Makes a self-hosted hub safe to expose on a public URL and operable
without hand-editing JSON — addressing the blocker/major findings from
the persona usability evaluations.
Signup gating (config auth block, all optional):
- allowed_domains: signup email must match (e.g. only @runbear.io)
- require_verification: email-link activation before sign-in (reuses mailer)
- require_approval: hub admins approve new accounts (admins list)
- brand shown on the sign-in page; allow_signup:false already hid Sign up
Accounts carry a Status (active/unverified/pending); non-active accounts
cannot authenticate.
Admin lifecycle (endpoints + web UI):
- org: rename, member role change, member remove (last-owner guarded),
invite list + revoke
- project: create (web), rename, delete (from the org panel)
- hub admins: approve/deny pending signups (sidebar bell + panel)
- org-wide public-share audit with revoke
UX: onboarding empty-state (explains invites, paste-invite + create-project)
instead of a blank sidebar; visible "Search ⌘K" button; toasts replace
blocking alert(); responsive layout with an off-canvas sidebar; joining
via #join now survives a logged-out click (token carried through login).
Web uploads are attributed to the signed-in account, not the server.
Login/signup are rate-limited per IP.
Tests: domain/verification/approval gates, auth rate limit, org+project
lifecycle, owner-only guards, invite→join→role→remove over HTTP.

Every hub project now belongs to exactly one org (file-backed orgs.json,
same load-at-open + atomic-rewrite discipline as the other registries).
Membership (email -> owner|member) gates every per-project route: the
viewer APIs, uploads, history, blobs, shares management, and the device
sync store proxy; /api/projects lists only your orgs' projects, and
project names are now scoped per org. Public share links (/s/) stay
public by design.
Design choices, per the simplest-consistent rule:
- Migration: a pre-org hub sweeps all org-less projects into a "default"
org at startup; ALL existing accounts join it (they could all see every
project before, so anything narrower would lock someone out), oldest
account as owner. Zero manual steps.
- An account in no org that creates a project gets a fresh org named
after itself, so nobody is ever blocked from starting to sync.
- Invites are expiring multi-use links (default 7 days): an owner mints
/#join/<token>, any signed-in account that opens it joins as member.
The web UI shows the org in a sidebar footer (members on click,
Invite button for owners).
bdrive init needed no changes: its connect-existing flow lists projects
through the now-filtered API.
Tests: OrgDB + migration units; a 403/access matrix over every
per-project route; invite mint/redeem flow; and a multi-device syncer
test proving a device holding an org-B token can neither pull org A's
files nor push into its store (sync degrades to Offline, never partial).

The web server (bdrive web) becomes a full sync hub, and client devices
get one-command onboarding — without ever seeing storage info or holding
cloud credentials:
- bdrive web -c config.json: server configurable from a JSON file
(remote/addr/upload/upload_ttl/projects_db); explicit flags win.
- Hub mode: pointing bdrive web at a storage root hosts many projects,
each under <root>/<project-id>/ (remote.Prefixed). Projects live in a
file-backed registry (projects.json — loaded at open, rewritten
atomically per change) with create-or-join-by-name semantics.
- Per-project APIs: /api/projects (list/create/get) and
/api/p/<id>/{tree,file,render,download,upload/*,store/*}. The web UI
grows a project list with per-project browsing and hash deep links.
- Browser uploads and a store proxy for syncing devices: presigned
direct-to-storage PUTs when the backend can sign (S3 presign, GCS V4
signed URLs; expiring, credential-free), relayed through the server
otherwise. Journals are never presigned — only immutable blobs.
Blobs-before-journal and one-writer-per-journal invariants hold.
- https:// remote backend: a device syncs one hub project through
/api/p/<id>/store/* — mnt/sync/daemon/log all work unchanged.
- bdrive login <url>: verify a hub and remember it as the device default
(settings.json). bdrive init: create-or-join a project named after the
folder (--name/--project override), write .bdrive, seed a starter
.bdriveignore, mount, and start the daemon — one command per project.
- Hard-break rename: .beardrive->.bdrive, .beardriveignore->.bdriveignore,
~/.beardrive->~/.bdrive, BEARDRIVE_HOME->BDRIVE_HOME, temp/conflict
prefixes; old names are no longer read.
- Tests: presigning, project registry persistence, store API validation
and gating, project isolation over live HTTP, browser upload flows, and
two-device convergence through a hub (incl. read-only pull-only mode).
