jcoffey-dev is traveling from Thursday 1 October through Sunday 4 October. Issues and pull requests are welcome, and will get an answer after that. Thanks for your patience.
The v2026.9.30.1 binaries job lost a 50 MB upload to Gitea's release
API on each of its two runs (curl 92, HTTP/2 PROTOCOL_ERROR; the origin
logged 400 with no body), arm64 the first time and amd64 the second.
The uploads cross Cloudflare. A failed run also left the release short
of the file it had just deleted.
Uploads now go over HTTP/1.1, and every API call retries 5 times.
The v2026.9.30 tag build's arm64 publish job was killed linking the
inbuxa binary (fat LTO, one codegen unit): cannot allocate memory on the
16 GB ubuntu-24.04-arm runner. index, ghcr, release, binaries and
announce were skipped. amd64 got through on the same size of runner.
Each publish job now adds a 16 GB swap file before the build; buildx's
container has no memory limit of its own, so the linker can use it.
Each node stores histograms as running totals since it started. A sample
didn't say which node wrote it (the node was only in the id's low bits),
so a reader couldn't diff totals per node, and the console diffed across
nodes: on the three-node production cluster the delivery attempt time
read 14.7 s over the last hour against 0.7 s from the nodes' own figures.
x:Metric/get now returns nodeId alongside timestamp, both from the id.
The telemetry suite checks every sample carries it.
The Gitea registry stays authoritative; GHCR becomes a copy of it, the way
the GitHub repository is a copy of the Gitea one. After the tag build has
pushed the release image to the registry, a new ghcr job copies it to
ghcr.io under the same version tag and :latest with `imagetools create` --
a copy, not a rebuild, so the digest on GHCR is the digest on the registry.
Anything still pulling the old ghcr.io name, including the TrueNAS app
submission, keeps receiving releases. The job uses the run's own token and is
left out of the status reported to Gitea, so a GHCR problem cannot fail a
release.
The mirror carries tags to GitHub but not releases, so the replica's
Releases page -- and anyone watching the repository there -- stopped at the
last release made on GitHub. After the tag build has published, a new
github-release job copies the tag's Gitea release to a GitHub release: the
same notes, with PR and issue numbers rewritten to Gitea links, the same
files, and a line pointing back to the Gitea release.
It uses the run's own token and is left out of the status reported to
Gitea, so it cannot fail a release. With no Gitea release for the tag it
does nothing.
GitHub scopes a run's Actions cache to its ref, so the cache a tag build
wrote could only ever be read by that same tag: the next release built cold
anyway. Each release also parked several GB of Rust layers in the
repository's 10 GB cache, enough to evict main's cargo cache and slow
everyday builds too. The image builds now run without a cache.
The github job only polls Gitea for GitHub's commit status, but it holds a
runner slot for as long as the GitHub build takes -- the better part of an
hour for a cold build. On the shared build runners a handful of those
could take every slot and stall real work, so it now runs on the `wait`
label: a runner of its own, with many slots, no docker socket and a small
CPU and memory cap.
The mirror can push one commit twice in quick succession. GitHub then
starts two runs and cancels the older, and that run's report job posted
"failure" for the commit. Gitea's github job, seeing the newest status,
failed the check while the surviving run was still building and later
passed.
A cancelled run now posts nothing and leaves the result to the run that
superseded it. A real failure still reports failure.
This repository is now push-mirrored to GitHub, where issues and pull
requests would never reach the maintainers. A note under the title says
where development happens, and sends issues to git.coffeylabs.org and
discussions to community.coffeylabs.org.
Gitea stays where the project lives and push-mirrors every branch and tag
to GitHub. With the Actions variable BUILD_ON set to 'github' on both
forges, the GitHub copy does the building and reports back to Gitea as a
commit status; unset, nothing changes and Gitea builds as before.
.github/workflows/ci.yml replaces the GitHub-era files. Branch pushes run
what Gitea's ci.yml checks (fork checks, dev build, test targets, the
release profile on main). v* tags run what publish.yml does, with the same
two guards: the image per architecture on native runners side by side,
the multi-arch index and :latest, the Gitea Release if the tag has none,
and the host-install binaries taken out of the image. A final job posts
"github/ci (branch)" or "github/ci (tag)" to the commit on Gitea.
On Gitea, the heavy jobs skip under BUILD_ON=github and a `github` job
waits for that status and passes or fails with it, so pull requests and
merges still look at a Gitea run. The weekly release, the upstream watch
and the announcement stay on Gitea.
Removed: cleanup.yml and publish.yml (GHCR), release.yml (a second weekly
schedule), and dependabot.yml, whose pull request branches every mirror
sync would delete.
Documents under C-5 why oAuthClientOverride counts only in bootstrap
and recovery mode, and adds tests/e2e/client_override.py: the
recovery administrator keeps the override in both modes; after setup,
an administrator gets no code for an unregistered client or a
redirect URI its client didn't register, and a device code approved
for an unregistered client can't be exchanged. The script fails
against a build without the change (3 of 8) and passes with it.
The recovery administrator signs in before any OAuth client is
registered, so it needs to skip the registration check. Outside
bootstrap and recovery mode, every account now signs in through a
registered client and one of its redirect URIs.
Anyone could host a copy of a front end on a server of their own,
collect a person's password there, and replay it as HTTP Basic against
JMAP or the API. Cross-origin rules don't stop that, since a server
isn't a browser, and neither does client registration, since Basic
never goes through OAuth (contract C-23).
JMAP (session, API, upload, download, event source, WebSocket), /api,
/auth/introspect, /auth/userinfo and authenticated /auth/register now
refuse an Authorization: Basic header before looking at the password,
with a 401 whose only challenge is Bearer. A wrong password gets the
same answer as the right one. CalDAV and CardDAV keep Basic, and their
401s still offer it. The sign-in page's /api/auth takes the password in
its body and is unaffected, as is the token endpoint's client
authentication.
Bootstrap and recovery mode accept Basic everywhere, as they keep
permissive CORS. INBUXA_HTTP_BASIC_AUTH=all puts it back everywhere;
dav is the default, and any other value logs a warning and keeps it.
Test builds accept Basic everywhere, since the integration suites sign
in with passwords, and legacy_protocols.py sets the variable.
Tested: unit tests for the paths, and tests/e2e/http_basic_auth.py
against the debug build, 26 checks, including both front ends' sign-in
path and a refused unregistered redirect.
Phase 4 of the journaling spec.
- inbuxa:JournalEntry/query and /get (sysJournalSearch): filter by time,
sender, recipient, either, direction, subject words, Message-ID and
journal, newest first; the whole report only when asked for.
- inbuxa:JournalExport/set (sysJournalExport): a reason is required; a
ZIP of the matching reports with manifest.csv, exceptions.csv and
manifest.sha256, up to 10,000 reports and 1 GB.
- inbuxa:JournalVerification/set (sysJournalGet): chains and reports
rechecked.
- Every search, listing, read, export and check is written to the audit
log before anything is returned, with existing actions only.
- Catalog entries for the three objects; spec as-built notes.
journal_tests: administrators can't search; a Compliance Officer searches,
lists, reads a report, exports (reason required) and checks the chain;
the officer can't change journals; each of those is in the audit log.
Phase 3 of the journaling spec.
- A journal's destination: builtIn (true for journals stored before) and
archiveAddress, at least one. Reports to an archive are queued from the
empty sender, one per address, flagged so they're never journaled.
- A pending record per report. When the queue lets go of one without
delivering it (refused, expired, deleted), it becomes its own entry in
the built-in journal under the sending journals' retention, the
journal's archiveFailures (count, last time, reason) goes up, and the
audit log records it; if that can't be written it stays queued.
- Journal it: a rule action naming a journal, on mail flow rules and
beside a DLP rule's block, warn or hold. A journal whose scope chooses
nobody takes only what rules send it.
- The report lists recipients a rule added or redirected to under
"Added by rule", by rule name.
- A rule's route is cleared between messages in one SMTP session, with the
new journal marks; a second message used to keep the first one's route.
tests/src/system/journal.rs: destination validation, a rule-only journal
fed by a rule that also adds a recipient, an unreachable archive's report
kept in the built-in journal with the failure counted, a report delivered
to an archive here and not journaled itself.
Phase 2 of the journaling spec.
- A copy of each message is taken in MessageWrapper::queue, after DLP and
transport rules, for every enabled journal that takes it (direction and
scope: everyone, or accounts, groups, domains, tenants). If the copy
can't be taken the message isn't queued (temporary failure).
- The journal report: the envelope one field a line (sender, To, Cc, Bcc
from the envelope, list members from their ORCPT, direction, held for
review), then the queued message byte for byte as message/rfc822.
- The built-in journal under J in the inbuxa subspace: one chain per node
whose links name each entry by SHA-256, so entries can expire out of
chain order; purge leaves a marker, and verify catches an entry changed
or removed early and a report that doesn't match.
- Retention per journal (30 to 3650 days); an entry keeps what it was
written with. The daily maintenance purges what's due, keeping entries
whose people a legal hold covers (deleted accounts a hold keeps too),
and records the counts in the audit log.
- inbuxa:Journal get/set, audited by the request layer. Permissions
680-683: administrators see and change journals; the Compliance Officer
sees, searches and exports. Whoever changes journals may grant search and
export without holding them, so officers can still be appointed.
- Catalog entries (inbuxa:Journal, source "journal"); spec as-built notes.
tests/src/system/journal.rs: validation, internal mail with a Bcc,
outgoing into two journals, incoming over LMTP, the report and its
original, tamper and early removal caught, hold-aware purge, retention
changes leave entries alone, disabled and removed journals take nothing.
