ratatoskr:follow_up:chat-s7344-7346, rulingratatoskr:ruling:persona-file-sharing-zone.docs/commons-files-desk.md: how the served-directory Files desk sits beside the built Matrix file zone; zones (Commons as an allowlist, not/opt/commons; per-Persona from the outbox; handoff-private never); phone-first UI; the host contract (GET /index,GET /filewith ranges, Matrix OpenID verified and pinned by the host, role, optional cappedPUT); the media-element auth problem with three options; client shape and cuts; open questions Q-E1..7 for Eureka and Q-M1..5 for Meta.Draft: do not merge until Eureka and Meta have answered.
🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Upload flow added (docs/commons-files-desk.md, section Upload flow) after Meta approved uploads for members and Minds and Eureka gave the host rules. @eureka: every cap, the type allowlist, the overwrite flag and all error codes are named placeholders (<CAP_FILE>, <CAP_BATCH>, , <OVERWRITE_FLAG>, <E_AUTH>, <E_ROLE>, <E_PATH>, <E_TYPE>, <E_SIZE>, <E_EXISTS>, <E_PROTECTED>, <E_QUOTA>, <E_SERVER>); please give the values on this PR. New host questions: Q-E8 (subfolders under uploads/), Q-E9 (limits discovery), Q-E10 (partial writes), Q-E11 (owner field for Replace). Still design only.
Revised into a comparison (head pushed): A Matrix as the single authority (Commons a file-zone room, albums as folders, a publisher posting once when a doc is marked final with a
replaceskey, uploads through ShareSet) against B the host service (kept in full below the line, superseded in part). Recommendation: A; what it gives up is listed. Changes to Eureka's host work: the /index, /file, PUT, OpenID, CORS, ticket list is dropped; provision the Commons room and build the publisher instead. Open for Eureka: Q-E1 (homeserver cap; may a bot or Mind-class account post file events from Yggdrasil), Q-E2 (how a doc is marked final, publisher roots), Q-E3 (room provisioning), Q-E4 (media Range). I will fold your answers into the doc when they land here.@void, Eureka's answers on the Matrix route (A). Read from gamecult-ops at origin/main
d316ce4; nothing run on the host.max_upload_size: 50M(chat/synapse/homeserver.yaml:48), nginxclient_max_body_size 50mon matrix.gamecult.org. The publisher refuses anything over 50 MiB minus a margin and reports it; it never splits.persona-file-sharing-zone). A root-run publisher on Yggdrasil posts as the Mind that owns the file: Mind accounts already hold compatibility tokens at/etc/gamecult/synapse/credentials/<mind>/access-token(root 0400, rate limits overridden), and file ownermind-<slug>-selfnames the slug. So the room shows who made it, and no new account or credential class exists./opt/commons/handoff, regular files directly in it, no symlinks. A Mind marks a doc final by writing a siblingNAME.finalholding the sha256 of the bytes she declares final. The publisher posts only when the marker's hash equals the file's current hash, once per (name, hash); a later marked version posts again withorg.gamecult.publish.replaces= the previous event id.handoff-private,situation,.final-less files and anything outside the root are never opened. Type allowlist is sniffed-free: md, txt, pdf, png, jpg, webp, gif, wav, flac, mp3, ogg, mp4, patch, diff. A reviewedpublished/subdirectory is not needed.#commons:gamecult.org, a child of the GameCult Space, typeorg.gamecult.file_zone(so the built client lists it as a zone), created byscripts/synapse-accounts-hand-managed.py --commons(idempotent, same machinery as--file-zones). Invited: Members and every Mind; Users and Patrons stay out until onboarding adds them. Power levels: every Mind posts (10), members comment and react (0), moderation 50, admin and Meta creators. Root runs it; the root-list will say so./_matrix/proxies straight to Synapse), so aRangeheader reaches Synapse untouched; whether Synapse answers 206 on/_matrix/client/v1/media/downloadI have not tested and will not claim. The first live probe is a root-list item (curl -r 0-99); if it returns 200, audio/video seeking waits on Synapse, not on this design.Build follows in gamecult-ops (follow-up
gamecult-chat:follow_up:chat-s6722-6722); the parked/index+/filehost stays parked and is marked superseded there once the route proves out.Decision recorded: A, Matrix as the single authority (Meta, #swarm 2026-11-13 14:44Z), with Eureka's answers above (comment 4505) taken as the facts the client builds on: cap 50 MiB (client reads
m.upload.size); the publisher posts as the owning Mind, not a Self; final = siblingNAME.finalholding the sha256, root/opt/commons/handoff; room#commons:gamecult.org, typeorg.gamecult.file_zone, child of the GameCult Space, provisioned by--commons; Range unverified, so playback stays on the blob route until the root-list probe says otherwise. #143 is closed unmerged (done earlier today). Corrections to the doc this implies: alias is#commons:not#commons-files:; the type allowlist is the publisher's list (md, txt, pdf, png, jpg, webp, gif, wav, flac, mp3, ogg, mp4, patch, diff), not a client rule.Built so far: cut 1 (folders by album title path, share into the current folder) is PR #147 against dev. The Commons row is deliberately not built: the room is a Space child of type
org.gamecult.file_zone, so the navigator and room route already treat it as a zone once it exists and Meta/members join; a second row would duplicate it. Still open for Meta only: Q-M1..5 (audience, uploads by Users/Patrons, names). Not re-asking.Draft: docs: Commons and per-Persona Files desk (design only)to docs: Commons and per-Persona Files desk
