- docker-compose-dev.yml: the redis host port is overridable (REDIS_PORT in the root
.env, 6379 by default as in the sibling apps), and the pod provider, in host network
mode, follows it for its queue and OIDC redis. All of ./data/fuseki is mounted at the
image's SEMAPPS_FUSEKI_BASE, so account deletion removes the backups and, 24 h later,
the secure dataset's files (it answered 500 without the mount).
- backend: GET /app served the app actor snapshot the mixin takes before it creates or
replaces the access-need group, so a dataset's first boot lacked the link until a
restart; the app service refreshes the snapshot from the store at the end of started().
- e2e smoke: the post-install poll sends Accept: application/ld+json; the pod answers 500
to a container read in any other format.
- Docs: cookbook (Redis port, mounts, hot reload, dataset-named accounts, fresh-boot
note), deployment note, env examples; claims about a parallel race are no longer stated
as fact.
Festipod now follows the local convention of welcometomyplace, mutual-aid.app
and portejunes: one fixed port pair per app (Festipod defaults: backend 3005,
app 4005; pod provider 3000/5000), overridable in backend/.env and .env.
`make start` runs docker-compose-dev.yml (the local pod provider from images,
Fuseki, Redis, mailcatcher, Arena); the backend and the app run outside Docker
with `cd backend && pnpm dev` and `pnpm dev`. pnpm stays the package manager.
The old docker-compose.yml, which containerized Festipod's own frontend and
backend and could not reach the host's Fuseki and Redis, is gone; portless is
dropped from the dev script, since the backend declares a single OIDC redirect
URI. The local backend runs without a Redis cache, as the sibling apps do. The
e2e suites and validate read the app, backend and pod provider URLs from the
env files instead of hardcoding them.
The deployment and local cookbook leaves record the traps met while resetting
datasets: a dataset re-created under the same name needs a Fuseki restart
(ClosedException otherwise), the anonymous WebACL probe at boot is expected,
and a change of the backend's URL leaves persistent accounts with a
participations collection the new app identity cannot control.
Participation privacy (decision_2026-10-29_participation-privacy-mechanism):
a sign-up is a private Join naming the meeting point, addressed to nobody,
handled by the backend on emission. Attendee lists hold member URNs hashed
from (WebID, event, a secret kept in the participant's profile), so counts
stay public and only contacts recognise anyone; the creator has no read
right and is notified anonymously. Each person's participations collection,
created by the backend at the first sign-up, is readable by their /contacts
WAC group only, never world-readable. The member URN is sticky per
(meeting point, participant) and every collection write is verified by
reading back, so a refused write leaves the act unrecorded and retryable.
The EventRef mechanism and its browser-side provisioning are gone.
The backend now runs with WebACL on, as the reference apps do, on its own
secure datasets festipod / settings-festipod instead of the pod provider's
settings dataset; pod-notifications needs it. The compose header and the
deployment leaf say how to reset a stack whose datasets predate this.
The rights matrix covers the new mechanism live (148 hard lines), including
a forged contact Accept between throwaway accounts: the stranger enters the
contacts list (platform defect, reported upstream) but is refused the profile
and the participations. Tests may attack as long as they never break the dev
environment (rule_tests-never-break-the-dev-environment).
Also lands the coherence-pass work that was still uncommitted: contacts as
the Pod's social graph and invite links, image upload to the Pod, the
meeting-point form, profile completion gate, and the doctrine for them.
Superseded briefs and decisions are deleted rather than annotated.

`link-polyfill.ts` handled one provider. It now handles two through a registry,
one of which is not a polyfill, so both the filename and the `link:` verb said
something false — and a name that is short but wrong misleads more than an opaque
one would.
It becomes `overlay-local-checkout.ts`, which is the operation: it copy-overlays a
local package checkout into node_modules for development. "link" also implied a
symlink, which is precisely what the script exists NOT to do — its own header
spends a paragraph on why.
No behaviour changed: same registry, same copy, same `--once`, same watch loop,
same assertion. Both providers exercised afterwards, each reporting the singletons
it must preserve — one package for the data layer, two for the indexing package,
whose own checkout carries `file:` links and would otherwise smuggle in a second
verifier.
Seven references repaired by rewriting the sentence that carried them rather than
swapping a path, across the script, `package.json`, `.env.example` and four
doctrine leaves. No compatibility alias left behind: an old name kept "just in
case" would restore exactly the ambiguity being removed.
The contract requires the application to serve a wallet file and hand its URL
and password to the data layer. Until now the only source was a filesystem
path, which no container has: `*.ngw` is gitignored, `COPY . .` brings none, and
nothing mounts one -- so a deployed instance served 404 where the contract
expects bytes.
`FESTIPOD_SHARED_WALLET_FILE_BASE64` carries the file itself. It is 810 bytes,
and it is not a secret: by design the application hands it to every user who
opens the app, so provisioning persistent storage would be guarding something
public. One channel for both values, nothing to mount, and a new host needs only
its variables.
Precedence is deliberate and one-directional: the path always wins when set, and
an unreadable path does NOT fall through to the base64 form. A deployment sets
exactly one; both set is a leftover, not a fallback chain. Local development and
the test harness only ever set the path, so they are untouched.
A malformed value answers 500 and names the variable. Answering 404 would have
made "configured wrong" indistinguishable from "not configured at all" -- the
confusion this codebase has spent two days removing.
Proven by serving the same wallet from each source in turn and comparing:
identical size, identical sha256. The first attempt at that proof silently
exercised the path branch, because Bun auto-loads `.env` and the variable was
already there; the checksums matched for the wrong reason. Caught, cleared, and
measured again.
The data layer is now reached through one pulled, version-pinned engagement
(`.project/concepts/data-layer/contract_polyfill-surface.md`, @1ecf511e9d).
That copy is the only reference: the provider's sources are never opened, and
what the contract does not answer is a gap raised with it, never worked around
here.
Surface
- `@ng-eventually/sdk` -> `@ng-eventually/polyfill`, one entry point.
- `configure` loses `getSession`, `normalizeId`, `currentUser`; the session
belongs to the package and its own `init` captures it.
- Placement is named by scope alone -- a session is one user, so the app no
longer passes an identity it had no way to obtain. This removes a constant
that made every user collide on one owner's document.
- `init(...)` then `await ensureIdentity()`, in that order, as one sequence:
React runs child effects first, so the two calls sat in the wrong order and
the contract now makes that throw.
- `sessionId` relayed as `string | number`, `materialize` -> `read`.
A rejection means "unknown", never "absent"
Four places treated a caught error as an empty result. The worst wrote a
duplicate participation: an unknown count read as zero defeated the idempotence
guard of `joinEvent`. Also fixed: a per-document count, a silently dropped
notification shown optimistically anyway, and a failed listing that left the
owned-event set empty and disabled the materializer for the whole session.
Shared identity is not a Festipod notion
A browser context is one user. The per-scenario identity plant is deleted at
its source and its five sites; what stays is the deployment's wallet file,
which the contract requires an application to serve.
Documentation
The doctrine no longer describes how the data layer works underneath: five
leaves whose subject was internals are gone, a dozen more are re-founded on the
contract's own words, and two frozen arbitrations about a deleted screen were
removed rather than left to mislead a future session.
Test harness
It can sign in at last: cucumber runs under node, which does not load `.env`,
so the harness never received the wallet material and every scenario silently
fell back to an empty local mode. A failed sign-in is now loud on both sides.
The suite also releases what it opens and exits on its own -- runs were still
resident hours after reporting, holding a browser and two servers.
Known red: `@data` cannot be measured. The served wallet accumulates and
nothing resets it; moving the browser profile aside does not, since the data
lives in the wallet file, not the profile.
