Makes a Karvan room work between two different phones once they're connected to a pub:
- karvan_model: rooms track remoteFeeds (SSB ids of other participants); addRemoteFeed/
getRemoteFeeds/anyRemoteRooms (feed-id validated, capped at MAX_MEMBERS).
- backend: inviting registers the invitee's feed; joining by link registers the inviter's
feed (read from the invite PM). Posting a message publishes a private 'karvan-relay' to
those feeds; an efficient LIVE log-stream subscriber (createLogStream old:false live:true)
ingests incoming relays and injects them into the local mirror room (dedup by mid,
skips own → no loop). WebRTC SIGNAL frames are NOT relayed (too many/slow for the log).
- Chosen over a muxrpc plugin because a classic pub only replicates the LOG (store-and-forward);
live muxrpc wouldn't reach the other phone. No SSB-startup changes → no boot risk.
Verified: boot OK with the live stream, invite/adopt register feeds, message posts + relay
publishes, server stays up, 16/16 tests. Cross-device delivery needs the user's 2-phone+pub test.
Note: text chat only — video still needs the wrapper camera permission (Fase 3).
Dead code (from the abandoned thumb-zone/Explore-sheet nav experiment):
- OasisMobile.css: removed ~90 lines of orphaned CSS (.oasis-bottombar-fork/.bb-fab-*,
.hive-sheet*/.fork-sheet*/.hsq-*, .omt-spacer, .hive-sheet-seg/.hs-seg, dead
.oasis-bottombar-fixed) — no element emits any of them.
- main_views.js: removed renderHiveSheet() (never called; sole emitter of that CSS).
- karvan_view.js: dropped dead export karvanShortId + unused karvanView param.
- Added a style for .karvan-msg-live (client emitted it with no rule).
Karvan security (from the review):
- GET /karvan/:id only adopts a mirror room on a real navigation (sec-fetch-dest
document / Accept text/html), not on <img>/subresources → fixes a CSRF that could
spam/evict the user's ephemeral rooms.
- Cap room.members at 50 (was unbounded; each poll echoed it back).
- Reject signal payloads >16KB (SDP/ICE are tiny) — anti memory-DoS.
- karvan.js: guard malformed {kind:desc} signals so one bad signal can't abort a poll batch.
Tests: 15/15 (added members-cap + oversized-payload). Verified: CSRF fix (nav=200,
subresource=302), pages unchanged after CSS removal, boot clean.
Reuses Oasis's own private-message invite pattern (like the industry module:
pmModel.sendMessage([feed], 'KARVAN_INVITE', '... -> /karvan/<id>')), so the invite
lands in the contact's inbox with a link — no new SSB code, no touching the SSB
startup. Joining a room by link adopts a local mirror (karvanModel.adoptRoom, the
id is the capability). Real-time cross-device signaling (media/text sync between
the two mirrors) is the remaining Fase 2 piece (muxrpc ephemeral), deferred.
Verified single-node: invite publishes to the inbox, validation, adopt, form; 13/13
model tests (added adoptRoom).
Oasis ships no test runner, so this is a dependency-free node script (node
test/karvan_model.test.js). Covers rooms, ephemeral messages, the 250-msg ring
buffer, truncation/validation, self-destruct by idle+absolute TTL, idle reset on
activity, MAX_ROOMS eviction, and the WebRTC signaling mailbox. Lives in test/
(outside src/), so it is not bundled into the APK.
