Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 f111297afd Make live updates survive the hub going away, and say when they have not
Three faults, one story: the stream could die silently, nothing told the
user, and nothing tested any of it.

**It did not recover.** EventSource retries on its own only when a
connection drops cleanly. An HTTP error response is fatal per spec —
readyState goes to CLOSED and the browser never tries again — and our
Caddy answers 502 for the seconds a hub restart takes. Measured: an open
stream, a 20s outage, and the tab stayed dead after the hub was back.
Every deploy did this to every open tab. There is now a reconnect loop
with jittered backoff, plus an immediate retry when a tab is refocused
or the network returns.

**Nothing said so.** The mail list has no polling fallback, so a dead
stream looks exactly like a quiet mailbox — the inbox stops changing and
nothing on screen explains why. A glow behind the logo now carries the
state, quiet when healthy, and announced rather than colour-only. While
the stream is down the list falls back to a 60s poll: strictly the worse
mechanism, which is why it runs only when the good one is unavailable.

**The hub accepted anyone.** dev.Caddyfile was in use in every
environment including TrueNAS, and it sets `anonymous`. Since
/.well-known/mercure* is proxied publicly, anyone who could reach an
instance could subscribe to mail/user/<any id> and watch that account's
sync activity. Both stacks now run the image's default config, which
requires the subscriber JWT.

That JWT expires — an hour by default, well inside a remember-me
session — and the hub only checks it when a connection is made, so the
expiry is invisible until the next reconnect is refused. /mercure/auth
re-issues the cookie, and the client refreshes it before every retry.

The cookie is attached by a response subscriber rather than by
`mercure(topics, {subscribe: …})` in the layout, because that helper
throws for a hub on another second-level domain and a throw in a
template takes the whole page with it. PHPUnit caught it at once: its
client requests as localhost against a 127.0.0.1 hub, and every
page-rendering test turned 500. An external hub is a legitimate
deployment; it should cost live updates, not the page.

Tests: compose.test.yaml grew a real hub, running the same non-anonymous
config as production so the suite exercises the authorization path
instead of one that accepts anything. The recovery spec stops the
container — `setOffline` does not sever an established SSE connection
and route interception never fires without a request, so both looked
like passing tests of nothing. It lives in the exclusive project: there
is one hub, and taking it away mid-run breaks specs that never asked.

Verified by disabling the reconnect and watching the recovery test fail,
then restoring it and watching it pass.

# plMail — TrueNAS SCALE custom app (Apps > Discover > ⋮ > Install via YAML)
#
# TrueNAS's YAML installer does NOT support ${VAR} interpolation, so all config is
# hoisted into the x-config block below and aliased (*name) into the services.
# Edit that block; nothing below it needs touching.
#
# You do NOT need to create any directories by hand. Every bind below carries
# create_host_path, so Docker makes them on first start. Point them at a dataset
# rather than a plain directory if you want ZFS snapshots of your mail.

# 1. REQUIRED — the only thing to configure. Everything else works as-is.
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
x-config:
# -- Storage --
# One directory. plMail makes its own subfolders inside it — postgres,
# attachments, raw, uploads, secrets — so there is nothing to create and
# nothing else to point anywhere.
#
# This is the whole install. Back it up, or make it a dataset and snapshot
# it: the secrets subfolder holds the key every mailbox password is
# encrypted with, and without it they are gone.

# stores it; the Mercure hub URL is then derived from it automatically
# (the hub is proxied on the same origin, at /.well-known/mercure).
