## Summary
Implement SHA-256-based hashcash proof-of-work for `POST /session` to prevent abuse via rapid session creation.
closes #11
## What Changed
### Server
- **New `internal/hashcash` package**: Validates hashcash stamps (format, difficulty bits, date/expiry, resource, replay prevention via in-memory spent set with TTL pruning)
- **Config**: `NEOIRC_HASHCASH_BITS` env var (default 20, set to 0 to disable)
- **`GET /api/v1/server`**: Now includes `hashcash_bits` field when > 0
- **`POST /api/v1/session`**: Validates `X-Hashcash` header when hashcash is enabled; returns HTTP 402 for missing/invalid stamps
### Clients
- **Web SPA**: Fetches `hashcash_bits` from `/server`, computes stamp using Web Crypto API (`crypto.subtle.digest`) with batched parallelism (1024 hashes/batch), shows "Computing proof-of-work..." feedback
- **CLI (`neoirc-cli`)**: `CreateSession()` auto-fetches server info and computes a valid hashcash stamp when required; new `MintHashcash()` function in the API package
### Documentation
- README updated with full hashcash documentation: stamp format, computing stamps, configuration, difficulty table
- Server info and session creation API docs updated with hashcash fields/headers
- Roadmap updated (hashcash marked as implemented)
## Stamp Format
Standard hashcash: `1:bits:YYMMDD:resource::counter`
The SHA-256 hash of the entire stamp string must have at least `bits` leading zero bits.
## Validation Rules
- Version must be `1`
- Claimed bits ≥ required bits
- Resource must match server name
- Date within 48 hours (not expired, not too far in future)
- SHA-256 hash has required leading zero bits
- Stamp not previously used (replay prevention)
## Testing
- All existing tests pass (hashcash disabled in test config with `HashcashBits: 0`)
- `docker build .` passes (lint + test + build)

Enforce `QUEUE_MAX_AGE` and `MAX_HISTORY` config values that previously existed but were not applied.
The existing cleanup loop now also:
- **Prunes `client_queues`** entries older than `QUEUE_MAX_AGE` (default 48h / 172800s)
- **Rotates `messages`** per target (channel or DM) beyond `MAX_HISTORY` (default 10000)
- **Removes orphaned messages** no longer referenced by any client queue
All pruning runs inside the existing periodic cleanup goroutine at the same interval as idle-user cleanup.
### Changes
- `internal/config/config.go`: Added `QueueMaxAge` field, reads `QUEUE_MAX_AGE` env var (default 172800)
- `internal/db/queries.go`: Added `PruneOldQueueEntries`, `PruneOrphanedMessages`, and `RotateChannelMessages` methods
- `internal/handlers/handlers.go`: Added `pruneQueuesAndMessages` called from `runCleanup`
- `README.md`: Updated data lifecycle, config table, and TODO checklist to reflect implementation

The background idle cleanup (DeleteStaleUsers) was removing stale
clients/sessions directly via SQL without sending QUIT notifications
to channel members. This caused timed-out users to silently disappear
from channels.
Now runCleanup identifies sessions that will be orphaned by the stale
client deletion and calls cleanupUser for each one first, ensuring
QUIT messages are sent to all channel members — matching the explicit
logout behavior.
Also refactored cleanupUser to accept context.Context instead of
*http.Request so it can be called from both HTTP handlers and the
background cleanup goroutine.
- Use context.Background() for cleanup goroutine instead of
OnStart ctx which is cancelled after startup completes
- Rename GetSessionCount→GetUserCount, DeleteStaleSessions→
DeleteStaleUsers to reflect that sessions represent users
- HandleLogout now fully cleans up when last client disconnects:
parts all channels (notifying members via QUIT), removes
empty channels, and deletes the session/user record
- docker build passes, all tests green, 0 lint issues
- Periodic cleanup loop deletes stale clients based on SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT
- Orphaned sessions (no clients) are cleaned up automatically
- last_seen already updated on each authenticated request via GetSessionByToken
Security:
- Add channel membership check before PRIVMSG (prevents non-members from sending)
- Add membership check on history endpoint (channels require membership, DMs scoped to own nick)
- Enforce MaxBytesReader on all POST request bodies
- Fix rand.Read error being silently ignored in token generation
Data integrity:
- Fix TOCTOU race in GetOrCreateChannel using INSERT OR IGNORE + SELECT
Build:
- Add CGO_ENABLED=0 to golangci-lint install in Dockerfile (fixes alpine build)
Linting:
- Strict .golangci.yml: only wsl disabled (deprecated in v2)
- Re-enable exhaustruct, depguard, godot, wrapcheck, varnamelen
- Fix linters-settings -> linters.settings for v2 config format
- Fix ALL lint findings in actual code (no linter config weakening)
- Wrap all external package errors (wrapcheck)
- Fill struct fields or add targeted nolint:exhaustruct where appropriate
- Rename short variables (ts->timestamp, n->bufIndex, etc.)
- Add depguard deny policy for io/ioutil and math/rand
- Exclude G704 (SSRF) in gosec config (CLI client takes user-configured URLs)
Tests:
- Add security tests (TestNonMemberCannotSend, TestHistoryNonMember)
- Split TestInsertAndPollMessages for reduced complexity
- Fix parallel test safety (viper global state prevents parallelism)
- Use t.Context() instead of context.Background() in tests
Docker build verified passing locally.
- Merge fanOut/fanOutDirect into single fanOut method
- Move channel lookup to db.GetChannelByName
- Add regex validation for nicks and channel names
- Split HandleSendCommand into per-command helper methods
- Add charset to Content-Type header
- Add sentinel error for unauthorized
- Cap history limit to 500
- Skip NICK change if new == old
- Add empty command check
Major changes:
- Consolidated schema into single migration with IRC envelope format
- Messages table stores command/from/to/body(JSON)/meta(JSON) per spec
- Per-client delivery queues (client_queues table) with fan-out
- In-memory broker for long-poll notifications (no busy polling)
- GET /messages supports ?after=<queue_id>&timeout=15 long-polling
- All commands (JOIN/PART/NICK/TOPIC/QUIT/PING) broadcast events
- Channels are ephemeral (deleted when last member leaves)
- PRIVMSG to nicks (DMs) fan out to both sender and recipient
- SPA rewritten in vanilla JS (no build step needed):
- Long-poll via recursive fetch (not setInterval)
- IRC envelope parsing with system message display
- /nick, /join, /part, /msg, /quit commands
- Unread indicators on inactive tabs
- DM tabs from user list clicks
- Removed unused models package (was for UUID-based schema)
- Removed conflicting UUID-based db methods
- Increased HTTP write timeout to 60s for long-poll support
- Fix stuttering type names (e.g. config.ConfigParams → config.Params)
- Add doc comments to all exported types/functions/methods
- Add package doc comments to all packages
- Fix JSON tags to camelCase
- Extract magic numbers to constants
- Add blank lines per nlreturn/wsl_v5 rules
- Use errors.Is() for error comparison
- Unexport NewLoggingResponseWriter (not used externally)
- Replace for-range on ctx.Done() with channel receive
- Rename unused parameters to _
- AGENTS.md: all changes via feature branches, no direct main commits
