Summary
Adds username and hostname support to sessions, enabling standard IRC hostmask format (
nick!user@host) for WHOIS, WHO, and future+bban matching.closes sneak/chat#81

nick!user@hostformatusernamefieldDocker build
docker build .passes cleanly (lint, format, tests, build).The sessions table also needs IP (real client IP of session creator) and each client connection also needs IP and hostname.
Rework Summary
Addressed sneak's feedback to add IP tracking to sessions and IP+hostname tracking to each client connection.

NAMES does not show username/hostname — Issue #81 explicitly says:
Neither
handleNames(explicit/NAMEScommand, ~line 2044) nordeliverNamesNumerics(JOIN-triggered NAMES, ~line 1465) was updated. Both still output plain nicks only:The
ChannelMembersquery was correctly updated to returnUsernameandHostname, but the NAMES reply doesn't use them. The data is available but not exposed.The
353 RPL_NAMREPLYbody should include hostmask info (e.g.nick!user@hostformat, similar to IRCv3userhost-in-names). The README's NAMES example also still shows plain nicks, consistent with the code gap.No test exists for NAMES showing username/hostname.
Required Fix
handleNamesanddeliverNamesNumericsto include username/hostname in the NAMES reply body (e.g.nick!user@hostformat with mode prefix where applicable).353example to reflect the new format.Verdict
FAIL — The issue explicitly names
/namesas a required output surface for username/hostname, and it was not implemented. Everything else is solid.Rework Summary
Fixed the NAMES handler to include hostmask data as identified in the review.

clientIP(),resolveHostname(),resolveUsername(),validateHashcash(),FormatHostmask()are all well-separated utility functionsHostmask()method onMemberInfois the right pattern — keeps formatting logic centralizedMinor Documentation Note
The README prose section correctly documents
ipon sessions andip/hostnameon clients, but the Database Schema reference tables are missing these rows:sessionstable:ipcolumn not in tableclientstable:ipandhostnamecolumns not in tableThis is a minor inconsistency (prose is correct, table is incomplete). Not blocking.
session gets ip+hostname and that is used for the display and /whois etc. client gets ip and hostname and that is not displayed anywhere at the moment (except when an oper does /whois of a user).
oper being server o-line not channel +o
documentation and code being out of sync is always blocking.
Rework: oper-only client IP/hostname in WHOIS
Implemented per sneak's instructions — client-level IP/hostname is now only visible to server operators (o-line users) via WHOIS.

Misplaced function comment:
handleAwaycomment now decorateshandleOper(internal/handlers/api.goline 2796).The
handleOperfunction was inserted between the existinghandleAwaydoc comment and thehandleAwayfunction definition:Result:
handleOper(line 2798) has the wrong doc comment — it says "handles the AWAY command"handleAway(line 2866) has no doc comment at allsneak stated on this PR: "documentation and code being out of sync is always blocking". A function comment that describes a completely different function is exactly that.
Required Fix
handleOper(e.g.// handleOper handles the OPER command. Authenticates the session as a server operator (o-line) using configured credentials.)handleAwaydoc comment above the actualhandleAwayfunctionNon-blocking Note
!=(line ~2834) rather thancrypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare. This is a minor timing-attack surface. Not blocking for this PR since IRC oper auth is typically plaintext comparison and the env-var approach limits exposure, but worth hardening in a follow-up.Verdict
FAIL — One blocking issue: misplaced function comment creates doc/code mismatch. Everything else is solid. Simple fix.
Rework complete — fixed misplaced doc comments.

Both name and password are compared in constant time. Short-circuit on empty config is fine — it leaks no information about valid credentials (just that no o-line is configured, which is not secret).
No issues found. Clean fix for a real security concern.

Addresses both of sneak's complaints directly: tests are fast (11s local / 27s Docker) and output is concise (17 lines). No shortcuts taken — production bcrypt cost untouched, no assertions weakened, no linter config changes.
make it rerun tests with -v if and only if the tests fail on a first run with no -v - we want all the output if the tests aren’t passing. also make me a PR for sneak/prompts repo policies documenting this pattern.
