SimpleLogin takes only https redirect addresses, each registered exactly,
so the instance's SimpleLogin app registers one page on the register's
web server, /simplelogin-callback, which sends the browser on to the app
that began the sign-in: a 303 to the desktop's loopback (127.0.0.1, a port
per app) or the phone's scheme, chosen by the marker the state begins with
(`<app>-<platform>.<rest>`, the rest 1 to 512 characters of base64url),
from a fixed table, so it sends nobody anywhere else. It forwards the code
or SimpleLogin's error (`deny`) with the state and nothing else, refuses
anything malformed, repeated or not a GET with a page that repeats nothing
it was given, and keeps and logs nothing (no-store, no referrer). It is
built ahead of the sign-in itself so development can sign in through
learn.halkyon.eu's page, which the development app registers too.
Android's assetlinks.json for Halkyon Learn signed with the release key
is answered by the Caddyfile on learn.halkyon.eu alone: the one domain the
project's builds name, and the server knows no app's key. A root test
holds its fingerprint to tool/release/android-certificate.sha256. The
app's intent filter comes with the sign-in; iOS's association waits for
an Apple team ID.
The profile page's language choice and look move to common/web_page.dart,
shared by both pages.

The developer decided on 23 Oct to drop the hand-off to an AI assistant
outside the app, and Claude's connector with it, in v0.19.0, the app and
the server together: build 22 raises minimumAppBuild anyway, so no app
calling the connector's endpoints uses the instance after it. An instance
is to have one way to an assistant, its operator's (ADR 0021, proposed).
The app: the field at the foot of Home, and the button in the Library, on
a studyset and while studying, search the web alone, through the engine
chosen in Settings or Android's own search, with the parts of a card the
person picks; a studyset's name and description are never offered. Gone:
the assistants a question opened in (AiAssistant, AssistantHandOff), the
switch between them and the web, Settings' choice of assistant, Connect
Claude with its route, cubit, repository and gateway, and their texts. A
settings file from before keeps the old keys until the next change of a
setting writes it anew; nothing reads them.
The server: lib/src/assistant/ (MCP, its OAuth, the five tools, connect
codes and tokens), AssistantEndpoint, the daily forgetting of the
connector's secrets (its scheduled call cancelled at start), its lines in
the deletion hook, instance.info().assistantConnectorUrl (nullable, so an
older app reads it as none), and Caddy's forwarding of /mcp, /oauth/* and
/.well-known/oauth-*. The migration drops the connector's five tables,
children first:
DROP TABLE "assistant_token" CASCADE; -- tokens of a connection
DROP TABLE "assistant_grant" CASCADE; -- OAuth codes of a connection
DROP TABLE "assistant_connection" CASCADE; -- a person's connected client
DROP TABLE "assistant_connect_code" CASCADE;
DROP TABLE "assistant_client" CASCADE; -- OAuth clients registered
No other table references them, so CASCADE drops only their own foreign
keys. For the minute between the maintenance run and the switch, the old
server answers the connector with errors and fails to delete an account
(its hook still deletes from these tables); ADR 0022 says so.
BREAKING CHANGE: a connected Claude gets no answer from the deploy on, and
the app no longer opens a question in an AI assistant.

Every per-network limit counted by the connection's address, which behind
Caddy is Caddy's for everyone: new anonymous accounts, codes by mail and
password sign-ins were each limited for the whole instance.
`networkOf` (now `common/network.dart`) takes the last address of
X-Forwarded-For, the one the proxy saw itself, for a connection from a
proxy the operator trusts (`TRUSTED_PROXIES`, which deploy/compose.yaml
sets to Caddy's fixed address); otherwise, or where that is no address,
the connection's. Never the Forwarded header, which Caddy passes on as
sent, so never Serverpod's `remoteInfo`. A value that isn't addresses
stops the server as it starts.
Serverpod's own limit on anonymous accounts counts by the connection's
address too and can't be told otherwise, so it is off; the anonymous
endpoint counts them itself, 30 an hour per network as before.

halkyon_base runs as the instance's register or as one of its members.
The register keeps the ways in, handles and profiles; members ask it
over HTTP with the instance's shared secret (instanceSecret), and open
sessions of their own for its accounts, under the same account ID.
- AccountsMode from the environment: INSTANCE_MEMBERS on the register,
ACCOUNT_REGISTER_URL on a member. Learn always holds the register
(Explore joins the profiles); Todo is a member where it is set.
- AccountRegister: LocalRegister, RemoteRegister, an in-memory one in
tests. Calls between services on the web server, refused without the
secret (constant-time compare); a server needing it doesn't start
without it.
- Deleting an account deletes it everywhere: notices per member kept in
the deletion's transaction (account_deletion_notice), told at once and
hourly until confirmed; members prune daily whom the register no longer
knows, never while it knows none of them or can't be reached.
- Deploy: INSTANCE_SECRET and INSTANCE_MEMBERS in compose and .env.

Once the person agrees, the device holds MeCab's IPADIC and the
instance's JMdict and cuts lines as Jisho.org does, so their text never
leaves it (ADR 0012). MeCab comes through mecab_for_dart, whose build
hook compiles it; its tokens are grouped by Ve's rules, written anew in
Dart, with に kept a word of its own. Each word is found as it stands or
as a form of a word, else by its dictionary form, else as the longest
words it holds from token to token; longer words over token boundaries
are offered as before.
The curator packs Ubuntu's compiled IPADIC beside the dictionary files
(curate ipadic, and every update run). The server exports its JMdict
from its tables, so the device finds the same keys and keeps the same
versions, and serves both at /device-dictionaries/, named in
dictionary.deviceFiles('ja') with their hashes; Caddy forwards the path.
The app checks each file against its hash, unpacks IPADIC, builds a
SQLite database from the export on an isolate, and asks the instance
for newer files every 30 days, downloading only what changed. The Watch
screen offers the download once per device with its size (34 MB, some
150 MB once set up); Settings downloads and removes them. Without them,
or should cutting on the device fail, lines go to the instance as
before. MeCab's, IPADIC's and Ve's licences join the licence list.
Every build now needs a C++ compiler; mecab_for_dart holds code_assets
at 1.x.

A profile now has a page on the web, at the root of the account domain
(https://halkyon.eu/@raisondetredev where the operator set ACCOUNT_DOMAIN,
else on the instance's web server), so the address belongs to the
identity rather than to Learn and stays when other services share it
(ADR 0011). The page shows what the app's profile sheet shows, in English
or German, without JavaScript or cookies, asks search engines not to list
it, marks every link rel="me" so other sites can verify links to it, and
sends a visitor who asked on another host to its own address. Caddy
forwards /@… to the web server, and serves nothing else on the account
domain; compose now passes ACCOUNT_DOMAIN on, which it never did.
A link is verified as Mastodon verifies one: its page links back to the
profile's with rel="me". profile.checkLinks fetches each link's page, at
most ten times an hour, over HTTPS on port 443 and to public addresses
only, connecting to the address it checked and verifying the certificate
for the host, with three redirects, 1 MiB and ten seconds at most, and
keeps what links back on the profile (verifiedLinks, a column of a table
no device syncs). A changed link loses its check, a new handle all of
them. The app shows the page's address to copy, checks a link saved by
itself and on Check links, and marks verified links in the form and in
others' profiles; a check answered after a newer save only adds its
checks.

An instance may now run services beside itself, each a compose file of
its own switched on in deploy/.env (COMPOSE_FILE=compose.yaml:compose.
jellyfin.yaml), so the deploy runs them with the instance. The first is
Jellyfin, which people watch and listen to learn from: the instance then
suggests it (JELLYFIN_URL from JELLYFIN_DOMAIN), and Caddy serves its
site, refusing every change to a user from outside, so a passwordless
demo account stays everyone's; its admin signs in through an SSH tunnel.
The instance's compose gets a second network, `edge`, for Caddy (at a
fixed address, which sidecars trust as their proxy) and the server;
Postgres stays on the internal one. Caddy loses its needless way to
Postgres, and a sidecar never gains one. A sidecar publishes no port,
as the CI runner may reach 127.0.0.1, and runs as a user ID of its own.
Caddy imports the sidecars' sites from sidecars/, mounted by their
compose files (none without), and redeploy.sh recreates it when one
changes. sidecars/README.md has the steps.

Files called the servers by their own host names, which are the
operator's and say nothing a reader needs. They now say which domain a
server serves: learn.halkyon.eu's server (the instance and its CI
runner), the halkyon.app server (Forgejo and the F-Droid repository).
Two names are settings rather than words. CI's runner label becomes
`instance` (`runs-on: instance`, `labels: ["instance:host"]`): the
runner reads its installed copy of deploy/runner/config.yml, so jobs
wait in the queue until that copy is updated and the runner restarted.
The SSH aliases the scripts and docs use become `learn-deploy` and
`fdroid-upload`. AGENTS.md says to keep it so.

A Claude plan can't drive a chat inside another app, but Claude's apps
(every plan, the phone apps too) can add a remote MCP server as a custom
connector. The instance now is one (ADR 0006): Serverpod's web server
serves the MCP endpoint (/mcp, Streamable HTTP, JSON answers, no
sessions) with five read-only tools over the person's own synced rows
(their studysets, a studyset's cards and notes a page at a time, a
search across cards, a note, their progress), and the OAuth the
specification asks for: protected resource and authorization server
metadata, dynamic client registration, authorization code with PKCE
(S256 only), tokens bound to the resource, iss in the response, refresh
tokens that rotate. Caddy forwards these paths alone to the web server,
which production now runs on 8082.
People connect with a code from the app (Settings › Assistant › Connect
Claude): eight Crockford characters, valid for ten minutes and once,
typed on the authorization page, which names where it returns to, loads
nothing from elsewhere and may not be framed. Anonymous people can
connect too. Codes and tokens are kept only as SHA-256 hashes; an access
token lives an hour, a refresh token 30 days. The app lists what is
connected and disconnects it, which ends its tokens at once; deleting
the account deletes it; a daily job forgets what expired and clients
nobody connected within a week. InstanceInfo says where the connector is
(additive); the migration only adds server-only tables, so devices and
older apps are untouched.
The handlers take plain requests, so the integration tests drive the
whole flow (registration, the code, tokens, refresh, the tools, another
person's content, disconnecting, expiry, pruning, account deletion)
without a web server.

Caddy, the Serverpod server and PostgreSQL 16 in deploy/. Only Caddy publishes ports; the server and Postgres are reachable only inside the Compose network (Docker bypasses ufw, and the server listens on every interface). Secrets come from deploy/.env as environment variables; there is no production passwords.yaml, and .dockerignore keeps local secrets out of the build context.
The server image builds on Serverpod's template with an Ubuntu 24.04 runtime: complete glibc incl. libgcc_s for the SQLite libraries Serverpod 4 bundles, CA certificates, a non-root user, and exec so SIGTERM reaches the server. The scaffold's dev-only docker-compose.yaml is removed.
Verified locally: image builds, all native libraries resolve, no passwords.yaml in the image, migrations apply at start, Caddy serves 200, port 8080 unreachable from the host, Postgres in UTC.
