M-Files-1..6 land the full files-RPC layer + everything 0.3.0 needs to
ship. Apps keep their own UI; this layer ships the typed RPC, the
streams bridge for content I/O, and production hooks (rate limit,
retention, fingerprint gate, metrics).
@shade/files (NEW)
- Standard ops: list/stat/mkdir/delete/move/read/write/getThumbnail with
Zod-validated wire schemas + clean user-handler types.
- Custom ops: typed via TypeScript declaration merging on CustomOpsMap
+ per-op Zod schemas; client.custom('app.foo', {...}) is fully typed.
- Content I/O: inline (≤ 256 KiB plaintext) base64-in-RPC; streams
(> 256 KiB) ride @shade/transfer via userMetadata.shadeFilesWriteId
/ shadeFilesReadStreamId correlation. Server-side TransformStream
bridges accept inbound transfers immediately (engine rejects chunks
that arrive before accept) and park the readable for the matching
RPC.
- Directory ops: walk(path, opts) async-iterable depth-first walker;
uploadDirectory()/downloadDirectory() with bounded concurrency pool
(default 4, cap 16), aggregated progress, abort.
- Production hooks (callback-based, vendor-neutral): rate-limit (op +
byte), idempotency cache (LRU + TTL + in-flight de-dupe), path
policy (traversal + percent-decode hardening), fingerprint gate
(required/optional/reject), pluggable Ed25519 sig verification with
±5 min replay window, onMetric sink (standard names).
- React hooks (subpath @shade/files/react): ShadeFilesProvider,
useShadeFiles, useFileList, useFileTransfer/Upload/Download.
- Shade.files.serve(handler) + Shade.files.client(peer) high-level
entrypoint in @shade/sdk; lazy + memoized; one handler per Shade.
Wire format bump
- @shade/proto wire VERSION 0x01 → 0x02. Length prefixes changed from
u16 to u32. The previous u16 silently truncated payloads above
64 KiB — a hard correctness ceiling that blocked inline file ops
up to 256 KiB. Wire-incompatible with 0.2.x peers; new sessions
only. Cross-platform Kotlin port (android/shade-android) updated to
match; test-vectors/wire-format.json regenerated.
Concurrency safety
- ShadeSessionManager.encrypt/.decrypt now run under per-peer mutex.
Concurrent decryptions of the same peer raced ratchet state
(manifested as sporadic "Failed to decrypt — wrong key or tampered
data" under load — surfaced once concurrent uploadDirectory pumped
many writes in flight). Encrypt was already serialized via
Shade.send's encryptChains; decrypt is now serialized at the
manager layer too.
@shade/streams extension
- StreamMetadata.userMetadata?: Record<string, string> for
application-level key/value pairs that round-trip verbatim through
stream-init plaintext. Used by @shade/files for write/read
correlation; available to any consumer.
@shade/sdk extension
- Shade.files getter (lazy + memoized).
- BackgroundHooks.onPruneFiles + periodic timer (default 5 min) +
BackgroundTasks.setHook(name, fn) for runtime hook registration.
Bundles in-flight 0.2.0 work
- packages/shade-streams/, packages/shade-transfer/, related
shade-sdk streams-bridge + shade-widgets transfer hooks were
uncommitted prior to this session. Including them keeps the
workspace consistent at 0.3.0 since @shade/files depends on them.
Tests
- 74 new tests in @shade/files (572 → 646 workspace pass; 0 fail;
3× stable). Coverage spans unit (inline-threshold + concurrency),
integration (read-write inline + streams up to 1 MiB, walk +
upload/download directory, custom-op, metrics, SDK namespace
end-to-end), and security (tampered-envelope sig verification,
replay window, fingerprint gate, rate-limit + quota).
Release artifacts
- All packages bumped to 0.3.0 via scripts/bump-version.ts.
- scripts/publish-all.ts PACKAGES updated with shade-files in
topological order (after shade-transfer, before shade-sdk).
- bun run publish:dry clean (14 packed, 0 failed).
- examples/08-files-browser/ — three-process CLI demo (prekey + Bob
server + Alice CLI) covering list/stat/mkdir/delete/upload/download.
- docs/files.md — full API + design doc.
- CHANGELOG.md 0.3.0 entry.

Phase D complete. Shade is now at parity with Signal libsignal's core
feature set.
M-Adv 1: Multi-device support (simplified Sesame)
- DeviceListManager tracks per-user device lists ("user:deviceId" addresses)
- fanOutEncrypt() sends one message to all known devices via independent
1:1 Double Ratchet sessions
- observeIncoming() auto-registers new devices from received messages
- JSON serialization for persistence
- userOfDevice/deviceIdOf address parsers
M-Adv 2: Backup and restore
- @shade/sdk exports BackupBlob format: version + salt + nonce + ciphertext
- Passphrase-derived key via HKDF (note: upgrade path to Argon2id documented)
- exportBackup()/importBackup() handle identity, prekeys, sessions, trust
- backupToString/backupFromString for single-string transport (copy/paste, QR)
- shade.exportBackup()/importBackup() convenience methods on SDK
- CLI: shade backup export <file> / shade backup restore <file>
- Rebuilds manager + transport after restore so ratchet state is consistent
M-Adv 3: Group messaging (Sender Keys)
- Per-sender chain key + Ed25519 signing key per group
- createSenderKey / buildDistribution / installDistribution for key distribution
- senderKeyEncrypt advances chain and signs ciphertext+header
- senderKeyDecrypt verifies signature then advances the sender's chain
- Out-of-order handling with bounded skip
- O(1) per message (once distributions are installed)
- Defensive ByteArray copies in distribution to prevent zeroize-across-refs
276 tests passing, 0 failures. All 13 SDK/tooling/platform/advanced
milestones complete. Shade is feature-complete for v2.0.

M-Obs 1: Event bus in @shade/core
- ShadeEventEmitter with typed event union, ring buffer for replay
- 12 event types covering session lifecycle, ratchet operations,
prekey changes, identity rotation, trust changes
- Wired into ShadeSessionManager (zero overhead when not enabled)
- shortHash helper for safe display of public keys
- Security test: regex-checks event payloads contain no key material
M-Obs 2: Prekey server event hooks
- PrekeyServerEvents emitter mirroring core's pattern
- 5 server event types: registered, fetched, replenished, deleted, rate_limited
- Wired into all routes including the rate-limit error handler
- shortHash helper using crypto.subtle directly (no provider dep)
M-Obs 3: @shade/observer package
- StateAggregator subscribes to client + server events, builds rolling snapshot
- Hono routes: GET /api/state (snapshot), GET /api/events (SSE stream)
- Bearer token auth via SHADE_OBSERVER_TOKEN, query string for SSE
- Refuses to start with token < 16 chars (ConfigurationError)
- Static file serving for bundled dashboard at /dashboard/
- Placeholder dashboard renders when no built SPA present
220 tests passing, 0 failures.

Shade sessions and keys now survive server crashes, container restarts,
and power outages via SQLite with WAL mode.
New packages:
- @shade/storage-sqlite: SQLiteStorage (StorageProvider) + SqlitePrekeyStore
(PrekeyStore), both using bun:sqlite with auto-created tables and WAL mode
- Serialization layer in shade-core for SessionState/keys ↔ JSON/base64
Docker usage: mount volume at /data, set SHADE_DB_PATH=/data/shade-client.db
Prekey server auto-detects SHADE_PREKEY_DB_PATH for SQLite persistence
Includes crash recovery integration test: encrypt → close DB → reopen →
conversation continues seamlessly.
129 tests, 0 failures.
