4.1.0's HTTP RPC for browsers capped at inline payloads (≤ 256 KiB).
4.2.0 unlocks streams: server queues outbound chunks + control
envelopes per peer, browser long-polls the queue. Browser-to-server
writes ride the existing /v1/transfer/<id>/chunk POST routes
unchanged.
For Dispatch this unlocks mod-jar uploads (50 MB) and world-backup
downloads (100+ MB) — the actual reason browser-side @shade/files
matters.
### New API
@shade/sdk:
- shade.transferQueueRoute(opts?) — Hono app with /queue +
/v1/transfer/* routes. Auto-configures the queue transport.
- shade.configureTransfers extended: transport + envelopeTransport
override slots; resolveBaseUrl optional when both supplied.
@shade/transfer:
- OutboundQueue — per-peer monotonic event log with long-poll
semantics, idle-eviction GC, ring-buffered to maxEventsPerPeer.
- QueueTransferTransport — enqueues instead of POSTing.
@shade/files:
- httpClient({ outboundQueueUrl, transferBaseUrl }) — when set,
starts a long-poll drainer + builds a streams-bridge. fs.read /
fs.write of >256 KiB work end-to-end.
- startQueueDrainer(shade, opts) — exported helper for advanced
consumers driving their own drainer.
### Implementation notes
- ClientStreamsBridge's TransformStream had HWM=0 by default which
stalled the drainer's await chain at chunk 4 (writer.write pended
before the consumer's reader was attached). Bumped to HWM=64 so
the receive loop can buffer ahead of the consumer.
### Tests
3 new integration tests in tests/integration/http-rpc-streams.test.ts:
4 MiB streamed read round-trip, inline-only error path, idle-timeout
long-poll behaviour.
Wire-compatible. Source-compatible. Lockstep bump to 4.2.0.

@shade/recovery
Social key recovery for Shade — V3.10.
Shamir Secret Sharing over GF(2^8) splits the user's identity backup
key into n shares; any threshold-many k together reconstruct the
identity onto a new device. Distribution and reconstruction ride
existing 1:1 Shade sessions — no centralized recovery agent.
Install
bun add @shade/recovery
Quick wire-up
import {
setupRecovery,
attachGuardian,
requestRecovery,
MemoryRecoveryStore,
} from '@shade/recovery';
// Primary (Alice's existing device)
await setupRecovery({
shade,
guardians: ['bob', 'carol', 'dan', 'eve', 'faythe'],
threshold: 3,
deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});
// Each guardian
attachGuardian({
shade,
store: new MemoryRecoveryStore(), // swap for persistent store in prod
approve: async (ctx) => askUser(ctx),
deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});
// New device (Alice on a fresh phone)
await requestRecovery({
shade: tempShade,
originalAddress: 'alice',
setupId: '<from recovery card>',
threshold: 3,
guardians: ['bob', 'carol', 'dan', 'eve', 'faythe'],
deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});
