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/widgets
Embeddable React widgets for live Shade observability. Drop them into any React dashboard (Nova, Orchestrator, your own apps) to show what's happening in your Shade deployment.
Install
bun add @shade/widgets react react-dom
Quick start
import { ShadeProvider, IdentityCard, SessionList, RecentActivity } from '@shade/widgets';
function MyDashboard() {
return (
<ShadeProvider
observerUrl="https://shade.example.com/shade-observer"
token={process.env.SHADE_TOKEN!}
>
<IdentityCard />
<SessionList />
<RecentActivity />
</ShadeProvider>
);
}
You need a running @shade/observer endpoint for the widgets to talk to.
Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
<IdentityCard /> |
Your fingerprint, registration ID, init/rotation timestamps |
<SessionList /> |
Active Shade sessions with per-session message counts and DH ratchet steps |
<PrekeyStock lowThreshold={5} /> |
Gauge of remaining one-time prekeys with low-stock warning |
<RecentActivity limit={50} /> |
Live SSE feed of events flowing through the system |
<ServerStatus /> |
Prekey server stats (registered identities, fetches, replenishes, rate limits) |
<FingerprintCompare /> |
Paste a safety number to verify it matches your identity |
<WidgetCatalog /> |
Meta-widget letting users pick which widgets to display |
Letting users pick widgets
<ShadeProvider observerUrl="..." token="...">
<WidgetCatalog
available={['identity', 'sessions', 'prekeys', 'activity', 'server']}
defaultLayout={['identity', 'sessions', 'activity']}
/>
</ShadeProvider>
User selections persist to localStorage. Pass onLayoutChange to override with your own persistence.
Theming
<ShadeProvider observerUrl="..." token="..." themeMode="auto">
Modes: dark (default), light, auto (matches prefers-color-scheme).
Each widget renders self-contained CSS via inline styles — no Tailwind, no external CSS file, no conflicts with your host app.
Hooks
For custom layouts, use the underlying hooks directly:
import { useShadeState, useShadeEvents } from '@shade/widgets';
function CustomWidget() {
const { state, loading } = useShadeState();
const { events, connected } = useShadeEvents();
// ... render whatever you want
}
Polling interval
Default poll for /api/state is 5 seconds. Override:
<ShadeProvider observerUrl="..." token="..." pollIntervalMs={2000}>
The SSE event stream updates instantly regardless of poll interval.
