Adds two interactive admin tools to the matrix-server-config node so
device verification and session management can be done from the editor
without building a flow. Both open as modal dialogs and are backed by
new flows.write-protected admin endpoints.
Pending verifications
- New "Pending verification requests" button opens a modal listing
incoming and in-progress verification requests, refreshed every 5
seconds.
- Each entry shows the type (device or room), who it is from, a live
age, and a live expiry countdown; the list is capped at the newest 20
with a hidden-count note.
- Clicking an entry drives the SAS flow (accept, start, show emoji,
confirm/cancel) within the modal.
- New /matrix-chat/verification endpoint with list, advance, confirm,
mismatch, and cancel actions.
- trackVerificationRequest now records a seen-at timestamp and keeps
finished requests for two minutes so their outcome can still be
reported to the editor.
Sessions
- New "Manage sessions" button opens a modal listing the account's
sessions, modelled on Element's session manager: the current session
with a verified / not-verified status box, then other sessions, each
with a green or red shield, last activity, and IP address.
- Clicking a session shows its details (session ID, last activity, IP),
a Rename action, and a password-confirmed Remove. Unverified sessions
offer a Verify action that hands off into the verification modal.
- New /matrix-chat/sessions endpoint with list, rename, remove, and
verify actions.
Upgrades matrix-js-sdk from 34.13.0 to 41.5.0. This crosses the v37
removal of the legacy libolm crypto stack, so E2EE is migrated to the
Rust crypto implementation. Also adds device verification, cross-signing
setup, and authenticated media support.
Dependencies
- Bump matrix-js-sdk ^34.13.0 -> ^41.5.0; require Node.js >= 22.
- Drop the `olm` dependency (legacy crypto only); add `fake-indexeddb`.
Rust crypto
- Replace initCrypto() with initRustCrypto(); the legacy crypto stack
was removed upstream in v37.
- Add src/matrix-crypto-store.js: the Rust crypto store requires
IndexedDB, absent in Node.js, so it is backed by fake-indexeddb and
snapshotted to disk (rust-crypto-store.v8) to survive restarts.
- Migrate existing libolm crypto state into the Rust store on first run,
and discard the stored crypto state when the device ID changes.
Homeserver discovery
- Resolve the homeserver via .well-known, so a delegating domain
(e.g. example.org) works as the configured server URL.
Cross-signing & secure backup
- Add a secured /matrix-chat/secure-backup admin endpoint and a modal
dialog on the server config node: check status, unlock an existing
secure backup with its recovery key, or reset and create a new one.
Device verification (new nodes)
- matrix-verification: event source emitting verification requests and
phase changes, with on-node filters (phase, initiated by, type,
self-verification, user allowlist, room).
- matrix-verification-action: request, accept, start SAS, confirm,
mismatch, or cancel an in-flight verification.
Authenticated media
- matrix-receive and matrix-crypt-file use the authenticated media
endpoints, send a bearer token via msg.headers, and fall back between
the v3 and v1 media endpoints on a 404.
Fixes
- Surface connection/auth errors in the log; node.error() calls were
passed an empty msg object, which routed the error and suppressed
console logging.
- matrix-get-user: await getProfileInfo()/getPresence().
- matrix-invite-room: pass the reason as the third invite() argument
(the removed callback parameter was shifting it out).
- Guard the verification handlers so a throwing SDK getter cannot crash
Node-RED.
Docs
- Add the device-verification example flow; update the READMEs and node
help, correcting stale claims that device verification, secure backup,
and encrypted file uploads were unsupported.
- Added examples for every node
- Fixed User Settings node requiring a roomId when it's not needed
- Fixed the documentation for Upload File node
- Get User node had unused config code that has been removed
- Add new node `Get Event` that will give you room data for a corresponding roomId and eventId #117
- Add new node `Fetch Event Relations` that can paginate through events related to another event #119
- README updates
