- POST /api/fenjaops/invites on server.js (requireAuth+requireAdmin). Ignores any is_admin field in the body — always stores 0. Records the acting admin's email in invited_by so the audit trail shows who added whom (CLI adds still record "cli"). - admin/index.html: new "Invite a new user" form panel at the top (email + optional first name). - admin/admin.js: wires the form submit to the POST, shows inline success/error, refreshes the tables on success. - admin/admin.css: form styling matching the existing paper/ink palette; mobile stacks. - Docs: CLAUDE.md, PROJECT.md, OPERATIONS.md, CHECKLIST.md, README.md all updated. New non-negotiable property in PROJECT.md: no web endpoint can set is_admin=1 or delete an invite — promotion + removal stay on bin/invite.js. New CHECKLIST.md section H2 covers the page's gating, the invite form, and an escalation-path audit. Admin promotion and invite deletion remain CLI-only so a compromised admin session cannot escalate or evict. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# project-bifrost
|
|
|
|
Invite-only Fenja AI entrance and archive. Node/Express + SQLite, behind
|
|
Nginx on a VPS. Auth is email-only against an invite list (no SMTP, no
|
|
one-time codes).
|
|
|
|
## Local development (Windows / VS Code)
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# 1. Install deps
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
# 2. Configure
|
|
copy .env.example .env
|
|
# .env is minimal — PORT, PUBLIC_ORIGIN, NODE_ENV only. Leave
|
|
# NODE_ENV=development locally so cookies work over HTTP.
|
|
|
|
# 3. Invite yourself
|
|
node bin/invite.js add your@email.com
|
|
|
|
# 4. Run
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
# → http://127.0.0.1:3000
|
|
|
|
# 5. Walk the flow:
|
|
# a) Open http://127.0.0.1:3000
|
|
# b) Enter your invited email → session cookie issued, welcome step renders
|
|
# c) Click "Learn more" → lands on /timeline (the authed home page)
|
|
# d) Hit http://127.0.0.1:3000/timeline directly in a private window:
|
|
# should redirect to / (proves gating works)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploying to the VPS
|
|
|
|
This assumes:
|
|
- VPS with Nginx already running and TLS for `project-bifrost.fenja.ai`
|
|
- Node 20+ installed
|
|
- A `fenja` system user owns `/opt/fenja`
|
|
|
|
### First-time setup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# On the VPS
|
|
sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin fenja
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/fenja
|
|
sudo chown -R fenja:fenja /opt/fenja
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pushing code from Windows
|
|
|
|
From the project root, sync with rsync (via WSL) or scp/WinSCP:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Example rsync (requires WSL or rsync on Windows)
|
|
rsync -avz --delete `
|
|
--exclude node_modules --exclude data --exclude .env --exclude .git `
|
|
./ user@vps:/opt/fenja/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then on the VPS:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /opt/fenja
|
|
sudo -u fenja npm ci --omit=dev
|
|
sudo chmod 750 /opt/fenja/protected
|
|
sudo chmod 750 /opt/fenja/data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create `/etc/fenja/env` (kept out of `/opt/fenja/` so it can't be rsynced over). The file is minimal — see `.env.example` for the three values (`PORT`, `PUBLIC_ORIGIN`, `NODE_ENV=production`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nano /etc/fenja/env
|
|
sudo chown root:fenja /etc/fenja/env
|
|
sudo chmod 640 /etc/fenja/env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the systemd unit and Nginx config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cp deploy/fenja.service /etc/systemd/system/fenja.service
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now fenja
|
|
sudo systemctl status fenja # should be "active (running)"
|
|
|
|
sudo cp deploy/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/project-bifrost
|
|
sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/project-bifrost \
|
|
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/project-bifrost
|
|
# Also ensure the rate-limit zone is declared — see deploy/nginx.conf for the one-liner
|
|
sudo nginx -t
|
|
sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Verifying from outside
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -I https://project-bifrost.fenja.ai/
|
|
# 200 + HTML (the entrance)
|
|
|
|
curl -I https://project-bifrost.fenja.ai/timeline
|
|
# 302 → / (gate holds without a session cookie)
|
|
|
|
curl -I https://project-bifrost.fenja.ai/protected/index.html
|
|
# 404 (this URL literally does not exist)
|
|
|
|
curl -i -X POST https://project-bifrost.fenja.ai/auth/login \
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
|
-d '{"email":"nobody@example.com"}'
|
|
# 403 + {"error":"not_invited"} (invite-list-only; enumeration is acceptable by design)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Managing invites on the server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js add someone@example.com
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js list
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js remove someone@example.com
|
|
|
|
# Admin flag (gates the hidden /fenjaops page). Grant/revoke is CLI-only.
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js admin add someone@example.com
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js admin remove someone@example.com
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/invite.js admin list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Admins can also add *non-admin* invites from the hidden `/fenjaops` page (see OPERATIONS.md). Admin promotion and invite removal stay on the CLI by design — see PROJECT.md §Non-negotiable properties.
|
|
|
|
### Reading Join-CTA clicks
|
|
|
|
Every press of the final "Join Project Bifrost" CTA is logged to the `bifrost_joins` table. Read it with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/joins.js list # every click, newest first
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/joins.js summary # one row per user, with counts
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/joins.js for someone@example.com
|
|
sudo -u fenja node /opt/fenja/bin/joins.js stats # totals + unique users
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Backups
|
|
|
|
Add a cron job:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# /etc/cron.d/fenja-backup
|
|
0 3 * * * fenja sqlite3 /opt/fenja/data/fenja.sqlite ".backup /opt/fenja/data/backup-$(date +\%F).sqlite"
|
|
0 4 * * * fenja find /opt/fenja/data -name 'backup-*.sqlite' -mtime +14 -delete
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`.backup` is safe on a live SQLite DB. `cp` is not.
|
|

## Security model at a glance
|
|
|
|
- **Static HTML is never served from a public directory for gated pages.** Node checks the session cookie *before* reading the file off disk. No cookie → 302 → / (the file bytes never leave the server).
|
|
- **The session cookie is `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Lax`.** JavaScript on the page cannot read or steal it. `Secure` is conditional on `NODE_ENV=production`.
|
|
- **Sessions are opaque 256-bit random IDs** stored in SQLite. Revoking is a DELETE.
|
|
- **Auth is invite-list-only.** `POST /auth/login` with an email on the list issues a session; an email not on the list returns `403 {error:"not_invited"}`. There are no one-time codes, no pepper, no SMTP — the invite list *is* the auth factor. Enumeration is acceptable by design (preview content).
|
|
- **Rate limit**: 30 login attempts per IP per hour.
|
|
- **Node binds to `127.0.0.1` only.** Nginx is the single ingress; there is no public Node port.
|
|
- **Strict CSP** blocks inline scripts and foreign origins from the gated pages.
