The refresher fetches every feed a snapshot names, and anyone with a
write token sends snapshots; a listed feed's redirect goes wherever its
publisher likes. Nothing checked the destination, so the directory
fetched loopback, its Docker network and the LAN, and what answered
became a listing's title and description on its public pages.
Its client now has ipx-feed's guard (#320) with nothing allowed: no
feed the directory lists is on this network.

/, /all, /search and /category are anyone's to ask for (#215), and each
called Store::list: the whole catalogue, joined with the snapshots and
grouped, on the 10-connection pool the refresher and every server's
/v1 calls share, on the Postgres that holds production ipx's database.
The pages' Cache-Control did nothing for a request with a query string
of its own, such as /search?q=<random>.
Directory::pages_list keeps the list for a minute behind a mutex held
through the read, so a burst of misses waits on one query rather than
each sending its own. Filtering and rendering still happen per request,
in memory. /v1/feeds, behind a token, still reads the database.

feed::fetch already sent basic auth only to the feed's own host, but
two paths around it did not:
- download::download attached the feed's username and password to
every enclosure, on whatever host the feed named: a CDN, or the
measurement and ad-insertion prefixes podcasts route through (#328).
- subscriptions() and promote_kept() gave every feed an OPML or Patreon
list derives the list's credentials, and fetch's same-host check then
compared against the derived feed's own URL, so the list's password
went to every host the OPML named, on every scan (#327).
config::Feed::auth_for and credentials_for compare hosts once, and
each of the three uses them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
promote_kept copied the list's settings from the current config, but
leave, rm and the directory cleanup remove the list from config before
calling retire_group, so the lookup found nothing: the promoted show
got private = false and no username or password, and the next snapshot
sent its URL to the directory. Only sync_group, which promotes while
the list is still there, kept them.
The callers now pass the list's settings as they were before removal.
Where they are no longer known (retire_stranded, for a list removed
long ago), the promoted show is private: a URL kept back by mistake
can be shared by hand, one shared by mistake cannot be taken back.

A database with no accounts created admin with the hard-coded password
ipodderx, published in the README, the docs and the sample compose
file, and the log line announcing it printed the password. /api/login
is open to anyone who reaches the port, and nothing made anyone change
it, so a fresh install was an admin account anyone could sign into.
Now the password is IPX_ADMIN_PASSWORD when set, for scripted installs,
or 24 random hex characters written to admin-password beside
config.toml, created 0600 so it is never readable by others even for a
moment. The log says where it is, never what it is, as it does for the
web token (#40). Existing databases are untouched: seeding runs only
with no accounts at all.

ipx's clients had no destination policy and followed redirects
anywhere. Adding a feed returned the status or first line of whatever
answered at the address; an enclosure declared as audio was downloaded
whole from any URL and served back through /media; /api/art fetched
any image a feed named. Feeds come from publishers and anyone signed
in, so loopback, the Docker network and the LAN were all reachable.
ipx-feed's guard is a connector layer: after the name resolves and the
connection opens, before the request is written, it looks at the
peer's address and refuses anything off the public internet unless
config.toml's [general] fetch_internal lists it. Being on the
connection, it covers every request on ctx.client and feed_client,
each redirect hop, IP literals (which never reach a DNS resolver) and
a name that resolves differently the second time. reqwest's rustls
connection reports the peer address; a test run by hand checks HTTPS
gets through, since were it lost every https fetch would be refused.
The directory is on the server's own network by design
(http://ipx-directory:8100), so it moves to local_client, unguarded,
set by an admin. The browser suite and load tests serve their feeds on
loopback and list 127.0.0.1.
Not covered: librqbit's own connections (trackers, peers), which do
not go through these clients.

Handed an http(s) URL, librqbit 9.0.1 fetched the .torrent with its own
reqwest client (no timeout) and response.bytes(), buffering the whole
body: a publisher could serve one without end, for up to the 30-minute
metadata budget, two torrents at a time, on a host with no swap.
Now ipx fetches it on ctx.client (connect and read timeouts), stops past
10 MB, holds it to the stall budget too so a trickle cannot keep a slot,
and gives librqbit the bytes. Magnet links go to librqbit as before.
Not fixed here: librqbit reads each HTTP tracker announce the same way,
and offers no setting to bound it short of disable_trackers, which would
break torrents that need their tracker. #330 stays open for that.

The opml crate's Outline reader (hard-xml's derive) recurses once per
<outline> level with no limit. A 2 MB upload holds tens of thousands of
levels, enough to overflow a tokio worker's 2 MiB stack, and a stack
overflow aborts the process, not the task. A fetched OPML (up to 50 MB)
reached the same parse on every scan, so a publisher could keep the
daemon in a crash loop.
feed::read_opml counts nesting with quick-xml's streaming reader, which
does not recurse, and refuses past 100 before handing the text to the
opml crate. Every place that parsed OPML goes through it: the upload,
`ipx opml`, a fetched OPML's feeds and its title. The limit also bounds
collect_outlines' recursion and the drop of the nested Vec.

An item's link and an enclosure's URL are the publisher's, stored as
written, and the page put them in href and window.open through esc(),
which escapes characters, not schemes: a javascript: or data: link
survived as Open the original, View in a new tab (for a file not on
disk), the Directory's item links and the v key. Show notes already
lose those schemes to ammonia; these four sinks were the exception.
webUrl() passes http(s) only, and each sink goes through it. A link
that fails it shows no link, as an item with none does.

/media served a downloaded file with ServeFile, which types it by its
extension, and the file and its name are the publisher's. An enclosure
saved as .svg or .html, which download::sniff lets through unless it
starts <html or <!doctype html, opened from "View in a new tab" ran its
script on iPX's origin with the viewer's session.
Now every /media response is nosniff, anything but audio, video, a
non-SVG image, a PDF or plain text is sent as an attachment, and all
but PDFs get the sandbox CSP artwork already had. PDFs go without it
because Chrome refuses to render one in a sandboxed document; its
viewer does not run the PDF's script as the page.

The recorded path was output_folder.join(handle.name()). The name is the
publisher's: librqbit checks it for traversal only when it chooses the
subfolder itself, and ipx passes output_folder, so a multi-file torrent
named "/config" or ".." pointed Delete, the reaper and /media at that
path. With output_folder set, librqbit also puts a multi-file torrent's
files straight into it, not under the name, so the joined path was not
where the files were even for an honest torrent.
Each enclosure now gets torrent-<id> inside its feed's folder, and that
folder is the path: playable() already picks the largest file under a
folder and remove() deletes one (#158). The same folder keeps
overwrite: true from replacing another enclosure's files of the same
name. A torrent half-downloaded before this restarts in its new folder.

A week of traces folded with query.py flame left whole requests opaque:
entries_in at 46-82 ms a request with the page's query and its enclosures
together, /api/art 37 ms, /api/status 95 ms, PATCH /api/feeds/{id} 72 ms and
DELETE 45 ms. Each now has a step around what it waits on: the page and its
enclosures; the artwork cache, the check that a feed names it, the fetch and the
write; the status counts; and in changing or leaving a feed, each database call,
the wait for the catalogue's lock and storing it.

`query.py flame '<TraceQL>' [since] [out.svg]` folds the matching spans of up to
100 traces into stacks of self time and draws them as a flame graph, with the
folded stacks beside it for speedscope or inferno. A wall-clock picture of where
a route's time goes, waiting included, which a CPU profiler would not show: ipx
waits on Postgres and the disk far more than it computes. The traces are fetched
in one container, a docker run apiece being a second each.

pelgranepress.com is on WordPress.com, whose CDN answers /feed/, /feed/atom/ and ?feed=rss2
with HTTP 403 and "Checking your browser...", a JavaScript challenge, whatever the User-Agent.
The checks that hit it failed for hours (8 in the day before this), and the publisher has
not changed anything.
The API at public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/<host>/posts has the same posts with no check,
and each post's guid is the feed's own (https://host/?p=<id>), so the items read from it are
the ones already stored. fetch recognises the challenge by its /__challenge/ script, asks the
API instead, and parse reads WordPress's posts JSON as a feed. It sends no title or image for
the feed, which record_feed keeps as they were.
shortcut: the API's default ten posts, as many as WordPress puts in a feed.

The header was drawn once, on opening the feed. feed_row put the new row in S.feeds and redrew the
feed list but not the open page, so a check that cleared an error left the error showing, with the
old "checked" time, until the feed was opened again. Seen on Eli Bendersky's website: a connect
timeout at 15:13, a clean forced check at 15:28, and the timeout still on the page.
Only the stat line and the error banner are redrawn: the whole page would close the open item.

Fixes from the UI-polish review of the main window (2026-10-19).
Reduced motion took every animation away, and a turning icon was the only sign a check was
running. The refresh buttons now carry aria-busy and a "Checking for new items" label while
checking, and under reduced motion spinners pulse and toasts and sheets fade.
Every :hover rule is behind @media (hover:hover), since Safari keeps :hover on the last thing
tapped; the two phone resets that undid it for .btn and .ep had nothing left to do and are gone.
An item row's actions still show on hover without the query, so a tablet with no pointer can
reach them by tapping the row.

Found reviewing the main window, its dialogs and the Directory in all 25 palettes (13 themes,
light and dark), in Playwright against the test daemon.
- #298: an item's title is a button, so Tab and a screen reader can open it; the feed list's
rows, places, Signals and the Directory's shows are links to a screen reader (asLink), named
by what they show, the open one aria-current. Not role=button, which would flatten a folder's
triangle inside it.
- #299: .ep:focus-within shows the row's actions; Tab reached Play and Delete at opacity 0.
- #300: the read toggle is named Mark read / Mark unread, the dot hidden from screen readers.
- #301: the seek slider is named Position, its value read as "12:30 of 45:00".
- #302: ::placeholder in --faint; the browser's grey was 2.7-4.4:1 in 20 palettes. The search
and filter boxes have names that do not depend on their placeholder.
- #303: #toasts is role=status; an error toast stays until dismissed, at most four at once.
- #304: api() says what to do when iPX cannot be reached or answers 500 (whose text is the
daemon's internals, already in its log); play() failures are put in words and reported, an
AbortError ignored; a failed download names its item.
- #305, #308: --field, the theme's --fg mixed into --bg in OKLab (--fieldmix, 60% and up to 80%
for Catppuccin light), edges text boxes, selects, chips, the OPML box and switch tracks,
phones included, and rings a light theme's switch knob. tests/contrast.js holds it to 3:1 on
bg, panel, panel2 and raise in every palette. --line stays for rules. Fields lose outline:0,
so they take the same focus ring as everything else.
- #306: openModal makes the card role=dialog aria-modal, labelled by its heading, focuses it,
and makes the rest of the body inert until closeModal, which gives focus back to what opened
it. Not <dialog>: its top layer would cover the toasts and their Dismiss.
- #307: the labels in Add a feed, Settings, Download latest and OPML point at their boxes.
- #309: Settings shows iPX's and the page's versions at its foot.

hide_from_signals on a subscription, on an OPML or creator covering every
show in it, as hide_from_all does for All Subscriptions: the judge does
not put its items to Jev, and each Signal's list and counts leave them

The settings dialog had grown one captioned setting at a time into a

Rendered Markdown is the one wanted beside the publisher's HTML. A browser

A feed that sends <source:markdown> beside its HTML (Scripting News) has its
Markdown kept in entries.markdown, added to existing databases by an ALTER.
A stored item gets it when a scan finds it told differently, the Markdown
counting as a change, the way corrections arrive (#141). The API sends it as
written and made HTML, cleaned by ammonia like the description.
The item's page has a choice between its meta line and its buttons: HTML,
Markdown or Markdown source, remembered in the browser.

/api/art asked whether a feed or item names the image before anything else,
cache hits included, and entries.image had no index: a sequential scan of
entries, 571 ms on production, 50 at once for a page of images. A kept image
is served first now, since it was only kept once let through, and entries.image
has an index: hash on Postgres, whose btree refuses keys over about 2.7 KB.
The Directory lists podcasts nobody here subscribes to, and their artwork was
refused, so the page drew initials. ipx remembers the images the directory's
listings and pages carry and lets those through too; any other address is
still refused, so /api/art cannot be used to fetch arbitrary URLs.

A description with Markdown and no HTML tag is rendered to HTML with
pulldown-cmark, and an item with no text but RSS's <source:markdown>
(https://source.scripting.com/, as Scripting News sends beside its HTML) uses
that. HTML is left alone, and plain text without Markdown in it stays as it
was, so a line like "1984. ..." is not made a list. ammonia cleans the result
as any feed's HTML. Stored items keep what they have: the scanner does not
rewrite an item it has.

GET /api/feeds/{id}/entries for an OPML or a Patreon creator now lists the
items of the shows in it the person subscribes to, as All Subscriptions does
every feed's. The shows are looked up first and queried by list: an OR with a
subquery, or an IN over one, made a single feed's page a sequential scan of
entries (clarkesworld 10 ms to 26 ms or a second, EXPLAIN on production), so a
single feed keeps its `feed_id = $1`.
The page draws the OPML with its own header and the item list, tabs, search

A show's scan or change refreshes its OPML's list.
