Part of splitting ipx into a directory service, a backend and a frontend (see the tracking issue).

Admin of the directory is done from ipx, not the directory. When the token in an ipx server's settings is rwa (from GET /v1/me), its admins see:

  • a Remove from directory action on a Directory feed's page, which removes and blocks it (DELETE /v1/feeds/{id});
  • a Blocked list in the admin page, with Unblock;
  • a way to drop one instance's snapshot and to refresh a feed now.

The ipx handlers check user.is_admin (403 otherwise), and the directory checks the token's access in turn.

New UI: mockups on this issue for approval before it merges.

Part of splitting ipx into a directory service, a backend and a frontend (see the tracking issue). Admin of the directory is done from ipx, not the directory. When the token in an ipx server's settings is `rwa` (from `GET /v1/me`), its admins see: * a **Remove from directory** action on a Directory feed's page, which removes and blocks it (`DELETE /v1/feeds/{id}`); * a **Blocked** list in the admin page, with Unblock; * a way to drop one instance's snapshot and to refresh a feed now. The ipx handlers check `user.is_admin` (403 otherwise), and the directory checks the token's access in turn. New UI: mockups on this issue for approval before it merges.

Built on the branch directory-admin (2cb45e6), not merged or deployed: new UI for approval. All suites pass (Rust 117 + 11 + 30 on Postgres, Playwright 74 with a new test for this).

A Directory feed's page, for an admin whose directory token is rwa: two buttons after Subscribe, Check now and Remove from the directory (asks first; blocks it so no snapshot brings it back). Anyone else sees only Subscribe, and the API refuses them (403).

Admin, Directory, under the settings, again only with an rwa token: Servers (each sharing server by its token's name, feeds and subscribers, with Drop) and Blocked (by title, never the address, since a feed is often blocked for a key in it; with Unblock).

Notes:

  • The directory gained GET /v1/instances (rwa) for the Servers list. It keeps no time per snapshot, so the list shows no "last shared".
  • Unblocking, or dropping a snapshot, makes this server send its snapshot again at once; since #211 an unchanged one would wait half an hour, and the unblocked feed with it.
  • An admin's own subscriptions open as their feeds, not as Directory pages, so the buttons show on feeds the admin does not subscribe to. A feed of their own is kept out by marking it private.
  • Found while taking these: on a phone the Subscribe button there was squashed to 18px (#212), fixed and deployed separately.

On approval I merge, deploy ipx and ipx-directory, and close this and #207.
