last_seen means "this user did something recently". The backfill walks every
historical record in the network, so stamping it there recorded when the
backfill ran, not when the user was active — for every user at once, on every
run. That destroys the only signal the column carries, and it is the one column
in users that nothing upstream can rebuild.
It is now written on the two paths that represent real activity: an interactive
login, and a live commit event on the firehose, which does mean the user just
wrote a record. The backfill still corrects handle, PDS endpoint and avatar,
which is why it re-resolves rather than trusting a cache; it just no longer
claims the user was present.
UpsertUser grows an options form rather than a fourth named variant, since the
avatar and last_seen decisions are independent and all four combinations occur.
Anyone computing MAU from this column should know it was unreliable for every
backfill run before this change.
Also corrects docs/HORIZONTAL_SCALING.md, which claimed oci_client and
registry_domain were local-only preferences. They are fields on
io.atcr.sailor.profile: settings writes them to the user's PDS and
ProcessSailorProfile refreshes the local cache. users is fully derived apart
from last_seen.

Neither is a correctness problem; both are round trips on hot paths for
timestamps nothing reads at that resolution.
UpdateUserLastSeen ran per Jetstream event for cached users, so once per indexed
record. DeviceStore.UpdateLastUsed ran per /auth/token call, so once per docker
push and pull including each layer's re-auth. Cheap against a local file, a
network round trip each against a remote primary, and the second sat on the
authentication path.
Both are now throttled to once per five minutes per subject. The MAU queries and
the admin views work in hours or days, so nothing loses meaning. The throttle
state is per-process and lost on restart, costing at most one extra write per
subject per boot; only the lease holder runs the consumer, so exactly one process
is doing the first of these at a time.
UpdateLastUsed stamps the throttle before writing rather than after, so a slow or
failing write cannot let every concurrent layer upload through to pile on more of
them.
Verified by disabling the throttle: 50 back-to-back calls then rewrite the
timestamp every time.

Design for moving push bandwidth off the appview and onto the hold,
mirroring the pull path's 307 redirect. Proposal only, not implemented.

- diff view gains a Packages tab with added/removed/changed/unchanged
package tables and purl-derived type/license/upstream links
- captain records verified against the DID's atcr_hold service before
caching (processor + batch backfill), preventing forged holds
- fix empty-handle updates clobbering cached handles and colliding on
the UNIQUE constraint
- move fillPrevCIDs into repo.go; DirectRepoOperator is now canonical,
repomgr kept as a test oracle
- surface read-only crew status in hold selector
- reconcile docs
did:plc Identity Support (pkg/hold/pds/did.go, pkg/hold/config.go, pkg/hold/server.go)
The big feature — holds can now use did:plc identities instead of only did:web. This adds:
- LoadOrCreateDID() — resolves hold DID by priority: config DID > did.txt on disk > create new
- CreatePLCIdentity() — builds a genesis operation, signs with rotation key, submits to PLC directory
- EnsurePLCCurrent() — on boot, compares local signing key + URL against PLC directory and auto-updates if they've drifted (requires rotation key)
- New config fields: did_method (web/plc), did, plc_directory_url, rotation_key_path
- GenerateDIDDocument() now uses the stored DID instead of always deriving did:web from URL
- NewHoldServer wired up to call LoadOrCreateDID instead of GenerateDIDFromURL
CAR Export/Import (pkg/hold/pds/export.go, pkg/hold/pds/import.go, cmd/hold/repo.go)
New CLI subcommands for repo backup/restore:
- atcr-hold repo export — streams the hold's repo as a CAR file to stdout
- atcr-hold repo import <file>... — reads CAR files, upserts all records in a single atomic commit. Uses a bulkImportRecords method that opens a delta session, checks each record for
create vs update, commits once, and fires repo events.
- openHoldPDS() helper to spin up a HoldPDS from config for offline CLI operations
Admin UI Fixes (pkg/hold/admin/)
- Logout changed from GET to POST — nav template now uses a <form method=POST> instead of an <a> link (prevents CSRF on logout)
- Removed return_to parameter from login flow — simplified redirect logic, auth middleware now redirects to /admin/auth/login without query params
Config/Deploy
- config-hold.example.yaml and deploy/upcloud/configs/hold.yaml.tmpl updated with the four new did:plc config fields
- go.mod / go.sum — added github.com/did-method-plc/go-didplc dependency
1. Removing distribution/distribution from the Hold Service (biggest change)
The hold service previously used distribution's StorageDriver interface for all blob operations. This replaces it with direct AWS SDK v2 calls through ATCR's own pkg/s3.S3Service:
- New S3Service methods: Stat(), PutBytes(), Move(), Delete(), WalkBlobs(), ListPrefix() added to pkg/s3/types.go
- Pull zone fix: Presigned URLs are now generated against the real S3 endpoint, then the host is swapped to the CDN URL post-signing (previously the CDN URL was set as the endpoint, which
broke SigV4 signatures)
- All hold subsystems migrated: GC, OCI uploads, XRPC handlers, profile uploads, scan broadcaster, manifest posts — all now use *s3.S3Service instead of storagedriver.StorageDriver
- Config simplified: Removed configuration.Storage type and buildStorageConfigFromFields(); replaced with a simple S3Params() method
- Mock expanded: MockS3Client gains an in-memory object store + 5 new methods, replacing duplicate mockStorageDriver implementations in tests (~160 lines deleted from each test file)
2. Vulnerability Scan UI in AppView (new feature)
Displays scan results from the hold's PDS on the repository page:
- New lexicon: io/atcr/hold/scan.json with vulnReportBlob field for storing full Grype reports
- Two new HTMX endpoints: /api/scan-result (badge) and /api/vuln-details (modal with CVE table)
- New templates: vuln-badge.html (severity count chips) and vuln-details.html (full CVE table with NVD/GHSA links)
- Repository page: Lazy-loads scan badges per manifest via HTMX
- Tests: ~590 lines of test coverage for both handlers
3. S3 Diagnostic Tool
New cmd/s3-test/main.go (418 lines) — tests S3 connectivity with both SDK v1 and v2, including presigned URL generation, pull zone host swapping, and verbose signing debug output.
4. Deployment Tooling
- New syncServiceUnit() for comparing/updating systemd units on servers
- Update command now syncs config keys (adds missing keys from template) and service units with daemon-reload
5. DB Migration
0011_fix_captain_successor_column.yaml — rebuilds hold_captain_records to add the successor column that was missed in a previous migration.
6. Documentation
- APPVIEW-UI-FUTURE.md rewritten as a status-tracked feature inventory
- DISTRIBUTION.md renamed to CREDENTIAL_HELPER.md
- New REMOVING_DISTRIBUTION.md — 480-line analysis of fully removing distribution from the appview side
7. go.mod
aws-sdk-go v1 moved from indirect to direct (needed by cmd/s3-test).
