1. Multiple registry domains + per-user domain preference
The biggest feature. The appview can serve several registry domains (e.g. buoy.cr, atcr.io),
and users can now pick which one shows up in their pull/push commands.
- Lexicon/record: adds registryDomain (and documents ociClient)
to the sailor profile (lexicons/.../profile.json, pkg/atproto/lexicon.go).
- DB: new registry_domain column on users (schema.sql + migration 0027),
with GetUserByDID/Handle reads, UpdateUserRegistryDomain writer,
and Jetstream caching it on profile updates (writes unconditionally so clearing propagates).
- UI/handlers: new UpdateRegistryDomainHandler + /api/profile/registry-domain route,
a <select> in the user settings panel (only shown when >1 domain configured), and resolveRegistryURL()
which falls back to the primary domain if the user's pref is stale/removed. Tests added for all of it.
2. default_hold_did removed → first managed_holds entry is the default
Consolidates two overlapping config fields into one. ServerConfig.DefaultHoldDID is gone;
PrimaryHoldDID() now returns managed_holds[0]. managed_holds is now REQUIRED.
Updated in config, validation, server wiring, test harness, example YAML, and the deploy template.
3. Admin long-running operations → generic background-job framework
New pkg/hold/admin/jobs.go introduces a reusable startJob/jobRegistry pattern
(a detached context.Background() job + a /admin/api/jobs/{key}/status polling endpoint).
This replaces the bespoke scan-backfill goroutine state machine, and now also wraps crew tier remap and crew import
all three previously looped synchronously on the request context and got 504'd/cancelled mid-run by the reverse proxy.
Forms switched from POST-redirect to htmx fragments (job_progress.html, job_result.html, crew_import_results.html)
the old crew_import_results.html page and scan_backfill_progress.html partial were deleted.
This is also captured as a new rule in CLAUDE.md.
4. Cascade-delete manifest on last-tag deletion
DeleteTagHandler now, after removing the last tag pointing to a digest, cascade-deletes the manifest itself
(PDS + DB + hold blob purge) — but only if it's not a child of a manifest list (multi-arch parent).
New GetTagDigest and ShouldCascadeDeleteManifest queries back it, plus cascade_delete_test.go.
Also switches tag rkey computation to the atproto.RepositoryTagToRKey helper.
5. Billing simplification
Drops the OwnerBadge config option (hold-owner supporter badge).
The user-profile template no longer special-cases an "owner" badge value (only "Captain").
Example tiers renamed to the nautical scheme (deckhand/bosun/quartermaster).
6. Build/deploy: go generate always runs via Make
make generate is now a phony target that always runs go generate ./... (regenerating cbor_gen, icon sprites, etc.),
and build-trixie depends on it. The deploy tooling (provision.go/update.go)
drops its own runGenerate calls since the Makefile handles it.
7. New cmd/firehose-tap tool (untracked)
A standalone CLI that subscribes to a com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos endpoint and pretty-prints events,
with emphasis on Sync 1.1 compliance fields (per-op prev CIDs, commit prevData) and a --validate CI mode.
Fits with the recent "more sync1.1 compliant" commit.
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
