- add /pw (alias /password): reveal this room's password locally (never
broadcast); surfaced in the F1 help overlay and the join hint
- direnv-autostart/: cd-to-launch a single real-user session via direnv;
password is minted in memory at launch (never written to disk, matching the
RAM-only model) and scoped to the child process. setup.sh installs direnv,
hooks bash/zsh, and `direnv allow`s the dir
- lets-hack.sh: boot a FRESH server by default (replacing any live one) with a
--reuse opt-out; add -h/--help/-help; guard against killing the tmux session
you're attached to; switch-client into the coven when run inside tmux
- rename coven→clergy across rust/python/scripts; tests/test_coven.py→test_clergy.py
- snapshots in-progress hack-house client work (sandbox, themes, net, ui)

Begin the coven evolution of cmd-chat (see docs/spec-collaborative-sandbox.md):
a Rust/ratatui client for the unchanged Python Sanic server, plus the
multi-user + zero-knowledge groundwork.
P0 — crypto parity (the spec's #1 risk), proven three ways:
- Hand-rolled SRP-6a (NG_2048, SHA-256, rfc5054 padding) matching pysrp
byte-for-byte, incl. the fixed b"chat" SRP identity and minimal-vs-256B
width quirks. Golden-vector unit test + offline selftest.
- Live handshake against the running server (H_AMK verified).
- Cross-language E2E: Python client decrypts a Rust-encrypted Fernet message.
P2 — multi-user coven (server):
- CMD_CHAT_MAX_USERS capacity cap (default 4, infra-for-more).
- Authoritative roster + user_joined broadcasts.
- Free the slot/username on ws disconnect (was held until 1h stale sweep).
Also: fix requirements.txt (was UTF-16, unparseable by pip).
coven/ : Rust crate (crypto.rs proven; main.rs spike CLI: selftest/handshake/srpm)
docs/ : full feature spec for the 6 requested features.

CRITICAL fixes:
- Auto-generated self-signed TLS certs (HTTPS/WSS by default)
- Removed session_key from /srp/verify response (was sent in plaintext)
- Replaced with HMAC-SHA256 ws_token for WebSocket authentication
HIGH fixes:
- WebSocket auth now validates ws_token via hmac.compare_digest()
- /clear endpoint requires Bearer admin_token (printed at server start)
- Password no longer required as CLI arg — supports env var + getpass prompt
- Removed user_ip from Message model (no longer broadcast to clients)
MEDIUM fixes:
- Rate limiter on /srp/init and /srp/verify (10 req/min/IP)
- MessageStore capped at 1000 messages (prevents RAM DoS)
- access_log disabled (was leaking request metadata)
LOW fixes:
- Username sanitization against rich markup injection
- Dead code removed from helpers.py
All 79 tests passing.

Fix abstract renderer signatures and add small stubs so type checkers can
see expected attributes (e.g. username, _decrypt). This removes several
mypy false-positives that were caused by mixin/ABC mismatches.
Preserve message text containing ':' by using split(':', 1) in both
DefaultClientRenderer and RichClientRenderer.
Normalize renderer APIs: print_chat(...) now takes the response mapping
and returns None (matches runtime behavior).
Make RSA symmetric-key request more robust: read r.content instead of a
fixed-size r.raw.read(999), avoiding truncated key material.
Improve _connect_ws exception handling in client to ensure a valid
Exception is re-raised if connection attempts fail.
Correct server/service typing: memory_msgs is now typed as
list[Message] and we null-check incoming payload text before creating a
new Message.
Replace manual package list in setup.py with setuptools.find_packages()
so packaging uses valid Python package names.
Installed types-requests in the project venv so mypy no longer flags the
requests import.
Verification: ran python -m compileall and mypy cmd_chat — no issues
remain.
Notes:
Wire format still uses Python literal evaluation in some places (existing
behavior); switching to JSON for client/server payloads is recommended as a
follow-up for robustness and security.
