2026-04-21 00:20:36 +00:00 | 545 commits to main since this releaseFlip transitively-discovered federation peers to Trusted instead of
Observer. Hints are already only ingested from peers we trust and only
peers we trust are re-exported via build_local_state, so the chain of
trust is already vetted end-to-end — making the user promote each
newcomer by hand was friction with no security win.Backend:
- federation/sync.rs: merge_transitive_peers now inserts TrustLevel::Trusted
(doc comment updated to explain the transitive-trust rationale) - update.rs: info! log at download start (version, components, total_bytes,
staging path), cancel (staging wiped?, marker cleared?), and apply (backup
path) so journalctl reveals where a stuck update actually is
Frontend:
- SystemUpdate What's New block gets a v1.7.18-alpha entry
