tajniak81andClaude Opus 5.5 fc49f56339 Phase 7: E2EE support
Implements PLAN.md Phase 7: the server half of end-to-end encryption.
Devices upload identity, one-time and fallback keys; other devices query
and claim them, across servers too, and every one-time key is handed out
exactly once. Cross-signing, signature uploads, device list tracking and
server-side key backup complete the set.

internal/keyserver is the component. Keys are stored in canonical JSON
so that re-uploading the same key is a byte comparison, and signatures
uploaded later are kept apart from the key they sign and merged in on
read, so a key's own JSON stays what its owner uploaded. Device keys must
be for the caller's own device; cross-signing keys must be the
uploader's, carry the right usage and, for self- and user-signing keys,
be signed by the master key. Signatures are verified against the key as
stored. Replacing a master key asks for the password; a first upload or
an upload of the keys already stored does not, as the spec allows. A
signature of another user's master key is shown only to the user who
made it and never federated.

Every write that changes what /keys/query answers moves the device list
stream in the same transaction, one position per device, and wakes the
syncs of everyone sharing a room. The stream is the sixth field of a sync
token; older tokens still parse. The syncapi works out device_lists
changed and left from the stream and from membership moves in the
window, skipping invites and knocks, and reports
device_one_time_keys_count and device_unused_fallback_key_types, the
latter as [] when empty. GET /keys/changes uses the same logic.

Over federation: /user/keys/query, /user/keys/claim and
/user/devices/{userId}, and m.device_list_update and m.signing_key_update
both ways. Remote keys are not cached; an update about a remote user
sharing a room moves them in the stream so local clients re-query.
Device display names are not sent to other servers. With federation off,
remote users are reported in failures at once.

Deleting a device deletes its keys, through a new userapi
DeviceObserver. Key backup keeps the better copy of each session by the
spec's rule, never reuses a deleted version's number, and answers writes
to a stale version with M_WRONG_ROOM_KEYS_VERSION.

Storage is migration 0008 for sqlite and postgres, with a PocketBase
stub. The Complement target sets gain the key, device list, fallback,
cross-signing and backup tests.

Implements PLAN.md Phase 5: the Server-Server API. Warp joins rooms on
other servers and lets their users join its rooms, invites across servers
with the invitee's server countersigning, rejects remote invites (locally
if the inviter is unreachable), and exchanges events, typing, receipts and
to-device messages with other homeservers — all behind the runtime switch,
which now starts and stops real outbound traffic.

The protocol lives in internal/federation with no knowledge of rooms:
X-Matrix signing (fuzzed parser), the spec's discovery algorithm keeping
the dial address and the TLS name apart, a signed client that refuses
every request while the switch is off or the policy denies the
destination, and a key ring that caches other servers' keys for at most a
week, with optional notaries.

The roomserver takes events from elsewhere through the spec's intake:
signatures and hashes (a hash mismatch keeps the redacted form), the rules
against the event's own auth events, against the state before it — with
/get_missing_events for small gaps and /state_ids for wide ones — and
against the current state, where a failure is a soft failure. Events held
without their state are outliers: a column on roomserver_events, because
the current state of a room joined over federation is almost all
outliers, and excluded from every timeline query. Forks are resolved at
the room's head. Membership across servers is make_join/send_join,
make_leave/send_leave and countersigned invites, in both directions;
m.room.server_acl is enforced on everything another server sends.
History before a remote join is backfilled when /messages pages past it,
stored at negative stream positions.

internal/federationapi is the running component: the inbound endpoints,
and an outbound queue that persists what it owes each destination, sends
it in transactions of 50 PDUs and 100 EDUs, backs off from ten seconds to
six hours, survives restarts, and drops events persisted while federation
is off rather than delivering a backlog in one burst. Its Module is what
the switch starts and stops.

Also: a TLS listener for port 8448, trusted key servers, key validity and
an outbound CA bundle in the config; per-destination health and backoff
reset in the admin API; remote profiles, aliases and directories in the
Client-Server API; a Complement federation profile. See
docs/federation.md, including its known gaps (no partial-state joins, no
key rotation).
