A 6 GB upload kept a customer waiting long after its progress bar
reached 100%. The server wrote every upload three times: PHP's
temporary file, Livewire's copy of it ("Processing files...") and the
encrypted file ("Create Share Link"), each a full rewrite of a slow
disk. The unencrypted copy also stayed behind in livewire-tmp.
Now the uploader's browser encrypts each file in 16 MB chunks with
WebCrypto and PUTs them one at a time; the server checks each chunk in
memory and writes it once, already encrypted. Creating the share only
wraps its key and saves the options. A 200 MB upload through the
Docker image took 2.8 s, and its download matched byte for byte.
- SEALCHK2: a 19-byte header (chunk size, 7-byte nonce prefix), then
ciphertext and tag per chunk. Each nonce holds the chunk index and a
last-chunk flag (the STREAM construction), so cut or reordered files
fail to decrypt. SEALCHK1 and the single-block format still read.
- Envelope encryption: one random key per share. With a password it is
wrapped with Argon2id (sodium, libsodium's interactive limits) in
shares.wrapped_key, which names its parameters. Password shares from
before keep their PBKDF2-derived key.
- The upload page registers each selection with FileUploader into a
pending share of its own, lists the files with their progress, retries
a failed chunk after 1-16 s, then offers Retry; Remove and Cancel
abort. UploadChunkController only accepts chunks from the session that
started the share: a repeat is acknowledged, a skip gets 409 with the
count stored. Chunks go out as Blobs, which Chromium sends about eight
times faster than ArrayBuffers.
- Uploads need a secure context: over plain HTTP the page says HTTPS is
needed and takes no files. The Docker image gains AUTO_HTTPS, which
serves Let's Encrypt on 443 for SERVER_NAME and redirects 80; without
it the container stays on HTTP 80 behind a proxy. docker/Caddyfile was
never loaded and is gone; docker/healthcheck.sh covers both modes.
- "Download all" streams the ZIP with maennchen/zipstream-php (STORE,
ZIP64) instead of decrypting whole files into memory and writing the
archive unencrypted to /tmp.
- Pending shares count towards the quota, stay out of the admin
dashboard and 404 everywhere else. shares:cleanup deletes uploads idle
for 4 hours and Livewire temporary files older than that.
- PHP's upload limits no longer cap the admin's max file size and
default to 64M; LIVEWIRE_MAX_UPLOAD_TIME is gone and
UPLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE_MB is new.
- Tests cover the format, key wrapping, registration limits, the chunk
endpoint's answers, completing a share, the streamed ZIP, cleanup,
and in Chromium a real chunked upload and the HTTPS warning; the
selected-files overflow test runs again. README, website, CHANGELOG
and .ai/rules follow.

The workflows live in .gitea/workflows. The Docker workflow logs in to
the Gitea container registry with REGISTRY_TOKEN (Gitea's job token cannot
publish packages yet), publishes gitea.nonameweb.ch/nonameweb/sealshare
with a registry build cache, and makes the release on Gitea with the
version's section of the changelog as its notes.
The README, the website's quick start, both compose files and the image
label point to Gitea; the changelog announces the new image name and
links Gitea. GiteaOnlyTest keeps GitHub and ghcr.io out.

Livewire's temporary upload rule was hard-coded to max:4194304 (4 GB),
so /livewire/upload-file rejected any larger file no matter how high
PHP_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE or the admin's max file size were set.
_uploadErrored() then replaced Livewire's actual message with "file
exceeds the maximum size of N MB", quoting the admin limit the file was
under.
The cap is removed: PHP's upload_max_filesize is the hard limit and the
admin setting is still enforced in updatedFiles() and createShare(). A
rejected upload now logs the real validation errors and tells the user
the server could not accept the file.
max_upload_time is configurable via LIVEWIRE_MAX_UPLOAD_TIME, and the
README documents every limit large uploads depend on.

- Add php zip extension to Dockerfile (required by ZipArchive)
- Remove bootstrap/cache/*.php during build to prevent stale
dev-only service providers (e.g. BoostServiceProvider) from loading
- Default DB_DATABASE to /app/database/database.sqlite in
docker-compose.yml so env() fallback works correctly
