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.

Uploaders no longer have to make up a share password. With "Password
protect" on, the upload page has Generate and Copy under the field, and
the page the upload leads to offers the password once more beside the
link: masked, with the same copy button at the end of the field as the
link's. The password also derives the share's encryption key and only
its hash is stored, so a lost one means files nobody can open.
- PasswordGeneratorService draws from Random\Randomizer's secure engine.
Characters are drawn uniformly and redrawn until every chosen set
appears; passphrases come from EFF's large word list (CC BY 3.0 US,
credited in the README), without its four hyphenated words.
- Admin settings gain a "Share Passwords" card: mode (off, on request,
prefilled as protection is switched on), kind (characters: length
12–64, the sets, look-alikes left out; passphrase: 4–10 words and a
separator), and an example with its estimated entropy that follows the
form before saving. Fields the chosen mode or kind hides are excluded
from validation and keep their saved value. The default is on
request, 20 letters and numbers without look-alikes.
- FileUploader flashes the password encrypted with the share's token;
ShareCreated shows it only when the token matches, so a reload or any
other visitor sees nothing. Crypt covers installs without
SESSION_ENCRYPT, which the Docker setup does not set.
- The symbol set leaves out what chat apps turn into formatting and
what breaks inside quotes, so a pasted password arrives unchanged.
- app.css imports group.css for <x-group>; .ai/rules/views.md records
that <x-group> drops data-test and other attributes.
- Tests cover the generator, the admin card's saving, validation and
example, prefill and generate on the upload page, the flash, and in
Chromium Generate and Copy on the upload page and the masked copy on
the share page. The admin settings page now has six headed sections.

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.

The `uploading` flag was only cleared by `x-init="uploading = false"` on the
file list, which Alpine runs when the element is initialized. Adding a second
batch of files to the same share only patches that existing element, so the
flag stayed true forever: the spinner never went away, the drop zone stayed
disabled and the submit button stayed disabled, making the share impossible
to create.
`updatedFiles()` now dispatches `files-processed`, which runs for every batch,
and the form resets its upload state on that event instead.
Also fixes two adjacent bugs in the drag & drop path: `uploadMultiple()` was
called without callbacks so dropped files showed no progress at all, and
`relativePaths` was replaced instead of appended, shifting every earlier
file's path onto the wrong file on a second drop.

The Laravel 13 upgrade pulled Pint 1.27.1 to 1.29.3, which changed the
laravel preset's default rules. composer lint and the CI lint job fail
without this, so it is required rather than cosmetic.
Formatting only, applied by `vendor/bin/pint`. The rules that fired were
fully_qualified_strict_types, ordered_imports, single_blank_line_at_eof,
unary_operator_spaces, not_operator_with_successor_space, braces_position,
single_line_empty_body, single_line_after_imports and no_extra_blank_lines.
Kept separate from the upgrade commit to keep that diff reviewable.
