Daniel Salazar b784b51cf3 fix: harden the events stack for flag-on (#3752)
* fix: harden events dispatch, single delivery and KV share handles

Dispatch: a filtered subscription used the anchor path stored at subscribe
time, so renaming or moving the anchor folder silently ended its deliveries;
dispatch now resolves the anchor's live path from the event's own ancestor
chain. A move out of a watched folder now reaches that folder's subscribers,
with `from` only for rows that watched the source side. Gap markers are
authorized like deliveries and coalesced per subscription and subject instead
of fanning per lost event. Session subscriptions: the per-socket cap decides
on the write, not before it; an orphaned watched-set token heals on refresh;
durable rows keep their watch window when a session subscribe touches the
same keys. `self` is false when the acting user is unknown.

Single delivery: a subscription in backoff or suspended with a backlog pinned
the sweeper's head and starved everyone behind it — the sweep now defers it.
Only a settled handler run bills a delivery. A socket-only account row no
longer wedges after two attempts nobody received. The lease is twice the
handler timeout; remote candidates have their own attempt counter; the region
depth reconcile runs once a minute region-wide with a bounded scan.

KV share handles: a grantee no longer sees the owner's namespace and absolute
prefix on the subscribe answer or listing, nor in the delivery token; revoking
a wider handle retires the handles it covers; minting the same handle twice
returns the existing one, after the delegation check; a row whose event
cannot be re-based onto its handle is dropped rather than delivered raw.

* fix: presence survives replication, long sessions and region churn

One presence item per (user, app) with per-region map fields lost a region
whenever two regions joined inside the replication window, and nothing ever
put it back. Presence is now one item per (user, app, region): each region
writes only its own, a leave or repair retires it conditionally on its own
write stamp, and a read is a prefix query. Items carry a 48 h ttl refreshed by
a claim-gated write off the existing socket renew path, at most once per
12 h, so a tab that stays connected keeps its region in the row. A region
that answered "no socket" or completed a leave releases a shared pin, so a
reconnect on another node rejoins and a flapping client cannot force a
replicated write per cycle. Cached rows expire after a minute; unaddressable
region names are filtered and pruned; relayed acks settle under a bounded
concurrency; the forward queue is bounded in bytes as well as items.

* feat: indexes for the event_subscriptions hot queries

Handler publish, remove and listing, and the hourly expiry and suspension
sweeps, all scanned `event_subscriptions`. Adds (app_uid, handler_name),
(expires_at) and (suspended_at, id), guarded on every engine. Existing
migrations: the postgres widens are now guarded so a boot does not take an
exclusive lock for a no-op, the kv_share_handles grantee FK gets an index,
the sqlite notification rebuild is transactional and idempotent.

* fix: notification writes go through the registry

The driver's `create` bypassed the type registry, producing uncatalogued
rows with no size bound; it now requires a registered type, caps the payload,
and answers 400 rather than 500 for a bad one. `mark_acknowledged` emits the
ack other tabs listen for, and only when a row was actually changed.

* fix: the handler scanner, unsubscribe, and the in-tab handler environment

The free-variable scanner skipped arrows inside a declaration's initializer,
so `const ids = event.items.map(x => x.id)` was refused, and treated a name
after a comma in a nested initializer as bound, so a real free variable slipped
through to fail on first delivery. `unsubscribe()` now drops the durable
routing entry so the events socket can close. A broadcast handler running in
the tab gets `user` and `fetch` like the worker gives it. `single` without
a handler name is refused before the round trip.

* docs: events limits, error codes and the background-workers section

Retention is deployment-configured rather than a fixed 14 days, and the
template no longer ships it armed. Documents `events_terminal`, the two
per-event gap reasons, the subject length and listing caps, the `from` field
on moves, and the handle-relative anchor. The sessions manager hides the
background-workers section when the server has none to show.

* feat: a background handler acts as the app does for its user

A handler's `user` was a five-minute access token scoped to the subscription's
`list` grant, which could stat the changed file but not read it, and could
not reach the app's KV or AppData — so an app told that a file was written
could do nothing with it. It now runs with the same authority the app has for
that user in a tab: an app-under-user worker session, one row per (user, app)
named `events:handlers`, visible and revocable in the sessions list. The
`events:background` consent is what authorizes running it unattended, and is
re-checked before every mint.

The wider token exposed two things: puter.js opens a filesystem socket the
moment it has a token, which would have parked the isolate in the app's own
delivery room and steered deliveries at it; the events client now opts out of
sockets (and the per-open bookkeeping) before construction, and is memoized
per token in the isolate. And four filesystem operations assumed a socket
exists; they no longer do.

Puter.js gives you auth, cloud storage, database, AI, and more through a single JavaScript library. It is the go-to backend for AI-generated apps.

There is nothing to configure, no API keys, no infrastructure to set up, whether you write the code yourself or have your AI tool do it. Tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Lovable, and Replit can generate complete, production-ready apps in a single shot with fewer AI tokens.


Installation

NPM:

npm install @heyputer/puter.js

CDN:

Include Puter.js directly in your HTML via CDN in the <head> section:

<script src="https://js.puter.com/v2/"></script>

Usage

Browser

ES Modules

import {puter} from '@heyputer/puter.js';
// or
import puter from '@heyputer/puter.js';
// or 
import '@heyputer/puter.js'; // puter will be available globally

CommonJS

const {puter} = require('@heyputer/puter.js');
// or
const puter = require('@heyputer/puter.js');
// or
require('@heyputer/puter.js'); // puter will be available globally

Node.js (with Auth Token)

const {init} = require("@heyputer/puter.js/src/init.cjs"); // NODE JS ONLY
// or
import {init} from "@heyputer/puter.js/src/init.cjs";

const puter = init(process.env.puterAuthToken); // uses your auth token
const puter2 = init(process.env.puterAuthToken2); // use some other auth token

Node.js (with Auth Token + Web Login)

const {init, getAuthToken} = require("@heyputer/puter.js/src/init.cjs");
// or
import {init, getAuthToken} from "@heyputer/puter.js/src/init.cjs";

const authToken = await getAuthToken(); // performs browser based auth and retrieves token (requires browser)
const puter = init(authToken); // uses your auth token

Usage Example

After importing, you can use the global puter object:

// Print a message
puter.print('Hello from Puter.js!');

// Chat with GPT-5 nano
puter.ai.chat('What color was Napoleon\'s white horse?').then(response => {
  puter.print(response);
});

Starter Templates

You can also use one of the following templates:


Setting Custom Origins

By default puter.js uses the official Puter API and GUI origins. You can customize these origins by setting global variables before importing the SDK like so:

// For API origin
globalThis.PUTER_API_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-api.puter.com';
// For GUI origin
globalThis.PUTER_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-gui.puter.com';

import {puter} from '@heyputer/puter.js'; // or however you import it for your env
