Add missing `ai_session_unref` calls to prevent memory leaks.
- In `_ai_request_thread`, release session on error paths and
after successful processing.
- In `cmd_ai_start`, release reference after passing ownership
to the AI window.
Add an AI client module that integrates with OpenAI-compatible API
providers (OpenAI, Perplexity, and custom endpoints) to provide
AI-assisted chat within CProof. Users can start sessions with /ai start,
send prompts, receive responses in a dedicated AI window, switch between
providers and models, and manage API keys — all with tab-completion.
Providers are configured via /ai set commands with per-provider API keys,
endpoints, default models, and custom settings. Two default providers
(openai, perplexity) are seeded on first use. Provider state persists in
[ai/<name>] sections of the preferences keyfile with automatic migration
from the previous flat-key format.
The /ai command integrates into the existing command system with 8
subcommands covering provider management, session lifecycle, model
fetching, and conversation clearing. Autocomplete uses the standard
flat prefix-matching chain for reliable tab-completion at every nesting
level. A new ProfAiWin window type is added to the window system.
Architecture:
Async design: HTTP requests run on a background thread (pthread) to avoid blocking the ncurses UI loop; results are displayed on the main thread via direct function calls
Thread safety: AIProvider and AISession use atomic ref-counting and mutex-protected session state; the request thread snapshots all session data before making the HTTP call
Window validation: wins_ai_exists() prevents use-after-free when the user closes the AI window during an in-flight HTTP request (~60s)
Privacy: store:false is sent with every request to prevent providers from persisting conversations or using them for training
Response size limit: 10MB cap with immediate curl abort via CURL_WRITEFUNC_ERROR to prevent OOM
JSON parsing uses unified helpers for both chat responses and error
envelopes with consistent escape decoding. The response parser tries
Perplexity /v1/responses "text" field first, then falls back to OpenAI
"content". Error parsing extracts provider error.message from the
standard envelope format. Model parsing handles multiple API response
formats (OpenAI list, Perplexity, array) including edge cases.
Tests include 470+ lines of unit tests covering provider management,
session lifecycle, JSON parsing (multiple formats), autocomplete cycling,
and error handling, plus functional tests for /ai command dispatch.
A stub_ai.c module isolates unit tests from UI dependencies.
A flat-file alternative to the SQLite chatlog backend with runtime
switching, full migration tooling, integrity verification, and a
synthetic load harness. SQLite remains the default; both backends share
one dispatch layer (db_backend_t vtable) so callers don't change.
Storage layout
- Per-contact append-only `flatlog/<account>/<contact>/history.log`
under XDG_DATA_HOME, one line per message
- Single-line file header with embedded format-version marker
(FLATFILE_FORMAT_VERSION); reader warns on missing or mismatched
marker, writer and checker stay in sync via preprocessor
stringification
- Deterministic key=value metadata (`id`, `aid`, `corrects`, `to`,
`to_res`, `read`) plus escaped body \u2014 `\|`, `\]`, `\\`, `\n`, `\r`
literals prevent log injection
- Sparse byte-offset index (FF_INDEX_STEP=500) per contact for
O(log n) time-range lookups; rebuilt on inode / size / mtime
change, extended in-place when the file just grew
- Per-contact GHashTable caches for archive_id presence and
stanza_id \u2192 from_jid mapping (O(1) MAM dedup, O(1) LMC sender
validation)
Hardening
- Path-traversal protection: JID directory name normalisation
(`@` \u2192 `_at_`, slashes and `..` rejected at construction); every
per-contact path is anchored under the account's flatlog/
directory and validated before open
- Symlink-attack protection: every fopen / open uses O_NOFOLLOW; on
ELOOP the operation aborts with an error rather than following
- Filesystem permissions: log files created with mode 0600,
directories with mode 0700; both enforced at creation, verified
on each open and reported on drift by `/history verify`
- Atomic crash-safe export: write to a temp file via mkstemp (mode
0600, random suffix, no name collisions between concurrent
exports), fsync, then rename \u2014 partial state never replaces the
live file
- Concurrency: advisory flock(LOCK_EX) held for the duration of
every write, including append from live messages and full rewrite
from export, so two profanity processes can't interleave bytes
on the same log
- DoS / abuse guards:
* FF_MAX_LINE_LEN = 10 MB \u2014 lines longer than this are rejected
at read with a warning; the parser will not allocate
unbounded memory for a single record
* FF_MAX_LMC_DEPTH = 100 \u2014 `corrects:` chain walk stops at this
depth and emits a warning, preventing a malicious correction
cycle from spinning the apply pass
* FF_VERSION_SCAN_MAX = 16 \u2014 header version probe never reads
past 16 leading comment lines, even on garbage input
* Empty / inverted byte-range early-return in page-up read path
so a malformed time filter cannot cause an unbounded scan
* Zero-entry index guard so a file whose every line failed to
parse cannot cause a NULL deref on later page-up
- LMC sender validation: an incoming correction whose sender does
not match the original message's sender is rejected at write
time and surfaced via cons_show_error; a cycle in the apply pass
is broken via a visited-set
- jid_create_from_bare_and_resource treats NULL, empty string, and
the literal "(null)" as no resource and returns a bare jid;
similar normalisation for barejid eliminates the legacy
"user@host/(null)" artefact that leaked into stored fulljids
whenever g_strdup_printf("%s", NULL) ran inside create_fulljid
Commands
- `/history switch sqlite|flatfile` \u2014 runtime backend swap, closes
the old backend and opens the new one without reconnecting
- `/history export [<jid>]` \u2014 SQLite -> flat-file, merging with any
existing flatlog (dedup keyed on a SHA-256 hash mixing stanza_id,
timestamp, from_jid, body \u2014 robust against id reuse by older
clients)
- `/history import [<jid>]` \u2014 flat-file -> SQLite, same merge
semantics, runs inside a single SQLite transaction with rollback
on per-contact failure
- `/history verify [<jid>]` \u2014 integrity check; emits a structured
list of issues (ERROR / WARNING / INFO) per file:
* file-level: missing log, wrong permissions (\u2260 0600), UTF-8
BOM present, CRLF line endings, empty file
* line-level: invalid UTF-8 (with byte offset), embedded
control characters, unparsable lines, timestamps out of
order, duplicate `id:` and `aid:` (tracked separately so a
stanza/archive id collision isn't double-reported)
* cross-line: broken `corrects:` references whose target id is
not present in the file
- `/history backend` \u2014 show currently active backend
- Active backend indicator `[sqlite]` / `[flatfile]` in the status
bar next to the JID
- Roster-JID autocomplete for verify / export / import
- export and import open a SQLite handle on demand when the
flatfile backend is currently active, so migration works
regardless of which backend is live
Tests
- Unit: database_export (parser round-trip, escape/unescape, dedup
key stability, JID normalisation), database_stress (14 cases
exercising rapid writes, large messages, deep LMC chains, MAM
dedup, concurrent contacts)
- Functional: history persistence across reconnects, export /
import round-trip with content equality, MUC migration,
timestamp normalisation across timezones
- Bench harness P1\u2013P5 (synthetic load: bulk insert, time-range
read, page-up scroll, MAM ingest, mixed workload) and failure
modes F1\u2013F17 (page-up cursor and forward-iteration symmetry,
oversized lines, MAM dedup, LMC depth and cycles, BOM/CRLF,
missing log, empty file, mtime+inode flip, broken corrects, etc.)
- All bench tests integrate with the existing make targets and
emit CSV rows for baseline comparison

Implement /force-encryption command to configure forced encryption
settings with on|off and policy resend-to-confirm|block options.
The changes enhance user experience by clarifying encryption requirements
and providing actionable commands. Users can now press Enter again to
confirm unencrypted messages in resend-to-confirm mode.
The synchronous `get_message_from_editor` blocked the main loop (`prof_run`) while launching an external editor like `vim`, halting network I/O in `session_process_events` and preventing incoming message reception.
Introduced `get_message_from_editor_async` for `cmd_editor` to run the editor asynchronously. It forks and execs the editor in a thread (`editor_thread`), suspending NCurses to free the terminal. The main loop skips `inp_readline` and `ui_update` via a new `background_mode` flag while the editor runs, allowing `session_process_events` to keep the connection alive.
On editor completion, `editor_process` (called per loop iteration) resumes NCurses with `ui_resize`, inserts the result into the readline buffer and clears `background_mode`.
Retained synchronous `get_message_from_editor` for ~20 existing code paths (e.g., `vcard_nickname`) to avoid breaking them.
Tested with `vim` and `nano`: confirms no rendering conflicts, messages received during editing, and seamless resume. Edge cases like editor crashes handled via error logging and seamless resume.
Instead of c&p'ing the same code again and again, put everything in a
struct and loop over it.
This also fixes `vcard` not being in included in `all`.

Before this change issuing `/quit` directly called `exit(0)` and did not
invoke all the graceful shutdown routines. Now we first try to exit from
the event loop, which includes cleaning up everything.
In case the event loop is stuck for some reason, you could try to issue a
second `/quit`, which will then directly call `exit(0)`.

In the documentation of the `muc_nick` function we can read:
> The nickname is owned by the chat room and should not be modified or freed

`/url save $someurl` will now download to
`~/.local/share/profanity/downloads/from_jid/date/filename` instead of
`~/.local/share/profanity/downloads`.
Like this the downloaded files should be better ordered.
This will only happen for MUC and 1:1 chat windows.
Private windows might have only a nick or jid. Lets not distinguish
between those two ways. And since the nick option is unreliable to be
the same person lets just put them in the general downloads folder.
As is done with downloads from all other windows as well.
I also had the idea to make this configurable but this suits my needs
and time limits right now.
When a user added an account, set it as autoconnect and then removed
that account. It still was set as the autoconnect account.

/account add test

When users receive a message and a subscription request from a new
contact, and they use `/blocked report-abse JID` or `/blocked
report-spam JID` they most likely want the subscription request to
vanish as well.
According to mdosch Conversations is behaving like this too.
Fix: https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1970
## Summary
Partial fix for https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1939
> When doing the same in an unencrypted (no e2ee) chat there is no Downloading… message at all but the file is downloaded.
Download a file twice with `/url save`, the second download will not print download progress to the window.
The cause is `HTTPDownload`'s `silent` variable is not initialized; so, `silent` points to a second-hand stack memory address with old data. `silent` references data, so the `if` statement will fail in **src/tools/http_download.c:206** and download progress will not print to the window.
The fix is to initialize `silent` in both encrypted and unencrypted file download scenarios.
## Testing
Valgrind: Yes
- `/url save` without OMEMO
**SUCCESS**: Try three times with the same URL and download status will display every time.
- `/url save` with OMEMO
**SUCCESS**: Try three times with the same URL and download status will display every time.
- `/plugins install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/profanity-im/profanity-plugins/master/stable/sounds.py`
**SUCCESS**: Try once and download progress is hidden.
Use a singleton `Jid` inside the connection instead of always re-creating
a `Jid` from the same string.

`/redraw` command allows resolve problem for usual users,
as well as developers.
Incredibly useful when debugging with something that
can trash out the output, like GDB.
Not to mention many asynchronous commands that can break the UI
at any point.
On some commands execution (like `/privacy logging X`
where X is any symbol/group of symbols)
FALSE is being returned.
Which main cycle understands as a signal to exit profanity.
The mistake is common since returns are often used by
developers to communicate success status.
First reported by @doctor in the Profanity MUC,
as exit on `/logging group color` command.
`/executable vcard_photo test`
Printed
`Invalid usage, see '/help card_photo' for details.`
So it used the subcommand instead of the command and lost one of the
letters as well.
This mistake got introduced in 60c197487.
Where we added helper functions for the various `/executable` functions.
Discovered by @H3rnand3zzz with correct solution.
