1. The build took minutes → 404 during that window
2. Even after the build, the output lands in site/dist/ — nginx serves from /var/www/bincio/ which is only updated by the rsync in the post-receive hook, not by the server process
Fixes applied:
1. bincio/render/cli.py: Added --no-build flag — merges sidecars and updates manifests but skips astro build. This is fast (~1 second).
2. bincio/serve/server.py _trigger_rebuild: Now passes --no-build. After an upload, _merged/ and root index.json are updated immediately, so the feed reflects the new activity. The static Astro pages are
only rebuilt on git push.
3. site/src/components/ActivityDetailLoader.svelte (new): Svelte component that reads the activity ID from the URL, calls loadIndex to resolve the shard tree, then renders ActivityDetail dynamically — no
pre-built page needed.
4. site/src/pages/activity/index.astro (new): Generic Astro shell page that renders ActivityDetailLoader. Gets compiled to dist/activity/index.html.
5. docs/deployment/vps.md: Added location /activity/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /activity/index.html; } to the nginx config. When a request arrives for /activity/2026-04-06T153345Z/ and no pre-built file
exists, nginx serves the shell, which loads the data dynamically from /data/ (which nginx already serves live from disk).
2. Image MIME type whitelist — _ALLOWED_IMAGE_TYPES blocks SVG XSS in both servers
3. Filename collision safety — _unique_image_name() helper in both servers
4. OAuth CSRF — state token generated in edit/server.py auth-url, stored in _oauth_states, validated and discarded in callback; strava_api.auth_url() accepts optional state param
5. Error message leak — upload processing errors now return generic "Processing failed" instead of exception type/message
6. Handle injection in subprocess — _trigger_rebuild now asserts handle matches _VALID_HANDLE before passing to subprocess
After registration creates the user's directories, it now calls _write_root_manifest(dd). This rewrites index.json to include the new handle's shard immediately. Since Astro dev re-evaluates getStaticPaths() on every request (reading that file), /u/pres/, /u/pres/stats/, and /u/pres/athlete/ will resolve correctly as soon as the new user navigates there.
Fix 2 — invites link (athlete/index.astro:33):
Added an Invites button (top-right, same style as "Edit profile") that starts hidden. When bincio:me fires and me === handle (you're on your own page), the subnav tabs are removed as before AND the invites button is revealed. Other visitors see neither.
- writer.py: timeseries is now written to {id}.timeseries.json as a separate file. The detail JSON gets a timeseries_url field instead. finalize_pending and cleanup_pending handle the extra file.
- merge.py (merge_one): symlinks the .timeseries.json file alongside the detail JSON. merge_all already handles it transparently (the .timeseries.json stem doesn't match any activity
ID in to_merge, so it falls through to the symlink branch).
- types.ts: timeseries is now timeseries?: Timeseries | null, and timeseries_url?: string | null added.
- dataloader.ts: new loadTimeseries(url, detailUrl, base) function that resolves paths correctly in both single- and multi-user modes (uses the fetched detail URL's directory as the base).
- ActivityDetail.svelte: loads timeseries separately after detail loads; uses detail.timeseries for IDB activities (embedded) or fetches via detail.timeseries_url for server activities. Charts show a pulse placeholder while loading.
2 — GZip
- GZipMiddleware (min 1 KB) added to both bincio/serve/server.py and bincio/edit/server.py — all API JSON responses are now gzip-compressed.
- For static files (the big timeseries JSONs), nginx should be configured with gzip on; gzip_types application/json application/geo+json; — no code change needed on the server side.
Net effect: opening an activity page now fetches ~1.4 KB (detail) instead of ~586 KB. The timeseries fetches ~60–150 KB gzip-compressed shortly after (it loads concurrently with the map rendering).
Edit/Upload UI — split into two concepts:
- PUBLIC_EDIT_URL — the server base URL (empty = use proxy at /api/)
- PUBLIC_EDIT_ENABLED=true — whether to show the edit/upload buttons at all
bincio dev now sets PUBLIC_EDIT_ENABLED=true when instance.db exists (multi-user mode), so the upload button, edit button, and edit drawer all appear. The fetch calls already produce correct relative URLs (${''}/api/upload = /api/upload) which the Vite proxy forwards to bincio serve.
- Add bincio/extract/ingest.py as a facade over the extract internals (ingest_parsed, strava_sync), reducing coupling from 6+ imports to one
- Add merge_one() to merge.py — fast single-activity path for interactive edits (rewrites one file + index, skips full directory rebuild)
- Rewrite edit/ops.py to delegate to the new facade; fix broken run_strava_sync return (was referencing undefined locals)
- Remove duplicated SPORTS, STAT_PANELS, VALID_ACTIVITY_ID from edit/server.py — now imported from ops.py
Auth wall (Base.astro): set data-auth-pending on <body> at SSG time and hide
it with inline CSS before any JS runs; remove the attribute after /api/me
resolves. Eliminates the flash of protected content on private instances.
Multi-user write API (serve/server.py): the previous _apply_sidecar_edit and
strava_sync imports from bincio.edit.server were broken (those names don't
exist as module-level exports) and the Strava sync mutated a global data_dir,
making concurrent requests from different users racy. Fix: extract both
operations into bincio/edit/ops.py as pure functions that take data_dir
explicitly. Both edit/server.py and serve/server.py now import from there.
Security: add rate limiting to POST /api/register (5 attempts / 15 min / IP,
separate bucket from login). Add _check_id() activity ID validation to both
GET and POST /api/activity/{id} in serve/server.py.
Single-user mode: _write_root_manifest now forces instance.private=false when
no instance.db exists, even if a previous run wrote true. Prevents the auth
wall from firing and redirecting to /login/ when bincio serve isn't running.
ActivityFeed: skip filterHandle when profileIndexUrl is set (per-user profile
pages load the right shard directly; activities have no handle tag at that
point, so the filter was producing an empty feed). Fix handle links to point
to /u/{handle}/ instead of /{handle}/. Fix <a>-inside-<a> Svelte warning by
converting the inner handle link to a <button>.
- Fix first sync finding 0 activities: remove last_sync_at stamp at
connect time so the first sync checks all Strava history (existence
check skips already-extracted files without fetching streams)
- Add POST /api/strava/reset with soft/hard modes: soft sets last_sync_at
to the most recent activity already on disk; hard clears it entirely
- Surface error_count in sync response and status message
- Add Reset / Hard reset buttons below Sync now in the upload modal
- Reload on bfcache restore so client:only components re-mount after
back navigation
