v0.9.6: InfoNet hashchain, Wormhole gate encryption, mesh reputation, 16 community contributors

Gate messages now propagate via the Infonet hashchain as encrypted blobs — every node syncs them
through normal chain sync while only Gate members with MLS keys can decrypt. Added mesh reputation
system, peer push workers, voluntary Wormhole opt-in for node participation, fork recovery,
killwormhole scripts, obfuscated terminology, and hardened the self-updater to protect encryption
keys and chain state during updates.

New features: Shodan search, train tracking, Sentinel Hub imagery, 8 new intelligence layers,
CCTV expansion to 11,000+ cameras across 6 countries, Mesh Terminal CLI, prediction markets,
desktop-shell scaffold, and comprehensive mesh test suite (215 frontend + backend tests passing).

+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.
+
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published
+    by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
+get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
+of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
+specific requirements.
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see

+
+
+
+
+
+**ShadowBroker** is a real-time, multi-domain OSINT dashboard that fuses 60+ live intelligence feeds into a single dark-ops map interface. Aircraft, ships, satellites, conflict zones, CCTV networks, GPS jamming, internet-connected devices, police scanners, mesh radio nodes, and breaking geopolitical events — all updating in real time on one screen.
+
+Built with **Next.js**, **MapLibre GL**, **FastAPI**, and **Python**. 35+ toggleable data layers. Five visual modes (DEFAULT / SATELLITE / FLIR / NVG / CRT). Right-click any point on Earth for a country dossier, head-of-state lookup, and the latest Sentinel-2 satellite photo. No user data is collected or transmitted — the dashboard runs entirely in your browser against a self-hosted backend.
+
+Designed for analysts, researchers, radio operators, and anyone who wants to see what the world looks like when every public signal is on the same map.
 
 ---
 
+## Experimental Testnet — No Privacy Guarantee
+
+ShadowBroker v0.9.6 introduces **InfoNet**, a decentralized intelligence mesh with obfuscated messaging. This is an **experimental testnet** — not a private messenger.
+
+| Channel | Privacy Status | Details |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Meshtastic / APRS** | **PUBLIC** | RF radio transmissions are public and interceptable by design. |
+| **InfoNet Gate Chat** | **OBFUSCATED** | Messages are obfuscated with gate personas and canonical payload signing, but NOT end-to-end encrypted. Metadata is not hidden. |
+| **Dead Drop DMs** | **STRONGEST CURRENT LANE** | Token-based epoch mailbox with SAS word verification. Strongest lane in this build, but still not Signal-tier. |
+
+**Do not transmit anything sensitive on any channel.** Treat all lanes as open and public for now. E2E encryption and deeper native/Tauri hardening are the next milestones. If you fork this project, keep these labels intact and do not make stronger privacy claims than the implementation supports.
+
+---
+
+## Why This Exists
+
+A surprising amount of global telemetry is already public — aircraft ADS-B broadcasts, maritime AIS signals, satellite orbital data, earthquake sensors, mesh radio networks, police scanner feeds, environmental monitoring stations, internet infrastructure telemetry, and more. This data is scattered across dozens of tools and APIs. ShadowBroker combines all of it into a single interface.
+
+The project does not introduce new surveillance capabilities — it aggregates and visualizes existing public datasets. It is fully open-source so anyone can audit exactly what data is accessed and how. No user data is collected or transmitted — everything runs locally against a self-hosted backend. No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts.
+
+### Shodan Connector
+
+ShadowBroker includes an optional Shodan connector for operator-supplied API access. Shodan results are fetched with your own `SHODAN_API_KEY`, rendered as a local investigative overlay (not merged into core feeds), and remain subject to Shodan’s terms of service.
+
+---
+
+## Interesting Use Cases
+
+* **Transmit on the InfoNet testnet** — the first decentralized intelligence mesh built into an OSINT tool. Obfuscated messaging with gate personas, Dead Drop peer-to-peer exchange, and a built-in terminal CLI. No accounts, no signup. Privacy is not guaranteed yet — this is an experimental testnet — but the protocol is live and being hardened.
+* **Track Air Force One**, the private jets of billionaires and dictators, and every military tanker, ISR, and fighter broadcasting ADS-B — with automatic holding pattern detection when aircraft start circling
+* **Estimate where US aircraft carriers are** using automated GDELT news scraping — no other open tool does this
+* **Search internet-connected devices worldwide** via Shodan — cameras, SCADA systems, databases — plotted as a live overlay on the map
+* **Right-click anywhere on Earth** for a country dossier (head of state, population, languages), Wikipedia summary, and the latest Sentinel-2 satellite photo at 10m resolution
+* **Click a KiwiSDR node** and tune into live shortwave radio directly in the dashboard. Click a police scanner feed and eavesdrop in one click.
+* **Watch 11,000+ CCTV cameras** across 6 countries — London, NYC, California, Spain, Singapore, and more — streaming live on the map
+* **See GPS jamming zones** in real time — derived from NAC-P degradation analysis of aircraft transponder data
+* **Monitor satellites overhead** color-coded by mission type — military recon, SIGINT, SAR, early warning, space stations — with SatNOGS and TinyGS ground station networks
+* **Track naval traffic** including 25,000+ AIS vessels, fishing activity via Global Fishing Watch, and billionaire superyachts
+* **Follow earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, active wildfires** (NASA FIRMS), severe weather alerts, and air quality readings worldwide
+* **Map military bases, 35,000+ power plants**, 2,000+ data centers, and internet outage regions — cross-referenced automatically
+* **Connect to Meshtastic mesh radio nodes** and APRS amateur radio networks — visible on the map and integrated into Mesh Chat
+* **Switch visual modes** — DEFAULT, SATELLITE, FLIR (thermal), NVG (night vision), CRT (retro terminal) — via the STYLE button
+* **Track trains** across the US (Amtrak) and Europe (DigiTraffic) in real time
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quick Start (Docker or Podman)
+
+Linux/Mac
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/BigBodyCobain/Shadowbroker.git
+cd Shadowbroker
+./compose.sh up -d
+```
+
+Windows
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/BigBodyCobain/Shadowbroker.git
+cd Shadowbroker
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:3000` to view the dashboard! *(Requires Docker or Podman)*
+
+`compose.sh` auto-detects `docker compose`, `docker-compose`, `podman compose`, and `podman-compose`.
+If both runtimes are installed, you can force Podman with `./compose.sh --engine podman up -d`.
+Do not append a trailing `.` to that command; Compose treats it as a service name.
+
+---
+
+##  🔄 **How to Update**
+
+If you are coming from v0.9.5 or older, you must pull the new code and rebuild your containers to get the InfoNet testnet, Shodan integration, train tracking, 8 new intelligence layers, and all performance fixes in v0.9.6.
+
+### 🐧 **Linux & 🍎 macOS** (Terminal / Zsh / Bash)
+
+Since these systems are Unix-based, you can use the helper script directly.
+
+**Pull the latest code:**
+```bash
+git pull origin main
+```
+**Run the update script:**
+```bash
+./compose.sh down
+./compose.sh up --build -d
+```
+
+### 🪟 **Windows** (Command Prompt or PowerShell)
+
+Windows handles scripts differently. You have two ways to update:
+
+**Method A: The Direct Way (Recommended)**
+Use the docker compose commands directly. This works in any Windows terminal (CMD, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal).
+
+**Pull the latest code:**
+```DOS
+git pull origin main
+```
+
+**Rebuild the containers:**
+```DOS
+docker compose down
+docker compose up --build -d
+```
+
+**Method B: Using the Script (Git Bash)**
+
+If you prefer using the ./compose.sh script on Windows, you must use Git Bash (installed with Git for Windows).
+
+Open your project folder, Right-Click, and select "Open Git Bash here".
+
+**Run the Linux commands:**
+```bash
+./compose.sh down
+./compose.sh up --build -d
+```
+
+---
+
+### ⚠️ **Stuck on the old version?**
+
+**If the dashboard still shows old data after updating:**
+
+**Clear Docker Cache:** docker compose build --no-cache
+
+**Prune Images:** docker image prune -f
+
+**Check Logs:** ./compose.sh logs -f backend (or docker compose logs -f backend)
+
+---
+
+### **☸️ Kubernetes / Helm (Advanced)**
+
+For high-availability deployments or home-lab clusters, ShadowBroker supports deployment via **Helm**. This chart is based on the `bjw-s-labs` template and provides a robust, modular setup for both the backend and frontend.
+
+**1. Add the Repository:**
+```bash
+helm repo add bjw-s-labs https://bjw-s-labs.github.io/helm-charts/
+helm repo update
+```
+
+**2. Install the Chart:**
+```bash
+# Install from the local helm/chart directory
+helm install shadowbroker ./helm/chart --create-namespace --namespace shadowbroker
+```
+
+**3. Key Features:**
+*   **Modular Architecture:** Individually scale the intelligence backend and the HUD frontend.
+*   **Security Context:** Runs with restricted UIDs (1001) for container hardening.
+*   **Ingress Ready:** Compatible with Traefik, Cert-Manager, and Gateway API for secure, external access to your intelligence node.

 ## ✨ Features
 
+### 🧅 InfoNet — Decentralized Intelligence Mesh (NEW in v0.9.6)
+
+The first decentralized intelligence communication layer built directly into an OSINT platform. No accounts, no signup, no identity required. Nothing like this has existed in an OSINT tool before.
+
+* **InfoNet Experimental Testnet** — A global, obfuscated message relay. Anyone running ShadowBroker can transmit and receive on the InfoNet. Messages pass through a Wormhole relay layer with gate personas, Ed25519 canonical payload signing, and transport obfuscation.
+* **Mesh Chat Panel** — Three-tab interface:
+  * **INFONET** — Gate chat with obfuscated transport (experimental — not yet E2E encrypted)
+  * **MESH** — Meshtastic radio integration (default tab on startup)
+  * **DEAD DROP** — Peer-to-peer message exchange with token-based epoch mailboxes (strongest current lane)
+* **Gate Persona System** — Pseudonymous identities with Ed25519 signing keys, prekey bundles, SAS word contact verification, and abuse reporting
+* **Mesh Terminal** — Built-in CLI: `send`, `dm`, market commands, gate state inspection. Draggable panel, minimizes to the top bar. Type `help` to see all commands.
+* **Crypto Stack** — Ed25519 signing, X25519 Diffie-Hellman, AESGCM encryption with HKDF key derivation, hash chain commitment system. Double-ratchet DM scaffolding in progress.
+
+> **Experimental Testnet — No Privacy Guarantee:** InfoNet messages are obfuscated but NOT end-to-end encrypted. The Mesh network (Meshtastic/APRS) is NOT private — radio transmissions are inherently public. Do not send anything sensitive on any channel. E2E encryption is being developed but is not yet implemented. Treat all channels as open and public for now.
+
+### 🔍 Shodan Device Search (NEW in v0.9.6)
+
+* **Internet Device Search** — Query Shodan directly from ShadowBroker. Search by keyword, CVE, port, or service — results plotted as a live overlay on the map

 ## 🚀 Getting Started
 
-### 🐳 Docker Setup (Recommended for Self-Hosting)
+### 🐳 Docker / Podman Setup (Recommended for Self-Hosting)
 
-You can run the dashboard easily using the pre-built Docker images hosted on GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).
+The repo includes a `docker-compose.yml` that builds both images locally.
 
-1. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/BigBodyCobain/Shadowbroker.git
+cd Shadowbroker
+# Add your API keys in a repo-root .env file (optional — see Environment Variables below)
+./compose.sh up -d
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:3000` to view the dashboard.
+
+> **Deploying publicly or on a LAN?** No configuration needed for most setups.
+> The frontend proxies all API calls through the Next.js server to `BACKEND_URL`,
+> which defaults to `http://backend:8000` (Docker internal networking).
+> Port 8000 does not need to be exposed externally.
+>
+> If your backend runs on a **different host or port**, set `BACKEND_URL` at runtime — no rebuild required:
+>
+> ```bash
+> # Linux / macOS
+> BACKEND_URL=http://myserver.com:9096 docker-compose up -d
+>
+> # Podman (via compose.sh wrapper)
+> BACKEND_URL=http://192.168.1.50:9096 ./compose.sh up -d
+>
+> # Windows (PowerShell)
+> $env:BACKEND_URL="http://myserver.com:9096"; docker-compose up -d
+>
+> # Or add to a .env file next to docker-compose.yml:
+> # BACKEND_URL=http://myserver.com:9096
+> ```
+
+If you prefer to call the container engine directly, Podman users can run `podman compose up -d`, or force the wrapper to use Podman with `./compose.sh --engine podman up -d`.
+Depending on your local Podman configuration, `podman compose` may still delegate to an external compose provider while talking to the Podman socket.
+
+---
+
+### 🐋 Standalone Deploy (Portainer, Uncloud, NAS, etc.)
+
+No need to clone the repo. Use the pre-built images published to the GitHub Container Registry.
+
+Create a `docker-compose.yml` with the following content and deploy it directly — paste it into Portainer's stack editor, `uncloud deploy`, or any Docker host:
 
 ```yaml

+### Pre-commit (Optional)
+
+If you use pre-commit, install hooks once from repo root:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+### Local AIS Receiver (Optional)
+
+You can feed your own AIS ship data into ShadowBroker using an RTL-SDR dongle and [AIS-catcher](https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catcher), an open-source AIS decoder. This gives you real-time coverage of vessels in your local area — no API key needed.
+
+1. Plug in an RTL-SDR dongle
+2. Install AIS-catcher ([releases](https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catcher/releases)) or use the Docker image:
+   ```bash
+   docker run -d --device /dev/bus/usb \
+     ghcr.io/jvde-github/ais-catcher -H http://host.docker.internal:4000/api/ais/feed interval 10
+   ```
+3. Or run natively:
+   ```bash
+   AIS-catcher -H http://localhost:4000/api/ais/feed interval 10
+   ```
+
+AIS-catcher decodes VHF radio signals on 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz and POSTs decoded vessel data to ShadowBroker every 10 seconds. Ships detected by your SDR antenna appear alongside the global AIS stream.
+
+**Docker (ARM/Raspberry Pi):** See [docker-shipfeeder](https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-shipfeeder) for a production-ready Docker image optimized for ARM.
+
+**Note:** AIS range depends on your antenna — typically 20-40 nautical miles with a basic setup, 60+ nm with a marine VHF antenna at elevation.

+* **Imperative Map Updates** — High-volume layers (flights, satellites, fires) bypass React reconciliation via direct `setData()` calls
+* **Clustered Rendering** — Ships, CCTV, earthquakes, and data centers use MapLibre clustering to reduce feature count
+* **Debounced Viewport Updates** — 300ms debounce prevents GeoJSON rebuild thrash during pan/zoom; 2s debounce on dense layers (satellites, fires)
+* **Position Interpolation** — Smooth 10s tick animation between data refreshes
+* **React.memo** — Heavy components wrapped to prevent unnecessary re-renders
+* **Coordinate Precision** — Lat/lng rounded to 5 decimals (~1m) to reduce JSON size

+
+| Variable | Where to set | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BACKEND_URL` | `environment` in `docker-compose.yml`, or shell env | URL the Next.js server uses to proxy API calls to the backend. Defaults to `http://backend:8000`. **Runtime variable — no rebuild needed.** |
+
+**How it works:** The frontend proxies all `/api/*` requests through the Next.js server to `BACKEND_URL` using Docker's internal networking. Browsers only talk to port 3000; port 8000 never needs to be exposed externally. For local dev without Docker, `BACKEND_URL` defaults to `http://localhost:8000`.
