Web Push Backend TODO
The client can subscribe and decrypt version 1 push payloads, but reliable delivery requires backend support.
- Generate and securely store a VAPID key pair. Expose only the public key to the web build as
VITE_WEB_PUSH_PUBLIC_KEY. - Add authenticated MTP requests for registering, replacing, and deleting a browser
PushSubscriptionper user and installation. - Persist the endpoint,
p256dh,auth, expiration time, stable installation ID, and last-seen time. - Remove subscriptions when a push service returns HTTP 404 or 410 and rate-limit registrations per user.
- Send pushes when an encrypted live message cannot be delivered to an active browser client. Define duplicate suppression for clients that receive both MTP and Web Push.
- Keep the JSON payload within push-provider limits and use this version 1 shape:
{
"version": 1,
"senderId": 123,
"sender": "Display name",
"avatar": "https://optional.example/avatar",
"message": { "content": "base64 encrypted message content" },
"secret": {
"chatId": "123:456",
"secretId": "chat:123:456:main",
"version": 1,
"encryptedSecret": "base64 wrapped chat secret",
"kemCiphertext": "base64 KEM ciphertext",
"wrappingScheme": "mtp-chat-secret-kem-chacha20poly1305-hkdf-sha256-v1"
}
}
- Ensure the wrapped secret is intended for the receiving user's MTP keyring. The server must never receive plaintext message content or plaintext chat secrets.
- Decide how edits, deletions, reactions, calls, read states, and per-chat notification cancellation map to push events.
- Add subscription rotation handling and unregister subscriptions when a user logs out or clears application data.
- Configure production HTTPS, SPA route fallback,
application/manifest+jsonformanifest.json, andCache-Control: no-cachefor the service worker.
