New dashboard route at /dashboard/meshes/[id]/topics/[name] gives signed-in
users a thin chat client over the v0.2.0 REST surface. The mesh detail page
now lists topics with one-click links into the chat. Backend layout:
- packages/api/src/modules/mesh/api-key-auth.ts — exports
createDashboardApiKey() that mints a 24h read+send key scoped to a single
topic for the caller's member id. The page server component calls this on
every render and embeds the secret in the props of the client component;
the secret never touches sessionStorage so a tab close = key effectively
abandoned (the row remains until expiresAt).
- apps/web/.../topics/[name]/page.tsx — server component, NextAuth gate,
resolves the user's meshMember.id, mints the key, renders the shell.
- apps/web/src/modules/mesh/topic-chat-panel.tsx — client component, polls
GET /v1/topics/:name/messages every 5s, sends via POST /v1/messages.
Encoding wraps base64(plaintext) into the ciphertext field — matches the
current broker contract until per-topic HKDF lands in v0.3.0.
The mesh detail page gains a Topics section with empty-state copy that
points users at the CLI verb (claudemesh topic create) for now; topic
creation from the web UI is a follow-up.

Bearer-auth REST endpoints for humans, scripts, bots — anyone without
browser-side ed25519. Same key model as broker WS, scoped by capability
and optional topic whitelist.
Endpoints (v0.2.0 minimum):
- POST /v1/messages
- GET /v1/topics
- GET /v1/topics/:name/messages (limit, before cursor)
- GET /v1/peers
Auth: Authorization: Bearer cm_<secret>. Middleware verifies prefix +
SHA-256 hash with constant-time compare; capability + topic-scope
asserted per route. Cross-mesh isolation: every endpoint scopes to
apiKey.meshId.
Live delivery: writes to messageQueue + topic_message; broker's
existing pendingTimer drains and pushes to live peers. Real-time
push from REST writes is a follow-up.
