Silent Mode 5465b65756 feat(sirius-press): a WordPress where the account is a key, not a mailbox
WordPress makes two assumptions this project cannot accept: that identity
comes from an email address, and that a site lives at one server. Both are
things somebody else can take away — a mailbox is rented from a provider who
can close it or be compelled to open it, and a server is one seizure from
being gone.

Sirius Press replaces the first and hedges the second.

Signing in means signing a challenge with the key that controls a CashAddress.
The address is recovered from the signature, so nothing is typed but the
signature itself, and the result is an ordinary WordPress session cookie —
roles, capabilities, nonces and the REST API never learn the login was
different. Three ways to produce one: a wallet the browser already exposes, a
phrase used once in the page and wiped, or a signature pasted in from any
BIP-137 wallet, which needs no JavaScript and lets the key stay on a machine
that never touches the web.

There is no password reset, and the recovery page says so plainly rather than
offering a form that cannot work. A reset mechanism is by construction a way
to take an account from its owner, and it is always easier to attack than the
cryptography it bypasses.

Publishing a post also exports it as static HTML to the name's storage on Sia,
signed by the key that owns the name, so the site keeps answering when the
server does not.

Email as a feature is untouched. wp_mail() still works, SMTP still sends, and
contact forms still deliver to addresses real people typed. Only mail to the
site's own unroutable placeholder addresses is diverted to an in-app inbox.
The objection was to email as identity, not to email.

Core is pinned and patched rather than vendored. WordPress 7.1.1 is 149 MB and
5,008 files; the fork's entire core diff is 75 lines in wp-admin/install.php.
Carrying the former to express the latter would bury the patch where nobody
reviews it and make every clone of the monorepo pay for it. Upstream releases
still merge through tools/update-wordpress.sh, which reapplies the series and
says exactly which hunk needs a human.

The cryptography is implemented twice — PHP on the server, JavaScript in the
page — because the server must verify and the browser must sign. Both are
pinned against libauth, the library the Sirius portal wallet and the BNS
gateway already use, so a disagreement of one byte fails the test suite rather
than presenting as a rejected login at three in the morning.

132 checks, no framework, about a second.

# Sirius Press — PHP-FPM image with a verified, patched WordPress baked in.
#
# The image builds core rather than inheriting the official `wordpress` image
# on purpose. That image ships whatever WordPress version it was tagged with,
# and the patch series here is pinned to an exact one; silently applying a
# fork's patches to a different core is how a setup wizard ends up half
# rewritten. Downloading the pinned tarball and checking its hash during the
# build makes the version an explicit, verifiable property of the image.
#
# Core is installed to /opt/sirius-press/core, not to the document root. The
# entrypoint copies it into place on every start, which is what makes
# `docker compose build --pull && up -d` a real upgrade: the usual layout,
# where the document root is itself a volume, pins core to whatever version
# first created that volume and turns every security release into a manual
# migration.
#
# GMP is installed because the wallet cryptography runs in PHP. Without it the
# fork falls back to BCMath, which works and is roughly twenty times slower —
# unavoidable on a shared host, wasteful in a container we control.
