Maurice 7da0080557 docs(wiki): bring the wiki in line with 4.0.0 (#2034)
* docs(wiki): correct the install and operations pages for 4.0.0

Quick Start passed docker an empty ENCRYPTION_KEY: an assignment prefix is not
expanded on the same command line, so the server silently generated its own key
instead of taking the one the page told you to set. The tag examples pinned to
the 3.x line, the documented tmpfs size did not match the shipped compose file,
and several .env values were described as reaching the container when compose
never interpolates them.

* docs(wiki): match the MCP reference to the registered surface

The scope table was missing the whole Collections group and the totals said 27
scopes across 13 groups where the code registers 29 across 14. The Cloudflare
link on the setup page pointed at an anchor on its own page instead of the
heading on Troubleshooting.

* docs(wiki): correct the plugin and admin pages

Three links to Plugin-Development carried a .md suffix, which does not resolve on
the wiki. The admin pages described tabs, permissions and storage behaviour that
had moved on.

* docs(wiki): bring the feature pages back in line with the app

Costs still documented the old panel, where categories could be added, renamed,
reordered and deleted; they are fixed now and the panel is a day-grouped ledger
with settlements. Trip sharing, journeys, maps, packing, reservations and the
account pages had all drifted in the same way.

* docs(wiki): cover the pages the first pass did not reach

The MCP catalog listed 168 of the 201 registered tools; the settlement tools and
rate_place were missing here and the Collections family from the addon page.
Several resource rows claimed a trips:* scope where the handler asks for
trips:read.

* docs(wiki): tighten the corrections a review picked apart

The audit-log resource is the row id, not the credential id; an admin password
reset does not bump password_version the way the page implied; and a few of the
new paragraphs described behaviour more confidently than the code supports.

* docs(wiki): fix what a last read-through caught

Costs shows every figure in your display currency, not the trip's, and an
expense with no payer still counts against the members it is split between.
Studio's cutoff is a 1024px viewport rather than phones alone, and the
Integrations tab is gated on the providers an admin has configured.

* docs(wiki): the last few the review caught

A passkey satisfies the MFA policy everywhere except the WebSocket handshake,
which still asks for TOTP, so a passkey-only account under that policy gets no
live updates. Mobile optimizes a day from two places, not three. The ctx.db row
carried an unescaped pipe that split the table, and the Backups table linked
with a wiki link whose pipe did the same.

Collab Chat

Chat with your group in real time, without leaving the trip planner.

The trip chat, with messages from three trip members

Where to find it

Open the trip planner and select the Collab tab. If the Chat sub-feature is enabled, a Chat panel appears — on desktop as the left column, on mobile as the first tab in the tab bar.

The Collab addon must be enabled by an admin and the Chat sub-feature must be turned on. See Real-Time-Collaboration.

Sending messages

Type in the input field at the bottom and press Enter (or click the send button) to post. Hold Shift + Enter to insert a line break without sending.

Messages load in pages of 100. A Load older messages button appears at the top of the chat when older messages are available.

Emoji

Click the smiley-face button in the composer to open the emoji picker. The picker has three categories:

  • Smileys — facial expressions and gestures
  • Reactions — hearts, fire, thumbs, and similar
  • Travel — planes, maps, food, cameras, and destinations

Emoji are rendered via Twemoji for consistent appearance across platforms.

Reactions

Right-click a message on desktop (or double-tap on mobile) to open the quick-reaction menu. Eight quick reactions are available: ❤️ 😂 👍 😮 😢 🔥 👏 🎉. Click any reaction to toggle it on or off. Reactions from all users aggregate beneath the message; hover a reaction badge to see who reacted.

Replies

Hover a message to reveal the action buttons. Click Reply to quote that message. A preview of the quoted text appears above your new message in the composer; click the × to cancel the reply. The quoted text is displayed inline inside your bubble when sent.

When a message contains a URL, TREK automatically fetches an Open Graph preview (title, description, and thumbnail image) and displays it below the message text. Only the first URL in a message generates a preview.

Message styling

Your own messages appear right-aligned with a blue bubble. Other members' messages appear left-aligned with a gray bubble. The username is shown above the first message in a group of consecutive messages from the same person; the avatar is shown beside the last message in that group. Timestamps appear below the last message in each group.

Messages that consist of only 1–3 emoji are displayed larger without a bubble.

Deleting messages

Hover your own message to reveal the delete button (trash icon). The delete button is only visible when you have the collab_edit permission. Deleting replaces the bubble with an italicised notice — showing your username, "deleted a message", and a timestamp — visible to all members.

Read-only viewers

Users without the collab_edit permission can read all messages but the composer is disabled — they cannot send, react, or delete messages. The reply button is visible to all users, but completing a reply still requires collab_edit (the send button is hidden for read-only users).
