+
+[Andrew Morgan (anoa) {he/him}](https://matrix.to/#/@andrewm:element.io) reports
+
+> Here's your weekly spec update! The heart of Matrix is the specification - and this is modified by Matrix Spec Change (MSC) proposals. Learn more about how the process works at <https://spec.matrix.org/proposals>.
+> 
+> ### MSC Status
+> 
+> **New MSCs:**
+>
+> * [MSC4487: Deprecate internal use of matrix.to navigation](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4487)
+> * [MSC4486: Filtering & pagination for listing delayed events](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4486)
+> * [MSC4485: Homeserver feature controls](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4485)
+> 
+> **MSCs in Final Comment Period:**
+>
+> * [MSC4436: Make server ACLs case insensitive](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4436) (merge)
+> * [MSC4423: Undefine order of room directory](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4423) (merge)
+> * [MSC4402: Consistent redirects for .well-known-files](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4402) (merge)

+> 
+> ### Spec Updates
+> 
+> For anyone who has an implementation of [MSC2545: Image Packs](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4488), note that there was a [small clarification](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4488) to the MSC post-merge regarding the `height` property in inline emoticons. Double-check your implementations didn't accidentally copy the incorrect syntax in the MSC's example!

+Enterprise successor to conduwuit, the high-performance and feature-rich fork of Conduit.
+
+[june ✿ 🏳️‍⚧️ (it/she/puppy)](https://matrix.to/#/@june:woof.gay) reports
+
+> Tuwunel💕 1.7.1 rebuilds federation event fetching
+> 
+> [Tuwunel](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel) 1.7.1 reworks how it tracks down events missing from other servers. A [new data-fetching service](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/commit/142c1b100) runs lookups concurrently, ranks servers by membership popularity and recent reachability, and skips a request already in flight. Resolved outlier state, fetch and backoff decisions, and per-server reachability now survive a restart, so it stops re-asking the same uncacheable questions.
+> 
+> An [OIDC device authorization grant](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/commit/298111654) ([RFC 8628](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8628)) lets a console or smart TV without a keyboard hand its login to a browser elsewhere. The [MSC4191](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4191) account-management actions are complete with a deep-linked cross-signing reset, [MSC3861](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3861) OAuth 2.0/OIDC is advertised on `/versions`, dynamic client registration is opt-in and validated, and device-scope binding now requires PKCE.
+> 
+> One fix comes with an apology. Since 1.6.1, the `ip_source` change had been turning away bridges and other loopback clients; that is [now fixed](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/commit/4d4ea0cd7): they again bypass the configured `ip_source`, Unix socket included. Federation lookups recover better too: the room-summary fallback [tries every `via` server](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/commit/5c9998374), a failed remote `publicRooms` returns a `502`, and thanks to June's [report](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/issues/466), a bad `unix_socket_path` is named in the startup error.
+> 
+> June also gave `/.well-known/matrix/support` [PGP](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4439) and [policy](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4266) fields. Smaller spec work also lands: [MSC3980](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3980), [MSC3860](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3860), [MSC4311](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4311), [MSC2659](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2659), and a stable [MSC4267](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4267) forget-on-leave capability, all tracked in the [compliance list](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/blob/74fa5355b831d21f497251976d0436fd3c293e7a/docs/development/compliance/msc.md).
+> 
+> The rest is community work. winyadepla's [request](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/issues/472) to purge every room containing a user is now an admin command; dasha-uwu added an `admin media preview` debug command and fixed a setting that could switch off client-side decompression; BVollmerhaus [documented](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/pull/468) how a proxy can slip into `ip_source_trusted_subnets`. Devices can now hold several access tokens, and media fetches respect CIDR denylists.

+
+> This week, I released v0.1 of *theGrid*, a client I've been silently working on for a little while. As it stands, it seems to work well enough to have some conversations, but it is missing many QOL features and is still highly experimental.
