SOLIDPOD BUG: a public file is not decrypted #551
Description
Describe the Bug
When I update the sharing permissions of a file to Public, the file is not decrypted. While I can nav to the file URL, the file content remains encrypted. Should we be decrypting and removing keys for recipients when a file is released publicly? And the reverse when public access is revoked. And similarly for files released to auth users?
If implemented, we should probably have another issue to provide a warning and ask confirmation that they want to decrypt the file
To Reproduce
Open notepod, share one a note to Public. Open the note URL in a browser.
Eg. this note created by Angie one of the attendees at Everything Open:
https://pods.solidcommunity.au/angiepod/notepod/data/note-20260122T155101.ttl
Expected Behaviour
The note content is readable as it has been shared publicly
Screenshots
This is Angie's note within the macos app:
This is Angie's note accessed from URL in browser after releasing publicly:
