Replies to a persona's posts reach its followers; personas join remote events

Two owner decisions of 2026-10-05, recorded in the roadmap.

Replies passed on ("the fediverse is broken without"): a public or unlisted
reply from another server to a persona's public, unlisted or followers-only
post goes on to the persona's followers as its author's server sent it, as
Mastodon forwards it, never to the replier's own server, never for a
local-only or group post; its edit and deletion follow. Only an activity its
own actor delivered is passed on (Arrival.Raw), so nothing forwarded is
forwarded again. The town checks it as relay.reply cells (specs/relay-five:
882 checks pass); Mastodon takes a passed-on activity only with an LD
signature, which GoToSocial and Akkoma don't add, and the checker knows it.

Events: a persona joins another server's event with a Join and leaves it with
a Leave, both to the organiser only, through
POST /api/privapub/v1/statuses/:id/join|leave; the organiser's Accept or
Reject is routed by our join id and shows as privapub.event.participation.
Events by invitation or taken on another site are refused before anything
is sent. Mobilizon's scenario joins and leaves an event (28 checks) and keeps
one for decePubClient's e2e.

+- **Replies are passed on** (inbox forwarding; owner decision 2026-10-05). A public or unlisted reply from another server
+  to a persona's public, unlisted or followers-only post goes on to the persona's followers as its author's server sent
+  and signed it, the way Mastodon forwards it: to every follower's server but the replier's own. Its `Update` and
+  `Delete` follow the same way. Nothing is passed on for a local-only post, a group's post or a reply that is not public
+  or unlisted. A server that receives it checks it as it checks any forwarded activity (Mastodon by the LD signature
+  or by reading the reply from its origin).
+- **Events** (owner decision 2026-10-05). A persona joins another server's event with a `Join` and leaves it with a
+  `Leave`, both sent to the event's organiser only (`…/grunts/join-<id>`, `…/grunts/leave-<id>`). The organiser's
+  server answers `Accept` (Mobilizon at once for an open event) or `Reject`, which the persona sees as
+  `privapub.event.participation`: `pending`, `accepted` or `rejected`. An event that takes participants by invitation
+  or on another site (Mobilizon's `joinMode` `invite` or `external`) is refused before anything is sent (422). Who
+  takes part is public on the event's server.
 
 A `Create`'s `Note` carries Mastodon's `content`, `contentMap`, `summary` and `sensitive`, plus `Mention` and `Hashtag`
 tags.
