Moves carry follows over; first DMs to Lemmy 0.19 and Mbin go as ChatMessage

Two owner decisions of 2026-10-05, both recorded in ROADMAP:
- After a verified Move the personas following the old account follow the new one, in the same lists, and a mute or
  block of the old account carries over, as Mastodon does it.
- A direct message to one account on a server whose NodeInfo names Lemmy before 1.0 or Mbin goes as a ChatMessage,
  the one place PrivaPub decides by a server's software (invariant 17). G-0008 is closed.

Mbin addresses its private messages to the recipient's profile page, so a Create addressed to a persona's /@name now
reaches the persona. Checked live: moves 8/8, Lemmy 0.19 30/30, Mbin 26/26 with messages both ways. The software
theory runs alone, since every test's peer shares 127.0.0.1.

- **Blocks are sent.** A blocked remote account receives `Block` from the blocking account (and `Reject{Follow}` if it
followed); an unblock sends `Undo{Block}`.
- **Reports** are sent as `Flag` by the instance actor, never by the reporting account.
- **Direct messages** go out as a `Note` addressed to their recipients, except to someone who writes to us as
`ChatMessage`s (Pleroma's type, which Lemmy 0.19 and Mbin take as their only private messages): a message to that one
account alone goes out as a `ChatMessage`, to it alone, without a mention in its text. The first message to an
account that never wrote to anyone here is still a `Note`, which Lemmy 0.19 and Mbin refuse (G-0008).
- **Direct messages** go out as a `Note` addressed to their recipients, except a message to one account elsewhere that
writes to us as `ChatMessage`s (Pleroma's type), or whose server takes nothing else: Lemmy before 1.0 and Mbin, as
their NodeInfo names them (owner decision 2026-10-05, the one place PrivaPub decides by a server's software). That
message goes out as a `ChatMessage`, to the account alone, without a mention in its text.
- **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
