What a restore lost of either side is not the other server's to mend: for RestoreRecord.FollowersGrace (14 days)
deliveries carry no Collection-Synchronization header, and a follow only the remote remembers is adopted rather than
undone. Without a restore nothing changes; the interop sweep (gts, mastodon, misskey, sharkey, akkoma, pixelfed,
smithereen, followsync, pins, moves) passed, Smithereen's poll check on a second run.

FEP-8fcf, received. When a delivery's Collection-Synchronization header digests the sender's followers on PrivaPub
otherwise than the personas following it, a job reads the list the header names (on the sender's origin, signed by the
instance actor): a follow the list leaves out ends, only when the list is the one the digest describes; a request it
lists is taken as accepted; a persona it lists that follows nothing there sends Undo{Follow}, as Mastodon does. Each
claiming delivery is compared once.
Checked live (scenarios/followsync.sh, now 15 checks): PrivaPub ends a follow Mastodon lost and undoes one only
Mastodon remembered.
