InteractionEvent records one interaction with a remote server: its channel (recv, in, out,
http, preview, crawl), activity and object type, outcome and reason, status, latency, wait,
bytes, attempt, audience, local actor kind, inbox, signature, features and the object's age.
IInteractionLedger.Record never blocks and never throws: events go into a bounded channel
of 10k, a full channel drops and counts, and a hosted service writes batches of up to 1000
every two seconds.
Privacy, as decided by the owner:
- no persona, root, group or activity id, inbox URL, actor URI or sender IP is stored;
- distinct accounts are counted with an HMAC keyed by a per-day salt (InteractionSalt,
upserted so restarts agree, never created for a past day);
- the local actor kind survives only on public and unlisted traffic;
- a host claimed by an unverified sender is kept only if it is already known.
Traffic caused by reading is only counted per day (InstanceDay.Reads, ServerDay). Indexes:
a 90-day TTL on events, unique day rows, and a TTL safety net on salts.

- JobQueue takes an optional scope, so a test's worker leases and reaps only its own jobs.
- The dead-host delivery test runs alone (Exclusive), on its own jobs, and cleans up the
breaker rows it trips; the breaker has tests of its own on unique hosts.
- Index and migration tests run alone: they drop indexes and rewrite every post.
- DomainBlocks.Load replaces reflection and a database-wide block in tests.
- Harness.Outgoing sees only deliveries queued since the harness started: Peer ports are
reused within a run, which made the circle test flaky.
- Two pure-logic tests leave Mongo-gated classes, so CI runs them.

- Our public and unlisted posts state interactionPolicy.canQuote. The policy comes from the post, then the persona
(`source[quote_policy]`: public, followers or nobody; default public as the owner chose), and is always nobody for
followers-only posts and DMs.
- QuoteRequests are answered with Accept{result} naming a parrot-licence at /peasants/{name}/parrot-licences/{id}
(the route name the owner chose), or with Reject. Followers-only checks that the requester really follows.
- A licence is a QuoteAuthorization naming both posts; revoking it (POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/quotes/:quoting_id/revoke)
marks it 410, sends Delete{licence} to the quoter and the persona's followers, and revokes our own copy of the quote.
- A quote that arrives with one of our licences is accepted only if that licence is ours, unrevoked and names exactly
that quoting post. One persona quoting another gets a licence too.
- Mastodon API: quote_approval for our posts (automatic, followers, current_user), `quote_approval_policy` when posting,
PUT /api/v1/statuses/:id/interaction_policy, `source.quote_policy`.
Checked live: GoToSocial still accepts our posts with the policy stated, and leaves likes, replies and boosts open.

- The media proxy streams ranged requests from the origin (passing the range on, never caching), downloads and caches
whole files otherwise, and serves cached files with range support. A PeerTube video is never fetched whole for one
viewer, and clients still never contact the remote host.
- PeerTube's fragmented MP4 files inside an HLS entry are read as variants, so HLS-only instances play too.
- A remote Video or Audio post becomes one playable Mastodon attachment: the best MP4 up to 720p that carries both
sound and picture, with its poster and duration; the card is kept only when nothing is playable.
- nginx: /media/proxy/ with proxy_buffering off and a 600 s read timeout (applied on the box, with a backup).
Checked live: a GoToSocial image through the proxy answers 206 with exactly the asked range when streamed, 200 when
cached, and 206 with the right Content-Range from the cache.

- A public post that links to a page gets a preview card: from the post's own data first (FEP-8967 Link preview, the
object's image, title and summary); otherwise the server reads the page once, 0-60 s after the post arrives, never
when someone reads it. OpenGraph and Twitter tags give title, description and image; one LinkPreview per address
is cached for 7 days and shared by the whole server, so a fetch never points at a persona.
- Lemmy link posts, which carry no title or description, get them filled in.
- The page fetch uses the guarded client (public addresses, three redirects, HTML only, first 512 KB).
- Federation:FetchLinkPreviews switches page fetching off.
- Local public posts get cards too.
Checked live: a link to a GoToSocial profile page becomes a card with its title, description and proxied image.

- Incoming reactions in all three shapes: Misskey and Sharkey Likes carrying an emoji (`content` or
`_misskey_reaction`), Pleroma, Akkoma and Iceshrimp.NET EmojiReacts, and their Undo. Unicode reactions are one
grapheme; custom ones need their Emoji tag and keep its image; `:name@host:` is read as `name`. A Like whose
content is a heart stays a favourite.
- Reactions are kept per account and emoji on our posts and on remote ones we hold, and the author of a local post
gets a `pleroma:emoji_reaction` notification with the emoji.
- Personas react through Pleroma's API (PUT/DELETE /api/v1/pleroma/statuses/:id/reactions/:emoji, GET for the list),
which sends an EmojiReact (or its Undo) to the post's author.
- Statuses carry `emoji_reactions` (read by Phanpy) and `pleroma.emoji_reactions`, with counts and whether the viewer
reacted.

- Custom emoji (Emoji tags) on posts, display names, bios and profile fields, at most 64 per object, proxied, in
Status.emojis and Account.emojis.
- Remote profiles keep their header, profile fields, locked flag, published date, movedTo, indexable, memorial and
image descriptions (a locked GoToSocial account no longer shows as open).
- Polls: incoming Questions (Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, GoToSocial shapes) with counts, voters, end and closed;
our own polls from the Mastodon API go out as Questions; votes in are counted once per voter and never become
replies; personas vote on other servers' polls with one Note per choice; counts refresh with an Update at most every
three minutes; a poll closes on time and tells its voters and its author. GET /api/v1/polls/:id and POST
/api/v1/polls/:id/votes.
- An Update without a newer `updated` only refreshes poll, video, audio and event details and leaves no revision.
Checked live against GoToSocial: each side's poll reaches the other as a poll and each side's vote is counted.

- When a sender's key cannot be fetched because its server timed out or answered 5xx, the inbox answers 503 with
Retry-After: 300 instead of 401, so Mastodon 4.7 retries rather than switching to RFC 9421 signatures we do not
verify yet. The fetcher's failure cache now remembers whether a failure was temporary.
- Follow, Like, Block, Accept, Reject and Undo ids are deliberately not dereferenceable: serving them would publish
who follows, likes and blocks whom. They are always sent with their object embedded.

- Dislike and its Undo are kept as downvotes (Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Friendica) and shown with favourites as votes.
- ChatMessage (Lemmy 0.19, Mbin, PieFed to those two) arrives as a direct message.
- A deleted object's id is remembered for 90 days, so a Create that arrives after its Delete cannot bring the post
back; the post's ObjectRecord goes with it.
- A Join of one of our objects is answered with Ignore, as FEP-8a8e asks of a server without RSVP.
- A 503 with Retry-After is waited out like a 429 instead of counting as a failure of the host (GoToSocial throttling,
Mastodon's temporary key failures).
- Status.privapub carries what a Mastodon Status cannot: object type, title, excerpt, cover, the author's source,
link, video, audio and event details, and up/down votes, with every media URL proxied.

- ObjectRecord, one per stored remote object: the raw JSON (up to 256 KB, always hashed), delivered or fetched,
refetched from origin or not, the activity that brought it (or caused the fetch), shared or personal inbox, the
signature's key, algorithm and signed headers, received time, published and updated, the delivering activity's
@context, and up to ten later revisions from Update.
- Delivery details travel from InboxReceiver through the inbox job to the handlers as Arrival.Current.
- A host is described from its NodeInfo when we first hear from it, at most weekly (DescribeInstance job), never when
someone opens the details view.
- GET /api/privapub/v1/statuses/:id/provenance and /api/privapub/v1/instances/:host, with the extensions an object
used detected from its raw form (044f quotes, interaction policies, contexts, proofs, Misskey fields, MFM, FEP-8967
links, emoji, polls, language maps, url variants, Markdown content).
Checked live: a GoToSocial reply shows as delivered to the shared inbox, signed hs2019 with GoToSocial's fragment-less
key id, with its interaction policy detected, and gts.test is described as gotosocial 0.22.1.

- A remote `summary` is a content warning only on a Note or Question, or when `sensitive` is set. On Articles,
Events, Videos, Pages and Audio it is an excerpt (WordPress teasers, Mobilizon dates and places, Mbin titles) and
is now kept as `Post.Excerpt` instead of hiding the post. `Post.ObjectType` records the remote type, and the
Mastodon API shows a remote non-Note object's title above its body again.
- Persona usernames must match `^[a-z0-9_]+$`, as groups already did; a name outside it was unreachable from
Mastodon and Misskey.
- `postingRestrictedToMods` is defined in our JSON-LD context (Iceshrimp.NET drops undefined terms).
- `Vary: Accept` on actor and object URLs.
- Owner decision: blocks federate. A block sends `Block`, an unblock `Undo{Block}`; checked live against GoToSocial.
- Owner decision: a persona's and a group's `published`, and the day in new ids, is a random day up to two weeks
before creation, so personas made the same day no longer share a date. Migration _007 gives existing ones theirs.

tools/pasture/run.sh starts PrivaPub, GoToSocial and Mongo on one podman network behind Caddy's internal CA, and
interop.sh drives both through their own client APIs: follows (one to a locked account), posts, CW, replies, likes,
boosts, DMs, edits, deletes and unfollow. All 25 checks pass, three fresh runs in a row.
- Federation:AcceptAnyCertificate joins the two test-network switches; startup refuses all three in Production.
- WebFinger falls back to http only when AllowPlainHttp is on.
- A bootstrap logger, so a failure before the host is built is no longer silent.
- P4 is ticked in the roadmap, with what has not been run live (Lemmy, a Mastodon circle member).

Found by the first live run against GoToSocial:
- A remote post's id came from its published second plus random bytes, so a reply arriving in the same second as
the post it answers could sort under it, and a late arrival landed behind a client's since_id. A post published
within the last hour now gets an id for its arrival; backfill keeps its published time.
- NoteParser.Time returned default(DateTime) for a missing "updated", so every remote post was stored as edited in
year one. Migration _006 clears the stored ones.
- published now carries milliseconds, so peers that derive ids from it (GoToSocial, Mastodon) keep our posts in
order within a second.

Communities:
- a post addressed to a community (to, cc or audience) is accepted
according to its posting policy - followers, anyone, or moderators -
and GroupDistributor announces the whole activity with `audience` to
the community's followers, plus the object for new posts so Mastodon
shows them; updates and deletes of community content are announced too;
- top-level posts are Pages with a name (the title, or a headline from
the text); /flock counts members, /wardens lists moderators;
- a Mastodon client posts into a community by mentioning it, or into a
remote group, which sets `audience`;
- an Announce of an activity from a remote group a persona follows (Lemmy)
is followed through: the object is fetched from its own origin, kept with
its AudienceURI, and fanned out to the group's local followers; updates
are applied in place and deletes checked against the origin.
Circles stop being local-only: an undiscoverable Group actor whose follows
are all requests the owner approves; posts addressed to the circle and its
/flock and delivered to members' own inboxes, never announced, never
public; a remote member's post into the circle is accepted from members
only. SignedFetchAuthorizer serves circle posts and collections only to a
signed request from a member or a member server's instance actor - 404 for
anyone else. Circles never surface in search, lookups, mentions, account
ids or profile pages.
Federation:SecureMode requires a valid signature on every GET under
/peasants except the instance actor. Group forms take a posting policy.

A post given a latitude and longitude becomes LocalGeo: its position is
rounded to two decimals (about a kilometre) and stored as a 2dsphere
point, its radius clamped to 1-50 km, and it is local only - no Create,
no delivery, no outbox, never in the Mastodon API or on a profile page.
/clientapi/post/nearby takes the viewer's position for the query only
(it is neither stored nor logged), runs $geoNear and keeps posts within
each post's own radius, minus authors the viewer blocks or mutes. A
located post cannot be direct or in a group.

- /api/v1/media and /api/v2/media (and GET/PUT /api/v1/media/:id):
images go through libvips (NetVips, its native build bundled):
autorotated, every kind of metadata dropped (EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC,
comments), capped at 4096 px, with a 640 px preview and a blurhash
(own encoder, the reference algorithm); animated GIFs are re-encoded;
video and audio are remuxed by ffmpeg with -map_metadata -1, never
re-encoded, and a video gets a still preview. Files get random names
under /var/lib/privapub/media, outside the web root deploys replace, and
are served at /media/files with nosniff and a sandbox CSP.
- media_ids on create and edit (four at most, the persona's own, each used
once); notes carry them as Document attachments with alt text, blurhash,
focalPoint and size; inbound attachments were already kept.
- avatar and header uploads in update_credentials, cropped to 400x400 and
1500x500, federated with Update{Person}.
- Remote media reaches clients only through /media/proxy/{hmac}/{url},
fetched by the guarded client (no SVG, 40 MB cap) and cached outside the
served root, trimmed to 5 GB; foreign avatars and headers use it too, so
a client never contacts another server.
- MediaJanitor deletes uploads left unattached for a day.
- nginx accepts 100 MB bodies on the upload endpoints only (applied on Max).

- Blocks are per persona and never federate (a Block activity would tell
the other server who blocked whom): the blocked account is removed as a
follower, with a Reject{Follow} if it is remote, unfollowed, cleared from
home and notifications, and refused with Reject if it follows again.
- Mutes (optionally timed, optionally sparing notifications) and per-
persona domain blocks keep authors out of home timelines, notifications
and every status list the API returns; the boosts of a hidden author's
posts are hidden too.
- Bookmarks and pins (at most five, public or unlisted, own posts) with
their Mastodon endpoints and flags; pinned posts are the actor's
`featured` collection at /trophies, and `featuredTags` points at
/tattoos.
- Reports: /api/v1/reports stores the report and, when forwarding to a
remote account, sends Flag from the instance actor, so the reporting
persona is never named to the other server. An inbound Flag about a local
persona or its posts becomes a report; moderators list and resolve them
under /clientapi/moderator/reports.

With a token for a persona, a Mastodon client can now:
- accounts: verify/update credentials (display name, note, fields, locked,
bot, discoverable, indexable, hide collections, posting defaults; the
change federates as Update{Person}), get, lookup, statuses (paged, by
visibility to the viewer), relationships, search, follow and unfollow,
follow requests (authorize and reject answer remote followers with
Accept or Reject), remove from followers. Followers and following lists
are shown to their owner only.
- statuses: post (plain text, mentions, hashtags, replies, content
warnings, the four visibilities, Idempotency-Key), get, edit (PUT),
delete returning the source for redrafting, context, history, source,
favourite, reblog and their undos, favourited_by and reblogged_by.
- timelines: home, public (local or remote), tag; favourites;
conversations; markers.
- notifications: list with types and exclude_types, get, dismiss, clear,
unread count.
- /api/v2/search, resolving a handle or a URL to an account or a post.
Media, polls, pins, bookmarks, mutes, blocks, lists, filters, trends and
push answer empty lists or a 422 saying they are not supported yet, so
clients degrade instead of failing. Public reads work without a token.
Persona settings (locked, bot, indexable, discoverable) now also shape
the ActivityPub actor.
Fixed on the way: three conditional expressions whose `default` was the
value type's, so a missing limit became 1, a missing flag became false and
an attachment without dimensions became 0x0.

Following records what a local persona follows, local or remote, with
its state and the Follow activity's id. FollowService (behind
/clientapi/follow, /clientapi/unfollow and /clientapi/following):
- resolves @user, user@host or an actor URI;
- a local account is followed in-process: accepted unless it approves
followers by hand, a Follower row on the other side, a community gains
the persona as a member, and a Follow or FollowRequest notification;
- a remote account gets a Follow signed by the persona, at
/grunts/follow-{id}, and stays Requested until an Accept;
- unfollowing deletes the rows, or sends Undo{Follow} to a remote account.
Inbound Accept and Reject are matched to the Follow by its id (or, for an
embedded Follow without one, by its actor), and only from the account that
was followed. A remote Follow now notifies the persona too.
Notification is the per-persona record P1.2 builds on, deduplicated by
type, persona, sender and post. TimelineEntry and Favourite are created
with their indexes for the next commits.

An ObjectId carries its creation second and a per-process counter, so two
avatars made one after the other by the same login got ids a few counts
apart: a link between personas that every Mastodon client would have
seen. Avatar and Group now generate ids from the UTC day plus eight random
bytes (still valid ObjectIds), and a remote post's id is made from its
published time with a random tail, so posts page in the order they were
written rather than the order they arrived.

DomainBlock (domain, severity, reject-media, public and private comment)
covers the domain and its subdomains. Admins manage them under
/clientapi/admin/domainblocks/{list,insert,delete}; the set is kept in
memory, reloaded on every change and at most five minutes stale.
A suspended domain is refused by FederationHttp.IsAllowed, so nothing is
fetched from it and no job delivers to it, and the inbox drops its
activities with a 202 before fetching any key. Reject-media strips the
attachments of posts from that domain. Silence is recorded for the
timelines and notifications that arrive in P1.2.

Post gains what federation and the Mastodon API need: Visibility (Public,
Unlisted, FollowersOnly, Direct, Circle, LocalGeo), the author's account
id, to/cc, the Create's id, url, context, quote, InReplyToURI and the
parent's author, a separate SpoilerText next to the title, language,
mentions, hashtags, remote attachments (alt text, blurhash, focus, size),
reply/favourite/reblog counters, revisions, EditedAt and DeletedAt.
Direct messages are Posts with Visibility Direct and a ConversationId;
migration _005 copies DmPost rows across with their ids and fills the new
fields of existing posts. DmPost is left in place so a rollback still sees
the old messages.
Inbound:
- NoteParser reads Note, Article, Page, Question and media types: content,
then contentMap, then _misskey_content; summary as the spoiler and name
as the title; Mention and Hashtag tags; attachments; a PeerTube-style
list attribution prefers the person over the channel; quote URIs.
- Addressing classifies like Mastodon, finding followers-only by the
author's own followers URL (now stored on ForeignAvatar), not by a
"/followers" suffix.
- Create keeps a post when a local persona is addressed or mentioned, when
it replies to a local post (the parent's reply count goes up) or when a
community it follows is addressed; an unsolicited public post is not
stored. Update keeps the previous version as a revision.
The outbox and object endpoints serve only Public and Unlisted posts.

The single serial DeliveryWorker is replaced by Infrastructure/Jobs:
- Job rows are leased with one FindOneAndUpdate (oldest RunAt first, a
two-minute lease) and a reaper returns expired leases every 30 s;
- enqueueing wakes the workers, which otherwise poll every five seconds;
- delivery runs eight at a time with at most two per host, so a slow or
dead server holds two slots, not the queue;
- a failure waits n^4 + 15 + jitter seconds (Mastodon's curve) for up to
16 attempts; a 4xx other than 408/429 is final, a 429 honours
Retry-After;
- RemoteInstance is a per-host circuit breaker: ten consecutive failures
quarantine a host for an hour, doubling to a week, and its jobs wait
without spending attempts;
- a delivery is queued once per activity and inbox (unique DedupeKey), and
finished jobs expire after seven days (TTL on FinishedAt).
Migration _004 moves pending Delivery rows into jobs and marks them
abandoned, so a rollback to the old worker cannot send them twice.

- Sign-up, login, the invitation flows and password recovery allow ten
requests a minute per client address; the inboxes give each sending
origin (the keyId's) a bucket of 300 that refills at 300 a minute, and
answer 429 beyond it, which peers retry.
- deploy.yml dumps the PrivaPub database to /var/backups before it stops
the service (the last seven are kept), and after the swap checks that
Swagger answers 404 and that the shared inbox answers junk with 400 and
an unsigned activity with 401.

Infrastructure/Data/Indexes runs at every start, after the migrations:
unique on Post/DmPost ObjectURI, ForeignAvatar ActorURI, the Follower
triple, RootToAvatar, RootUser UserName and ReservedName; plain indexes on
the lookups the services actually make (PublicKeyId, author and group
post listings, ParticipantsKey, the delivery queue).
Migration _001 runs first and removes the duplicates the races could
already have left (keeping the newest actor row, the oldest post, the
accepted follower), then fills ReservedName from every avatar and group.
ReservedName is one username space for personas, groups and the instance:
a name is reserved by an insert the unique index arbitrates, before the
avatar or group is saved, so two simultaneous sign-ups cannot both get it.
A short list of names (admin, support, abuse, postmaster, ...) is never
available.
EntityMaps.Warm touches every entity's collection one at a time before
anything else runs. MongoDB.Entities maps the Entity base class on first
touch, and two types mapped at once throw "An item with the same key has
already been added" and stay broken for the life of the process; the
parallel test run hit it, and the delivery worker racing a request could
have too.

S14 and the privacy items of P0:
- signing up as "admin" no longer grants admin; `PrivaPub admin promote
<root>` (and `demote`) does, run on the box against the configured
database;
- Swagger is served in Development only;
- every service and controller answers "Something went wrong." where it
used to send ex.Message, and the SMTP warnings no longer log the
recipient's address;
- sign-up and login no longer log the IP, User-Agent and root id together;
- invitation sign-up takes the persona's own AvatarUserName (and optional
AvatarName) instead of naming the avatar after the private login, and
refuses a persona username equal to the login's. Invitation login uses
the named persona, creating it if it is new;
- recovery mail comes from "PrivaPub", not collAnon's support address name.

S8: a direct message joins a conversation only when its participants are
exactly that conversation's members, found through a new
DmGroup.ParticipantsKey (a hash of the sorted members). A remote context
no longer decides anything: it let anyone who knew a conversation's
context post into it, and joining by context while dropping a participant
would have shown a reply to someone it was not addressed to. A context is
kept only when it is on the author's origin. Sending a DM to the same
people again reuses their conversation instead of opening a new one.
S9: Group.Kind is Circle or Community. A circle is not a federated actor:
its actor, collections, WebFinger and inbox answer 404, a remote Follow is
refused, and posts in it are IsLocalOnly - never delivered, never in an
outbox, never served. Communities keep today's behaviour until P4.
Migration _003 makes every existing group a circle, marks their posts
local-only and backfills the conversation keys.
End-to-end inbox tests sign real deliveries from a fake peer: a context
injection, a forged activity id, a note attributed to someone else, a
cross-origin object, a bad signature, junk bodies and a Follow of a circle.

S5 of the roadmap. ContentSanitizer wraps HtmlSanitizer with Mastodon's
allowlist: the inline and list tags Mastodon keeps, href/rel/class and
the list attributes, microformat and mention/hashtag/ellipsis/invisible
classes, Mastodon's link schemes, every link rel=nofollow noopener
noreferrer, relative links unlinked, headings folded to a bold paragraph,
and the contents of script, style, svg, iframe and friends dropped rather
than kept as text.
Post and DmPost gain ContentHtml (what is shown) and ContentFormat
(Markdown for local, Html for remote). Inbound Create and Update, and a
remote actor's biography, are sanitized on the way in; local posts store
their Markdig rendering. Migration _002 does the same to what is already
stored, and migrations now run at startup.

Infrastructure/Http adds the client the roadmap's S3 and S4 ask for:
- the connect callback resolves the name itself and refuses loopback,
private, link-local, CGNAT, documentation, multicast, ULA, NAT64, 6to4,
Teredo and IPv4-mapped/compatible forms, then connects to the vetted
address, so DNS rebinding cannot swap it afterwards;
- redirects are followed by hand, at most three, each one re-checked;
- bodies are capped at 1 MB after decompression, only JSON media types are
read, every request has a 15 s budget, and a refused URL is not asked
again for five minutes.
Actor and WebFinger fetches and inbox deliveries all use it. Test networks
can switch on Federation:AllowPrivateNetworks/AllowPlainHttp; startup
refuses both in Production.
PrivaPub.Tests (xUnit v3) starts with the address table and the fetcher's
limits against an in-process peer; build.yml and deploy.yml run it.
