thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 8e59145826 Audio and video are processed off the request
Every audio and video upload was probed and remuxed inside the request, whatever its length; ffmpeg would read any
protocol and probe any format; `-map 0` kept the data tracks iPhones add, which mp4 refuses; nothing was ever
transcoded, so HEVC or MPEG-4 Part 2 reached browsers that can't play them, and the advertised video_matrix_limit
and frame rate limit were never applied; the output was read whole into memory, the video was saved before its
poster could fail, and the poster's frame leaked in /tmp. FLAC uploads were served as 404.

Now an upload sent to /api/v2/media is stored as sent in media-incoming (beside the media root, never served) and
answered with 202 and no url, while a ProcessMedia job, one at a time, does the work; GET /api/v1/media/:id answers 206
until it is ready, or 422 with why, and media still processing can't be posted. v1 processes before answering.
ffmpeg reads only that file (protocol whitelist, format forced from the probe) and drops data and subtitle tracks. A
video browsers play as it is (H.264, VP8, VP9, AV1 within Media:MaxVideoPixels and MaxFrameRate) is remuxed, anything
else transcoded to H.264 that fits, as Mastodon does; longer than Media:MaxSeconds is refused. Outputs move into place
only once everything succeeded, every temporary file goes, durations are kept, FLAC is served as audio/flac, and the
unit gets PrivateTmp. The instance API advertises the limits that are now applied.

No pasture scenario uploads audio or video through PrivaPub, so the sweep could not see this. MastodonMediaTests: v2
answers 202 then the job makes it playable (and an unreadable file 422 once processed), media still processing can't
be posted, MPEG-4 Part 2 becomes H.264, a video over the limit is made smaller, FLAC is served.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 9268968fd4 Streaming: what happens, told as it happens
Mastodon's streaming API: /api/v1/streaming as a WebSocket (streams
subscribed in the URL or by message) and /api/v1/streaming/{stream} as
server-sent events, with health and the URL advertised. The user stream
tells posts reaching the persona's home (not those an exclusive list keeps
apart, which its list stream tells), notifications, edits and deletions;
public, hashtag and list streams tell what belongs in them. An in-process
hub carries ids only; each connection maps a post or a notification for its
own persona as it sends it, so nothing it may not see, or whose author it
blocked or muted, goes out. A deletion reaches only the streams that showed
the post. The token comes as access_token, header or WebSocket protocol.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 8f25bf056d Everything on, phase 4a: one answer everywhere for counts, search, collections and the instance API
Owner decision 2026-10-04: fix the mismatches and every other mismatch of the same kind.

- One counting rule (Domain/Privacy/Counted), Mastodon's. It is used for a persona's statuses_count, its outbox
  totalItems, NodeInfo localPosts and the instance status_count, which used to count four different things. It
  counts every post that is neither deleted nor a DM, boosts included, and circle and located posts too (owner
  decision). A group's count includes its remote members' posts.
- Users. Personas of banned or deleted roots no longer count, and are not found in search. NodeInfo now gives
  activeMonth and activeHalfyear, and the v2 instance gives active_month instead of a constant 0.
- replies_count counts only public and unlisted replies, so it no longer tells anyone that a private reply exists.
  Migration _012 recounts it.
- A remote account that deletes itself takes everything out of every count (GoneActors): its likes, downvotes,
  reactions and poll votes go and their counters come back, as do its boosts', replies' and quotes' counts, and its
  notifications. Lookups, account lists, search and favourited_by no longer show it. Migration _012 applies this to
  accounts already gone.
- Deleting a post also deletes its pins and the local boosts of it.
- /stalking gives the same total as following_count. Members are still never listed, and hide_collections is now
  always true, since the setting never did anything.
- Joining a community by invitation is following it, so /flock and /groupies agree; leaving unfollows.
- Search. Anyone may search, as on Mastodon; resolve and offset need a sign-in, offset pages, and deleted accounts
  are never found.
- notifications/unread_count counts what the list shows, and the owner's follower and following lists page with
  Link.
- The instance API advertises what is enforced:
  - max_characters, now enforced with a 422;
  - max_pinned_statuses = MaxPins;
  - the media types and limits MediaService and MediaOptions accept;
  - PollService's limits;
  - the configured languages;
  - no streaming URL until streaming exists.

  domain_count counts the servers we have exchanged with; which ones stays unpublished (peers is empty).
- Routes Mastodon answers now answer instead of 404:
  - directory, tags/{name}, timelines/link and identity_proofs;
  - instance/languages, translation_languages, domain_blocks and privacy_policy;
  - the v1 and v2 notification policy, and notification requests.

Also, from phase 3: a recovered password ends /clientapi sessions through a per-root SessionStamp claim instead of
comparing the JWT's whole-second nbf with the change time. That comparison let a token issued in the same second
survive, which made a test flaky.

671 tests pass.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 5f56681c01 Everything on, phase 1: geolocation fetches itself, the deploy signs in as @thepra, the crawler is on, sign-up by invitation
Build / Build (push) Successful in 5m1s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 5m39s
Owner decisions (2026-10-04, recorded in docs/ROADMAP.md): production runs everything that is built, and nothing waits
on a person running a command.

- Geolocation updates itself. GeoUpdater, a hosted service, checks daily whether each DB-IP Lite database was built this
  month. If not, it fetches this month's, or last month's early in the month. It installs a file only once it opens as
  the right kind of database, then swaps it in atomically, and the locator reloads at once. Lookups now run under the
  lock, so a reload can no longer dispose a reader mid-lookup. The systemd timer, its script and their setup.sh lines
  are gone: the root step they needed never happened, and none is needed now. /stargazing names the database in use.
- The admin CLI runs after the app is built, with every service and nothing started.
  - `create-root <login> [--admin]` takes the password on stdin; it is how the first login is made while sign-up is
    closed.
  - `smoke <persona>` keeps the root `deploy-smoke` and an undiscoverable persona, and gives the root a new password
    on every run.
- The deploy signs in as @thepra. It runs the CLI, gets a token through the real OAuth flow (tools/smoke/oauth.sh,
  moved out of the pasture's privapub_token, which now uses it), checks the signed-in API and that @thepra is
  undiscoverable, then revokes the token. PRIVAPUB_SMOKE_TOKEN is gone.
- The deploy also fails when:
  - NodeInfo and the instance API disagree about registrations;
  - /stargazing does not say the crawler is on;
  - the geolocation databases are missing or more than 40 days old.
- The crawler is on in production, seeded with ten large servers of different kinds. FEDERATION.md now describes it
  and how to opt out.
- One registrations switch (Registrations:Mode, default Invitations; Open in tests and the pasture). It is read by
  open sign-up (403 when closed), NodeInfo `openRegistrations`, and v1 and v2 of the instance API, so they can no longer
  disagree. Before, NodeInfo said open and the instance API said closed. Group invitations always work, so
  invites_enabled is true.
- A persona edit through /clientapi no longer resets what the Mastodon API set (discoverable, locked, quote policy…):
  the theme is merged into the settings instead of replacing them.

650 tests pass. The deploy's smoke step was rehearsed against the pasture's PrivaPub.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 6f1ab0073c P6: quote posts, received and sent (FEP-044f and the older keys)
Build / Build (push) Successful in 35s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 54s
- Received quotes: read from `quote`, `quoteUrl`, `quoteUri`, `_misskey_quote` or a FEP-e232 Link tag; the quoted post
  is fetched once; a quoteAuthorization stamp is verified field by field on the quoted author's origin; a consent
  quote without a stamp is pending; an older-key quote of a public post is shown; Delete of a stamp revokes. Counts
  and a `quote` notification follow the accepted state. The `quote-inline` fallback survives sanitising and is removed
  from content when the real quote is shown.
- Personas quote through `quoted_status_id`: posts that state a quote policy get a QuoteRequest and stay pending until
  an Accept brings a stamp we can verify, then an Update adds quoteAuthorization; posts that state none are quoted
  the older way, without `quote`; another persona's posts cannot be quoted yet (we issue no stamps). Quoting posts
  are delivered to the quoted author too.
- Mastodon API: Status.quote (with the quoted status one level deep), quotes_count, quote_approval from the remote
  policy, GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/quotes, `quote` notifications, and api_versions.mastodon = 7.

Checked live: GoToSocial's author-only quote policy is respected.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 4d9be37c1c Mastodon clients can sign in: OAuth with a persona per token
OpenIddict 7.7 (MongoDB stores, keys kept in Mongo so tokens survive
restarts) serves /oauth/authorize, /oauth/token, /oauth/revoke and the
discovery documents, including /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server:
- authorization code (PKCE optional) and client credentials, Mastodon's
  scopes including the granular ones, non-expiring reference tokens,
  `created_at` in the token response, and the urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
  page that shows the code;
- /oauth/login signs the private login into a fifteen-minute cookie that
  only /oauth sees (rate limited, antiforgery-protected); /oauth/authorize
  then asks which persona the application acts as. The token's subject
  is that persona's id and nothing else; no root id reaches a token, an
  authorization or a log line;
- the token exchange refuses a persona whose login is banned or deleted,
  and every API request checks the same.

/api/v1/apps registers applications dynamically, /api/v1/apps/
verify_credentials, /api/v1/instance (v1 and v2, "4.2.0 (compatible;
PrivaPub)") and verify_credentials answer in Mastodon's shapes: snake_case
with explicit nulls, Rails-style parameters from query, form or JSON,
{"error": ...} on failure, Link paging. CORS exposes Link.

/api goes to OpenIddict validation and everything else to the existing
JWT; the JWT failure handler no longer sends the exception and stack trace
to the client.
