A remote post's canReply, canLike and canAnnounce (with the older always and approvalRequired) are kept beside
canQuote and judged for each persona: let in at once when the rule names the public, the persona, the author's
followers while it follows the author, or the accounts the author follows while the author follows it; asked first
when only the manual list names it; refused (422) otherwise. Asked first, a ReplyRequest, LikeRequest or
AnnounceRequest with the interaction as its instrument goes to the author alone, and the interaction waits
(privapub.approval: pending). The author's Accept brings an authorization, verified on the author's origin as naming the
interaction and the post; the reply then goes out with replyAuthorization, the boost with announceAuthorization, the
like with likeAuthorization. A Reject leaves the reply ours alone and takes a like or a boost back. As a third party, a
reply a policy does not let in at once is kept only with an authorization that verifies. Clients see the rules as
GoToSocial's interaction_policy.
Checked live against GoToSocial 0.22.1: the scenario's nine new checks pass (64 in all), a reply and a like approved
through its interaction requests and a boost refused.

A Note's `location` that is a Place with coordinates (Pixelfed sends
them as strings) is kept in the new Post.Place and shown as
Status.privapub.place {name, latitude, longitude, country}; an edit
replaces it. An Event's location stays its own `places`, and nothing
renders a place back out. Closes the INTEROP P2 Pixelfed location gap
and the ROADMAP long-tail item.

Sharkey 2025.4.7 is the Misskey peer under another name, image, database, Redis db and
home. Its scenario is Misskey's plus edits both ways and the FEP-e232 quote tag: 40 checks
pass.
Akkoma 3.20.1 publishes no image, so tools/pasture/images/akkoma installs its OTP
release, pinned by checksum, and appends Caddy's CA to the CA bundles the release ships.
Its scenario has 44 checks, which pass three runs in a row:
- follows, posts, CW, followers-only posts and the published time;
- replies, likes, boosts and their undos;
- EmojiReact both ways and withdrawn;
- DMs, polls, quotes, media, edits with history and deletes, both ways;
- unfollow, block, unblock and statistics.
The two bugs, both fixed:
- Followers-only posts arrived as DMs on Pleroma and Akkoma. They call a post private
only if an address in `to` contains "/followers" or its cc is not empty. Ours is
/groupies, and a post mentioning nobody had an empty cc. The followers collection is now
named in cc as well, which tells nobody anything new.
- Akkoma's open polls showed as ended and refused votes. Akkoma carries an open poll's
end in `closed` and sends no `endTime`. A `closed` in the future is now read as the end.
Neither of these is a PrivaPub bug:
- Akkoma's Linkify never takes @user@host.test for a mention, so its DM addresses alice
with to[].
- Its API never reports a remote blocker as blocked_by, so the block is read from its
database.
Also in this commit:
- The rate limits are configuration (RateLimits: AccountsPerMinute, InboxBurst,
InboxPerTenSeconds), with the old values as defaults. The pasture raises the accounts
limit, which back-to-back runs from one address had hit.
- A new Lemmy never sends what it queued for a server before it started that server's
send worker, so the scenario waits for the worker before its first follow.
All six peers in one clean pass: GoToSocial 54 (+1 expected), Mastodon 49 (+2), Misskey
35, Sharkey 40, Akkoma 44, and Lemmy 20 (+3) once the worker wait was added. 642 tests
pass.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- ObjectShapes reads `url`, `icon` and `image` as a value, a Link or an array; Markdown `content` (PeerTube) is
rendered; a missing `mediaType` is inferred from the extension or the attachment type (Bridgy); alt text comes from
`name`, `summary` or their language maps; thumbnails come from attachment `icon`, object `icon[]`, `image` or a Loops
`preview`; durations are ISO 8601 or seconds; per-attachment `sensitive` is kept; the language falls back to
`@context` `@language` (Pleroma); titles and excerpts are plain text; hashtags normalise with NFKC like Mastodon.
- Typed details on Post: Link (Lemmy link posts, Mbin `source` URLs, Mastodon 4.7 Link attachments with an FEP-8967
publisher preview), Video (PeerTube files with their streams, HLS playlist, poster, captions, chapters, licence,
channel, live state, comment policy), Audio (Funkwhale), Event (Mobilizon, Gancio, Hubzilla: times, zone, floating
time, places and addresses, online link, capacity, status), the cover image, and the author's own source text.
- Mastodon API: a card built from those details without fetching anything, an event's "when · where" line, attachment
thumbnails and durations, and no media file offered as a preview image.
