- IConnectedAddresses remembers which address each host's last connection reached, set in
SafeHttpHandlerFactory's connect callback. That is once per pooled connection, with no
second DNS lookup, and the address is never stored.
- IGeoLocator / DbIpLocator reads the offline DB-IP Lite city and ASN databases (MaxMind
.mmdb, via MaxMind.Db). It maps memory, swaps to new files within ten minutes, rounds
coordinates to one decimal, never looks up a private address, and answers nothing
when the files are missing. CdnNetworks names the CDNs whose edge addresses say nothing
about where a server is.
- deploy/max/geo-update.sh fetches this or last month's databases, checks them and swaps
them in atomically. The privapub-geo timer runs it monthly as www-data, and setup.sh
installs the directory, the script, the units and a first download.
Describing servers will use these in M8.

- /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).

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.

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.

The tree had not compiled since its first commit: Group, DmGroup and
IGroupUsersService were referenced and never written, an IDE rename had
turned the user-settings DTO into the ViewAvatarServer enum, and the settings
were saved as an entity they no longer were.
Built now:
- Group (an ActivityPub Group actor with its own keys, members, invitation
code and optional password) and DmGroup (a conversation), with
/clientapi/group/{list,insert,update,join,leave,approve}.
- Posts and DMs: /clientapi/post/{list,insert,delete}, /clientapi/dm/{list,insert};
DM recipients are local usernames or user@host handles resolved by WebFinger.
- Invitation sign-up and login against the group's invitation code, checking
the password before any account is created.
- Federation: WebFinger, NodeInfo 2.0, actors at /peasants/{name} (Person,
Group, and an Application instance actor) with SPKI keys, draft-cavage
RSA-SHA256 HTTP signatures both ways, an inbox handling Follow (+Accept),
Undo, Create, Delete and Update, an outbox, notes at /posts/{id}, and a
persisted, retried, signed delivery queue. A post to a group is announced
by the group to its followers (FEP-1b12).
- The unused, broken typed ActivityPub models are replaced by a renderer;
NSign's HMAC setup, which could not federate, is gone.
Upgrade: net10.0, MongoDB.Entities 25.1 (instance DB API, Standard GUIDs),
Swashbuckle 10 / OpenApi 2, Serilog.AspNetCore 10, MailKit 4.18,
PasswordGenerator 3. The JWT keys are 64 bytes (IdentityModel 8 refuses
shorter for HS512). Production runs its own mongod on 127.0.0.1:27022, as
Sintopia's apps do, and deploys to privapub.thepra.dev from the build runner.
