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).

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.

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.
