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.

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.
