- ObjectRecord, one per stored remote object: the raw JSON (up to 256 KB, always hashed), delivered or fetched,
refetched from origin or not, the activity that brought it (or caused the fetch), shared or personal inbox, the
signature's key, algorithm and signed headers, received time, published and updated, the delivering activity's
@context, and up to ten later revisions from Update.
- Delivery details travel from InboxReceiver through the inbox job to the handlers as Arrival.Current.
- A host is described from its NodeInfo when we first hear from it, at most weekly (DescribeInstance job), never when
someone opens the details view.
- GET /api/privapub/v1/statuses/:id/provenance and /api/privapub/v1/instances/:host, with the extensions an object
used detected from its raw form (044f quotes, interaction policies, contexts, proofs, Misskey fields, MFM, FEP-8967
links, emoji, polls, language maps, url variants, Markdown content).
Checked live: a GoToSocial reply shows as delivered to the shared inbox, signed hs2019 with GoToSocial's fragment-less
key id, with its interaction policy detected, and gts.test is described as gotosocial 0.22.1.

Fanout writes a TimelineEntry for every persona a post should reach: the
author, local followers of a local author, local followers of a remote one,
the members of a direct conversation or a circle. Mastodon's home rules
apply when it is written: a reply shows only to followers of both sides
(or to the one replied to), a reblog only where reblogs are wanted. A
mention of a local persona becomes a Mention notification.
Inbound posts are now also kept when a persona follows their author.
RemotePosts holds what CreateHandler and backfill share: building a Post
from a note, and fetching a public parent the first time a reply to it
arrives, so its author is known (a reply to an unknown or non-public
parent stays out of home timelines). Each fetched ancestor queues a
FetchAncestors job for the next one, up to ten deep.
/clientapi/timeline/home and /clientapi/notifications (with
/notifications/read) page by max_id for the persona's own root only.

The single serial DeliveryWorker is replaced by Infrastructure/Jobs:
- Job rows are leased with one FindOneAndUpdate (oldest RunAt first, a
two-minute lease) and a reaper returns expired leases every 30 s;
- enqueueing wakes the workers, which otherwise poll every five seconds;
- delivery runs eight at a time with at most two per host, so a slow or
dead server holds two slots, not the queue;
- a failure waits n^4 + 15 + jitter seconds (Mastodon's curve) for up to
16 attempts; a 4xx other than 408/429 is final, a 429 honours
Retry-After;
- RemoteInstance is a per-host circuit breaker: ten consecutive failures
quarantine a host for an hour, doubling to a week, and its jobs wait
without spending attempts;
- a delivery is queued once per activity and inbox (unique DedupeKey), and
finished jobs expire after seven days (TTL on FinishedAt).
Migration _004 moves pending Delivery rows into jobs and marks them
abandoned, so a rollback to the old worker cannot send them twice.
