OutboxPublisher works out who a post goes to, Mastodon's way: followers'
shared inboxes for public, unlisted and followers-only; every mentioned
remote account's own inbox; the recipients only for direct; the parent's
author for a reply; a community's followers for a post in it; nobody for
a circle. Creates, updates and deletes all use it.
- Local posts take a visibility (public, unlisted, followers-only) and a
spoiler text next to the content-warning flag.
- /clientapi/post/update keeps the previous version as a revision,
re-renders, and sends Update{Note} with `updated` to the same to/cc.
- Deleting is now soft: the content, title, spoiler, media and revisions
are cleared, timeline entries removed, the parent's reply count goes
down, Delete goes to the stored audience, and the object answers 410
with a Tombstone instead of 404.
- Editing a persona's profile sends Update{Person} to its followers.

Infrastructure/Data/Indexes runs at every start, after the migrations:
unique on Post/DmPost ObjectURI, ForeignAvatar ActorURI, the Follower
triple, RootToAvatar, RootUser UserName and ReservedName; plain indexes on
the lookups the services actually make (PublicKeyId, author and group
post listings, ParticipantsKey, the delivery queue).
Migration _001 runs first and removes the duplicates the races could
already have left (keeping the newest actor row, the oldest post, the
accepted follower), then fills ReservedName from every avatar and group.
ReservedName is one username space for personas, groups and the instance:
a name is reserved by an insert the unique index arbitrates, before the
avatar or group is saved, so two simultaneous sign-ups cannot both get it.
A short list of names (admin, support, abuse, postmaster, ...) is never
available.
EntityMaps.Warm touches every entity's collection one at a time before
anything else runs. MongoDB.Entities maps the Entity base class on first
touch, and two types mapped at once throw "An item with the same key has
already been added" and stay broken for the life of the process; the
parallel test run hit it, and the delivery worker racing a request could
have too.

S14 and the privacy items of P0:
- signing up as "admin" no longer grants admin; `PrivaPub admin promote
<root>` (and `demote`) does, run on the box against the configured
database;
- Swagger is served in Development only;
- every service and controller answers "Something went wrong." where it
used to send ex.Message, and the SMTP warnings no longer log the
recipient's address;
- sign-up and login no longer log the IP, User-Agent and root id together;
- invitation sign-up takes the persona's own AvatarUserName (and optional
AvatarName) instead of naming the avatar after the private login, and
refuses a persona username equal to the login's. Invitation login uses
the named persona, creating it if it is new;
- recovery mail comes from "PrivaPub", not collAnon's support address name.

Services/Federation and Controllers/ServerToServer become
Federation/{Actors,Signing,Inbox,Outbox,Rendering,Controllers}, the first step
of the roadmap's layout. No type, route or behaviour changes.

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.
