Mastodon's v2 filters replace the empty stubs: a filter's title, contexts,
action (warn, hide, blur) and expiry, its keywords (whole words or not,
taken as JSON objects, listed or numbered form fields, with id and _destroy
on update) and its statuses, each with their own endpoints; the v1 API is
the same filters seen keyword by keyword. Every status a persona reads
carries the filters it matches in `filtered` (a boost as what it boosts),
matched as Mastodon matches: warning, title, text, poll options and media
descriptions. Clients apply context and action. Filters never federate, and
go with a deleted persona.

Mastodon's lists replace the empty stubs: CRUD, members (only accounts the
persona follows; a follow that ends takes its memberships with it),
accounts/:id/lists, and timelines/list/:id from the persona's home entries
with the replies policy (followed, list, none; self-replies and replies to
the persona always). An exclusive list's members stay out of home. Lists
never federate, and go with a deleted persona.

Owner decision 2026-10-04: fix the account privacy findings.
- Sign-in. Every failure answers "That username and password do not match." after the same work: an unknown login
is hashed against a decoy, and the comparison is constant-time. "Banned" is told only to someone who gave the right
password. This covers /clientapi/user/login, /invitation/login and /oauth/login.
- Recovery.
- Every request answers the same sentence and queues a SendRecovery job, whether or not the account exists or has an
email. The lookup, the code and SMTP move to RecoveryJob, so neither the answer nor its timing says anything.
- Codes are kept only as a SHA-256 hash, for one hour. Migration _011 drops the plaintext ones, which never expired.
- A recovered password ends every session of the root. RootSessions sets CredentialsChangedAt, which JwtEvents
checks against the JWT's issue time, now stamped as nbf, and revokes each persona's OAuth tokens and authorizations.
- Deleting a root (RootRemoval: the admin route, or the restored self-delete at /clientapi/user/delete, which asks for
the password).
- Its sessions end.
- Each persona and each group it owns sends Delete{Actor} to its followers, its members and the accounts it follows.
- The personas' posts are emptied.
- /peasants/{name} answers 410 with a Tombstone (formerType Person or Group), as do its inbox and WebFinger, through
LocalActorService.Gone. The names stay reserved.
- The root keeps only a unique `deleted-{id}` name; the second deletion on an instance used to collide on
"Deleted user".
Also, from phase 2's pasture: GoToSocial files a circle post like a DM and shows it only to accounts it mentions. Each
member's copy, and a member's refetch, now also mentions that member silently. The GoToSocial scenario checks circle
posts in conversations, like DMs, and they pass there now, as on Mastodon.
657 tests pass.
