- The media proxy streams ranged requests from the origin (passing the range on, never caching), downloads and caches
whole files otherwise, and serves cached files with range support. A PeerTube video is never fetched whole for one
viewer, and clients still never contact the remote host.
- PeerTube's fragmented MP4 files inside an HLS entry are read as variants, so HLS-only instances play too.
- A remote Video or Audio post becomes one playable Mastodon attachment: the best MP4 up to 720p that carries both
sound and picture, with its poster and duration; the card is kept only when nothing is playable.
- nginx: /media/proxy/ with proxy_buffering off and a 600 s read timeout (applied on the box, with a backup).
Checked live: a GoToSocial image through the proxy answers 206 with exactly the asked range when streamed, 200 when
cached, and 206 with the right Content-Range from the cache.

- Received quotes: read from `quote`, `quoteUrl`, `quoteUri`, `_misskey_quote` or a FEP-e232 Link tag; the quoted post
is fetched once; a quoteAuthorization stamp is verified field by field on the quoted author's origin; a consent
quote without a stamp is pending; an older-key quote of a public post is shown; Delete of a stamp revokes. Counts
and a `quote` notification follow the accepted state. The `quote-inline` fallback survives sanitising and is removed
from content when the real quote is shown.
- Personas quote through `quoted_status_id`: posts that state a quote policy get a QuoteRequest and stay pending until
an Accept brings a stamp we can verify, then an Update adds quoteAuthorization; posts that state none are quoted
the older way, without `quote`; another persona's posts cannot be quoted yet (we issue no stamps). Quoting posts
are delivered to the quoted author too.
- Mastodon API: Status.quote (with the quoted status one level deep), quotes_count, quote_approval from the remote
policy, GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/quotes, `quote` notifications, and api_versions.mastodon = 7.
Checked live: GoToSocial's author-only quote policy is respected.

- Custom emoji (Emoji tags) on posts, display names, bios and profile fields, at most 64 per object, proxied, in
Status.emojis and Account.emojis.
- Remote profiles keep their header, profile fields, locked flag, published date, movedTo, indexable, memorial and
image descriptions (a locked GoToSocial account no longer shows as open).
- Polls: incoming Questions (Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, GoToSocial shapes) with counts, voters, end and closed;
our own polls from the Mastodon API go out as Questions; votes in are counted once per voter and never become
replies; personas vote on other servers' polls with one Note per choice; counts refresh with an Update at most every
three minutes; a poll closes on time and tells its voters and its author. GET /api/v1/polls/:id and POST
/api/v1/polls/:id/votes.
- An Update without a newer `updated` only refreshes poll, video, audio and event details and leaves no revision.
Checked live against GoToSocial: each side's poll reaches the other as a poll and each side's vote is counted.

- ObjectShapes reads `url`, `icon` and `image` as a value, a Link or an array; Markdown `content` (PeerTube) is
rendered; a missing `mediaType` is inferred from the extension or the attachment type (Bridgy); alt text comes from
`name`, `summary` or their language maps; thumbnails come from attachment `icon`, object `icon[]`, `image` or a Loops
`preview`; durations are ISO 8601 or seconds; per-attachment `sensitive` is kept; the language falls back to
`@context` `@language` (Pleroma); titles and excerpts are plain text; hashtags normalise with NFKC like Mastodon.
- Typed details on Post: Link (Lemmy link posts, Mbin `source` URLs, Mastodon 4.7 Link attachments with an FEP-8967
publisher preview), Video (PeerTube files with their streams, HLS playlist, poster, captions, chapters, licence,
channel, live state, comment policy), Audio (Funkwhale), Event (Mobilizon, Gancio, Hubzilla: times, zone, floating
time, places and addresses, online link, capacity, status), the cover image, and the author's own source text.
- Mastodon API: a card built from those details without fetching anything, an event's "when · where" line, attachment
thumbnails and durations, and no media file offered as a preview image.
