thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 8f4d6cbdf9 A private fediverse on the workstation: PrivaPub against a real GoToSocial
Build / Build (push) Successful in 57s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 1m12s
tools/pasture/run.sh starts PrivaPub, GoToSocial and Mongo on one podman network behind Caddy's internal CA, and
interop.sh drives both through their own client APIs: follows (one to a locked account), posts, CW, replies, likes,
boosts, DMs, edits, deletes and unfollow. All 25 checks pass, three fresh runs in a row.

- Federation:AcceptAnyCertificate joins the two test-network switches; startup refuses all three in Production.
- WebFinger falls back to http only when AllowPlainHttp is on.
- A bootstrap logger, so a failure before the host is built is no longer silent.
- P4 is ticked in the roadmap, with what has not been run live (Lemmy, a Mastodon circle member).

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 a5d9a89445 Communities follow FEP-1b12, circles federate to their members only
Communities:
- a post addressed to a community (to, cc or audience) is accepted
  according to its posting policy - followers, anyone, or moderators -
  and GroupDistributor announces the whole activity with `audience` to
  the community's followers, plus the object for new posts so Mastodon
  shows them; updates and deletes of community content are announced too;
- top-level posts are Pages with a name (the title, or a headline from
  the text); /flock counts members, /wardens lists moderators;
- a Mastodon client posts into a community by mentioning it, or into a
  remote group, which sets `audience`;
- an Announce of an activity from a remote group a persona follows (Lemmy)
  is followed through: the object is fetched from its own origin, kept with
  its AudienceURI, and fanned out to the group's local followers; updates
  are applied in place and deletes checked against the origin.

Circles stop being local-only: an undiscoverable Group actor whose follows
are all requests the owner approves; posts addressed to the circle and its
/flock and delivered to members' own inboxes, never announced, never
public; a remote member's post into the circle is accepted from members
only. SignedFetchAuthorizer serves circle posts and collections only to a
signed request from a member or a member server's instance actor - 404 for
anyone else. Circles never surface in search, lookups, mentions, account
ids or profile pages.

Federation:SecureMode requires a valid signature on every GET under
/peasants except the instance actor. Group forms take a posting policy.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 4a713f3fb6 Media: uploads stripped of metadata, attachments both ways, a remote media proxy
- /api/v1/media and /api/v2/media (and GET/PUT /api/v1/media/:id):
  images go through libvips (NetVips, its native build bundled):
  autorotated, every kind of metadata dropped (EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC,
  comments), capped at 4096 px, with a 640 px preview and a blurhash
  (own encoder, the reference algorithm); animated GIFs are re-encoded;
  video and audio are remuxed by ffmpeg with -map_metadata -1, never
  re-encoded, and a video gets a still preview. Files get random names
  under /var/lib/privapub/media, outside the web root deploys replace, and
  are served at /media/files with nosniff and a sandbox CSP.
- media_ids on create and edit (four at most, the persona's own, each used
  once); notes carry them as Document attachments with alt text, blurhash,
  focalPoint and size; inbound attachments were already kept.
- avatar and header uploads in update_credentials, cropped to 400x400 and
  1500x500, federated with Update{Person}.
- Remote media reaches clients only through /media/proxy/{hmac}/{url},
  fetched by the guarded client (no SVG, 40 MB cap) and cached outside the
  served root, trimmed to 5 GB; foreign avatars and headers use it too, so
  a client never contacts another server.
- MediaJanitor deletes uploads left unattached for a day.
- nginx accepts 100 MB bodies on the upload endpoints only (applied on Max).

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 e6a362c0b8 Domain blocks: suspend, silence, reject media
DomainBlock (domain, severity, reject-media, public and private comment)
covers the domain and its subdomains. Admins manage them under
/clientapi/admin/domainblocks/{list,insert,delete}; the set is kept in
memory, reloaded on every change and at most five minutes stale.

A suspended domain is refused by FederationHttp.IsAllowed, so nothing is
fetched from it and no job delivers to it, and the inbox drops its
activities with a 202 before fetching any key. Reject-media strips the
attachments of posts from that domain. Silence is recorded for the
timelines and notifications that arrive in P1.2.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 ccc3597699 Every outbound federation request goes through one guarded client
Infrastructure/Http adds the client the roadmap's S3 and S4 ask for:
- the connect callback resolves the name itself and refuses loopback,
  private, link-local, CGNAT, documentation, multicast, ULA, NAT64, 6to4,
  Teredo and IPv4-mapped/compatible forms, then connects to the vetted
  address, so DNS rebinding cannot swap it afterwards;
- redirects are followed by hand, at most three, each one re-checked;
- bodies are capped at 1 MB after decompression, only JSON media types are
  read, every request has a 15 s budget, and a refused URL is not asked
  again for five minutes.

Actor and WebFinger fetches and inbox deliveries all use it. Test networks
can switch on Federation:AllowPrivateNetworks/AllowPlainHttp; startup
refuses both in Production.

PrivaPub.Tests (xUnit v3) starts with the address table and the fetcher's
limits against an in-process peer; build.yml and deploy.yml run it.
