- Dislike and its Undo are kept as downvotes (Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Friendica) and shown with favourites as votes.
- ChatMessage (Lemmy 0.19, Mbin, PieFed to those two) arrives as a direct message.
- A deleted object's id is remembered for 90 days, so a Create that arrives after its Delete cannot bring the post
back; the post's ObjectRecord goes with it.
- A Join of one of our objects is answered with Ignore, as FEP-8a8e asks of a server without RSVP.
- A 503 with Retry-After is waited out like a 429 instead of counting as a failure of the host (GoToSocial throttling,
Mastodon's temporary key failures).
- Status.privapub carries what a Mastodon Status cannot: object type, title, excerpt, cover, the author's source,
link, video, audio and event details, and up/down votes, with every media URL proxied.

- 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.

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.

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.
