- Sign-up, login, the invitation flows and password recovery allow ten
requests a minute per client address; the inboxes give each sending
origin (the keyId's) a bucket of 300 that refills at 300 a minute, and
answer 429 beyond it, which peers retry.
- deploy.yml dumps the PrivaPub database to /var/backups before it stops
the service (the last seven are kept), and after the swap checks that
Swagger answers 404 and that the shared inbox answers junk with 400 and
an unsigned activity with 401.
- ActivityPubClient and PostBoost, never used, are gone.

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.

S8: a direct message joins a conversation only when its participants are
exactly that conversation's members, found through a new
DmGroup.ParticipantsKey (a hash of the sorted members). A remote context
no longer decides anything: it let anyone who knew a conversation's
context post into it, and joining by context while dropping a participant
would have shown a reply to someone it was not addressed to. A context is
kept only when it is on the author's origin. Sending a DM to the same
people again reuses their conversation instead of opening a new one.
S9: Group.Kind is Circle or Community. A circle is not a federated actor:
its actor, collections, WebFinger and inbox answer 404, a remote Follow is
refused, and posts in it are IsLocalOnly - never delivered, never in an
outbox, never served. Communities keep today's behaviour until P4.
Migration _003 makes every existing group a circle, marks their posts
local-only and backfills the conversation keys.
End-to-end inbox tests sign real deliveries from a fake peer: a context
injection, a forged activity id, a note attributed to someone else, a
cross-origin object, a bad signature, junk bodies and a Follow of a circle.

S5 of the roadmap. ContentSanitizer wraps HtmlSanitizer with Mastodon's
allowlist: the inline and list tags Mastodon keeps, href/rel/class and
the list attributes, microformat and mention/hashtag/ellipsis/invisible
classes, Mastodon's link schemes, every link rel=nofollow noopener
noreferrer, relative links unlinked, headings folded to a bold paragraph,
and the contents of script, style, svg, iframe and friends dropped rather
than kept as text.
Post and DmPost gain ContentHtml (what is shown) and ContentFormat
(Markdown for local, Html for remote). Inbound Create and Update, and a
remote actor's biography, are sanitized on the way in; local posts store
their Markdig rendering. Migration _002 does the same to what is already
stored, and migrations now run at startup.

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.
