thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 5f56681c01 Everything on, phase 1: geolocation fetches itself, the deploy signs in as @thepra, the crawler is on, sign-up by invitation
Build / Build (push) Successful in 5m1s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 5m39s
Owner decisions (2026-10-04, recorded in docs/ROADMAP.md): production runs everything that is built, and nothing waits
on a person running a command.

- Geolocation updates itself. GeoUpdater, a hosted service, checks daily whether each DB-IP Lite database was built this
  month. If not, it fetches this month's, or last month's early in the month. It installs a file only once it opens as
  the right kind of database, then swaps it in atomically, and the locator reloads at once. Lookups now run under the
  lock, so a reload can no longer dispose a reader mid-lookup. The systemd timer, its script and their setup.sh lines
  are gone: the root step they needed never happened, and none is needed now. /stargazing names the database in use.
- The admin CLI runs after the app is built, with every service and nothing started.
  - `create-root <login> [--admin]` takes the password on stdin; it is how the first login is made while sign-up is
    closed.
  - `smoke <persona>` keeps the root `deploy-smoke` and an undiscoverable persona, and gives the root a new password
    on every run.
- The deploy signs in as @thepra. It runs the CLI, gets a token through the real OAuth flow (tools/smoke/oauth.sh,
  moved out of the pasture's privapub_token, which now uses it), checks the signed-in API and that @thepra is
  undiscoverable, then revokes the token. PRIVAPUB_SMOKE_TOKEN is gone.
- The deploy also fails when:
  - NodeInfo and the instance API disagree about registrations;
  - /stargazing does not say the crawler is on;
  - the geolocation databases are missing or more than 40 days old.
- The crawler is on in production, seeded with ten large servers of different kinds. FEDERATION.md now describes it
  and how to opt out.
- One registrations switch (Registrations:Mode, default Invitations; Open in tests and the pasture). It is read by
  open sign-up (403 when closed), NodeInfo `openRegistrations`, and v1 and v2 of the instance API, so they can no longer
  disagree. Before, NodeInfo said open and the instance API said closed. Group invitations always work, so
  invites_enabled is true.
- A persona edit through /clientapi no longer resets what the Mastodon API set (discoverable, locked, quote policy…):
  the theme is merged into the settings instead of replacing them.

650 tests pass. The deploy's smoke step was rehearsed against the pasture's PrivaPub.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 ab526ed291 T12, T13: Sharkey and Akkoma in the pasture, and two bugs Akkoma found
Build / Build (push) Successful in 4m51s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 5m2s
Sharkey 2025.4.7 is the Misskey peer under another name, image, database, Redis db and
home. Its scenario is Misskey's plus edits both ways and the FEP-e232 quote tag: 40 checks
pass.

Akkoma 3.20.1 publishes no image, so tools/pasture/images/akkoma installs its OTP
release, pinned by checksum, and appends Caddy's CA to the CA bundles the release ships.
Its scenario has 44 checks, which pass three runs in a row:
- follows, posts, CW, followers-only posts and the published time;
- replies, likes, boosts and their undos;
- EmojiReact both ways and withdrawn;
- DMs, polls, quotes, media, edits with history and deletes, both ways;
- unfollow, block, unblock and statistics.

The two bugs, both fixed:
- Followers-only posts arrived as DMs on Pleroma and Akkoma. They call a post private
  only if an address in `to` contains "/followers" or its cc is not empty. Ours is
  /groupies, and a post mentioning nobody had an empty cc. The followers collection is now
  named in cc as well, which tells nobody anything new.
- Akkoma's open polls showed as ended and refused votes. Akkoma carries an open poll's
  end in `closed` and sends no `endTime`. A `closed` in the future is now read as the end.

Neither of these is a PrivaPub bug:
- Akkoma's Linkify never takes @user@host.test for a mention, so its DM addresses alice
  with to[].
- Its API never reports a remote blocker as blocked_by, so the block is read from its
  database.

Also in this commit:
- The rate limits are configuration (RateLimits: AccountsPerMinute, InboxBurst,
  InboxPerTenSeconds), with the old values as defaults. The pasture raises the accounts
  limit, which back-to-back runs from one address had hit.
- A new Lemmy never sends what it queued for a server before it started that server's
  send worker, so the scenario waits for the worker before its first follow.

All six peers in one clean pass: GoToSocial 54 (+1 expected), Mastodon 49 (+2), Misskey
35, Sharkey 40, Akkoma 44, and Lemmy 20 (+3) once the worker wait was added. 642 tests
pass.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 aa7e43a61e T14: Lemmy 1.0 in the pasture
peers/lemmy.sh runs the Lemmy 1.0.0-beta.2 backend on the shared Postgres. It trusts
Caddy's CA through SSL_CERT_FILE and reaches the pasture through
DANGER_FEDERATION_ALLOW_LOCAL_IP. Lemmy 0.19 cannot join: its rustls trusts only its
bundled roots. LEMMY_LOG sets RUST_LOG.

scenarios/lemmy.sh drives Lemmy through its v4 API. 20 checks pass, three runs in a row:
- communities both ways;
- a titled thread each way, and alice's mention of a Lemmy community becoming a thread
  there;
- the Lemmy community's announce reaching alice's home;
- comments both ways and alice's like as an upvote;
- private messages both ways;
- statistics.

Two expected failures: votes, which Lemmy sends only through the community as
Announce{Like|Dislike}, and a moderator's removal. Both belong to P7.

What it showed, in docs/INTEROP.md:
- Lemmy 1.0 keeps its user's thread in a remote community pending until the community
  announces it back. It clears the flag before answering that echo 400 ("Object is not
  remote"). Leaving the author's server out of the Announce, as tried here, left every
  such thread pending, so GroupDistributor now says why the echo stays.
- Every bare Announce{object} is answered 400, as Lemmy answers its own compatibility
  Announce(Page).

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 e29da1b47a T12: Misskey 2026.10 in the pasture
peers/misskey.sh runs Misskey on the shared Postgres and Redis. Its config is generated with
the pasture's private networks allowed and a setup password, it trusts Caddy's CA through
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, and the first account it makes is the scenario's user. A new Misskey
federates with nobody, so the setup also turns federation on.

scenarios/misskey.sh adds 35 checks, all passing, as listed in docs/INTEROP.md. They cover
posts, CW, MFM source, replies, unicode reactions both ways and their withdrawal, likes as
reactions, legacy quotes both ways, polls, specified notes, media, deletes, unfollow,
block and statistics. MISSKEY_NAME and MISSKEY_IMAGE are there so Sharkey can reuse the peer.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 e0f2eb7da7 T11: Mastodon 4.7.3 in the pasture
peers/mastodon.sh runs Mastodon's web and sidekiq containers on a shared Postgres and Redis
(peers/shared.sh). They trust Caddy's CA through SSL_CERT_FILE and reach private addresses
through ALLOWED_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES. Its users and tokens come from tootctl and rails runner.

scenarios/mastodon.sh adds 49 checks, as listed in docs/INTEROP.md: follows, posts,
replies, likes and boosts with undos, DMs, polls, FEP-044f quotes both ways, media through
the proxy, edits, deletes, locked follows, a circle request, reports, blocks and statistics.
Two are expected failures:
- inbound Block (P7);
- circle posts. Mastodon 4.7 loses the recipient of deliveries to its numeric
  /ap/users/<id>/inbox and then drops a post that names no local account. The fix on our
  side changes what a circle reveals, so it waits for the owner.

GoToSocial and Mastodon together: 86 passed, 0 failed.

The pasture now copies Caddy's root certificate reliably, readable by the peers, and
rebuilds the bundle each time. The CA directory is mounted shared (:z), because a private
:Z label locks out every container but the last. pfetch reaches PrivaPub's own https URIs
through Caddy. PRIVAPUB_ENV passes settings to PrivaPub, which scenarios/crawler.sh uses to
check the opt-in crawler against Mastodon: it visits, describes and reads the peers list.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 2cfea7b60c T7: the federation surface over HTTP
Tests through the real routes of PeasantsController, WellKnownController and
UsersController, on the whole server under test (34 new tests):

- FederationGetTests: the actor document (activity+json, SPKI key at
  #main-key owned by the actor, sharedInbox, published = PublishedOn's day,
  no creation date, no root); ld+json; browsers sent to /@name; Vary: Accept;
  /users 301; the outbox's totalItems and ?page=true&max_id paging across
  the 20-item boundary, boosts as Announces, and no followers-only, direct,
  located, federated-copy or deleted post; /groupies and /stalking naming
  nobody; /trophies (public pins, newest first) and /tattoos; /scribbles
  (public and unlisted 200, browsers redirected, followers-only, direct and
  located 404, deleted 410 Tombstone); a circle post only for a signed member
  or its instance actor; a circle's /groupies, /flock and /wardens only for
  members; /grunts create- and announce- ids; /parrot-licences 200, revoked
  410, wrong author 404; secure mode's 401 for every unsigned GET but the
  instance actor's.
- WellKnownTests: WebFinger by acct:, @-prefixed, bare, upper-case and actor
  URI; other domains, unknown names, a root's login name and no resource;
  the instance actor, a community, a circle (answered: current behaviour);
  NodeInfo links, 2.0 and 2.1 naming no root, unknown versions 404; usage
  counting only public, unlisted, non-boost local posts (Exclusive).
- InboxRouteTests: all three inboxes accept a signed delivery and refuse
  junk (400), unsigned (401), a bad Digest, a two-hour-old Date, a signature
  for another host and a swapped body (401); an unknown persona's /mouth is
  404; ld+json with the ActivityStreams profile is accepted; a signer whose
  actor answers 503 gets 503 with Retry-After; the 301st unsigned POST from
  one address is 429 while a signed server from it is not.
- PersonaSeparationHttpTests: with a sibling persona and its community on
  the same login, every GET under /api (filled with the persona's ids) plus
  search, lookup and relationships, and a crawl of everything federation
  publishes about the persona (actor, outbox pages, collections, scribbles,
  grunts, WebFinger, NodeInfo, /@ pages), never name the sibling, its
  community or the login.

Fixed:
- A circle's /groupies told anyone how many followers (members) it has,
  while its /flock and /wardens were already for members only; it now
  answers 404 to anyone but a signed member or a member's instance actor.
- WebFinger answered 404 to a bare user@domain or @user@domain resource,
  which Mastodon, GoToSocial and Pleroma all accept; it now treats them as
  acct: (noted in docs/INTEROP.md).

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 15cd034b29 M1: the interaction ledger
InteractionEvent records one interaction with a remote server: its channel (recv, in, out,
http, preview, crawl), activity and object type, outcome and reason, status, latency, wait,
bytes, attempt, audience, local actor kind, inbox, signature, features and the object's age.
IInteractionLedger.Record never blocks and never throws: events go into a bounded channel
of 10k, a full channel drops and counts, and a hosted service writes batches of up to 1000
every two seconds.

Privacy, as decided by the owner:
- no persona, root, group or activity id, inbox URL, actor URI or sender IP is stored;
- distinct accounts are counted with an HMAC keyed by a per-day salt (InteractionSalt,
  upserted so restarts agree, never created for a past day);
- the local actor kind survives only on public and unlisted traffic;
- a host claimed by an unverified sender is kept only if it is already known.

Traffic caused by reading is only counted per day (InstanceDay.Reads, ServerDay). Indexes:
a 90-day TTL on events, unique day rows, and a TTL safety net on salts.

Build / Build (push) Successful in 1m7s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 1m15s
- Our public and unlisted posts state interactionPolicy.canQuote. The policy comes from the post, then the persona
  (`source[quote_policy]`: public, followers or nobody; default public as the owner chose), and is always nobody for
  followers-only posts and DMs.
- QuoteRequests are answered with Accept{result} naming a parrot-licence at /peasants/{name}/parrot-licences/{id}
  (the route name the owner chose), or with Reject. Followers-only checks that the requester really follows.
- A licence is a QuoteAuthorization naming both posts; revoking it (POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/quotes/:quoting_id/revoke)
  marks it 410, sends Delete{licence} to the quoter and the persona's followers, and revokes our own copy of the quote.
- A quote that arrives with one of our licences is accepted only if that licence is ours, unrevoked and names exactly
  that quoting post. One persona quoting another gets a licence too.
- Mastodon API: quote_approval for our posts (automatic, followers, current_user), `quote_approval_policy` when posting,
  PUT /api/v1/statuses/:id/interaction_policy, `source.quote_policy`.

Checked live: GoToSocial still accepts our posts with the policy stated, and leaves likes, replies and boosts open.

Build / Build (push) Successful in 37s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 57s
- 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.

Build / Build (push) Successful in 35s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 54s
- 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.

Build / Build (push) Successful in 35s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 56s
- A public post that links to a page gets a preview card: from the post's own data first (FEP-8967 Link preview, the
  object's image, title and summary); otherwise the server reads the page once, 0-60 s after the post arrives, never
  when someone reads it. OpenGraph and Twitter tags give title, description and image; one LinkPreview per address
  is cached for 7 days and shared by the whole server, so a fetch never points at a persona.
- Lemmy link posts, which carry no title or description, get them filled in.
- The page fetch uses the guarded client (public addresses, three redirects, HTML only, first 512 KB).
- Federation:FetchLinkPreviews switches page fetching off.
- Local public posts get cards too.

Checked live: a link to a GoToSocial profile page becomes a card with its title, description and proxied image.

Build / Build (push) Successful in 35s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 57s
- Incoming reactions in all three shapes: Misskey and Sharkey Likes carrying an emoji (`content` or
  `_misskey_reaction`), Pleroma, Akkoma and Iceshrimp.NET EmojiReacts, and their Undo. Unicode reactions are one
  grapheme; custom ones need their Emoji tag and keep its image; `:name@host:` is read as `name`. A Like whose
  content is a heart stays a favourite.
- Reactions are kept per account and emoji on our posts and on remote ones we hold, and the author of a local post
  gets a `pleroma:emoji_reaction` notification with the emoji.
- Personas react through Pleroma's API (PUT/DELETE /api/v1/pleroma/statuses/:id/reactions/:emoji, GET for the list),
  which sends an EmojiReact (or its Undo) to the post's author.
- Statuses carry `emoji_reactions` (read by Phanpy) and `pleroma.emoji_reactions`, with counts and whether the viewer
  reacted.

- Custom emoji (Emoji tags) on posts, display names, bios and profile fields, at most 64 per object, proxied, in

- 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.

- When a sender's key cannot be fetched because its server timed out or answered 5xx, the inbox answers 503 with

  verify yet. The fetcher's failure cache now remembers whether a failure was temporary.
- Follow, Like, Block, Accept, Reject and Undo ids are deliberately not dereferenceable: serving them would publish
  who follows, likes and blocks whom. They are always sent with their object embedded.

- 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

- 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,

  `@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.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 dcd024100a Every remote object keeps its raw form and how it reached us, for the client's details view
Build / Build (push) Successful in 36s
- 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.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 bb9bd71391 P5, first batch: summaries stop hiding articles, personas get reachable names, blocks federate
Build / Build (push) Successful in 50s
Deploy / privapub.thepra.dev (push) Successful in 1m4s
- A remote `summary` is a content warning only on a Note or Question, or when `sensitive` is set. On Articles,
  Events, Videos, Pages and Audio it is an excerpt (WordPress teasers, Mobilizon dates and places, Mbin titles) and
  is now kept as `Post.Excerpt` instead of hiding the post. `Post.ObjectType` records the remote type, and the
  Mastodon API shows a remote non-Note object's title above its body again.
- Persona usernames must match `^[a-z0-9_]+$`, as groups already did; a name outside it was unreachable from
  Mastodon and Misskey.
- `postingRestrictedToMods` is defined in our JSON-LD context (Iceshrimp.NET drops undefined terms).
- `Vary: Accept` on actor and object URLs.
- Owner decision: blocks federate. A block sends `Block`, an unblock `Undo{Block}`; checked live against GoToSocial.
- Owner decision: a persona's and a group's `published`, and the day in new ids, is a random day up to two weeks
  before creation, so personas made the same day no longer share a date. Migration _007 gives existing ones theirs.

thepraandClaude Opus 5.5 829eae3ccf Interop research: every major platform's wire shapes, gotchas, and what PrivaPub still drops
Build / Build (push) Successful in 1m22s
docs/INTEROP.md collects five research passes from 2026-10-01: Mastodon 4.7 and GoToSocial 0.22, the Misskey and
Pleroma families, the threadiverse (Lemmy 0.19/1.0, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB), media and long-form (PeerTube, Loops,
Pixelfed, WordPress, Ghost, events, audio, books, Threads, Flipboard, Bridgy Fed), and cross-cutting FEPs and
signatures. Each claim was checked against source code or live fetches, with dates and versions.

It is checked against our own code: what is already right, three cheap things that are wrong today (summary read as a
CW on every type, unchecked usernames, an undefined context term), what the rich client needs kept (a post kind with
typed payloads, raw capture and provenance for the details view), and the six privacy choices the owner has to make.

The roadmap's P5 becomes P5 to P8, ordered by that evidence.

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).

Build / Build (push) Successful in 25s
CLAUDE.md records what the project is (one private login owning unlinkable
personas, each its own actor), the deliberately odd route names (peasants,
mouth, anus, human-centipede, sniff/again, and the agreed ones still to come),
the federation and privacy invariants, the data and style conventions, and
how it deploys. docs/ROADMAP.md holds the intent reconstructed from the 2023
code, the gap audit, the owner's decisions of 2026-10-01 (Mastodon client
API, personas unlinkable to others, local-only range posts, communities and
circles), the libraries chosen, and phases P0-P5.
