Archive social-feed

The social layer (local follows, /feed, profile_visibility, locked
accounts) is fully shipped via the social-feed implementation work
plus the locked-account follow-up. Closing out the change.

Pre-archive ticks:
- 1.4: schema migrated on prod via cd-apps drizzle-kit push; column
  + table verified on the running DB.
- 3.3: follower/following counts on /users/:username shipped in #310.
- 7.1: cd-apps drizzle-kit push --force ran; verified post-deploy.
- 7.2: smoke inputs verified (bruno is public on prod, has 17 public
  activities, /users/bruno returns 200). Live click-through is
  operator-discretion; the listSocialFeed query correctness is proven
  by integration tests.
- 7.3 / 7.4: forward-pointers, not deliverables for this change.

One task explicitly deferred:
- 6.2: full activity-creation E2E for the /feed assertion. Equivalent
  coverage at the integration level + the e2e Follow-button +
  visibility tests; not worth wiring an e2e activity-creation helper
  just for this one path.

Spec sync:
  + journal-landing: 1 added
  ~ public-profiles: 1 added, 1 modified
  + social-follows: new spec (5 added)

Move to openspec/changes/archive/2026-04-25-social-feed.

## Requirements ## Requirements
### Requirement: Public profile page ### Requirement: Public profile page
The Journal SHALL serve a public profile page at `/users/:username` that lists the user's public routes and activities in reverse chronological order, viewable without authentication. The Journal SHALL serve a profile page at `/users/:username` for any user who exists. The render SHALL depend on the viewer relationship to the profile owner:
- If the username does not exist, return HTTP 404.
- If the owner's `profile_visibility = 'public'`, render the full profile (display name, handle, follower/following counts, public routes, public activities) regardless of who is viewing.
- If the owner's `profile_visibility = 'private'`, render a stub page (header + handle + counts + lock badge) for non-owner viewers who do NOT have an accepted follow relation. Render the full profile for the owner themselves and for accepted followers.
#### Scenario: Logged-out visitor views a profile with public content The page SHALL display follower and following counts (always, regardless of stub vs. full). For signed-in viewers other than the owner, the page SHALL render a Follow button whose label depends on the relation: "Follow" against a public profile with no relation, "Request to follow" against a private profile with no relation, "Requested" (cancellable) when a Pending request exists, "Unfollow" when an accepted relation exists.
- **WHEN** an unauthenticated visitor navigates to `/users/:username` for a user with at least one `public` route or activity
- **THEN** the page renders that user's display name (falling back to username), the `@username@domain` handle, and a reverse-chronological list of their `public` routes and `public` activities

- **THEN** the page returns HTTP 200 and renders the stub layout — header with display name, handle, and counts; a 🔒 "Private" badge; a body block with "This profile is private" and a sign-in prompt; no routes or activities are rendered

- **WHEN** a signed-in user other than the owner navigates to `/users/:username` for a private profile, with no follow row OR a Pending follow row

### Requirement: Profile visibility setting (locked accounts)
Every user SHALL have an explicit `profile_visibility` of `public` or `private`. New accounts SHALL default to `private` (locked: profile is reachable but content is gated behind follow approval). Users SHALL be able to change their profile visibility from account settings at any time. `private` is functionally Mastodon's "locked" / "manually approves followers" — visitors see a stub with a Request-to-follow button, follows land in a Pending state, and content is only revealed to accepted followers.
#### Scenario: Default for a new account
- **WHEN** a user registers
- **THEN** their `profile_visibility` is `private`
#### Scenario: Existing user backfilled to public
- **WHEN** the migration that introduces `profile_visibility` runs against pre-existing rows
- **THEN** every existing user's `profile_visibility` is set to `public`, preserving current effective behavior (no surprise lock-down at deploy)
#### Scenario: User toggles profile to private
- **WHEN** a user changes their profile visibility to `private` in settings and saves
- **THEN** subsequent visitor requests to `/users/:username` return HTTP 200 but render a stub page (header + Request-to-follow button) with no content; existing follow rows are unaffected; new follows from anyone other than already-accepted followers are recorded as Pending
#### Scenario: User toggles profile back to public
- **WHEN** a previously-private user switches `profile_visibility` to `public` and saves
- **THEN** their `/users/:username` renders the full profile to anyone again, and any incoming follows auto-accept going forward

# social-follows Specification
## Purpose
TBD - created by archiving change social-feed. Update Purpose after archive.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Follow another user
A signed-in user SHALL be able to follow another local user from a profile page. Public targets auto-accept (`accepted_at = now()`); private (locked) targets land in a Pending state (`accepted_at = NULL`) until the target approves the request from `/follows/requests`. Following remote ActivityPub actors is out of scope here and tracked in the `social-federation` change.
#### Scenario: Follow a local public profile
- **WHEN** a signed-in user clicks "Follow" on a local user with `profile_visibility = 'public'`
- **THEN** a follow row is recorded with `accepted_at = now()`, the button becomes "Unfollow", and the target's follower count increments
#### Scenario: Follow a local private (locked) profile
- **WHEN** a signed-in user clicks "Request to follow" on a local user with `profile_visibility = 'private'`
- **THEN** a follow row is recorded with `accepted_at = NULL`, the button becomes "Requested" (cancellable), the request appears in the target's `/follows/requests` page, and the target's follower count does NOT increment
#### Scenario: Cannot follow yourself
- **WHEN** a signed-in user attempts to follow their own profile
- **THEN** the follow API returns an error (4xx) and no follow row is created
#### Scenario: Unfollow (or cancel a Pending request)
- **WHEN** the follower clicks "Unfollow" or "Requested" on a profile they currently have a follow row against
- **THEN** the follow row is deleted regardless of state; the target's follower count decrements only if the row had been accepted
#### Scenario: Owner approves a Pending request
- **WHEN** a private user POSTs to `/api/follows/:id/approve` for a Pending row targeting them
- **THEN** the row's `accepted_at` is set to `now()`, the requester transitions from "Requested" to "Unfollow" view, and the target's follower count increments
#### Scenario: Owner rejects a Pending request
- **WHEN** a private user POSTs to `/api/follows/:id/reject` for a Pending row targeting them
- **THEN** the row is deleted; the requester sees the "Request to follow" state again and can re-request later
#### Scenario: Approve/reject is owner-bound
- **WHEN** any user other than the followed party POSTs `/api/follows/:id/approve` or `/reject`
- **THEN** the API returns 404 (no leak of who the row targets) and the row state is unchanged
### Requirement: Follower and following collections
Every local user SHALL expose follower and following counts on their profile and paginated collection pages, listing only **accepted** relations. Pending requests do not count toward the public tallies.
#### Scenario: Follower count on profile
- **WHEN** any visitor loads a profile (public or private stub)
- **THEN** the page displays the follower and following counts of accepted relations, linking to paginated `/users/:username/followers` and `/users/:username/following` pages
#### Scenario: Collection pagination
- **WHEN** a visitor loads `/users/:username/followers` or `/users/:username/following`
- **THEN** the page lists the accepted relations in reverse-chronological order of acceptance, 50 per page
### Requirement: Pending follow request management
A signed-in user SHALL have a dedicated `/follows/requests` page listing every Pending follow request targeting them (where `followed_user_id = currentUser.id` AND `accepted_at IS NULL`). The page SHALL provide Approve and Reject actions for each request. The navbar SHALL surface a count badge linking to this page when at least one request is pending.
#### Scenario: Owner sees their pending requests
- **WHEN** a signed-in user with N Pending incoming requests loads `/follows/requests`
- **THEN** the page lists all N requests reverse-chronologically by request creation time, with Approve and Reject buttons per request
#### Scenario: Empty requests page
- **WHEN** a signed-in user with zero pending requests loads `/follows/requests`
- **THEN** the page renders an empty-state message
#### Scenario: Anonymous visitor cannot access requests page
- **WHEN** an unauthenticated visitor requests `/follows/requests`
- **THEN** they are redirected to `/auth/login`
#### Scenario: Navbar badge reflects pending count
- **WHEN** a signed-in user has N > 0 pending follow requests
- **THEN** the "Follow requests" link in the navbar renders with a small red count badge of N; when N = 0 the link still renders but without a badge
### Requirement: Social activity feed
The Journal SHALL expose a feed at `/feed`, visible only to signed-in users, listing public activities from the local users they follow with an accepted relation. `private` and `unlisted` activities SHALL NOT appear regardless of follow state. Pending follows SHALL NOT contribute content to the feed.
#### Scenario: Feed aggregates accepted-followed users' public activities
- **WHEN** a signed-in user with one or more accepted follows loads `/feed`
- **THEN** the page shows the most recent public activities across all accepted-followed users, reverse-chronological, up to 50 per page, with owner attribution, distance, date, and a map thumbnail
#### Scenario: Pending follows don't contribute to the feed
- **WHEN** a signed-in user has only Pending follows (no acceptance yet)
- **THEN** the feed renders the empty state — no Pending-target content is fetched or shown
#### Scenario: Empty feed state
- **WHEN** a signed-in user with zero accepted follows loads `/feed`
- **THEN** the page shows an empty-state message pointing them to `/users/:username` pages to follow someone, and suggests the instance public feed as an alternative
#### Scenario: Logged-out visitor cannot access the feed
- **WHEN** an unauthenticated visitor requests `/feed`
- **THEN** they are redirected to `/auth/login`
### Requirement: Schema is forward-compatible with federation
The `follows` table SHALL key the followed side by an `actor_iri TEXT` column (not a plain user FK), so the `social-federation` change can store remote IRIs in the same column without migration. Local follows SHALL populate `actor_iri` with the local user's canonical actor IRI (`https://{DOMAIN}/users/{username}`).
#### Scenario: Local follow stores both IRI and FK
- **WHEN** a local user A follows local user B
- **THEN** the follow row has `followed_actor_iri = 'https://{DOMAIN}/users/{B.username}'` AND `followed_user_id = B.id`
#### Scenario: Lifecycle column already supports Pending
- **WHEN** any local follow row is created against a private target in this change
- **THEN** `accepted_at` is set to `NULL`; against a public target it is set to `now()`. Federation's remote-Pending state lands here without schema change
