social-federation tasks 2.1–2.5:
- users.public_key / users.private_key_encrypted (TEXT NULL): RSA 2048
keypairs as JWK JSON; private key AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest with
FEDERATION_KEY_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
- remote_actors table: cache of remote AP actors (display fields,
inbox/outbox URLs, public key, software discovery field, poll cursor).
- activities.remote_origin_iri (UNIQUE) / remote_actor_iri / audience:
provenance + audience tagging for rows ingested from remote outboxes.
Replay-safe ingestion keys off the unique origin IRI.
- crypto.server.ts: generalized into createAesCipher(envVar, salt)
factory; existing INTEGRATION_SECRET surface unchanged.
- federation-keys.server.ts: generate/ensure/load keypairs.
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 because that's what Mastodon interops on.
- backfill-user-keypairs pg-boss job: enqueued once per server startup
when FEDERATION_ENABLED=true; only touches users with NULL keys, so
re-runs are no-ops. New users get keys at registration (both passkey
and magic-link paths), best-effort with the backfill as safety net.
- design.md: noted open question — activities.owner_id is NOT NULL but
remote-ingested rows have no local owner; decide in task 7.2.
Schema is additive; zero behavior change while FEDERATION_ENABLED is
off. db:push verified clean against local Postgres.

social-federation tasks 1.1–1.3:
- Add @fedify/fedify pinned to exactly 2.1.16: every 2.2.x release
depends on @fedify/webfinger@2.2.x which was never published to npm,
so 2.1.16 is the newest installable version.
- app/lib/federation.server.ts: Federation instance with an actor
dispatcher serving Person objects for public users; private and
unknown users 404 (no existence leak). MemoryKvStore for now.
- /.well-known/webfinger resource route delegating to federation.fetch.
- ActivityPub content negotiation on /users/:username via route
middleware (future.v8_middleware — no loader uses the context arg,
so the flag is a no-op for existing code).
- FEDERATION_ENABLED env flag (default off) gating every federation
surface.
- Unit tests exercise the Fedify dispatcher as a remote AP client:
WebFinger resolution, actor fetch with Mastodon's Accept header,
private-user 404s, flag-off 404s.
Spike verdict: Fedify fits — URL dispatch, JRD/AP serialization, and
visibility gating all work through framework routes without a custom
server layer.

Follow-up to social-feed. Adds real ActivityPub: per-user actor
objects, WebFinger, signed inbox/outbox, push delivery on local
activity create, signed outbox-poll for remote trails actors.
Asymmetric scope keeps v1 small:
- Inbound: anyone (Mastodon, Pleroma, …) can follow a trails user
and receive their public activities via push delivery.
- Outbound: trails users can follow other *trails* instances only.
Following Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey is refused at the API layer
with a clear "v1 limitation" message.
This avoids the engineering tar pit of robustly parsing arbitrary AP
vocabulary (Notes with attachments, polls, mentions, content warnings,
threads) while still delivering the core federation pitch.
Capabilities:
- New: social-federation
- Modified: social-follows (remote follows + Pending lifecycle)
- Modified: public-profiles (Pending button state, actor object gate)
- Modified: infrastructure (Fedify dep, key management runbook)
- Modified: security-hardening (HTTP Signatures, signed-fetch policy)
