Replaces the earlier 404-for-private model with Mastodon-style locked
accounts. A private profile now returns 200 with a stub layout and
gates content behind follow approval. Default for new users flips from
'public' to 'private' to align with trails.cool's privacy-first
content defaults.
Schema:
- users.profile_visibility default flipped to 'private'. Existing rows
remain 'public' (backfill on first migration handled them).
Follow API (follow.server.ts):
- followUser now creates Pending (accepted_at = NULL) against private
targets and Accepted against public targets — no more refusal.
- New: countPendingFollowRequests, listPendingFollowRequests,
approveFollowRequest, rejectFollowRequest. Approve/reject are
owner-bound: only the followed user can act on their own incoming
requests.
- countFollowers / countFollowing / listFollowers / listFollowing now
filter to accepted-only relations.
Loader (users.$username.tsx):
- Drops the 404 paths. New canSeeContent flag = isOwn ||
profile_visibility='public' || (followState.following === true).
- When canSeeContent=false, render a stub: header + 🔒 badge + body
copy + Request-to-follow / sign-in CTA. Routes/activities sections
are not rendered.
UI:
- FollowButton gains a "Request to follow" / "Requested" state for
private targets via a new isPrivateTarget prop. Cancel-request reuses
the unfollow endpoint.
- New /follows/requests page lists incoming Pending requests with
Approve / Reject buttons.
- New API routes: POST /api/follows/:id/approve and /reject.
- Navbar shows a count badge linking to /follows/requests when
pending > 0.
Privacy manifest already documents the follows relation; no changes
needed (the locked-account semantics don't add new data — same row,
different lifecycle).
Specs / design (social-feed change):
- public-profiles delta rewritten around the four-mode locked model
(public, private+anon, private+pending, private+accepted) with
scenarios for each.
- social-follows delta gains Pending lifecycle requirements (auto vs.
manual accept, approve/reject endpoints, pending request management,
Pending follows do not contribute to feed).
- design.md decision section reflects the new model and rationale for
default-private; non-goal "locked-local-accounts as a follow-up" is
removed since this change ships it.
Tests:
- follow.integration.test.ts: pending-against-private, approve flips
to accepted, reject deletes, owner-bound enforcement.
- e2e/social.test.ts: full Request → Pending → Approve → full-view
flow, plus stub-for-anonymous and /follows/requests auth gate.
Supersedes PR #309 (closed): the empty-public-profile 200 is now a
side-effect of the new render path.

Implements the social-feed change end-to-end. Local-only follows
between users on the same instance, an aggregated /feed of public
activities from people you follow, and an explicit profile_visibility
setting so the question "can someone follow me?" has a deterministic
answer.
Schema (additive, drizzle-kit push --force in cd-apps handles it):
- journal.follows table keyed by `followed_actor_iri TEXT` for
federation forward-compat. Local IRIs look like
`${ORIGIN}/users/${username}`. `accepted_at` is nullable so the
Pending state from social-federation slots in without migration.
- journal.users.profile_visibility ('public' | 'private', default
'public'). Existing users land 'public' via the default; current
effective behavior is unchanged.
Server (apps/journal/app/lib):
- actor-iri.ts: localActorIri(username) helper — single source of
truth for IRI construction.
- follow.server.ts: followUser / unfollowUser / getFollowState /
countFollowers / countFollowing / listFollowers / listFollowing.
Refuses self-follow + private targets. Idempotent.
- activities.server.ts: listSocialFeed(followerId, limit) joining
follows → activities WHERE visibility='public', reverse-chrono.
Routes:
- POST /api/users/:username/follow + /unfollow (session-bound)
- /feed (signed-in only; redirects anon to /auth/login)
- /users/:username/followers + /users/:username/following (paginated)
- /users/:username gates on profile_visibility AND has-public-content
for visitors; owners on private get an amber explainer banner.
- /settings adds a Public/Private radio with explainer text.
UI:
- FollowButton component on profile page (hidden for owner + anon).
- Follower/following counts on profile linking to collection pages.
- "Feed" link in nav (signed-in) + on personal dashboard alongside
"New Activity".
Privacy manifest updated to document the new follows relation and
profile_visibility setting.
Tests: follow.integration.test.ts (FOLLOW_INTEGRATION=1) for the
follow lifecycle; e2e/social.test.ts for /feed redirect, follow
button + count transitions, and the profile_visibility 404 toggle.
Local development: run `pnpm db:push` after pulling to apply the
schema additions. Production migrates automatically via cd-apps.
