Tasks 6.1–6.6. A local user can follow a user on another trails
instance: WebFinger-resolve the handle, verify the target runs
trails.cool via NodeInfo — checked against the ACTOR IRI's host, never
the handle's domain (split-domain constraint) — record a Pending
follow row, deliver a signed Follow. The §4 inbox listeners already
settle (Accept) or drop (Reject) the row.
- federation-outbound.server.ts: followRemoteActor / cancelRemoteFollow
(Undo delivery) / listOutgoingRemoteFollows. Network steps (lookup,
NodeInfo, delivery) injectable for offline integration tests.
Software allowlist: trails-cool.
- /follows/outgoing: follow-by-handle form + pending/accepted list +
cancel; linked from the feed empty state; i18n en+de. Remote actors
have no local profile page, so the remote Pending state lives here
(the profile Pending button from locked accounts covers local).
- /.well-known/trails-cool now publishes software: trails-cool (6.2).
- Clear 4xx codes: invalid_handle, local_handle, remote_resolve_failed,
not_trails (6.3).
- Tests: handle-parser + allowlist units; integration suite for the
Pending lifecycle (create/idempotent/refuse-non-trails/refuse-
unresolvable/own-host/cancel+Undo) with injected network deps; e2e
anonymous-redirect guard for the new page.

countFollowers counts every accepted follow row, but listFollowers
inner-joined users on follower_id — so a federated follower (NULL
follower_id, follower_actor_iri set) bumped the count while never
appearing in the list. Observed live: profile said '1 follower', list
below was empty. listFollowing had the same latent bug for outbound
trails-to-trails follows.
Both lists now left-join users + remote_actors: local entries link to
the local profile as before; remote entries display cached actor data
(IRI parsing as fallback) and link out to the remote profile.
Integration test pins count/list consistency for a remote follower.

social-federation tasks 3.1–3.4, 4.1–4.8. With this, a Mastodon user
can follow a public trails user: WebFinger → actor fetch → signed
Follow → recorded + Accept(Follow) pushed back.
Identity surface (section 3):
- Actor objects now carry the user's public key (publicKey +
assertionMethods via Fedify key pairs dispatcher; keys generated
lazily as a fallback to the backfill) and an inbox IRI; url uses
localActorIri (3.1).
- Software discovery shipped as standard NodeInfo
(/.well-known/nodeinfo + /nodeinfo/2.1, software.name trails-cool)
instead of the originally-sketched custom AS actor field — Fedify's
typed vocab can't emit arbitrary actor props and NodeInfo is what
the fediverse reads. Artifacts updated accordingly (3.4).
Inbox (section 4):
- /users/:username/inbox resource route; HTTP Signatures verified by
Fedify before any listener runs (4.1). Rate-limited 60 req/5 min per
source instance (host from Signature keyId) BEFORE verification so
hostile instances can't burn CPU on key fetches (4.8).
- Listeners: Follow → auto-accept for public profiles + Accept pushed
back (4.2); Undo(Follow) → row removed (4.3); Accept(Follow) →
Pending settled + first outbox poll enqueued (4.4); Reject(Follow) →
Pending dropped (4.5; UI notice deferred to 6.6). Unhandled types
are acknowledged + dropped by Fedify (4.6).
- Replay protection via Fedify's KvStore, now Postgres-backed
(journal.federation_kv + daily sweep job) so dedupe survives
restarts (4.7).
Schema (discovered requirement):
- follows.follower_id relaxed to nullable + follows.follower_actor_iri
for inbound remote followers — the proposal's 'follows is already
federation-ready' only held for outbound. Check constraint enforces
exactly one follower identity; partial unique index dedupes remote
follows. Notification fan-out + approve flow now filter local
followers explicitly. Design/proposal updated.
Tests: 7 inbox integration tests (accept/refuse/idempotence/undo/
settle/reject/check-constraint), 6 KvStore integration tests, 2 unit
tests for source-host extraction. All against real Postgres, gated on
FEDERATION_INTEGRATION=1.

Folds the actionable follow-requests surface into the Notifications page
as a Requests tab (alongside the existing Activity tab), so the navbar
exposes a single bell instead of two adjacent inboxes. The Requests tab
shows a count badge for pending rows regardless of read state, while the
bell badge keeps reflecting the unread-notifications count (which already
covers `follow_request_received` rows). The standalone /follows/requests
URL is preserved as a 301 redirect so prior notification deep-links,
emails, and bookmarks still resolve.
Driven by the IA review captured in docs/information-architecture.md.
Specs (notifications, social-follows, journal-landing) are updated in
the same change to reflect the new structure.

Adds the notifications system end-to-end (4 types, payload-versioned
JSONB, SSE-based live unread badge, /notifications page, mark-read API,
fan-out job for activity_published, daily 90-day retention purge).
Bell icon in the navbar with unread badge.
Side-findings from exercising the change:
- Add 6-digit magic code to registration (mirrors login UX, mobile
paste-friendly), with `[Register Magic Link]` console line in dev so
the code is reachable without a real email transport.
- Manual passkey/magic-link toggle on the register form (login already
had it).
- Restrict ALPN to http/1.1 in HTTPS dev so React Router's
singleFetchAction CSRF check (Origin vs. Host) passes — Node doesn't
synthesize Host from h2's :authority. Plain HTTP dev unaffected.
- Followers/Following routes now use the locked-account rule from the
profile route (owner + accepted followers see the list; others 404).
Profile page renders the count chips as plain spans for viewers who
can't see the lists, so private profiles don't surface dead links.

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.
