Task group 3 of federation-hardening. There was no blocklist of any kind;
the only lever against a hostile instance was an IP/host block in Caddy.
- New `federation_blocked_instances` table (domain PK, reason,
created_at). Additive → created by drizzle-kit push.
- `federation-blocklist.server.ts`: exact-host matching —
`isBlockedDomain`, `isBlockedIri` (unparseable IRI ⇒ treated as
blocked), and `filterBlockedDomains` for batch recipient filtering.
- Enforced at all three boundaries (spec: federation-operations
"Instance blocklist"):
- inbox — each of the 4 listeners silently drops a blocked actor's
activity (202, no error oracle) before dedup/side effects;
- delivery enqueue — `enqueueActivityDeliveries` filters blocked
recipients in one batch query;
- outbox poll / actor fetch — `pollRemoteActor` refuses a blocked host
up front (`skipped: "blocked instance"`), before any network.
- Operator procedure (SQL insert/list/delete) documented in the
deployment runbook's federation section.
- Tests: unit (hostOfIri) + integration against real Postgres covering
the helper and the delivery + outbox boundaries; inbox uses the same
tested isBlockedIri primitive.
Note: the inbox-drop *counter* (federation_inbox_dropped_total{reason})
lands with the other metrics in task 4.2; this commit is the enforcement.
Verified: db + journal typecheck + lint clean; drizzle-kit push creates
the table; blocklist integration tests green against real Postgres;
journal unit suite 357 passing.

## 1. Durable queue
|
|
|
|
- [x] 1.1 Implement `federation-queue.server.ts`: Fedify `MessageQueue` over pg-boss (enqueue with delay, listen loop), mirroring the `PostgresKvStore` adapter pattern
|
|
- [x] 1.2 Swap `InProcessMessageQueue` for it in `federation.server.ts`; document the two-layer queueing (fan-out jobs + Fedify queue) in a code comment
|
|
- [x] 1.3 Tests: enqueue/delay/consume roundtrip; simulated restart (new listener picks up previously enqueued messages)
|
|
|
|
## 2. Replay defense
|
|
|
|
- [x] 2.1 Add `federation_processed_activities` table (activity IRI PK, received_at) + migration; insert-or-drop check in inbox handlers before side effects
|
|
- [x] 2.2 30-day TTL sweep in the jobs worker
|
|
- [x] 2.3 Tests: duplicate Like/Delete/Update dropped as no-ops; Create double-delivery still covered by remoteOriginIri constraint
|
|
|
|
## 3. Blocklist
|
|
|
|
- [x] 3.1 Add `federation_blocked_instances` table + migration; exact-host check helper
|
|
- [x] 3.2 Enforce at inbox (silent 202 drop + counter), delivery enqueue (filter recipients), and outbox poll/actor fetch (refuse)
|
|
- [x] 3.3 Document the operator procedure (SQL insert/delete) in the ops docs; tests for all three boundaries
|
|
|
|
## 4. Protocol doc & observability
|
|
|
|
- [ ] 4.1 Write `FEDERATION.md` (repo root): NodeInfo, actors/WebFinger, object + activity types with JSON examples, addressing, signatures + dedup expectations, retry policy, moderation semantics; link from README and docs
|
|
- [ ] 4.2 Add `federation_delivery_total{outcome}`, `federation_queue_depth`, `federation_inbox_dropped_total{reason}` metrics + journal dashboard row
|
|
|
|
## 5. Verification
|
|
|
|
- [ ] 5.1 Staging check: queue a fan-out, restart the journal container, confirm deliveries complete; block a test domain and verify both directions
|
|
- [ ] 5.2 Run `pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test && pnpm test:e2e`
