Ullrich Schäfer 62b40a25f3 feat(journal): outbound trails-to-trails follows (social-federation §6)
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.
