Wiring follows the IS_FLAGSHIP pattern: the compose env defaults every
FEDERATION_* var to empty (off — the safe self-host default; all
federation surfaces 404), and cd-apps.yml appends
FEDERATION_ENABLED=true + FEDERATION_LOG_LEVEL=info to the flagship's
app.env. FEDERATION_KEY_ENCRYPTION_KEY was already in SOPS.
Rollout 12.2/12.3 soaked on staging against a real Mastodon
(2026-06-06/07); the trails↔trails Accept bug found by the §11 harness
is fixed and deployed. Rollback: drop the two echo lines, merge, rerun
cd-apps — instant off, follow rows persist.
First boot with the flag enqueues backfill-user-keypairs (idempotent)
and registers the federation jobs. Applied via manual cd-apps dispatch
after merge since workflow-file changes don't trigger the path filter.
