A singleton ServerSettings (title, descriptions, contact, thumbnail, privacy policy, terms, rules, relays, media
overrides, PublishActivity), cached by InstanceSettings and read by the instance API, NodeInfo, the instance actor, the
web pages and the mailer; its defaults are the old literals, so nothing changes until an administrator edits.
/clientapi/admin/settings (and /thumbnail), /announcements, /relays for administrators; /clientapi/moderator/log, the
staff's log (AdminAction, written by domain blocks, backups, settings and the CLI; no IP, never a root paired with its
personas). The Mastodon API's rules, extended description, privacy policy, terms of service, domain blocks (Published,
Obfuscate), announcements (dismiss, reactions, streaming) and activity (only when published). Reports carry rule ids.
Media overrides clamped to hard caps. Relays named by the settings reconcile next to the configured ones.
Verified: interop.sh instance accounts relay with mastodon, relay, aoderelay and mailpit, 119 passed.

Completion program R2 (docs/ROADMAP.md, 2026-10-17).
- An email address is set only with the password and a 6-digit code sent to it: /clientapi/user/email, /email/verify,
/email/remove and GET /clientapi/user/account (EmailVerification: an hour, five tries, the code's hash only;
EmailVerificationJob through the new IMailer). The request answers one sentence whether or not the address is free,
and nothing goes to an address another login verified. The old POST /clientapi/user/update, which changed the
address with neither and said when one was taken, answers 422.
- Recovery writes only to a verified address; migration _019 keeps the addresses given before verification existed.
- A changed password ends every session and every persona token, and answers a new JWT for the device that changed it.
- Sessions: every JWT carries its session's id ("si", kept by sniff/again). GET /clientapi/user/logout, which did
nothing, ends that session alone (RootUser.EndedSessions, until its tokens would expire); POST
/clientapi/user/logout/everywhere ends them all.
- AppConfiguration:HashingOptions was never bound, so passwords were hashed at the default 9789 iterations: it is
bound now, at 210,000, and a hash made at other iterations is made again at the next sign-in (matched on the old
hash, so two sign-ins never undo each other).
- Recovery and verification codes expire through TTL indexes; EmailVerification is never in a backup.
- AppConfigurationService reads appsettings as they are now, not the copy older builds saved in Mongo on first boot.
- ViewUserSettings and RootUserSettings carry SavedAt, so a client signing in keeps its own theme until one saved.
- Pasture: peers/mailpit.sh (Mailpit 1.31.4 as mailpit.test) receives PrivaPub's mail; recovery links open
https://decepub.test. scenarios/accounts.sh, in sweep batch A, checks all of the above (28 checks).
Verified: dotnet build PrivaPub.sln -c Release; the pasture with gts and mailpit: accounts 28/28 and gts, 91 passed,
0 failed.

Starts the completion program (docs/ROADMAP.md, "Owner decisions on finishing everything", 2026-10-17).
- Dead code: the commented-out collAnon blocks (discussions, seeding, admin user lists, HTTP/3, the old signature
middleware), the empty PrivaPubWorkersConfiguration, PublicAvatarUsersService and UserPolicyType, unused helpers,
the second IPasswordHasher registration, the PasswordGenerator package, SignUpAsync/LoginAsync's unused invitation
parameters. "Starting PrivaPub"; a signed-in login is sent to "/", not to "/discussions".
- Stored fields nothing read: RootUser.Contacts and ResetPasswordToken*, the local Avatar.AvatarServer,
EmailRecovery.RecoveryCode/RequestIP/CreationDate, MongoSettings.LogsDatabase, and AppConfiguration's
upload/discussion keys, RequiresFirstTimeSetup and Version (old documents still load: MongoDB.Entities ignores extra
elements). DmPost's indexes are no longer made. 49 collAnon keys leave FieldsNameResource in every language.
- /clientapi/data/current-version answers the build's ref. UsersIds is a list that can't throw, and the admin routes
leave the administrator out without mutating the request.
- deploy.yml checks SecureMode on a name no persona can have, and the browser redirect on the directory's first local
persona: @thepra is the administrator's own now.
- Town: decePub's e2e remnants (expect, client.jsonl, the decePub column) and town/tests go; the dead gaps/load
commands too. Mobilizon no longer keeps an event for a deleted test.
- tools/pasture/sweep.sh runs every peer's scenario, batch by batch, as CLAUDE.md asks before a change to what
PrivaPub sends.
- Docs: CLAUDE.md's repo map, route table (every frozen route) and stale lines; ROADMAP's status (setup, v1.25.0,
v1.26.0, the program C), the 2026-10-17 decisions, and dated notes where earlier text no longer holds; FEDERATION.md's
FEP list (7888, f228, 7628, ae0c and 8967 supported) and the deploy's persona.
Verified: dotnet build PrivaPub.sln -c Release (0 errors, no new warnings); bash -n on the touched scripts; py_compile
on the town; the pasture's gts, mastodon and lemmy scenarios on this build.
