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.

Owner decision 2026-10-04: fix the account privacy findings.
- Sign-in. Every failure answers "That username and password do not match." after the same work: an unknown login
is hashed against a decoy, and the comparison is constant-time. "Banned" is told only to someone who gave the right
password. This covers /clientapi/user/login, /invitation/login and /oauth/login.
- Recovery.
- Every request answers the same sentence and queues a SendRecovery job, whether or not the account exists or has an
email. The lookup, the code and SMTP move to RecoveryJob, so neither the answer nor its timing says anything.
- Codes are kept only as a SHA-256 hash, for one hour. Migration _011 drops the plaintext ones, which never expired.
- A recovered password ends every session of the root. RootSessions sets CredentialsChangedAt, which JwtEvents
checks against the JWT's issue time, now stamped as nbf, and revokes each persona's OAuth tokens and authorizations.
- Deleting a root (RootRemoval: the admin route, or the restored self-delete at /clientapi/user/delete, which asks for
the password).
- Its sessions end.
- Each persona and each group it owns sends Delete{Actor} to its followers, its members and the accounts it follows.
- The personas' posts are emptied.
- /peasants/{name} answers 410 with a Tombstone (formerType Person or Group), as do its inbox and WebFinger, through
LocalActorService.Gone. The names stay reserved.
- The root keeps only a unique `deleted-{id}` name; the second deletion on an instance used to collide on
"Deleted user".
Also, from phase 2's pasture: GoToSocial files a circle post like a DM and shows it only to accounts it mentions. Each
member's copy, and a member's refetch, now also mentions that member silently. The GoToSocial scenario checks circle
posts in conversations, like DMs, and they pass there now, as on Mastodon.
657 tests pass.

The tree had not compiled since its first commit: Group, DmGroup and
IGroupUsersService were referenced and never written, an IDE rename had
turned the user-settings DTO into the ViewAvatarServer enum, and the settings
were saved as an entity they no longer were.
Built now:
- Group (an ActivityPub Group actor with its own keys, members, invitation
code and optional password) and DmGroup (a conversation), with
/clientapi/group/{list,insert,update,join,leave,approve}.
- Posts and DMs: /clientapi/post/{list,insert,delete}, /clientapi/dm/{list,insert};
DM recipients are local usernames or user@host handles resolved by WebFinger.
- Invitation sign-up and login against the group's invitation code, checking
the password before any account is created.
- Federation: WebFinger, NodeInfo 2.0, actors at /peasants/{name} (Person,
Group, and an Application instance actor) with SPKI keys, draft-cavage
RSA-SHA256 HTTP signatures both ways, an inbox handling Follow (+Accept),
Undo, Create, Delete and Update, an outbox, notes at /posts/{id}, and a
persisted, retried, signed delivery queue. A post to a group is announced
by the group to its followers (FEP-1b12).
- The unused, broken typed ActivityPub models are replaced by a renderer;
NSign's HMAC setup, which could not federate, is gone.
Upgrade: net10.0, MongoDB.Entities 25.1 (instance DB API, Standard GUIDs),
Swashbuckle 10 / OpenApi 2, Serilog.AspNetCore 10, MailKit 4.18,
PasswordGenerator 3. The JWT keys are 64 bytes (IdentityModel 8 refuses
shorter for HS512). Production runs its own mongod on 127.0.0.1:27022, as
Sintopia's apps do, and deploys to privapub.thepra.dev from the build runner.
