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.

Sign-up stays closed (invitations only), so a new server's first login could only be made over SSH with admin
create-root, and an invitation needs a group, which needs a login. While no administrator exists, GET
/clientapi/user/setup says so and POST takes a SetupForm (login, password, first persona): the login is made the
administrator with its persona, and setup closes for good (owner decision 2026-10-16: first come, first served, no setup
code).
ServerSetup is one document with a fixed id, so the first request to insert it wins and two setups at once make one
administrator. A setup that fails before its login is made gives the claim back; one that named an administrator never
does, whoever is demoted or deleted later, and the CLI stays the way back. admin promote and create-root --admin seal it
too, migration _018 seals a server that already had an administrator, and no backup holds it nor does a restore drop it,
since a restore tombstones an administrator made after the backup. Public sign-up, NodeInfo and the instance API are
unchanged. RootUser.SetAdmin is the one place an administrator is made (with isModerator, which IsAdminPolicy asks for),
and the invitation endpoints share InsertPersona with setup.
Tests: ServerSetupTests on the invitations-only host (setup, the race, failed setups, sign-up still closed, the CLI's
seal) and the migration; the whole suite passes (962). In the pasture, decePub's setup and invitation pages pass end to
end.

A root exports one of its personas (a job) as Mastodon's account archive, so other servers' importers read it: the
actor with its public key only, its own posts and boosts with their media, likes, bookmarks and Mastodon's CSV files,
plus PrivaPub's filters, followed hashtags, notification policy, pins, scheduled and located posts; nothing of its root,
its siblings, its keys or anyone's token. A ticket link downloads it, for a week.
An archive (PrivaPub's or Mastodon's) uploaded in pieces is imported into a persona in a job, the parts the root picks,
with progress and a stop. SafeArchive refuses links, escaping paths, duplicates, bombs and oversized items, and reads the
outbox one item at a time. Imported posts are delivered to no one, put in no home and notify nobody, yet show on the
profile, outbox, hashtags and search; back home a post keeps its id, from another actor it gets one of its date and
ImportedFromURI, so importing twice changes nothing. Relationships go through the existing services; located, scheduled
and likes only when asked; followers never.
tools/pasture/scenarios/persona-archive.sh imports mastouser's real Mastodon archive (156 posts, 24 pictures) into a
persona Mastodon follows: Mastodon receives none of it, and a second import changes nothing.

MediaAttachment.Size was stored and never summed: nobody, the administrator included, could tell what media took,
and nothing bounded it. Counted.Media and MediaOfRoot sum what is kept (not trashed). A login sees what its personas'
uploads and pictures take at /clientapi/user/storage (ViewStorage), with its quota when the server sets one;
Media:QuotaBytesPerRoot (0, no quota, by default) refuses an upload or a picture over it with 422, whichever persona
sends it; the statistics overview gains the media totals, the proxy cache and the trash (ViewMediaTotals). Tests: a
login's storage counts what its personas keep and forgets what is trashed; two uploads from two personas of one login
are refused together past the quota.

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.

- A remote `summary` is a content warning only on a Note or Question, or when `sensitive` is set. On Articles,
Events, Videos, Pages and Audio it is an excerpt (WordPress teasers, Mobilizon dates and places, Mbin titles) and
is now kept as `Post.Excerpt` instead of hiding the post. `Post.ObjectType` records the remote type, and the
Mastodon API shows a remote non-Note object's title above its body again.
- Persona usernames must match `^[a-z0-9_]+$`, as groups already did; a name outside it was unreachable from
Mastodon and Misskey.
- `postingRestrictedToMods` is defined in our JSON-LD context (Iceshrimp.NET drops undefined terms).
- `Vary: Accept` on actor and object URLs.
- Owner decision: blocks federate. A block sends `Block`, an unblock `Undo{Block}`; checked live against GoToSocial.
- Owner decision: a persona's and a group's `published`, and the day in new ids, is a random day up to two weeks
before creation, so personas made the same day no longer share a date. Migration _007 gives existing ones theirs.

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.
