On a phone the card's action row was about 371px wide against a 228px text column, so the feed scrolled sideways and
More and Expand fell off the screen. Below md the author's picture moves from its own column into the card's header,
which gives the text, media and polls the whole width (288px at 360), and the actions are five equal cells: Reply,
Boost, Favourite, React and More. Bookmark and the thread are entries in More there; the downvotes, the counts icon and
Expand show from md. Counts are compacted on phones (1.2k, 12k, 1.2M, GenericExtensions.Compact). React and More open
as sheets from the bottom of the screen, the reactions as a grid of four. The author's name and handle stack and are
14px, the place badge is narrower, and "edited" and the booster's name have 44px hit areas; the booster's name opens
their profile in the app instead of their site. On touch the extra small buttons' text is 14px, and their hit area is
a full 44px (the ::after sits against the padding box, inside the border). Desktop keeps its row.

DModal draws a close button (✕, named by CloseText) beside its heading, in a header that stays in view while the box
scrolls; a long list of who liked a post left only the thin margins around the box to tap out of it. A new
ResponsiveBottom placement makes the box a sheet from the bottom below md and keeps it in the middle from md; the
report, liked-by and boosted-by, edit history and public notice dialogs use it. Boxes are at most 100dvh tall, so a
phone's browser bars don't cut them, and a bottom sheet leaves 3rem above itself and clears the home indicator. The
report dialog gets a Cancel button.

Under (pointer: coarse) only, so desktop keeps daisyUI's sizes: buttons, tabs, inputs and selects are 44px tall and
icon buttons and tabs 44px wide; extra small buttons and the badges that act are 36px with a transparent ::after that
gives them a 44px hit area, and the rows of reactions and hashtags leave 8px between them so those areas don't overlap.
Checkboxes and radios are 24px, toggles 28, range thumbs 28, and a toggle's or checkbox's label at least 44px tall. At
every width, the label of a checkbox, radio or toggle now wraps: daisyUI's .label never does, and long ones (Groups,
the profile editor, Settings) ran past a phone's edge.

Another's profile and posts can be reported from the client (/api/v1/reports): a category, words, and for a remote
account a copy to its server, which PrivaPub sends from its own actor, never naming the persona. Who liked or boosted
a post opens from its card's menu (favourited_by, reblogged_by). e2e: a report from a Mastodon account's profile
reaches PrivaPub's moderators forwarded, and a post's likes and boosts list the persona who gave them; the admin
helper the tests share moves to Support.

The card marks an edited post with a button that opens its versions, newest first (/statuses/:id/history), each with
its time, warning and words; PrivaPub now has a remote post's earlier versions from Pleroma's formerRepresentations
too. The composer's e2e test opens the history after its edit. The wall test retries smuser's post while Smithereen
has not yet had the persona's Accept.

PrivaPub hosts what a persona's followers write on its wall (Smithereen's, FEP-400e) and shows posts written on walls
elsewhere to their owners' followers. A card names the wall (privapub.wall, data-wall, linking the profile), and one
written on the persona's own wall is taken off from the card's menu, which PrivaPub tells as a Remove and Smithereen
applies as a deletion. WallTests checks it against Smithereen.

An Article or a Page with its title, or a titled post longer than a few paragraphs (WriteFreely sends its posts as Notes
with a name), shows its cover, its excerpt and a Read button in a feed, and its whole text on demand; the post opened
in its thread shows whole. A feed of Ghost, WordPress and WriteFreely long reads stays a feed. tests/e2e ArticleTests
checks it with a WriteFreely blog; the render matrix still passes (70).

A profile shows the posts the account pins above its posts (pinned=true: for an account elsewhere, what it features,
which PrivaPub now keeps); the persona pins and unpins its own public and unlisted posts from the card's menu, and
PrivaPub tells its followers. tests/e2e/Actions/PinTests.cs pins from the card and finds the post first on the profile;
the whole e2e suite passes against the reseeded village (122, 4 skipped).

A Perf test (tests/e2e/Perf/FeedPerfTests, Category=Perf) scrolls load0's
home, thousands of posts from SocialPub's load runs, to 2000 posts. Before:
100 cards took 12 s to reach, 1000 took 437 s, 2000 took 29 minutes; the
main thread was busy almost all of that time, and the page held 224 000 DOM
nodes and 920 MB of .NET heap. Every card re-rendered whenever the list did.
- A card re-renders only when its own events run or its render key changes
(Content.RenderKey: the post, its status, notification, conversation,
place and grouping, where it is shown, the persona and the connection).
2000 cards then took 122 s.
- The list is a <Virtualize>: only the cards near the view are rendered.
The page now holds about 3 000 DOM nodes and 145 MB however long the feed
is, and each page of older posts costs the same (about 1.9 s in the test's
scroll loop) at the 100th post as at the 1700th. The feed tells how many
posts it holds in data-feed-count.

What other platforms send now shows as they meant it:
- custom emoji (a post's or account's :shortcode:) as their pictures in
posts, names, content warnings, bios and fields: only the shortcodes the
server listed, only http(s) pictures, never inside a tag, the shortcode
kept as alt text;
- a threadiverse post's downvotes next to its favourites;
- blurhash placeholders until a picture loads (wwwroot/js/blurhash.js, a
small decoder that watches the page), and a picture's focal point;
- an event's online link, participants and capacity, and whether it is
tentative or cancelled.

PrivaPub lets a persona join another server's event (owner decision
2026-10-05). The card of a remote event shows the persona's participation
(pending, accepted, rejected) with Join or Leave, except for events by
invitation or taken on another site. Joining is public on the event's
server, so the first join asks the persona once, as reactions and votes do,
remembered apart from them (PublicAct).
The e2e joins the event SocialPub's Mobilizon scenario keeps, checks the
participant on Mobilizon and PrivaPub's answer, and leaves it.

GoToSocial lets an author approve replies, likes and boosts first. PrivaPub now asks that author and marks the
persona's reply or boost privapub.approval: pending until the answer, or rejected; the card shows which, with an
hourglass or a cross. One the policy shuts out is refused (422) and shown as the error it is.

Settings, which held only the theme, now belong to the persona too:
- its profile (update_credentials, a new PATCH in IHttpService): pictures,
name, biography and fields as written, locked, bot, discoverable,
indexable, and how its posts start (visibility, language, sensitive
media, who may quote them); the composer starts at that visibility;
- the root's personas, each used in turn, and a new one made;
- the accounts it muted or blocked and the servers it blocked, each undone
there, a server blocked from a pasted address or handle;
- its follows, lists, blocks, mutes, blocked servers and bookmarks exported
and imported as the CSV files Mastodon writes (PortabilityService): an
import resolves each row through PrivaPub, one at a time, and can stop.
Administration opens to moderators: reports, resolved there; and for
administrators the servers blocked for everyone and the federation
statistics (traffic by server, delivery success and latency, the crawler).
The Direct tab pages conversations, badges the unread ones, and a card
marks one read or takes it off the list; opening one reads it.
A remote thread is read again 4 and 15 seconds after it opens, since
PrivaPub then fetches the replies its servers hold. A thread its
community locked shows a lock instead of a reply button, reactions stay
visible below a content warning, and a searched handle opens its
account's profile whatever else matched.
The e2e tests cover each: the profile saved and read back, a persona made,
servers blocked and imported, follows exported, an instance block and the
statistics as the pasture's admin, a conversation read and removed, and a
reply only Mastodon held appearing in its thread.

The composer can hold a poll instead of media (two to four choices, a
length, one choice or several), quote a post (offered on a card when the
server says the persona may quote it), and edit the persona's own post: its
words and warning come from /source, and saving keeps its media,
visibility and poll. A card's menu offers Edit and Quote, and now opens
sideways: upwards, the first card's menu was cut off by the top of the
feed. The e2e tests publish a poll, edit a post and quote it, each checked
on PrivaPub.

The Notifications tab reads grouped notifications (/api/v2/notifications):
likes and boosts of one post, or follows of one hour, are one card naming
both accounts of a pair, or the newest and how many others, with their
avatars. A notification the stream tells joins its group and waits on top.
The tab's badge counts what is unread; opening the tab moves the
notifications marker to the newest shown, which reads it on PrivaPub.

The persona's filters (PrivaPub's /api/v2/filters): made, given words and
whole-word rules, contexts, an action and an expiry on /filters (linked from
Settings), and deleted; posts filtered one by one can be taken out. Every
status says which filters it matches; each page tells its cards where they
are (home and lists, notifications, public feeds, the thread around the
opened post, profiles), and a card leaves its post out (hide), folds it
behind the filter's title with a way to show it anyway (warn), or blurs its
media (blur). The e2e test folds and then hides a post of the persona's own.

tests/e2e (Playwright for .NET 1.61.0 on xunit v3, the Chromium 1228 already
cached, never downloaded, never in CI) runs the published app against
SocialPub's pasture and its town: run.sh publishes it with the Pasture
environment (wwwroot/appsettings.Pasture.json, published only then; the
deploy fails if it ever ships) and serves it as https://decepub.test. The
tests sign in through the real login page and persona chooser, check that
every request goes only to decepub.test and privapub.test with the right
credential on the right API, render one post of each kind from each
platform as its author wrote it, and check every action on the other
side of the wire (town.sh stored): favourites, boosts and replies with
their undoing, follows from a profile, votes, reactions. Each test is also
a cell of the town's report (out/client.jsonl). They found two PrivaPub
bugs fixed there (a blocked author's status answered null; sensitive
remote media invented a content warning) and a reply addressed to nobody.
New in the app, all checked by those tests:
- profiles at /account/{id}: header, bio, fields, counts, the account's
posts as posts, posts and replies, or media, and follow, unfollow,
cancel a request, mute and block (AccountService); post authors and
notifications open them in the app;
- search at /search: accounts, posts and hashtags, a handle or an address
resolved by PrivaPub;
- poll voting on the card, and emoji reactions shown and given with one
tap; before a persona's first reaction or vote it is told once that
both are public (PublicNoticeService, the owner's decision);
- follow requests answered from their notification.

The Sun lights the globe where it really is (wwwroot/js/sun.js, the Astronomical Almanac's low-precision solar
coordinates): the day map shaded by the Sun's height and the Earth–Sun distance, warm city lights on the night side,
and a twilight blend about 13° wide between them. It shows now, refreshed every 30 s, or the moment of the hovered,
focused or pinned post: a click on a card pins it, and the subsolar point travels there the shorter way round. The
panel's top corner shows that moment, the phase of the day and solar time at the post's place, and the season in its
hemisphere (or in both, for a post without a place). Its tooltip shows the subsolar point, declination, axial tilt,
distance, irradiance, day length and the next equinox or solstice.
Land borders are thin paths. Country names are in the reader's language and appear as the camera comes closer:
largest countries first, away from the globe's edge, never overlapping. They come from world-atlas 2.0.2 (Natural
Earth 1:50m), prepared by tools/globe/prepare-countries.py, and are vendored with their hashes in SOURCES.md.

A post whose server is behind a CDN has no place of its own: the globe
groups such posts per CDN in labels on a ring above the Arctic, and
hovering one draws its arc to the CDN's group and a ring where the
server was before the CDN. The card's CDN chip names the CDN, its
domain, how PrivaPub found it (published ranges, response headers or
network), the place before the CDN and the CDN's servers week by week
(/api/privapub/v1/cdns/:domain); the author's tooltip lists the server's
changes of place and CDN week by week (/instances/:host/history). Both
are read on the first hover and kept for the session.

One sign-in for both of PrivaPub's APIs: the root logs in on /clientapi,
picks a persona, and each persona gets its own Mastodon token in
exchange for the JWT (PersonaExchange). HttpService picks credentials
and JSON by route (JWT and camelCase for /clientapi, the persona token
and snake_case for /api, nothing for /oauth), retries a refused persona
token once, and records every request for the nerd stats.
The feed page is three columns: navigation with a persona switcher, the
feed with a tab per kind (home, local, federated, nearby, communities
and circles, direct, notifications, favourites, bookmarks, hashtags),
and a 3D globe that looks at the spherical mean of the posts in view
and draws a pulse and an arc to a hovered one. Posts sit at their own
place, their event's venue, the reader (located posts) or their
author's server as PrivaPub publishes it. Cards favourite, boost,
bookmark, reply, mute, block and delete; the composer posts with a
content warning, visibility, media and alt text, or as a located post.
Older pages load as the end nears; newer ones are polled while visible.
Nerd stats in tooltips: provenance, author and server, place, media,
counts, paging, the globe's camera and frame rate.
The mock (Faker, MessagesService, the Message models and store) and the
OIDC template leftovers are gone. Strings in English and Italian.

Ported from the owner's b2b.next and adapted from MudBlazor to the daisyUI
components:
- LocalizableComponentBase provides CascadingState, Navigation, Toast,
IsLoading/IsDefaultDisabled, WhenOnline/StartOnlinePolling, and after-render
jobs that actually run.
- CascadingState starts with initialised state and polls the online status
with a PeriodicTimer. It reports errors through ILoggingService plus a toast,
and disposes what it holds.
- New pieces:
- ToastService + ToastHost, the snackbar, with AddResponseError/Success/
Warning/Exception in SUtility;
- ErrorViewer, which shows the validation messages plus AdditionalError(s);
- LoggingService, which writes to the console and the IndexedDB client log.
- HttpService is rebuilt and registered:
- auth levels Get/Post/Delete, *Anon and *TotallyAnon;
- retry with backoff;
- classified failures (FailureCodes) instead of exceptions;
- HTTP 410 on cancel;
- the "default" client.
ReadWebResult and DefaultReadFromJsonAsync read its responses.
- ClientJsonContext is source-generated, and SUtility.DefaultSerializer and
Blazored.LocalStorage use it.
- WebResult gains a C# 14 IsInvalid extension property.
The code follows the imported rules:
- Every service and async helper takes a CancellationToken last.
- Primary constructors replace constructor-plus-fields.
- MessagesService and IStorage return Task<WebResult> / Task<List<T>>.
MessagesService is still mock, building its results in memory; the seed
feed and thread moved to Faker.
- Index and ExpandMessage follow the page pattern: an offline guard with
WhenOnline, LoadData, and early returns with toasts on the results they used
to ignore. ExpandMessage reloads on route change and shows "not found"
instead of a null message.
- Model and state collections are [], and the fake identity defaults moved
out of the models.
- Components:
- no ?. chains over initialised state;
- [Inject] instead of @inject;
- IsDefaultDisabled on the actions;
- autocomplete on every text input;
- Localizer[key, args] instead of string.Format;
- the localizer no longer leaks its inner _pLocalizer.
- Settings → General gains a language picker (English/Italiano), and
SetDefaultCulture limits the culture to those two.
Bugs fixed along the way:
- A compose with untouched (null) content passed the empty check.
- File errors were joined with <br/> and rendered as markup.
- ClientLogs.ErrorMessage() threw on warnings.
- CoalescingStringLocalizer[key, args] showed a raw "{0}" for missing keys.
- AppStatusService exposed a call to a JS function that doesn't exist.

The pages and components now use the daisyUI wrappers and the neo-* utilities
instead of Bulma and the neomorph classes:
- buttons are DButton, with pressed states as Active;
- nav links are btn / btn-active;
- the filter and composer selects are DSelect with a prefix icon;
- the composer's fields are DInput and DTextarea;
- the message options and scope pickers are DDropdown, which now close on an
outside click and on Escape;
- the settings and admin sections are DCollapse;
- the dark-mode switch is a DToggle with sun and moon icons;
- the hue slider is a DRange on the rainbow track.
DropdownButton, OpenDownContainer and LoadingData are gone. The loader is
DLoading, whose animation runs; the old one's keyframes were never defined.
Icons coloured with Bulma's has-text-* now get daisyUI's text-info, success,
warning and error, which had no rules before.
Tailwind 3 to 4 fixes:
- space-x/y become gap, which also handles the flex-col-reverse feeds;
- !rounded-lg becomes rounded-lg!;
- drop-shadow becomes drop-shadow-sm;
- text-md becomes text-base.
The thread page marks its message with Content's new Highlighted parameter
rather than a second shadow size.
neo.css: a select's prefix icon gets the room daisyUI leaves for a span.label,
and the inner select lets the well show through.
