The composer uploads each file as soon as it is attached (streamed from the browser file, under its own ten-minute
timeout), shows it uploading, processing (a 202 followed until ready), ready or failed with Retry, and cancels one
removed; publishing sends the ids, so a failed publish or a retried upload sends nothing twice. Size limits and types
come from /api/v2/instance, a file without a browser type gets one from its extension, and each refusal names the file
and why. Previews are 320 px thumbnails, not whole files in memory. A picture without a description is asked about once
("Publish anyway"; a setting turns it off), descriptions are sent with PUT, and an edit keeps the post's media, language
and sensitive flag.
Profile pictures are checked against the server's types and can be removed. A card shows "Media unavailable" with the
original's link when a picture fails, the blurhash behind a sensitive placeholder, and plays a GIF only on tap under
reduced motion. A failed export says so instead of downloading part of a file.

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.
