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.

On a phone the Back button left the page under an open menu, sheet or dialog. An open overlay now says so (new
IDOverlayHost, cascaded by MainLayout; OverlayService keeps them newest last): DModal and DDropdown through the
cascade, so the D components stay free of app services, and the nav menu, PhoneSheet and the full-screen globe through
the service. MainLayout's location-changing handler lets Back close the newest overlay instead of leaving the page; a
link followed or the app's own navigation (signing out after its question, say) closes them all and goes on. Blazor
can't tell Back from the app's navigation, so a capture-phase popstate listener in main.js marks Back
(AppStatusService.TookBack). No history entries are pushed. Phone flow: Back closes the menu, a card's More sheet, the
composer and the full-screen globe one after another without leaving the feed, and with nothing open goes back.

On a phone the only way into a post's thread was a small Expand button (and now an entry in More), while a tap on the
post pinned it to a globe that is usually hidden there, outlining the card. Where the pointer can't hover, a tap on a
post that isn't on its links, controls or menus and doesn't end a text selection opens its thread through the card's
own thread link (main.js, data-thread on the card); cards are pinned to the globe with a mouse only. The globe's corner
stats have 12px text on touch. Phone flow: a tap in a post's margin opens its thread and pins nothing.

On a touch screen a nerd-stats tooltip showed only through the browser faking hover, unreliably, and couldn't be
scrolled. Where the pointer can't hover (AppStatusService.CanHover), a tap on a NerdTip now opens its rows in a sheet
from the bottom; the trigger is focusable, says it opens a dialog, and is at least 44px on touch. A closed tooltip takes
no room any more (daisyUI only made it transparent, and one past a card's edge made a phone's feed scroll sideways),
and on touch it never shows. The rows are a component of their own (NerdRows), at 12px on phones. A card's More menu
has a Details entry on phones that gathers the post's, its author's, its place's or CDN's and its counts' rows in one
sheet. A picture's tip doesn't open on a tap, the picture does.

Below xl every feed tab but the selected one was a lone icon with no name, for a screen reader or a finger. DTab takes
an AccessibleName, which DTabs renders as the tab's label and tooltip, and FeedTabs names each tab; on a phone every
tab shows its name too. The strip is marked as one that scrolls sideways (data-scroll-x), says it holds the feeds, and
on a phone fades at the edge where more tabs wait (edge-fade-x, a scroll-driven animation where the browser has one);
the selected tab is brought into view when it changes (window.revealActive). Explore's tabs get the same.

On a phone the globe is a banner above the feed; a tap on it now opens it full screen over everything, with a close
button (Escape closes it too), the focus moving to that button and back, and the feed underneath kept as it was but out
of reach (inert). The camera refits the new shape. Held sideways, a phone (a window at most 30rem tall, the new short:
variant) has no room for the banner: the banner and its toggle give way to a button that opens the globe full screen.
isMobileMedia, which picks the first visit's default, agrees with Tailwind's md now (it was off by one) and counts a
phone held sideways. GlobePanel tells its state (data-globe-state). Phone flows: the globe opens full screen and
closes, and a sideways phone keeps a feed at least 180px tall with no sideways scroll.

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.
