decePub opens PrivaPub's streaming API (one WebSocket for the persona, its
token given as the socket's protocol, never in a URL) and subscribes to the
stream of the feed in view: home, a list, local, federated, a hashtag or
notifications. New posts wait behind the "new" button as polled ones did;
a deletion or an edit applies at once. Polling stays for the feeds PrivaPub
does not stream and for any feed while the socket is down, which opens again
after a pause growing to a minute. The e2e test sees a post made elsewhere
in seconds and its deletion take the card away.

The composer's clock button gives a post a time (scheduled_at, at least five
minutes ahead; located and group posts have none), and /scheduled moves or
drops what waits. A hashtag's feed tab shows its week and follows it, so its
public posts come home. Explore (/explore) shows what PrivaPub says is
trending, hashtags, posts and links from public posts it holds, the
directory by activity or by joining, and the hashtags the persona follows.
DiscoveryService does the calls; the e2e tests check each against PrivaPub's
own answer.

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.

A persona's lists (PrivaPub's /api/v1/lists): made, renamed, given a
replies policy and made exclusive on /lists, filled from the accounts it
follows (accounts/search?following=true), and read as the feed's Lists tab.
A followed account's profile has a Lists menu to put it in or take it out.
ListService does the calls; the e2e tests check each step against
PrivaPub's own answer.

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.

The globe is a UV sphere: towards the poles its triangles narrow to
slivers, and texture coordinates interpolated across them pinched the
map into a star around each pole. Each pixel now computes its own
coordinates from its exact point on the sphere, with seam-safe mipmap
gradients; the map wraps horizontally and gets 8x anisotropic
filtering.
That showed a flaw in the day texture: NASA's mosaic has a lighter
strip at its east edge near the poles, a line from each pole once drawn
exactly. The day texture is now built from NASA's original Blue Marble
(December 2004) by tools/globe/prepare-day-texture.py, which blends
that strip into the map where both sides of the seam agree; same
4096x2048 size, provenance and hashes in SOURCES.md.
globe.gl redrew 60 times a second even when nothing moved; it now draws
only during camera flights, hover pulses, auto-rotation and the
reader's drags, so an idle globe costs no GPU time.

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.

AllStrings.resx was empty, so all 74 UI keys rendered as their own text. It now
holds every key the app uses, with English values. That includes:
- the members of the enums shown through Localizer[value.ToString()], such as
FollowersOnly and PlainText;
- the new toast, HttpService, ErrorViewer and Settings strings.
AllStrings.it.resx has the same keys in Italian.
ErrorMessages.resx gains MaxLength, with its Designer property, and an Italian
sibling. MessageForm's [StringLength] referenced that key, which didn't exist,
so failing that validation threw at runtime.
