# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## What this is

decePubClient is a Blazor WebAssembly PWA (.NET 10). It is meant as a Pleroma-FE-like client for **PrivaPub**, the
owner's ActivityPub server, whose repo is `thepra/SocialPub`. It is deployed as a static site at
https://decepub.thepra.dev, and its API base address is `https://privapub.thepra.dev`
(`AppConfiguration:ApiBaseAddress` in `wwwroot/appsettings.json`).

It talks to PrivaPub through both of its APIs with one sign-in (see **PrivaPub wiring** below). The feed page has three
columns: navigation, the feed with a tab per kind of feed, and a 3D globe that follows the posts in view. Nerd stats sit
in tooltips wherever there is data. Development builds point at a local PrivaPub on `http://127.0.0.1:6970`
(`wwwroot/appsettings.Development.json`, never published).

`Docs/Insomnia_APIs.json` is an old API collection for a localhost backend. Don't treat it as PrivaPub's API.

## Sibling repo dependency

The project references `../SocialPub/PrivaPub.ClientModels/PrivaPub.ClientModels.csproj`, so SocialPub must be
checked out next to this repo. CI clones it there. That project supplies:
- the shared DTOs;
- `Policies` (IsAdmin, IsUser, IsModerator);
- the `FieldsNameResource` and `ErrorsResource` localization resources.

Before wiring anything to the API, read `../SocialPub/CLAUDE.md`. PrivaPub's route names (`/peasants/...`, `/mouth`,
`/anus`, ...) are deliberate. Never "correct" them. The API surface is the Mastodon client API plus PrivaPub's private
`/clientapi` and `/api/privapub/v1`.

To run against a local PrivaPub: start a mongod, run SocialPub's `PrivaPub` with the Development command in its
CLAUDE.md on `127.0.0.1:6970` (`Registrations__Mode=Open` lets `/clientapi/user/signup` create a root), then create
personas with `/clientapi/avatar/private/insert`. Federated posts come from SocialPub's pasture
(`tools/pasture/run.sh up gts akkoma`, then `tools/pasture/interop.sh gts akkoma`), whose API is `127.0.0.1:6971`.
Neither DB-IP nor PrivaPub locate private addresses, so for the globe set `RemoteInstance.Geo` in mongo and
`Statistics:Geo:Self` in PrivaPub's configuration.

## Commands

```sh
dotnet build decePubClient.csproj                      # what CI runs (-c Release) on every push to master and on PRs
dotnet run                                             # dev server: https://localhost:7046 / http://localhost:5046
dotnet publish decePubClient.csproj -c Release -o publish   # static site lands in publish/wwwroot
```

`global.json` pins SDK 10.0.100 with `rollForward: latestFeature`. There is no linter.

## Testing: end to end against the pasture

`tests/e2e` (Playwright for .NET 1.61.0 on xunit v3) runs the published app in Chromium against SocialPub's pasture: a
private fediverse of PrivaPub and its peers (GoToSocial, Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Akkoma, Lemmy) seeded with a fake
community, the town (see `../SocialPub/CLAUDE.md`, "The town"). Never in CI: it needs podman and the pasture.

```sh
../SocialPub/tools/pasture/run.sh up gts mastodon misskey sharkey akkoma lemmy   # PASTURE_PORT if 6971 is taken
../SocialPub/tools/pasture/town.sh seed village
tests/e2e/run.sh [--filter ...]   # publishes with WasmApplicationEnvironmentName=Pasture, serves https://decepub.test, runs
```

- **The app under test is the deploy's own build** with the environment baked in: Blazor on .NET 10 ignores the
  `Blazor-Environment` header, so `wwwroot/appsettings.Pasture.json` (API `https://privapub.test`) is chosen at publish
  time and published only then; the deploy fails if it ever ships.
- Chromium resolves `*.test` to Caddy on `127.0.0.1:6443` (`--host-resolver-rules`) and ignores the pasture CA. The
  tests use the Chromium headless shell 1228 cached in `~/.cache/ms-playwright` and never install a browser.
- **Guards on every test** (`Support/Browser.cs`): the app talks only to its own site and to PrivaPub, a root JWT never
  goes to `/api` nor a persona token to `/clientapi`, no 5xx, no Blazor error bar.
- **The tests ask the town** (`Support/Pasture.cs`) which accounts exist and what each object holds (`town.sh expect`),
  and check the other side of the wire through `town.sh stored`. Each render and action test is also a cell of the
  town's report (`out/client.jsonl`).
- Cards carry `data-uri` (their ActivityPub id) and the empty feed `data-feed-empty`, for the tests.
- The root project globs `**/*.cs`, so it excludes `tests/**` (`DefaultItemExcludes`), and Tailwind does not scan it.

## CSS: Tailwind 4 + daisyUI 5, vendored, offline

`Styles/app.css` is compiled into `wwwroot/css/app.css` by the Tailwind CSS standalone binary with the daisyUI
plugin. `app.css` is gitignored and regenerated on every build.

**Nothing in the build or the CI may download from github.com.** Tools live in the repo, and the CSS build runs
without network access. NuGet restore still uses nuget.org.
- `tools/tailwind/` holds the pinned tools:
  - Tailwind 4.3.3 as `tailwindcss-linux-x64.xz`;
  - daisyUI 5.7.47 (`daisyui.mjs`, `daisyui-theme.mjs`);
  - daisyUI's component reference, `daisyui-llms.txt`.
- `.gitattributes` keeps these files byte-exact.
- `tools/tailwind.sh prepare` checks them against the sha256 values pinned in the script, and unpacks the binary into
  the gitignored `.tools/tailwind/`. It needs `xz`.
- Only linux-x64 is vendored.
- The script's header explains how to upgrade or add a platform.
- The `TailwindCompile` target in the csproj runs it, so `dotnet build` / `publish` are enough, in CI as well. Debug
  builds use `--optimize`, Release builds `--minify`. Pass `-p:SkipTailwind=true` to skip it.
- `IncludeTailwindOutput` adds the generated file to `Content` before static web assets are resolved. Without that, a
  clean-clone publish would ship `app.css` without its `.gz`/`.br` copies and outside `service-worker-assets.js`.
  The deploy workflow checks for `css/app.css.gz`.
- `bash tools/tailwind.sh watch` rebuilds the CSS live next to `dotnet watch`.
- Tailwind scans every file `.gitignore` doesn't exclude (minus `tools/`, `wwwroot/vendor/`, `Docs/`), and only
  generates the classes it finds written out **whole**. Never build a class name by concatenation or interpolation (`"btn-" + size`, `$"btn-{size}"`). Write
  every variant as a literal, e.g. in a switch arm.

Ionicons 4.5 (`wwwroot/vendor/ionicons.min.css`, `<i class="ion-md-...">`) is loaded as its own stylesheet.

## Theme and neumorphism

- `Styles/theme.css` holds two daisyUI themes, `neo-light` (default) and `neo-dark` (`prefersdark`). Every colour
  is an `hsl()` of `--neo-hue-light` / `--neo-hue-dark` / `--neo-chroma` (0 for the grey themes).
- `wwwroot/js/theme.js` sets those variables and `data-theme` on `<html>` from `PageSettings`. It runs in `<head>`
  from localStorage, so there is no flash before Blazor boots. After that, CascadingState calls it through
  `AppStatusService.ApplyTheme` whenever the settings change. With `PreferSystemTheming` it leaves `data-theme` off,
  and the OS decides.
- Change the theme flags through `PageSettings.SetDarkMode` / `SetGray` / `SetHue` and
  `CascadingState.UpdatePageSettings`, which keep the flags consistent:
  - choosing light or dark leaves system theming;
  - picking a hue leaves grey.
- `AppStatusService.IsDarkTheme()` tells which variant is showing.
- Settings → General edits every theme setting. NavMenu's toggle and slider are shortcuts to the dark and hue ones.
  The other sections of Settings belong to the persona (see **Settings** under PrivaPub wiring).
- `Styles/neo.css` holds the neumorphic layer:
  - `neo-raised` / `neo-inset` / `neo-flat`, with sizes `neo-2xs` / `neo-xs` / `neo-sm` / `neo-md` (these replace the
    old `neomorph is-nxsmall` classes);
  - `neo-gradient(-pressed)` and `neo-hue-track`;
  - `@utility <daisy-component>` overrides that give btn, input, select, card, … the neo look. daisyUI puts its rules
    in sublayers of `utilities`, so these overrides beat **every** daisyUI rule. Each override must exclude the
    daisyUI variants it shouldn't touch, e.g. `:not(:where(.btn-ghost, .btn-link, ...))`, and call sites drop a neo
    shadow with `shadow-none!`.
- Never write `@utility collapse`. It brings back Tailwind's own `collapse` utility (`visibility: collapse`), and
  every collapse disappears.

## daisyUI Blazor components (`Components/Daisy/`)

Every daisyUI component has a `D`-prefixed wrapper (`DButton`, `DModal`, `DDropdown`, `DInput`, ...), grouped by
daisyUI's categories into folders whose namespaces are imported in `_Imports.razor`. `/styleguide` (not linked) renders
all of them in every theme. When you add or change one:
- Map each enum to its classes in a switch with whole literal class names.
- Value-holding fields derive from `DInputBase<TValue>`, Blazor's `InputBase`, so `@bind-Value` and EditForm
  validation work. Everything else derives from `DComponentBase` (`Class`, pass-through attributes, `Cx(...)`).
- Open/active state lives in C# (`@bind-IsOpen`, `@bind-Active`) and is rendered with daisyUI's `*-open` modifier
  classes. No JS interop.
  - What daisyUI does with scripts has a script-free equivalent here: `DCheckbox.Indeterminate` renders
    `aria-checked="mixed"`, and `DCarousel`'s navigation links to the slides' ids, which Blazor scrolls to.
  - `DCalendar` is the one exception: it wraps the vendored Cally web component (`wwwroot/vendor/cally.js`).
- Images and links in `/styleguide` stay local (`wwwroot/imgs/styleguide/`).
- Don't name a parameter after an HTML attribute (`Title`, `Style`, `Id`, `Label`, ...). Blazor matches attributes
  to parameters without regard to case, so the parameter would swallow the attribute.
- Components don't use `Localizer` or `CascadingState`; their user-visible strings are parameters.

## Architecture

**Startup (`Program.cs`).**
- DI registration happens here.
- The named `HttpClient` "default" uses `ApiBaseAddress` as its base address. It falls back to the host's base
  address when that setting is empty.
- `SetDefaultCulture()` (`Extensions/ExtensionMethods.cs`) runs before the app starts. It picks the culture from the
  saved `PublicCacheData`, or on a first visit from the browser language.
- Only English (`en-GB`) and Italian (`it-IT`) have resources; any other language gets English.
- Settings → General changes the language, saves it, and reloads the app.

**`LayerComponents/CascadingState.razor`** wraps the router in `App.razor`. It is the app-wide state object. It handles:
- `PublicCacheData` (page settings: theme colours, dark/light/system theming, language), persisted in localStorage;
- the theme, applied through `AppStatusService.ApplyTheme` (`wwwroot/js/theme.js`);
- `IsOnline` / `IsOffline`, polled every 10 seconds;
- the session: `IsSignedIn`, `Personas` (the root's), `PersonaId` and `Persona` (its Mastodon `Account`), with
  `LoadSession`, `SwitchPersona` and `SignOut`. A persona change re-renders every subscriber; pages compare
  `PersonaId` and reload what belongs to the persona. The JWT is renewed hourly when needed;
- `ProcessError` / `ProcessWarning`, which log through `ILoggingService` and show a toast;
- `LogFromJs`, which JS calls back into through a `DotNetObjectReference`.

**Components and pages** inherit `LocalizableComponentBase`, the equivalent of b2b.next's `WidmannComponentBase`. It
supplies:
- `CascadingState`, `Localizer`, `Navigation` and `Toast`;
- `IsLoading`, which starts true, and `IsDefaultDisabled`;
- `AfterRenderAsyncJobs`, run once after the next render;
- `WhenOnline` / `StartOnlinePolling`.

`PagesBase` is an empty subclass of it that nothing uses. Never redeclare the base's members in a component.

**UI feedback.**
- `Services/ToastService.cs` is the snackbar: the SUtility extensions `AddResponseError(WebResult)` (silent on
  410/cancelled; connectivity failures show as warnings), `AddResponseError(string)`, `AddResponseSuccess` (closes
  after 5 s), `AddWarning` and `AddException`. `Components/ToastHost.razor`, placed in `MainLayout`, shows the
  messages.
- `Components/ErrorViewer.razor` shows in-page errors: the cascading `EditContext`'s validation messages,
  `AdditionalError` and `AdditionalErrors`.

**HTTP (`Services/IHttpService.cs`).**
- Routes are constants in `Models/APIs.cs` (b2b.next naming: `GET_`/`POST_`/`DELETE_`, `_M_` for routes built from
  parameters), relative to `ApiBaseAddress`.
- The route picks the credentials: `clientapi/` sends the root's JWT, `api/` the current persona's Mastodon token
  (exchanged when missing, exchanged once more and retried when PrivaPub refuses it), `oauth/` nothing.
- It also picks the JSON: `SUtility.MastodonSerializer` (snake_case, `MastodonJsonContext`) for `api/` and `oauth/`,
  `SUtility.DefaultSerializer` (camelCase, enums by name like PrivaPub, `ClientJsonContext`) for `clientapi/`. A payload
  can be an object (JSON), name/value pairs (a form) or a `Func<HttpContent>` (multipart), built once per attempt.
- Auth levels: `Get` / `Post` / `Put` / `Patch` / `Delete` need credentials and end the session when PrivaPub refuses
  them; `GetAnon` / `PostAnon` add them when there are some; `*TotallyAnon` send none (the login must not carry a JWT:
  PrivaPub redirects it).
- `retryOnError` backoff: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 29 s, then 60 s, for at most 10 minutes.
- Failures never throw. They come back as responses carrying an invalid `WebResult`, with an `ErrorCode` from
  `Models/FailureCodes.cs`; a cancelled request comes back as HTTP 410.
- Read failures with `ReadWebResult` (it understands `WebResult`, validation ProblemDetails and Mastodon's
  `{"error": ...}`) and bodies with `DefaultReadFromJsonAsync` / `MastodonReadFromJsonAsync`; a body that doesn't fit
  comes back as the default and is written to the browser console. `PageCursors()` reads `max_id`/`min_id` from `Link`.
- Every request PrivaPub answers is recorded in `RequestStats` (method, route template, status, duration, size, rate
  limit headers; never a body or a token), for the nerd stats.
- PrivaPub's `WebResult` gets `IsInvalid` from `Extensions/WebResultExtensions.cs`, a C# 14 extension property.

**PrivaPub wiring.**
- **One sign-in** (`Services/AuthService.cs`, `Pages/Login.razor`): the root signs in on `/clientapi/user/login`, then
  each persona the client uses gets its own Mastodon token in exchange for the JWT (PrivaPub's `PersonaExchange`,
  RFC 8693 on `/oauth/token`, first-party client id `AppConfiguration:ClientId`). `AuthData` keeps the JWT and the
  persona tokens; logout revokes every persona token, then forgets the session and IndexedDB.
- **Services** (`Services/`): `TimelineService` (every feed as `FeedPage`s of `FeedPost`s, paged by `max_id`/`min_id`;
  circles are read as ids from `/clientapi` and hydrated through `/api/v1/statuses?id[]=`; located posts come from
  `/clientapi/post/nearby` and have no Mastodon actions), `StatusService` (publish, favourite, boost, bookmark, delete,
  threads, mute, block, poll votes, emoji reactions through Pleroma's `/api/v1/pleroma/statuses/:id/reactions`;
  located and group posts go through `/clientapi/post/insert`), `AccountService` (profiles, relationships, follow,
  block, mute, follow requests, `/api/v2/search`, whose handles and URLs PrivaPub resolves), `ListService` (the
  persona's lists and their members; members are only accounts it follows, found with `accounts/search?following=true`),
  `FilterService` (the persona's v2 filters, their keywords and filtered posts), `DiscoveryService` (hashtags and
  following them, trends, the directory), `PortabilityService` (Mastodon's CSV exports and imports), `AdminService`
  (`/clientapi/moderator` and `/clientapi/admin`), `MediaService` (uploads), `GroupService`, `InstanceService` and
  `ProvenanceService`.
- **Reactions and votes are public** (owner decision, PrivaPub's ROADMAP): before a persona's first reaction or poll
  vote, `PublicNoticeService` asks it once (`PublicNoticeHost` in `MainLayout`) and remembers the persona in
  localStorage (`PublicActionNotices`). Anything else that makes a persona's act visible to others gets the same notice.
- **Profiles and search** (`Pages/Profile.razor` at `/account/{id}`, `Pages/Search.razor` at `/search?q=`): a card's
  author and a notification's account open the profile in the app; "Open original" is the only way to the remote site.
  A card in a fixed-height flex column with `overflow-hidden` needs `flex-none`, or it collapses to nothing.
- **Lists** (`Pages/Lists.razor` at `/lists`): made, renamed, given a replies policy and made exclusive (their members
  leave the home feed) there, filled from the accounts the persona follows; a followed account's profile has a Lists
  menu too. A list is read as the feed's Lists tab (`FeedFilter.ListId`). Lists never leave PrivaPub.
- **Filters** (`Pages/Filters.razor` at `/filters`, linked from Settings): PrivaPub marks every status with the filters it
  matches (`Status.Filtered`), whatever their context; a page tells each card where it is (`Content.FilterIn`: home and
  lists, notifications, public feeds, threads around the opened post, profiles; none for favourites, bookmarks,
  conversations and search), and the card leaves the post out (hide), folds it behind the filter's title (warn) or blurs
  its media (blur).
- **The composer** (`Components/Composer.razor`) writes a post, a reply (`InReplyTo`), a quote (`Quoting`, offered on a
  card when the server says the persona may quote it) or an edit of the persona's own post (`Editing`: its words and
  warning from `/source`, a PUT that keeps its media, visibility and poll); a post can hold a poll instead of media.
- **Threads** (`Pages/ExpandMessage.razor` at `/expand/{id}`): opening a remote thread makes PrivaPub read its replies
  from their servers (its FEP-7888 `context`, else `replies`), so the page reads the thread again after 4 and 15 seconds
  and adds what was found, in the thread's order.
- **Interaction policies** (GoToSocial's): a reply or boost whose target's author must approve it shows so on its card
  (`privapub.approval`: pending, then nothing once approved, or rejected); one the policy shuts out is refused by
  PrivaPub (422) and shown as an error.
- **Settings** (`Pages/Settings.razor`, `Components/Settings/`): the persona's profile (`ProfileEditor`:
  `update_credentials` as multipart, its words as written from `Account.Source`, pictures, fields, locked, bot,
  discoverable, indexable and posting defaults; the composer starts a new post at its default visibility), its mutes,
  blocks and blocked servers (`MutesAndBlocks`), and `DataTransfer`: follows, lists, blocks, mutes, blocked servers
  and bookmarks exported and imported as the CSV files Mastodon writes, so a persona moves between servers. An import
  resolves each row through PrivaPub and acts one row at a time; it can be stopped.
- **Administration** (`Pages/Administration.razor`, `Components/Admin/`, for moderators): reports, then for
  administrators the servers blocked for everyone and the federation statistics. PrivaPub has no admin list of users,
  and adding an admin endpoint waits for the owner, so the Users section stays empty.
- **Scheduled posts** (`Pages/Scheduled.razor` at `/scheduled`): the composer's clock button gives a Mastodon API post a
  time (`scheduled_at`, at least five minutes ahead; located and group posts have none); the page moves or drops them.
- **Explore** (`Pages/Explore.razor` at `/explore`): trending hashtags, posts and links (PrivaPub's, from public posts
  it holds), the directory, and the hashtags the persona follows. A hashtag's feed tab follows it too.
- **Mastodon DTOs** are client-side, in `Models/Mastodon/` (snake_case). `/clientapi` DTOs come from
  `PrivaPub.ClientModels`.
- **Where a post is** (`InstanceService.Locate`, `Models/FeedPost.cs`): its own place (Pixelfed's, `privapub.place`),
  its event's venue, the reader for a located post, its author's server (to 0.1°, or a point in its country from
  `Helpers/CountryPoints.cs` when DB-IP located it only to a country), or, for a CDN-fronted server, its CDN's group
  (`LocationSource.Cdn`: no point, a `CdnKey` and the place `Before` the CDN). Server descriptions are cached a day in
  localStorage (`ServerInfos`); a server's weekly history (`/instances/:host/history`) and a CDN's page (`/cdns/:key`)
  are read on the first hover and kept for the session. PrivaPub's own host is the signed-in persona's account host,
  since the API may be reached under another name.
- **The feed page** (`Pages/Index.razor`): `FeedTabs`, `Content` (the card, which does its own actions), `Composer`,
  `GlobePanel`. Older pages load as the end comes near (`wwwroot/js/feed.js`). Newer ones come through PrivaPub's
  streaming API (`Services/StreamingService.cs`: one WebSocket, the persona's token as its protocol, never in a URL)
  for home, lists, local, federated, hashtags and notifications, and wait behind a "new" button; a deletion or an edit
  it tells applies at once. Other feeds, and any feed while the stream is down, are polled every 45 s while visible.
- **The globe** (`wwwroot/js/globe.js`, an ES module imported by `GlobePanel`) runs on globe.gl, vendored in
  `wwwroot/vendor/globe/` with its textures and `countries.json` (`SOURCES.md` has versions, licences and hashes; the
  service worker never precaches it). It looks at the spherical mean of the located posts in view, pulses and draws an
  arc to a hovered post, honours `prefers-reduced-motion`, and draws only while something moves (idle, it costs no GPU
  time; `wake()` before anything that animates).
  - **Map.** Each pixel computes its own map coordinates from its point on the sphere (`sharpen`), so the poles don't
    pinch; the maps wrap horizontally and get 8× anisotropic filtering (`keepSharp`). The day texture is NASA's, its
    seam repaired by `tools/globe/prepare-day-texture.py` (dev-only, needs Pillow).
  - **Sun.** `wwwroot/js/sun.js` (pure functions of a date: the subsolar point, Earth–Sun distance, seasons, a place's
    elevation, phase of the day, solar time and day length) lights the globe in the shader: the day map shaded by the
    Sun's height and distance, city lights on the night side, a twilight blend between. It shows now (refreshed every
    30 s), or the moment of the hovered, focused or pinned post (`data-post-at` on the card; a click pins a card,
    `data-globe-pinned`), and tells `GlobePanel` through `SunChanged`, which shows the moment, the phase and the season
    in the panel's top corner. The theme changes only the atmosphere and the points.
  - **Countries.** Land borders as thin paths, and names placed by `placeLabels`: largest countries first, once they
    span enough pixels, away from the globe's edge and clear of each other, in the reader's language
    (`Intl.DisplayNames`). `countries.json` is built by `tools/globe/prepare-countries.py` from world-atlas (Natural
    Earth). The label renderer owns `display`, so labels hide through `visibility`.
  - CDN-fronted posts are labels per CDN on a ring at 68°N, never a place; hovering one draws its arc there and a ring
    where the server was before the CDN. The posts' places reach it in one call per feed change; cards are matched by
    `data-post-id`.
- **Nerd stats** (`Components/Nerd/NerdTip.razor`, rows from `NerdRow`): a post's ids, times and provenance (read on
  hover), its author and server with the server's changes of place and CDN week by week, its place or its CDN (how
  PrivaPub found it, the place before it, the CDN's servers week by week), media and counts; the feed's paging and last
  request; the globe's camera, points, countries and frame rate, and its Sun (subsolar point, distance, irradiance,
  the place's elevation and day length, the next equinox or solstice).

**Localization (`Services/CoalescingStringLocalizer.cs`).**
- Lookup order: this repo's `Resources/AllStrings.resx` (+ `.it.resx`), then `FieldsNameResource`, then
  `ErrorsResource`.
- A missing key renders as the key itself, formatted with its arguments, so a typo fails silently.
- The class lives in namespace `collAnon.Client.Services`, a leftover from another project.
- `Resources/ErrorMessages.resx` is read by `[Required]` / `[StringLength]` through `ErrorMessageResourceType`. A new key
  needs its `public static string` property in `ErrorMessages.Designer.cs` too, or validation throws at runtime.

**Client storage** comes in two layers:
- **localStorage** (Blazored.LocalStorage, camelCase JSON) holds `AuthData`, `PublicCacheData`, `FeedFilter` and the
  server cache `ServerInfos`, keyed by `nameof(Type)`.
- **IndexedDB** (DnetIndexedDb, database `data`) is reached through `IStorage`. Its schema is declared in
  `GenericExtensions.AddIndexedDb()`, and you must bump `WithVersion` when you change it.
- The schema is at version 3: the `ClientLogs` store that `IStorage.AddLog` writes (version 2 added it; version 3 left
  the mock feed's `Message` store out).

**Auth.** `TokenAuthStateProvider` holds `AuthData` (localStorage, cached in memory) and builds the auth state from
it: the root's name, its policies as claims, and the current persona. Pages that need a session carry
`[Authorize]`; `RedirectToLogin` sends the reader to `/login?returnUrl=…`.

**JS interop.**
- `wwwroot/main.js` defines `window.*` helpers. `Services/AppStatusService.cs` calls them, mostly through the
  synchronous `IJSInProcessRuntime`.
- Each helper reports its errors back through `window.logFromJs`.
- The other scripts (IndexedDB, HeadElement, rxjs) are loaded by `<script>` tags in `wwwroot/index.html`; the feed's
  modules (`js/feed.js`, `js/globe.js`) are imported on demand through `IJSObjectReference`.

**PWA.** Published builds use `wwwroot/service-worker.published.js`, and `service-worker.js` is the dev version.

## Development rules

These rules are adapted from the owner's b2b.next project. They are enforced by review: the build doesn't check them,
so follow them in every change.

| Area | Rule |
|---|---|
| All | `var` everywhere; uninitialised locals are `var x = default(T);` |
| All | Primary constructors for DI (`class Foo(IBar bar)`), not constructor + fields |
| All | Every async method takes a `CancellationToken` as its last parameter |
| All | Early return on error: guard, handle, `return`; never if/else for success vs failure |
| Models / state | Lists and arrays `= []`, never null; no `= string.Empty` / `""` defaults; explicit enum defaults |
| Components | No `@{ }` blocks in markup: locals become `@code` members |
| Components | `[Inject]` in `@code`, never `@inject` |
| Components | Disable controls with `IsDefaultDisabled` (plus local conditions), never bare offline state |
| Components | Every text/number input declares `autocomplete` |
| Services | `Task<WebResult>` for mutations, `Task<List<T>>` (`[]` on error) for lists, `Task<T>` with a default for values |
| Localization | Every user-facing string through `Localizer`, its key in **both** `AllStrings.resx` and `AllStrings.it.resx` |

**CancellationToken.** It goes on every async method in services, `CascadingState` and helpers, defaulting to
`default`; pass it on to what you call. Exempt: Blazor lifecycle overrides, `[JSInvokable]` methods, framework overrides
(`GetAuthenticationStateAsync`), and private UI handlers bound from markup.

**State initialisation.** Initialise page and component state (`= new()`, `= []`) and bind it directly. No passthrough
getters and no `?.` chains over state that can't be null:

```csharp
List<FeedPost> posts = [];                      // DO
@posts.Count                                    // DO

`= ""` is allowed only as a documented exception, with the reason in a comment (e.g. a decorative image's `Alt`).

**Pages that load data.** Pages fetch in `LoadData` and keep lifecycle concerns in the lifecycle method:

```csharp
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
	if (CascadingState.IsOffline)
	{
		WhenOnline(LoadData);
		StartOnlinePolling();
		IsLoading = false;
		return;
	}

	await LoadData();
	IsLoading = false;
}
```

- Reuse the base `IsLoading`; don't add per-section loading flags.
- A component that binds `IsDefaultDisabled` must set `IsLoading = false` once it is ready, even if it loads nothing;
  otherwise its controls stay disabled.
- Never wrap a service call in try/catch. Services already catch and log, and return an invalid `WebResult`. Branch on
  `result.IsInvalid` instead:

```csharp
var result = await StatusService.Delete(Status.Id);
if (result.IsInvalid)
{
	Toast.AddResponseError(result);
	return;
}

Toast.AddResponseSuccess(Localizer["Message deleted."]);
await OnDeleted.InvokeAsync(Post);
```

**Client services** follow b2b.next's two patterns (see its `StoreService`):
- Create `var result = new WebResult();`, call `httpService` inside a try/catch, and on a non-success status
  `result = await response.Content.ReadWebResult(response.StatusCode, localizer, ct)`. Log with `ILoggingService`.
- Return `result` (mutations) or `[]` (lists), and set `result.Data` on success.
- POST bodies are JSON payloads for `/clientapi` and the Mastodon API (snake_case DTOs), forms for `/oauth`.

**In-page errors.** `ErrorViewer` takes `AdditionalError` for one message and `AdditionalErrors` for a list. Never
join a list into one string with `<br/>` or `\n`.

**Autocomplete values:**
- `autocomplete="off"` for search, filter and free text;
- `new-password` when setting a password;
- `one-time-code` for OTP (DOtp sets it);
- `username` and `current-password` on the login form, so password managers fill it;
- inside `Components/Daisy`, attributes pass through from the caller.

**Localization:**
- Keys are English source strings. Grep both resx files for an existing key before adding one; match keys exactly.
- Never add a key that differs from an existing one only by case ("users" next to "Users"): resource lookups collide
  on them and one of the two silently shows the other's text. Reuse the existing key.
- Use `Localizer[key, args]`, never `string.Format(Localizer[key], …)`. Don't write `.Value`.
- Enum members shown through `Localizer[value.ToString()]` are keys too: when you add a member, add its key.
- Language names in the language picker stay in their own language.

**Formatting.** Date formats come from `SUtility.dateTimeFormat` / `timeFormat` / `dateTimeFormatExt`. Relative times
and sizes come from `GetPassedTime` / `GetFileSize` (`Extensions/GenericExtensions.cs`). No inline format strings for
display.

**JSON.** Register every `/clientapi` or localStorage type in `ClientJsonContext.cs` (camelCase: `theme.js` reads
`pageSettings` straight from localStorage), every Mastodon API type in `MastodonJsonContext.cs` (snake_case).

**Wiring a feature to PrivaPub:**
1. For `/clientapi`, add the request/response DTOs to `PrivaPub.ClientModels` in the SocialPub repo: `View*` for
   responses, `*Request` for requests, `*Form` for forms with validation. Lists `= []`, no string defaults. For the
   Mastodon API, add the shape to `Models/Mastodon/`.
2. Register them in `ClientJsonContext` or `MastodonJsonContext`, and the route in `Models/APIs.cs`.
3. Add a client service method that calls `IHttpService` against the server's route, following the patterns above.
4. Wire the page with early returns, toasts and/or an `ErrorViewer`.

**Not adopted from b2b.next, on purpose:**
- **The `tw:` Tailwind prefix.** b2b.next needs it next to MudBlazor's CSS; here daisyUI is the only component CSS.
- **Server-only rules:** no 5XX responses, the controller pattern, `IOptionsMonitor`, data access and caching.
- **b2b.next-specific features:** Excel import/export, password policy, legacy porting rules, the `{culture}` route
  placeholder (PrivaPub's routes are absolute `/clientapi/...`), and the release/API-status worker.
- **Mandatory `/// <summary>` on every `[Parameter]`.** Document only what isn't obvious from the name.

## Deployment

Both workflows check the repo out with a plain `git fetch` from this Gitea, not `actions/checkout`, because the runner
would download that action from github.com. Never add a `uses:` step.

`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` runs on a `v*` tag or a manual dispatch, on a self-hosted runner that is also the web
host. The steps:
1. Publish the site.
2. Write `build.json` (commit, ref, time).
3. Snapshot the live directory to `/var/backups/decepub.thepra.dev`.
4. `rsync --delete` into `/var/www/decepub.thepra.dev`.
5. Check that `build.json` serves the new commit and that a deep client route returns 200 (the SPA fallback). Otherwise,
   roll back to the snapshot.

The nginx vhost and headers are in `deploy/nginx/` (it sends `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow`), and
`deploy/max/setup.sh` is the one-time root setup on the server. If you add a file that must never be cached, add it to the `expires -1` locations in the vhost.

## Conventions

- Indent with tabs.
- `Nullable` is disabled and `ImplicitUsings` is enabled.
- Global Razor usings are in `_Imports.razor`.
- Styling uses the D components, Tailwind utilities and the `neo-*` utilities. Use `gap-*` rather than `space-x/y-*`
  on flex containers; the feeds use `flex-col-reverse`, which `space-*` gets wrong.
- `SUtility.IfTrueThen(cond, "class")` is the helper for conditional classes.
