Receiving, a home's keys that can't be fetched answer 502, which the sender retries, instead of 401, which it dropped; a bad update answers 400 rather than 502; a blocked instance's events answer 403; events are limited to a burst of 120 per instance, and a token naming an unknown key refetches the keys at most once a minute. An avatar must be on its issuer's origin, and its URL is versioned by its file's write time instead of updatedAt, so a profile edit no longer makes clients download it again. An instance that doesn't answer can be blocked, keeping its name, though not trusted.
303 backend tests and 703 frontend tests pass, the federation tests 8 times in a row, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean.

A remote user is name@host here, in users.username, in paths (/@alice@music.example) and in mentions, through one handle rule in shared/validation.ts that paths, MENTION_RE and Markdown all build on; Markdown undoes GFM's email autolink of a handle. Their name, email and avatar come from their home at each sign-in and by its signed events (federation_outbox, delivered by the federation job with backoff): a rename at home leaves the old handle an alias here, and a password change or a withdrawn grant ends their sessions here. Their password, email, avatar and name can't change here (assertLocalUser), nor can they sign in elsewhere from here.
An admin keeps the trusted and blocked instances on /manage (federation:manage): a trusted instance's users sign in from a button on the login page, a blocked one's can't and are signed out at once, and any other's join with an invite from the register page. The /authorize page asks the user once per instance, and /settings lists the instances their account signs in to, each disconnectable; /login?next= brings a signed-out visitor back to /authorize. Emails stay unique among local accounts only, and migration 0024 adds the tables, makes that index partial and reserves authorize and federation as category slugs. remote/gerbeur-instance.ts is the only way to other instances: https and public addresses only, no redirects, no certificate fallback, unless GERBEUR_FEDERATION_ALLOW_PRIVATE lets two instances on one machine talk.
298 backend tests and 702 frontend tests pass, and deno check, deno fmt, deno lint, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked end to end with two built instances on one machine: sign-in through the other's login and consent pages, consent skipped once granted and asked again after disconnecting, a rename and a password change at home reaching the other, and blocking; screenshots of the login, consent, profile, settings and manage pages at 1280 and 390px.

Validation: the dump validators refuse the nulls their shared types don't allow (a null title or note on creation, a null URL on edit); a playlist title of spaces is refused and titles are stored trimmed; usernames and emails are checked by the same USERNAME_RE and EMAIL_RE in shared/validation.ts on sign-up, on PATCH /api/users/me (which checked other limits) and in the sign-up form. Mentions are read by shared/mention.ts's mentionedUsernames, which skips code and URLs as Markdown shows them: https://mastodon.social/@bob or a `@bob` in code notified bob; the editor's suggestions derive their trigger from the same pattern instead of a copy. Following an unknown user is a 404 rather than a foreign-key 500, and following a private playlist a 404 rather than a 403 that confirmed it exists. `ws` and `emojibase` are reserved category slugs, since the server answers them before the app. GET /api/users/me no longer turns every error into a 500.
Dead code goes: adminOnlyMiddleware, verifyEmailTransport, listUsers, deleteUser with disconnectUser and the force_logout message only it sent, PATCH /api/notifications/:id/read (with markOneRead), isSlugAvailable, the unreachable 500 in fetchComment, and the `if (!ctx.state.user)` checks behind authMiddleware. 214 backend and 627 frontend tests pass.
