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by the federation job with backoff): a rename at home leaves the old handle an alias here, and a password change or a withdrawn grant ends their sessions here.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.

v3: fix the backend's correctness findings — each by a rule shared across the code rather than one more special case. Link previews: readTextCapped decoded every page as UTF-8, so a Latin-1 page came out garbled unless it went through the curl fallback, which re-encoded it on its own; pages are now decoded in the charset their Content-Type or <meta> declares, and the curl fallback hands the bytes over as they are. The image proxy served and cached for a day an error answer that claimed an image type, and read a body without Content-Length whole before checking its size; it now refuses an error status and reads through the same capped reader. The icons task's Twemoji fetch gives up after 15 s instead of holding the start up, and extractLinkHref, which only its tests used, is gone. Backlinks matched a linked URL against the raw url column, so https://x.com/ missed a dump posted as https://x.com; they now compare canonical URLs, as reposts do. The four LIKE searches put the query in raw, so % and _ were wildcards and the mention search for "a_b" found "axb"; lib/like.ts escapes them. Every list query now treats a malformed row the same way, a 500 through model/rows.ts's parseRows, where ten of them silently dropped it; the playlist dumps query uses the model's column list rather than a hand-written copy, and the aliased list is derived from the plain one. The vote and like services commit through transaction() instead of their own BEGIN and ROLLBACK, which would have rolled back a caller's transaction.
