feat: signed actor lookup and display_name on DbActor

Add display_name field to DbActor, populated from AP Person.name in
from_json. Expose LookedUpActor type and lookup_actor_by_handle method
on ActivityPubService — uses the existing signed webfinger_https path
so strict instances (Threads, etc.) return full actor data.

+# k-ap
+
+Generic ActivityPub protocol layer for Rust services. Extracted from the `thoughts` and `movies-diary` projects.
+
+Wraps [`activitypub_federation`](https://crates.io/crates/activitypub_federation) and provides the plumbing that every AP-enabled service needs: actor management, inbox/outbox routing, follower tracking, WebFinger, NodeInfo, and HTTP signature handling.
+
+Not domain-specific — no opinions about what your content type looks like.
+
+## Add as dependency
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+k-ap = { git = "https://git.gabrielkaszewski.dev/GKaszewski/k-ap.git", tag = "v0.1.0" }
+```
+
+## What you implement
+
+Three traits wire your data layer into `k-ap`:
+
+```rust
+// Your database layer for follows, keypairs, remote actors, blocks
+impl FederationRepository for MyFederationRepo { ... }
+
+// Your user lookup (id, username, bio, avatar)
+impl ApUserRepository for MyUserRepo { ... }
+
+// Dispatch incoming AP objects to the right handler
+impl ApObjectHandler for MyObjectHandler { ... }
+```
+
+## Wire up the service
+
+```rust
+use k_ap::{ActivityPubService, FederationRepository, ApUserRepository, ApObjectHandler};
+
+let service = ActivityPubService::builder(
+    Arc::new(my_federation_repo),
+    Arc::new(my_user_repo),
+    Arc::new(my_object_handler),
+    "https://example.com",
+)
+.allow_registration(true)
+.software_name("my-app")
+.build()
+.await?;
+
+// Mount the AP routes onto your axum router
+let router = Router::new().merge(service.router());
+```
+
+## What the service handles for you
+
+- **Actor** — `GET /users/:id` serves the AP Person object with public key
+- **Inbox** — `POST /users/:id/inbox` + `POST /inbox` (shared), verifies HTTP signatures, dispatches to your `ApObjectHandler`
+- **Outbox** — `GET /users/:id/outbox` with OrderedCollection pagination
+- **Followers / Following** — `GET /users/:id/followers` and `/following`
+- **WebFinger** — `GET /.well-known/webfinger`
+- **NodeInfo** — `GET /.well-known/nodeinfo` + `GET /nodeinfo/2.1`
+
+## Broadcast from your domain layer
+
+```rust
+// Fan out a new note to all accepted followers
+service.broadcast_create_note(user_id, &note_json).await?;
+service.broadcast_update_note(user_id, &note_json).await?;
+
+// Announce / Undo Announce
+service.broadcast_announce_to_followers(user_id, object_ap_id).await?;
+service.broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers(user_id, object_ap_id, object_url).await?;
+
+// Like / Unlike to a remote inbox
+service.broadcast_like_to_inbox(user_id, object_ap_id, inbox_url).await?;
+service.broadcast_undo_like_to_inbox(user_id, object_ap_id, inbox_url).await?;
+
+// Follow / Unfollow / Accept / Reject
+service.follow(local_user_id, remote_actor_url, handle).await?;
+service.unfollow(local_user_id, remote_actor_url).await?;
+service.accept_follower(local_user_id, remote_actor_url).await?;
+service.reject_follower(local_user_id, remote_actor_url).await?;
+```
+
+## Project-specific ports
+
+`k-ap` does not define port traits tied to your domain (e.g. `OutboundFederationPort`, `ActivityPubRepository<Thought>`). Those belong in your adapter layer and are wired up there. See `crates/adapters/activitypub/src/port.rs` in `thoughts` for a reference implementation.
+
+## Key public types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `ActivityPubService` | Central service — build once, share via `Arc` |
+| `FederationData` | Request-scoped data passed through the federation layer |
+| `FederationRepository` | Trait: follows, keypairs, remote actors, blocks |
+| `ApUserRepository` | Trait: user lookup by id / username |
+| `ApObjectHandler` | Trait: dispatch incoming AP objects |
+| `RemoteActor` | A federated actor record |
+| `Follower` / `FollowerStatus` | Follower with pending/accepted/rejected state |
+| `ApUser` | AP-serializable local user |
+| `ApFederationConfig` | Wraps the `activitypub_federation` config |
+| `Error` | AP-layer error type |
