+# ActivityPubRepository Port Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Eliminate the `activitypub` → `postgres` dependency violation by extracting an `ActivityPubRepository` port into domain and implementing it in the postgres adapter.
+
+**Architecture:** `ActivityPubRepository` (9 methods, federation vocabulary) is added to `domain/src/ports.rs`. `PgActivityPubRepository` in `postgres/src/activitypub.rs` implements it with all the SQL that currently lives in `activitypub/src/handler.rs`. `ThoughtsObjectHandler` drops its `PgPool` and receives `Arc<dyn ActivityPubRepository>` instead. The dependency chain becomes `activitypub → domain` only; `postgres` drops off the `activitypub` Cargo.toml entirely.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust, sqlx 0.8, async-trait, existing domain value objects
+
+---
+
+## File Map
+
+```
+Modify: crates/domain/src/ports.rs             ← add OutboxEntry struct + ActivityPubRepository trait
+Modify: crates/domain/src/testing.rs           ← add TestStore impl ActivityPubRepository
+Create: crates/adapters/postgres/src/activitypub.rs  ← PgActivityPubRepository (all 9 methods)
+Modify: crates/adapters/postgres/src/lib.rs    ← pub mod activitypub
+Modify: crates/adapters/activitypub/src/handler.rs   ← replace PgPool with Arc<dyn ActivityPubRepository>
+Modify: crates/adapters/activitypub/Cargo.toml ← remove postgres + sqlx deps
+Modify: crates/presentation/src/lib.rs         ← wire PgActivityPubRepository into ThoughtsObjectHandler
+```

+
+### Task 1: Domain — OutboxEntry + ActivityPubRepository trait
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/domain/src/ports.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/domain/src/testing.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Write the failing test** — add to bottom of `crates/domain/src/testing.rs` inside the existing `#[cfg(any(test, feature = "test-helpers"))]` scope:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod ap_repo_tests {
+    use super::*;
+    use crate::models::thought::{Thought, Visibility};
+    use crate::value_objects::*;
+
+    #[tokio::test]
+    async fn test_store_outbox_returns_empty() {
+        let store = TestStore::default();
+        let result = store.outbox_entries_for_actor(&UserId::new()).await.unwrap();
+        assert!(result.is_empty());
+    }
+
+    #[tokio::test]
+    async fn test_store_intern_creates_placeholder() {
+        let store = TestStore::default();
+        let url = url::Url::parse("https://example.com/users/alice").unwrap();
+        let id1 = store.intern_remote_actor(&url).await.unwrap();

+        assert_eq!(id1, id2, "intern must be idempotent");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Run:** `cargo test -p domain` — Expected: FAIL (ActivityPubRepository not defined).
+
+- [ ] **Add `OutboxEntry` and `ActivityPubRepository` to `crates/domain/src/ports.rs`** — append after the `SearchPort` trait:
+
+```rust
+/// A local thought ready for AP serialization, with the author's username
+/// pre-joined so the handler can build AP URLs without a second query.

+    /// `before`. Used for OrderedCollectionPage responses.

+

+    async fn intern_remote_actor(
+        &self,

+

+    async fn count_local_notes(&self) -> Result<u64, DomainError>;
+}
+```
+
+The imports already present in `ports.rs` cover `DomainError`, `UserId`, `Username`, `async_trait`. The `url::Url` and `chrono::DateTime` types need to be in scope — add these use statements at the top of `ports.rs` if not already present:
+
+```rust
+use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};
+use url::Url;
+```
+
+Note: `url` and `chrono` are already in `domain/Cargo.toml`. No dep changes needed.
+
+- [ ] **Add `TestStore impl ActivityPubRepository`** in `crates/domain/src/testing.rs` — append after `impl SearchPort for TestStore`:

+- [ ] **Rewrite `crates/adapters/activitypub/Cargo.toml`** — remove `postgres` and `sqlx`:
+
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "activitypub"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+
+[dependencies]
+activitypub-base       = { workspace = true }
+activitypub_federation = "0.7.0-beta.11"
+domain                 = { workspace = true }
+url                    = { workspace = true }
+serde                  = { workspace = true }
+serde_json             = { workspace = true }
+anyhow                 = { workspace = true }
+chrono                 = { workspace = true }
+uuid                   = { workspace = true }
+async-trait            = { workspace = true }
+tracing                = { workspace = true }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Run:** `cargo check -p activitypub`
+  Expected: no errors. If there are unused import warnings for `sqlx` or `PgPool` — those are now gone, so the check should be clean.
+
+- [ ] **Run full test suite:** `DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5434/postgres cargo test --workspace`
+  Expected: all 67 tests pass (handler.rs has no unit tests of its own, but the workspace test suite must stay green).
+
+- [ ] **Commit:**
+```bash
+git add crates/adapters/activitypub/
+git commit -m "refactor(activitypub): ThoughtsObjectHandler uses ActivityPubRepository port, drops postgres dep"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Presentation — wire PgActivityPubRepository
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/presentation/src/lib.rs`
+
+The current `build_state` in `src/lib.rs` calls `ThoughtsObjectHandler::new(pool.clone(), &base_url)`. After Task 3, the signature changed to `ThoughtsObjectHandler::new(repo: Arc<dyn ActivityPubRepository>, base_url: &str)`.
+
+- [ ] **Update the import and wiring in `crates/presentation/src/lib.rs`:**
+
+Find the existing import line:
+```rust
+use activitypub::ThoughtsObjectHandler;
+```
+
+Add alongside it:
+```rust
+use postgres::activitypub::PgActivityPubRepository;
+```
+
+Find the existing call:
+```rust
+std::sync::Arc::new(ThoughtsObjectHandler::new(pool.clone(), &base_url)),
+```
+
+Replace with:
+```rust
+std::sync::Arc::new(ThoughtsObjectHandler::new(
+    std::sync::Arc::new(PgActivityPubRepository::new(pool.clone())),
+    &base_url,
+)),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Run:** `cargo build -p presentation`
+  Expected: clean build, no errors.
+
+- [ ] **Run full test suite:**
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5434/postgres cargo test --workspace 2>&1 | tail -3
+```
+  Expected: all tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Verify dependency is gone:**
+```bash
+cargo tree -p activitypub | grep postgres
+```
+  Expected: no output — `activitypub` no longer depends on `postgres`.
+
+- [ ] **Commit:**
+```bash
+git add crates/presentation/src/lib.rs
+git commit -m "fix: wire PgActivityPubRepository into ThoughtsObjectHandler — closes activitypub→postgres violation"
+```
+

+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- ✅ `OutboxEntry` struct with `thought: Thought` + `author_username: Username`
+- ✅ `ActivityPubRepository` trait in `domain/src/ports.rs` — 9 methods with federation vocabulary
+- ✅ `TestStore impl ActivityPubRepository` — idempotent `intern_remote_actor`, empty stubs for others
+- ✅ 2 domain unit tests covering idempotency and empty outbox
+- ✅ `PgActivityPubRepository` in `postgres/src/activitypub.rs` — all 9 methods
+- ✅ 3 postgres integration tests
+- ✅ `ThoughtsObjectHandler` drops `PgPool`, receives `Arc<dyn ActivityPubRepository>`
+- ✅ `activitypub/Cargo.toml` removes `postgres` and `sqlx` deps
+- ✅ Presentation wires `PgActivityPubRepository` → `ThoughtsObjectHandler`
+- ✅ `cargo tree` verification confirms violation is resolved
+
+**Placeholder scan:** None.
+
+**Type consistency:**
+- `OutboxEntry` defined in `domain/src/ports.rs`, imported as `domain::ports::OutboxEntry` in postgres — consistent
+- `ThoughtsObjectHandler::new(repo: Arc<dyn ActivityPubRepository>, base_url: &str)` — matches presentation wiring
+- `PgActivityPubRepository::new(pool: PgPool)` — matches presentation wiring
+- All 9 method signatures identical between trait definition (Task 1) and impl (Task 2) and handler calls (Task 3)
