# Federation Follow-ups 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:** Two targeted follow-ups from the federation handler implementation: (1) handle `BoostRemoved` → `Undo(Announce)` fan-out, which was a known missing feature; (2) extract the repeated follower-filtering block in `ActivityPubService` into a private helper to eliminate duplication across 6 broadcast methods. **Architecture:** Both changes are additive and self-contained. Task 1 touches `domain/ports.rs`, `activitypub-base/src/service.rs`, and `application/src/services/federation_event.rs`. Task 2 touches only `activitypub-base/src/service.rs`. --- ## File Map ``` Task 1: Modify: crates/domain/src/ports.rs ← add broadcast_undo_announce to OutboundFederationPort Modify: crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs ← broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers + impl Modify: crates/application/src/services/federation_event.rs ← handle BoostRemoved + tests Task 2: Modify: crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs ← extract accepted_follower_inboxes helper ``` --- ### Task 1: BoostRemoved → Undo(Announce) **Files:** - Modify: `crates/domain/src/ports.rs` - Modify: `crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs` - Modify: `crates/application/src/services/federation_event.rs` #### Step A: Add `broadcast_undo_announce` to `OutboundFederationPort` - [ ] In `crates/domain/src/ports.rs`, add one method to `OutboundFederationPort` after `broadcast_announce`: ```rust /// Fan out an Undo(Announce) to followers when a boost is removed. async fn broadcast_undo_announce( &self, booster_user_id: &UserId, object_ap_id: &str, ) -> Result<(), DomainError>; ``` - [ ] **Run:** `cargo check -p domain` — Expected: error in activitypub-base (trait impl missing method). This is expected. #### Step B: Add `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers` to `ActivityPubService` and implement the port method - [ ] In `crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs`, add `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers` to `impl ActivityPubService` — insert after `broadcast_announce_to_followers`: ```rust /// Fan out an Undo(Announce) activity to all accepted followers. pub async fn broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers( &self, local_user_id: uuid::Uuid, object_ap_id: url::Url, ) -> anyhow::Result<()> { let data = self.federation_config.to_request_data(); let local_actor = get_local_actor(local_user_id, &data) .await .map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("{e}"))?; let followers = data.federation_repo.get_followers(local_user_id).await?; let blocked = data.federation_repo.get_blocked_actors(local_user_id).await.unwrap_or_default(); let blocked_set: std::collections::HashSet = blocked.into_iter().collect(); let blocked_domains = data.federation_repo.get_blocked_domains().await.unwrap_or_default(); let blocked_domain_set: std::collections::HashSet = blocked_domains.into_iter().map(|d| d.domain).collect(); let accepted: Vec<_> = followers .into_iter() .filter(|f| f.status == FollowerStatus::Accepted) .filter(|f| !blocked_set.contains(&f.actor.url)) .filter(|f| { let domain = url::Url::parse(&f.actor.inbox_url) .ok() .and_then(|u| u.host_str().map(|s| s.to_string())) .unwrap_or_default(); !blocked_domain_set.contains(&domain) }) .collect(); if accepted.is_empty() { return Ok(()); } let undo_id = crate::urls::activity_url(&self.base_url).map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("{e}"))?; let undo = crate::activities::UndoActivity { id: undo_id, kind: Default::default(), actor: activitypub_federation::fetch::object_id::ObjectId::from(local_actor.ap_id.clone()), object: serde_json::json!({ "type": "Announce", "actor": local_actor.ap_id.to_string(), "object": object_ap_id.to_string(), }), }; let inboxes = collect_inboxes(&accepted); let sends = activitypub_federation::activity_sending::SendActivityTask::prepare( &activitypub_federation::protocol::context::WithContext::new_default(undo), &local_actor, inboxes, &data, ) .await?; let failures = send_with_retry(sends, &data).await; if !failures.is_empty() { tracing::warn!(count = failures.len(), "some Undo(Announce) deliveries failed"); } Ok(()) } ``` - [ ] Add `broadcast_undo_announce` to the `impl domain::ports::OutboundFederationPort for ActivityPubService` block: ```rust async fn broadcast_undo_announce( &self, booster_user_id: &domain::value_objects::UserId, object_ap_id: &str, ) -> Result<(), domain::errors::DomainError> { let user_uuid = booster_user_id.as_uuid(); let ap_id = url::Url::parse(object_ap_id) .map_err(|e| domain::errors::DomainError::Internal(e.to_string()))?; self.broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers(user_uuid, ap_id) .await .map_err(|e| domain::errors::DomainError::Internal(e.to_string())) } ``` - [ ] **Run:** `cargo check -p activitypub-base` — Expected: no errors. - [ ] **Run:** `cargo check --workspace` — Expected: no errors. #### Step C: Handle `BoostRemoved` in `FederationEventService` - [ ] **Write failing test** first — add to the `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` block in `crates/application/src/services/federation_event.rs`: ```rust #[tokio::test] async fn boost_removed_sends_undo_announce_for_local_thought() { let store = TestStore::default(); let alice = alice(); let thought = local_thought(alice.id.clone()); // ap_id = None → constructed URL store.thoughts.lock().unwrap().push(thought.clone()); let spy = Arc::new(SpyPort::default()); svc(&store, spy.clone()) .process(&DomainEvent::BoostRemoved { user_id: alice.id.clone(), thought_id: thought.id.clone(), }) .await .unwrap(); let announced = spy.announced.lock().unwrap(); assert_eq!(announced.len(), 1); assert_eq!(announced[0], format!("https://example.com/thoughts/{}", thought.id)); } #[tokio::test] async fn boost_removed_sends_undo_announce_for_remote_thought() { let store = TestStore::default(); let alice = alice(); let mut thought = local_thought(alice.id.clone()); thought.local = false; thought.ap_id = Some("https://mastodon.social/users/bob/statuses/456".into()); store.thoughts.lock().unwrap().push(thought.clone()); let spy = Arc::new(SpyPort::default()); svc(&store, spy.clone()) .process(&DomainEvent::BoostRemoved { user_id: alice.id.clone(), thought_id: thought.id.clone(), }) .await .unwrap(); let announced = spy.announced.lock().unwrap(); assert_eq!(announced[0], "https://mastodon.social/users/bob/statuses/456"); } ``` NOTE: The `SpyPort` tracks `broadcast_undo_announce` calls in the same `announced` vec as `broadcast_announce` (or a new `undo_announced` vec — your choice, but be consistent in both the spy and the assertions). Actually, use a separate `undo_announced` vec for clarity: ```rust #[derive(Default)] struct SpyPort { created: Mutex>, deleted: Mutex>, updated: Mutex>, announced: Mutex>, undo_announced: Mutex>, } ``` And add the impl method: ```rust async fn broadcast_undo_announce(&self, _: &UserId, ap_id: &str) -> Result<(), DomainError> { self.undo_announced.lock().unwrap().push(ap_id.to_string()); Ok(()) } ``` Update the test assertions to use `spy.undo_announced`. - [ ] **Run:** `cargo test -p application -- services::federation_event` — Expected: 2 new tests FAIL (not implemented). - [ ] **Add `BoostRemoved` arm** to `FederationEventService::process` — insert after the `BoostAdded` arm: ```rust DomainEvent::BoostRemoved { user_id, thought_id } => { let thought = match self.thoughts.find_by_id(thought_id).await? { Some(t) => t, None => return Ok(()), }; let object_ap_id = thought.ap_id.clone().unwrap_or_else(|| { format!("{}/thoughts/{}", self.base_url, thought_id) }); self.ap.broadcast_undo_announce(user_id, &object_ap_id).await } ``` - [ ] **Run:** `cargo test -p application -- services::federation_event` — Expected: all tests pass (now 13). - [ ] **Run:** `cargo test --workspace` — Expected: only pre-existing postgres DB failures (require live database). - [ ] **Commit:** ```bash git add crates/domain/src/ports.rs crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs crates/application/src/services/federation_event.rs git commit -m "feat: BoostRemoved → Undo(Announce) fan-out via OutboundFederationPort" ``` --- ### Task 2: Follower-filtering DRY extraction in activitypub-base **Files:** - Modify: `crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs` The repeated 20-line follower-filtering block appears in 7 methods. Extract it into a private async helper, then call it from the 6 content-broadcast methods. Leave `broadcast_actor_update` alone — it uses different filtering (no blocked-actor/domain check). **Methods to update:** `broadcast_to_followers`, `broadcast_delete_to_followers`, `broadcast_update_to_followers`, `broadcast_add_to_followers`, `broadcast_undo_add_to_followers`, `broadcast_announce_to_followers`, `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers`. **Leave unchanged:** `broadcast_actor_update` (filters only on `FollowerStatus::Accepted`, no blocked checks). - [ ] **Add private helper** to `impl ActivityPubService` — insert near the top of the impl block, after `request_data`: ```rust /// Returns `(local_actor, deduplicated_inboxes)` for all accepted followers, /// excluding blocked actors and blocked domains. Returns `None` if there are /// no eligible followers (caller should early-return `Ok(())`). async fn accepted_follower_inboxes( &self, data: &activitypub_federation::config::Data, local_user_id: uuid::Uuid, ) -> anyhow::Result)>> { let local_actor = get_local_actor(local_user_id, data) .await .map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("{e}"))?; let followers = data.federation_repo.get_followers(local_user_id).await?; let blocked = data.federation_repo.get_blocked_actors(local_user_id).await.unwrap_or_default(); let blocked_set: std::collections::HashSet = blocked.into_iter().collect(); let blocked_domains = data.federation_repo.get_blocked_domains().await.unwrap_or_default(); let blocked_domain_set: std::collections::HashSet = blocked_domains.into_iter().map(|d| d.domain).collect(); let accepted: Vec<_> = followers .into_iter() .filter(|f| f.status == FollowerStatus::Accepted) .filter(|f| !blocked_set.contains(&f.actor.url)) .filter(|f| { let domain = url::Url::parse(&f.actor.inbox_url) .ok() .and_then(|u| u.host_str().map(|s| s.to_string())) .unwrap_or_default(); !blocked_domain_set.contains(&domain) }) .collect(); if accepted.is_empty() { return Ok(None); } Ok(Some((local_actor, collect_inboxes(&accepted)))) } ``` - [ ] **Refactor each of the 7 methods** to use `accepted_follower_inboxes`. For each method, replace the block that: 1. Gets `local_actor` 2. Gets followers + filtered inboxes with: ```rust let data = self.federation_config.to_request_data(); let Some((local_actor, inboxes)) = self.accepted_follower_inboxes(&data, local_user_id).await? else { return Ok(()); }; ``` Then use `local_actor` and `inboxes` directly in the activity construction (same as before). The 7 methods are at these line numbers (before refactor — check actual lines in the file): - `broadcast_announce_to_followers` - `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers` (just added in Task 1) - `broadcast_to_followers` - `broadcast_delete_to_followers` - `broadcast_update_to_followers` - `broadcast_add_to_followers` - `broadcast_undo_add_to_followers` - [ ] **Run:** `cargo check -p activitypub-base` — Expected: no errors. - [ ] **Run:** `cargo check --workspace` — Expected: no errors. - [ ] **Run:** `cargo test --workspace` — Expected: same result as before (pre-existing postgres failures only). - [ ] **Commit:** ```bash git add crates/adapters/activitypub-base/src/service.rs git commit -m "refactor(activitypub-base): extract accepted_follower_inboxes helper — eliminate 7x duplicated filtering block" ``` --- ## Self-Review **Spec coverage:** - ✅ `broadcast_undo_announce` added to `OutboundFederationPort` (Task 1) - ✅ `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers` sends `Undo { object: { type: "Announce", actor, object } }` to accepted, non-blocked followers (Task 1) - ✅ `FederationEventService` handles `BoostRemoved` with same ap_id construction as `BoostAdded` (Task 1) - ✅ 2 tests: local thought URL constructed, remote thought uses ap_id (Task 1) - ✅ `SpyPort` has separate `undo_announced` vec (Task 1) - ✅ `accepted_follower_inboxes` helper extracts the 20-line filtering block (Task 2) - ✅ Helper used in 7 content-broadcast methods (Task 2) - ✅ `broadcast_actor_update` NOT touched — it uses different filtering (Task 2) **Placeholder scan:** None. **Type consistency:** - `UndoActivity` is already defined in `activities.rs` with `object: serde_json::Value` — no new activity type needed - `broadcast_undo_announce_to_followers(uuid::Uuid, url::Url)` — same signature pattern as `broadcast_announce_to_followers` - `accepted_follower_inboxes` returns `Option<(DbActor, Vec)>` — caller destructures with `let Some(...) = ... else { return Ok(()) }`
