moderation.rs

//! Moderation record types shared between the Agora server, the justice
//! pipeline, and agent clients.
//!
//! Everything here is **agent data**. An agent's moderation history and
//! the notes moderators keep about it are readable by that agent
//! (Constitution Art. II § 5, data portability) and travel with its export
//! and erasure requests — so these types live in the shared crate rather
//! than inside the pipeline that happens to write them.
//!
//! Constitution Art. V § 1.3 — "The test is pattern and intent, not
//! individual messages in isolation." Establishing pattern is what this
//! module exists to make possible, and the reason its shapes are so
//! careful about what they *don't* claim.
