Behavior flags controlling action processing

Implementation Status

Fully Implemented

• broadcast - Checked in schedule_delivery() for self-posting
• allow_unknown - Validated on both inbound (permission check) and outbound (create_action)
• ephemeral - Skips persistence, forwards to WebSocket only
• approvable - Enables APRV flow, auto-approve for trusted sources
• requires_subscription - Validated on both inbound and outbound
• deliver_subject - Delivers subject action along with main action
• subscribable - Enables SUBS-based permissions and visibility
• deliver_to_subject_owner - Dual delivery to subject owner
• default_flags - Applied during action creation

Reserved (Not Implemented)

• requires_acceptance - RESERVED: Would set initial status to CONFIRMATION
• local_only - RESERVED: Would skip federation in schedule_delivery
• ttl - RESERVED: Time-to-live for action expiration
• sync - RESERVED: Synchronous processing mode
• federated - RESERVED: Cross-instance federation control

Fields

broadcast: Option<bool>

Send to all followers when posting to own wall (no audience). Checked in schedule_delivery() for self-posting.

allow_unknown: Option<bool>

Accept actions from non-connected/non-following users. Validated on both inbound (permission check) and outbound (create_action).

ephemeral: Option<bool>

Don’t persist to database, only forward to WebSocket. Used for real-time ephemeral actions like typing indicators.

approvable: Option<bool>

Can this action receive APRV (approval) from audience? When true, accepting this action will generate an APRV federated signal. Also enables auto-approve for trusted sources.

requires_subscription: Option<bool>

Child actions require SUBS (subscription) validation. Validated on both inbound and outbound flows.

deliver_subject: Option<bool>

Deliver subject action along with this action to recipients. Used by APRV to include the approved POST when fanning out.

subscribable: Option<bool>

This action type can have SUBS (subscriptions) pointing to it. When true, subscribers are included in visibility checks for Direct visibility. Also enables fan-out to subscribers in parent chain.

deliver_to_subject_owner: Option<bool>

Also deliver to subject’s owner (in addition to audience). Used by INVT to deliver to both invitee and CONV home for validation.

default_flags: Option<String>

Default flags for this action type (R/r=reactions, C/c=comments, O/o=open). Applied during action creation.

gated_by_parent_flag: Option<char>

Flag character that gates this action on the PARENT action’s flags. If set and the parent has the lowercase version, this action is rejected. E.g., ‘C’ for CMNT: if parent has ‘c’ (comments disabled), reject.

gated_by_subject_flag: Option<char>

Flag character that gates this action on the SUBJECT action’s flags. Same logic but checks the subject action. E.g., ‘R’ for REACT: if subject has ‘r’ (reactions disabled), reject.

requires_acceptance: Option<bool>

RESERVED: Requires user confirmation before activation. When implemented, would set initial status to CONFIRMATION.

local_only: Option<bool>

RESERVED: Never federate this action type. When implemented, would skip federation in schedule_delivery.

ttl: Option<u64>

RESERVED: Time to live in seconds. When implemented, would enable automatic action expiration.

sync: Option<bool>

RESERVED: Process synchronously. Currently only affects IDP:REG hook execution.

federated: Option<bool>

RESERVED: Allow cross-instance federation. Default behavior is to federate; this flag is reserved for future use.
