What this changes

Adds three public, PostgreSQL-backed actor-follow queries to the Hypercerts API bundle:

  • app.certified.graph.getFollow returns the earliest indexed follow for an actor–subject pair, or null if none is indexed.
  • app.certified.graph.listActorFollowers and listActorFollowing list incoming and outgoing relationships. They collapse duplicate relationships before pagination and return a totalCount independent of the page.
  • Listing results include the representative follow record and any available profile and organization records for the displayed actor. Sorting uses the follow's createdAt, falling back to its indexed or database insertion time when needed.

The PR registers the follow Lexicon and handlers alongside the existing location API. It also extracts shared Lua query, validation, and actor-view helpers used by both slices, and adds generated-bundle freshness checks and stricter linting.

Why

Expose indexed actor-to-actor follows for lookup and paginated discovery without returning duplicate relationships.

How to test

From hypercerts-api/, run pnpm check to verify generated Lua bundles, lint, typecheck, and run offline unit tests. New unit tests cover the follow Lexicons, handlers, pagination, counts, validation, fixtures, and bundle tooling.

HTTP contract tests for the location and actor-follow queries are available through pnpm test:contracts after installing the bundle and seeding a separately approved disposable PostgreSQL test target. They are not part of the offline check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added public queries to retrieve a specific actor follow and list an actor’s followers or following, with sorting, pagination, and total counts.
    • Location results now include available author profile and organization details.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Follow relationships are deduplicated, and missing profile or organization details are returned as null.
    • Invalid requests and unavailable database queries return clearer errors.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded API, setup, and testing guidance for actor-follow and location queries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API adds unauthenticated actor-follow lookup, follower, and following queries. The listings deduplicate relationships and support ordered pagination with cursors and total counts. Lua helpers are shared with location handlers, and bundle generation, installation, fixtures, and validation checks are updated.

Changes

API and tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared Lua helpers and location handlers
hypercerts-api/lua/shared/*, hypercerts-api/lua/endpoints/getLocation.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/endpoints/listLocations.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/src/getLocation.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/src/listLocations.lua, hypercerts-api/modules/location/manifest.json
Shared helpers handle query validation, record identification and projection, list options, and actor hydration. Location handlers use these helpers for URI validation, pagination options, row projection, and author hydration.
Actor-follow query contracts and handlers
hypercerts-api/lexicons/app.certified.graph.*.json, hypercerts-api/lua/endpoints/*ActorFollow*.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/endpoints/getFollow.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/shared/actorFollow*.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/shared/actorFollowLookup.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/src/*ActorFollow*.lua, hypercerts-api/lua/src/getFollow.lua, hypercerts-api/manifest.json, hypercerts-api/modules/actor-follow/manifest.json
The API defines follow lookup and paginated follower and following queries. Handlers validate query parameters and cursors, return representative relationships and total counts, and hydrate actor views. Manifests register the queries and handlers.
Lua bundles and asset loading
hypercerts-api/tooling/lua-bundles.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/build-lua.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/build-lua.test.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/lua.test.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/installer.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/installer.test.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/installer-cli.test.js
Bundle tooling generates and checks endpoint files against their declared sources. Installer loading populates and returns a copied asset. Tests check bundle freshness and validate declared query handlers and schemas, and check the CLI response to a malformed admin URL.
Fixtures, checks, and documentation
hypercerts-api/tests/contracts/actor-follow.contract.test.js, hypercerts-api/tests/fixtures/*, hypercerts-api/tooling/actor-follow.test.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/seed.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/seed.test.js, hypercerts-api/tooling/lexicons.test.js, .github/workflows/hypercerts-api.yml, hypercerts-api/.luacheckrc, hypercerts-api/eslint.config.js, hypercerts-api/package.json, hypercerts-api/tooling/lint-security-rules.test.js, hypercerts-api/README.md
Fixtures and tests cover actor-follow contracts, pagination, validation, and seeded records. Workflow and package checks verify generated bundles, lint, typechecking, and tests. Lint rules restrict selected Lua globals and JavaScript evaluation APIs; the README documents the endpoints and checks.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9c9fb

Missing or malformed follow-record timestamps use indexing or insertion-time fallbacks, and an empty cursor is treated as invalid rather than omitted. The inspected application paths establish no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c9fb

The new public queries intentionally expose indexed follow relationships and associated actor records. Input validation, parameterized queries, and administrator credential controls constrain that expansion. No introduced security weakness was established, but installation recovery and deployed behavior remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new public read surface covers requested actors’ indexed relationships and the displayed actors’ profile and organization records in the configured database. The handlers do not bind these reads to caller identity, consistent with the unauthenticated contract. Tenant partitioning and deployed rate controls were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — No Security finding is retained in the canonical assessment. The routed installer candidate concerns validation proof, not a verified attack path. Current implementation rejects malformed URLs, URL credentials, unsupported schemes, and non-loopback plaintext HTTP before fetch; test source asserts rejection without network access or sensitive error disclosure, but execution results remain unavailable.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Public query inputs pass accepted-key, DID, limit, direction, and cursor validation before collection-scoped parameterized SQL. Cursor direction and structure are validated; an empty supplied cursor is malformed rather than absent. Database failures produce a generic actor-follow error.
  • observed — Installer authority comes from an environment or interactive admin token and target URL. Requests send the token as a Bearer credential with redirects disabled. HTTPS host selection remains administrator-controlled configuration; the reviewed change does not introduce a host allowlist.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Conflict refusal limits silent installation drift, and a rerun can skip assets that authoritative reads identify as matching. This is not a transaction guarantee: response loss, interruption, or concurrent installers require reconciliation with server state. No PR-introduced security failure from those states was established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Document and verify reconciliation after interrupted or ambiguously acknowledged installations, including how operators prevent concurrent configuration drift and confirm the intended public handlers before declaring rollout complete.

Review comments at @hypercerts-api/lua/shared/actorFollowList.lua:
- Line 7: Update the cursor check in the shared actor-follow list logic so an
empty-string token is treated like a missing cursor before decoding; preserve
malformed-cursor handling for non-empty tokens, and add an empty-cursor test
covering both listActorFollowers and listActorFollowing.
- Line 44: In the actor-follow queries, replace unguarded `createdAt` casts with
the guarded `sort_key` expression used by `listLocations`, and use it
consistently for `sort_at`, relationship ranking, and lookup ordering. Update
both `actorFollowList.lua` (line 44) and `actorFollowLookup.lua` (line 3); add
fixtures for malformed and missing dates, then regenerate the endpoint bundles
with `pnpm build:lua`.

🟡 Minor · Preserve nullable indexedAt for local follow records. · recordView.lua:3-10

hypercerts-api/lua/shared/recordView.lua:3-10
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve nullable indexedAt for local follow records.

The local/AppView write paths store indexed_at as SQL NULL. The actor-follow queries return those rows, and record_view maps SQL NULL to Lua nil. JSON serialization then omits indexedAt, but followRecordView requires that field as a non-null datetime string.

Declare indexedAt nullable and preserve an explicit JSON null. Regenerate the checked-in actor-follow bundles with pnpm build:lua. Do not create an indexing timestamp.
