Mastodon's FEP-7aa9 requests omit actor, so the inbox rejects them before listeners run. The inbox now resolves the referenced FeaturedCollection independently and requires its owner to match a verified document signer or HTTP signature key owner. This prevents a signed request from claiming someone else's collection.

The inbox uses the authenticated owner as actor in the parsed activity and preserves the original signed payload. Queued processing retains that owner, so retries need not fetch the collection again.

The exception applies only to FeatureRequest, keeping the maintenance patch narrow. Shared inbox authentication is deferred to #1290.

Fixes #1289.

Authenticate actorless FEP-7aa9 requests against the owner of the
referenced collection, then use that owner as the actor passed to the
listener. Preserve the signed document and carry the authenticated
owner through queued processing and retries.

Keep transient collection lookup failures retryable, and reject the
activity on permanent failures. Add regression coverage for HTTP
Signatures, Linked Data Signatures and Object Integrity Proofs, mixed
signatures, forged ownership, queue retries and lookup errors.

Fixes fedify-dev#1289
General inbox principal handling is deferred to:
fedify-dev#1290

Codex assisted the implementation and tests and reviewed the plan with
gpt-6-astra. Claude Code assisted the fixes from code review.

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The inbox now resolves and authenticates the referenced collection’s owner for actorless FEP-7aa9 FeatureRequest activities. Queued delivery carries the inferred actor separately from the signed activity. Both document loaders reject URL schemes other than HTTP and HTTPS before fetching.

Changes

Actorless FeatureRequest inbox support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve the collection owner
packages/fedify/src/federation/feature-request.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/feature-request.test.ts
Helpers capture actor presence, resolve the owner from a matching FeaturedCollection, and classify collection-loading failures. Tests cover lookup, validation, URL handling, redirects, and retryable failures.
Authenticate actorless FeatureRequests
packages/fedify/src/federation/handler.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/feature-request.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/feature-request.test.ts, CHANGES.md, changes.d/fedify/actorless-feature-requests.md
The handler checks authentication against the resolved owner and adds that owner as the actor for internal dispatch. Tests cover signature mechanisms, owner mismatches, proof validation, and rejection cases.
Preserve the resolved actor in queued delivery
packages/fedify/src/federation/inbox.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/queue.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/middleware.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/handler.ts, packages/fedify/src/federation/feature-request.test.ts
Routing places the owner in queued messages. The worker restores the actor on a parsed actorless FeatureRequest while preserving the signed payload and normalized activity. Tests cover queued retries and replay contexts.

Document URL scheme validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reject unsupported document URL schemes
packages/fedify/src/utils/docloader.ts, packages/fedify/src/utils/docloader.test.ts, packages/vocab-runtime/src/docloader.ts, packages/vocab-runtime/src/docloader.test.ts, CHANGES.md, changes.d/fedify/document-url-schemes.md, changes.d/vocab-runtime/document-url-schemes.md
Both loaders reject protocols other than HTTP and HTTPS before fetching. Tests verify FTP and file URLs do not invoke fetch.

A parsed actorless FeatureRequest with no proofs is not authenticated.

Resolve web collection IDs through the document loader directly.
WebFinger's best-effort account discovery hides failures and should
not decide collection authorization. Classify the authoritative fetch
failure instead, while retaining verified lookup for portable IDs.
Replace account-fallback tests with checks that a collection 404 does
not trigger WebFinger even when that service is temporarily unavailable.

Exercise credential-bearing FeatureRequest instruments after HTTP,

that the inbox returns 400 without notifying listeners or loading the

The fixture routes the credential-bearing URL to a failing loader so
these tests fail if the pre-load credential guard is removed.

Treat returned 3xx FetchErrors and Node's credential-URL construction

Both built-in document loaders report redirect loops and exhausted
redirect limits as FetchErrors without responses. Recognize those known
failures so actorless FeatureRequests reject unusable collection lookups
instead of retrying them. Other response-less failures remain retryable.

Regression tests exercise HTTP and alternate-document chains through
both loaders with HTTP, LDS, and proof authentication. Additional cases
preserve timeout retries and cover Node's credential-URL error.

An empty actorIds list can hide anonymous actors, blank nodes, and
untyped values. Reject these explicitly declared actors rather than
replacing them with an inferred FeatureRequest owner.

Record contexts from the current parsing attempt and check actor
presence against that input view without re-fetching mutable contexts.
Reset the captured view on HTTP fallback and owner-proof retries.

allowPrivateAddress bypassed protocol validation along with address
checks. Reject unsupported schemes in both built-in loaders before
fetching initial URLs, redirects, or alternate documents. Restrict
FeatureRequest collection references to web or portable identifiers.

Keep transport failures retryable without adding runtime-specific
unsupported-scheme TypeError matching. Regressions cover both loaders
with private access enabled and all three inbox authentication modes.

Match the generated decoder's list-container interpretation before
counting owner values. Anonymous attributions must not disappear from
this check. Keep accepting lists containing only one owner.

Identify malformed hreflang values in the already-expanded document
using the generated decoder's language-tag normalization. Treat these
parser failures as permanent while preserving captured loader failures
for retry. Avoid changing public parser exception types in this patch.

P2 Badge Count untyped instrument values before owner inference

Fresh evidence beyond the earlier instrument-cardinality fix is that this round-trip counts only values retained by the generated decoder, not all values in the authenticated source. For a signed instrument: [{"name":"anonymous"}, collectionUrl], the untyped first node is omitted by the Object decoder, so both instrumentIds and request.toJsonLd() contain only the URL and this request is accepted despite declaring two instruments; preserve and count the authenticated source expansion instead of reconstructing it from the typed instance.

P2 Badge Reuse the failing expansion for temporal validation

Fresh evidence beyond the earlier temporal-field fix is that a changing remote context can make this diagnostic inspect a different document from the one that failed: if the first collection expansion maps an alias to malformed published or duration, ActivityObject.fromJsonLd(expandedCollection) throws, but this call re-expands collectionDocument through the live loader, whose next response can remap the alias. The helper then returns false and the RangeError is rethrown as a retryable 5xx; inspect the already-populated expandedCollection so the malformed sender-controlled view remains a 400.

P2 Badge Classify malformed collection multibase values as permanent

When an authenticated sender serves a FeaturedCollection with an embedded DataIntegrityProof whose proofValue uses an unsupported multibase prefix, the generated decoder calls decodeMultibase(), which throws a plain Error (packages/vocab-runtime/src/multibase/mod.ts:49-66). No wrapped loader has failed and this predicate recognizes neither that error nor the malformed proof value, so this rethrow turns permanently invalid sender-controlled data into a 5xx/retry loop rather than the established 400 response; positively classify malformed multibase proof/key fields as permanent.

P2 Badge Preserve portable collection attributions before decoding

Fresh evidence beyond the earlier attribution-cardinality fix is that the portable-ID branch never records the source expansion in expandedCollection. If a verified portable FeaturedCollection contains raw attributedTo: [{"name":"anonymous"}, ownerUrl], lookupObject()'s typed decoder omits the untyped value and this serialization reconstructs only ownerUrl, so the one-owner check passes and an owner-signed request is accepted despite the collection declaring two attribution values; carry the source expanded cardinality through portable lookup rather than deriving it from the lossy typed object.
