Let bots move their followers to a new actor - #57
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Operators need to retire a bot without losing its followers. Validate migration targets against their declared aliases, persist the successor before submitting Update and Move, and retain that state if notifications fail so they can be republished safely. Keep moved bots from publishing or accepting new follows, expose their successor in actor documents and public pages, and preserve existing messages. Support the migration state in every built-in repository with an atomic first-write-wins contract for custom repositories.

A dynamic successor dispatcher can fail independently of the retired bot. Fall back to the stored actor URI so its profile still renders and direct follow requests still return the persisted-move 409 response. fedify-dev#57 (comment) Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6.1-sol
An initial active-state check lets a move commit while a share is still being stored or submitted. Serialize successor writes with the entire share operation, including both submissions, for each bot on an instance. Keep target validation and migration notifications outside this boundary. Release the boundary on failures and check cancellation before queued successor writes. Document that separate instances/processes still need application-level coordination. fedify-dev#57 (comment) Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6.1-sol

When
accept()passes its successor check and waits forsendActivity(),move()can commit the successor and snapshot followers beforeaddFollower()runs. The follower can then miss the move’s Update and Move notifications. Run the successor check, delivery, and persistence under the same per-bot lock asSessionImpl.move(), with the check inside the lock.Suggested fix

A final successor check alone can still let a move commit while a post is being stored or submitted. Hold the existing per-bot instance lock through the final active check, persistence, and every publication submission, while keeping text rendering outside the lock. Use the same boundary for follow acceptance so the move's audience snapshot includes accepted followers. Check both pending and moved state inside the lock, including requests queued behind a move. Document these guarantees and the separate-process coordination limit. fedify-dev#57 (comment) fedify-dev#57 (review) Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6.1-sol

Addressed the outside-diff follow acceptance comment in this review in 12b9230. Acceptance now holds the per-bot lock from the pending/moved checks through delivery and follower persistence, so the move snapshot includes the accepted follower. |

Session.move()verifies that the fetched target lists the old actor inalsoKnownAs, then atomically recordsmovedTobefore sendingUpdateandMoveto the same follower snapshot, including local followers.The stored successor keeps the old bot from publishing or accepting new follows across restarts. Notification failures do not clear the successor because some followers may already have processed the move;
republishMove()revalidates the target and retries the notifications. Custom repositories must implementgetSuccessor()and atomic, write-oncesetSuccessor().Closes #50.
