Express's app-level body parser has a 100KB default limit that
runs before any route-level overrides. A 3K-line CSV at 113KB
exceeds this. Instead of sending raw CSV, the client now extracts
handles (first column only) and sends just the array — typically
under 90KB for 3000 accounts.
The app-level Express urlencoded parser (100KB limit) runs before
route-level middleware, so overriding the limit on the route doesn't
help. Solution: POST the CSV as JSON via fetch() to a dedicated
/admin/migrate/import endpoint with its own express.json({ limit: '5mb' }).
- Import button now shows "Importing..." while working
- Results appear inline without page reload
- Failed handles shown in a collapsible details element
- Import button disabled until a file is selected
- Alias form remains a regular POST (small payload, no issue)
- Add express.urlencoded({ limit: '5mb' }) to migration POST route
to handle large CSV files (default 100KB was too small)
- Add per-handle progress logging to console for monitoring imports
- Log failed handles with reasons (WebFinger failure, no AP link, etc.)
- Show failed handles in the UI result notification
- Use error notification type when all imports fail
Multipart form uploads fail because Indiekit has no multipart parsing
middleware. Instead, read the CSV file client-side with FileReader and
submit the text content as a hidden form field. Shows file name and
line count after selection for user confidence.
- Show current alias value on the page (persists across GET/POST)
- Pre-fill alias input with current value
- Add fieldset legend and per-item hints to import checkboxes
- Add intro paragraph explaining the migration flow
- Rewrite copy to be clearer and more reassuring
- Note irreversibility of step 3 explicitly
Indiekit's endpoint-posts accesses target.options.checked directly on
syndicator objects. Upstream syndicators are class instances with
this.options from the constructor. Our plain-object syndicator lacked
this property, causing a 500 TypeError on post creation.
The i18n system resolves dots as nested path separators, but migrate
keys were flat strings with dots in the key name. Restructure migrate
as a nested object with a title sub-key.
Rename all views to activitypub-*.njk to prevent collisions with other
plugins that have dashboard.njk (podroll). Fix all new Date() calls to
use .toISOString() per Indiekit convention. Add try-catch in syndicator
to prevent delivery failures from crashing post creation.
Express 5 uses path-to-regexp v8 which requires named wildcards.
Bare "*" is no longer valid — use "{*path}" instead.

Indiekit's getInstalledPlugins() assigns plugin.filePath via require.resolve().
Our getter made the property read-only, causing:
TypeError: Cannot set property filePath which has only a getter
Let Indiekit set it instead.

Implements full ActivityPub federation as an Indiekit plugin:
- Actor document (Person) with RSA key pair for HTTP Signatures
- WebFinger discovery (acct:rick@rmendes.net)
- Inbox: handles Follow, Undo, Like, Announce, Create, Delete, Move
- Outbox: serves published posts as ActivityStreams 2.0
- Content negotiation: AS2 JSON for AP clients, passthrough for browsers
- JF2-to-AS2 converter for all Indiekit post types
- Syndicator integration (pre-ticked checkbox for delivery to followers)
- Mastodon migration: alias config, CSV import for followers/following
- Admin UI: dashboard, followers, following, activity log, migration page
- Data retention: configurable TTL on activities, optional raw JSON storage
