## 🎉 Major Feature: Complete Feed System Implementation
Implements the complete Timeline and Discover feed architecture for Coves,
following atProto patterns with proper separation of concerns (handlers →
services → repositories). This is a foundational feature for the alpha release.
### New Features
**Timeline Feed (User-Specific)**
- `social.coves.feed.getTimeline` XRPC endpoint
- Authenticated user feed showing posts from subscribed communities
- Full architecture: Handler → Service → Repository
- Integration tests with cursor pagination (368 lines)
**Discover Feed (Public)**
- `social.coves.feed.getDiscover` XRPC endpoint
- Public feed showing recent posts from all communities
- Optimized for performance with documented indexing strategy
- Comprehensive security tests (273 lines)
**Shared Infrastructure**
- Created `feed_repo_base.go` (340 lines) to eliminate code duplication
- Shared lexicon definitions in `social.coves.feed.defs`
- HMAC-SHA256 signed cursors for pagination integrity
- Consistent error handling across both feeds
### Technical Improvements
**Code Quality**
- Eliminated ~700 lines of duplicate code via shared base repository
* timeline_repo.go: 426 → 131 lines (-69% duplication)
* discover_repo.go: 383 → 124 lines (-68% duplication)
- Consistent formatting with gofumpt
- Comprehensive inline documentation
**Security Enhancements**
- HMAC cursor signing prevents pagination tampering
- CURSOR_SECRET environment variable for production deployments
- DID format validation (must start with "did:")
- Rate limiting strategy documented (100 req/min per IP)
- Input validation at handler level
**Performance**
- Database indexes documented for optimal query performance
- Cursor-based pagination for large result sets
- Efficient joins between posts, communities, and users
### Aggregator System Updates
**Documentation**
- Documented critical alpha blocker: aggregator user registration
- Aggregators cannot post until indexed as users in AppView
- Proposed solution: `social.coves.aggregator.register` endpoint
- Quick fix alternative documented for testing
**Code Cleanup**
- Consistent formatting across aggregator codebase
- Improved test readability
- Updated PRD with alpha blockers section
### Files Changed (30 files, +2406/-308 lines)
**New Implementations**
- `internal/api/handlers/timeline/` - Timeline XRPC handler
- `internal/api/handlers/discover/` - Discover XRPC handler
- `internal/core/timeline/` - Timeline business logic
- `internal/core/discover/` - Discover business logic
- `internal/db/postgres/feed_repo_base.go` - Shared repository base
- `internal/db/postgres/timeline_repo.go` - Timeline data access
- `internal/db/postgres/discover_repo.go` - Discover data access
- `internal/atproto/lexicon/social/coves/feed/` - Feed lexicons
- `tests/integration/timeline_test.go` - Timeline integration tests
- `tests/integration/discover_test.go` - Discover integration tests
**Updated**
- `cmd/server/main.go` - Feed service initialization
- `internal/api/routes/` - Timeline and discover routes
- `docs/aggregators/PRD_AGGREGATORS.md` - Alpha blocker docs
- `tests/integration/helpers.go` - Shared test utilities
### Testing
- ✅ All 11 integration tests passing
- ✅ Timeline feed with authentication
- ✅ Discover feed security validation
- ✅ Cursor pagination integrity
- ✅ Aggregator authorization flows

Adds design documentation for blob upload proxy system to enable
image/video posts in communities from external PDS users.
Problem:
Users on external PDSs cannot directly upload blobs to community-owned
PDS repositories because they lack authentication credentials for the
community's PDS.
Solution:
Coves AppView acts as an authenticated proxy for blob uploads via
social.coves.blob.uploadForCommunity endpoint.
Flow:
1. User uploads blob to AppView
2. AppView validates user can post to community
3. AppView uses community's PDS credentials to upload blob
4. AppView returns CID to user
5. User creates post record referencing the CID
6. Post and blob both live in community's PDS
Status: Design documented, implementation TODO
Priority: CRITICAL for Beta - Required for rich media posts
Implementation checklist includes:
- Handler endpoint
- User authorization validation
- Community credential management
- Upload proxy logic
- Security measures (size limits, content-type validation, rate limiting)
Updates PRD_KAGI_NEWS_RSS.md with Phase 1 implementation results:
Status changes:
- Status: Implementation Phase → Phase 1 Complete - Ready for Deployment
- Added comprehensive implementation summary section
- All 7 components marked as COMPLETE with test results
Documentation updates:
- Verified feed structure (3 H3 sections only)
- Timeline is website-only feature (not in RSS feed)
- Historical context woven into summary/highlights
- All components updated with implementation status
Test results documented:
- 57 tests passing with 83% coverage
- Detailed breakdown by component
- Test fixtures and strategies documented
Success metrics reorganized:
- Phase 1: Implementation - COMPLETE ✅
- Phase 2: Integration Testing - IN PROGRESS
- Phase 3: Alpha Deployment - planned
- Phase 4: Beta - planned
Added "What's Next" section:
- Immediate next steps for integration testing
- Open questions to resolve (DID creation, auth flow)
- Clear path to deployment
Key findings:
- Feed structure is stable and well-formed
- All essential data available in RSS feed
- Ready for Coves API integration
Adds all necessary configuration and deployment files:
Configuration:
- config.example.yaml: Example feed-to-community mappings
- .env.example: Environment variable template for credentials
- requirements.txt: Python dependencies (feedparser, bs4, requests, etc.)
- pytest.ini: Test configuration with coverage settings
Deployment:
- crontab: CRON schedule for daily feed fetching (1 PM UTC)
- README.md: Setup instructions, deployment guide, testing
Setup process:
1. Copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml and configure feeds
2. Set environment variables (AGGREGATOR_DID, credentials)
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run tests: pytest
5. Deploy with docker-compose (planned for Phase 2)
Ready for integration testing with live Coves API.
