+the conversation-list endpoint counts messages with
+``created_at > last_read_at`` (or all messages if never read) as unread for
+that participant. Nullable/no default so existing rows (none yet in

+Multiplexes presence, DM, and world-chat delivery over a single WebSocket
+endpoint (docs/planning/social.md US-2, US-4).
+
+Key features:
+- Authentication via JWT token (query param or initial auth frame).
+- Scoped subscriptions to DM conversations and world channels.
+- Server-derived presence heartbeat (Redis TTL refreshed periodically).
+- Broadcast presence changes (online/offline) to mutual friends.
+- Fan-out via Redis pub/sub.
+- Thread-safe & event-loop-safe dispatch for multi-instance and test environments.
+- Graceful reconnect without duplicate delivery or orphaned state.

+docs/planning/social.md §4/§5 (US-4). This module is models + schema only --

+belong to sibling tasks that depend on this one.
+
+Delete-behavior choices (mirrors ``app/models/world_content.py``'s
+established convention of preserving audit/history data over cascading it
+away):
+
+- ``conversations.user_a_id`` / ``user_b_id`` -> CASCADE. A DM conversation
+  is meaningless with one of its two (and only) participants gone, so
+  deleting either user removes the conversation outright, which in turn
+  cascades to its ``conversation_participants`` rows and its ``messages``.
+- ``conversation_participants.user_id`` -> CASCADE, ``.conversation_id`` ->
+  CASCADE. Pure join-table rows; they only make sense alongside both sides.
+- ``messages.conversation_id`` -> CASCADE. Deleting a conversation deletes
+  its message history with it.
+- ``messages.sender_id`` -> SET NULL (nullable). Unlike a DM conversation
+  (which dies with its participants above), world/room chat history and any
+  message under moderation review should survive the sender's account being
+  deleted -- the row just becomes attributed to no one, matching how
+  ``WorldChunk.updated_by_id`` / ``WorldChunkRevision.actor_id`` treat
+  actor references as SET NULL rather than cascading away history.
+- ``messages.world_id`` / ``room_id`` -> CASCADE. World/room chat has no
+  meaning once the world or room it was said in is gone; consistent with
+  ``WorldChunk``'s own CASCADE from both.
+- ``message_reports.message_id`` -> SET NULL (nullable). Same audit-trail
+  reasoning as ``WorldChunkRevision`` (world_content.py): a moderation
+  report is a record that something *was* said and reported, which must
+  outlive the underlying message being removed (e.g. as the moderation
+  action taken in response to the report itself).
+- ``message_reports.reporter_id`` / ``moderator_id`` -> SET NULL (nullable).
+  Actor references for an audit record; the report itself must survive
+  either account being deleted later, matching the actor-reference
+  convention above.

+"""User profile: bio, avatar reference, privacy settings, favorite worlds.
+
+This module is models + migration only -- the public profile view endpoint
+(``GET /api/profile/{user_id}``, which will need to interpret ``privacy_json``
+against the viewer's relationship to the owner) belongs to a sibling task
+that depends on this one. This task only owns the authenticated-owner
+read/write endpoints (``/api/profile/me`` and its ``favorites`` sub-resource).
+
+Design choices:
+
+- ``profiles.user_id`` is both the primary key and the FK to ``users.id``
+  (``ondelete="CASCADE"``) -- exactly one profile row per user, following the
+  same one-row-per-user shape as ``AvatarLoadout`` (app/models/avatar_loadout.py).
+  The row is created lazily (upserted) on first ``PUT /api/profile/me``
+  rather than at registration time, again mirroring ``AvatarLoadout``.
+- ``avatar_asset_id`` -> ``assets.id`` with ``ondelete="SET NULL"``. A
+  profile's chosen "avatar picture" asset is a soft reference: if the
+  underlying asset is later deleted the profile shouldn't be destroyed or
+  left pointing at a dangling id, it should just fall back to "no avatar
+  picture set" (nullable). The API layer additionally validates on write
+  that the referenced asset actually exists (existence is not enforced by
+  the FK alone at the API layer, since the FK only stops inserts of a
+  nonexistent id -- it doesn't tell the caller *why* their PUT failed).
+- ``bio`` is ``Text`` with the 500-char cap enforced at the API/schema layer
+  (Pydantic ``max_length``), matching how ``StatusUpdate.status_message`` in
+  presence.py enforces its length cap in the router rather than the schema.
+- ``privacy_json`` is JSONB (project convention for document-shaped fields --
+  see avatar_loadout.py, world_content.py) holding exactly three keys, each a
+  ``ProfileVisibility`` enum value (stored as its string value in JSON, not a
+  Postgres ENUM type -- there's no need for a DB-level enum since this is a
+  small, entirely API-validated document, and a plain JSONB column is easier
+  to extend with more privacy keys later without a migration):
+    - ``profile_visibility``: who can view the profile at all.
+    - ``friends_list_visibility``: who can see the user's friends list.
+    - ``favorites_visibility``: who can see the user's favorited worlds.
+  Each value is one of "public", "friends", "private". Defaults (applied when
+  a profile is first created) are all "public" -- the least surprising
+  default for a new social feature, matching the "everything visible unless
+  you lock it down" posture other social features here take by default
+  (e.g. presence/status has no privacy gate at all yet).
+- Favorites use a join table (``profile_favorites``: ``user_id`` + ``world_id``,
+  composite PK) rather than a JSON array column. A plain FK join table gets
+  referential integrity for free (a favorited world that's later deleted
+  disappears from favorites automatically via ON DELETE CASCADE, matching
+  how ``World.assets``/``World.rooms`` cascade), lets Postgres enforce
+  "no duplicate favorite" via the composite PK instead of API-layer
+  deduplication, and keeps "does this world still exist" as a DB invariant
+  rather than something every reader has to re-check against a JSON blob.
+  The tradeoff (an extra table/join vs. a single JSON column) is worth it
+  here because favorites are a list of foreign-key references, not a
+  free-form document -- the exact case join tables suit better than JSONB.

+
+docs/planning/social.md §4/§5 (US-4). Builds the send/list REST surface on
+top of ``app/models/chat.py`` (Conversation/ConversationParticipant/Message,
+already merged), ``app/services/text_filter.py`` (already merged), and
+``app/rate_limit.py`` (already merged).
+
+Endpoints:
+- POST /api/chat/dm/{user_id}/messages     -- send a DM to ``user_id``
+- GET  /api/chat/dm/{user_id}/messages     -- paginated history with ``user_id``
+- GET  /api/chat/dm/conversations          -- list the caller's conversations
+
+Scope/boundaries (per task): REST send/list only, no WebSocket/real-time
+delivery (separate task), no world/room chat (separate sibling task; that
+uses the same ``Message`` table but with ``world_id``/``room_id`` set and
+``conversation_id`` null).
+
+Design decisions this task owns:
+
+- **Blocking.** A block in *either* direction (blocker->blockee or
+  blockee->blocker) hard-prevents *sending* a new DM between the pair (403).
+  It does not hide history the pair already has -- ``GET .../messages``
+  still returns previously-exchanged messages after a block, consistent
+  with the "preserve history" convention documented in
+  ``app/models/chat.py``'s module docstring. Only sending is blocked.
+- **Text filtering.** Every DM body is run through the module-level
+  ``TextFilter`` (the deterministic default, ``ListBasedTextFilter`` in
+  ``FilterMode.REDACT``) before storing:
+    - ALLOW -> store the body as-is, ``filtered=False``.
+    - REDACT -> store ``filtered_text`` (matched spans starred out),
+      ``filtered=True``.
+    - REJECT -> nothing is stored; the sender gets a 422 explaining the
+      message was rejected by the content filter. (The bundled default
+      filter is configured in REDACT mode, so REJECT only fires for a
+      deployment that swaps in a stricter-configured filter -- the handling
+      is here regardless so that swap needs no router change.)
+- **Rate limiting.** Sending is capped via
+  ``rate_limit("chat_dm_send", max_hits=20, window_seconds=60)`` -- 20
+  DM sends/minute/client-IP, generous for real chat use and painful for a
+  spam bot. A no-op when ``settings.RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED`` is false (see
+  ``app/rate_limit.py``), matching every other rate-limited endpoint.
+- **Unread tracking.** A last-read timestamp per participant
+  (``ConversationParticipant.last_read_at``, migration 0010). Fetching a
+  conversation's *latest* page of history (``GET .../messages`` with no
+  ``before`` cursor) bumps the caller's own ``last_read_at`` to now; paging
+  into older history does not. ``GET /conversations`` computes each
+  conversation's ``unread_count`` as the number of messages from the peer
+  (``sender_id != caller``) with ``created_at > last_read_at`` (or all of
+  them, if the caller has never read the conversation).
+- **Pagination.**
+    - History (``GET {user_id}/messages``): cursor-based, newest-first.
+      ``limit`` (default 50, max 100) plus an optional ``before`` cursor (a
+      message id) that returns only messages older than that id. Response
+      includes ``next_cursor`` (the oldest returned message's id, to pass as
+      the next page's ``before``; null when there's no older history left).
+    - Conversation list (``GET /conversations``): plain ``offset``/``limit``
+      (default 20, max 100), ordered by ``Conversation.updated_at`` desc
+      (bumped on every new message in that conversation, not just via the
+      column's own ``onupdate`` -- see ``_touch_conversation`` below).
+- Both list endpoints are inherently scoped to the caller: the history
+  endpoint only ever resolves the conversation between the caller and the
+  path's ``user_id`` (no raw conversation id is ever accepted from the
+  client), and the conversation list only ever queries
+  ``ConversationParticipant.user_id == caller``. There is no way for a
+  client to address another pair's conversation.

+
+docs/planning/social.md §4/§5 (US-4). Builds the world- and room-scoped
+chat REST endpoints on top of ``app/models/chat.py`` (Message),
+``app/services/text_filter.py``, ``app/rate_limit.py``, and
+``app/services/chat_pubsub.py``.
+
+Endpoints:
+- POST /api/chat/world/{world_id}/messages  -- send a message to a world channel
+- GET  /api/chat/world/{world_id}/messages  -- paginated world chat history
+- POST /api/chat/room/{room_id}/messages    -- send a message to a room channel
+- GET  /api/chat/room/{room_id}/messages    -- paginated room chat history
+
+Features & invariants:
+- **Visibility enforcement**:
+  - PUBLIC worlds: accessible to any authenticated user.
+  - PRIVATE worlds: accessible only to the world owner.
+  - FRIENDS_ONLY worlds: accessible only to the owner and accepted friends of the owner.
+- **Room scoping**:
+  - If a room_id is specified, the room must exist and belong to that world.
+- **Text filtering**:
+  - Reuses ``default_text_filter()``:
+    - ALLOW: stored as-is, ``filtered=False``.
+    - REDACT: starred out, ``filtered=True``.
+    - REJECT: rejected with 422 Unprocessable Entity.
+- **Rate limiting**:
+  - ``rate_limit("chat_world_send", max_hits=30, window_seconds=60)``.
+- **Author display**:
+  - Returns author info (id, username, avatar_asset_id) for rendering.
+- **Real-time hook**:
+  - Publishes an event to Redis pub/sub channels (``world:{world_id}:chat``,
+    and ``room:{room_id}:chat`` if room-scoped) so the WebSocket gateway can
+    broadcast in real time.

+"""Redis-backed presence store.
+
+Presence is determined by a heartbeat TTL key in Redis:
+- heartbeat(user_id) sets a TTL key per user (default 60 s).
+- is_online(user_id) / is_online_batch(user_ids) check whether the key(s)
+  exist.
+
+status_message and last_seen_at are persisted in the ``users`` table by the
+router (app/routers/presence.py); this store only owns the Redis side.
+
+The Redis client is created lazily, on first actual use, rather than
+requiring an explicit ``connect()`` call during app startup. This matters
+because FastAPI's lifespan handler does not run under the plain
+``TestClient(app)`` instantiation this codebase's tests use (no
+``with`` block), so anything that only connected during lifespan startup
+would never connect in tests. Lazy connection means the store works
+identically whether the app was started for real or is being driven by
+pytest.
+
+The client is also cached per-*event loop* rather than globally: the same
+plain ``TestClient(app)`` pattern can dispatch different requests onto
+different event loops (see the NullPool comment on ``_override_db`` in
+tests/conftest.py for the analogous asyncpg problem), and an
+``aioredis.Redis`` connection, like an asyncpg connection, breaks with
+"Event loop is closed" if reused across loops. In the real running server
+there is exactly one event loop for the process lifetime, so this
+degrades to a single cached, pooled connection there.

+"""Pluggable server-side text filtering, `docs/planning/social.md` §4/§5 (US-4).
+
+social.md §4 calls for a "Pluggable `TextFilter` interface with a
+deterministic default (profanity list + normalization) so it runs without
+external services; third-party hook later". This module is that interface
+plus the default implementation:
+
+- `TextFilter` is a `Protocol` -- the extension point. A future third-party
+  moderation provider (a paid API, an ML classifier, etc.) just needs to
+  implement `check(text) -> FilterResult`; nothing else in this module
+  needs to change, and callers depend on the protocol, not a concrete
+  class.
+- `ListBasedTextFilter` is the deterministic default: a configurable
+  term list (JSON file, see `text_filter_terms.json` next to this module)
+  matched against a normalized form of the input text so that trivial
+  evasion (case changes, leetspeak substitutions, and punctuation/spacing
+  inserted between letters) doesn't slip through.
+
+Nothing here talks to a database, an HTTP client, or the FastAPI app -- it
+is a pure, side-effect-free (aside from reading the term list file once, at
+construction) service so it can be unit tested in isolation. It is NOT
+wired into any router/endpoint by this task; that's for the chat feature
+tasks that depend on it (social.md §6) to do.
+
+Normalization approach
+-----------------------
+Matching naively against raw text misses "sh1t", "@ss", or "s.h.i.t". To
+catch these without a real tokenizer, every character of the input is
+independently normalized to at most one lowercase ASCII alphanumeric
+character (case-folded, then run through a small leetspeak substitution
+table); characters that don't reduce to `[a-z0-9]` (punctuation, spacing,
+symbols, non-ASCII) are dropped entirely rather than kept as separators.
+This collapses "s.h.i.t", "s h i t", and "SHIT" to the same normalized
+string ("shit") that a plain lowercase term list entry matches, while a
+side table (`index_map`) remembers which original character produced each
+surviving normalized character -- so a match found in the normalized
+string can still be translated back into a span of the *original* text for
+redaction.
+
+This is a deliberate precision/recall tradeoff common to list-based
+filters: stripping separators and folding leetspeak increases recall
+against evasion at the cost of occasionally matching a term inside an
+unrelated longer word (e.g. a 3-letter term inside a longer benign word).
+That tradeoff is exactly why this is pluggable -- a deployment that needs
+tighter precision can swap in a smarter `TextFilter` implementation behind
+the same protocol.

+# Package Checkpoint 4 (PC4) — "A world you can build and be social in"
+
+> **Status: Complete & Verified.** PC4 delivers the integrated multi-user social world platform: in-game building and persistence (M2, M7), comprehensive social graph, chat, and presence (M8), virtual economy, marketplace, and creator payouts (M9), and home discovery with search, category filtering, and trending heuristics (M10).
+
+Built and verified by the Antigravity fleet, branch `agent/2b4212c24690-pc4-checkpoint` → `main`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. What's Real and Verified (`scripts/run_checkpoint_tests.py`)
+
+| Check / Subsystem | Status | Verification Detail |
+|---|---|---|
+| Alembic Migrations (0001 → 0015) | PASS | Hermetic clean run, head revision `0015_add_discovery_metadata` |
+| Backend API Test Suite | PASS | 100+ tests across auth, worlds, social, chat, wallet, marketplace, discovery |
+| Godot Headless Smoke Tests | PASS | 20+ headless smoke suites covering all UIs, network, avatars, economy, discovery |
+| 2-Player Multiplayer (`run_multiplayer_2p_test.sh`) | PASS | Real dedicated server + 2 simultaneous Godot client processes |
+| Fresh-Clone Boot (`verify_fresh_clone.sh`) | PASS | Clean clone imports, compiles, and boots without script errors |
+| Windows Desktop .exe Export | PASS | Packaged release binary with baked-in backend endpoint via `checkpoint_ops.py` |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Milestone Capabilities Included
+
+### M2 & M7 — World Persistence & In-Game Editor
+- **Server Persistence**: World rooms, chunk coordinates (cx, cy, cz), binary chunk payload codec, chunk revision audit trail.
+- **In-Game Editor**: Tools (Brush, Erase, Object Placement, Select, Transform), chunk edit model, undo/redo stack, non-blocking HTTP chunk saving.
+
+### M8 — Social: Friends, Presence, Chat, Groups & Profiles
+- **Social Graph**: Friend requests (pending, accepted, declined), follow/unfollow, bidirectional block enforcement.
+- **Presence & Status**: Real-time Redis-backed heartbeats with custom status messages, friends presence queries.
+- **Chat System**: 1-on-1 direct messaging, in-world spatial chat, chat moderation report queue with profanity filtering.
+- **Groups**: Group creation, membership roles (owner, admin, member), member management, group transfer.
+- **Public Profiles**: Bio, custom avatar rendering, favorite worlds listing, privacy controls.
+- **WebSocket Gateway**: Dual endpoint (`/api/ws`, `/v1/ws`) broadcasting presence and real-time chat messages.
+- **Godot Client & UIs**: `FriendsPresenceUI`, `ChatUI`, `ProfileUI`, `GroupsUI`.
+
+### M9 — Economy: Wallets, Marketplace & Creator Payouts
+- **Wallets & Ledger**: Double-entry accounting for balance credits, debits, transfers, and escrow.
+- **Purchases**: `PaymentProvider` abstraction with simulated and external payment confirmations.
+- **Marketplace**: Catalog item models, active listings, 30/70 platform/creator fee splits with atomic escrow settlement.
+- **Creator Payouts**: Payout request lifecycle (`pending` → `approved` / `rejected` → `paid`), admin audit review.
+- **Godot Client & UIs**: `WalletUI` (balance & transaction history), `MarketplaceUI` (browse & buy), `SellingPayoutUI` (create listings & request payouts).
+
+### M10 — Discovery: Browse, Search & Home Feed
+- **World Discovery Metadata**: Categories, tags (ARRAY with GIN indexing), play count, and last played timestamp.
+- **Visit Tracking**: Atomic increment of `play_count` and `world_visits` log with request deduplication.
+- **Browse & Search API**: Full-text name ILIKE query, category exact match, tag overlap (`&&`), sorting (`newest`, `most_played`, `trending`).
+- **Trending Heuristic**: Time-decay weighted scoring over recent visits (last 24h: 3x, 3d: 2x, 7d: 1x) via single aggregate outer-join query.
+- **Godot Client & UI**: `DiscoveryApiClient` and `DiscoveryUI` (`scenes/discovery_ui.tscn`) with live search, dropdown filters, pagination, and one-click world entry.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Playtest Guide
+
+1. **Dashboard Start**:
+   - Open http://localhost:7070/checkpoints
+   - Locate **PC4: A world you can build and be social in**
+   - Click **Start Backend** (launches backend on `:28004`, Postgres on `:25544`, ENet game servers on `27100–27149`)
+   - The backend automatically seeds the `playtester` account and 5 sample worlds across categories.
+2. **Download & Play**:
+   - Click **Download Windows .exe**
+   - Launch `agp-game.exe` (automatically targets the PC4 backend instance)
+   - Browse the **Discover** tab to see curated, trending, and categorized worlds
+   - Enter worlds, socialize, chat, trade in the marketplace, and build.

+## just trusting the 409 body's `current_revision`) so the editor's own
+## last-known state stays in sync with the store, matching what a real
