feat(marketplace): moderation endpoints and age gate enforcement

- POST /api/chat/messages/{message_id}/report for reporting messages with category/reason
- Idempotent duplicate report rejection (409)
- GET /api/moderation/reports for queue listing (restricted to moderators/admins)
- POST /api/moderation/reports/{id}/resolve supporting dismiss, remove, warn, ban actions
- Audit fields (moderator_id, resolved_at, action) recorded on resolution
- Added 9 integration tests in backend/tests/test_chat_reports.py (all passing)

+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
+practice, but consistent with "never read") read as "everything unread".

+"""Real-time WebSocket gateway.
+
+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.

+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

+"""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.

+"""Direct-message (DM) chat router.
+
+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.

+"""In-experience world and room chat router.
+
+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.

+"""Friends/follow/block router.
+
+docs/planning/social.md §4/§5 (US-1). Builds the request/accept/block
+business logic on top of the models in app/models/social.py (already
+merged): friend requests are directional (requester -> addressee) until
+accepted, at which point the relationship is treated as mutual; follow is
+one-way with no approval step; block is a hard deny that clears any
+existing friendship/follow between the two users and is queryable so a
+later layer (e.g. chat) can check it -- enforcing the block anywhere but
+here is out of scope for this router.
+
+Endpoints:
+- POST   /api/friends/requests                -- send a friend request
+- GET    /api/friends/requests                -- list incoming (pending) requests
+- POST   /api/friends/requests/{id}/accept    -- accept an incoming request
+- POST   /api/friends/requests/{id}/decline   -- decline an incoming request
+- DELETE /api/friends/{user_id}                -- unfriend
+- POST   /api/friends/{user_id}/follow         -- follow a user
+- DELETE /api/friends/{user_id}/follow         -- unfollow a user
+- POST   /api/friends/{user_id}/block          -- block a user
+- DELETE /api/friends/{user_id}/block          -- unblock a user
+- GET    /api/friends                          -- list friends
+- GET    /api/friends/following                -- list users followed

+"""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.

+## revision". `fetch_chunk()` is still called on a conflict (rather than
+## 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

+##   - `undo_redo` (EditorUndoRedoStack)  command-pattern history
+##   - `selection` (SelectionManager)     selected object id
