Ensure story media lands on and stays on cloud storage for S3 instances.
- StoryExpire: archive expiring story media on the same explicit disk the
media lives on (S3 move is a server-side copy+delete), with error handling
- Add admin:StoryMoveStorageLocalToCloud to migrate local story media
(active + story_archives) to cloud: copy, verify by size, then delete local
- --orphans option relocates untracked story_archives/ files to cloud using
the same copy/verify/delete flow (media is moved, never discarded)
- Schedule it hourly alongside the media migration when cloud storage is on
1. Add FractalService with static item() and collection() helpers
replacing 22 call sites that repeated the 4-line Fractal Manager
+ ArraySerializer boilerplate.
2. Add AccountInterstitial::createFromStatus() factory method
consolidating 4 identical 15-line blocks that create interstitials
with status metadata.
3. Add NotificationService::createNotification() to handle the
repeated pattern of creating, caching, and registering a
notification in the recipient's feed.
4. Add NotificationService::firstOrCreateNotification() for
idempotent notifications (share/boost, mention) that should
only notify once per actor+action+item combination.
Add ActivityPubDeliveryService::pool() using Laravel's Http::pool() to
consolidate the duplicated delivery pattern found across 10 jobs.
Updated jobs:
- StatusActivityPubDeliver
- StatusDelete
- StatusLocalUpdateActivityPubDeliverPipeline
- FanoutDeletePipeline
- SharePipeline
- UndoSharePipeline
- StoryFanout
- StoryExpire
- StoryDelete
- ProfileMigrationDeliverMoveActivityPipeline
The shared method accepts a Profile (sender), audience (inbox URLs),
and activity (payload array), handling signing, user-agent, timeout,
and concurrency in one place. No direct Guzzle usage remains in
app/Jobs/.
Move all Eloquent models from the app/ root directory to app/Models/
for consistency with modern Laravel conventions. The project already had
54 models in App\Models; this migrates the remaining 52 legacy models.
Changes:
- Move 52 model files from app/ to app/Models/
- Update namespace declarations in each model
- Update all ~1000 import references across the codebase
- Add Relation::morphMap() in AppServiceProvider for backward
compatibility with existing polymorphic database records
- Add missing HasSnowflakePrimary imports for models that relied
on same-namespace resolution
Previous config (timeout=5, tries=1) was too aggressive — a single
transient failure would permanently lose the status publication.
New config:
- timeout: 5 → 30 (sufficient for DB check + job dispatch)
- tries: 1 → 3 (recover from transient Redis/DB issues)
- maxExceptions: 1 (don't retry actual bugs)
- backoff: [5, 10] (exponential delay between retries)
Replace direct GuzzleHttp\Client and Pool usage in fanoutDelete()
with Laravel's Http::pool() facade. This provides:
- Testability via Http::fake() in tests
- Consistent timeout/retry configuration
- No direct Guzzle dependency in application code
- Proper integration with Laravel's HTTP client features
- Delete app/Jobs/RemoteFollowPipeline/RemoteFollowPipeline.php
- Delete app/Jobs/RemoteFollowPipeline/RemoteFollowImportRecent.php
- Neither job is dispatched anywhere in the codebase
- Remote follow is handled by ActivityPub Inbox and FollowPipeline
- AdminReportController: fix closure param name and remove reference to
undefined $meta variable
- GroupsPostController: replace $status with $gp (the actual GroupPost
variable in scope)
- PortfolioController: replace undefined $metadata with null
- DeleteWorker: remove Cache::set() call with undefined $key
Convert all 273 short facade alias imports (e.g. 'use Cache;') to their
fully-qualified class names (e.g. 'use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;')
across 193 files.
This resolves 643 PHPStan 'class.notFound' errors caused by the static
analyzer being unable to resolve global aliases, and aligns with modern
Laravel conventions. It also unblocks removing the aliases array from
config/app.php in a future change.
All 107 tests pass.
str_random() is a deprecated helper from laravel/helpers that was
missed in the initial helpers removal. Replace all 18 call sites
with the modern Str::random() equivalent.
Replace all deprecated helper function calls:
- str_slug() → Str::slug()
- starts_with() → str_starts_with()
- ends_with() → str_ends_with()
- array_first() → Arr::first()
- array_last() → Arr::last()
- array_flatten() → Arr::flatten()
Remove laravel/helpers package from composer.json as it is no longer
needed and will not be maintained for Laravel 13.
PHP 5.5.9 adds the new static `class` property which provides the fully qualified class name. This is preferred over using strings for class names since the `class` property references are checked by PHP.
Blurhash::generate() allocates one PHP array per pixel of the source. At
roughly 255 bytes per pixel (measured: 224 MB peak for a 720x1280 frame) a
1920x1080 frame approaches half a gigabyte.
Image thumbnails survive this because they are capped at 640x640 in
Image::__construct() *and* run under that constructor's
ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M'). Video thumbnails get neither: FFmpeg saves
them at the source video's resolution, and VideoThumbnail never raises the
limit. So a video whose frame is 1080p or larger exhausts memory_limit.
That is a PHP fatal, not an \Exception, which has three consequences:
- the catch block in VideoThumbnail::handle() does not catch it
- the job never lands in failed_jobs, so nothing reports a problem
- MediaStoragePipeline::dispatch() on the last line of handle() never runs
The video therefore stays on local disk permanently while images beside it
replicate normally. Reported in #2652 (2021-02-13) and diagnosed correctly in
that thread on 2021-11-04.
Two changes:
1. Blurhash::generate() downscales to 128px on the long edge before sampling.
The result is a 4x4-component DCT, so full-resolution sampling adds
essentially nothing: measured against the full-resolution hash, mean
per-channel deviation of the decoded 24x24 preview is ~7.5/255 at a 32px
sample, ~4.5/255 at 64px, ~2.5/255 at 128px, and no better at 256px. Peak
memory for the frame above drops from 224 MB to 6 MB.
This removes the ceiling for every caller rather than moving it, which is
all that raising memory_limit would have done. Existing stored hashes are
not recomputed, so nothing already published changes appearance.
2. VideoThumbnail wraps the blurhash in its own try/catch, so a decorative
step can no longer skip the replication dispatch. Change 1 covers the
fatal; this covers any ordinary exception.
Verified on a live instance with S3 cloud storage: a 1920x1080 video that
previously stranded now generates a blurhash, uploads original and thumbnail
to the bucket, sets cdn_url/thumbnail_url/replicated_at, and removes the local
copies. Existing images re-hash to visually identical previews.
