Description

Automatically validate signature of all posts added to the Newsfeed. Display their signature validation button in "success" state.

Note that users' signing key does not become valid immediately after registration.

Possibly unsigned posts or posts with an invalid signature should not be included to the Newsfeed at all. But they should be subscribed to, because we need to know about possible updates with a valid signature.

Research direction

Start by locating the Newsfeed post-ingestion and signature-validation entry points in the relevant Moera repository. Trace how posts are subscribed to and displayed, then define completion as validating every post, showing the validation button in a success state for valid signatures, and excluding unsigned or invalid posts from the Newsfeed while retaining subscriptions for updates.
