Composer: public/private visibility toggle (publiclyVisible) #18

Description

@Adron

Part of #17 — Message composer & feed parity gaps

Every message on the web is Public (visible to anyone on the feed and the author's
profile) or Private (visible only to the author), with a toggle in the composer and a default
taken from Settings → Message Settings.

Android never sends publiclyVisible, so the server default silently decides — the user has no
control and no indication of what they posted.

  • Add the toggle to the composer and send publiclyVisible.
  • Default it from the account's defaultPubliclyVisible preference (see the Settings epic), with
    a per-message override.
  • Show the resulting visibility on the message card, so a private post is unmistakable.
  • Push and Quote posts are always public — force and explain it there.

Tests: request carries the flag; default comes from preferences; override wins.


Filed from the parity review of feature/parity-wip @ 14d7795 against interlinedlist.com (OpenAPI /api/openapi.json, 233 paths) and the public help centre.
