• Federation engine: deliver activities to remote inboxes, fetch remote actors
• Client-to-Server (C2S) API: postToOutbox, getOutbox, getFollowers, getFollowing
• Inbox dispatcher with type-based routing and HTTP Signature verification
• Activity builders: buildFollow, buildAccept, buildReject, buildUndo, buildCreate, buildDelete, buildNote, buildCollectionPage, buildOrderedCollection, buildCollection
• Collection pagination: fetchCollection, fetchCollectionPage, fetchAllItems
• Built-in HTTP server (powered by pkg/powpow) with:

• Activity forwarding and shared inbox support
• Object retrieval with forward/fetch (object property resolution)
• ActivityStreams vocabulary types coverage
• Linked Data Signatures (2017/2019)
