social.coves.community.acceptance

A community's attestation that it accepts a post. Written only by the community's key holder, automatically once admission checks pass - machine attestation, not human approval. The community is implicit in the repository this record lives in. The record key is deterministic: the unpadded lowercase base32 encoding of the SHA-256 digest of the canonical subject AT-URI (fixed 52 characters, always rkey-safe), so a post has exactly one acceptance rkey per community, concurrent writers converge idempotently instead of allocating duplicates, and re-acceptance after an author edit is an update of this same record in place. Repo placement attributes authorship as vouched for by a verifying relay or a direct DID-resolved PDS fetch; firehose events themselves carry no commit-signature proof. If the author deletes the subject post, the community host deletes this acceptance on observing the tombstone; consumers treat an acceptance whose subject is gone as inert.
