EWP Core Flows

These flows describe how epress world protocol is executed by interoperating epress node instances.

Follow Handshake Flow

Follower signs a follow intent, followee verifies trust conditions, then both nodes persist relationship state.

Signed publication payloads are pushed, verified by followers, then resolved into local timeline data.

Profile changes are broadcast as signed updates and applied only when the incoming timestamp is newer.

Unfollow requests are signed and verified with role-aware orientation, then connection state is removed.
