Activity-Relay 3.0.1 is a focused reliability release for follower-state handling and relay fan-out.

Fixed

• Prevent stale mutual-follow responses from recreating incomplete Redis follower records.
• Validate follower state before persistence.
• Ignore malformed persisted follower records when loading relay state.
• Isolate invalid or unplannable delivery targets so one bad receiver cannot abort healthy fan-out.
• Keep queue reservations and remaining-delivery counts aligned with deliveries actually planned.
• Harden manual follower acceptance ordering.
• Update Forgejo container/release CI for Debian Trixie’s split Docker client packages.

No configuration or data migration is required.

The 3.0.1 candidate was production-tested on relay.argentwolf.org, including real WordPress fan-out to healthy Friendica and Mastodon receivers while an independently failing receiver continued through its isolated retry path.

Container: ghcr.io/thystra/activity-relay:3.0.1
