feat: embed follow badge for profiles matching activity graph

Summary

Users can now generate and embed a compact SVG follow badge on their GitHub profile README or repository headers (e.g. [![Follow @handle on /dev/null](https://dev-null.sh/@handle/badge.svg)](https://dev-null.sh/@handle)).

When readers click the badge, it links directly to the user's profile on /dev/null so they can follow them. The badge is designed to be visually consistent with the existing Activity Graph embed, supporting Light, Dark, and Auto theme modes.

Follow Badge

Dark:

  • Auto: Dynamically adapts to viewer's prefers-color-scheme
  • Design alignment: The badge card background, border stroke, typography, and lane accent dot strictly mirror the styling of the commit activity graph card.

Changes

  • SVG Follow Badge (resources/views/svg/user-badge.blade.php):
    • Structured as a single card (<rect class="card" ... rx="4"/>) matching the Activity Graph's card visual architecture.
    • Contains the /dev/null brand icon (.ink), text brand (.ink), user lane indicator dot (<circle class="lane" .../>), and follow handle message (.ink.mono).
    • Uses CSS classes (.card, .ink, .muted, .lane, .l0) with font stacks Geist and Geist Mono.
  • Dynamic Theming (app/Actions/CreateUserBadge.php):
    • Implements the exact same LIGHT and DARK color palettes as CreateUserActivityGraph.
    • Supports light, dark, and auto theme modes. Auto mode embeds @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) so the badge automatically flips theme inside GitHub READMEs based on the viewer's OS/browser mode.
  • Controller & Routes (app/Http/Controllers/UserBadgeController.php, routes/web.php):
    • Streamlined UserBadgeController to a single public show() action returning SVG responses, matching UserActivityGraphController and adhering to project architecture rules (ArchTest).
    • Added route GET /@{user:handle}/badge.svg with throttle:activity-graph and cache.headers:public;max_age=3600;etag.
  • Settings UI (resources/js/components/activity-graph-embed.tsx):
    • Added an embed type tab switcher between "Activity graph" and "Follow badge" with live preview and Markdown copy button.
    • Passes user lane in the preview URL to reliably bust SVG browser caching during theme/color changes.

Validation

All checks and tests pass locally:

  • Backend Feature & Unit Tests:
    php -d memory_limit=-1 vendor/bin/pest tests/Feature/Controllers/UserBadgeControllerTest.php tests/Unit/Actions/CreateUserBadgeTest.php tests/Feature/Controllers/UserProfileControllerTest.php tests/Unit/ArchTest.php
    $\rightarrow$ Pass (45 tests, 1,098 assertions).
  • Frontend Unit Tests:
    bun test tests/Unit/ActivityGraphEmbed.test.tsx
    $\rightarrow$ Pass (2 tests).
  • Type Checking:
    bun run test:types (tsc --noEmit && tsc --noEmit --project tests/tsconfig.json)
    $\rightarrow$ Pass (0 errors).
  • Static Analysis:
    vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
    $\rightarrow$ Pass (0 errors).
  • Code Style:
    vendor/bin/pint --dirty --test
    $\rightarrow$ Pass (100% compliant).
  • Build:
    bun run build
    $\rightarrow$ Pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added shareable follow badges in SVG format, with light, dark, and automatic theme options.
    • Added badge previews and embed snippets alongside activity graph embeds. Switch between graph and badge, choose a theme, and copy the snippet for the selected option.
    • Added badge links to user profiles, with badge colors that can reflect the selected activity lane.
    • Badges support public caching and conditional requests, helping repeat visits load efficiently.

Walkthrough

The change adds a themed SVG follow badge endpoint for user profiles. The profile editor now provides graph and badge embed tabs, previews, and Markdown snippets.

Changes: User badge

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate themed badge SVG
app/Actions/CreateUserBadge.php, resources/views/svg/user-badge.blade.php, tests/Unit/Actions/CreateUserBadgeTest.php
The action builds a follow message, calculates its width, selects light, dark, or automatic styles, and renders the SVG template. Unit tests check the generated SVG and text helpers.
Serve badge from profile route
app/Http/Requests/ShowUserBadgeRequest.php, app/Http/Controllers/UserBadgeController.php, routes/web.php, tests/Feature/Controllers/UserBadgeControllerTest.php
The route serves the generated SVG with public caching. The request resolves the theme query value. Feature tests cover caching, themes, lane colors, throttling, and missing profiles.
Add badge embed options to profile editor
app/Http/Controllers/UserProfileController.php, resources/js/pages/user-profile/edit.tsx, resources/js/components/activity-graph-embed.tsx, tests/Feature/Controllers/UserProfileControllerTest.php, tests/Unit/ActivityGraphEmbed.test.tsx
The profile page supplies a badge URL. The embed component adds graph and badge tabs, previews, theme-aware snippets, and a fallback badge URL. Tests cover the profile URL and rendered embed options.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d9ec6

The new follow badge endpoint and editor embed options look ready to merge. The badge route copies the activity graph route's caching and throttling setup, and no concrete defect was found.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to d9ec6

The badge adds a limited, read-only public surface without changing authentication for profile settings. No introduced vulnerability was established, but production handling of session cookies on publicly cached responses remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Unauthenticated callers gain another route-bound profile SVG read surface containing the target handle and lane styling. The endpoint does not itself perform a follow operation, change profile state, or accept an arbitrary destination URL.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The security candidate remains deferred, not verified: whether a deployed shared cache stores authenticated SVG responses and replays their session cookies to other clients is unknown. Matching activity-graph middleware already exists in the base; viewer-independent content does not by itself resolve cookie replay.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The profile editor remains authenticated. Its controller binds the current user and generates badgeUrl server-side; the embed consumer builds preview and Markdown URLs rather than issuing privileged mutations.
  • observed — Theme input is restricted through enum resolution, and the SVG template uses escaped Blade interpolation for the handle-derived message. The inspected web lane-update request constrains lane indices to 0–5 and custom colors to six-digit hexadecimal values; API lane validation was not fully traced.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider an explicit session-free response contract for both public SVG endpoints, with cookie-absence checks and validation of deployed shared-cache handling. This addresses an inherited uncertainty rather than a demonstrated new vulnerability.

the container from a tablist to a named group and expose each button’s selected
state with aria-pressed instead of tab roles and aria-selected. Keep the
existing button behavior and selection state.
