feat: show number of social mentions on package page - #3414
It occurred to me that Constellation indexes backlinks and their totals, so we can cheaply fetch the number of mentions on Blueksy for a given package.
So, why not? It's a useful social signal and encourages discussion and connection.
📚 Description
This PR adds a package's social mentions count next to its likes count.
It counts the number of mentions of the package URL (both npmjs.com and npmx.dev).
It links to a Bluesky search.
It is rendered only lazily on the client.
It's cached on the server with SWR for 1 hour and allows browser to do the same.
I considered not rendering it at all when there are zero mentions, but that's tricky for CLS and prevents the "fosters discussion" aspect somewhat.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Package pages now show an approximate count of unique Bluesky posts mentioning the package, alongside existing package metrics, with a link to search those posts.
A loading indicator appears while the count is being retrieved. Counts above the display limit are shown as 99+.
Mention counts are available in English and French, with singular and plural labels.
The package header now displays social mention counts. A server endpoint counts unique Bluesky posts that link to a package and caches the result. The client component fetches and displays the count with a translated label and a Bluesky search link.
Changes: Package social mention counts

Summary
Define mention data and package references shared/types/social.ts, shared/utils/constants.ts, server/api/social/like.post.ts, server/api/social/likes/[...pkg].get.ts, server/utils/atproto/utils/likes.ts, test/unit/server/utils/likes-evolution.spec.ts
The shared type defines the mention response. The shared constants define the cap and package subject reference function. Existing likes code and its test stub use the renamed function.
Calculate and cache mention counts server/utils/atproto/utils/social-mentions.ts, test/unit/server/utils/social-mentions.spec.ts
The utility queries embedded and facet backlinks, deduplicates posts, caps results, and caches totals. Unit tests cover pagination, deduplication, cap boundaries, cache hits, and empty results.
The GET handler validates package route input, retrieves mention counts, sets public cache headers, and handles retrieval errors.
Display counts in the package header app/components/Package/SocialMentions.vue, app/components/Package/Header.vue, i18n/locales/*.json, i18n/schema.json, test/nuxt/components/Package/SocialMentions.spec.ts, test/nuxt/a11y.spec.ts
The client component fetches and renders mention counts with loading and capped states, translated labels, and a Bluesky search link. Component and accessibility tests cover the rendered output.

Review comments at @app/components/Package/SocialMentions.vue:
- Around line 10-31: Update the SocialMentions fetch state and count display to
distinguish request failures from successful zero-mention responses. Use the
error state from useLazyFetch to hide or flag the count when fetching fails,
while keeping “0 mentions” visible after a successful response with zero
mentions.
Review comments at @i18n/locales/fr-FR.json:
- Around line 456-458: Update the `social_mentions.label` plural forms in the
French locale so a count of zero displays the singular “mention”, while
preserving the existing singular and plural forms for other counts.
Review comments at @server/api/social/mentions/[...pkg].get.ts:
- Around line 27-39: Handle decoding failures from decodeURIComponent separately
in the social mentions handler and return a 400 client error for malformed
package encoding; preserve the existing 502 handling for other failures.
Review comments at @server/utils/atproto/utils/social-mentions.ts:
- Around line 44-67: Bound the pagination loop in constellationPostKeys so a
large backlink set cannot trigger unbounded sequential requests; when the limit
is reached while data remains, represent the result as truncated and ensure the
caller handles the count explicitly rather than treating partial post keys as
complete.
- Around line 69-90: Update getMentions to coalesce cache-miss refreshes by
package so concurrent requests await one result instead of repeating the
Constellation crawls. Use an established cross-instance coordination mechanism;
first establish which shared coordination facility is available, since
process-local state alone does not meet the requirement. Preserve the cache-hit
path and ensure coordination is released when a refresh completes or fails.

Test refetching after a package name change.
Change packageName after the first count loads, then assert the new count and search link. The current tests use fixed names, so they would not catch a stale count after a prop change.

Follow cursors before capping the count.
Constellation can return a cursor on a short page because deleted records still occupy pagination slots. A package with fewer than 100 live mentions can therefore show 99+ for an hour. Follow cursors until you find 100 unique posts or exhaust both paths.

If Constellation fails on a cache miss, subsequent uncached requests each start two more upstream lookups. This increases outbound traffic during an outage.
Store a short-lived failure marker separately from successful counts. Check successful counts first, and return an error while the failure marker is active.
