TockTick: one rule set, two platforms

Phosra rules are written once by the parent and delivered, signed, to every platform the parent connects. TockTick is a second, short-video platform. It receives the same content rule as Chirp and also honors a rule Chirp can't: blocking direct messages from strangers.

Concept mockup — not wired up. These screens are drawn by hand, not captured from a running app. The content-rating rule is what the demo really runs on Chirp. The DM rule is an OCSS category (stranger_dm_block) that Gatekeeper can already receive, but @phosra/link 0.7.80 only lets a parent app request content_rating, so Guardian cannot ask for it yet.

1 · The parent sets rules once

Guardian holds Maya's rules, not each platform. Every connected platform gets the same signed profile and reports, rule by rule, what it applied.

T1One rule set for Maya GuardianRules belong to the child, not the app. Chirp has no DMs to restrict, so it reports the DM rule as unsupported instead of silently dropping it.

2 · Connecting TockTick reuses everything

The parent taps Connect another platform. The same Phosra Link dialog lists every rule, and TockTick's own sign-in and profile picker follow, exactly as with Chirp. The parent doesn't re-enter anything.

3 · Maya on TockTick

TockTick enforces the content rule in its feed and the DM rule in its inbox. Messages from strangers never reach her; friends still can.

4 · What a stranger sees

An account Maya doesn't follow tries to message her after a comment thread.

5 · Honest outcomes, per platform

Each platform signs a result for each rule. A platform that can't apply a rule says so, and the parent sees it — it's never silently dropped.

Rules owned by the parent app, not the platformRealGuardian's policy feeds every Link; demonstrated with Chirp in options 1 and 2.
Same content rule on a second platformNot builtOnly Chirp is wired. A second Gatekeeper platform would receive the same signed content_rating profile.
stranger_dm_block categoryRealDefined in OCSS (@openchildsafety/ocss lists 123 categories, including dm_restriction and stranger_dm_block).
Platform applying itSupported on the platform sideGatekeeper hands every rule in the verified profile, whatever its category, to the platform's apply / observe, and Phosra's Platform API page lists dm_restriction among the requests platforms receive. Not exercised in this repo: the local network only signs content_rating.
Parent app requesting itNot supported yet@phosra/link 0.7.80 accepts only content_rating policy and has consent copy only for it.
