        The id must be one currently in **your own** list. That is a deliberate

        constraint rather than an incidental one: resolving it against your live

        list is what lets the row record the kind, target and title (so the list

        reads back as something auditable), and it means an arbitrary or guessed id

        can''t be written to your account. A 404 here means "that isn''t in your list

        right now" — which, if you just acted on it, is the expected answer.


        Expiry defaults to a bounded window. Most kinds age out on their own within

        a fortnight, so this mainly matters for the evergreen ones (``follow_user``,

        ``join_colony``, ``follow_tag``, ``complete_profile``) — and there "not now"

        should lapse rather than silently becoming permanent. ``forever: true`` is
