feat: hybrid follow engine — LinkedIn WebView interaction, session management & deep-link fallback (#177)
* feat: Layer 2 WebView Follow Engine — LinkedIn In-App Connect + Session Management * fix: resolve TypeScript compilation issues and restore settings navigation * feat: WebView LinkedIn Connect Engine + Follow system (Section 6.9) - Backend: followRoutes returns webview strategy for LinkedIn/Twitter platforms - Backend: POST /api/follow/:platform/:targetUsername/log for telemetry - Backend: DELETE /api/follow/:platform/:targetUsername/log to reset Done state - Backend: public profile now returns followed:true for previously connected links - Backend: auth improvements — encode mobile redirect URI in OAuth state - Mobile: WebViewScreen — full LinkedIn JS injection engine with polling, MutationObserver, visibilitychange, popstate, and injectedJSBeforeContentLoaded - Mobile: DevCardViewScreen — premium UI, emoji icons, brand-colored buttons, Done tile with long-press reset, GitHub browser fallback - Mobile: HomeScreen — username search bar to view any DevCard profile - Mobile: App.tsx — hash fragment token extraction for OAuth deep links - Mobile: config.ts — auto-detects LAN IP via Expo Constants for Expo Go - Mobile: Expo migration — index.js, metro.config.js, babel.config.js, app.json - Tests: new follow.test.ts cases for webview strategy and log endpoint - Docs: README updated with telemetry and fallback overlay details - Config: docker-compose port 5433, .env.example LAN IP placeholders * fix: address PR review comments from Harxhit - prisma.ts: replace authenticate:any with proper typed signature (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply) => Promise<void> - auth.ts: replace err as any with instanceof Error check in both GitHub and Google OAuth catch blocks for type-safe error handling - Skeleton.tsx: replace width/height as any with DimensionValue type from react-native to preserve TypeScript safety * fix: address remaining PR review comments from Harxhit - connect.ts: replace err as any with instanceof Error check in GitHub connect catch block (same pattern as auth.ts fix) - MainTabs.tsx: extract WebViewConnect params into standalone exported type WebViewConnectParams for reusability and future maintainability - profiles.test.ts: replace mockPrisma as any with Pick<PrismaClient,'user'> and unknown cast to preserve TypeScript safety in tests

# DevCard Backend

3+
## Follow Engine Architecture
4+
5+
DevCard implements a multi-layered Hybrid Follow Engine designed to connect platform professionals seamlessly while maintaining platform policy compliance.

### Layer 2: WebView Interaction Engine (LinkedIn)
17+
18+
Due to LinkedIn's modern API restrictions preventing programmatic connection requests, direct API follow (Layer 1) is not viable. Instead, the WebView Interaction Engine routes the action through a secure, native WebView:
19+
20+
1. **Routing Strategy**: The backend parses the connection request and returns `{ strategy: 'webview', url }` containing the resolved profile link.
21+
2. **Session Persistence**: The mobile WebView loads the target profile URL using system-level OAuth cookie-sharing (`sharedCookiesEnabled={true}`), ensuring the user remains authenticated.
22+
3. **DOM Introspection**: A lightweight JavaScript snippet is injected to continuously poll for the native LinkedIn 'Connect' button, smooth-scrolls it into view, and highlights it visually to encourage action.
23+
4. **Interactive Send**: Users retain full control over actual connection request submission, adhering completely to platform terms of service.
24+
5. **State Detection**:
25+
- URL State Polling: The engine inspects URL transitions containing `invite-sent` or similar sub-routes.
26+
- DOM Observation: The injected Javascript queries for structural indicators of successful invitation (e.g. "Pending" button state or toaster text) and posts a serialized message back to the native layer.
27+
6. **Robust Fallback**: If network or WebView loading times out (>10s), the engine gracefully falls back to native deep links (`linkedin://profile?id={username}`) or launches the default browser with an interactive custom in-app overlay.
28+
7. **Telemetry Logging**: Upon client-side success (detected via state changes or DOM indicators), the mobile app makes a `POST /api/follow/:platform/:targetUsername/log` request to the backend. This writes a record to the `FollowLog` database table for auditing and analytics tracking.
