+Confirmed **Watch issue** actions on any open issue also feed the mobile **Following** queue,

+flow without changing ownership or scheduling work. Following is a read-first,
 account-scoped collection: it is encrypted at rest, revisioned, bounded to 50 canonical issues,
 and synchronized across signed-in devices. Opening a row reuses Search Preview; confirmed
 **Stop watching** removes it, while failed or unconfirmed Gitea mutations leave the collection
