Summary

This PR adds a fallback WoT scoring path for users who do not follow anyone.

Problem

For no-follow accounts, the user-based WoT path could not produce meaningful scores, so the WoT ring stayed flat/empty.

What changed

  • Kept the existing WoT behavior for users who already follow accounts.
  • Added fallback scoring when follow count is zero.
  • Fallback uses bootstrap pubkeys as the scoring source.
  • Score is computed from follow/mute signals from the bootstrap set.

Why this matches issue #46

Issue #46 asks to fallback to bootstrap pubkeys when the user does not follow anyone.
This PR implements exactly that behavior.

Validation

  1. Ran lint successfully.
  2. Ran type-check successfully.
  3. Ran app locally and verified WoT rings on the People page.
  4. Verified no-follow flow uses fallback logic.
  5. Verified normal flow (with follows) remains unchanged.

Screenshots

Attached: People page screenshot showing WoT rings near profile names.

Calculating wot is pretty expensive, so we should try to calculate fallback only when user score is unavailable. The logic as is is also kind of confusing, see if you can make this more concise.

Hi @hodlbod, thanks for the review. I’m working on this right now. I’m updating it so fallback WoT is calculated only when user score is unavailable, and simplifying the logic for clarity.
