Any signed-in account may praise any repository it can SEE — no capability letter, because the read gate has already decided whether the repository exists for this caller and past that gate praising is not a privilege anyone needs granting.

Per account, not per contributor: someone who has never authored an artifact can still say a repository is worth attention, which is why this cannot hang off the contributor pages.

praise.list filters by the VIEWER, never the owner. Praise is public; the existence of a private repository is not, and this is where the two meet.

UI deferred: the button belongs in the repo stats strip, which is on the unlanded clone-counts branch. check-in: f1a6be9a77 user: dmestas tags: praise
