• Blocking someone now also removes the stars between the two of you, both ways, deleted commits included
• The "starred" notifications for those stars go too
• The hot scores of the commits that lost a star are recalculated
• Unblocking doesn't bring the stars back

Walkthrough

Blocking a user now removes stars between the two users in both directions, deletes matching star notifications, and updates hot scores for affected commits. Tests cover reciprocal stars, soft-deleted commits, unrelated stars, notifications, and score recalculation. The knowledge base description reflects this behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 7bc0f

Star cleanup appears implemented, but the score test does not verify recalculation. Fix the test to protect that behavior; this is a bounded merge risk.

Make the test execute deferred score updates before asserting.

RefreshDatabase keeps the test inside an outer transaction. Both score recalculations use DB::afterCommit, so the assertion reads the factory's initial no-engagement score. The test can pass even when CreateUserBlock omits its hot-score update.

Run this test with a transaction setup that executes the after-commit callbacks, then assert that starring produces the engaged score before blocking and that blocking restores the no-engagement score.
