A follow Network took is notified by Network, not pushed from Live (roadmap WS-E task 3, D08; Network 8188c26). Both follow routes pushed a FOLLOW notification over Network's internal route for every follow. Network now sends one itself when a follow starts in its graph, so the routes push only when writeThrough says Network did not take the follow (w.network false: FOLLOWS_AUTHORITY unset, or a side with no Network subject), which keeps the rollback path notifying. The PowerChat follow alert and the OpenCoins award stay here. test/network-follows.test.js checks that each route pushes FOLLOW only under !w.network. npm test 150/150.
