Sim profile interview picker — show all community templates

@daviddao

A user reported that an interview template authored on the Flourishing Floor gathering by another user never appeared in the picker on a Sim profile page — only the facilitator's Default Constitution showed up. After patching fetchInterviewTemplates to also resolve every suggestedInterviewTemplates ref attached to any gathering (plus the viewer's own PDS), the “Flourishing Interview” template now lists under a new From the community section.

Why it was broken

$ curl -sX POST 'https://simocracy-indexer-production.up.railway.app/graphql' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"query":"query F($collection:String!,$first:Int){records(collection:$collection,first:$first){edges{node{uri}}}}",\
         "variables":{"collection":"org.simocracy.interviewTemplate","first":100}}' \

What changed

Walkthrough

01Click INTERVIEW on a Sim profile (Nyaori Katalog) → intro modal explains the 3-step flow.

02 — beforeOld picker: only the facilitator's Default Constitution appears under Curated. The Flourishing Floor template is missing entirely.

03 — afterNew picker: a From the community (1) group surfaces Flourishing Interview alongside the curated default.

04Selecting Flourishing Interview highlights it and enables Start →.

05Starting the interview loads Question 1 of 12 from the community template — the values prompt from the Flourishing Floor brief.

Verification against the PDS

The Flourishing Floor gathering record (indexed) lists exactly one suggestedInterviewTemplates ref:

$ curl -sX POST 'https://simocracy-indexer-production.up.railway.app/graphql' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"query":"query F($collection:String!,$first:Int){records(collection:$collection,first:$first){edges{node{value}}}}",\
         "variables":{"collection":"org.simocracy.gathering","first":100}}' \
  | jq '[.data.records.edges[].node.value | select(.name|test("Flourish";"i"))
          | {name, suggested: (.suggestedInterviewTemplates // [])}]'
[
  {
    "name": "Flourishing Floor Digital Twin Experiment",
    "suggested": [
      {
        "cid": "bafyreibm4mpvr6bpawu5lavrv7knlgi64wtkd5wk36dt4hdlo77bd7u2lu",
        "uri": "at://did:plc:4a4ekfv5ks66ogf52xh5u5mg/org.simocracy.interviewTemplate/3mk6xvrl6lc22"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Resolving that AT-URI from the owner's PDS confirms the template the picker now surfaces:

$ curl -s "$(curl -s https://plc.directory/did:plc:4a4ekfv5ks66ogf52xh5u5mg | jq -r '.service[0].serviceEndpoint')\
/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.getRecord" \
  --data-urlencode "repo=did:plc:4a4ekfv5ks66ogf52xh5u5mg" \
  --data-urlencode "collection=org.simocracy.interviewTemplate" \
  --data-urlencode "rkey=3mk6xvrl6lc22" -G \
  | jq '{name: .value.name, qs: (.value.questions | length)}'
{
  "name": "Flourishing Interview",
  "qs": 12
}
