Calling

await client.blockUsers({
  blocked_user_id: "user-123",
  user_id: "<moderator id>",
});

does not successfully block the user. The response is successful:

{
  duration: '33.95ms',
  blocked_by_user_id: '{{moderator id}}',
  blocked_user_id: '{{user-123}}',
  created_at: 2026-01-05T20:53:44.913Z,
  metadata: {
    clientRequestId: '965da726-58fc-4127-9292-20345d9b287d',
    responseHeaders: Headers {
      'access-control-allow-headers': 'x-requested-with, content-type, accept, origin, authorization, x-csrftoken, x-stream-client, stream-auth-type, x-csrf-token, content-encoding, x-client-request-id',
      'access-control-allow-methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS',
      'access-control-allow-origin': '*',
      'access-control-max-age': '86400',
      'cache-control': 'no-cache',
      'content-type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8',
      vary: 'Accept-Encoding',
      'x-ratelimit-limit': '300',
      'x-ratelimit-remaining': '299',
      'x-ratelimit-reset': '1767646440',
      date: 'Mon, 05 Jan 2026 20:53:44 GMT',
      'content-length': '172',
      'x-envoy-upstream-service-time': '85',
      'strict-transport-security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains, max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains',
      server: 'stream-edge'
    },
    responseCode: 201,
    rateLimit: {
      rateLimit: 300,
      rateLimitRemaining: 299,
      rateLimitReset: 2026-01-05T20:54:00.000Z
    }
  }
}

but the blocked user id isn't added to the blocking user's blocked_user_ids list, and the own_capabilities of the blocked user on the blocking user's feed are not changed, so the blocked user can access the blocking user's feed and follow them.
