Bradley Axen	a3a47e6294	feat(relay): add an unlisted channel setting (#8579) ... 🤖 ## Summary Sharing a Solo chat with a large channel today means adding every person as a member, one at a time, and the app blocks the share past 100 people. The plan is to share it the way Google Docs does with "anyone at the company with the link". Buzz's `open` visibility already gives that kind of access: anyone in the community can read and join an open channel. The problem is that an open channel also shows up in everyone's channel list and search, and a private chat shouldn't appear there just because its link was posted somewhere. This PR adds a channel setting, `unlisted`. An **unlisted open channel** can be read and joined by anyone who names it by id (from a shared link). For non-members, it is left out of every read that does not name it. Members see it as before. This is the relay side only; the buzz-app change comes later. #8575 (batch adds) remains the path for small audiences. Unlisted is not an access control. Anyone who has the id can read the channel, and that is intended. ## Solo flows this supports Each user action is one event. The buzz-app side comes later; the relay supports all of these now. | Flow | Event | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | New Solo chat | kind:9007 `visibility private` + `["unlisted", "true"]` | The chat starts unlisted, so it stays unlisted when any client later opens it. | | Share | One kind:9002: `visibility open` + `unlisted true` + `join_role guest\|member`. Then post the link. | Anyone with the link can read the chat by id, both history and live. Nobody is added as a member, so the chat isn't in anyone's channel list. A non-member can't post; `join_role` decides whether someone who joins can. | | View | A REQ that names the chat by `#h`, or by `#d` for its metadata | A non-member can read it. It is never listed for them. | | Reply | kind:9021 join (the app sends it before a viewer's first reply) | Joining makes them a member with the role from `join_role`, so with `member` they can post. A kind:9022 leave makes them a viewer again; the chat stays readable by id. | | Unshare | kind:9002 `visibility private` | The existing open→private eviction closes non-members' live subscriptions. New reads by non-members are refused. | | Convert to a channel | One kind:9002: `["t", ""]` + `unlisted false`, plus `visibility` | Clears the Solo label. Non-members can now find it in discovery. | **Sidebar pins are not relay state.** Pin and unpin live in the app's existing kind:30078 sidebar preferences, which sync across devices and don't touch membership. Don't map them to join/leave: someone a chat was shared with by member add is already a member, so a leave would remove their access. Your own Solo chats keep showing up, because you're their owner member, and members see unlisted channels everywhere. Existing Solo chats aren't backfilled. They get the flag when they're shared, because the share event sets it. **Open question, not built here:** someone who only views a shared chat isn't a member. A mention of them doesn't reach their inbox (`#p:[me]` without `#h`) and sends them no push. ## Behavior | Reader | Reads that don't name the channel (kind:39000 without `#d`, `#P` creator queries, messages, COUNT, NIP-50 search, artifact queries, channel list) | Reads that name it (`#h`, or `#d` on 39000–39003) | kind:9021 join | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Member | Listed | Readable | n/a | | Non-member, unlisted open channel | **Not listed** | Readable | Works; `join_role` still decides the role | | Non-member, private channel (unlisted or not) | Not listed | Not readable | Refused | - **Setting it:** kind:9002 `["unlisted", "true"]` / `["unlisted", "false"]`. Owner or admin only, like `visibility`. A missing tag means no change. It can be sent in the same event as `["visibility", "open"]`, so a private chat becomes open and unlisted in one step. Any other value is refused before the event is stored. The relay posts an `unlisted_changed` system message and clears the accessible-channels cache across nodes. Nobody loses access when a channel is unlisted, so no subscriptions are evicted. - **At creation:** kind:9007 also takes `["unlisted", "true"|"false"]`. A missing tag means listed. Any other value is refused before the event is stored, as on kind:9002. It is stored with the channel row in the create's transaction, on both the client-UUID path and the relay-chosen-UUID path. - **kind:39000** carries a bare `["unlisted"]` flag while the setting is on. It does not add NIP-29 `hidden`, so the metadata stays readable by id. - **NIP-11** advertises `buzz-unlisted-channels` in `supported_extensions`. A relay without this PR would apply `["visibility", "open"]` and ignore `unlisted`, which would list the chat publicly. So buzz-app must check for the extension before it sends that pair. - **CLI:** `buzz channels update --channel <id> --unlisted true|false` and `buzz channels create ... --unlisted`. `buzz_sdk::build_update_channel` takes a new `unlisted: Option<bool>` argument, and `buzz_sdk::build_create_channel` takes `unlisted: bool`, which emits the tag only when true. ### Open question: does `unlisted` only mean something when the channel is open? **Decision: store it on its own; it only has an effect while the channel is open.** Private channels are already invisible to non-members, so on a private channel the flag does nothing. It is still stored and published, for three reasons: - a client can mark a Solo chat unlisted before opening it, or in the same event that opens it, so the chat is never listed even for a moment; - switching private → open → private → open keeps the setting; - there is no cross-field rule in kind:9002 to validate or keep in sync. kind:39000 publishes the flag as stored, whatever the visibility, so clients can show the setting. ## How The relay already has a "readable only when named" path for system channels (NIP-CL). Unlisted open channels reuse it: - **`get_accessible_channel_ids`**: the open half (the implicit scope of a REQ that doesn't name a channel) adds `AND NOT unlisted`. The member half is unchanged, so members still have the channel. - **`get_readable_named_only_channels`**: also returns unlisted open channels of the legacy types. Every reader of that set (REQ, COUNT, NIP-50 search, HTTP `/query` and `/count`, thread windows, workflow run reads) adds a named-only channel only to a filter that names it, through `filter_channel_scope`. An unlisted channel's type is `stream`/`forum`, so the `#t:["system"]`/`#P` system opt-in never adds it. - **`get_accessible_channels`** (the channel list): open channels are listed to non-members only when not unlisted. - **`query_artifacts`**: an artifact in an unlisted open channel reaches a non-member only when the query's `#h` names that channel. - **Live fan-out:** no change was needed. A global subscription never receives channel-scoped events, kind:39000 included (`fan_out_scoped`). A channel-scoped subscription has to name the channel, and that goes through the same named-only authorization. **Left alone on purpose:** access checks that read a named channel or event keep treating an unlisted channel as open. These are `handle_join_request` (kind:9021), the ingest write gate, operator-listener mention delivery (`load_deliverable_event`), personal read-state writes, and push matching. Push matching still requires membership, so non-members get no pushes from an unlisted channel. **Named reads checked:** these callers use the implicit channel set (`get_accessible_channel_ids`, its cache, `get_accessible_channels`). Every one that reads a channel the request names also adds the named-only set, so a non-member can still read an unlisted open chat by id. That covers WS REQ (history, live registration, NIP-50 search), WS COUNT, HTTP `/query` and `/count`, thread windows and workflow run reads. Other named reads don't use the implicit set: they check visibility or membership, so an unlisted open chat counts as open. Those are live fan-out, the ingest write gate, typing, kind:9021 join, huddle audio join, operator-listener delivery, the workflow sink and read-state writes. Feed queries (mentions, needs-action, activity) and the `/buzz/v1/me/sidebar` accessory API are lists, so leaving out chats you only view is intended. Media reads don't check channels. `buzz-auth`'s `ChannelAccessChecker` has no production implementation. ## Database (docs/database.md checklist) - **Phase:** expand only. The migration adds a column with a constant default, and the same release ships the code that reads and writes it. No backfill or contract step follows. - No trigger, function, procedure, rule or foreign key is added. - No migration changes existing rows. `ADD COLUMN ... BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE` stores the constant default in the catalog, so the table is not rewritten. - Every location in Rule 4 is updated: `migrations/0069_channel_unlisted.sql`, `schema/tables/public/channels.sql`, and the migration count. No seeds, types or reconcile changes are needed. `admin_schema_parity_between_desired_state_and_migrations` now compares `channels` columns between the pgschema desired state and the migrated database. I failed it once by removing the column from `channels.sql`. Only columns are compared for `channels`: on current `main`, pgschema already re-emits `idx_channels_id_live` without its `INCLUDE (community_id)`, an index drift that predates this PR and is noted in the test. - **Currently deployed relay against the new schema:** it never selects or writes `unlisted`, and every insert gets the default. All channel-record queries name their columns. Nobody can set the flag until this relay ships, because the old relay refuses a kind:9002 whose only tag is `unlisted`. - The migration starts with `SET LOCAL lock_timeout = '5s'`. No index is added: the new predicates ride the existing `(community_id, visibility)` index. ## Rollout 1. Deploy. Every channel stays listed, so nothing changes. 2. **Don't unlist any channel while an old relay is still running.** An old relay ignores the column and lists the channel to everyone. The NIP-11 extension lets clients gate on this. Unlisted isn't an access boundary, so a mixed fleet only exposes the channel in listings for a while. 3. **Rollback:** an older relay ignores the column, so unlisted channels show up as ordinary open channels again. Nothing breaks. ## Tests Postgres (`buzz-db`, discovered by the Postgres lane): - `unlisted_open_channel_is_named_only_for_non_members`: sets the flag through `update_channel`. Then checks that a non-member doesn't get it from `get_accessible_channel_ids` or `get_accessible_channels`, and does get it from `get_readable_named_only_channels`; that a member still lists it; that `put_member` (the kind:9021 path) lets the non-member join, after which they list it; and that listing it again shows it to a new reader. - `unlisted_private_channel_stays_private_and_opens_unlisted`: a private unlisted channel is not readable by name, and opening it keeps the flag. - `group_metadata_publishes_the_stored_unlisted_flag`, plus the unit test `publishes_the_unlisted_flag_as_stored`. - `unlisted_channel_artifacts_are_read_by_name_for_non_members`. - `channel_created_unlisted_is_never_listed`: creating through `create_channel_with_event` (the kind:9007 path) and `create_labeled_channel` stores the flag, and the channel is never listed to a non-member. - Mutation-checked: each of `NOT unlisted` in the implicit scope, `NOT c.unlisted` in the channel list, the unlisted branch of the named-only query, its `visibility = 'open'` guard, and the artifact condition was removed one at a time, and each removal failed at least one of these tests. Relay E2E (`test_nip29_unlisted_channel_wire`, added to the CI relay E2E step), against a local relay built from this branch: - A non-member or an unknown value is refused. - kind:39000 by `#d` carries `unlisted` and `public`, and not `hidden`. - kind:39000 discovery without `#d`: non-members don't see the channel, members do. - History and NIP-50 search: unnamed, a non-member doesn't see the channel's messages; with `#h`, they do; a member sees them unnamed. - A kind:9021 join works, and the joiner then lists the channel. - Listing it again shows it to everyone. - A reader whose channel set was cached before each change sees the change at once. I ran this against a relay with the cache invalidation removed, and it failed. Relay E2E (`test_nip29_solo_share_and_convert_wire`, added to the CI relay E2E step), each flow as a single event: - kind:9007 with an unknown `unlisted` value is refused. A chat created with `unlisted true` publishes the flag, and stays unlisted after a plain `visibility open`. - Share (open + unlisted + `join_role guest` in one kind:9002): a non-member doesn't list the chat. They read it by `#h`, both history and a live message, and can't post. A kind:9021 join lists it for them as a read-only guest. A kind:9022 leave unlists it again, and it stays readable by `#h`. - Unshare (`visibility private`): the viewer's live subscription gets CLOSED, and a new `#h` read is refused. - Convert (`["t", ""]` + `unlisted false`): the Solo label is cleared, and a non-member finds the chat in discovery. - I ran this against a relay that dropped the kind:9007 flag, and it failed. Also run: `cargo test` for buzz-db, buzz-sdk, buzz-cli, buzz-core, buzz-relay and buzz-test-client; the Postgres lane for buzz-db and buzz-relay (1045 tests); and the existing unlisted, announce, departure, guest, role-change and NIP-43 snapshot wire tests. In the lane, two tests failed on pool timeouts (`resend_validated_after_the_first_commit_is_a_duplicate`, `edit_replaces_and_clears_labels`) and passed when rerun alone. An earlier run had the same kind of flake: `routed_fallback_spends_one_acquire_budget_when_aurora_cache_is_cold` (a timing budget) and `resent_edit_is_a_duplicate` (a pool timeout). In a full local `e2e_relay` run, three tests outside CI's list also failed (`test_invite_*` twice, `test_unarchive_emits_member_added_notification`). They fail the same way on a relay built from `main`. ## Not in this PR - The buzz-app follow-up: support open Solo chats, the join-from-card view, the large-audience prompt, and gating on `buzz-unlisted-channels`. - A NIP-CL update.

Logan Johnson	d97f6b4c6e	feat(relay): add announce channels with a join_role setting (#8143) ... 🤖 ## Summary Channels are Buzz's main way to control access, but today they cannot separate reading from writing. In an open channel, anyone who can read can also write. So there is no way to say "many people read, a few people write". Announcements, release feeds, plugin release records and shared configuration all need that. This PR adds **announce channels**: anyone can follow and read them, but only members can post. It does this with one new channel setting and without changing what any role means. - **Roles mean the same thing in every channel.** A *guest* can read and leave, but cannot write. A *member* (or *bot*) can write. *Admins* and *owners* also manage the channel. The relay already had the guest role, but no client used it until now. - **A new setting, `join_role` (`member` | `guest`), picks the role a new person gets** when nobody chooses one: when they join by themselves, or when someone adds them without a role. The default, `member`, keeps today's behavior for every existing channel. - **An open channel with `join_role = guest` is an announce channel.** Anyone can find, read and join it. People who join are guests, so they cannot write until someone makes them a member. The relay enforces these rules, so a client cannot get around them. What each role can do (the same in every channel): | Action | Guest | Member or bot | Admin / owner | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Read, leave | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Post, reply, edit, delete own, react, artifacts, canvas, forum, pins, topic, typing, workflow messages, save or run workflows, huddles | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | | Add people | ❌ | ✅ as member, guest or bot | ✅ any role | | Make a guest a member (person or agent) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | | Any other role change | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | Change name, about, visibility, TTL, `join_role` | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | Other rules: - **Joining by yourself.** A person who joins (kind:9021), or adds themselves (kind:9000 with their own key), gets the channel's `join_role`. They may ask for `join_role` or a lower role, never a higher one. So in an announce channel nobody can join as a member by themselves. - **Non-members.** A non-member may write only where joining would let them write: an open channel with `join_role = member`. That is today's behavior for open channels. - **Agents.** Agents follow the same rules as people. Any member who can write may make a guest agent a member. Limits that only an agent's owner may lift belong to the later IFC work (its "restricted" agent level), not to this PR. That work only refuses more actions, so it can be added later without breaking anything here. - **Leaving always works.** A member may leave an archived channel too (kind:9022, or kind:9001 naming themselves). The last owner still cannot leave. - **Agent owners keep edit and delete.** Today the human owner of an agent can edit (kind:40003) and delete (kind:9005) that agent's messages without being a member. This PR keeps that existing behavior in announce channels too, and documents and tests it. It does not let the owner post. - **Changing the setting changes no roles.** Existing members can still write after a change to `guest`. Existing guests stay read-only after a change back to `member`. A refused write gets `restricted: only members can post in this channel`. ## Details - **One write rule.** The relay's channel write check decides from the actor's role and the channel's `join_role`. Some event types skip that check and run their own: message edit, deleting your own message (kind:9005), topic and purpose (kind:9002), add-member (kind:9000), workflow messages and joining a huddle. Each of these now uses the same rule. Membership changes (add, remove, leave) do not need write access, so a guest can always leave. If the relay finds a stored `join_role` value it does not know, it treats it as `guest`, so an unknown value can never give more access. - **Admission is decided in the database transaction.** The membership write (`put_member`) makes the whole admission decision inside its transaction, after it takes the channel's membership lock: `join_role` for a missing role tag, the self-join ceiling, guests cannot add people, who may grant admin or owner, and role changes (`MemberRole::may_change_role`). The relay's request check uses the same rules, but the database is the authority, so a write that skips the request check cannot get around them. A change to `visibility` or `join_role` takes the same lock, so an add and a setting change cannot interleave. - **No creator exception.** `put_member` used to give owner to a channel's creator who added themselves to a private channel without an active membership. A removed creator could use that: their join (kind:9021) passes the open-channel check, the channel becomes private before the join takes the membership lock, and the join restored them as owner. Channel creation already makes the creator owner in the same transaction, so the exception is removed. A removed creator is now admitted like anyone else. - **Huddles.** Joining a huddle needs write access in the huddle channel **and** in its parent channel. The relay checks both before the join. When it commits the join, it applies the same rule again while it holds both channels' membership locks: a member needs a role that can post, and a non-member needs an open channel whose `join_role` is `member`. A guest in either channel cannot join. A join is also refused when the joiner loses membership or the channel's `join_role` changes before the commit. - **One lock order.** Each writer that takes more than one of a channel's locks takes them in this order: membership lock, TTL lock, channel row. Settings changes, roster publication, TTL refresh and huddle joins all use this order. Before this change, a `join_role` change on an ephemeral channel at the same time as a roster publication could deadlock. - **Workflows.** Saving a workflow (kind:30620) skips the generic write check, so it now checks the sender's role itself and needs a writing role before anything is stored. Every path that starts a workflow run, including the manual trigger (kind:46020), needs the workflow's owner to hold a writing role now (and an elevated role for an elevated workflow). So a workflow saved while its owner was a member stops running after the owner is made a guest. - **Channel names are checked before storage.** kind:9002 and kind:9007 refuse a name longer than the `channels.name` column (255 characters) before the event is stored. Before this, the relay accepted the event, then the name update failed, and the rest of the update (for example `join_role`) was silently skipped. This PR only adds this check. Storing the event and applying the update in one transaction is a larger change, and it is not in this PR. - **Changing the setting.** Owners and admins send a channel-metadata update (kind:9002) with `["join_role", "guest"]` or `["join_role", "member"]`. Buzz applies these updates as partial updates; a missing tag means "no change". The relay posts a `join_role_changed` system message in the channel. - **What clients see.** The relay signs a channel description event (kind:39000) that clients read. One shared builder now writes it for both the relay and the `buzz-admin` backfill, which had a copy that had drifted from the relay's. It always publishes an explicit `["join_role", …]` tag, plus the standard NIP-29 group access flags: | `visibility` | `join_role` | `public` / `private` | `restricted` | `closed` | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | open | `member` | public | | | | open | `guest` | public | ✓ | | | private | either | private | ✓ | ✓ | This also fixes an old bug: `closed` ("join requests are ignored") was published for every channel, even open channels that accept joins. - **CLI and SDK.** `buzz channels update --join-role guest|member`. `buzz_sdk::build_update_channel` takes a new `join_role` argument and always writes it as an explicit tag. - **Docs.** `NOSTR.md` has an "Announce channels" section with the role table and the flag table. - **Tests.** Relay end-to-end tests, run in the CI relay E2E step: - `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire`: who can set `join_role`, the kind:39000 flags, joining as a guest, refused guest and non-member posts, reactions and adds, member posts, a member making a guest a member who then posts, changing the setting back without changing roles, and leaving. - `test_nip29_member_raises_guest_agent`: a member who is not the agent's owner can make a guest agent a member. - `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_workflow_send_needs_write_role`: a guest's workflow message is refused; a member's is accepted. - `test_nip29_departure_wire_archived_channel_allows_self_leave`: guests and members can leave an archived channel. - `test_private_channel_any_member_can_invite` now expects a private-channel guest to be refused when it adds someone (it used to expect success). - `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_workflow_commands_need_write_role`: saving and triggering a workflow, by a member and by a guest, in announce and normal channels; a guest cannot run a workflow saved while it was a member. - `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_overlong_name_is_refused_before_storage`: a kind:9002 with an overlong name and `join_role` is refused, and kind:39000 still shows the old settings. - `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_agent_owner_exception`: an agent's owner, as a guest and as a non-member, can edit and delete the agent's messages, while ordinary guests are still refused. - `test_nip29_guest_is_read_only_in_normal_channel`: a guest in an ordinary channel cannot write, and joining an ordinary channel still gives `member`. Unit tables cover the self-join rule for each `join_role`, and every actor, current role and requested role for the role-change rule. Database tests check the admission rules in `put_member` (`put_member_enforces_announce_admission`), that an add which waits on an uncommitted change to `guest` is decided on the new setting (`put_member_waits_for_a_concurrent_join_role_change`), and that a member can make a guest a member but not an admin. Unit tests cover the name limit and the workflow owner rule (`owner_authority_denies_roles_that_cannot_write`). A relay test covers huddle joins with different roles in the huddle and its parent, and a commit after a demotion, a `join_role` change or a lost membership (`huddle_join_needs_a_write_role_in_the_huddle_and_its_parent`). Lock-order tests: `join_role_change_waits_for_a_roster_publication_on_an_ephemeral_channel` reproduced a real deadlock (`40P01`) against the old order. `f2d_join_lock_order_serializes_membership_and_settings_writers` checks that membership and settings writers wait for a join and then succeed. `removed_creator_cannot_rejoin_a_private_channel` checks that `put_member` refuses a removed creator on a private channel, and `removed_creator_join_racing_a_private_switch_is_refused` holds the membership lock so a removed creator's kind:9021 passes the open-channel check, then makes the channel private before the join continues. Each new test was run against the old code and failed. ## Rollout 1. **Before the deploy, count guest rows** (`SELECT count(*) FROM channel_members WHERE role = 'guest' AND removed_at IS NULL`). We expect none. Any guest that exists loses the ability to post, change the topic and add people when this ships. If some exist, decide first whether to make them members. 2. Deploy. Every channel stays `join_role = member`, so nothing else changes. 3. **Do not set any channel to `join_role = guest` until no old relay is running.** Old relays ignore the column, so they would let guests and non-members write in that channel. 4. Rerun the `buzz-admin` channel reconcile so open channels drop the wrong `closed` flag. ## Migration and rollback - Migration `0067` adds `channels.join_role TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'member'` with a CHECK constraint. Postgres stores a constant default in table metadata, so existing rows are not rewritten and there is no backfill. The relay runs the migration at startup. - Existing channels keep the old `closed` flag until their next change, or until the reconcile in Rollout step 4. - **Before rolling back the relay**, set every announce channel back to `join_role = member`. An older relay ignores the column and does not stop guests from writing, so those channels would accept posts from their guests and give `member` to new joiners again. ## Not in this PR Client UI: a Follow button, hiding the composer for guests, and an admin toggle. Clients that ignore the new tag keep working. A guest who tries to post sees the `restricted` error. ## Stack 1. #8143 (this PR): announce channels 2. #8494: store the bot role only for keys with a recorded agent owner --------- Signed-off-by: Logan Johnson <loganj@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Larry <627498bd4bd1f281a16431e3c6cce3b5c25b6692798c78672298aefbf2f8f8b5@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>	2026-10-21 16:01:11 -04:00
Logan Johnson	2f79374f48	feat(relay): channel labels (#8175) ... 🤖 ## Summary A plugin or agent often needs to tag its own channels and then find them again, for example "my attention-config channel" or "all channels of this workspace". Today a channel has no labels: the relay ignores any `t` tags in create or edit requests. This PR adds channel labels. - A create request can carry up to 8 labels as `["t", "<label>"]` tags. - An edit request with `t` tags replaces the label set. `["t", ""]` alone clears it, the same convention as `["ttl", ""]`. Only owners and admins can change labels, as for the name. - The relay publishes each label as a `t` tag on the channel's state events, after the channel type tag. Part 2 of 3, stacked on part 1. ### Related issue None found. ### Details - **Rules.** A label uses 1–64 characters from `a-z`, `0-9`, `.`, `:` and `-`. The relay refuses a label equal to a channel type name (`stream`, `forum`, `dm`, `workflow`, `system`), so a label cannot make a channel look like another type. - **No trust from labels.** Any admin can set a label. Only the relay-written creator tag (part 1) says who made a channel. - **Storage.** New migration `0061_channel_labels.sql` adds `channels.labels TEXT[] NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'`. Channels without labels look and behave as before. - **Readers.** The CLI and `buzz-acp` read the channel type from the first `t` tag. Before this PR they used the last one, which would now be a label. - **Spec.** NIP-CL gets a "Channel labels" section with these rules. ### Testing - Relay tests: labels at creation appear after the type tag, edit replaces and clears them, invalid labels are refused, and members who are not admins cannot change them. - Unit tests for the label rules: allowed characters, length, reserved type names, the 8-label cap and the clear marker. - `buzz-acp` test: the channel type comes from the first `t` tag, not a label. ### Stack These are two stacks. Merge them in this order. Client support (creating, labeling and finding these channels) will be in block/buzz-app, not the buzz SDK and CLI. **Stack 1: channel labels and creator lookup (#8174–#8176)** 1. #8174 channel type and creator tags, and the channel creation time 2. #8175 channel labels ← this PR 3. #8176 database-side label and creator match, and the rule for choosing one channel **Stack 2: system channels (#8180–#8182)**, stacked on stack 1 because it uses labels and the creator tag 4. #8180 the system channel type 5. #8181 leave system channels out of reads that do not name them 6. #8182 channel-state filters opt in to system channels --------- Signed-off-by: Logan Johnson <loganj@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Larry <627498bd4bd1f281a16431e3c6cce3b5c25b6692798c78672298aefbf2f8f8b5@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>	2026-10-14 17:25:46 -04:00
