Logan Johnson f148c0f22c feat(relay): add profile search over name and display_name only (#8301)
🤖
> **Review as a pair with block/buzz-app#1084** (the app change that
uses this endpoint). Either can merge first: the app falls back to the
old search on relays without this endpoint.

## Summary
Searching for a person by name over the relay's general search returns
profiles that only *mention* the text somewhere else: in an avatar image
embedded as text, in the bio, or in the verification address. A search
for "wes" could fill every result page with profiles whose avatar data
happens to contain "Wes", and never return the person actually named
Wes.

This adds a relay endpoint, `POST /profiles/search`, that looks only at
a profile's **name** and **display name**. Every other profile field is
ignored.

**Matching and paging are the same as the relay's existing full-text
profile search** (NIP-50 search over kind:0 profiles with `search_mode:
"prefix"`). A client can switch to this endpoint without a visible
change in which people a query finds:
- Each query word must match a whole word of the name; the last word can
be a prefix. Words can be in any order, so "johnson wes" finds "Wes
Johnson". Case is ignored.
- Pages work the same way: up to 100 results per page, up to page 1000.
- The results are exactly the old results minus profiles that match only
outside their names.

The order is better for people search: exact name first, then names that
start with the query, then names with a later word that starts with it,
then other matches. Ties are ordered by `ts_rank_cd` over the two name
fields only (not the whole profile, as in NIP-50), then newest first,
then event id.

The response is a JSON array of the original signed profile events
(Nostr kind:0), so clients can verify them as they do today. The
buzz-app client change is block/buzz-app#1084.

## Details
- Request: `{"query": "wes", "limit": 20, "page": 1}`. `query` is 1–100
characters after trimming; `limit` is 1–100 (default 20); `page` is
1–1000 (default 1); unknown fields are rejected with 400.
- The search reuses the full-text search's own query builder
(`buzz-search`), so the word rule cannot drift from it. The existing
full-text index on events stays the access path; the name check runs
only on rows the index already matched. There is no new index. One small
migration (`0061`) adds the function `profile_name_fields()`; it reads
no table data, so it runs instantly.
- Only current profiles count: a replaced profile stops matching.
Profiles that are not a JSON object, or whose name fields are not
strings, never match. Content that PostgreSQL cannot read as `jsonb`
(for example a `\^@` escape or very deep nesting) also never matches,
and it cannot make the search fail for everyone else.
- The handler loads the matched events through the normal routed event
read and applies the same reader visibility check as other reads, in
search order.
- Access uses the same checks as the relay's GIF search endpoint: a
signed HTTP request (NIP-98), identity admission (NIP-FI), rate limit,
replay protection, and relay membership. That code moved out of
`gifs.rs` into one shared helper in `bridge.rs`; GIF behavior is
unchanged.
- The route is added to the existing protected-route and NIP-FI
shadow/enforce route tables. Docs: `docs/profile-search.md`.
- Two test-only lines get `sadscan:disable` comments, as other fixtures
already do: an existing public ES256 test key in `router.rs`, and the
local Postgres test URL in the search integration test.

### Related issue
None found.

### Testing
- Postgres test for the search query
(`profile_names_match_name_words_only`): only name fields match (avatar
data URL, `about`, `nip05`, `banner`, non-string names and non-object
content are excluded); words in any order and across both name fields;
whole words only for completed words; ranking order; pages split without
overlap or gaps; replaced profile; other community; `%` literal.
- Postgres end-to-end test through the router: an admitted member gets
only the name-matching signed event, and the returned event still
verifies.
- Request validation unit tests; existing GIF admission tests and router
route-table tests pass.
- Local end-to-end run with buzz-app#1084 against a relay built from
this head, with about 195 seeded profiles. For every query tried, the
endpoint's results were a subset of the full-text search's results; the
only profiles missing were avatar-only matches.

//! Buzz search — community-scoped Postgres full-text search over Buzz events.
//!
//! The index lives in the `events` table: `search_tsv TSVECTOR GENERATED
//! ALWAYS AS (to_tsvector('simple', content)) STORED`, with `GIN
//! (search_tsv)` as the access path. Because the column is `GENERATED ALWAYS`,
//! every row write *is* the index update — there is no separate indexer, no
//! mpsc queue, no reindex job, no consistency window to reason about. A
//! client cannot forge the tsvector out of sync with the content it signed.
//!
//! This crate is the **query** side. Indexing is the SQL row insert — owned
//! by `buzz-db`. The relay refetches canonical events through `buzz-db`'s
//! scoped fetcher and runs access checks per hit; search is never the access
//! boundary (conformance row 50).
//!
//! ## Multi-tenant fence
//!
//! Every [`SearchQuery`] carries a [`CommunityId`]. There is no construction
//! path through this crate that omits it, and every SQL execution binds
//! `community_id = $ctx` as the first predicate. A query bound to community
//! A cannot return events stored under community B, by construction.
