Will Pfleger d4420eb47f docs(nip-fi): rewrite NIP-FI as stateless OSS Buzz spec v2 (#7214)
Rewrites `docs/nips/NIP-FI.md` as a stateless spec and deletes the five
companion profiles (NIP-FI-CONF, NIP-FI-DELEG, NIP-FI-EDGE,
NIP-FI-LIFECYCLE, NIP-FI-MODEL) that presuppose relay-side state.

## What changes

### `docs/nips/NIP-FI.md` — full rewrite

The relay-side authority engine (bindings, receipts, lifecycle,
invalidation, leases, delegation, enrollment modes, TOFU) is removed.
The spec settles exactly five things:

1. **Assertion contract**: JWT claims (`iss`, `sub`, `nostr_pubkey`,
`aud` (required), `iat`/`exp`, finite TTL bounds), npub binding
semantics, required NIP-42 proof-of-key pairing. Evidence rules
(assertion-key-mismatch → `authorization_denied`, freshness) preserved
from v1.

2. **Verification**: offline against configured per-issuer JWKS
snapshots; multi-issuer; fail-closed on missing/expired/unverifiable.
Cites `crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/` (PR 3 / `70895b355`) as
implementing the assertion-verification procedure. The
`require_attested_key` flag in `IssuerPolicy` is the enforcement
primitive for the unconditional `nostr_pubkey` requirement; conformance
requires forcing it true for every issuer — follow-on code outside this
PR.

3. **Session policy**: required finite `max_connection_lifetime_seconds`
knob with no permissive default; re-auth on every reconnect; no in-band
renewal.

4. **Admin disconnect API**: session-only normative text with a
dedicated `VerifyCommandJwt` procedure — distinct `typ:
nip-fi-command+jwt`, signed `method`/`path` binding, normative
`maximum_command_age` bound (0 < value ≤ 60 s), atomic `(iss, jti)`
reservation as the final admission step after all pure checks.
Non-normative note documents cumulative residual access: `max(0,
min(exp, iat + maximum_assertion_age) - now)` assuming issuance stops;
states that previously issued assertions remain valid for reconnection
until their authority expires; states that continued issuance extends
access with no protocol-level bound. Non-normative note documents the
session-only vs deny-until-TTL trade-off. This verifier and endpoint are
follow-on code.

5. **Deletions**: bindings, enrollment, lifecycle, receipts, leases,
invalidation, delegation gone. "Out of scope" section names every issuer
and deployment concern explicitly.

### Companion profiles deleted

NIP-FI-CONF, NIP-FI-DELEG, NIP-FI-EDGE, NIP-FI-LIFECYCLE, NIP-FI-MODEL —
all presuppose relay-side binding/lifecycle state.

## What does NOT change

The entire `crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/` Rust crate (PR 3 /
`70895b355`) implements the assertion-verification procedure described
in this spec. No Rust code changes in this PR. The
`require_attested_key` enforcement integration and the
`VerifyCommandJwt` / disconnect endpoint implementation are explicit
follow-on code work.

## Follow-on work (separate PRs after spec merges)

- `require_attested_key` forced-true startup enforcement
- `VerifyCommandJwt` implementation and disconnect endpoint
- Down-migration dropping migrations 0041/0042 (0042 before 0041 per FK
order)
- `schema.sql` NIP-FI sections removed
- `buzz-db` migration test blocks cleaned up
