Blake McAnally 171100f308 feat(cli): read-only unread state (NIP-RS) (#8789)
## Summary

This change adds `buzz channels unread`. The command is read-only. It
shows how many unread messages each channel has. It uses the read state
that desktop and mobile already sync (NIP-RS). It never publishes an
event. It never marks anything read.

Output: `[{channel_id, name, last_read_at, unread_count, capped}]`. The
most unread channel is first.

## Design

The command has two parts.

**Part 1: read state** (`commands/read_state.rs`)

- The command queries your own `kind:30078` events with the `read-state`
tag.
- It verifies each signature. It rejects events from other authors.
- It keeps the newest version of each `d` tag.
- It decrypts each slot with NIP-44 to yourself. It applies desktop's
validation rules.
- It merges all slots with `max`.
- It ignores `ov_*` keys. Desktop and mobile do not read them either.

**Part 2: counting** (`commands/channel_unread.rs`)

The rules follow desktop's `communityUnreadObserver.ts`.

- Without `--channel`, the command uses your non-archived channel
memberships.
- It reads message kinds 9, 40002, 45001, and 45003. For a DM it also
reads huddle starts (48100).
- It reads only events after the channel marker (`since = marker + 1`).
- Your own messages do not count.
- A message is read when its time is at or below the greatest of three
markers: the channel marker, its `msg:<id>` marker, and its
`thread:<root>` marker. A broadcast reply ignores the thread marker.

**Bounds and signals**

- At most 200 channels per run. `--limit` sets the number. The maximum
is 200.
- At most 1000 events per channel. A channel at that cap shows
`"capped": true`. Its count is a lower bound.
- If you have more channels than `--limit`, the extra channels are not
counted. Stderr shows
`{"warning":"channels_truncated","counted":N,"dropped":M}`.
- More than `--limit` `--channel` values is an error. The command never
drops a named channel.
- An unknown named channel exits with code 1.

**Failure rules**

- A slot that cannot be verified, decrypted, or decoded fails the
command with exit 4. Desktop skips such a slot. A skip would make the
count too high, with no sign of it.
- A slot with a newer `v` is skipped. Stderr shows
`read_state_slots_skipped`.

**Deviations from desktop**

- The command has no 7-day fetch horizon. It reads all slots. This can
only add markers.
- It does not apply desktop's notification gate. That gate uses
desktop-local data (followed threads, muted channels). So a count can be
higher than the desktop badge.
- It does not read mobile's `activity:` markers. Desktop does not read
them.

The README describes the output and the gotchas. The stable-inventory
test lists the new subcommand. This PR does not change `desktop/`
(deprecated; see #8840).

## Testing

**What ran**

- `cargo test -p buzz-cli`: 510 passed.
- `cargo clippy -p buzz-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings`: clean.
- `cargo fmt --all --check`: clean.
- `just file-size-check`: passed.

**Unit tests**

The tests run the production functions against a fake axum relay. The
fake relay applies the real filters (`#h`, `#d`, `#p`, `#t`, `since`,
`limit`).

- Merge: max across slots, newest version wins, bad values dropped,
`ov_*` ignored.
- Failures: bad JSON, wrong shape, bad `client_id`, wrong author, bad
signature, and undecryptable content all fail.
- Counting: own messages, `msg:` markers, `thread:` markers, broadcast
replies, archived channels, DM kinds, and sort order.
- Bounds: channel limit, event cap, `capped`, and explicit-channel
limits.
- Query shape: each channel query has `#h`, a bounded `limit`, and
`since = marker + 1`.
- A bad slot stops the command before any channel query.

**Interop evidence**

A node script runs the real `buzz` binary against a fake relay. Events
are made and encrypted by `nostr-tools`. This is an independent NIP-44
code base. The script compares the CLI with desktop's own TypeScript:

- `mergeReadStateEvents` gives the same frontier as `last_read_at` for
six channels.
- `fetchCommunityUnread` gives the same read/unread result as
`unread_count > 0` for each channel.

The six channels cover: read, unread, never read, own message only, two
slots with max-merge, and a `msg:` marker. The script prints `INTEROP
OK`. The script is not part of the repository.

**Mutation checks**

I broke each guard once and ran the tests. Each break made a test fail:

- Own-message exclusion.
- `msg:` marker, `thread:` marker, and broadcast rule.
- `since = marker + 1`.
- `capped` signal and channel limit.
- Explicit channels over the limit.
- Archived skip and DM kinds.
- Max-merge, newest version wins, and the `t` tag requirement.
- Signature check, author check, unknown `v`, and the 256-byte key
limit.

A mutation of the decrypt error path did not fail a test. The JSON step
fails the same way, so the break changes nothing. I removed that check
from the list.

## Manual test steps

You need a relay and an identity that has used desktop or mobile on that
relay.

1. Build the CLI:

   ```bash
   . ./bin/activate-hermit && cargo build -p buzz-cli
   ```

2. Set the identity and the relay:

   ```bash
   export BUZZ_RELAY_URL=<relay-url>
   export BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY=<your-key>
   ```

3. Run the command:

   ```bash
   ./target/debug/buzz channels unread | jq .
   ```

Success: you see one object per channel. Each object has `channel_id`,
`name`, `last_read_at`, `unread_count`, and `capped`.

4. Compare with the app. Open desktop or mobile on the same identity. A
channel with a badge must show `unread_count` above 0. A channel with no
badge must show 0. Counts can be higher than the badge for muted
channels and followed threads. This is expected.

5. Read a channel in the app. Wait a few seconds. Run the command again.
Success: the count for that channel is 0 and `last_read_at` is higher.

6. Test the channel limit:

   ```bash
   ./target/debug/buzz channels unread --limit 1 | jq length
   ```

Success: the command prints `1`. If you have more than one channel,
stderr shows `channels_truncated`.

7. Test an unknown channel:

   ```bash
./target/debug/buzz channels unread --channel
00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000; echo $?
   ```

Success: the command prints a not-found error and the exit code is `1`.

8. Check that nothing was written. The command sends no events. The app
badges stay the same after the run.

`protect set` replaces every existing rule for the exact ref pattern. Any
constraint omitted from the command is removed. `protect list` reports malformed
stored rules in `validation_error` so an owner can remove and repair them.
## Commands
`buzz --help` prints this whole surface as an indented tree — every group with
its subcommands and their descriptions — so there is no need to run `--help`
once per group to find a command. `buzz -h` keeps the short group-level
summary, and `buzz <group> <subcommand> --help` has the flags and examples.

## Huddles
`huddles list` and `huddles participants` rebuild huddle state from the relay-signed lifecycle
events (kinds 48100–48103) with the same rules as the desktop app. They never join, start, or end
a huddle. Each scans at most 5000 newest events of the channel. If older events may be missing,
`complete` is `false` and `truncated` is `true`. A huddle with no end event is `active`, then
`stale` once its start is over an hour old; desktop shows `stale` as ended. The relay's liveness
snapshots are not served over HTTP, so `liveness_checked` is always `false`.
Rosters come from the relay's join and leave events only. Desktop's roster view also lists the
creator from the start event; the CLI lists the creator once the relay records their join.
## Architecture
```
buzz <group> <subcommand> [flags]
│
├─ main.rs ──▶ commands/*.rs ──▶ client.rs ──▶ Buzz Relay REST API
│ (clap) (handlers) (reqwest)
│
├─ validate.rs (UUID, hex, content size, percent-encode)
└─ error.rs (CliError → JSON stderr + exit code)
stdout: raw relay JSON
stderr: {"error": "category", "message": "detail"}
exit: 0=ok 1=user 2=network 3=auth 4=other 5=write conflict
```
### Default branch
After deploying relay support, select an existing published branch without
renaming or deleting any branch:
```bash
buzz repos default-branch get --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo
buzz repos default-branch set --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo --branch main
# For an explicitly reviewed version, use the manifest digest returned by get:
buzz repos default-branch set --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo --branch main \
--expected-manifest <manifest-digest>
```
`--owner` defaults to the signing identity, not an agent's attested human owner.
`set` without `--expected-manifest` reads the current version first. Success
returns `branch`, `head`, `manifest` and `changed`; `get` omits `changed`.
A stale version returns conflict (exit 5). Ambiguous write failures return
`delivery_unknown` with `retryable:false` and the original digest: **read before
retrying**, and do not blindly re-run against a newly fetched version.
The signer must be a current channel member and a repository manager, directly
or through an unrestricted, valid NIP-OA owner attestation; permission to push is
not permission to change the default. See the
[protocol and authorization contract](../../docs/git-on-object-storage.md#default-branch-management).
