Will Pfleger e982f70fba docs: restore enterprise identity adapter contract with relay assertion (#8064)
🤖 Restores `docs/enterprise-identity-adapter.md`, the vendor-neutral
HTTP contract between Buzz Desktop and an enterprise identity adapter,
and adds the request that turns an adapter session into a NIP-FI relay
assertion.

The login, code exchange, session check, transport, and privacy sections
are byte-for-byte the text from the head of #7715 (`4ef08e23`). Buzz
Desktop's enterprise login client
([buzz-app#525](https://github.com/block/buzz-app/pull/525)) already
calls those routes.

The new **Relay assertion** section defines `POST
/v1/identity/assertions`:

- **Request:** a JSON body with `relay_url` and `nostr_pubkey`. The
adapter session goes in `Authorization: Bearer`, and a NIP-98 proof
signed by that key, bound to the endpoint URL, method, and exact body
hash, goes in `Nostr-Authorization`. Clients and adapters must not log
either header's value.
- **Response:** `assertion`, `nostr_pubkey`, and `expires_at`. Under
this contract an assertion lives at most 5 minutes and never outlives
the adapter session; that cap is the adapter contract's rule, not a
relay constant. The assertion's `typ` and `aud` rules point to NIP-FI.
The assertion key must be the key that signs the NIP-42 relay login.
- **Denials:** a table of status, error code, meaning, and the client
action for each. A missing session is 401 `session_required`; missing or
repeated proof headers, a repeated `Authorization` header, multiple
session credential kinds, malformed bodies, and unknown fields are 400
`invalid_request`. 401s clear the session and return to login; 403
`authorization_denied` keeps the session and disconnects from that relay
without automatic retry; other 403s, 400, and 413 keep the session and
show the error without retry; 429, 503, and network failures retry with
bounded backoff. Adapters may return `session_required` for any invalid,
expired, or revoked credential, and clients handle both 401 codes
identically.

Agent keys are out of scope and need a separate design.
