Tom Brow c432a111ca feat(mobile): push notifications MVP (#6269)
This PR implements MVP, iOS-only,
[NIP-PL](8d2d0ff5ad/docs/nips/NIP-PL.md)-compliant
push notifications.

A relay with `BUZZ_PUSH_ENABLED` will send a push notification for any
message that appears in the in-app Notifications tab.

## Enrollment flow
The first time the client first connects to a relay with
`BUZZ_PUSH_ENABLED`:

```

## Push-time flow

When a notification-eligible event is received by the relay:

  }
}}%%

    Gateway->>APNs: POST /3/device/{device-token}<br/>topic, request ID, expiry, constant mutable-content payload
    APNs-->>Gateway: 200 OK: request accepted
    Gateway-->>Relay: 200 OK: accepted status

    APNs-->>iOS: Notification: constant reconnect alert<br/>mutable-content = 1
    iOS->>NSE: Invoke extension<br/>original notification content

    NSE->>Relay: POST /query: subscription filters, limit 10<br/>NIP-98 authorization
    Relay-->>NSE: 200 OK: signed Nostr events<br/>kinds 9, 40002, 45001, or 45003

    NSE->>iOS: Complete notification: title, body, subtitle<br/>thread ID, exact-message target
```

relay → push gateway → APNs -> NSE -> Notification Center

## Known limitations

The APNs wake payload is intentionally constant and opaque: it contains
no originating community or message identifier, in keeping with the
implemented NIP-PL privacy design.

The Notification Service Extension must therefore reconnect to the relay
and resolve eligible messages after each wake. Around overlapping wakes,
timing boundaries, or resolution windows, notification presentation may
occasionally omit an expected message or display a message more than
once.

This best-effort behavior is deliberately accepted for the current
implementation and will be measured during the internal rollout to
determine whether the user experience is acceptable before any broader
deployment; the implementation does not claim exactly-once presentation.

## Validation

Live end-to-end hardware validation used an internal remotely hosted
development relay and push gateway, the APNs sandbox, and a physical
iPhone 12 mini:

- A second real Buzz client published a uniquely marked message through
the hosted relay.
- The relay matched the message and sent the constant opaque wake
through the hosted gateway. The gateway made an actual APNs request; no
`simctl push` or simulated notification was used.
- The iPhone received the notification on its lock screen. The
Notification Service Extension reconnected to the relay, fetched the
event, verified its ID and signature, and replaced the placeholder
content with the real notification title and body.
- After the app populated its shared presentation cache, a final marked
notification visibly showed the sender display name, sender avatar, and
hashtag-prefixed channel name.
- Tapping a lock-screen notification opened Buzz and exercised the
notification-response path and navigated to the corresponding message.

Final validation with a dogfood-signed artifact and production App
Attest/APNs configuration remains a release step.

## Independent pre-reviews

- **First pass:**

found missing transient retries, executor-key rotation suppression,
duplicate installation renewal, and an unauthenticated challenge write
amplifier. These were resolved by [retry-safe
bootstrap](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6269/changes/12c66ea62)
and [authenticated renewal plus a cross-replica
quota](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6269/changes/8e5ece0bd).

found delegation generation burning and an edited applied migration,
resolved by [exact-generation
