docs: update README + api docs + architecture for v2.0.0 feed

README
  - Mention social feed in the one-line description and feature bullets
  - Add relay + feed endpoint tables to the API overview (was
    previously empty on messaging)
  - List media/ package in the repo structure

docs/api/
  - New docs/api/feed.md: full reference for /feed/publish, fetch,
    stats, view, author, timeline, trending, foryou, hashtag; all
    on-chain CREATE_POST / DELETE_POST / FOLLOW / LIKE payloads;
    fee economics; server-side scrubbing contract.
  - docs/api/relay.md rewritten: /relay/broadcast is now the primary
    E2E path with a complete envelope schema; /relay/send kept but
    flagged ⚠ NOT E2E; DELETE /relay/inbox/{id} documented with the
    new Ed25519 signed-auth body.
  - docs/api/README.md index: added feed.md row.

docs/architecture.md
  - L2 Transport layer description updated to include the feed
    mailbox alongside the 1:1 relay mailbox.
  - New "Социальная лента (v2.0.0)" section right after the 1:1
    message flow: ASCII diagram of publish + on-chain commit +
    timeline fetch, economic summary, metadata-scrub summary.

docs/node/README.md
  - Removed stale chan:/chan-member: keys from the BadgerDB schema
    reference; replaced with the v2.0.0 feed keys (post:,
    postbyauthor:, follow:, followin:, like:, likecount:).

docs/update-system.md
  - Example features[] array updated to match the actual node output
    (channels_v1 removed, feed_v2 / media_scrub / relay_broadcast added).

Node feature flags
  - api_well_known_version.go: dropped channels_v1 tag (the
    /api/channels/:id endpoint was removed in the feed refactor);
    added feed_v2, media_scrub, relay_broadcast so clients can
    feature-detect the v2.0.0 surface.
  - Comment example updated channels_v2/v1 → feed_v3/v2.

Client
  - CLIENT_REQUIRED_FEATURES expanded to include the v2.0.0 feature
    flags the client now depends on (feed_v2, media_scrub,
    relay_broadcast); checkNodeVersion() will flag older nodes as
    unsupported and surface an upgrade prompt.

All 7 Go test packages green; tsc --noEmit clean.

+# DChain Messenger — React Native Client
+
+E2E-encrypted mobile/desktop messenger built on the DChain blockchain stack.
+
+**Stack:** React Native · Expo · NativeWind (Tailwind) · TweetNaCl · Zustand
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd client-app
+npm install
+npx expo start          # opens Expo Dev Tools
+# Press 'i' for iOS simulator, 'a' for Android, 'w' for web
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- [Expo Go](https://expo.dev/client) on your phone (for Expo tunnel), or iOS/Android emulator
+- A running DChain node (see root README for `docker compose up --build -d`)
+

+
+## Cryptography
+
+| Operation | Algorithm | Library |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Transaction signing | Ed25519 | TweetNaCl `sign` |
+| Key exchange | X25519 (Curve25519) | TweetNaCl `box` |
+| Message encryption | NaCl box (XSalsa20-Poly1305) | TweetNaCl `box` |
+| Key storage | Device secure enclave | expo-secure-store |
+
+Messages are encrypted as:
+```
+Envelope {
+  sender_pub:    <X25519 hex>   // sender's public key
+  recipient_pub: <X25519 hex>   // recipient's public key
+  nonce:         <24-byte hex>  // random per message
+  ciphertext:    <hex>          // NaCl box(plaintext, nonce, sender_priv, recipient_pub)
+}
+```
+
+## Connect to your node
+
+1. Start the DChain node: `docker compose up --build -d`
+2. Open the app → Settings → Node URL → `http://YOUR_IP:8081`
+3. If using Expo Go on physical device: your PC and phone must be on the same network, or use `npx expo start --tunnel`
+
+## Key File Format
+
+The `key.json` exported/imported by the app:
+```json
+{
+  "pub_key":     "26018d40...",   // Ed25519 public key (64 hex chars)
+  "priv_key":    "...",           // Ed25519 private key (128 hex chars)
+  "x25519_pub":  "...",           // X25519 public key (64 hex chars)
+  "x25519_priv": "..."            // X25519 private key (64 hex chars)
+}
+```
+
+This is the same format as the Go node's `--key` flag.

+/**
+ * MessageBubble — рендер одного сообщения с gesture interactions.
+ *
+ * Гестуры — разведены по двум примитивам во избежание конфликта со
+ * скроллом FlatList'а:
+ *
+ *   1. Swipe-left (reply): PanResponder на Animated.View обёртке
+ *      bubble'а. `onMoveShouldSetPanResponder` клеймит responder ТОЛЬКО
+ *      когда пользователь сдвинул палец > 6px влево и горизонталь
+ *      преобладает над вертикалью. Для вертикального скролла
+ *      `onMoveShouldSet` возвращает false — FlatList получает gesture.
+ *      Touchdown ничего не клеймит (onStartShouldSetPanResponder
+ *      отсутствует).
+ *
+ *   2. Long-press / tap: через View.onTouchStart/End. Primitive touch
+ *      events bubble'ятся независимо от responder'а. Long-press запускаем
+ *      timer'ом на 550ms, cancel при `onTouchMove` с достаточной
+ *      амплитудой. Tap — короткое касание без move в selection mode.
+ *
+ *   3. `selectionMode=true` — PanResponder disabled (в selection режиме
+ *      свайпы не работают).
+ *
+ *   4. ReplyQuote — отдельный Pressable над bubble-текстом; tap прыгает
+ *      к оригиналу через onJumpToReply.
+ *
+ *   5. highlight prop — bubble-row мерцает accent-blue фоном, использует
+ *      Animated.Value; управляется из ChatScreen после scrollToIndex.

+/**
+ * PostCard — Twitter-style feed row.
+ *
+ * Layout (top-to-bottom, left-to-right):
+ *
+ *   [avatar 44]    [@author · time · ⋯ menu]
+ *                  [post text body with #tags + @mentions highlighted]
+ *                  [optional attachment preview]
+ *                  [💬 0   🔁 link   ❤️ likes   👁 views]
+ *
+ * Interaction model:
+ *   - Tap anywhere except controls → navigate to post detail
+ *   - Tap author/avatar → profile
+ *   - Double-tap the post body → like (with a short heart-bounce animation)
+ *   - Long-press → context menu (copy, share link, delete-if-mine)
+ *
+ * Performance notes:
+ *   - Memoised. Feed lists re-render often (after every like, view bump,
+ *     new post), but each card only needs to update when ITS own stats
+ *     change. We use shallow prop comparison + stable key on post_id.
+ *   - Stats are passed in by parent (fetched once per refresh), not
+ *     fetched here — avoids N /stats requests per timeline render.

+/**
+ * ShareSheet — bottom-sheet picker that forwards a feed post into one

+ * PostCard.
+ *
+ * Design notes
+ * ------------
+ * - Single modal component, managed by the parent via `visible` +
+ *   `onClose`. Parent passes the `post` it wants to share.
+ * - Multi-select: the user can tick several contacts at once and hit
+ *   "Отправить". Fits the common "share with a couple of friends"
+ *   flow better than one-at-a-time.
+ * - Only contacts with an x25519 key show up — those are the ones we
+ *   can actually encrypt for. An info note explains absent contacts.
+ * - Search: typing filters the list by username / alias / address
+ *   prefix. Useful once the user has more than a screenful of
+ *   contacts.

+ * Features:
+ *   - Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff (1s → 30s cap).
+ *   - Re-subscribes all topics after a reconnect.
+ *   - `hello` frame exposes chain_id + tip_height for connection state UI.

+
+Разделение решает два противоречия: on-chain-состояние обеспечивает
+provable авторство + экономические стимулы (оплата за байт); off-chain
+тела позволяют хранить мегабайты картинок без раздувания истории
+блоков. Hosting relay получает плату автора (через CREATE_POST tx);
+другие ноды могут реплицировать через gossipsub (роадмап).
+
+## Оплата постов
+
+Автор поста платит `BasePostFee + Size × PostByteFee` µT за публикацию.
+Полный fee кредитуется на баланс hosting-релея.
+
+| Константа | Значение | Примечание |
+|-----------|----------|-----------|
+| `BasePostFee` | 1 000 µT (0.001 T) | Совпадает с MinFee (block-validation floor) |
+| `PostByteFee` | 1 µT/byte | Размер = контент + attachment + ~128 B метаданных |
+| `MaxPostSize` | 256 KiB | Hard cap, больше — 413 на `/feed/publish` |
+
+Пример:
+- 200-байтовый текстовый пост → ~1 328 µT (~0.0013 T)
+- Текст + 30 KiB WebP-картинка → ~31 848 µT (~0.032 T)
+- Видео 200 KiB → ~205 128 µT (~0.21 T)
+
+## Server-side metadata scrubbing
+
+**Обязательная** для всех аттачментов на `/feed/publish`:
+
+- **Изображения** (JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP): decode → downscale до 1080 px
+  → re-encode как JPEG Q=75 через stdlib. EXIF/GPS/ICC/XMP/MakerNote
+  стираются by construction (stdlib JPEG encoder не пишет их).
+- **Видео/аудио**: переадресуется во внешний **FFmpeg-сайдкар**
+  (контейнер `docker/media-sidecar/`). Если сайдкар не настроен через
+  `DCHAIN_MEDIA_SIDECAR_URL` и оператор не выставил
+  `DCHAIN_ALLOW_UNSCRUBBED_VIDEO`, видео-аплоад отклоняется с 503.
+- **MIME mismatch**: если magic-байты не соответствуют заявленному
+  `Content-Type` — 400. Защита от PDF'а, замаскированного под картинку.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+### `POST /feed/publish`
+
+Загружает тело поста, запускает скраббинг, сохраняет в feed-mailbox,
+возвращает метаданные для последующей on-chain CREATE_POST tx.
+
+**Request:**
+```json
+{
+  "post_id":         "<hex 16 B>",
+  "author":          "<ed25519_hex>",
+  "content":         "Text of the post",
+  "content_type":    "text/plain",
+  "attachment_b64":  "<base64 image/video/audio>",
+  "attachment_mime": "image/jpeg",
+  "reply_to":        "<optional parent post_id>",
+  "quote_of":        "<optional quoted post_id>",
+  "sig":             "<base64 Ed25519 sig>",
+  "ts":              1710000000
+}
+```
+
+`sig = Ed25519.Sign(author_priv, "publish:<post_id>:<raw_content_hash_hex>:<ts>")`
+
+где `raw_content_hash = sha256(content + raw_attachment_bytes)` —
+клиентский хэш **до** серверного скраба.
+
+`ts` в пределах ±5 минут от серверного времени (anti-replay).
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "post_id":          "<echo>",
+  "hosting_relay":    "<ed25519_hex of this node>",
+  "content_hash":     "<hex sha256 of post-scrub bytes>",
+  "size":             1234,
+  "hashtags":         ["golang", "dchain"],
+  "estimated_fee_ut": 2234
+}
+```
+
+Клиент затем собирает CREATE_POST tx с этими полями и сабмитит на
+`/api/tx`. См. `buildCreatePostTx` в клиентской библиотеке.
+
+### `GET /feed/post/{id}`
+
+Тело поста со статами.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "post_id":        "...",
+  "author":         "...",
+  "content":        "...",
+  "content_type":   "text/plain",
+  "hashtags":       ["golang"],
+  "created_at":     1710000000,
+  "reply_to":       "",
+  "quote_of":       "",
+  "attachment":     "<base64 bytes>",
+  "attachment_mime": "image/jpeg"
+}
+```
+
+**Errors:** 404 если не найден; 410 если on-chain soft-deleted.
+
+### `GET /feed/post/{id}/attachment`
+
+Сырые байты аттачмента с корректным `Content-Type`. Используется
+нативным image-loader'ом клиента:
+
+```html
+<img src="http://node/feed/post/abc/attachment" />
+```
+
+`Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600, immutable` — content-addressed
+ресурс, кэш безопасен.
+
+### `POST /feed/post/{id}/view`
+
+Инкремент off-chain счётчика просмотров. Fire-and-forget, не требует
+подписи (per-view tx был бы нереалистичен).
+
+**Response:** `{"post_id": "...", "views": 42}`
+
+### `GET /feed/post/{id}/stats?me=<pub>`
+
+Агрегат для отображения. `me` опционален — если передан, в ответе
+будет `liked_by_me`.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "post_id":      "...",
+  "views":        127,
+  "likes":        42,
+  "liked_by_me":  true
+}
+```
+
+### `GET /feed/author/{pub}?limit=N&before=<ts>`
+
+Посты конкретного автора, newest-first.
+
+Пагинация: передавайте `before=<created_at>` самого старого уже
+загруженного поста, чтобы получить следующую страницу.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{"author": "<pub>", "count": 20, "posts": [FeedPostItem]}
+```
+
+### `GET /feed/timeline?follower=<pub>&limit=N&before=<ts>`
+
+Лента подписок: merged посты всех, на кого подписан follower, newest-
+first. Требует, чтобы on-chain FOLLOW-транзакции уже скоммитились.
+
+Пагинация через `before` идентично `/feed/author`.
+
+### `GET /feed/trending?window=24&limit=N`
+
+Топ постов за последние N часов, ранжированы по `likes × 3 + views`.
+
+`window` — часы (1..168), по умолчанию 24.
+
+Пагинация **не поддерживается** — это топ-срез, не список.
+
+### `GET /feed/foryou?pub=<pub>&limit=N`
+
+Рекомендации. Простая эвристика v2.0.0:
+
+1. Кандидаты: посты последних 48 часов
+2. Исключить: авторы, на которых уже подписан; уже лайкнутые; свои
+3. Ранжировать: `likes × 3 + views + 1` (seed чтобы свежее вылезало)
+
+Никаких ML — база для `v2.2.0 Feed algorithm` (half-life decay,
+mutual-follow boost, hashtag-affinity).
+
+### `GET /feed/hashtag/{tag}?limit=N`
+
+Посты, помеченные хэштегом `#tag`. Tag case-insensitive.
+Хэштеги авто-индексируются на `/feed/publish` из текста (regex
+`#[A-Za-z0-9_\p{L}]{1,40}`, dedup, cap 8 per post).
+
+## On-chain события
+
+Клиент сабмитит эти транзакции через обычный `/api/tx` endpoint.
+
+### `CREATE_POST`
+```json
+{
+  "type": "CREATE_POST",
+  "fee":  <estimated_fee_ut>,
+  "payload": {
+    "post_id":        "...",
+    "content_hash":   "<base64 32-byte sha256>",
+    "size":           1234,
+    "hosting_relay":  "<ed25519_hex>",
+    "reply_to":       "",
+    "quote_of":       ""
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Валидации on-chain: `size > 0 && size <= MaxPostSize`,
+`fee >= BasePostFee + size × PostByteFee`, `reply_to` и `quote_of`
+взаимно исключают друг друга. Дубликат `post_id` отклоняется.
+
+### `DELETE_POST`
+```json
+{"type": "DELETE_POST", "fee": 1000, "payload": {"post_id": "..."}}
+```
+Только автор может удалить. Soft-delete (post остаётся в chain, но
+помечен `deleted=true`; читатели получают 410).
+
+### `FOLLOW` / `UNFOLLOW`
+```json
+{"type": "FOLLOW", "to": "<target_ed25519>", "fee": 1000, "payload": {}}
+```
+Двусторонний on-chain индекс: `follow:<A>:<B>` + `followin:<B>:<A>`.
+`UNFOLLOW` зеркально удаляет оба ключа.
+
+### `LIKE_POST` / `UNLIKE_POST`
+```json
+{"type": "LIKE_POST", "fee": 1000, "payload": {"post_id": "..."}}
+```
+Дубль-лайк отклоняется. Кэшированный counter `likecount:<post>`
+хранит O(1) счётчик.
+
+## Pricing / economics (резюме)
+
+| Операция | Cost | Куда уходит |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `CREATE_POST` | 1000 + size×1 µT | Hosting relay |
+| `DELETE_POST` | 1000 µT | Block validator |
+| `FOLLOW` / `UNFOLLOW` | 1000 µT | Block validator |
+| `LIKE_POST` / `UNLIKE_POST` | 1000 µT | Block validator |
+| `/feed/post/{id}/view` | 0 | Off-chain counter |
+
+Причина такого разделения: основные бизнес-действия (публикация) едут
+на «хостера контента», а мелкие социальные tx (лайк/подписка) — на
+валидатора сети, как обычные tx.
+
+## Клиентские вспомогательные функции
+
+В `client-app/lib/feed.ts`:
+- `publishPost(params)` — подпись + POST /feed/publish
+- `publishAndCommit(params)` — publish + CREATE_POST tx в одну операцию
+- `fetchTimeline`, `fetchForYou`, `fetchTrending`, `fetchAuthorPosts`,
+  `fetchHashtag`, `fetchPost`, `fetchStats`, `bumpView`

+**Экономика:**
+- Автор платит `BasePostFee(1000) + size × PostByteFee(1)` µT
+- Вся плата уходит `hosting_relay` пубкею — компенсация за хранение
+- `MaxPostSize = 256 KiB` — hard cap, защищает мейлбокс от abuse
+
+**Метаданные:**
+- EXIF/GPS/camera-info удаляется обязательно на сервере (in-proc для
+  изображений, через FFmpeg-сайдкар для видео)
+- Лайки / follows — on-chain транзакции (provable + anti-Sybil fee)
+- Просмотры — off-chain counter в relay (on-chain было бы абсурдно)
+- Хэштеги — авто-индекс при publish, inverted-index в BadgerDB
+
+Детали — [api/feed.md](api/feed.md).

 ## Динамические валидаторы
 
 Сет валидаторов хранится on-chain в `validator:<pubkey>`. Любой текущий валидатор может добавить или убрать другого (ADD_VALIDATOR / REMOVE_VALIDATOR tx). После commit такого блока PBFT-движок перезагружает сет без рестарта ноды.

+// Package media contains metadata scrubbing and re-compression helpers for
+// files uploaded to the social feed.
+//
+// Why this exists
+// ---------------
+// Every image file carries an EXIF block that can leak:
+//   - GPS coordinates where the photo was taken
+//   - Camera model, serial number, lens
+//   - Original timestamp (even if the user clears their clock)
+//   - Software name / version
+//   - Author / copyright fields
+//   - A small embedded thumbnail that may leak even after cropping
+//
+// Videos and audio have analogous containers (MOV/MP4 atoms, ID3 tags,
+// Matroska tags). For a social feed that prides itself on privacy we
+// can't trust the client to have stripped all of it — we scrub again
+// on the server before persisting the file to the feed mailbox.
+//
+// Strategy
+// --------
+// Images: decode → strip any ICC profile → re-encode with the stdlib
+// JPEG/PNG encoders. These encoders DO NOT emit EXIF, so re-encoding is
+// a complete scrub by construction. Output is JPEG (quality 75) unless
+// the input is a lossless PNG small enough to keep as PNG.
+//
+// Videos: require an external ffmpeg worker (the "media sidecar") —
+// cannot do this in pure Go without a huge CGo footprint. A tiny HTTP
+// contract (see docs/media-sidecar.md) lets node operators plug in
+// compressO-like services behind an env var. If the sidecar is not
+// configured, videos are stored as-is with a LOG WARNING — the operator
+// decides whether to accept that risk.
+//
+// Magic-byte detection: the claimed Content-Type must match what's
+// actually in the bytes; mismatches are rejected (prevents a PDF
+// labelled as image/jpeg from bypassing the scrubber).
