Three silent failure modes killed nostr peer requests (analyzed from the
live code 2026-07-22): (1) nothing ever polled the relays except the
manual Federation Poll button — a 5-minute background poll now fetches
inbound requests and nudges the websocket when something lands (the
handler's discoverability gate still applies); (2) handshake send/poll
used only the two hardcoded config relays (one defunct) and ignored the
user-managed relay list — every nostr op now uses the merged set;
(3) publish errors were swallowed (let _ =) so 'ok' was reported even
when no relay accepted the event — now a delivery failure is an error
the UI shows.
