fix: only the owner decides who hosts a group, and nobody is made a member unasked
- hub: a node may host a group only if its account owns it or the owner
approved that node (new `group_hosts`). Membership was the ceiling, and
every member holds the group key, so any member's node could register as a
host and be the one clients kept. A node claiming a group it may not host
is recorded as a request; the owner is notified once and approves or
refuses it (GET/POST/DELETE /v1/groups/{id}/hosts[/{node_id}]), which
takes effect on a connected node at once.
- hub: an owner adding a username creates an invitation (new
`group_invitations`), accepted or declined by the invitee
(/v1/groups/invitations, /{id}/invitation/accept|decline). Until then the
group is not listed, not dialled, not searched and not in any token.
Invitation links, open joins and group creation still make members
directly: they are the account's own act.
- hub: the MNP token names only the group it is minted for (group_id is now
required), so a node operator no longer learns a member's other groups.
- SPA: invitations on the home page; invited people and host requests in
the group's settings; the transport sends group_id. Ten catalogues.
- Browser probes for both screens, run in Chrome and Firefox.
- Design §5.2, §7.2, §7.3, AV32, AV33; protocol §6.3; user guide.

Identity keys are pinned by t node's roster. The hub certifies accounts, not keys. `not_a_member` means the hub did not count this account a member of the group when it -minted the token. The MNP token is minted for each connection, from the membership the -hub holds at that moment, so a stale `groups` claim is no longer the usual cause; the +minted the token. The MNP token is minted for each connection and names **only** that +connection's group (`POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token {node_pk, group_id}`; `groups` is empty +for a non-member), so the operator it is handed to learns nothing of the member's +other groups. A stale `groups` claim is therefore no longer the usual cause; the client still refreshes its session once and retries on that code before telling someone who was just invited that they are not a member. |
