feat(cli): chat — read a group's last messages, post one
chat GROUP prints the last ten messages, oldest first (-N, as head -N, or -n N for another count, paging back past the node's 200), and -m posts one (- reads it from stdin). The application's construction: every epoch key from chat_keys_req, a post sealed under the current epoch through the device subkey and signed with this machine's key on the node, the sender's name inside the envelope; nothing sent past the node's ciphertext bound. A stored message is read signature first, then key, then content, and one that fails is shown as unreadable, never dropped. Not done here: the Tier 2 roster check on the signing device.
