Subject: feat(cli): invitations, join, decline, leave, devices, browser access

join accepts an invitation or redeems a link pasted as sent, then has the
node admit a key pair made here, with the invitation's code (a link's code
goes only to the node it names; one for a node that is away is kept for the
next connection). decline, leave and devices revoke ask first, and refuse
without --yes where there is no terminal. devices approve countersigns the
one waiting request a code matches, none when several do. browser-access is
the application's setting, kept per machine and never enabled from the hub's
mirror: on leaves a copy sealed under M on each node, off withdraws it,
unset touches nothing. A key pair made for a first contact is now kept.

+`browser-access`: whether this machine leaves, on each node, a copy of its keys
+a browser can open with the passphrase — the application's Profile → Browser
+access, kept by this machine (docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §3.7).
+
+`on`: each group opened here leaves a copy sealed under the passphrase-derived
+key, when its node holds none or an outdated one. `off`: the copy a node holds
+is withdrawn. Never set: nothing is written or withdrawn, so a CLI nobody
+configured never undoes what the application of another computer does.
+
+Set here and nowhere else. The hub keeps a mirror of it, written here as the

+never make this machine upload keys: read, it only produces a message.
