Subject: feat: browser access, decided in the desktop application

Off for an account made there: its identities stay on the device and nothing is
left on nodes. Turned on from the Profile page behind a native confirmation;
each node is settled when its group next opens. The hub keeps a mirror a
browser reads to say why a group will not open; it grants nothing.
