Outgoing kind-20000 geohash messages mine a NIP-13 nonce tag (8 leading
zero bits, ~256 hashes, typically <1 ms) off the main actor before
signing. Mining is hard-capped at 2 s and cancellable (newer send or
channel switch): on cap/cancel the committed target steps down so the
message still ships promptly with an honest commitment - sending is
never blocked and nothing is dropped. The hot loop serializes the
canonical event once and rewrites only the fixed-width nonce bytes.
Inbound kind-20000 events are scored per NIP-13 commitment semantics
(committed target counts; the ID must actually meet it, extra work
earns nothing) and never hard-rejected: validated PoW >= 8 bits skips
the per-sender rate-limit bucket while the per-content flood bucket
still applies, so old non-mining clients keep working under today's
strict limits while bulk spam gets expensive.
Presence heartbeats (kind 20001), kind-1 notes, and DMs are unchanged;
no UI beyond a pow= field in an existing sampled debug log.
Reimplemented from scratch rather than cherry-picking the stale
feature/pow-geohash-mining-ui branch (unbounded loop, hard receive
filtering, mining UI, XCTest, force unwraps).
