fix: stop leaking TURN secret to browser clients

WASTE_CONFIG.turnSecret was shipped in plaintext config.js and used to
compute coturn HMAC credentials client-side in browser.ts. Anyone reading
the PWA's JS could read the secret and mint unlimited long-lived TURN
credentials, turning the relay into an open proxy.

The anchor now mints short-lived (1h) credentials server-side via a new
GET /turn-credentials endpoint (-turn-secret flag), mirroring what the
daemon already does. The browser fetches credentials instead of holding
the secret. Daemon mode was unaffected (already server-side).

Docs updated to drop turnSecret from config.js examples, document the
new nginx route, and instruct anyone with an old config.js to rotate
the coturn secret since it was previously exposed.

+## EXT-008 — Message Reactions
+
+### Wire message (`PeerMessage`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "reaction",
+  "reaction_mid": "<32-hex mid of the target message>",
+  "reaction_emoji": "👍"
+}
+```
+
+Sent on the normal mesh DataChannel (same as `chat`). No signing beyond
+the existing channel-level encryption.
+
+### Semantics
+
+- A reaction is idempotent: the same `(mid, emoji, from_peer)` triple is
+  stored with `INSERT OR IGNORE` — receiving a duplicate is a no-op.
+- There is no "un-react" wire message. Toggling off a reaction in the UI
+  is a local-only operation in the current implementation.
+- `reaction_mid` must reference a message that exists in the local store;
+  unknown mids are silently ignored.
+
+### Storage
+
+SQLite table added as a migration:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS reactions (
+  mid        TEXT NOT NULL,
+  emoji      TEXT NOT NULL,
+  from_peer  TEXT NOT NULL,
+  reacted_at DATETIME NOT NULL,
+  PRIMARY KEY (mid, emoji, from_peer)
+)
+```
+
+### IPC
+
+**Command** — send a reaction (daemon and browser mode):
+```json
+{ "type": "send_reaction", "network_id": "...", "reaction_mid": "<hex>", "reaction_emoji": "👍" }
+```
+
+**Event** — reaction received or replayed from history:
+```json
+{ "type": "reaction", "network_id": "...", "peer_id": "<64-hex>", "reaction_mid": "<hex>", "reaction_emoji": "👍" }
+```
+
+Stored reactions are replayed as `reaction` IPC events when history is
+loaded (`sendStoredHistory`), so the UI always sees reactions alongside
+their messages.
+
+### History replay
+
+When `sendStoredHistory` sends a `history_chunk`, it also queries
+`ReactionsForRoom` and emits one `reaction` event per stored reaction so
+clients receive the full reaction state on reconnect.
+
+### Browser mode
+
+`browser.ts` mirrors the daemon behaviour independently:
+
+- `PeerConn.sendReaction(mid, emoji)` broadcasts `{ type: "reaction", reaction_mid, reaction_emoji }` over the DataChannel.
+- Incoming `reaction` wire frames are dispatched as `reaction` IPC events.
+- `BrowserAdapter.send()` handles `send_reaction` commands and both broadcasts to all peers and emits a local `reaction` event.
+- `sendChat` includes the `mid` in the wire frame so reactions can reference it correctly across peers.

 ### TURN relay ✅ (shipped)
 Both browser and daemon modes support TURN relay.
 
-**Browser mode:** `iceServers()` in `browser.ts` reads `WASTE_CONFIG.turnURL` and `WASTE_CONFIG.turnSecret`, generates time-limited HMAC-SHA1 credentials (compatible with coturn `use-auth-secret`), and adds the TURN server to the ICE candidate list. The peer dot turns yellow for relayed connections (`candidate_type: relay`).

The secret now lives only on the anchor (`-turn-secret` flag); the anchor mints short-lived credentials per-request instead.
 
 **Daemon mode:** `-turn-url` and `-turn-secret` flags on `cmd/daemon`. `turnICEServers()` in `internal/netmgr/manager.go` generates HMAC-SHA1 credentials and injects them into the ICE server list for every new peer connection.

+### Message Reactions ✅ (shipped)
+Full-stack emoji reactions. The web UI shows a `+` button on hover that opens a six-emoji picker (👍 ❤️ 😂 😮 😢 🙏). Reactions render as chips below each message; clicking an existing chip toggles your own reaction. Reactions are stored in SQLite (`reactions` table), gossiped over the mesh as `reaction` wire messages (EXT-008), and replayed via IPC on reconnect.
+
+Browser mode: `browser.ts` independently mirrors the daemon — reactions flow over the DataChannel and are broadcast to all connected peers.
+
+TUI: messages show `[n]` line numbers. Use `/react <emoji>` (reacts to last message) or `/react <n> <emoji>` (reacts to message `n`). Reactions render inline below the target message.
+
+### Link Rendering + Image Preview ✅ (shipped)
+URLs in messages are auto-linked. URLs ending in a recognized image extension (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.svg`) render an inline `<img>` preview (max 320×200px). `blob:` and `data:image` URLs are also treated as images.
+
+### Responsive Mobile Layout ✅ (shipped)
+At viewport width ≤ 600px the sidebar becomes a fixed-position slide-over drawer, hidden off-screen by default (`transform: translateX(-100%)`). A `☰` hamburger button in the message pane header toggles it open. Clicking any room or network in the sidebar closes it automatically. The layout is dimmed while the sidebar is open via a `::before` overlay.
 
 ### Push Notifications (planned)
 The web UI is already a PWA (installable, has manifest). The missing half is a service worker + Web Push subscription:

Don't — anyone reading the PWA's JS bundle could read it and mint unlimited, long-lived TURN credentials, turning your relay into an open proxy for anyone.

-> The browser adapter reads `turnURL` and `turnSecret` from `WASTE_CONFIG` and adds the TURN server to the WebRTC `ICEServers` list automatically. If not configured, STUN-only is used (works for most desktop/home NAT situations).
+The browser adapter calls `signalURL` with `/ws` swapped for `/turn-credentials` to find the anchor's endpoint by default; set `turnCredentialsURL` explicitly in `WASTE_CONFIG` if the anchor is reachable at a different path. If `turnURL` is set but the credentials endpoint is unreachable, the browser falls back to STUN-only.
