clawbot dfb1636be5 refactor: model message schemas after IRC RFC 1459/2812
Replace c2s/s2c/s2s taxonomy with IRC-native structure:
- schema/commands/ — IRC command schemas (PRIVMSG, NOTICE, JOIN, PART,
  QUIT, NICK, TOPIC, MODE, KICK, PING, PONG)
- schema/numerics/ — IRC numeric reply codes (001-004, 322-323, 332,
  353, 366, 372-376, 401, 403, 433, 442, 482)
- schema/message.json — base envelope mapping IRC wire format to JSON

Messages use 'command' field with IRC command names or 3-digit numeric
codes. 'body' is a string (IRC trailing parameter), not object/array.
'from'/'to' map to IRC prefix and first parameter.

Federation uses the same IRC commands (no custom RELAY/LINK/SYNC).

Update README message format, command tables, and examples to match.

# Message Schemas
JSON Schema definitions (draft 2020-12) for the chat protocol. Messages use
**IRC command names and numeric reply codes** (RFC 1459/2812) encoded as JSON
over HTTP.
## Envelope
Every message is a JSON object with a `command` field. The format maps directly
to IRC wire format:
```
IRC: :nick PRIVMSG #channel :hello world
JSON: {"command": "PRIVMSG", "from": "nick", "to": "#channel", "body": "hello world"}
IRC: :server 353 nick = #channel :user1 @op1 +voice1
JSON: {"command": "353", "to": "nick", "params": ["=", "#channel"], "body": "user1 @op1 +voice1"}
```
Common fields (see `message.json` for full schema):
| Field | Type | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer | Server-assigned ID (monotonically increasing) |
| `command` | string | IRC command or 3-digit numeric code |
| `from` | string | Source nick or server name (IRC prefix) |
| `to` | string | Target: #channel or nick |
| `params` | string[] | Middle parameters (mainly for numerics) |
| `body` | string | Trailing parameter (message text) |
| `ts` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp (server-assigned, not in raw IRC) |
| `meta` | object | Extensible metadata (not in raw IRC) |
## Commands
IRC commands used for client↔server and server↔server communication.

| `PONG` | `commands/PONG.json` | 1459 §4.6.3 | Keepalive response |
## Numeric Replies
Three-digit codes for server responses, per IRC convention.
### Success / Informational (0xx3xx)
| Code | Name | File | Description |
|-------|-------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------|
| `001` | RPL_WELCOME | `numerics/001.json` | Welcome after session creation |
| `002` | RPL_YOURHOST | `numerics/002.json` | Server host info |
| `003` | RPL_CREATED | `numerics/003.json` | Server creation date |
| `004` | RPL_MYINFO | `numerics/004.json` | Server info and modes |
| `322` | RPL_LIST | `numerics/322.json` | Channel list entry |
| `323` | RPL_LISTEND | `numerics/323.json` | End of channel list |
| `332` | RPL_TOPIC | `numerics/332.json` | Channel topic |
| `353` | RPL_NAMREPLY | `numerics/353.json` | Channel member list |
| `366` | RPL_ENDOFNAMES | `numerics/366.json` | End of NAMES list |

| `375` | RPL_MOTDSTART | `numerics/375.json` | Start of MOTD |
| `376` | RPL_ENDOFMOTD | `numerics/376.json` | End of MOTD |
### Errors (4xx)
| Code | Name | File | Description |
|-------|----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------|
| `401` | ERR_NOSUCHNICK | `numerics/401.json` | No such nick/channel |
| `403` | ERR_NOSUCHCHANNEL | `numerics/403.json` | No such channel |
| `433` | ERR_NICKNAMEINUSE | `numerics/433.json` | Nickname already in use |
| `442` | ERR_NOTONCHANNEL | `numerics/442.json` | Not on that channel |
| `482` | ERR_CHANOPRIVSNEEDED | `numerics/482.json` | Not channel operator |
## Federation (S2S)
Server-to-server messages use the same command format. Federated servers relay
messages with an additional `origin` field in `meta` to track the source server.
The PING/PONG commands serve as inter-server keepalives. State sync after link
establishment uses a burst of JOIN, NICK, TOPIC, and MODE commands.
