clawbot f375c0c26b Bring README.md in line with the modes and the schema (closes #119)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The MODE section described a query-only command. It now covers channel
and user mode queries and changes on the HTTP API and the IRC listener,
the letters each accepts, what is broadcast, and the error numerics.
The schema section now lists every table and column in
001_initial.sql.

Every other statement this change touches was checked against the code:
polled numerics carry their name in command and their number in code;
command errors are numerics with HTTP 200; the broker is keyed by
session; WAL is never on; a hostname falls back to the IP and is
public; and the IRC listener handles modes, NOTICE, INVITE, +s and +H
more narrowly, with gaps in its bridge to the HTTP API.

Model: opus-5-5

clawbot ccb2bf7960 Keep active IRC listener users from expiring (closes #121)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Every command a registered IRC listener client sends, PING and PONG
included, now sets last_seen on its session and its client, so the
idle cleanup no longer removes an IRC user who is still active; one
who sends nothing for SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT is still removed. The two
UPDATEs that GetSessionByToken ran for every authenticated HTTP API
request move into UpdateLastSeen, which both transports now call. The
IRC listener refreshes on every command, with no interval between
writes: that is what every HTTP API request already costs. README.md
describes last_seen to match.
