Show square brackets in the neoirc-cli message window as written (closes #233)

The message window has colour tags on, so tview read square-bracket
text in nicks, channel names, reasons, topics and message text as
tags. It dropped that text or changed the colour of the rest of the
line.

A new escape in internal/cli/ui.go writes each "[" as "[[:]", and
app.go applies it to every part of a line that comes from the user or
the server. tview.Escape is not used: it misses bracket pairs holding
symbols such as "|", and tags with a URL.

Lines for other server commands now show the command, such as
"[MODE]", which tview had read as a tag.

-JSON Schema definitions (draft 2020-12) for the neoirc protocol. Messages use
-**IRC command names and numeric reply codes** (RFC 1459/2812) encoded as JSON
-over HTTP.
+This directory holds JSON Schema files (draft 2020-12) for the messages that the
+neoirc HTTP API carries. `message.json` describes the fields that every message
+can have. `commands/` has files for some commands. `numerics/` has files for
+some of the numeric replies. A numeric reply is a server reply named by a
+three-digit number, such as `001`. `README.md` at the repository root documents
+the protocol.
 
-## Envelope
+The server can also run an IRC listener for ordinary IRC clients. The IRC
+listener sends plain IRC lines, which these files do not describe.
 
-Every message is a JSON object with a `command` field. The format maps directly
-to IRC wire format:
+## Message fields
+
+Every message is one JSON object, which `message.json` calls the envelope. These
+are the fields it can have:
+
+- `command`: the IRC command name, such as `PRIVMSG`, or the name of a numeric
+  reply, such as `RPL_WELCOME`. Always present.
+- `code`: the number of a numeric reply, such as `1` for `RPL_WELCOME`. Absent
+  on other messages.
+- `id`: the message's UUID, a unique ID that the server assigns.
+- `from`: the sender's nick, or the server name on a numeric reply or a `PONG`.
+- `to`: the target, such as a channel name starting with `#` or a nick.
+- `params`: an array of strings with the message's other parameters, in order.
+  `KICK` events and many numeric replies have it. The HTTP API ignores `params`
+  sent by a client.
+- `body`: an array of strings. It is never a bare string. In a `PRIVMSG` or
+  `NOTICE`, each string is one line of text.
+- `ts`: the time the server stored the message. It is an RFC 3339 time in UTC,
+  such as `2026-10-27T12:00:00.123Z`.
+- `meta`: an object of extra data, such as a hashcash stamp in `meta.hashcash`.
+  A hashcash stamp is a short string that takes a computer some work to make. A
+  `PRIVMSG` to a channel with mode `+H` needs one. The HTTP API relays the
+  `meta` of a `PRIVMSG` or `NOTICE` unchanged. It drops the `meta` of every
+  other command.
+
+Here is one `PRIVMSG` as the IRC listener sends it and as the HTTP API sends it.
+The JSON leaves out `id`, `ts` and `meta`:
 
 ```
-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"]}
-
-Multiline:  {"command": "PRIVMSG", "to": "#ch", "body": ["line 1", "line 2"]}
-Structured: {"command": "PUBKEY", "body": {"alg": "ed25519", "key": "base64..."}}
+IRC:  :alice!alice@* PRIVMSG #general :hello world
+JSON: {"command": "PRIVMSG", "from": "alice", "to": "#general", "body": ["hello world"]}
 ```
 
-Common fields (see `message.json` for full schema):
+In the JSON, a numeric reply has its name in `command` and its number in `code`.
+This `353` reply lists the members of `#general`. The JSON again leaves out
+`id`, `ts` and `meta`:
 
-| Field     | Type            | Description                                          |
-| --------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
-| `id`      | string (uuid)   | Server-assigned message UUID                         |
-| `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`    | array \| object | Structured body — never a raw string (see below)     |
-| `ts`      | string          | ISO 8601 timestamp (server-assigned, not in raw IRC) |
-| `meta`    | object          | Extensible metadata (signatures, hashes, etc.)       |
+```
+{"command": "RPL_NAMREPLY", "code": 353, "from": "neoirc", "to": "alice",
+ "params": ["=", "#general"], "body": ["@op1!op1@host1 alice!alice@host2"]}
+```
 
-**Structured bodies:** `body` is always an array of strings (for text) or an
-object (for structured data like PUBKEY). Never a raw string. This enables:
+A `PRIVMSG` whose `body` has two strings is a two-line message:
 
-- Multiline messages without escape sequences
-- Deterministic canonicalization via RFC 8785 JCS for signing
-- Structured data where needed
+```
+{"command": "PRIVMSG", "to": "#general", "body": ["line one", "line two"]}
+```
 
-## Commands
+## Files
 
-IRC commands used for client↔server and server↔server communication.
+Most command files describe both the message a client sends and the message the
+server sends. Their field descriptions say where the two differ. The examples in
+the files leave out `id`, `ts` and `meta`.

-## 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.
