Rewrite schema/README.md sentence by sentence

Rewrite the description of the JSON Schema directory from scratch,
without tables, as a reader of the files needs it. Describe the
envelope as the server sends it: the reply name in `command` and the
number in `code`. Drop the federation section, which describes nothing
the server does. List where each schema file disagrees with the
server, so a reader is not misled; the files themselves are unchanged.

Part of #190.

-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 envelope every message
+uses. `commands/` holds one file per IRC command and `numerics/` one file per
+numeric reply. `README.md` at the repository root documents every command, reply
+and field.
 
-## Envelope
+## The envelope
 
-Every message is a JSON object with a `command` field. The format maps directly
-to IRC wire format:
+Every message is one JSON object with these fields:
+
+- `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, assigned by the server.
+- `from`: the sender's nick, or the server name on a server message.
+- `to`: the target: a channel name starting with `#`, or a nick.
+- `params`: further positional parameters, as an array of strings. `KICK` and
+  many numeric replies use it.
+- `body`: an array of strings, one per line of text. It is never a bare string.
+- `ts`: when the server stored the message, in RFC 3339 form, in UTC.
+- `meta`: an object of extra data, such as a hashcash stamp in `meta.hashcash`.
+  The server stores and relays it as it is.
+
+Two IRC lines and their JSON form:
 
 ```
-IRC:  :nick PRIVMSG #channel :hello world
-JSON: {"command": "PRIVMSG", "from": "nick", "to": "#channel", "body": ["hello world"]}
+IRC:  :alice PRIVMSG #general :hello world

-Common fields (see `message.json` for full schema):
+A `body` with two strings is a two-line message:
 
-| 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": "PRIVMSG", "to": "#general", "body": ["line one", "line two"]}
+```
 
-**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:

-- Multiline messages without escape sequences
-- Deterministic canonicalization via RFC 8785 JCS for signing

+Commands, in `commands/`:

-## 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.
+- The numeric files put the three-digit code in `command` and have no `code`
+  field. The server puts the reply's name in `command` and its number in `code`.
+- `353.json` says `body` lists nicks. Over the HTTP API the server lists
+  hostmasks, such as `@op1!op1@host1`.
+- `MODE.json` puts the mode change in `params`. The server puts it in `body`:
+  one string such as `"+o bob"`, or the change and its value as two strings,
+  such as `"+k"` and `"secret"`.
+- `JOIN.json` has no `body`. The server's `JOIN` event repeats the channel name
+  in `body`.
+- `PING.json` describes a token in `body`. The server ignores the body of a
+  `PING` and answers the HTTP request itself with
+  `{"command": "PONG", "from": "<server name>"}`.
+- `TOPIC.json` says a `TOPIC` without a body queries the topic. Over the HTTP
+  API a `TOPIC` without a body gets `ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS` (461).
+- `PUBKEY.json` describes a command the server does not have.
