Subject: [PATCH] feat: show last-activity time on relay-group rows; correct
 preview semantics
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a compact "2h"/"3d" last-activity timestamp to each discovery row's
name line, so the preview reads as recent activity with a clear recency
signal rather than an implied live feed.

On the discovery screen most groups are ones you haven't joined, and the
app's always-on live chat tail is joined-groups-only — a non-member isn't
streamed a group's new messages — so the last-message line is a snapshot
of recent public activity that fills in and refreshes as the row loads,
not a real-time ticker. Reword the code comment to match.
