* Most of these are *public, non-destructive content* — an event the user creates and could
* delete afterwards, in the same risk class as the original kind 1/6/7 set (notes, reposts,
* reactions, pictures, videos, voice, public/live/relay chat, threads, polls, comments,
* highlights, code snippets, file metadata, reports, torrents, long-form articles, wiki, status).
* Some are *addressable* (long-form 30023, wiki 30818, legacy video 34235/34236): re-signing
* with the same `d` tag replaces the app's own prior version at that address — an accepted
* trade-off, since an app that can already post arbitrary notes could do equal reputational harm.
* The set also includes two harmless non-content signatures:
* - **zap request** (9734) — moves nothing; it only fetches a Lightning invoice. The payment
* itself is the separately-gated `value.payInvoice` capability that prompts on *every* use
* regardless of policy.
* - **relay auth** (22242, NIP-42) — an ephemeral proof-of-key bound to a single relay and
* challenge (it cannot be replayed to another relay). Amethyst's own client auto-signs it
* for every logged-in account, so treating it as background noise matches existing behavior.
*
* None of the members can silently: spend money, overwrite account configuration (profile 0,
* contacts 3, relay/mute/bookmark lists are replaceable — a bad write can wipe settings),
* delete content (kind 5), or leak private data. Notable exclusions that stay ASK:
* - **nutzap** (9321) — publishing one *is* the payment (it carries spendable ecash proofs).
* - **NIP-98 HTTP auth** (27235) — authorizes an arbitrary HTTP request as the user, including
* destructive/admin calls (NIP-96 blob deletes, NIP-86 relay management); blast radius is too
* broad to auto-approve.
* - **decryption** ([NostrSignerOp.Decrypt]) and DMs — reveal private content.
* - **replaceable configuration** (profile 0, contacts 3, and the 10000-range lists above) —
* unlike addressable *content*, these hold account settings a bad write can silently wipe.
*
* Deliberately conservative: when a kind's blast radius is unclear, it is left out so the user
* is asked rather than surprised.
