docs: reviewer feedback pass on Nostr-discovery surface
Walk through reviewer feedback on the Nostr-discovery docs and land 18 items. Bulk patterns: - `external_addr` / `public: true` semantics consistently misdescribed. The advert path is gated on `cfg.is_public()`; inside that branch the daemon picks an address by precedence (`external_addr`, non-wildcard `bind_addr`, STUN). The docs treated `public: true` and `external_addr` as alternatives when they are stacked: `public: true` is the master switch and `external_addr` populates the address inside it. Reconciled across `enable-nostr-discovery.md` and `advertise-your-node.md`: add `public: true` to the `external_addr` examples; replace "STUN as a logging cross-check" with "STUN is skipped entirely"; fix "neither flag is needed" for direct public bind (both flags still required); make the publish-tutorial Step 3 conditional on the chosen Step 2 path (STUN runs only on the `public: true` path); rewrite the troubleshooting "wrong public IP advertised" bullet with two coherent fixes. - `udp:nat` overpromised as a symmetric-NAT solution. Symmetric NAT on either side typically defeats the punch. Reframe `udp:nat` as best-effort hole-punching for nodes without a directly reachable UDP endpoint in the how-to, the publish tutorial (intro, callout, section heading rewrite from "If you're behind symmetric NAT" to "If your direct UDP advert isn't reachable"), the consume tutorial's "What's next" pointer, and `tutorials/README.md`. Promote reachability over named NAT classes: STUN can confirm the public IP but not that the listener-port mapping is open. - YAML "silently ignores unknown keys" is wrong. Config parser rejects unknown fields via `serde(deny_unknown_fields)` on the per-section structs; misspelled fields refuse the daemon's start with a parse-error line in the journal. Fixed in the publish tutorial's troubleshooting and the open-discovery tutorial's `policy` typo bullet. Mechanical fixes: - Repoint stale anchors. `getting-started.md` and `configuration.md` linked to `#installation` / `#inspect` on the README; the README has no such headings. Repoint to `#quick-start` and `cli-fipsctl.md`. Two stale anchors in the publish tutorial pointing at non-existent sub-scenarios in the how-to (`#sub-scenario-2c-...`, `#sub-scenario-2b-tor-onion-node`) repointed to the correct anchors. - Drop the `fipsctl show status` claim from the open-discovery troubleshooting bullet (`show_status` doesn't include `discovery.nostr.policy`). Replace with daemon startup logs. - Fix the `advertise: false` parenthetical in the consume-only tutorial (`default_advertise()` returns `true`; we set `false` explicitly for the consume-only path). - Drop the "supplies a relay list" overstatement in two activation paragraphs (the how-to and the design doc). Default relay / STUN-server lists ship in the config; both are optional overrides. - Add the missing `transports.udp.public` entry to the open-discovery tutorial's prerequisites checklist. Tutorial users coming out of advertise-your-node could be on either the direct-UDP (`public: true`) or `udp:nat` (`public: false`) path; list both.

| 7 | [host-a-service.md](host-a-service.md) | Bring up an HTTP server bound to `fips0` so mesh nodes can reach it, with a deliberate exposure decision (mesh-only vs every interface), and the mesh firewall as a default-deny baseline. The peer ACL (a separate, transport-layer control over which npubs may peer with your node) is briefly mentioned alongside. |
