feat(events): send the idempotency key, and declare champ.boss.killed (Phase 11a)
The website's half of protocol 6.

Every event-driven write now carries the step's idempotency key, and `uo.broadcast`
stops being un-retryable. Phase 9 shipped it answering `retry: false` to everything
including a 503 from a shard that was merely restarting, with a comment naming the
line that would change when the wire could refuse a repeat. This is that line: it
defers to `sidecarFailure`, the same helper its two siblings already used, so the
hand-rolled variant that forced every outcome terminal is gone rather than re-tuned.

One verb was less idempotent than its own id made it look. Both keyed verbs post
under a run-scoped id and a repeat replaces — but `news.add` with `announce: true`
makes the criers proclaim the title on every post, so a retry replaced the article
silently and proclaimed it again. The key stops the second proclamation.

`champ.boss.killed` is mapped to the `champs` feature (rule 2 would otherwise fail
it closed to admin), with `damagers` a nested `staff` field rule: the kill is public
because a champion falling is what the board is for, the ranked roll of who was
strong enough to fell it is not. `uo.champ.boss_killed` is declared as a trigger —
which is what makes it usable as an event PHASE CONDITION, since a condition is
written over a trigger firing — and it carries `damagerCount`, never a damager name,
because a trigger variable reaches mail an operator may address to every subscriber.

Its seeded rule is its own group, `champ-boss-killed-v1`: `triggers-v1` is stamped
once under a settings guard, so appending a 27th entry would have reached fresh
installs and nothing else. It also ships email+inapp and NOT push, and the comment
says why — no trigger in this module is also a registered stream, so no engagement
rule here can push. That is pre-existing in twenty rules and flagged rather than
fixed; this one declines to be the twenty-first.

// ── Shard feature visibility ───────────────────────────────────────────────
//
// Admin-configurable, per-feature and per-field audience control over every
// shard-derived surface on the site. Replaces the hardcoded split that used to
// live in two places (the PUBLIC_KINDS allowlist in shardBroadcast.js, and the
// ad-hoc `canSeeStaffLocation` style checks in the public controllers).
//
// Design rules (docs/link/v3.md §3):
//
// • Visibility lives HERE, on the website — never in the sidecar. The sidecar
// is a dumb forwarder: it accepts frames, stores them, forwards them
// verbatim, and serves store-backed reads. It defines no audiences.
// • Every default reproduces the behavior that shipped before this module, so
// installing it changes nothing until an admin edits the config.
// • Two rules an admin CANNOT override:
// 1. `acct` / `webId` are admin-only, always. They are not in-game
// visible (unlike a character name) and are not configurable fields.
// 2. A kind absent from KIND_FEATURE is never broadcast below `admin`.
// Fail closed — this is what keeps the kind map a security boundary
// rather than a convenience filter.
//
// The audience ladder is ordered; each rung implies the ones below it.

//
// • an unknown VIEWER level floors to the bottom rung (grants nothing), and
// • an unknown REQUIREMENT ceils to the top rung (satisfied by nobody but admin).

//
// `damagers` is the ranked table of who fought the boss and for how much. It is
// the honest basis for "who slew the champion" and it is also a performance
// record of named players that nobody consented to publish, which is precisely
// the tension the ladder exists to let a shard resolve for itself. It defaults
// to `staff`: the kill is public (a champion falling is announced in-world and
// is the content the board is for), the roll of who did the damage is not. A
// shard that wants a public board lowers one rule.
//
// Nested for the same reason `market.fees` and `houses.schedule` are: one rule
// covers the whole table rather than a rule per column, and the columns here
// are actor objects whose `acct`/`webId` remain admin-only by the locked-field
// rule regardless of what this is set to.
//
// `killer` is deliberately NOT listed. It is the single actor whose blow landed

// and the same disclosure `mob.killed` has published on the public activity
// feed since before this framework existed.

// REST read models. Both are listed so one rule covers the wire and the read
// model — the flattened `ownerAcct` needs no entry, being locked by rule 1.
// Protocol 5 adds `schedule` — when the next stage lands and, where ServUO can
// actually know it, when the house collapses. It defaults to `anonymous` because
// that is what the public IDOC page is FOR: the countdown is the content, and a
// house at IDOC is already announced in game. It is listed rather than left
// unconfigurable so a shard that considers a precise collapse time an unfair
// advantage can raise it, and it is one NESTED key so raising it hides the whole

// named for the field's meaning rather than its key silently does nothing — the
// same failure §3.6.1 records for the flattened `ownerAcct` spelling. Within a
// leaderboards payload `name` can only be a character name: the board's own
// display name arrives as `nameString`/`nameNumber`.
leaderboards: { audience: 'anonymous', fields: { name: 'anonymous' } },
// Shop name, owner character name and vendor location are already globally
// visible in-game via the stock Vendor Search gump, so publishing them is not
// a new disclosure — but they stay configurable so an admin can tighten them.
//
// `ownerName` and `location` were pre-wired here by Part A, before the frame
// existed; both were re-checked against the real `vendor.listing` and both are
// genuine keys on it (unlike leaderboards' `characterName`, which was inert).
// `location` is a NESTED object on the wire and on the read model precisely so
// that one rule hides map, coordinates, region and house together — five flat
// keys would be five rules that drift apart.
//
// `ownerSerial` is listed alongside `ownerName` for the same reason `houses`
// lists both: an admin who hides the owner's name and is left with a serial
// that every other board resolves back to that name has not hidden anything.
// Protocol 5 adds `fees`, and it does NOT follow the rest of this feature's
// defaults. The shop name, the owner and the location are already visible to any
// player through the stock in-game Vendor Search gump, which is the whole argument
// for publishing them. A vendor's held gold, daily charge and dismissal date are
// not: in game they are visible to the OWNER, on that vendor's own gump. Publishing
// them anonymously would be a genuinely new disclosure and a targeting aid — it
// says which shops are about to be abandoned and how much coin is sitting in each.
// So it defaults to `admin`, the only default here that does not reproduce prior
// behaviour, because there is no prior behaviour to reproduce.
