// ── Push-notification fan-out (content-free tickles) ───────────────────────
//
// The transport-agnostic publisher that turns a stream id into opt-in push
// notifications. It knows nothing about where the stream came from: the admin
// create/publish-post path calls publish('news.post', …), and utils/shardPush.js
// resolves a shard event to a stream and an owner and calls the same function.
//
// That split is MODULE_SYSTEM.md §1.8's second entanglement, inverted. This file
// used to own `fromShardEvent()`, which required the shardLinks model and the
// shard event mapper — core infrastructure reaching into game content. Now the
// content side calls in, and a module reaches this through `ctx.push.publish`.
//
// What actually leaves the server is a CONTENT-FREE tickle — `{ stream, ref }`,
// no sensitive data — POSTed to each subscribed device's UnifiedPush/ntfy
// endpoint. The app wakes and PULLS the real content over the authenticated,
// ownership-checked API. So ntfy is treated as an untrusted relay: a leaked topic
// reveals nothing, which is what lets it run with no per-user accounts
// (docs/android/PLAN.md §11).
//
// SECURITY: a device `endpoint` is a client-supplied URL the server makes
// server-side POSTs to — a classic SSRF vector. isAllowedEndpoint() gates every
// registration AND every publish: HTTPS only, never a private/loopback host, and
// (when configured) the origin must be in the shard's ntfy allow-set.
