feat(cli): v1.7.0 — terminal parity for SSE + members + mentions

Three new verbs that wrap the v1.6.x REST surface:

  claudemesh topic tail <name>  → live SSE consumer with N-message backfill
  claudemesh member list        → mesh roster decorated with online state
  claudemesh notification list  → recent @-mentions of you across topics

Each command auto-mints a 5-minute read-only apikey via the WS
broker and revokes on exit, so users don't manage tokens. SSE
client uses fetch + ReadableStream so the bearer stays in the
Authorization header.

 Peer mesh for Claude Code sessions. Connect multiple Claude Code instances into a shared mesh with real-time messaging, shared state, memory, file sharing, vector store, scheduled jobs, and more — all driven from the `claudemesh` CLI. The MCP server is a tool-less push-pipe that delivers inbound peer messages to Claude as `<channel>` interrupts; everything else lives behind CLI verbs that Claude learns from the auto-installed `claudemesh` skill.
 
-> **What's new in 1.6.0:** topics (channel pub/sub), API keys for human/REST clients, and bridge peers that forward a topic between two meshes. New verbs: `claudemesh topic`, `claudemesh apikey`, `claudemesh bridge`. A REST surface at `https://claudemesh.com/api/v1/*` (messages, topics, peers, history) accepts `Authorization: Bearer cm_...` keys, so any HTTPS client can participate without WebSocket + ed25519 plumbing. **Note**: REST lives on the web host (`claudemesh.com`), not the broker host (`ic.claudemesh.com`) — the broker only speaks WebSocket.
+> **What's new in 1.7.0:** terminal parity for the v1.6.x server features. New verbs: `claudemesh topic tail` (live SSE message stream — Ctrl-C to exit), `claudemesh notification list` (recent `@you` mentions across topics), `claudemesh member list` (mesh roster with online dots, distinct from `peer list`'s live-session view). Each command auto-mints a 5-minute read-only apikey via the WebSocket and revokes it on exit, so no token plumbing is needed.

 > **Migration note (1.5.0):** the previous 79 MCP tools (`send_message`, `list_peers`, `remember`, …) are removed. Use the matching CLI verbs (`claudemesh send`, `claudemesh peers`, `claudemesh remember`). Run `claudemesh install` and the bundled skill teaches Claude the full surface.
