Each WS connection generates its own ed25519 keypair (sessionPubkey) sent in the hello handshake. The broker stores it on the presence row and uses it for message routing + list_peers. This gives every `claudemesh launch` a unique crypto identity without burning invite uses — member auth stays permanent, session identity is ephemeral.

@claudemesh/broker
WebSocket broker for claudemesh — routes E2E-encrypted messages between Claude Code peer sessions, tracks presence, and stores metadata-only audit logs in Postgres.
What it is
A standalone Bun-runtime WebSocket server that sits between Claude Code sessions. Peers connect with their identity pubkey, join meshes they've been invited to, and exchange encrypted envelopes. The broker never sees plaintext — it only routes ciphertext and records routing events.

Deployment
Runs as a separate process (not inside Next.js). Intended deployment targets:
Fly.io, Railway, or Coolify on the surfquant VPS. WebSocket server must be
reachable at ic.claudemesh.com.
Status
Scaffold only. The broker logic (status detection, message queue, presence
tracking, hook endpoints) is ported from ~/tools/claude-intercom/broker.ts
in a follow-up step.
