v0.3.3: Rate limiting, IPv6 fix, schema versioning, video preload, engagement propagation

Security & stability:
- Incoming auth-fail rate limiting per source IP (3 attempts, then exponential backoff)
- Schema versioning via PRAGMA user_version with migration framework

Networking:
- IPv6 http_addr fix: advertise actual public IPv6 instead of 0.0.0.0
- N2/N3 TTL reduced from 7 days to 5 hours
- Full N1/N2 state re-broadcast every 4 hours
- Bootstrap isolation recovery: 24h check with sticky N1 advertising
- Bidirectional engagement propagation (upstream + downstream)
- Auto downstream registration on pull sync and push notification
- post_upstream table for CDN tree traversal

Media & UI:
- Video preload="auto" for share links and in-app blob URLs
- Following: Online/Offline split with last-seen timestamps
- DMs filtered from My Posts tab
- Image lightbox, audio player, file attachments with download prompt
- Share link unroutable address filtering

+                    <li><strong>Connection rate limiting</strong> &mdash; Incoming connections that fail authentication are rate-limited per source IP (3 attempts, then exponential backoff up to ~4 minutes). Prevents CPU exhaustion from rogue or stale nodes spamming auth failures.</li>
+                    <li><strong>Schema versioning</strong> &mdash; Database tracks schema version via <code>PRAGMA user_version</code>. Future upgrades can run data migrations automatically. Databases too old to migrate are reset cleanly.</li>
+                    <li><strong>N2/N3 freshness</strong> &mdash; TTL reduced from 7 days to 5 hours. Full N1/N2 state re-broadcast every 4 hours catches missed diffs.</li>
+                    <li><strong>Bootstrap isolation recovery</strong> &mdash; 24 hours after startup, nodes verify the bootstrap anchor is within N1/N2/N3 reach. If absent, they reconnect and request referrals. Bootstrap is added to sticky N1 for 24 hours so mesh peers discover it via diffs.</li>

                     <li><strong>Auto downstream registration</strong> &mdash; Nodes that receive a post via pull sync or push notification automatically register as downstream peers. This ensures engagement diffs reach all holders without manual registration.</li>
                     <li><strong>Upstream tracking</strong> &mdash; New <code>post_upstream</code> table records which peer each post was received from, enabling engagement to flow back toward the author hop-by-hop through the CDN tree.</li>
