Scott Reimers 8b042f6598 fix: comment retention taxonomy — TTL by (post policy x signing class)
Retention was keyed on comment type, so public and post-key-signed comments
carried a randomized 30-365d expiry inside their signed digest. Under the
ruling neither should ever expire; only the private, non-post-key-signed
(open-slot/greeting) channel gets an automatic TTL, since that is the
throwaway-identity retirement mechanism.

New crates/core/src/comment_ttl.rs is the single authority: CommentClass
(Public / PostKeySigned / OpenSlot / Unverifiable) x CommentTtlRule
(Never | Window | UnknownParent), with draw_expiry (writer) and ttl_ok
(holder). expires_at_ms == 0 is the never-expires sentinel, honored by the
sweep, the ingest gate, and the store_comment upsert.

- Post.comment_ttl: Option<CommentTtlPolicy> — a GENERIC per-post policy, so
  an author-set TTL is a future config surface, not a redesign. Registry posts
  declare a flat 30d policy that binds EVERY comment on them (registrations,
  duplicate reports, anything else), replacing the registration-only rule.
- OpenSlotDecl.max_comments: author-declarable cap on private PK-unsigned
  comments, enforced holder-side (clamped to the holder default), replacing
  the hardcoded per-bio greeting cap. Refusal remains "declare no slot".
  Node::set_greetings_max + `greetings-max` CLI command to write it.
- Holder enforcement rejects TTLs contradicting the parent's policy in both
  directions; a comment naming a different post than its envelope is rejected.
- UnknownParent rule: bounded TTLs accepted from unheld parents (self-heal),
  never-expires refused — permanence is not granted on unseen evidence.

Also fixed while here: five Post-reconstructing queries silently dropped
comment_ttl AND the pre-existing fof_gating (shipped in v0.8.0-alpha), so any
gated or policy-carrying post failed BLAKE3 verification on sync/export and
was discarded with no diagnostic. All hydration now goes through one
POST_COLUMNS/post_from_row path; export/import round-trips the policy.

Registry frozen bytes regenerated for the policy field; REGISTRY_POST_ID is
now 10a1be3383efb2977607fe45c4a7b3f1b5e626e81d0ac1af9c0f3d7eb9864d32.
design.html section 21 rewritten to the corrected taxonomy.

250 core tests (was 228); a3 integration 12/12 (new step 6 asserts registry
comments hold exactly 30d while greetings randomize); c_topology 33/33.
