self_destruct.rs

1//! Self-Destruct Timer — per-chat NIP-40 message expiry ("disappearing
2//! messages"). The per-chat lifespan is a DURATION stored in the account
3//! settings KV; each outgoing DM in that chat is stamped with an absolute
4//! NIP-40 expiry so relays drop the gift-wrap and every compliant client
5//! purges its local copy on schedule. Purge is local-only per client — the
6//! expiry tag travels with the message, so no delete broadcast is needed.
