//! Orchestration that ties the Community send/delete primitives to persistence,
//! with multi-account safety. This is the layer Tauri commands are thin wrappers
//! over: it publishes a message AND retains its ephemeral key (so the sender can
//! later delete it), and deletes by loading that retained key back.
//!
//! Every method is `std::sync::Arc<crate::db::Session>`-gated: a `swap_session` can happen at any await
//! point, and persisting an ephemeral secret (or reading one) must never cross into
//! the wrong account's DB.
