- Server-to-server communication via WebSocket at /v1/federation/ws
- Auth as first WS frame (shared secret), presence + forwards over same connection
- Auto-reconnect every 3s on disconnect, instant presence push on connect
- Replaces HTTP REST polling (no more 5s intervals, lower latency)
- Removed dead HMAC helpers (auth is now direct secret comparison over WS)
- Simplified ARCHITECTURE.md mermaid diagrams for Gitea rendering
