Add Nostr-native newsletter: subscribe, mailbox & notifications

Turn the static newsletter into a live, Nostr-native marketing channel that
npubs can subscribe to and receive in-app.

Publishing (admins):
- Newsletter issues are published as NIP-23 long-form articles (kind 30023)
  tagged `skatespotsnews`, on the community relay.
- NewsletterComposer: admin-only dialog to write + publish an issue (title,
  slug, summary, cover image, Markdown body).

Subscribing (any npub):
- useNewsletterSubscription: per-user opt-in stored as a NIP-78 (kind 30078)
  marker, so it syncs across every device the user logs into.
- NewsletterSubscribeButton on the /newsletter page and issue reader.

Mailbox / notifications:
- New "News" tab in the NotificationBell showing all issues, with an unread
  badge for subscribers (tracked via a per-account last-read timestamp).
  Latest unread drop also surfaces in the "All" tab.
- Opening the bell or the /newsletter page clears the News badge.

Reading:
- useNewsletterIssues: queries admin-authored issues (author-scoped + tag +
  admin re-validation as the trust boundary against spam).
- LiveIssuesSection on /newsletter shows issue cards linking to a reader.
- NewsletterIssueView: naddr reader (wired into NIP19Page for kind 30023) with
  a small safe Markdown renderer, zap + subscribe CTAs.

Docs: NIP.md documents the 30023 issue schema, the 30078 subscription marker,
and the admin trust boundary.

+## Newsletter (kind 30023) + Subscription (kind 30078)
+
+SkateSpots publishes a community newsletter as standard **NIP-23 long-form
+articles (kind 30023)**, so issues are readable in any Nostr long-form client
+(Habla, Highlighter, etc.) and by the app's in-app mailbox.
+
+### Trust boundary
+
+An issue is only surfaced in the app (mailbox / notification bell) if it is:
+
+1. **Kind 30023**, and
+2. authored by a **SkateSpots admin pubkey** (see `src/lib/admins.ts`), and
+3. tagged `["t", "skatespotsnews"]`.
+
+This prevents anyone from spamming the community newsletter feed.
+
+### Issue format
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30023,
+  "content": "<Markdown body of the issue>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "issue-6"],
+    ["title", "SkateSpots Drop #006"],
+    ["summary", "One-line teaser of the issue"],
+    ["image", "<cover image url>"],
+    ["published_at", "<unix seconds>"],
+    ["t", "skatespotsnews"],
+    ["t", "skatespots"],
+    ["t", "newsletter"],
+    ["alt", "SkateSpots newsletter issue"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Subscription marker (kind 30078)
+
+A reader opts in to the in-app newsletter mailbox by publishing a per-user
+**NIP-78 application-specific data** event (kind 30078, addressable):
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30078,
+  "content": "",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "skatespots:newsletter:subscription"],
+    ["subscribed", "true"],
+    ["alt", "SkateSpots newsletter subscription"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `subscribed` is `"true"` while subscribed and `"false"` after unsubscribing
+  (the event is replaced, not deleted, so state syncs across devices).
+- It carries nothing sensitive (just a boolean), so it is published in
+  plaintext, which also lets the community tally an honest subscriber count.
+- Subscription is opt-in for notifications only: everyone can read issues on
+  the `/newsletter` page regardless. Subscribing routes new issues into the
+  notification bell's "News" tab and unread badge.
