Crews: proximity discovery, activity/rep signals, treasury, hiring pipeline, crew-hosted events + reverse links; add Contacts page

Crews page
- "Near me" geolocation toggle with haversine distance sort + distance chips
- Crew count + cities social-proof stat header
- Deterministic per-crew vibe-colour accents (no more wall of teal)
- Activity pulse ("🔥 active this week") + OG/Verified/Established rep badges
- Rich empty state ("Claim your local scene") instead of dead "No crews yet"

Crew synergies
- Crew treasury: transparent, non-custodial NIP-75 zap goal (kind 9041) with
  live progress bar tallied from zap receipts; funds settle to founder's own
  Lightning wallet — no shared wallet or new wallet settings needed
- Crew-hosted events: host a jam/comp as the crew (event a-tag → crew coord),
  "Hosted by [crew]" on event pages, Crew Events list on the crew page
- Crew ↔ Lab hiring pipeline: "Open Call / looking-for" flags (filmer, editor,
  coach, builder, members) surfaced on the crew page
- Request to join: encrypted NIP-17 DM to founder + admins (no founder-push
  bottleneck, no public join event)
- Reverse links: "Crews that skate here" on spot pages

Contacts (0xchat-style + Armada-style privacy)
- New /contacts page with Crew-mates / Follows / Recent DMs / Saved tabs
- Per-contact quick actions: message, zap, view profile, star
- Private encrypted contacts list (NIP-51 kind 30000, NIP-44 encrypted to self)
- Added to burger menu + desktop More menu (gated to logged-in users)

Docs: NIP.md updated with crew treasury, crew-hosted events, looking-for tags,
and the private encrypted contacts list.

+### Crew-Hosted Events
+
+A crew can host calendar events (jams, comps, meetups). A crew-hosted event is an
+ordinary NIP-52 time-based calendar event (kind `31923`, `t: skateboarding`) that
+carries an `a` tag pointing back at the crew coordinate, plus a readable
+`crew-name` tag:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 31923,
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "bcn-night-jam-2025"],
+    ["title", "BCN Night Jam"],
+    ["start", "1730000000"],
+    ["t", "skateboarding"],
+    ["a", "35006:<founder>:<crewDtag>"],
+    ["crew-name", "Barcelona Night Crew"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Clients query a crew's events with `{ kinds: [31923], "#a": ["35006:<founder>:<crewDtag>"] }`
+and display "Hosted by [crew]" on the event, closing the Crews ↔ Events ↔ Zaps loop.
+
+### Crew Treasury (NIP-75 Zap Goal)
+
+A crew may run a transparent, **non-custodial** funding goal for a shared cause
+(fixing a DIY spot, a crew trip, a comp prize pot). The founder publishes a
+[NIP-75](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/75.md) Zap Goal
+(kind `9041`) with an `amount` (millisats target) and links it from the crew via
+a `["goal", "<goalEventId>"]` tag.
+
+Progress is tallied client-side from zap receipts (kind `9735`) that reference
+the goal event id. Contributions are ordinary zaps that settle to the goal
+author's (founder's) own Lightning address — **SkateSpots never custodies
+funds**; it only reads the public tally. No shared wallet or new wallet settings
+are required; the payment rail is the founder's existing Lightning address /
+CLINK noffer, and contributors pay with their in-app wallet (WebLN / NWC / Cashu).

@@ -2067,3 +2108,37 @@ The `status` tag MUST hold one of the following values:
 - Spots with a winning status of `gone` are **hidden from map markers** (but
   still shown dimmed, with a badge, in card lists) so the map isn't cluttered by
   demolished spots while preserving the record.
+
+## Private Contacts (kind 30000, encrypted)
+
+To let a user maintain a personal "who I skate with" address book **without
+leaking their social graph publicly** (unlike a kind-3 follow list), SkateSpots
+stores a private, encrypted contacts list as a NIP-51 Follow Set (kind `30000`)
+with a fixed `d` identifier `skatespots-contacts`.
+
+The contact pubkeys are NIP-44 encrypted to the user's **own** key and kept in
+the event `content` — only the user can read them. This mirrors the "encrypted
+private list" approach and keeps the scene network self-sovereign and private.
+
+### Event Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30000,
+  "content": "<NIP-44 encrypted JSON array of p-tag pairs>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "skatespots-contacts"],
+    ["title", "My Skate Contacts"],
+    ["description", "Private, encrypted list of people in my scene."]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Client behavior
+
+- The list is decrypted with the logged-in user's NIP-44 signer. Clients that
+  cannot decrypt (different key) fall back to any public p tags present.
+- The Contacts page also surfaces crew-mates (members of crews the user belongs
+  to), follows (kind 3), and recent DMs (NIP-17 conversations) as live tabs; any
+  of those can be starred into the private list.
+- The encrypted list is never merged into the public kind-3 follow list.
