Agora ships Phase 7-8 — notifications + Instagram-style stories

Per-actor notification inbox, story tray, highlights, close-friends visibility, and polls land in Agora.

Two big additions to Agora this week:

Phase 7 — Notifications. Every community now gets a per-actor inbox. Producers fire automatically when someone follows, reacts, comments, or replies; the wire shape covers follow, reaction, comment_on_post, reply_to_comment, and reserved mention. Read state is per-actor, with mark-single, mark-all, and unread-count endpoints.

Phase 8 — Stories. Stories ride the same post primitive with a new kind=story and an optional expires_at. Plus: story tray (per-author row of latest stories with unviewed badges), highlights (pinned stories that survive expiry), close-friends visibility, view tracking with viewer lists, and polls (vote, results, vote-changes upserted in place).

The Agora area in the console also gains a full create / edit / delete UI for communities, plus reversal actions (unhide / restore) on the moderation queue.
