The app adopts anyone who messages you, because a first message from a
non-contact used to be invisible — no row, no name, just an unread badge over
"Nobody here yet". That fix stays: the message still arrives and is still
readable.
What it also did was decide something for the user. Somebody ends up in your
contacts because they wrote to you, and nothing on screen distinguished that
from a person you went and looked up.
So adoption now sends `auto: true` and leaves the acceptance to the person, and
the thread carries a banner naming what happened with the two useful actions in
it. Nothing is gated: delivery is unchanged, the difference is just visible.
`accepted` defaults to true wherever it is not answered — an older relay says
nothing, and reading silence as "stranger" would label every contact on every
older relay.
The copy states what happened rather than warning about it. Most first messages
are from someone you gave your address to, and opening with an alarm would be
wrong more often than right.
