The directory renders its own pages from the store: the most subscribed, categories, A to Z,
search, and a page per feed with its address and a Copy button. No token, nothing that writes; /v1
keeps its token check. The publisher's HTML is shown as text, item links only when http(s), with
a strict Content-Security-Policy; covers load from their publishers with no referrer.

A new crate and service, crates/directory, live at ipx-dir.sdf1.net. ipx
servers send the public feeds their people subscribe to (POST /v1/snapshot,
replacing what that token sent before); the directory fetches each feed's
title, artwork, category, description and latest twenty items every six
hours with ipx-feed, and lists them A to Z and by subscribers summed over
every server. It holds metadata only, never a file or a file's address.
Tokens are in its config file as SHA-256 hashes, each ro, rw or rwa, and
the file is read again within a minute of a change, so adding and revoking
one is an edit and nothing else; a revoked token takes its server's counts.
At first they were to come from environment variables, which would have
meant recreating the container to add one. A file that does not load keeps
the tokens as they were.
Every address sent is checked with ipx_feed::url_looks_private, the check
ipx makes before sending, so one server's miss does not publish a paid feed
to every other; an rwa token can remove and block what both miss.
Deployed: ipx-directory in the ipx Arcane project, database ipx_directory
(its own login) on the databases project's Postgres, which db-backup
already covers, and a tunnel route with no Access in front. The store's
tests run on Postgres as well as SQLite when IPX_TEST_DATABASE_URL is set.
