44324c902b docs: plan several profiles on a device, starting from what a profile is
The switch already exists as a state transition -- switchToWallet,
resetToSelector, a null identity sent to startup with popUpTo(0), every
collector a child of collectLatest -- and is reachable from nowhere: Landing
shows only when the device holds no identity, so a second can never be
added, and the profile tab's "change account" is a pending route. This plan
builds the two entrances and fixes what the transition gets wrong.

Before either, it changes one rule the two sign-in plans share. A seed's
nostr key is not written to the credentials file; it is derived from the
words at listing and from the running node at activation, and the writers
keep one key out of two files. That puts the wallet where the profile should
be: the list is a merge of two files with opposite ideas of what a row is,
and the node has to run for a profile to know its own key. Phase 1 makes a
profile a credential and a seed a wallet attached to one -- the credential
written when the seed is, repaired into the file for every seed already on
the device, merge inverted to list credentials and attach seeds by pubkey,
the identity's key read from the credential with the node's as a
cross-check, and a second refusal on forget for a key a seed derives. The
node still starts for a profile with a wallet attached, for the channel
watcher rather than for the key; making it lazy is now one branch and is
named as its own decision.

The other decision is that a switch is a restart of the signed-in graph,
not a swap under it: every route carries the key it was pushed for. That
settles the switcher as a pushed screen behind one tap, the previous node
stopped, the last-used profile as the one that opens on launch, and a
profile added from inside switched to.

Nine phases: the credential; the switch, with the relay observer that never
cancelled its predecessor and the node that kept running; the startup
precedence, which put "show me the list" above "open this one" and never
saved a default; the switcher, showing the nostr profile rather than
"Default name" and labelling a row with a wallet attached; the add rows,
where a profile created from inside is a bare key and not a second wallet,
and "end this" -- which wipes every profile's database -- goes; an owner on
the two fetch queues and an inbox sweep on activation, because a gift wrap
fetched under the other profile's key is stored and never opened again; the
exits; a round trip; rollout, with the one downgrade that lists a seed's
profile twice.
