Send no account publish over a relay's known limit (#2334) - #3279
MDK checks group events and Welcomes against each relay's known size limit
before sending, but every other event an account publishes skips that check:
profiles, follow and relay lists, KeyPackages and the rest. Such an event over a
relay's limit is still sent there, and the relay refuses it or drops the
connection, which counts as a possible exposure and sends the event again.
Fix
The relay-limit refusal moves into one function that the adapter's publish and
a new publisher wrapper share. Every account publisher MDK hands out now goes
through that wrapper, so these events also skip relays they are over the limit
of. They still go to the relays they fit, and one that fits none reaches no
relay; profile, follow-list and relay-list publishes then fail as EventTooLarge. A relay with no known limit is sent to as before.
Verification

Part of #2334 (PR A of the plan in the issue comment). Push-trigger gift wraps
use the anonymous publisher and stay unchecked: at most 19 padded tokens, about
40 KB, below the 64 KiB NIP-11 lookup threshold and any configured limit.
KeyPackage, block-list, sticker and backup-pointer publishes keep mapping a
size refusal to their own errors, as they did for a relay's refusal before.
Relay event-size limits now apply to account-signed publications as well as group events and Welcomes. Publications are routed only to relays whose known limits can accommodate them.
Publications can still succeed through eligible relays when other relays have limits that are too small. If no relay can accommodate an event, it is sent to none; calls that return relay errors report an event-too-large error.
Documentation
Updated deployment guidance to clarify which event types are subject to relay size limits and how oversized publications are handled.
Only the account adapter checked known relay limits, so everything else an
account signs and publishes went to every relay unchecked: profiles, follow
and relay lists, KeyPackages and their deletions, the block list, stickers
and the backup pointer. A follow list of about 900 follows passes 64 KiB, and
a relay whose advertised frame limit it exceeds closes the socket, which reads
as a possible exposure and is resent three times.
Every account publisher MarmotApp builds now wraps its client in
KnownLimitPublishClient, which refuses each relay the event is over by the
rule the adapter uses: one function, refuse_over_known_limits, now shared by
both. A refused relay joins the publish's result as a relay that refused the
event and counts against its required acknowledgements; an event every relay
refuses is sent nowhere and reaches hosts as EventTooLarge { Other }. A
differential test pins the two paths to the same refusals.

Account publishers now check known relay event limits through a shared publish-client wrapper. The relay-plane adapter uses the same refusal logic. Tests cover account publishing and profile routing. Documentation describes limits for account-signed events as well as group events and Welcomes.
KnownLimitPublishClient filters endpoints when a known limit is smaller than the event size. It aggregates refusals with publish outcomes and delegates non-publish operations. The adapter uses the shared refusal helpers.
Adapter reuse and transport validation crates/transport-nostr/src/lib.rs, crates/transport-nostr/src/tests.rs, crates/transport-nostr/AGENTS.md
Tests cover account-publish refusals, batch handling, and matching results for account-client and adapter Welcome publishing.
App account clients apply limit checks before the unlink gate. Profile tests verify failure when no relay fits and routing to an unrestricted relay when available. App and binding documentation describes the expanded event scope and failure behavior; API reference source links are updated.

- Around line 394-395: Update the relay message-limit claim in the README and
deployment API comments to apply only to publishers that check known NIP-11
limits. Explicitly document that push-trigger gift wraps use the anonymous
publisher, which does not perform that check, so oversized triggers may reach a
relay; preserve the existing EventTooLarge behavior claim for checked
publishers.
Review comments at @crates/marmot-uniffi/src/deployment.rs:
- Line 53: Qualify the deployment documentation for `set_user_blocked` to state
that if every relay refuses a block-list event for size, it returns
`BlockListUnavailable`, and that retrying an uncertain publication can return
`BlockPublicationUncertain`; make the same clarification in the README and C
deployment comment.

Push-trigger gift wraps use the anonymous publisher and are not checked,
and some account publishes map a size refusal to their own errors. The
host docs now say MDK sends no group event, Welcome or account-signed
event over a known limit, and that a call returning relay errors fails
as EventTooLarge.

Clarify the unchecked push-trigger exception.
“Every other event an account publishes” includes push-trigger gift wraps, but those use the anonymous publisher without the known-limit check. A relay can therefore receive and reject an oversized trigger. Limit this claim to account-signed events and state the exception. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Qualify relay-reported size refusals.
If one relay refuses for size and another fails for a different reason, the call does not classify the failure as EventTooLarge. EventSizeClass::from_rejected_targets in crates/traits/src/transport_adapter.rs requires a size refusal from every target. State that condition here.
