fix(accounts): publish community edits over pubsub unless the pkc client hosts the community

[tomcasaburi]

Problem

publishCommunityEdit edited a community locally (communitiesStore.editCommunity → community.edit()) whenever the account looked like its owner: an owner role in the stored community, an owner role in account.communities, or a stored signer matching the account signer. Owner roles are public, so an owner using a client that doesn't host the community (for example 5chan.app without RPC, for a board created in the 5chan desktop app) got a pkc-js RemoteCommunity/RpcRemoteCommunity, and its edit() threw Can't edit a remote community. The edit was never published as a CommunityEdit, which the hosting node accepts from owners (checkCommunityEditPublication).

Change

• The local path now runs only when the community is in pkc.communities. pkc-js makes the same local/remote decision: over RPC it checks that list, and in the browser it always returns a remote instance. So when the list doesn't include the address, a local edit can't succeed whatever the role or signer says. The role and signer fallbacks from b9705b6 are removed. Their unit test only simulated a stale list, and in the e2e flow it targeted, the created community has no owner role and its signer differs from the account's, so none of them fired there.
• Removed the remote-path assert can't edit address of a remote community. pkc-js 0.0.101 accepts address in a pubsub CommunityEdit from the owner and applies it with community.edit().
• README notes when edits are local and when they are published.

Tests

• Owner on a hosting pkc instance: edits locally, no CommunityEdit created.
• Owner on a pkc instance that doesn't host the community, with every former owner signal set and an edit() that throws like RemoteCommunity: publishes a CommunityEdit. Against the previous logic, this test fails with Can't edit a remote community.
• An address change for a remote community is published instead of asserting.
• vitest for the accounts/communities stores and the accounts/actions/communities hooks: 615 passed. yarn type-check, yarn lint (0 errors) and yarn build pass.

Downstream

5chan (codex/feature/board-creation-and-settings, src/views/board-settings/board-settings.tsx) disables Save for owners on non-hosting clients because of this bug. After upgrading to a release with this fix, it can lift that restriction.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Community settings edits are now applied locally when the connected client hosts the community; otherwise, they’re sent to the hosting node. Owners and admins can make remote edits, while only owners can change the community address or roles.
• Bug Fixes
  • Updated the release notes to include fixes for comment and reply behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Community edits now use the connected PKC’s hosted-community list to choose local editing or pubsub publication. The publication path permits address changes. Documentation describes the routing and permissions, and the changelog adds comment and reply fixes.

Changes

Community edit routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route edits by PKC hosting src/stores/accounts/accounts-actions.ts, src/stores/accounts/accounts-actions.test.ts, README.md, llms-full.txt	The local-edit path now depends on whether the connected PKC hosts the community. Tests cover hosted and non-hosted communities. Documentation describes local edits, remote publication, and hosting-node permissions.
Allow remote address edits src/stores/accounts/accounts-actions.ts, src/stores/accounts/accounts-actions.test.ts	The publication path no longer rejects address changes. A test checks the target community and changed address passed to createCommunityEdit.

Comment and reply changelog

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update changelog entries llms-full.txt, llms.txt	The version 0.1.47 changelog lists three comment and reply fixes. The llms.txt changelog description now summarizes comment retry and refresh changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes
