User guide: devices, safety numbers, and privacy #644
Description
Branch: Open your PR against dev. PRs targeting main are closed automatically.
Description:
Write docs/user-guide/devices-and-privacy.md: a plain-language explanation of what end-to-end encryption in Clicked protects and what it does not, how to link and revoke devices, how to verify a contact's safety number, and what to do when a "security code changed" notice appears.
Acceptance criteria:
- A "what Clicked can and cannot see" section consistent with
docs/threat-model.md, but written for non-technical readers — including the metadata the server does see - Explains why a newly linked device cannot read older group history
- States clearly that asking the AI assistant sends the question outside end-to-end encryption, consistent with Backend assertions for Signal invariants #363
- Documents what to do after losing a device
