release(v4.6.0): broadcast channels — Signal sender-keys for one-to-many fan-out

Lands the broadcast-channel primitive Prism asked for in Docs/shade-feature-request-sender-keys.md. The crypto in @shade/core/sender-keys.ts was already in place; this release wires it up as a first-class app-facing API, adds the persistence schema across all six storage backends (memory, sqlite, indexeddb + encrypted variants), introduces wire type 0x21 in @shade/proto, and ships Prism's three acceptance tests verbatim.

+## [4.6.0] — 2026-05-07 — Broadcast channels (Signal sender-keys for one-to-many fan-out)
+
+Prism's PC desktop is the *sender* in a one-to-many fan-out — one PTY
+output frame, N paired-device deliveries — and bilateral `for (peer of
+peers) shade.send(peer, frame)` works for N ≤ 5 but starts hurting once
+the paired fleet grows (3 laptops + phone + tablet + watch = N = 7) and
+once mobile cellular is in the loop. The crypto pattern that solves it
+is Signal's **sender-key**: the sender holds a per-channel symmetric
+chain key shared with all members, encrypts each message *once* with
+it, and the relay (or the SDK fan-out loop) ships the same ciphertext
+to every recipient.
+
+This release lands sender-key broadcast as a scoped "broadcast channel"
+primitive in `@shade/sdk`, with the persistence + wire format + receiver-
+side `meta.kind === 'broadcast'` plumbing wired through every backend.
+The crypto in `@shade/core/sender-keys.ts` was already in place;
+v4.6 turns it into a first-class app-facing API.
+
+### Added
+
+#### `@shade/sdk`
+- `shade.createBroadcastChannel({ label? })` → `BroadcastChannel` —
+  opaque, persisted channel id stable across `shutdown()` / re-open.
+  Owner role: `sender` (only the channel creator can broadcast).
+- `BroadcastChannel.addMember(peerAddress)` — distributes the current
+  sender-key to a paired peer over the existing bilateral ratchet.
+  Returns the wrapped envelope the app delivers; the SDK does the
+  framing inline (no new wire-format changes visible to apps —
+  acceptance criterion (3)).
+- `BroadcastChannel.removeMember(peerAddress)` — rotates the chain
+  (fresh `chainKey` + new Ed25519 signing keypair, `generation++`),
+  destroys the old key material, and returns one envelope per surviving
+  member with the new sender-key. Stale broadcasts at lower generations
+  are silently dropped on receive.
+- `BroadcastChannel.broadcast(plaintext)` — single AES-256-GCM encrypt
+  with the current chain message key + Ed25519 signature; the SAME
+  envelope is delivered to every member. Returns
+  `{ envelope: Uint8Array, members: readonly string[] }` so the app's
+  transport handles the per-peer fan-out.
+- `BroadcastChannel.members()` — snapshot of currently-active members
+  (excludes revoked).
+- `shade.getBroadcastChannel(channelId)` / `shade.listBroadcastChannels()`
+  for reconciling app-level pairing state with persisted channel state.
+- `shade.acceptBroadcast(envelope)` — decrypt an inbound broadcast wire
+  envelope; dispatches to `onMessage` handlers with
+  `meta = { kind: 'broadcast', channelId, sender, generation, iteration }`.
+- `Shade.onMessage` handler signature gained an optional third arg
+  `meta?: MessageMeta` — back-compat: handlers that ignore it keep
+  working unchanged for direct messages.
+
+#### `@shade/proto`
+- `encodeBroadcast(BroadcastWire)` / `decodeBroadcast(bytes)` — wire
+  type `0x21`. Length-prefixed channelId + senderAddress, u32
+  generation/iteration, 12-byte AES-GCM nonce, 64-byte Ed25519
+  signature, length-prefixed ciphertext.
+- `inspectEnvelopeType` recognises `'broadcast'`.
+
+#### `@shade/core`
+- `BroadcastChannelRecord` — persisted channel state (chainKey,
+  iteration, signing keys, generation, role).
+- `BroadcastMemberRecord` — sender-side membership row with `joinedAt`
+  + nullable `removedAt`.
+- `StorageProvider` gained six optional methods:
+  `saveBroadcastChannel`, `getBroadcastChannel`, `listBroadcastChannels`,
+  `removeBroadcastChannel`, `saveBroadcastMember`, `getBroadcastMembers`,
+  `removeBroadcastMember`. Backends < 4.6 throw a clear error when an
+  app tries to call `createBroadcastChannel` against them.
+
+#### Storage backends
+- `MemoryStorage`, `SQLiteStorage`, `IndexedDBStorage` — plaintext
+  `broadcast_channels` + `broadcast_members` tables. IDB schema bumps
+  to v2 with an upgrade-path that creates the new stores idempotently.
+- `EncryptedSQLiteStorage`, `EncryptedIndexedDBStorage`,
+  `EncryptedPostgresStorage` — `broadcast_channels_enc` +
+  `broadcast_members_enc` schemas. The chain key, iteration, and
+  signing-key bundle live in a sealed `ciphertext` blob bound to
+  `(table='broadcast_channels', column='broadcast_channel_sensitive', pk=channelId)`
+  AAD; routing fields (channelId, ownerRole, ownerAddress, label,
+  generation, timestamps) stay plaintext for queries. New row-codec
+  helpers `sealBroadcastChannelSensitive` / `openBroadcastChannelSensitive`.
+  IDB schema bumps to v2 the same way.
+
+### Tests
+- `packages/shade-sdk/tests/broadcast.test.ts` — Prism's three
+  acceptance tests verbatim: (1) two-member receive with
+  `meta.kind === 'broadcast'`, (1*) revocation rotates + receiver A
+  drops while B keeps working, (2) persistence — channel id, members,
+  and chain advance survive `shutdown()` + re-open from the SQLite
+  path, (3) `listBroadcastChannels` surfaces both sender + receiver
+  records correctly.
+- `packages/shade-storage-encrypted/tests/encrypted-sqlite.test.ts` —
+  channel + member round-trip under sealed storage; receiver-side rows
+  correctly persist without `signingPrivateKey`.
+
+### Compatibility
+- Wire-protocol additive: existing peers ignore the `0x21` envelope
+  type. Apps not using broadcast channels see no behavior change.
+- Storage schemas additive: the new `broadcast_*` tables / object
+  stores are created on first open; migrations from a 4.5 database are
+  no-ops. IDB schema-version bump happens transparently in `upgrade`.
