veg 6799a57405 feat: party knock asks an invite-only party's host for an invite
party list already shows invite-only parties; knock closes the loop.
The knocker can't run any tmux command against the server, so the
channel is write(1), the same one invite uses toward guests, except
here delivery failure is surfaced: the ping is the whole feature.

# Roadmap
Direction, not promises. Two rules govern everything below (README
§Security has the long form):
- **Accidents, not adversaries:** new checks earn their place by
preventing a plausible mistake (stale state, a typo, a race), not by
closing a hypothetical attack from a friend.
- **Social, not mechanical:** new features earn their place by
encouraging people to work together in a terminal, not by adding
machinery.
## Next: small, high value
- **`party log`:** per-party transcript via `tmux pipe-pane` into the
per-party dir (group-readable so every attendee can grab a copy);
`party log --stop` ends it. "What did we do last night?" for
collectives, and the audit trail human+AI co-work needs.
- **`party clean`:** remove the caller's own crash leftovers (dirs
they own whose socket is dead), turning the manual `rm -rf` recovery
in host's error message into a verb.
## Later
- **Matrix:** live validation on NetBSD and DragonFly; one
interactive attach/role/switch pass per release (automated coverage
is all non-interactive).
## Resist: by design, not by neglect
- **No network transport:** same-host is the perimeter; beyond it lies
reinventing ssh.
- **No per-pane ACLs:** tmux can't enforce them; faking it with hooks
would be a leaky abstraction. Document the limitation instead.
- **No config files, no plugin system, no ACL syscalls:** one POSIX
file that runs on a 30-year spread of UNIXes is the identity; the
2026-04 simplification that removed per-OS ACL dispatch is not to be
unwound.
- **Watch the file size:** heavy why-comments are a feature; feature
growth that pushes the single file far past its current size is not.
