**A push payload does not say which server sent it**, which is fine for one and breaks three things
for several — the deep link resolves a session id against the wrong server, threading can collapse
two servers' chats into one banner, and `mv` (a per-server catalogue hash) makes the app resync
forever, always against whichever server pushed last. Blocks the multi-server sign-on work.
**Settle the server identifier with that design rather than inventing one here.**
See `docs/multi-server-push.md`.
