On hosted relays `buzz dms list` reliably returns [] even when DM
conversations exist, so DMs leaked in via `channels list` (as entries
named "DM" with an empty description) and were seeded chat_type="group".
That put them behind the channel mention gate: "@Chip /whoami" worked
but an un-mentioned DM was silently dropped.
Classify from the Nostr tags of real traffic instead: a message another
user sends in a DM carries a structural ["p", <own pubkey>] tag even
when the text never mentions the agent, while in a real channel a
p-tag-to-self only ever accompanies a visible @mention (typed mention
or reply). A group conversation therefore latches to chat_type="dm" on
the first kind-9 event that is p-tagged to self WITHOUT a visible
mention in the content — guarded by channels-list metadata so a real
community channel (real name / non-empty description) is never
reclassified by a reply or mention that p-tags the agent.
- latch during history seeding too, so a leaked DM bypasses the
mention gate from the very first poll after connect
- keep `dms list` as a best-effort source, and scan `channels list`
as a fallback so DM conversations opened mid-run still get watched
- strip a leading @mention in DMs as well, so "@Chip /whoami" keeps
firing as a slash command after the conversation reclassifies
