AI volume peaks again, Nostr ships two rx-nostr betas

AI again tops the count, eight releases, but the pattern repeats from before: agent tooling and inference plumbing, no new models. The more notable thread sits in Nostr, where rx-nostr ships two separate beta releases the same day, a redesigned v4 API and a relay-interface rename, alongside Amethyst and Mostrix point bumps. Privacy and Self-hosting round out the day with routine patches, including one filesystem access fix in SilverBullet. Bitcoin stays thin at two releases, both maintenance-branch work. Nothing here forces attention on its own; the signal is cadence across beats rather than any single disclosure.
