chore: build the native library from source (flake, CI, docs) 
liblogosdelivery is no longer consumed as a prebuilt Nix package; waku-bindings
compiles it from the Nim sources in its vendor submodule. The devShell drops the
prebuilt package and LOGOS_DELIVERY_LIB_DIR and instead supplies that build's
toolchain. CI checks out submodules recursively and caches the (slow, cold) Nim
build on the submodule commit; the toolchain-only jobs exclude every crate that
reaches the native lib, and format is scoped to workspace members so it never
rewrites the vendored generated sources.

Docs corrected along the way: the default transport is `file`, not
logos-delivery, and chat-cli no longer carries its own build.rs or a
logos_delivery transport module.

libchat

Supporting library for Logos-chat

Example app

bin/chat-cli is an end-to-end encrypted CLI chat app built on this library. With --transport logos-delivery it rides logos-delivery (Waku-based), so two users anywhere in the world can chat by sharing an intro bundle. A local file transport is bundled in and is the default; pick at runtime with --transport <logos-delivery|file>.

# Fetch the logos-delivery bindings and their Nim sources
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Build (the first build compiles the Nim tree and is slow)
nix develop -c cargo build --release -p chat-cli
# Run
./target/release/chat-cli --name alice --transport logos-delivery

bin/channel-chat is a smaller example: a room chat built directly on logos-delivery's reliable channels API, with no encryption or libchat stack in the way.

See bin/chat-cli/README.md for full build, run, and test instructions.

logos-delivery

The native node is reached through waku-bindings, pinned as a submodule. Its build script compiles liblogosdelivery from the Nim sources in its own vendor/ submodule, so a recursive checkout and the nix develop toolchain are what a build needs — there is no prebuilt library to point at.
