Previously the bot seeded all existing feed items on startup WITHOUT posting, so a
freshly-created channel stayed empty and new subscribers saw nothing (only items
appearing after start were posted). Now on first run it posts the latest items
(max 5) to fill the channel — recent history then shows them to joiners — and sets
an rss_populated flag so restarts don't replay. Existing (empty) bots get filled
once on next start. Update rss_test.py.

Remove the /new command, the on-connect latest-items send, the _rss_send_latest
helper and the now-unused rss_items cache. The bot only watches the feed and
broadcasts new posts to its channel. Update welcome + UI copy to drop /new.

New rss bot type: on start it creates a broadcast channel (observer group with
recent history on) and polls a configured feed URL; new posts are broadcast to
the channel. Subscribers join the channel link (seen on the bot's profile);
direct contacts get a welcome + the latest items and can send /new for the
latest. Stdlib-only feed parsing (urllib + ElementTree), seeds existing items on
startup so it doesn't replay the whole feed. Config: feed_url, poll_seconds.
Adds rss_test.py (mock feed) — passes.

New 'llm' bot type that takes a startup context (system prompt) and replies to
each message via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint — works with a local Ollama
(ollama serve, http://localhost:11434/v1), OpenAI, Grok, etc. Generalize the
support LLM handler into _handle_llm_message (shared by support + llm) with a
per-bot default prompt. Create form reuses the LLM fields (URL/key/model/context)
for both support and llm. Adds llm_test.py (mock OpenAI backend) — passes.

Business accounts are cli profiles with businessAddress=True, so each connecting
customer gets their own group chat (handled via the existing chat UI) with an
optional welcome auto-reply. New BUSINESS_TYPES, a /business page + sidebar entry,
and a business variant of the create form. profile/chat pages route via a
_category helper. Adds business_test.py (customer connects -> lands in a business
group, not a direct contact) — passes.

Relay publishers' text/links to all contacts via the native /feed command
(reports 'Forwarded to N contact(s), M errors'); reply to non-publishers with
the prohibited message and internally delete their message (CIDMInternal, as
upstream does). Filter content to text/links. Publishers accept 'Name' or
'ID:Name'; welcome/prohibited defaults list the publishers. Add publishers +
prohibited-reply fields to the create form. Adds broadcast_test.py (3 in-process
controllers: bot + publisher + subscriber) — passes.
