FSD Autopilot mode (Outbox model) 🚗🤖

Local relay / nostrdb migration #2041

User Story

As a nostr newbie, and prospective Damus user who wants to Damus to be ready to use upon installation, I want Damus to handle relay selection & configuration automagically, so I don't have to worry about the complexities of finding & choosing relays, and so that Damus "just works".

Acceptance Criteria

1. For new installs of Damus relays are automagically selected, and configured
2. Damus users have option to switch from automatic relay config to manual configuration, and vice versa
3. Upon rollout of Autopilot feature, Damus will not delete current Damus user's relay configuration

Mock setting:

[alltheseas]

On new Damus profile creation there are 4 initial relays.

Does auto-pilot relay do more than seed 4 relays after profile creation?

E.g. relays updated as needed

This is basically outbox

I just realized we have no outbox model tickets so I will co-op this one

Maybe autopilot mode would simply turn on the outbox model, it could be default.

Maybe boostrap related to the Daniel's onboarding - copy relay list from friend #1696

@danieldaquino whats your best understanding of local db/nostrdb migration remaining effort post Will showing you the nostrdb matrix?

On relays

This whole time I thought that was automatically managed and had like 15 from before 🫠😂

I haven’t added any relays. I’m just using the default ones. I haven’t seen the spam replies after the first day.

See NIP-66 relay discovery and liveness monitoring stated benefits. Benefits seem potentially useful for damus devs & end users relating to autopilot (outbox+):

1. performance benchmarking - i.e. latency (e.g. 50 ms), uptime (great, good, poor, offline)
2. outbox optimization via network topology
