Roadmap item #3. An RFC's main view now carries a discussion surface
distinct from PR comments and from branch chat. The substrate is the
existing threads/thread_messages tables — rows with branch_name IS NULL
scope to the RFC's main view; the schema already permitted that shape,
v0.5.0 is the first build to write it. Five new endpoints under
/api/rfcs/<slug>/discussion/..., a new RFCDiscussionPanel right-column
component used when branchParam === main, SPEC §10.10 settling
discussion-vs-contribution, and §17 listing the new routes. Notification
routing reuses the existing chat_message_in_participated_thread /
chat_reply_to_my_message event kinds with branch_name=null on the
fan-out row; a distinct event_kind is a §19.2 candidate. Anonymous
viewers can read; writes require contributor — v0.6.0's item #4 will
harden adjacent gates. No schema migration; minor bump, no operator
action required beyond rebuild and restart.
