Chat: README drops CHAT_AUTHORITY (retired in Live, C-01) (#71)

OP OpenVibers committed 11 Oct 2026 · e9d5bc5744 · 1 file, +3 −3

Live#94 retired `CHAT_AUTHORITY` (compatibility register C-01): Live delivers to Chat and reads from it with no switch, and the variable is gone from production's `live.env`. The README's two mentions of Live running "with `CHAT_AUTHORITY=chat`" now say Live runs no chat of its own and has no chat switch.

This is a documentation-only change.
