fix: date repository cards from state events, not announcements

The explore list fell back to the announcement created_at because kind 30618 state events were only fetched per repository, on open. Sync them globally and refresh the list on published state events, so a card shows the last push without the user cloning first.

Open repository panels now also react to state events from relays and to locally published state events.

 ## Remediation options
 
-- **A. Global state sync (smallest change).**
-  Add `sync_bootstrap(Filter::new().kind(Kind::RepoState))` alongside the announcement
-  sync in `RepoListStore::subscribe_remote`. Kind `30618` is addressable, so relays
-  keep one event per repository — volume comparable to announcements. Caveat: coverage
-  depends on whether state events reach the bootstrap relays; if a grasp server is the
-  only holder, those repositories remain unseen.
+- **A. Global state sync (smallest change). — implemented.**

+- **B. Targeted fetch for the user's own repositories. — not implemented.**
   In `sync_inbox` (`crates/signed_state/src/backend.rs` L1126-1152), where the user's
   own repositories' relays are already connected, also sync `filters::state(addr)` per
   own repository. This directly addresses "my repositories updated elsewhere" at low
   cost. Note the existing race: `sync_inbox` reads the announcement list right after
   login, which may not be loaded yet.
 
-- **C. Reactivity fixes.**
-  Include `Kind::RepoState` in the `Published` refresh conditions, and in
-  `RepoStore::subscribe_backend` either match kind plus author, or extend `Update` to
