// Package chat implements messaging primitives. sanitize.go is the
// server-side rich-text whitelist sanitizer (§2.2): allowed tags are
// b i u s a code pre ul ol li br p blockquote; only <a> keeps an attribute
// (href, http/https/mailto only). Everything else is escaped as text.
// Implemented with a small hand-written tokenizer — no parser dependency.
