Joining, members, and useful materials now form one path

A person can join a Circle through a private invite or a request reviewed by the owner. An invite survives account sign-in, while reopening an already redeemed link does not create a second membership.

A join request survives a cold restart. The owner sees answers to entry questions and accepts or declines the person separately; rapid repeated taps lead to only one final membership state.

The owner can also manage members and save ordered links and notes for the Circle. Members read those materials in About without editing controls, and private context disappears after access is removed.

These paths were checked in signed Android release builds on an emulator with a local Go backend. Physical gestures for every separate path, iOS, and external server infrastructure were outside this check.
