RuntimeWire finds a Trusted Network invite flow inside Meta's public Muse JavaScript

RuntimeWire found identifiers for Trusted Network invitations, connection reviews and safety codes in 69 public JavaScript files from Meta's Muse. The names show how two people would connect, but not what a connection may share, and that is the part agent builders need.
