Phase 28 of ui/PLAN.md needs a persistent player-to-player mail
channel; the existing `mail` package is a transactional email
outbox and the `notification` catalog is one-way platform events.
Stage A lands the schema (diplomail_messages / _recipients /
_translations), a single-recipient personal send/read/delete
service path, a `diplomail.message.received` push kind plumbed
through the notification pipeline, and an unread-counts endpoint
that drives the lobby badge. Admin / system mail, lifecycle hooks,
paid-tier broadcast, multi-game broadcast, bulk purge and language
detection / translation cache come in stages B–D.
