Summary

  • Clarify the "Finish connecting Buzz" dialog: it binds the existing device nsec to the Builderlab email — it does not mint a new key.
  • Point users who want a different private key at Settings → Account (sign out / import / create) before reconnecting.
  • Align mismatch-dialog + Hosted Communities settings copy; add docs/hosted-community-identity.md and a CONTRIBUTING link.
  • E2E asserts the new hint on the Finish connecting path.

Test plan

  • Open hosted community create with Builderlab signed in, no link yet — hint mentions Settings → Account
  • Mismatch dialog mentions identity switch, not only "different email"
  • desktop/tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts hosted connect path still green

Closes #3880

@tlongwell-block @wesbillman @wpfleger96 mind taking a look when you get a chance?

Users on Windows often expect a new nsec when signing into a second
Builderlab email; the dialog only links the key already on device (block#3880).

Mismatch copy previously said "sign out for a different email" and
hid the Settings → Account path for a new nsec (block#3880).

Keep Settings → Hosted Communities aligned with the onboarding bind
hint for block#3880.

Document the block#3880 trap: Finish connecting never mints a new key.

Make the block#3880 binding FAQ discoverable from the contributor guide.
