relay loop	`channels serve irc`	irc relay-loop serve is not implemented yet

Requirement	Config paths	Env pointer paths	Default env
channel enabled	`irc.enabled` `irc.accounts.<account>.enabled`	none	none
server	`irc.server` `irc.accounts.<account>.server`	`irc.server_env` `irc.accounts.<account>.server_env`	`IRC_SERVER`

This surface is a direct-send delivery lane. It does not join gateway run or the gateway-owned reply-loop contract today.

IRC stays outbound-only today even though the catalog tracks a future relay-loop surface.
