OpenFile and OpenDisk carry OpenServer 0.2's developer block, and OpenFile names fi1zes.com (#173)

A publisher and a disk each say which CLI drives them, in the same
`developer` shape OpenServer 0.2 defines, so a marketplace shows one
install line beside every listing without reading a docs page per host.
fi1zes.com is the name chosen for the OpenFile marketplace on 2026-09-13,
not yet registered; bittorrented.com stays the reference reader until then.

1. **`publisher.name`, `files[].id` and `files[].name` are the only required keys.** A descriptor with those alone is valid. A reader lists what it was given and reports the rest as unstated rather than assumed.
2. **`files[].id` is the content hash of the plaintext**, `sha256:` and hex. For an `ipfile` swarm it is the manifest's `plainRoot`, so the id a reader gets here is the root the decrypted file verifies against. For a plain HTTP file it is the SHA-256 of the bytes. It is the dedupe key: two publishers serving the same bytes list the same id, and a directory that meets the same id twice has one file with two publishers, not two files.
3. **`publisher`** is who put it up. `web` is the site, `operator` the person or organisation answerable as an [OpenProfile.md](/openprofile) URL, `key` the OpenSwarm publisher key that signed the manifests, `feed` the `ipdb` feed a swarm reader can follow instead of polling this file, `hubs` the `ippay` hubs whose passes the publisher accepts. A publisher with no swarm has none of the last three.

A publisher with no swarm has none of `key`, `feed` and `hubs`.
4. **`updated`** on the descriptor is when anything in it last changed; **`updated`** on a file is when that file last changed and wins for that file. A reader with the descriptor's `updated` unchanged since its last fetch may skip the rest.
5. **`descriptor`** is the URL of the same file object served on its own, next to the file: `<name>.openfile.json`, or wherever the publisher puts it. A reader handed a single file's descriptor by that route has everything below without the listing.
6. **`size`, `contentType`, `pieces`** describe the bytes. `size` is the plaintext length in bytes. `pieces.length` is the piece length, a power of two; `pieces.count` follows from it; `pieces.layer` is where to fetch the plaintext piece layer, so a reader can verify each piece as it arrives rather than the whole at the end.
