Deploys an IdentityContract on-chain owned by this device. It anchors your name and lets others reach you across devices.
Costs 100,000 credits, debited via the canonical IdentityFactory_V6. First-time users without credits get an automatic promo claim while supplies last (10 free identities per day).

An Identity contract is your name on chain. It lets you publish under your name, receive messages addressed to your identity, and span multiple devices. The relay covers gas + credits — no cost to you on first mint.
