Merge branch 'master' into next

Forward-merge the v0.4.0 pre-release content (dependency refresh, CI
deb-install + AUR-build legs, docs refresh, doc-comment fixes, and the
Phase 4 source-content squash: CHANGELOG, release notes, README,
fips.yaml, Cargo.toml metadata, reference docs) up the one-way flow.

Conflict fixups (keep next's identity, fold in master's improvements):
- Version: keep next's 0.5.0-dev (Cargo.toml/lock).
- README status: keep next's v0.5.0-dev / wire-format-breaking framing
  and the Breaking-section pointer; fold in the Nym transport and the
  "global, public test mesh of thousands of nodes" description.
- docs/reference/cli-fips.md: keep next's 0.5.0-dev version example.
- CHANGELOG: keep next's XX-handshake admission entry (no early cap gate
  on XX) and drop master's IK early-cap-at-handle_msg1 entry, which
  describes IK-only behavior that does not apply on next; take master's
  OR-union mesh-size rewrite (next carries the OR-union code); restore
  the Tor connect_refused and MMP receiver-report entries that the
  Fixed-section consolidation would otherwise have dropped.
- lifecycle.rs: keep the mDNS/LAN handshake doc-comment as Noise XX
  (next unifies on XX), not master's XX-to-IK correction.

Quartet green on the merged tree: fmt, build, clippy -D warnings, and
cargo test --lib (1434 passed).

During punching, compatible private-subnet candidates and reflexive candidates
are attempted in parallel; the first successful path wins.
#### LAN Discovery (`node.discovery.lan.*`)
Peer discovery on the local link via mDNS / DNS-SD (RFC 6762 / RFC
6763). When enabled, the node publishes a `_fips._udp.local.` service
advert carrying its `npub` (and optional scope) and concurrently
browses for the same service type to learn same-broadcast-domain peers.
The result is sub-second peer pairing with no Nostr-relay roundtrip,
STUN observation, or NAT traversal: the observed endpoint is by
construction routable from the consumer's LAN.
mDNS adverts are unauthenticated, so a LAN advert is treated only as a
routing hint. Identity is still proven end-to-end by the Noise XX
handshake the node initiates against the observed endpoint; a spoofed
advert carrying another peer's npub fails the handshake and is dropped.
LAN discovery requires an active UDP transport (peers dial the
advertised UDP port to begin the handshake).
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `node.discovery.lan.enabled` | bool | `false` | Master switch. Opt-in: enable for sub-second same-LAN pairing. Default-off avoids reintroducing a per-LAN identity broadcast on nodes that have deliberately disabled other discovery channels |
| `node.discovery.lan.service_type` | string | `"_fips._udp.local."` | DNS-SD service type. Primarily an override for integration tests running multiple isolated services on one loopback interface; leave at the default in production |
| `node.discovery.lan.scope` | string | *(none)* | Optional application/network scope carried in a `scope=<name>` TXT entry. Browsers with a scope set only surface peers advertising the same scope, so nodes on the same physical LAN configured for different mesh networks do not cross-feed. Intentionally separate from `node.discovery.nostr.app` so relay-visible adverts can stay generic while LAN discovery is isolated per private network |

### Nym (`transports.nym.*`)
Nym transport routes FIPS traffic through the Nym mixnet for
metadata-resistant anonymity. Outbound-only: connections are made
through a `nym-socks5-client` SOCKS5 proxy that must be running
separately (e.g. as a service running alongside the fips daemon or as a
container). There is no inbound listener — a Nym-only node initiates
outbound links but is not reachable for unsolicited inbound handshakes.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `transports.nym.socks5_addr` | string | `"127.0.0.1:1080"` | `nym-socks5-client` SOCKS5 proxy address (host:port) |
| `transports.nym.connect_timeout_ms` | u64 | `300000` | Outbound connect timeout in milliseconds. Mixnet SOCKS5 connections traverse 3 mix nodes with timing obfuscation and can take several minutes, so this is generous (300s). |
| `transports.nym.mtu` | u16 | `1400` | Default MTU |
| `transports.nym.startup_timeout_secs` | u64 | `120` | Seconds to wait for `nym-socks5-client` to become ready at startup before giving up |
**Named instances.** Like other transports, multiple Nym instances can
be configured with named sub-keys for different SOCKS5 proxy endpoints.

### Rejection reasons
Silent-rejection paths across the node classify why a message was
dropped via a typed `RejectReason` rather than only logging it, so the
*what* of a rejection is visible in the counter snapshots above. The
top-level reason set has eight families, mirroring the protocol-layer /
subsystem split of the metrics:
- **Tree** — spanning-tree `TreeAnnounce` processing rejections.
- **Bloom** — bloom-filter `FilterAnnounce` processing rejections.
- **Discovery** — discovery request / response processing rejections.
- **Handshake** — Noise handshake state-machine rejections.
- **Session** — FSP session state-machine rejections.
- **Mmp** — MMP link-layer rejections.
- **Forwarding** — forwarding-path rejections (no-route, TTL, MTU).
- **Transport** — transport-layer rejections (admission caps, framing).
Each rejection increments the corresponding counter in its family's
stats, surfaced through `show_metrics` (the `tree`, `bloom`,
`discovery`, and `forwarding` families carry their own counters; the
`errors` family and the remaining subsystem counters carry the rest).
The full per-family variant list lives in `src/node/reject.rs`; it is
not reproduced here to avoid duplicating the source.
