Johnathan Corgan 3b6a4da17d Complete FIPS architecture review cleanup
- Rename fips-links.md to fips-transports.md, update all references
- Update README with all 6 design documents in organized sections
- Reorganize architecture review: remove verbose resolved items, consolidate
  deferred items, focus on actionable issues
- Clarify Transport/Link/Peer lifecycle in architecture doc:
  - Transports static after startup
  - Links on-demand, driven by peer lifecycle
  - Connectionless transports (UDP) immediate established
  - Connection-oriented (Tor) require link setup before auth
- Add Resource Limits configuration section (max_peers, max_transports,
  max_pending_auth, max_pending_lookups, memory_budget)
- Close timer management as non-issue (tokio handles scale)
- Defer init/shutdown to future iteration

Review status: 6 resolved, 5 deferred, 4 low-priority open

Johnathan Corgan fc20c47119 Resolve architecture review items and reconcile terminology
- Standardize coordinate ordering to [self, parent, ..., root] across all docs
- Fix 8 coordinate ordering instances in spanning-tree-dynamics.md
- Clarify cache naming: discovery.cache and session.cache configure Node.coord_cache
- Reconcile Transport vs Link terminology:
  - Transport = interface/medium (UDP socket, Ethernet NIC)
  - Link = connection instance to a specific peer
- Update fips-design.md: replace FipsLink trait with architecture reference
- Rename fips-links.md to "Transport Protocols", add terminology section
- Update review doc: mark items 1, 5, 13 RESOLVED; items 2-4, 7 DEFERRED

Johnathan Corgan c2ba0e3fcb Add FIPS software architecture document
Create comprehensive architecture document covering:
- Core entities: Node, Transport, Link, Peer hierarchy
- Transport vs Link distinction (interface vs connection)
- State machines for Transport, Link, and Peer lifecycles
- Reference transport types: UDP/IP, Ethernet, WiFi, Tor
- Spanning tree and Bloom filter state requirements
- Self-healing protocol design (no ack/retry needed)
- Leaf-only operation for constrained devices
- Comprehensive sysctl-style configuration reference

Also add architecture review document capturing identified
issues to resolve before implementation begins.

Johnathan Corgan dc0acf32ea Add FIPS routing design document
Create fips-routing.md covering the complete routing architecture:
- Bloom filter design: 4KB filters, K=2 scope, event-driven updates
- Discovery protocol: LookupRequest/Response with signed proofs
- Greedy tree routing using coordinates from discovery
- Session establishment model for minimal data packet overhead
- Router coordinate caching with LRU eviction

Key design decisions:
- Leaf-only mode for constrained devices (single peer handles routing)
- Separation of discovery (find destination) from routing (deliver packets)
- Session setup pays coordinate cost once; data packets carry only addresses
- 36-byte data packet header comparable to IPv6

Update design docs README to include new document.

Johnathan Corgan d8cba510a7 Add FIPS link protocol design document
New docs/design/fips-links.md covering:
- Link terminology (L2/L2-equivalent, not "transport")
- Link categories: overlay, shared medium, point-to-point
- Characteristics table: encapsulation, addressing, MTU, latency,
  reliability, bandwidth, discovery
- TCP-over-TCP problem and UDP preference rationale
- NAT/firewall traversal requirements
- IPv6 interface exposure to applications

Update README.md with new document entry.

Johnathan Corgan 7194200f55 Add docs/design directory with protocol specifications
Move design documents from working directory into source tree:
- fips-design.md - Full protocol design specification
- spanning-tree-dynamics.md - Spanning tree protocol dynamics study

Add README index files for docs/ and docs/design/.

Johnathan Corgan b80b3fbecf Add YAML configuration system and nsec encoding
Configuration system:
- New config module with cascading file search
- Priority: ./fips.yaml > ~/.config/fips/ > ~/.fips.yaml > /etc/fips/
- Identity section with optional nsec (bech32 or hex format)
- Generate new keypair if nsec not configured

Identity module additions:
- encode_nsec() and decode_nsec() for NIP-19 bech32 format
- decode_secret() accepts both nsec and hex formats
- Identity::from_secret_str() constructor

Dependencies: serde, serde_yaml, dirs, hex

41 tests passing (20 identity + 15 config + 6 nsec)

Johnathan Corgan ac2f6a75c8 Add npub encoding and PeerIdentity to identity module
- Add bech32 dependency for NIP-19 npub encoding
- Add encode_npub/decode_npub functions
- Add Identity::npub() method
- Add PeerIdentity type for remote peers (public key only)
  - from_npub() constructor
  - verify() for signature verification
- Export new types from lib.rs
- Update main.rs with verbose authentication demo
- 20 tests passing

Johnathan Corgan 5c0e84f239 Add identity module with NodeId, FipsAddress, and auth challenge
Implements FIPS Identity System (Section 1 of design doc):
- NodeId: 32-byte SHA-256 hash of npub, with Ord for root election
- FipsAddress: 128-bit IPv6-compatible address (0xfd prefix)
- Identity: keypair holder with sign/verify methods
- AuthChallenge/AuthResponse: challenge-response authentication

All 11 tests passing.
