Johnathan Corgan ca24ba02b7 Add TUN driver design document
- docs/design/fips-tun-driver.md: comprehensive TUN interface documentation
- Architecture diagrams, component descriptions, packet flow
- Implementation status checklist (completed vs planned)
- Testing instructions and configuration reference

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 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/.
