Johnathan Corgan 22372018bd Merge master into next
Carries the per-peer medium-change probe, the work written on top of it,
and the heartbeat-send accounting fix that came up from the maintenance
line. Every source file merged without a conflict, because this line had
not touched any of them.

The changelog was the only conflict, in two hunks, and one of them was
not the union it looked like. The first was: this line's own Fixed
entries and the other line's Node lifecycle subsection are both
additions, and both are kept. The second was not. The medium-change
detection entry already existed here, inherited when this line last took
a merge, and the other side was offering the same entry with an upgrade
note appended rather than a new one. Taking both would have described the
feature twice, once with the note and once without, so the older copy is
replaced in place and stays under Added where it belongs.

That note is the part with a consequence, and it now reaches this line
too: with detection on by default, a node that shortened its liveness
timeout to one or two seconds for fast failover is refused at startup
after the upgrade, citing a key its operator never set.

Reference

Information-oriented technical descriptions for lookup on demand. Reference content describes what is: wire formats, configuration keys, command-line flags, control-socket commands, default values, file paths, exit codes. It is consulted, not read end-to-end.

Reference is austere by design: minimal narrative, no opinions, no guidance on when to use a feature. The "why" lives in design/; the "how do I accomplish X" lives in how-to/.
