Johnathan Corgan 784e22ab1f 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).

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/.
