Initial release: v0.1.0

Passphrase-based peer rendezvous for iroh-gossip swarms over the public
Mainline DHT. Two nodes that share a passphrase + application salt find
each other and join the same gossip topic — no bootstrap server, no
prior knowledge of peer addresses.

The algorithm is a clock-free variant of HyParView-style partition
healing on BEP 44 mutable items, with K-sharded slots, logical aging
with random-tie eviction, vouching of up to V neighbors at age 1, and
a two-layer AEAD record envelope. Full spec in PROTOCOL.md.

Ships with:

* 119 tests (unit / property / integration / doctest) all green
* 100% mutation-testing catch rate (cargo-mutants)
* cargo-fuzz harnesses for the parse surface
* Kani proofs of no-UB / no-panic on crypto::epoch_of and
  wire::decode_entries across their full symbolic input spaces
* Stateright distributed-system model: safety invariants S1 + S2
  proved exhaustively for N ≤ 6, K ≤ 3; liveness witness under weak
  fairness
* Miri green on the synchronous modules
* cargo-deny + cargo-audit clean
* criterion benches
* Full-matrix CI (Linux + macOS + Windows × stable + MSRV 1.93.0)
* Dedicated nightly lane for Miri / mutation / fuzz / Kani / Stateright

+//! Stateright model of the rendezvous algorithm.
+//!
+//! Gives a bounded-exhaustive safety proof (BFS) and a sampled liveness
+//! witness (random walk) for the PROTOCOL.md §§4–5 procedures.
+//!
+//! Scope — what this model **does** capture:
+//! * `WriteSlot`: a node writes its self-entry (age 0) + up to V vouches
+//!   at age 1 to its `slot_u = H(self_id) mod K`, using a simplified merge
+//!   (age-up, evict by max-age with deterministic tie-break).
+//! * `HealRead`: a node reads a random slot and adds discovered IDs to
+//!   its `joined` set — the simulator's stand-in for `GossipSender::join_peers`.
+//! * `Dial`: completes a gossip connection (the iroh-gossip dial handshake
+//!   is abstracted to a single atomic action).
+//!
+//! What it **does not** model (by design):
+//! * Crypto — accepted correct (RustCrypto stack).
+//! * Actual network timing, jitter, or dropped packets.
+//! * Byzantine writers.
+//!
+//! **Safety properties checked** (must always hold across every reachable
+//! state in the BFS-explored state space):
+//!
+//! - **S1 (size)**: every slot's record has `len ≤ B`.
+//! - **S2 (age)**: every entry has `age < A_max`.
+//!
+//! **Liveness property** (sampled via random-walk; not exhaustive):
+//!
+//! - **L1 (partition heals)**: starting from two disjoint connected
+//!   components, eventually some node in one has discovered a node in
+//!   the other via a HealRead.
