swaitsandClaude Opus 4.7 f83d4088e3 spec: link corpus references to GitHub, version-aware
Every "Test vectors: \`corpus/...\`" mention in the spec is now a
markdown link pointing at the corresponding file or directory on
GitHub. Each version build resolves its links to the correct git
ref:

  - /latest/ -> https://github.com/swaits/meshcore-spec/tree/main/corpus/...
  - /v0.1.0/ -> https://github.com/swaits/meshcore-spec/tree/v0.1.0/corpus/...
  - future /vX.Y.Z/ -> /tree/vX.Y.Z/corpus/...

Two changes:

1. src/*.md (18 files): the inline-code corpus paths in each
   "Cross-References" section are now markdown links. Directories
   point at /tree/main/corpus/..., individual .json files point at
   /blob/main/corpus/.... CHANGELOG and other non-corpus main links
   are intentionally left pointing at main — the canonical history
   lives there regardless of which version you're reading.

2. justfile: `cut-version` now also runs a sed over the snapshot's
   *.md files replacing /tree/main/corpus -> /tree/<VERSION>/corpus
   and /blob/main/corpus -> /blob/<VERSION>/corpus. So a freshly-cut
   version is self-consistent.

versions/v0.1.0/* regenerated by re-running
`just cut-version v0.1.0` after the new src/ links + recipe sed
landed.

Tagging the release commit (`git tag v0.1.0`) is now REQUIRED — not
"optional" — because the rendered /v0.1.0/ pages reference
/tree/v0.1.0/corpus/... on GitHub. Without the tag the links 404.
cut-version's output now says so.

# MeshCore Protocol Specification
## Section 13: Payload — Raw Custom
### Overview
The RAW_CUSTOM payload carries application-defined raw bytes with no prescribed
structure. It is intended for applications that implement their own encryption,
framing, or payload formats on top of the MeshCore transport.
### Payload Type
Header payload type field: `0x0F` (RAW_CUSTOM)
### Wire Format
```
0
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Raw Data (1-184 bytes) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
```
### Fields
| Field | Offset | Size | Type | Description |
|-------|--------|------|------|-------------|
| data | 0 | 1-184 bytes | raw | Application-defined payload |
### Routing
In the current reference implementation, RAW_CUSTOM packets are only processed
when received via direct routing. They are NOT flood-routed.
### Constraints
- Payload MUST be at least 1 byte.
- Maximum payload: 184 bytes (MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD).
- Maximum total data: limited by `sizeof(Packet::payload)` which is
MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD (184).
### Cross-References
- Test vectors: [`corpus/payloads/raw-custom/`](https://github.com/swaits/meshcore-spec/tree/v0.1.0/corpus/payloads/raw-custom/)
### Reference Implementation
- `Mesh::createRawData()` in `src/Mesh.cpp` — Encoding
- `Mesh::onRecvPacket()`, case `PAYLOAD_TYPE_RAW_CUSTOM` — Processing (direct only)
