//! Telemetry Router
//!
//! Router with internal named sides (like Relay), plus local processing.
//!
//! Design:
//! - Sides are registered with per-side TX handlers (packed or packet).
//! - RX is tagged by source side; route rules decide whether it is forwarded.
//! - Local endpoint handlers process packets as before (no side parameter).
//! - De-duplication remains packet-id based and side-agnostic.

// Apply the same cache contract independently to router and relay state.
