commonware-consensus 2026.4.0

Order opaque messages in a Byzantine environment.
Documentation
//! Byzantine participant that behaves correctly except increments the epoch by 1
//! in all outgoing votes (notarize/finalize/nullify). This helps ensure peers
//! reject messages from an unexpected epoch.
