//! [`DhtService`] — the public handle that ties the routing table, provider store, transport, and
//! iterative lookup into the four operations a DIG Node needs:
//!
//! - [`bootstrap`](DhtService::bootstrap) — seed the routing table from known peers (the dig-gossip
//!   pool / relay introducer) + populate it with a self-lookup.
//! - [`find_providers`](DhtService::find_providers) — "who holds this content?" → the provider
//!   records (the node then fetches over the L7 peer RPC).
//! - [`announce_provider`](DhtService::announce_provider) — "I hold this content" → PUT a provider
//!   record at the `k` nodes closest to the content key (and locally), and remember to republish it.
//! - [`find_node`](DhtService::find_node) — the `k` peers closest to a `peer_id` (routing primitive).
//!
//! Plus maintenance ([`republish`](DhtService::republish), [`refresh_buckets`](DhtService::refresh_buckets),
//! [`gc`](DhtService::gc)) and the **serving side** ([`handle_request`](DhtService::handle_request))
//! that answers inbound DHT RPCs from other nodes.
//!
//! ## Serving vs. querying
//!
//! A node is both a client and a server of the DHT. [`handle_request`](DhtService::handle_request)
//! is the server: given an inbound [`DhtRequest`], it reads/writes the local routing table +
//! provider store and returns the [`DhtResponse`]. The `find_*` / `announce_*` methods are the
//! client: they run iterative lookups over the [`DhtTransport`]. A dig-node wires `handle_request`
//! to inbound DHT streams and gives the service a transport that dials outbound.
