freenet 0.2.98

//! Out-of-band reference-path RTT probe for issue #4074 (Phase 1.5).
//!
//! Phase 1 of #4074 measures per-connection overlay RTT inflation. The
//! ~39h, ~368k-sample analysis posted on #4074 showed the cross-peer
//! median inflation sits at a structural ~55 ms baseline that almost
//! certainly reflects overlay multi-hop queueing, not user-traffic
//! contention on the local uplink. The two signals are confounded by
//! the overlay path itself.
//!
//! Reference-ping breaks that confound by measuring a *parallel* RTT
//! to a stable, well-known external target (default `1.1.1.1:53`) that
//! is not part of the Freenet overlay. The reference path shares the
//! local node's uplink with overlay traffic but does not share the
//! overlay's hop-by-hop queueing, so:
//!
//! - **Reference inflation rises, overlay inflation rises** → local
//!   uplink contention (user traffic competing with Freenet).
//! - **Overlay inflation rises, reference stable** → overlay or
//!   intermediate-peer queueing.
//!
//! Phase 1.5 emits a `shadow_reference_ping` telemetry event once per
//! second carrying the same shape of rolling-RTT snapshot as
//! `shadow_rtt_aggregate`. **Observation only**: nothing reads this
//! signal back from the controller path, exactly like the per-peer
//! shadow registry. The "never read from production data path" rule
//! in `.claude/rules/transport.md` applies here too.
//!
//! ## Privacy and reachability
//!
//! Each node sends one ~30-byte DNS query per second to the configured
//! reference target. That is comparable in observable footprint to a
//! background NTP/chrony client and well below typical resolver
//! traffic. The query name is a fixed constant (no user data is
//! exposed). Users behind firewalls that block outbound UDP/53 simply
//! get no samples — the loop silently retries and emits an aggregate
//! with `samples == 0`.
