//! # Server identity with proof-of-work birth certificate
//!
//! [`ServerId`] is the stable identity of a single server node. Unlike [`crate::tools::client_id::ClientId`],
//! which costs nothing to produce, a `ServerId` is expensive: the server's 32-byte `Id`
//! is the *reversed* bytes of a PoW hash computed over the server's keys, a random
//! sponsor id, a timestamp, and a random content hash — with a minimum leading-zero-bit
//! count (`SERVER_KEY_POW_MIN`) configured in [`crate::tools::config`].
//!
//! Reversing the PoW hash means the id naturally has a large number of **trailing**
//! zero bits. The Kademlia DHT distributes responsibility by XOR distance, and the
//! trailing-zero structure spreads servers evenly across the keyspace while making
//! every id independently verifiable: anyone can recompute the PoW from the fields
//! embedded in the `ServerId` and confirm the id is real.
//!
//! The PoW therefore acts as a "birth certificate" that gates server identities —
//! you can't cheaply spin up thousands of sybil servers targeting a specific keyspace
//! region because each id costs real CPU time.
//!
//! Beyond identity:
//! - [`ServerId::to_peer`] wraps the identity into a [`crate::protocol::peer::Peer`]
//!   for gossip on the DHT, signing the result with the server's private key.
//! - [`ServerId::encode`] / [`ServerId::decode`] provide a compact fixed-length byte
//!   representation for on-disk persistence.
//! - [`ServerId::verify`] re-runs the PoW check and confirms the embedded id matches.
