hashtree-network

Shared mesh networking primitives for hashtree: routing, signaling, negotiated peer links, and routed store logic.

The core is transport-generic:

• SignalingTransport abstracts discovery and negotiation message delivery
• PeerLink / PeerLinkFactory abstract the direct byte path between peers
• MeshRouter coordinates peer discovery plus negotiated link setup
• MeshStoreCore runs routed retrieval over any local Store

The default production composition uses Nostr relays for signaling and WebRTC data channels for direct links, but the same router/store core also powers simulation and can support nearby transports such as Bluetooth.

Architecture

1. Discovery and negotiation flow through a SignalingTransport
2. Direct peer links are created by a PeerLinkFactory
3. MeshStoreCore routes hash-addressed requests over the connected peers

Usage

hashtree-cli and simulation both build on this crate. The production MeshStore wrapper is intentionally thin and just wires the default Nostr + WebRTC transport pair into the shared core.
