huddle-core 1.0.1

Protocol, networking, crypto, and storage layer for huddle — a decentralized terminal chat app.
Documentation
//! Client connector to the centralized `huddle-server`.
//!
//! huddle's primary transport is libp2p (mDNS on the LAN, gossipsub
//! across direct/relayed connections). This module adds a *second* path:
//! a WebSocket to a single canonical server that the operator hosts. The
//! server is reachable only as a **Tor v3 onion**, so `.onion` URLs are
//! dialed through Tor's local SOCKS5 proxy; plain `ws://host:port` URLs
//! (used in tests) are dialed directly.
//!
//! The server is a dumb ciphertext mover: we hand it the same opaque
//! huddle wire bytes we would have published on a gossipsub topic,
//! tagged with the cleartext `room` id, base64-encoded. It fans them out
//! to the room's other members and queues them for offline ones. All
//! encryption/authentication stays in the layers above — this module
//! never inspects the payload.
