parlov-elicit 0.1.2

Elicitation engine: strategy selection and probe plan generation for parlov.
Documentation
//! `EmptyBodyElicitation` — probes with a minimal empty JSON object body.
//!
//! Sends `{}` as the body on both baseline and probe requests, with
//! `Content-Type: application/json`. The oracle signal is the server
//! returning 422 (schema validation failure) for an existing resource versus
//! 404 for a nonexistent one — existence is revealed by whether validation
//! runs at all.
