Elicitation engine: strategy selection and probe plan generation for parlov.
Documentation
//! `RateLimitBurstElicitation` — collects burst samples to detect rate-limit differentials.
//!
//! Sends `burst_count` requests to the baseline URL then `burst_count` to the probe URL
//! with `ctx.headers` unmodified and no body. Differences in rate-limit response behavior
//! across a burst reveal whether the server applies per-resource or per-session rate limits,
//! leaking existence or authorization state through volume-sensitive header changes.
