parlov-elicit 0.3.0

Elicitation engine: strategy selection and probe plan generation for parlov.
Documentation
//! `StateTransitionElicitation` -- probes with a body triggering an invalid state transition.
//!
//! Sends a JSON body containing a known-invalid field value (from `ctx.state_field`)
//! on both baseline and probe requests. The oracle signal is the server returning
//! 409 for an existing resource versus 404 for a nonexistent one.
