parlov-elicit 0.5.0

Elicitation engine: strategy selection and probe plan generation for parlov.
Documentation
//! `LowPrivilegeElicitation` -- probes using the operator's own credential as-is.
//!
//! Sends both the baseline and probe requests with `ctx.headers` unmodified. The
//! oracle signal is the server returning 403 for existing resources the caller
//! cannot access versus 404 for nonexistent ones.
