Peat mesh networking library with CRDT sync, transport security, and topology management
Documentation
//! Flexible hierarchy and role management for mesh topology
//!
//! This module provides pluggable hierarchy strategies that enable both
//! static (organizational) and dynamic (capability-based) role assignment.

/// Hierarchy strategy trait for pluggable role/level assignment
///
/// Integrators implement this trait to define how nodes determine their
/// hierarchy level and role within the mesh. The protocol provides built-in
/// strategies for common use cases:
///
/// - **StaticHierarchyStrategy**: Fixed assignment from configuration
/// - **DynamicHierarchyStrategy**: Capability-based election
/// - **HybridHierarchyStrategy**: Static baseline with dynamic transitions
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```ignore
/// use peat_mesh::hierarchy::{HierarchyStrategy, StaticHierarchyStrategy, NodeRole};
///
/// let strategy = StaticHierarchyStrategy {
///     assigned_level: HierarchyLevel::Squad,
///     assigned_role: NodeRole::Leader,
/// };
///
/// let level = strategy.determine_level(&node_profile);
/// let role = strategy.determine_role(&node_profile, &nearby_beacons);
/// ```
