backbone.rs

//! Backbone TCP mesh interface using cross-platform polling.
//!
//! Server mode: listens on a TCP port, accepts peer connections, spawns
//! dynamic per-peer interfaces. Uses a single poll thread to multiplex
//! all client sockets. HDLC framing for packet boundaries.
//!
//! Client mode: connects to a remote backbone server, single TCP connection
//! with HDLC framing. Reconnects on disconnect.
//!
//! Matches Python `BackboneInterface.py`.
