//! The **link.md client** — the five interconnect verbs `dbmd` speaks against
//! a hub: `resolve`, `sync`, `grant`, `propose`, `subscribe`.
//!
//! One binary, two specs (the git precedent: one binary carries both the
//! object format and the wire protocol). The db.md FORMAT is untouched by this
//! module: a store never needs link.md to be valid db.md, record files stay
//! plain markdown, and SPEC.md reserves only the `@brain/id` address *shape*.
//! Everything with a wire or a trust boundary — addressing across stores,
//! pulling/pushing a hosted copy, capability grants, the propose door, feed
//! polling and signed-entry verification — lives here, as a *client
//! capability*, never a format requirement.
//!
//! # What this client speaks
//!
//! The v0 HTTP binding a hub serves under its base URL:
//!
//! | verb | binding |
//! | --- | --- |
//! | `resolve` | `GET /api/hub/brains/<brain>` (the brain card); records are read from the exact signed snapshot pack named by that card's verified feed head |
//! | `sync` (pull) | `GET /api/hub/brains/<brain>/export?format=pack&atSeq=<n>&feedHash=<hash>` — the exact verified snapshot |
//! | `sync` (push) | `POST /api/hub/brains/<brain>/push` for small snapshots; presign/upload/commit for large snapshots |
//! | `grant` | `GET` / `POST /api/hub/brains/<brain>/grants`, `DELETE /api/hub/brains/<brain>/grants/<id>` |
//! | `propose` | `POST /api/hub/sites/<handle>/inbox` — evidence in, without trust (unauthenticated by design) |
//! | `subscribe` | `GET /api/hub/brains/<brain>` + `/feed` for a locally verified signed head |
//!
//! # Configuration — no default hub, credential never in the store
//!
//! There is **no built-in hub endpoint**: the toolkit is neutral and a hub is
//! whatever the user points it at. Resolution order for the hub URL:
//!
//! 1. the `--hub <URL>` flag,
//! 2. the `DBMD_HUB_URL` environment variable,
//! 3. the `hub = <URL>` line in the store-local `.dbmd/config` file
//!    (toolkit state, not store content — the walkers already skip hidden
//!    directories, so `.dbmd/` never syncs, indexes, or validates).
//!
//! The credential is the `DBMD_HUB_KEY` environment variable, full stop. It is
//! deliberately **not** read from `.dbmd/config`: a secret inside the store
//! tree is one commit or one push away from leaking. A store-selected hub may
//! receive an ambient bearer or agent key only when
//! `DBMD_HUB_CREDENTIAL_ORIGIN` binds it to that exact origin. Identity pins
//! and monotonic feed checkpoints live in the user's global state directory,
//! never in store-controlled `.dbmd/`.
//!
//! Non-HTTPS hubs are refused (the bearer key must never travel in cleartext)
//! with a loopback exemption for local development.
//!
//! # v0 honesty
//!
//! This client binds to what a hub enforces **today**: grantees are hub
//! principals (an email), grant scopes are store-path prefixes, pushes are
//! whole-store snapshots, and `subscribe` reports feed-head movement. The hub
//! signs each committed snapshot in a hash-chained feed with a per-brain
//! Ed25519 identity. This client verifies the rotation chain, signer epochs,
//! monotonic feed checkpoint, snapshot token, and content-addressed pack before
//! untrusted bytes touch their destination.
