//! LAN peer discovery via mDNS / DNS-SD (RFC 6762 / RFC 6763).
//!
//! Publishes a `_fips._udp.local.` service advert carrying our `npub` and
//! discovery scope on the local link, and concurrently browses for the
//! same service type to learn peers reachable on the same broadcast
//! domain. The result is sub-second peer pairing without any Nostr-relay
//! roundtrip, STUN observation, or NAT traversal — the observed
//! endpoint is by construction routable from the consumer's LAN.
//!
//! ## Trust model
//!
//! mDNS adverts are unauthenticated: anyone on the LAN can multicast a
//! TXT carrying `npub=...`. Identity is still proven end-to-end by the
//! Noise XX handshake the Node initiates against the observed endpoint
//! — a spoofed advert with another peer's npub fails the handshake and
//! is silently dropped. Treat the mDNS advert as a routing hint, not as
//! identity. The information leaked (our npub plus a LAN endpoint) is a
//! subset of what we already publish on Nostr relays for every peer in
//! the world to read, so there's no marginal privacy cost.
//!
//! ## Scope filtering
//!
//! When a `discovery_scope` is configured, the advert carries it in a
//! `scope=<name>` TXT entry and the browser only surfaces peers with a
//! matching scope. Nodes on the same physical LAN but configured for
//! different mesh networks don't cross-feed each other.
