3//! Raft configuration-change propose/apply with learner semantics.
4//!
5//! `propose_conf_change` writes a `ConfChange` payload (see
6//! `crate::conf_change::ConfChange`) into the group leader's Raft log as a
7//! regular entry with a special prefix byte. The entry replicates via the
8//! normal `AppendEntries` channel; no new transport is needed.
9//!
10//! `apply_conf_change` is called by the tick loop when a committed entry
11//! is identified as a conf change. It updates both the in-memory
12//! `RaftNode` peer set and the `RoutingTable`:
13//!
14//! - `AddNode` → voter added to `RaftNode.peers` and `routing.members`.
15//! - `RemoveNode` → voter removed from both.
16//! - `AddLearner` → learner added to `RaftNode.learners` and `routing.learners`.
17//! - `PromoteLearner` → learner moved from `learners` to `members` in both;
18//!   if the promoted peer is *this* node, also flips the local role from
19//!   `Learner` to `Follower`.
