1//! Self-certifying protocol addresses.
2//!
3//! An address is a bech32m encoding of `0x01 ‖ SHA-256(ed25519_pub)[..20]`,
4//! rendered as `off1…` (44 characters). Because the payload is a hash of the
5//! identity key, an address authenticates itself: a peer claiming an address
6//! can be checked by re-deriving it from the public key it presents, with no
7//! trust-on-first-use pin store in between.
8//!
9//! This module never touches key material — hashing happens upstream (see
10//! `MlsManager::derive_address`); [`Address`] is constructed from the already
11//! truncated hash.
12//!
13//! # Exactly one string form
14//!
15//! Every payload has exactly one accepted spelling. [`Address::from_str`]
16//! rejects uppercase input, the non-`m` bech32 checksum, wrong HRP, wrong
17//! version byte, wrong payload length, and — critically — encodings that
18//! decode to the right payload but are not the canonical spelling of it.
19//! The last class is not hypothetical: the `bech32` crate's decoder discards
20//! the trailing sub-byte bits without checking they are zero, and its
21//! fes-to-bytes length rule (`n * 5 / 8`) maps both 34- and 35-character data
22//! parts onto a 21-byte payload. Both shapes are checksum-valid and both are
23//! caught here by re-encoding and requiring byte-for-byte equality with the
24//! input. Briar's "spare bit" address bug is the reference failure for what
25//! happens when this is skipped.

90/// # Ordering
91///
92/// [`Ord`] compares the underlying hash bytes, **not** the rendered string.
93/// The two orders differ: the bech32 charset (`qpzry9x8gf2tvdw0s3jn54khce6mua7l`)
94/// is not monotonic in ASCII — value 4 renders as `y` (0x79) and value 5 as
95/// `9` (0x39) — and a string comparison would also weigh the checksum
96/// characters.
97///
98/// **Which order a tiebreaker uses is fixed per site, and the sites disagree.**
99/// Both-create session ownership compares `Address` values (hash bytes); group
100/// leave election, admin auto-promotion and fork leader election sort rendered
101/// strings. Each converges on its own, because every peer running that
102/// tiebreaker sorts the same way.
103///
104/// Do not "harmonize" one site onto the other order. Peers that changed and
105/// peers that did not would then elect different winners from identical input,
106/// with no way to detect the disagreement locally. Prefer hash-byte order for
107/// anything new. See `docs/adr/0003-self-certifying-addresses.md`.
