Three deterministic vector files complete the test-vectors/ bootstrap.
Each regenerator pins every random source so output is byte-identical
across runs against a fixed upstream RNS / LXMF version.
- announces.json: two vectors (no-ratchet + with-ratchet) signed by
Alice. Determinism via patched Identity.get_random_hash + module-
local time.time shim inside RNS.Destination.
- lxmf.json: two opportunistic-LXMF vectors Alice -> Bob, captures
full plaintext (S5.2 layout) plus Token-encrypted ciphertext (S3).
Determinism via fixed LXMessage.timestamp, ephemeral X25519 priv,
and Token CBC IV.
- links.json: full Link handshake — LINKREQUEST + LRPROOF wire bytes,
derived link_id, ECDH shared secret, and HKDF-derived session key
that both initiator and responder MUST agree on. Determinism via
three queued ephemeral priv-key blobs (initiator X25519, initiator
Ed25519, responder X25519) consumed in source-call order at
RNS/Link.py:285, :286, :278.
Status table in test-vectors/README.md and tools/README.md updated to
reflect the completed bootstrap. todo.md cleaned up to reflect actual
state (the previous "Open ⚠️ items needing a runtime verifier" section
was stale — all three verifiers were completed earlier).

Adds tools/ verifier scripts that exercise upstream RNS / LXMF and confirm
(or correct) the SPEC.md callouts:
- §2.3 HEADER_1→HEADER_2 conversion: verified by stubbing Transport.transmit
and seeding a multi-hop path_table entry.
- §4.3 app_data 3-element variant: producer in LXMF 0.9.6 actually emits
2 elements only (supported_functionality at LXMRouter.py:999 is dead
code); parser tolerates 1/2/3-element + raw UTF-8.
- §7.1 path? always-precedes claim: actually conditional on
not has_path() AND method==OPPORTUNISTIC.
- §7.4 ratchet ring default 8: actually Destination.RATCHET_COUNT = 512
at RNS/Destination.py:85.
Also fixes a documentation bug in §1.2: the rnstransport.path.request row
of the well-known-hash table had the dest-hash prefix where the name_hash
should be (correct name_hash is 7926bbe7dd7f9aba88b0).
Seeds test-vectors/identities.json (Alice + Bob) with a regenerator
(tools/regen_identities.py) and verifier (tools/verify_destination_hash.py)
covering §1.1 and §1.2.

Bootstrapped from the working notes of two reverse-engineering efforts:
- reticulum-lora-webclient (web/Capacitor)
- reticulum-mobile-app (Kotlin Multiplatform / Android)
SPEC.md consolidates byte-level wire format findings that aren't in the
upstream Reticulum manual. Each section grounded in upstream Python
source citations (file + line) where possible.
agent.md establishes the verification rules:
- Every claim is verified, unverified, or speculation; markers required
- Verification means a runnable script or a source citation
- PRs that quietly remove markers get rejected
tools/ and test-vectors/ are placeholder scaffolding with READMEs
describing the work needed.
Sections in SPEC.md flagged as currently UNVERIFIED:
- §2.3 Originator HEADER_1 -> HEADER_2 conversion
- §4.3 app_data 3-element variant with capabilities
- §7.1 path? always precedes LXMF (vs only on stale paths)
- §7.4 ratchet ring count default = 8
