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.

Captures the four next-task buckets:
- Outreach (file issue on markqvist/Reticulum)
- Test infrastructure (bootstrap test-vectors/, write priority verifier scripts)
- Open UNVERIFIED items in SPEC.md to resolve
- Spec polishing (split SPEC.md, document Resource and Propagation /get)

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
