Johnathan Corgan d0a0824768 Merge master into next after the v0.4.1 release
Same split as the maint-to-master merge: version identity stays with the
receiving branch, project state flows up.

Kept next's: Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock at 0.6.0-dev, the status badge, and
the paragraph identifying next as the wire-format-breaking line that will not
interoperate with v0.2.x, v0.3.x, or v0.4.x peers. Only the shipped-release
pointer inside it moved from v0.4.0 to v0.4.1.

The changelog conflict was additive rather than competing, and resolving it
either way would have lost real content. Next's [Unreleased] Fixed section
carries the XX rekey divergence and dual-initiation work; master brought the
[0.4.1] section. Git could not tell these were adjacent rather than rival, so
both were kept in order, with next's Breaking block and its own [Unreleased]
entries untouched.

Took from master: the bloom FPR default change and its duplicate-definition
fix, the docs describing them, the v0.4.1 release notes, the v0.4.0 date
correction, and the root RELEASE-NOTES.md mirror.

Checked before merging that no incoming content names the Noise handshake
pattern, since next is XX where master is IK. The two "Noise IK" strings on
master both predate v0.4.0 and next already carries its own wording for them,
so nothing needed rewording here.

Quartet green: 1698 tests passed, clippy clean with -D warnings.

Reference

Information-oriented technical descriptions for lookup on demand. Reference content describes what is: wire formats, configuration keys, command-line flags, control-socket commands, default values, file paths, exit codes. It is consulted, not read end-to-end.

Reference is austere by design: minimal narrative, no opinions, no guidance on when to use a feature. The "why" lives in design/; the "how do I accomplish X" lives in how-to/.
