- Rewrite TCP "Connect-on-Send" section to document non-blocking connect model (ConnectingPool, PendingConnect, poll_pending_connects) - Add connect() and connection_state() to Transport trait surface - Expand Connection Lifecycle section with ConnectionState enum - Remove phantom TCP socks5_proxy field (removed from code, superseded by TorConfig) - Fix "future Tor transport" references (stream reader already shared) - Replace misleading "tor:" named TCP instance example - Update fips-intro.md implementation status (TCP and Ethernet are implemented, not "under active design")
FIPS Design Documents
Protocol design specifications for the Federated Interoperable Peering System — a self-organizing encrypted mesh network built on Nostr identities.
Reading Order
Start with the introduction, then follow the protocol stack from bottom to top. After the stack, the mesh operation document explains how all the pieces work together. Supporting references provide deeper dives into specific topics.
