Adds docs/mesh.md and five graphviz diagrams covering the federation layer: identity stack, epoch state machine, per-member secret envelope, gossip wire contract, and operator decision tree. Pins the protocol contract for the upcoming HTTP wire (mesh sync, mesh serve). Makefile gets a 'docs' target with pattern rule so PNG renders are incremental from .dot sources.

// aborist/mesh — per-member secret envelope.
|
|
//
|
|
// Every epoch carries one fresh 32-byte symmetric secret. That single
|
|
// secret is wrapped N times, once per member, using ECDH between the
|
|
// rotator's X25519 priv and each member's X25519 pub. Each member
|
|
// unwraps only their own slot. Evicted members get no slot at all.
|
|
//
