//! Directory and actor-address routing contracts.
//!
//! These tests cover the signed directory as the source of actor-address-to-host truth and the use
//! of its route view for best-effort application-message delivery.
//!
//! Behavioral/correctness guarantees:
//! - The directory is the signed, convergent source of actor-address-to-host truth.
//! - Only valid host-signed claims can affect routing.
//! - Actor moves are resolved by generation/conflict rules and converge across peers.
//! - Dead hosts disappear from routable views while retained claims remain recoverable.
//! - Address-only app-message delivery follows the current route view.
//! - Missing, stale, unknown, or dead routes fail as best-effort drops, not panics or false
//!   deliveries.

mod directory_actor {
    //! DirectoryActor convergence and safety: signed claims, supersede, deterministic conflict
    //! resolution, dead-host hiding, catch-up, quieting, and retained recovery claims.
