Upgrades iroh/iroh-relay across datastore, distribution, node, and integration,
adapts iroh_driver to the new Endpoint::builder(Minimal).relay_mode(...) API, and
removes the vendored ed25519-dalek patch now that 0.98 resolves the upstream compile
errors. Adds the SIM_SPEC.md simulator MVP spec under pipeline-parallel-inference.

Replaces the generic SimNode/gossip/dashboard framework with a virtual-time
discrete-event engine (priority queue ordered by time/node/fiber/seq), a TOML spec
parser, bundle writer, replay, divergence detector, lint, and postproc, plus the
parity-bar test harness with fixtures and xtask parity-lock tooling. Rewrites
transport identity/crypto and adds the SPEC/TESTING_SPEC/OBSERVABILITY/NORTH_STAR docs.

Add a complete single-GPU distributed-inference example that rents a vast.ai GPU, boots a worker container, and runs a prompt end-to-end over iroh/SWIM.
- examples/single-gpu-inference: add the `single_gpu_inference` orchestrator binary that starts a local iroh node, waits for the remote gpu-node to register the `"inference"` SWIM name, then sends an `InferenceRequest` and prints the response
- examples/single-gpu-inference: add the `gpu_node` binary that joins the cluster via `SEED_ADDR`, spawns an `InferenceActor` over `tinygrad_worker.py`, and registers the `"inference"` bridge
- inference_actor: bridge swactor messaging to a Python child process via stdin/stdout JSON, with `ProcessBridge`/`RequestBridge` adapters that satisfy the single-`Incoming` actor constraint
- iroh_transport: add `IrohActorTransport` that sends `WireEnvelope`s over iroh QUIC uni-streams (connection-cached against early close), plus wire encode/decode and an inbound drain helper
- vastai: add a vast.ai REST client (`find_offer` with reliability/cuda/geo filters excluding CN, `create_instance`, `wait_for_running`, `destroy_instance`) parameterised by a mockable `base_url`
- worker/docs/tests: ship `tinygrad_worker.py`/`echo_worker.py` (newline-JSON, `--stub`/`--model` defaulting to llama3.2:1b), a Dockerfile, Makefile, SPEC, and actor/codec/cluster/integration/vastai test suites

Stand up a runnable distribution stack on top of the core node logic.
- distribution: add NodeDriver bridging DistributedNode to real TCP I/O
(TcpTransport/TcpAcceptor), translating NodeActions to/from wire messages;
refine swim probe timing and transport wiring.
- node: new swactor-node binary (crates/node) hosting a real node over TCP.
- tests/docker: multi-host LAN cluster harness (compose, run-lan-cluster.sh,
cluster + lan_cluster integration tests) exercising the full SWIM path.
- simulation: cluster_scenarios integration + distribution property coverage.
- docs: reorganize into distribution/, runtime/, diagrams/, connectome/; add
DOCKER_REALIZATION + SIMULATION_TESTING realization notes.

Lay down the wasm-actor host, a frontend-agnostic command layer, and a
distribution registry.
- command (new crate): CommandRouter dispatching to built-in inspection handlers
(overview/workers/actors) plus user-registered handlers, with line and
query-param parsers; built for REPL/REST/TUI/WebSocket frontends.
- wasm-actor (new crate): skeleton host — WasmActor, Builder, Engine, error
types — with echo/double/silent guest fixtures and integration tests.
- distribution: add Registry (member catalog + lookups) and Snapshot, with tests.
- core: extend the worker watch API; add watch_api integration tests.

Make mailbox push infallible and replace the locked tick-timing buffer with a
lock-free ring.
- channel: HybridChannel::push and Sender::send now return () — overflow always
absorbs, never rejects — dropping the Result<(), T> surface and its callers.
- stats: tick_timings moves from Mutex<VecDeque> to a lock-free crossbeam
ArrayQueue (drop-oldest-on-full), removing the per-tick lock.
- ripple the signature change through worker/runtime/config; drop worker_benchmarks.
- expand runtime_api tests around the new channel/stats shapes.

Add a data-parallel MNIST training example where swactor actors coordinate gradient averaging across workers.
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/worker.py: add `MnistNet` MLP and `MnistWorker` actor handling `train_batch`/`update`/`evaluate`/`save_model` over a sharded MNIST split with SGD
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/aggregator.py: add `Aggregator` actor that buffers per-worker gradients, averages them, fans out updates, then logs/evaluates on completion
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/run_training.py: spawn the Aggregator plus two MnistWorkers (identical initial weights, disjoint shards), run 750 rounds, and poll the inbox for `log`/`done`
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/pyproject.toml: declare torch/torchvision/numpy deps, an editable local `swactor` source, and the PyTorch CPU index
- Cargo.toml: add a `[profile.bench]` retaining debug symbols (`debug = true`, `strip = false`) for profiling

- crates/runtime-dashboard/examples/bench_dashboard.rs: add an example driving sink/ring/spawner load scenarios through `start_dashboard`/`DashboardConfig` for sustained cross-worker visualization

Split the monolithic crate into a Cargo workspace with the Python and Wasm bindings as separate member crates.
- Cargo.toml: declare a `[workspace]` with members `.`/`crates/swactor-python`/`crates/swactor-wasm`, remove the `python` feature and pyo3 dependency, and change root crate-type from `["cdylib","rlib"]` to `["rlib"]`
- crates/swactor-python: new cdylib crate re-exporting the PyO3 bindings (Runtime/RuntimeConfig/RuntimeHandle/Inbox/Ctx/ActorAddress/RuntimeStats), depending on `swactor` + pyo3; pyproject.toml and uv.lock relocated here from the root
- crates/swactor-wasm: new cdylib crate moved from top-level `wasm/`, depending on `swactor` with `no_random` features
- src/actor.rs: widen `Actor::new`, `AnyActor`, `ContextInner`, and `Ctx::raw_inner` to `pub` so the separate binding crates can drive the runtime
- src/lib.rs: delete the in-tree `python` module and `#[pymodule]`, and gate the `no_random` RNG behind `all(feature = "no_random", not(feature = "getrandom"))`
- tools/: relocate package.json/package-lock.json; drop the now-duplicate `wasm/Cargo.lock`

Adds some basic benchmarking, stress tests. They still need to be properly examined to ensure they are testing the correct properties, but fit for "good enough". Implements the HybridChannel type, which features a channel buffer that can withstand overflows. It does so by providing a dequeue behind a mutex. Without overflow, will push messages into the lock free ArrayQueue implemented by crossbeam_queue; when that buffer fills, will use the locking portion provided by the Mutex<VecDequeue>.
In the future we can even further optimize this, perhaps with some linked list implementations of lock-free channels, but, like the benchmarks, this fits the "good enough" bar for now.

Did not like the requirement of a tokio runtime and async/await. Rewrote
to use lock free queues (`crossbeam_queue::ArrayQueue`) as the basic
primitive to enable a runtime consisting of many pseudo-processes that
can pass messages to each other.
