Introduce a gossip-converged pooled datastore protocol layered on SWIM piggybacking, backed by a reusable gossip-channel abstraction, plus a Docker-free multi-process cluster test runner.
- crates/distribution/src/gossip_channel.rs: add the GossipChannel trait (piggyback on SWIM messages) and a budget-limited DisseminationBuffer<T> that replaces the four duplicated Lambda*ceil(log2(n)) dissemination copies
- crates/datastore/src/pool: add PoolDisseminator (CRDT state for membership/capacity/content-location/ACL with join/leave/announce) and PoolCoordinator (placement-aware CRUD actor delegating to the co-located DatastoreNode)
- crates/shared-types/src/pool.rs: add shared pool protocol types (PoolId plus member/capacity/content-location/ACL entries and PoolConfig) consumed by both distribution and datastore
- crates/dashboard/src/pool_html.rs: add a live pool dashboard page (membership, capacity, content locations) and add pool_tests integration coverage
- xtask/src/sim_cluster.rs: add the sim-cluster runner that spawns N swactor nodes over iroh through a local relay server, reusing the docker cluster scenarios without Docker
- crates/distribution/src/iroh_driver.rs: add relay-URL resolution (cache, then SWIM gossip, then home relay) with a 2s connect timeout to back the relay-based connections

Make distribution and deployment more stable. Consolidate the logic for a generic swactor node.

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.
