Protocol v2: trusted-peer push, truthful partials, split downloads
Three capabilities the iroh-blobs 0.103 line makes possible:
- Push (new API surface, protocol v2): `Push { hash, node_id }` hands
fully-present content to a trusted peer, unprompted. Consent is
mutual — the sender pushes only to peers it trusts, and the receiver
(which now accepts connections unconditionally and gates per request)
admits pushes only from peers *it* trusts, deferring with RateLimited
while metered. An accepted push is pinned by the receiver (default
policy, format inferred from the request ranges) once its transfer
completes, and surfaces as a PushReceived event. Because QUIC writes
are fire-and-forget, the sender confirms delivery by observing the
receiver's bitfields (root + last hashseq child) before replying —
Pushed { bytes } means verified received, not merely sent. New
varde-ctl `push` command.
- Truthful partial presence: Status/List report bytes actually present
and verified for partial blobs, from the store's bitfields via
observe, instead of the old "0 until complete".
- Split downloads: multi-provider fetches stripe one request across
providers (SplitStrategy::Split) instead of trying them serially.
Trusted peers may observe bitfields even when serving is disabled or
metered — bitfields are metadata, and push confirmation rides on them.
