BGP-style path advertisement and best-path selection for the HSTLES fleet mesh and the ORBTR agent mesh.
- PathAdvertisement — dual-signed records (NodeID + per-path key) advertising reachable peers + AS-path-style hop sequences with community tags
- Best-path selector — RFC4271 §9.1 simplified: prefer lowest hop count, then lowest RTT, then lexicographic NodeID for deterministic tie-break
- RFC2439 damping — flap-damping for unstable paths (penalty accumulation, suppress/reuse thresholds)
- Forwarding table — fast
BestPath(target)lookup - Network scoping — multi-network agent fabric: filter candidates by network membership
