v0.8.4

Rust safety and formal verification

• Refactored unsafe-adjacent Rust logic into proof-friendly pure models for outbound admission, pending writes, connection IDs, recv-buffer accounting, cmsg cursor walking, and io_uring provided-buffer layout.
• Added Kani contracts and bounded harnesses for admission accounting, pending-write release accounting, cmsg cursor bounds, recv-buffer capacity, QUIC-LB CID encoding, and provided-buffer range validation.
• Added standalone Verus sidecar proofs with a bootstrap/smoke path that installs and verifies against the latest Verus binary locally.
• Added structured fuzz targets, Miri smoke coverage, sanitizer scripts, and a Rust safety CI workflow for the new proof/fuzz lanes.

Correctness

• Fixed deferred-FIN outbound admission accounting so a full payload write whose FIN is not accepted keeps one admission unit held until the FIN is accepted.
• Fixed the Docker curl interop harness so header capture no longer depends on /dev/stderr being openable by a spawned curl process.

Release metadata

• Bumped the package line to 0.8.4, including Cargo metadata, native sidecar package manifests, and root optional sidecar pins.
• Updated the minimum supported Rust version and Clippy MSRV setting to 1.95.
• Hardened npm release publishing so the latest/canary dist-tag mirror can use either NPM_TOKEN or NODE_AUTH_TOKEN.
