TSPU/DPI/VPN detectability scanner, v2.8.1 (correctness patch).

fix: traceroute "TSPU mgmt-subnet" removed from the verdict

earlier versions penalised the score (and raised a TSPU-verdict B-tier hit) when a traceroute hop landed in 10.X.Y.[131-235]/[241-245]/254, calling it a "TSPU management subnet on the path". that was wrong (thanks to the reporter on ntc.party):

  • TSPU is a bump-in-the-wire DPI box, transparent at L3: it does not decrement TTL and never appears as its own traceroute hop, so it cannot be detected by trace at all.
  • 10.x hops are ordinary operator link addressing and mean nothing about TSPU.

so the score penalty and the TSPU mgmt-subnet in traceroute verdict rule are both removed. private-10.x hops are now an honest informational note only (no score impact, no TSPU-tier impact). the count is still in --json for reference.

everything else is unchanged from v2.8.0. 76 unit tests / 3299 assertions green under -Werror.
