The cross-machine mesh failures were NOT a quinn bug. Proven: a process detached
from a session (nohup over SSH) is denied permission to initiate outbound
local-network connections on macOS 15/26; the same binary on the same machine
succeeds when launched session-attached (foreground SSH, GUI login, or launchd).
Reproduced accept-then-dial succeeding on a machine that 'failed' every detached
run, just by attaching it. The 'M4/M5 vs M3' pattern was an artifact of which
host ran locally (login session) vs via detached SSH — two identical M3 Studios
disagreed once controlled for. Renamed the doc and retracted quinn-rs/quinn#2685.
The consensus logic and the star mode are unaffected and correct.
