Aura's own data path over plain UDP, authenticated solely by the existing Aura
PQ handshake (hybrid X25519+ML-KEM-768 + mutual X.509) — no QUIC, no outer TLS.
- One UDP socket, two phases by type byte: 0x01 HS (reliable handshake), 0x02
DATA (datagram records). HS = DTLS-flight reliability over UDP: per-message
seq, cumulative acks, retransmit (RTO), reorder/dedup, post-handshake linger;
message boundaries parsed from the 5-byte Aura header. DATA = one explicit-
nonce AEAD record per datagram (seq||AEAD), replay-checked, optional padding to
HTTPS size buckets (obfuscation).
- UdpServer/UdpClient/UdpConnection (impl PacketConnection, concurrent send/recv).
v1: single peer per accept (multi-client demux is a follow-up).
- 5 adapter unit tests + udp loopback end-to-end (obfuscation on, 1300B/empty/
duplex) + handshake-survives-30%-loss-and-reorder. No new deps. QUIC tests
preserved. Whole workspace builds; clippy/fmt clean.

Worktree isolation is unavailable in this environment, so make Wave 3 safe for
same-tree parallel work instead: the PacketConnection contract now lives in
aura-proto (stable) and aura-tunnel no longer depends on aura-transport. With
transport and tunnel both depending only on proto (and not each other), the two
crates are independent leaves and can be built/edited concurrently without one
breaking the other's build. proto: 13 tests still green.

Define the async PacketConnection trait (send_packet/recv_packet over &self)
that aura-tunnel's router consumes and the QUIC connection will implement.
Committed before Wave 3 so the transport and tunnel agents build against a
stable cross-crate contract from isolated worktrees.

- 6-crate Cargo workspace, dependency tree frozen (cargo check green in ~1m)
- ml-kem 0.3 (FIPS 203) replaces spec's pqcrypto-kyber for ML-KEM-768
- fix invalid target-gated workspace.dependencies: Windows deps (wintun/windows)
declared untargeted, cfg-gated per-crate in aura-tunnel
- version bumps vs spec: tun 0.8, rcgen 0.14, wintun 0.5
- stub lib/main per crate; real implementations land wave by wave
