Document two potential future applications - #10
Merged
Conversation
A Tailscale-style mesh VPN and file transfer both fall out of the existing design without further protocol changes: the transport frames already cover peer discovery/NAT traversal/relay fallback (the same coordination role Tailscale's control plane plays around WireGuard), and core/data's have/request/entries frames are already a chunk-exchange pattern generalised from Cascade's own BEP lineage. Neither is built, reserved, or committed to, unlike the three real consumers in Implementations.

Adds a "Potential future applications" section describing two things the existing design already supports without further protocol changes, neither committed or built: a Tailscale-style mesh VPN (the transport frames already cover the coordination layer Tailscale's control plane and DERP relays provide around WireGuard) and file transfer (core/data's have/request/entries frames are already a chunk-exchange pattern generalised from Cascade's own BEP lineage).
