When a private message has no reachable transport, the router now seals it
to the recipient's Noise static key (new one-way Noise X pattern) and hands
the envelope to up to three connected mutual favorites. Couriers store the
opaque ciphertext under strict quotas (20 total, 5 per depositor, 16 KiB,
24 h) and hand it over when the recipient's announce matches a rotating
HMAC recipient tag; the recipient opens it and the message flows through
the normal private-message pipeline, so dedup and delivery acks just work.

- CourierEnvelope TLV + courierEnvelope (0x04) message type in BitFoundation
- Noise X one-way pattern reusing the existing handshake machinery,
  domain-separated by a courier prologue; sender identity authenticated
  via the ss DH (no forward secrecy - documented tradeoff)
- CourierStore with eviction, file persistence, and panic-wipe integration
- Rotating recipient tags (HMAC over epoch day) so carried envelopes don't
  correlate for observers who don't already know the recipient's key
- New "carried" delivery status with figure.walk glyph; header indicator
  while carrying mail for others
- Three-node end-to-end test ferrying packets through real BLEService
  instances, plus codec/crypto/store/router suites (986 tests green)
