Research direction

Start by reviewing tailcat's current Go implementation and the linked tailscale-rs project to determine the library boundary and required data-plane behavior. Define the Rust library's scope and API, then verify that it provides the equivalent tailcat functionality without relying on Tailscale's control plane.
