// attack_vectors_test.go — Base Network adversarial test suite.
//
// Every test in this file follows the same contract:
//
//   - Deterministic setup. rand.New(rand.NewSource(42)) only. No wall-clock
//     flakes, no port bindings, no external services.
//   - PASSES when the defence is present. FAILS with a clear attack
//     description when regressed.
//   - When the defence is not yet landed (blue's R1..R8 in flight), the
//     test t.Skip()s with the canonical reason string
//     "BLOCKED: waiting on blue feat/network-v0-redfix".
//     CI treats any other skip reason as a hard failure.
//
// Groups (see NETWORK_RED_REVIEW.md#attack-suite-catalog for the full table):
//   1. Consensus / frame / envelope integrity
//   2. P2P / transport
//   3. Archive / PITR
//   4. Shard routing / isolation
//   5. Resource exhaustion / DoS
//   6. Encryption / KMS
//   7. Operator / CRD / k8s
//   8. Correctness under concurrency
//
// The suite is plumbed into CI at .github/workflows/network-attack-suite.yml
// which blocks merge on any FAIL, any skip reason other than the blocked
// reason, or any missing expected test name.
