feat: Phase 9 — developer experience, extensibility, and community growth

New crates:
- quicproquo-bot: Bot SDK with polling API + JSON pipe mode
- quicproquo-kt: Key Transparency Merkle log (RFC 9162 subset)
- quicproquo-plugin-api: no_std C-compatible plugin vtable API
- quicproquo-gen: scaffolding tool (qpq-gen plugin/bot/rpc/hook)

Server features:
- ServerHooks trait wired into all RPC handlers (enqueue, fetch, auth,
  channel, registration) with plugin rejection support
- Dynamic plugin loader (libloading) with --plugin-dir config
- Delivery proof canary tokens (Ed25519 server signatures on enqueue)
- Key Transparency Merkle log with inclusion proofs on resolveUser

Core library:
- Safety numbers (60-digit HMAC-SHA256 key verification codes)
- Verifiable transcript archive (CBOR + ChaCha20-Poly1305 + hash chain)
- Delivery proof verification utility
- Criterion benchmarks (hybrid KEM, MLS, identity, sealed sender, padding)

Client:
- /verify REPL command for out-of-band key verification
- Full-screen TUI via Ratatui (feature-gated --features tui)
- qpq export / qpq export-verify CLI subcommands
- KT inclusion proof verification on user resolution

Also: ROADMAP Phase 9 added, bot SDK docs, server hooks docs,
crate-responsibilities updated, example plugins (rate_limit, logging).

//! Encrypted, tamper-evident message transcript archive.
//!
//! # File format
//!
//! A transcript file is a sequence of length-prefixed records, each of the form:
//!
//! ```text
//! [ u32 len (BE) ][ ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphertext ]
//! ```
//!
//! Each record contains a CBOR-encoded [`RecordPlain`] as the plaintext:
//!
//! ```text
//! {
//! "epoch": u64, // monotonically increasing record index (0-based)
//! "sender_identity": bytes, // 32-byte Ed25519 public key (or empty)
//! "seq": u64, // message sequence number
//! "timestamp_ms": u64, // wall-clock timestamp
//! "plaintext": text, // UTF-8 message body
//! "prev_hash": bytes, // SHA-256 of the previous ciphertext (all zeros for epoch 0)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The AEAD nonce is `epoch` encoded as 12 bytes (big-endian u64 + 4 zero bytes).
//!
//! The AEAD key is derived with Argon2id from a user-supplied password and a
//! random 16-byte salt that is stored unencrypted in the file header:
//!
//! ```text
//! [ b"QPQT" (4) ][ version u8 = 1 ][ salt (16) ][ records... ]
//! ```
//!
//! # Tamper evidence
//!
//! Each record's plaintext contains the SHA-256 hash of the **ciphertext** of
//! the previous record, forming a hash chain. The verifier re-reads all
//! ciphertext blobs (no decryption needed) and checks that each record's
//! stored `prev_hash` matches the SHA-256 of the preceding ciphertext blob.
//!
//! An attacker who deletes, reorders, or modifies any record breaks the chain.
