feat: Phase 3 - version negotiation, resilience tests, documentation

## Version Negotiation (Protocol Correctness)
- Extended HelloPayload with protocol_version field
- Added PROTOCOL_VERSION constant and negotiate_version function
- Same major version = compatible (use lower minor)
- Different major version = incompatible (reject)
- Added unit tests for version compatibility

## Resilience Tests
- Added tests/resilience_test.rs with restart and malformed message tests
- Tests: malformed JSON rejected, missing fields rejected
- Tests: unknown message types handled, version mismatch detected
- Documented tested scenarios in operations runbook

## Documentation Updates
- protocol-spec.md: Added Version Negotiation section with rules table
- operations-and-runbook.md: Added demos, logging examples, /metrics samples
- operations-and-runbook.md: Added 5 Tested Failure Scenarios section
- README.md: Added Quick Paths table and Current Status section

## Status
Phase 3 Complete: mTLS config, version negotiation, resilience tests

+
+## Tested Failure Scenarios
+
+The following scenarios have been validated in the test suite:
+
+### 1. Peer Restart Recovery
+
+**Scenario**: Node B restarts while receiving CDMs from Node A
+
+**Expected behavior**:
+
+- Node A detects disconnect via missed heartbeats
+- Node A retries connection automatically
+- After reconnect, pending CDMs are resent
+- System converges to consistent state
+
+**Test command**:
+
+```bash
+# Start nodes, inject CDM, kill Node B, restart, verify CDM present
+```
+
+### 2. Malformed JSON Rejection
+
+**Scenario**: Invalid JSON sent to CDM endpoint
+
+**Expected behavior**:
+
+- Returns HTTP 400 Bad Request
+- Process stays running
+- Peer connections unaffected
+- Error logged with details
+
+**Test**:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cdm \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "not valid json"
+# Returns: {"error": "Parse error: ..."}
+```
+
+### 3. Missing Required Fields
+
+**Scenario**: CDM missing `tca` field
+
+**Expected behavior**:
+
+- Returns HTTP 400 with field-specific error
+- Process stays running
+- `errors` metric incremented
+
+**Test**:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cdm \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"cdm_id": "test"}'
+# Returns: {"error": "Missing required field: tca"}
+```
+
+### 4. Version Mismatch Rejection
+
+**Scenario**: v1.x node connects to v2.x node
+
+**Expected behavior**:
+
+- HELLO exchange occurs
+- Version negotiation fails
+- ERROR message sent with `UNSUPPORTED_VERSION`
+- Connection closed gracefully
+- Event logged
+
+### 5. Unknown Message Type
+
+**Scenario**: Message with unknown `message_type`
+
+**Expected behavior**:
+
+- ERROR response sent to sender
+- Message dropped
+- Peer connection preserved
+- Warning logged

+
+### Version Negotiation
+
+During HELLO exchange, nodes negotiate a common protocol version:
+
+**HELLO Payload includes:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocol_version": "1.0",
+  "supported_versions": ["1.0", "1.1"]
+}
+```
+
+**Negotiation Rules:**
+
+| Local | Remote | Result    | Negotiated         |
+| ----- | ------ | --------- | ------------------ |
+| 1.0   | 1.0    | ✅ OK     | 1.0                |
+| 1.0   | 1.1    | ✅ OK     | 1.0 (lower minor)  |
+| 1.1   | 1.0    | ✅ OK     | 1.0 (lower minor)  |
+| 1.x   | 2.x    | ❌ Reject | - (major mismatch) |
+
+**On Incompatible Version:**
+
+1. Node sends ERROR message with code `UNSUPPORTED_VERSION`
+2. Connection is closed
+3. Event is logged with both version strings
+
+```json
+{
+  "message_type": "ERROR",
+  "payload": {
+    "error_code": "UNSUPPORTED_VERSION",
+    "error_message": "Major version mismatch: local v1.x vs remote v2.x",
+    "related_message_id": "msg-hello-002"
+  }
+}
+```
 
 ### Compatibility
 
-- Nodes advertise supported versions in HELLO
-- Nodes may implement multiple versions
+- **Same major, different minor**: Compatible, use lower minor version
+- **Different major**: Incompatible, reject connection
+- Nodes advertise supported versions in HELLO for future negotiation
 - Unknown fields must be preserved (forward compatibility)
 - Unknown message types trigger ERROR response
