+  lease catalogs, stream catalogs, and RUDP client/server construction. Kotlin
+  also parses advertised `rudp://host:port` endpoints and can build a RUDP
+  client directly from a peer card contact hint. The facade delegates to the
+  same owners as the top-level helpers instead of creating a second authority
+  path.
 - The remaining parity work is to move the remaining TCP/LiteNetLib/WebSocket
   service bodies behind their shared transport ports, then broaden RUDP interop
   into automatic reconnect orchestration and the wider schema-message matrix.

 Kotlin also exposes the shared reconnect-policy helper for peers that need a
 portable backoff document without inventing a JVM-only delay dialect:
