Hybrid padding rule (slots + body, same shape):
- <=256 real units: pad to next power of 2 (8, 16, ..., 256)
- >256 real units: pad to real + rand(0..=256) / nearest 256KB
Replaces Layer 2 round 2's rand(32..=128). Small authors/posts get
strong bucket-grouping; large authors/posts get probabilistic noise
without 2x bandwidth waste of pure power-of-2 at scale.
Layer 3 resolutions:
- Custom mode deferred; v1 ships Public / Friends-only / FoF only
- Slot dedup at V_x byte level (one slot per unique key)
- Body-length padding adopted
