The current transport table (Section 5.5) covers IP-based and parasitic transports but omits physical media exchange (USB drives, HDDs, phone-to-phone transfer).Sneakernet is the most resilient transport tier — it functions even in countries with near-zero internet access (Cuba's weekly "paquete" distribution is a real-world example at national scale). Near-impossible to block without prohibiting personal devices entirely.Proposal: add sneakernet to the transport table as TRUST_SOVEREIGN, async-only, very high bandwidth. Implementation surface: DAG subgraph bundle export/import, content-addressed deduplication on import, signature verification (no trust to the carrier, only to the author). The bundle format could be shared with DTN relay (see related issue).
