+//! # PEZkurd-P2Pmessage Pezpallet
+//!
+//! Ephemeral, end-to-end encrypted P2P messaging on PezkuwiChain.
+//!
+//! ## Purpose
+//!
+//! Provides censorship-resistant communication for Kurdish people,
+//! especially those under digital blackout by hostile regimes.
+//! Messages are encrypted client-side (XChaCha20-Poly1305) and
+//! automatically purged from chain state at era boundaries.
+//!
+//! ## Design Principles
+//!
+//! - **Zero Trace**: Messages deleted every era. No permanent record.
+//! - **E2E Encrypted**: Only recipient can decrypt. Chain sees ciphertext only.
+//! - **Fee-Free**: Citizens with sufficient trust score pay no fees.
+//! - **Forward Secrecy**: Ephemeral x25519 keys per message.
+//! - **Spam-Resistant**: Rate limiting + citizenship + trust score requirements.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! ```text

+//! └──────────────────┘                   └─────────────────────┘
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Extrinsics
+//!
+//! - `register_encryption_key(x25519_public_key)` — Register/update messaging public key
+//! - `send_message(to, ephemeral_pub, nonce, ciphertext)` — Send encrypted message
+//! - `acknowledge_messages()` — Clear own inbox (optional, early cleanup)
+//!
+//! ## Encryption (Client-Side)
+//!
+//! 1. Sender generates ephemeral x25519 keypair
+//! 2. ECDH: shared_secret = ephemeral_private × recipient_public
+//! 3. KDF: message_key = HKDF-SHA256(shared_secret)
+//! 4. Encrypt: XChaCha20-Poly1305(plaintext, message_key, random_nonce)
+//! 5. Submit: (ephemeral_public, nonce, ciphertext) via extrinsic
