//! Remote Protocol Extensions
//!
//! This module extends the core NodeRemote functionality with high-level operations
//! for managing connections, file transfers, and peer interactions in the Citadel
//! Protocol network.
//!
//! # Features
//! - User registration and authentication
//! - Connection management
//! - File transfer operations
//! - Virtual filesystem support
//! - Peer discovery and management
//! - Group communication
//! - Security settings configuration
//!
//! # Example
//! ```rust
//! use citadel_sdk::prelude::*;
//!
//! async fn example<R: Ratchet>(remote: NodeRemote<R>) -> Result<(), NetworkError> {
//!     // Register a new user
//!     let reg = remote.register_with_defaults(
//!         "127.0.0.1:25021",
//!         "John Doe",
//!         "john.doe",
//!         "password123"
//!     ).await?;
//!
//!     // Connect to a peer
//!     let auth = AuthenticationRequest::credentialed("john.doe", "password123");
//!     let conn = remote.connect_with_defaults(auth).await?;
//!
//!     // Send a file to a peer
//!     remote.find_target("john.doe", "peer.name")
//!         .await?
//!         .send_file("/path/to/file.txt")
//!         .await?;
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Important Notes
//! - All operations are asynchronous
//! - Connections are automatically managed
//! - File transfers support chunking
//! - Virtual filesystem is encrypted
//! - Peer connections require mutual registration
