Aranya Client API

The Aranya Client API is the library interface an application uses to talk to the Aranya daemon. It covers team creation, device onboarding and removal, role and permission management (including custom roles with rank-based authorization), label-based segmentation, sync-peer configuration over QUIC/TCP with certificate-based mTLS, and Aranya Fast Channels (AFC) encrypted send/receive channels. It is published in two bindings — a Rust API (aranya-client crate) and a C API (aranya-client.h, generated by cbindgen and documented with Doxygen). There is no HTTP surface: the client speaks to a local daemon over a Unix domain socket whose path is set by the caller via aranya_client_config_builder_set_daemon_uds_path.

x-base-url-finding: 'repair-api-bases.py returned `missing` on 2026-08-29 and the docs pass confirms the
  absence is real, not a gap: the Aranya Client API has NO network base URL to record. The client connects
  to a local Aranya daemon over a Unix domain socket whose path the caller supplies at runtime via aranya_client_config_builder_set_daemon_uds_path,
  and the daemon is run by the customer from a TOML config on their own hardware. api.spideroak.com resolves
  but returns 404 on every API path probed (/openapi.json, /swagger.json, /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs,
  /graphql, /redoc). Leaving baseURL unset rather than promoting spideroak.com, which would be a marketing
  base masquerading as an API host.'
