rx_acked was used for two conflicting purposes:
1. remote ack of our sends (inflight = tx_seq - rx_acked)
2. our last sent ACK seq (dedup: rx_seq != rx_acked)
When the ack timer fired and set rx_acked = rx_seq, it overwrote
the inflight-tracking value. If rx_seq > tx_seq, the computation
tx_seq - rx_acked underflowed (e.g. 18 - 24 = 0xFFFFFFFA),
permanently blocking router_drain_send_q and causing send_q to
grow indefinitely.
Fix:
- Split rx_acked into tx_acked (remote ack, for inflight) and
last_sent_ack_seq (our ACK, for dedup)
- Incoming ACK handler only advances tx_acked forward (stale guard)
- Use int32_t cast on all inflight comparisons to handle stale states
- Add etcp_router architecture diagram (doc/etcp_router_arch.md)
