fhelium.distributed._transfer ​

Metadata descriptors and receiver allocation for distributed transfers.

The distributed wire protocol carries a serialized value description plus transport-specific tensor allocation metadata. The protocol version is independent of the durable value schema version: changing one does not imply a change to the other. Raw torch.Tensor remains a transport-only special case and is not part of the FHElium value schema.
