NoRouter: instant multi-cluster & multi-cloud container networking

" summary

Describes NoRouter, a networking stack that tunnels raw IP packets over stdio shell connections (kubectl exec, docker exec, ssh) to provide instant multi-cluster and multi-cloud container networking without routing configuration or root privileges. Targets developer environments and requires deploying a single binary plus a short YAML manifest to connect containers, VMs, or bare-metal machines from a laptop.
