C03-TO: Yes

Rationale

Tor transports cells inside established TLS channels; relay command, stream identifier and length are additionally inside onion-encrypted relay bodies. A passive link observer does not receive these Tor control fields in cleartext. Outer IP/TCP/TLS framing and traffic patterns remain observable; bootstrap and statistical protocol recognition are outside C03.
