G03-RT: Yes
Rationale
With transport enabled and the selected recursive_prs setting, Reticulum 1.5.5 can propagate a path request for an unknown destination through other interfaces. Responses and announces populate learned path state. A transport node can therefore discover a requested route without first holding a complete catalog of all destination identities.
Assessment method
Primary specification and pinned code review; no runtime experiment
Source context
Selected discovery and pathfinder mechanisms
Outstanding qualification
The destination hash and authorized serial connectivity are supplied. Request tags, timeouts and ingress/egress limits constrain discovery; a request may fail. Learned paths and identity data still occupy memory. This establishes the absence of a mandatory complete catalog at every node, not bounded discovery work, guaranteed reachability or global capacity. G05 is unchanged.
