Step 1: repo skeleton

Rust rewrite of ipodderx-core: cargo project, pinned dependency set,
MIT license carrying the original 2010 copyright, README lineage note,
and PROGRESS.md as the resumable build record.

Dependency tree is rustls-only: librqbit's default features pull in
native-tls and an OpenSSL sha1 backend, so it is built with rust-tls.

+# ipodderx-rs
+
+A headless podcatcher: scans RSS/Atom feeds, downloads enclosures (HTTP and BitTorrent),
+files them into per-feed folders, and reaps old episodes to stay under a disk quota.
+Runs as a one-shot CLI or as a daemon with a Unix-socket JSON event stream for a UI to attach to.
+
+## Lineage
+
+This is a modern Rust rewrite of [ipodderx-core](https://git.sdf1.net/rays/ipodderx-core), the
+Python 2 engine behind **iPodderX** (2004-2008, Ray Slakinski & August Trometer), which was
+open-sourced under the MIT License in 2010.
+
+What carries over: the feed scan and TTL handling, GUID/URL dedupe, per-feed and per-date download
+folders, keyword filters, the explicit-content filter, torrent enclosures, and "SmartSpace" — the
+oldest-first disk quota reaper.
+
+What does not: iTunes and iPhoto export via AppleScript, text-to-speech enclosures, the Windows
+WMP/COM paths, XML plists and Python pickles for state, the `directory.iPodderX.com` survey ping,
+3DES-encrypted preferences, and the `printMSG` stdout protocol (replaced by a JSON-lines socket).
+
+## Status
+
+Under construction. See [PROGRESS.md](PROGRESS.md) for what works today.
+
+## Configuration
+
+`~/.config/ipx/config.toml`, state in `~/.local/share/ipx/state.db`. See PROGRESS.md until the
+usage section lands.
+
+## License
+
+MIT. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).
