"""Structural analysis of the IDS-CAN command-auth challenge->response map.

Black-box: decide what the captured (challenge, response) pairs can and cannot
tell us about f, where response = f(challenge). Pure stdlib.

Usage:  ./analyze_auth.py [pairfile ...]
Default: loads 2A-auth-pairs.txt + auth-pairs-multinode-2026-06-11.txt (51 pairs).

Pair-file format: lines of "<challenge_hex> <response_hex>", optionally prefixed
with a node label ("<node> <challenge> <response>"); '#' comments ignored.
