feat: prototype of ipfs config support for auto

- tests need manual inspection / being more DRY / reusable for future
  migrations
- need to see if all CI tests pass

+# AutoConfig Library
+
+This package provides a client library for fetching and caching IPFS autoconfig.json files. It's designed to be generic and self-contained for easy extraction to the boxo library later.
+
+## Features
+
+- **HTTP Client**: Configurable HTTP client with timeout, user-agent, and TLS options
+- **Caching**: Intelligent caching with ETag/Last-Modified support and version rotation
+- **Version Management**: Automatic cleanup of old cached versions
+- **Path Safety**: Sanitized cache directory structure based on URL hostname
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallback to cached versions when remote fetch fails
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```go
+import "github.com/ipfs/kubo/boxo/autoconfig"
+
+// Create a client with default options
+client, err := autoconfig.NewClient()
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+
+// Fetch the latest config
+config, err := client.GetLatest(ctx, "https://config.ipfs-mainnet.org/autoconfig.json")
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+
+// Use the config
+fmt.Printf("Bootstrap peers: %v\n", config.Bootstrap)
+```
+
+### With Custom Options
+
+```go
+client, err := autoconfig.NewClient(
+    autoconfig.WithCacheDir("/path/to/cache"),
+    autoconfig.WithUserAgent("my-app/1.0"),
+    autoconfig.WithCacheSize(5),
+    autoconfig.WithTimeout(10*time.Second),
+)
+```
+
+### Integration with Applications
+
+This library is designed to be integrated into applications that need autoconfig functionality. The client is generic and does not depend on any specific application framework.
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    client, err := autoconfig.NewClient(
+        autoconfig.WithCacheDir("/app/data/autoconfig"),
+        autoconfig.WithUserAgent("myapp/1.2.3"),
+        autoconfig.WithTimeout(10*time.Second),
+    )
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+
+    config, err := client.GetLatest(context.Background(), "https://config.ipfs-mainnet.org/autoconfig.json")
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+
+    fmt.Printf("Bootstrap peers: %v\n", config.Bootstrap)
+    fmt.Printf("DNS resolvers: %v\n", config.DNSResolvers)
+}
+```
+
+### Background Updates
+
+For applications that need periodic config updates, use the background updater:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    client, err := autoconfig.NewClient(
+        autoconfig.WithCacheDir("/app/data/autoconfig"),
+        autoconfig.WithUserAgent("myapp/1.2.3"),
+    )
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+
+    // Create background updater with custom callbacks
+    updater, err := autoconfig.NewBackgroundUpdater(client, "https://config.ipfs-mainnet.org/autoconfig.json",
+        autoconfig.WithUpdateInterval(6*time.Hour), // Check every 6 hours
+        autoconfig.WithOnVersionChange(func(oldVersion, newVersion int64, configURL string) {
+            fmt.Printf("New config version %d available (was %d) - consider restarting\n", newVersion, oldVersion)
+        }),
+        autoconfig.WithOnUpdateSuccess(func(resp *autoconfig.AutoConfigResponse) {
+            fmt.Printf("Updated config cache at %s\n", resp.FetchTime.Format(time.RFC3339))
+        }),
+        autoconfig.WithOnUpdateError(func(err error) {
+            fmt.Printf("Update failed: %v\n", err)
+        }),
+    )
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+
+    ctx := context.Background()
+    if err := updater.Start(ctx); err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer updater.Stop()
+
+    // Your application logic here...
+    select {}
+}
+```
+
+## Cache Structure
+
+The cache is organized by hostname and version:
+
+```
+$CACHE_DIR/
+  autoconfig/
+    config.ipfs-mainnet.org/
+      2025071801.json
+      2025071802.json
+      .etag
+      .last-modified
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Client Options
+- `WithCacheDir(dir)`: Set custom cache directory
+- `WithHTTPClient(client)`: Use custom HTTP client
+- `WithCacheSize(n)`: Set maximum cached versions (default: 3)
+- `WithUserAgent(ua)`: Set HTTP user-agent
+- `WithTimeout(duration)`: Set HTTP timeout (default: 5s)
+- `WithTLSInsecureSkipVerify(bool)`: Skip TLS verification (for testing)
+
+### Background Updater Options
+- `WithUpdateInterval(duration)`: Set update check interval (default: 24h)
+- `WithOnVersionChange(callback)`: Called when new config version is detected
+- `WithOnUpdateSuccess(callback)`: Called on successful update for metadata persistence
+- `WithOnUpdateError(callback)`: Called when update fails
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The client implements graceful fallback:
+1. Try to fetch from remote URL
+2. If remote fails, fall back to latest cached version
+3. If no cache exists, return error with details
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+go test .
+```
+
+## Future Extraction
+
+This package is designed to be extracted to `github.com/ipfs/boxo` with no changes needed. It has no application-specific dependencies.
