Subject: [PATCH] Fix `TIPC` two-host service example

A registrar root does not register itself in its own actor-name
registry, so host B could never discover the advertised `host_a`.
Boot that service as a child actor under the `TIPC` registrar
instead.

Import and pass the enabled `echo` callable to `.open_context()`;
the prior module-path string could not produce a `NamespacePath`.

Review: PR #493 (copilot-pull-request-reviewer[bot],goodboy)
https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/493

(this patch was generated in some part by `opencode` using
`gpt-5.6-sol` (`openai`))
