Add Nostr-mediated overlay discovery and UDP NAT traversal (#53)

Optional peer discovery and NAT hole-punching path gated behind a new
`nostr-discovery` cargo feature. Nodes publish signed overlay endpoint
adverts to public Nostr relays, consume peer adverts to populate
fallback dial addresses, and use STUN-assisted UDP hole punching with
NIP-59 gift-wrap offer/answer signaling to establish direct UDP paths
between NATed peers. Once a punched socket is up, it is handed into
the existing FIPS UDP transport and the standard Noise/FMP session
stack takes over unchanged.

The cargo feature is in the default feature set
(`default = ["nostr-discovery"]`) so stock builds include it; a
build that explicitly disables default features (or selects a
feature set without `nostr-discovery`) does not link the nostr /
nostr-sdk crates and does not emit a no-op poll in the tick loop.
Runtime behavior is independently gated by
`node.discovery.nostr.enabled`, which defaults to false; if the
config enables Nostr on a non-feature build, startup logs a
warning and continues without it.

== Cargo feature and dependencies

- New cargo feature `nostr-discovery = ["dep:nostr", "dep:nostr-sdk"]`.
  Not in the default feature set.
- New optional Linux-only dependencies: `nostr 0.44` (features: std,
  nip59) and `nostr-sdk 0.44`. Gift-wrap unwrap is hand-rolled in
  `src/discovery/nostr/signal.rs` rather than relying on the SDK's
  rumor-author check, which FIPS sidesteps by trusting `seal.pubkey`
  exclusively.

== Wire format

Overlay advert event: `kind 37195`, parameterized replaceable
(NIP-01 application-defined replaceable range 30000-39999), with
`d = "fips-overlay-v1"`. The digits visually spell FIPS (7=F, 1=I,
9=P, 5=S); a relay survey confirmed the kind is unused.

Advert content carries the version tag, endpoint list
(`udp|tcp|tor` + addr), optional signal-relay and stun-server
metadata, and `issuedAt` / `expiresAt` timestamps. Endpoint
`addr: "nat"` is the sentinel that triggers traversal on the peer
side. NIP-40 `expiration` tag bounds staleness on permanent
shutdown. Lifecycle relies on parameterized-replaceable
supersession; the daemon does not emit NIP-09 kind-5 deletes —
strict relays (Damus, Primal) race delete-against-replace and can
silently drop the replacement.

Gift-wrapped signal event: `kind 21059`. Punch packets carry magic
values `PUNCH_MAGIC` / `PUNCH_ACK_MAGIC`, a sequence number, and a
16-byte session hash.

== Discovery surface

- `src/discovery.rs` (always compiled)
  - `EstablishedTraversal`: bound UDP socket + selected remote +
    peer npub + optional transport name/config tuning overrides.
  - `BootstrapHandoffResult`: returned on successful handoff —
    allocated transport id, local/remote addrs, peer NodeAddr,
    session id.
- `src/discovery/nostr/` (`#![cfg(feature = "nostr-discovery")]`)
  - `types.rs`: wire and control types described above. `ADVERT_KIND`
    constant. `BootstrapError` enumerates failure modes (disabled,
    missing advert, missing NAT endpoint, no usable relays, invalid
    advert, invalid npub, signal timeout, punch timeout, replay,
    STUN failure, protocol, nostr, io, serde, event-parse).
  - `runtime.rs`: `NostrDiscovery` coordinator. Owns the shared
    nostr-sdk `Client`, subscribes to advert + signal event kinds,
    maintains a bounded advert cache and a bounded seen-sessions
    replay set, drains `BootstrapEvent::{Established, Failed}` for
    the node to consume, exposes `update_local_advert`,
    `request_connect`, `advert_endpoints_for_peer`,
    `cached_open_discovery_candidates`, and `shutdown`.
  - `signal.rs`: NIP-59 gift-wrap encode/decode. Outbound wraps are
    built against per-attempt ephemeral keys; inbound events are
    unwrapped against the node identity.
  - `stun.rs`: RFC 5389/8489 Binding Request client with
    XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS parsing for both IPv4 and IPv6; used only to
    observe the initiator's own reflexive address against its
    locally configured STUN list (peer-advertised STUN is
    informational, never an egress target).
  - `traversal.rs`: per-attempt candidate-pair punch planner.
    Allocates a fresh `0.0.0.0:0` UDP socket per attempt, enumerates
    LAN-private and ULA interface addresses alongside the STUN
    reflexive address, schedules probe/ack exchanges at the
    configured interval for the configured duration, and picks the
    first candidate pair that authenticates end-to-end.

Strategy ordering is Reflexive↔Reflexive first, then LAN, then
Mixed. The STUN-observed pair is the only candidate that's reliable
across arbitrary network topologies; trying it first prevents the
planner from latching onto a misleading host-candidate path before
the reflexive path gets a chance. There is no catch-all
Local↔Local strategy: a previous design that paired every local
host candidate from one side with every local host candidate from
the other could declare success on a one-way reachable asymmetric
L3 path (corporate VPN, Tailscale subnet route, overlapping private
address space), only for the FMP handshake to stall because the
return path didn't match. The legitimate `Lan` strategy still pairs
candidates that share a subnet.

== Configuration surface

`node.discovery.nostr.*` (`NostrDiscoveryConfig`), all `serde(default)`
with `deny_unknown_fields`:

- `enabled` (default false), `advertise` (default true)
- `advert_relays`, `dm_relays`, `stun_servers`: defaults are
  `wss://relay.damus.io`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://offchain.pub`
  for both relay lists, and Google / Cloudflare / Twilio for STUN.
  Operators are expected to override for production. Other
  verified-working public relays for reference:
  `nostr.bitcoiner.social`, `nostr-pub.wellorder.net`,
  `nostr.oxtr.dev`, `nostr.mom`.
- `app` (default `"fips-overlay-v1"`), `signal_ttl_secs` (120)
- `policy`: `NostrDiscoveryPolicy::{Disabled, ConfiguredOnly (default),
  Open}` — controls whether advert-derived endpoints are consumed
  only for peers carrying `via_nostr = true`, or also for
  non-configured peers within a budget cap.
- `share_local_candidates` (default false) — when false, the offer's
  `local_addresses` list is empty and peers see only the reflexive
  address. Enable per-node only for genuinely same-LAN deployments;
  off-by-default eliminates the misleading-path failure mode for
  the common case where peers are not on the same broadcast domain.
- `open_discovery_max_pending` (64) — caps queued open-discovery
  retries; bounded by available outbound slots.
- `max_concurrent_incoming_offers` (16) — semaphore against offer
  spam; excess offers are debug-logged and dropped.
- `advert_cache_max_entries` (2048) and `seen_sessions_max_entries`
  (2048) — bound memory under ambient relay volume; overflow
  evictions are debug-logged.
- `attempt_timeout_secs` (10), `replay_window_secs` (300)
- `punch_start_delay_ms` (2000), `punch_interval_ms` (200),
  `punch_duration_ms` (10000)
- `advert_ttl_secs` (3600), `advert_refresh_secs` (1800)

Per-peer and per-transport flags:

- `PeerConfig.via_nostr: bool` — when true (and Nostr is enabled),
  advert-derived addresses are appended as fallback dial candidates
  after static addresses for that peer.
- `PeerConfig.addresses` is now `serde(default)` and may be empty
  when `via_nostr: true`; validation requires at least one of the
  two to be present per peer, and the error message names the
  peer's npub.
- `UdpConfig.advertise_on_nostr: Option<bool>` and
  `UdpConfig.public: Option<bool>` — UDP transports can be
  advertised either as direct `host:port` (public = true) or as the
  `addr: "nat"` sentinel that triggers rendezvous on the peer side.
- `TcpConfig.advertise_on_nostr` and `TorConfig.advertise_on_nostr`
  — TCP and Tor onion endpoints can be advertised as directly
  reachable.
- A reserved peer address `transport: udp, addr: "nat"` parses without
  special-casing in YAML and routes through the bootstrap runtime.

Cross-field validation (`Config::validate`, called from `Node::new`
and `Node::with_identity`):

- Any transport with `advertise_on_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- Any peer with `via_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- A non-public UDP advert (`advertise_on_nostr = true`,
  `public = false` — i.e. `udp:nat`) additionally requires at least
  one `dm_relay` and at least one `stun_server`.
  Surfaced as `ConfigError::Validation`.

== Node integration

`src/node/lifecycle.rs` is the main integration point.

- At node start (after transports are up, before TUN), if Nostr is
  enabled and the feature is compiled in, `NostrDiscovery::start` is
  invoked, the initial local overlay advert is built from the live
  transport set and published, and the runtime handle is stored.
- The rx tick loop calls `poll_nostr_discovery` (feature-gated both
  at method definition and call site), which refreshes the local
  advert, drains bootstrap events, adopts established traversals,
  schedules retries for failed traversals, and — under `policy:
  open` — enqueues outbound retries for non-configured peers
  visible in the advert cache, bounded by
  `open_discovery_max_pending` and the remaining outbound slots.
- Outbound peer dialing is refactored to `try_peer_addresses`, which
  first exhausts the static address list in priority order and only
  then appends advert-derived fallback addresses; both lists run
  through the same `attempt_peer_address_list` code path. The
  `udp:nat` sentinel address triggers `NostrDiscovery::request_connect`
  for the peer instead of a direct dial and returns `Ok(())`.
- `build_overlay_advert` walks operational transports, consults
  per-instance `UdpConfig` / `TcpConfig` / `TorConfig` (matching by
  optional transport instance name), and emits an `OverlayAdvert`
  including `signalRelays` and `stunServers` when any UDP endpoint
  is advertised as NAT.
- `adopt_established_traversal` is the bootstrap handoff API:
  allocates a new `TransportId`, constructs a `UdpTransport` with
  the user-supplied (or default) `UdpConfig`, calls the new
  `adopt_socket_async` to reuse the punched socket verbatim,
  registers the transport in the normal transport map, records it
  in `bootstrap_transports`, and calls `initiate_connection` so the
  normal handshake path runs. On failure, the transport is stopped
  and removed cleanly and the set membership is rolled back.
- On clean shutdown, `NostrDiscovery::shutdown` is awaited so
  background tasks stop before transports are torn down. (The
  advert is not explicitly retracted; NIP-40 expiration plus the
  next refresh from any live publisher supersedes it.)

New `Node` fields:

- `nostr_discovery: Option<Arc<NostrDiscovery>>` (feature-gated).
- `bootstrap_transports: HashSet<TransportId>` — per-peer UDP
  transports adopted from NAT traversal, cleaned up via
  `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` whenever the link,
  connection, peer, or pending-connect referencing them is removed.

Retry and error surface:

- `RetryState.expires_at_ms: Option<u64>` — optional absolute expiry
  for a retry entry. `pump_retries` drops expired entries with an
  info log. Used for open-discovery retries, which expire at two
  times the advert TTL.
- New `NodeError::BootstrapHandoff(String)` returned from
  `adopt_established_traversal` when the underlying transport
  adoption fails or local address discovery fails.
- New `ConfigError::Validation(String)`.
- A small refactor extracts `Node::now_ms()` and reuses it across
  lifecycle, rx-loop tick, and timeout bookkeeping.

== UDP transport

`src/transport/udp/`:

- `UdpRawSocket::adopt(std::net::UdpSocket, recv_buf, send_buf)`:
  adopts an externally bound socket, makes it non-blocking, applies
  the configured buffer sizes (warning if the kernel clamps), and
  reports the resulting local address. Preserves the NAT mapping —
  no rebind.
- `UdpTransport::adopt_socket_async(std::net::UdpSocket)`: the
  `start_async` analogue for an already-bound socket, wiring the
  async socket and recv task exactly as the fresh-bind path would.
- `Drop` impl for `UdpTransport`: if a transport is dropped while
  still holding a recv task or socket (for example on error
  teardown), aborts the task, clears the socket, and emits a debug
  log so the cleanup is visible in tracing rather than silent.

== Logging and observability

Default `EnvFilter` demotes third-party relay-pool DEBUG output to
TRACE-only: `nostr_relay_pool`, `nostr_sdk`, and `nostr` are pinned
at INFO when our level is anything below TRACE, and at TRACE when
our level is TRACE — so the raw frames are still reachable when
explicitly asked for. RUST_LOG continues to override completely.

Concise one-line DEBUG events are emitted at the meaningful points
in the discovery / hole-punch sequence:

- `advert: published` (event id, relay count, endpoints, ttl)
- `advert: peer cached` (notify-loop ingress for non-self)
- `advert: resolved` (cache hit / relay fetch outcome)
- `traversal: initiator starting`
- `traversal: initiator STUN observed` (reflexive, local count)
- `traversal: offer sent` (session id, relay count, event id)
- `traversal: answer received` (accepted, reflexive, local)
- `traversal: initiator punch succeeded` (remote addr)
- `traversal: offer received` (responder side)
- `traversal: responder STUN observed`
- `traversal: answer sent`
- `traversal: responder punch succeeded`

Npubs are shortened to `npub1<4>..<4>` and event/session ids to
their first 8 hex characters.

Other operator-facing logs:

- `UdpTransport` adoption and drop paths log at info / debug.
- `adopt_established_traversal` logs at debug on entry and info on
  successful return, tagged with peer npub, session id, transport
  id, and both socket endpoints, so the bootstrap handoff is
  traceable end-to-end alongside the `UdpTransport::drop` log.
- `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` logs at debug when the
  reference-count check drops an adopted transport.
- `connect_peer` tags its entry `debug!` with `peer_npub` so
  downstream STUN, punch, and handshake logs for the same peer
  correlate for operators.
- Advert-cache and seen-sessions overflow evictions log at debug so
  mis-sized caps are visible under ambient relay volume.
- Gift-wrap unwrap failures on `SIGNAL_KIND` events log at trace
  (hot path: fires for every unrelated signal event on the same
  relay).
- Traversal-offer handler failures log at debug. Expected conditions
  such as punch timeout on symmetric NAT are covered there; real
  problems are reported upstream via `BootstrapEvent::Failed`.
- Inbound-offer rate-limit messages name the governing config field
  (`max_concurrent_incoming_offers`) and state that the offer was
  rate-limited rather than failing.

== Tests

- 18 new unit tests in `src/discovery/nostr/tests.rs` covering advert
  encoding, signal envelope round-trip, STUN parsing, punch-packet
  codec, and replay-window enforcement. Run under the
  `nostr-discovery` feature.
- Config-validation tests in `src/config/mod.rs` covering the three
  cross-field invariants and YAML parsing of the full
  `node.discovery.nostr` block plus `peers[].via_nostr`, empty
  `addresses` with `via_nostr: true`, and a `udp: nat` address.
- `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` integration tests that drive a
  synthetic traversal (bound UDP socket pair + synthetic peer
  identity) through `adopt_established_traversal` and assert the
  Noise handshake completes over the adopted socket.
- Punch-planner tests assert reflexive-before-LAN ordering and that
  same-LAN scenarios still include the LAN target in the plan.
- `testing/nat/` Docker NAT lab harness:
  - Local `strfry` relay, local STUN responder, and one or two
    router containers performing `iptables` NAT.
  - Node LAN interfaces are provisioned with explicit `veth` pairs
    injected into the node and router namespaces so every packet
    traverses the router namespace (plain Docker bridges are not
    used for the LAN).
  - `cone` scenario: both peers behind full-cone-emulation NAT
    (SNAT with source-port preservation, inbound DNAT back to the
    single LAN host regardless of remote source); asserts UDP
    traversal succeeds and link remote addresses are on the router
    WAN subnet.
  - `symmetric` scenario: `MASQUERADE --random-fully`; asserts UDP
    traversal fails and TCP fallback converges over router-
    published WAN addresses.
  - `lan` scenario: both peers share a LAN subnet; asserts LAN
    addresses are preferred over reflexive ones.
  - Cleanup tears down all profile-gated services
    (`--profile cone --profile symmetric --profile lan`) so no
    orphan containers survive a run.
- `testing/scripts/build.sh` builds the Docker test image with
  `--features "tui nostr-discovery"` by default so NAT-harness
  binaries include bootstrap support.

== CI

- Linux release build and nextest unit-test job both use
  `--features "gateway nostr-discovery"` so the feature-gated code
  and its unit tests compile and run in CI.
- Three new integration matrix entries (`nat-cone`, `nat-symmetric`,
  `nat-lan`) invoke `testing/nat/scripts/nat-test.sh`, collect
  `docker compose logs` on failure, and always stop containers.

== Packaging and operations

- `packaging/common/fips.yaml` ships a fully commented
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` block, plus documented
  `advertise_on_nostr` / `public` examples under the UDP transport,
  an `advertise_on_nostr` example under TCP, and a `via_nostr: true`
  example under the static peer section with both a direct
  `host:port` UDP address and a `udp: nat` fallback.
- `.github/workflows/package-openwrt.yml`: NIP-94 release event
  publishes target the new default relay set.

== Documentation

- `README.md`: overlay discovery + NAT traversal moved from
  "Near-term priorities" into "What works today".
- `docs/design/fips-intro.md`: rewrites the paragraphs that
  previously described Nostr discovery and NAT traversal as future
  work; describes the shipped mechanism and the feature gate.
- `docs/design/fips-transport-layer.md`: drops the "(future
  direction)" qualifier from the Nostr Relay Discovery section,
  expands with the `udp:nat` advertisement and bootstrap handoff
  description, and updates the Current State callout.
- `docs/design/fips-mesh-layer.md`: notes that mid-session NAT
  rebinding (roaming) and initial NAT traversal (Nostr path) are
  distinct mechanisms.
- `docs/design/fips-configuration.md`: documents the full
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` surface, including the three resource
  caps and `share_local_candidates`.
- `docs/design/fips-nostr-discovery.md`: design and configuration
  reference for the shipped mechanism, including the empty-
  `addresses`-with-`via_nostr` shorthand.
- `docs/proposals/nostr-udp-hole-punch-protocol.md`: adds an
  Implemented status callout, clarifies that the punch socket is
  per-peer and per-attempt rather than shared with the application
  listener, aligns field names with the shipped JSON
  (`sessionId`, `issuedAt` / `expiresAt`, `reflexiveAddress`,
  `localAddresses`, `stunServer`), sets the `d`-tag to
  `fips-overlay-v1`, names the kind as 37195, and notes that
  advertised STUN entries are informational.
- `docs/proposals/README.md`: adds a Status column and marks the
  hole-punching proposal Implemented.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Unreleased > Added entry covering the discovery
  path, STUN/punch path, configuration surface, and Docker NAT lab.
