Subject: [PATCH 01/17] Pin STUN binding-success parser malformed-response
 behavior

Add 6 negative-input unit tests to src/discovery/nostr/stun.rs covering
truncated header (all lengths 0..20), bad magic cookie, unknown attribute
type (skip-not-error), truncated XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS, length-overflow
attribute, and transaction-ID mismatch. The happy path was exercised by
the 3 NAT scenarios but the parser had no negative-input coverage.

Tests pin observed behavior: parse_stun_binding_success returns
Option<SocketAddr>, so all malformed-response cases assert None rather
than an error variant. Unknown TLVs are silently skipped via the loop's
default arm; length-overflow triggers the value_end > packet.len() guard
and breaks out of the loop without panicking.

 mapping
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add table-driven unit test test_log_level_parser to src/config/node.rs
covering all 5 explicit match arms (trace, debug, warn|warning, error),
the implicit None-and-unknown → INFO default, case-insensitivity via
to_lowercase (TRACE / Debug / Warning / WARN / ERROR / INFO), and
edge cases (empty string, "verbose"). Pins observed behavior: there
is no explicit "info" arm — it falls through the wildcard to INFO,
identical to unknown strings.

Subject: [PATCH 03/17] Pin bloom-not-closer-than-tree-parent fall-through to
 greedy tree
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add test_routing_bloom_hit_not_closer_falls_through_to_tree to
src/node/tests/routing.rs covering the regression class fixed in
a859da7: bloom candidates exist BUT none are strictly closer to
destination than the tree parent. Pre-fix find_next_hop returned
None (NoRoute); post-fix it falls through to greedy tree routing.
Existing tests covered bloom-hit-closer, bloom-preferred-over-tree,
no-bloom-hit-tree-fallback, and bloom-hit-without-coords — but the
in-between case was unpinned.

Topology: self is tree root with two children (tree_peer at distance
1, bloom_peer at distance 3); destination is one hop below tree_peer
(self distance 2). Only bloom_peer advertises dest in its filter.
Distance of the only bloom candidate (3) is not strictly less than
self's (2), so select_best_candidate returns None and the call must
fall through to greedy tree routing returning tree_peer. Asserts
explicit identity (assert_eq! tree_peer_addr) and rules out the
wrong-peer regression (assert_ne! bloom_peer_addr).

Subject: [PATCH 04/17] Pin macOS utun AF prefix and BPF frame parsing at unit
 level

Add #[cfg(target_os = "macos")] unit tests catching macOS-specific
regressions before they reach the macos-latest GitHub runner.

src/upper/tun.rs: surgical refactor extracts the inline
AF_INET6_HEADER constant into module-scope helpers
utun_af_inet6_header() (encode) and parse_utun_af_prefix() (decode
inverse for round-trip testability). TunWriter::run now calls the
helper instead of the inline const; behavior unchanged. Six new
tests pin the AF=30 constant matching Darwin, big-endian byte order,
encode/parse round-trip, short-buffer rejection, minimum header
acceptance with trailing payload, and no-panic on garbage bytes.

src/transport/ethernet/socket_macos.rs: existing test mod already
covered bpf_wordalign and 5 parse_next_frame cases. Three new tests
fill genuine gaps: struct layout pin against kernel ABI, caplen-
overrun rejection, full Ethernet header round-trip via parse.
Existing tests pre-exist; only adding to the same #[cfg(test)] block.

Subject: [PATCH 05/17] Snapshot-pin all 18 control query handlers as v0.3.0
 schema baseline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add hand-rolled JSON snapshot harness in src/control/queries.rs to
detect silent schema drift in operator-facing control-socket
responses. Builds a Node with deterministic identity
(Identity::from_secret_bytes(&[0xAB; 32])), invokes each of the 18
show_* handlers, redacts 17 volatile fields (version, pid, exe_path,
control_socket, tun_name, allow_file, deny_file, *_ms / *_secs_ago /
uptime_secs), sorts object keys recursively, and compares against a
fixture in src/control/snapshots/.

First run writes snapshots and passes; subsequent runs enforce.
Future schema changes show as a snapshot diff that operators update
intentionally — not a stability contract, just a tripwire so drift
is never silent.

A 19th meta-test dispatch_covers_all_snapshotted_handlers walks every
name through dispatch() to confirm each returns status: ok and trips
if a 19th handler is added without a matching snapshot.

No new dependencies (insta deliberately not added; Cargo.toml
[dev-dependencies] keeps tempfile + criterion only). 18 fixture
files added, ~544 lines combined; harness is 367 added lines, all
inside #[cfg(test)] mod tests.

+    //! state). The resulting JSON is normalized — fields whose values
+    //! depend on wall-clock, PID, build environment, or filesystem

+    //!
+    //! The `Node` is built via `Node::with_identity` from a fixed

From 81c0547bdf55db3f2eeb32e35465f443fcc3ad5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 06/17] Pin consecutive decrypt-failure counter and
 threshold-20 force removal

Cover the security-relevant defensive signal: sustained decrypt
failures indicate key drift or active probing; threshold-trip force-
removes the peer.

src/peer/active.rs (+43): two unit tests on the counter struct itself
- test_increment_decrypt_failures_monotonic asserts each
  increment_decrypt_failures() call returns count+1 for at least 25
  iterations
- test_reset_decrypt_failures_zeroes_counter asserts the reset
  helper zeroes a non-zero counter and is idempotent

src/node/tests/decrypt_failure.rs (new, 93 lines): end-to-end test
- Builds a Node + connected peer via existing make_completed_connection
  / add_connection / promote_connection harness so peers_by_index is
  exercised, not just peers
- Drives the peer to threshold-20 by calling handle_decrypt_failure 20
  times; asserts iterations 1..20 leave the peer registered with
  monotonically increasing counter, then iteration 20 evicts from both
  peers and peers_by_index

src/node/handlers/encrypted.rs: visibility-only widen on
handle_decrypt_failure from private to pub(in crate::node) so the
in-tree test can drive the threshold logic without re-implementing
it. Same pattern as the already-pub(in crate::node)
handle_encrypted_frame in the same file.

Threshold pinned: DECRYPT_FAILURE_THRESHOLD = 20 at
src/node/handlers/encrypted.rs:11.

Subject: [PATCH 07/17] Pin discovery state machine: open-discovery sweep +
 per-attempt lookup timeout
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cover two adjacent runtime behaviors in the discovery state machine
that were previously unpinned at the test level.

1. Open-discovery startup sweep iterate-filter-queue contract.

Cover the runtime sweep behavior: iterate advert cache, apply
skip-filters (own-pubkey, already-connected peers), queue eligible
entries to retry_pending. The config layer was tested but the sweep's
own filtering logic was unpinned.

src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs: add #[cfg(test)] impl block with
three pub(crate) helpers — new_for_test() builds a minimal
NostrDiscovery with empty cache and no relays/background tasks (uses
fresh nostr::Keys signer + Client::builder().autoconnect(false));
cached_advert_for_test() wraps an OverlayEndpointAdvert into a
CachedOverlayAdvert valid for 1h; insert_advert_for_test() writes
direct to the advert_cache RwLock. All three vanish from release
builds via cfg-gating.

src/node/lifecycle.rs: visibility-only widen on
run_open_discovery_sweep from private async fn to
pub(in crate::node) async fn so the in-tree test can drive it
directly. Same pattern as already-pub(in crate::node) handlers in
src/node/handlers/.

src/node/tests/discovery.rs: add #[tokio::test]
test_open_discovery_sweep_queues_eligible_skips_filtered. Builds
Node + Arc<NostrDiscovery>, injects 3 adverts (eligible, already-
connected peer, own-pubkey), invokes the sweep, asserts retry_pending
contains exactly the eligible entry with matching peer_config npub
and the two filtered entries do NOT appear.

2. Per-attempt timeout state machine in check_pending_lookups.

Cover the central new behavior of f16b837: the [1, 2, 4, 8] retry
sequence (cumulative deadlines 1100/3100/7100/15100ms), one fresh
LookupRequest per attempt, and final-timeout reaching the unreachable
state. The opt-in DiscoveryBackoff machinery was well-tested but inert
at default config; this pins the state machine that runs by default.

Add test_check_pending_lookups_default_sequence_unreachable to
src/node/tests/discovery.rs. Constructs a Node with a peer that has
the target in its bloom but cannot respond (no Noise session — the
state-machine bookkeeping is independent of wire-send success).
Drives check_pending_lookups deterministically through:

  t=1100   → second attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=3100   → third attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=7100   → fourth attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=15099  → no-op (one ms before final deadline)
  t=15100  → final timeout

At t=15100 asserts: pending_lookups[target] removed; resp_timed_out
counter +1 (this is the actual counter name); pending_tun_packets
[target] removed (queued packet dropped); a frame on the TUN sender
with IPv6 + next_header=58 + ICMPv6 type=1 (Destination Unreachable).

Fresh-request_id-per-attempt is structurally guaranteed: LookupRequest
::generate() unconditionally calls rand::random::<u64>(), and the
test asserts req_initiated increments by exactly 1 per retry (proving
initiate_lookup runs fresh each time, not a resend of cached state).
The originator's request_id isn't stored on the originator side
(deliberately omitted from recent_requests so the response is
recognized as "ours"), so direct request_id capture is not feasible
and counter-tick is the load-bearing observable.

No production logic touched; no visibility widening needed
(check_pending_lookups was already pub(in crate::node)).

Subject: [PATCH 08/17] Assert nftables firewall baseline postinst state in
 deb-install matrix
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Extend testing/deb-install/test.sh per-distro container test loop with
5 new PASS assertions covering the v0.3.0 nftables firewall baseline
that ships installed-but-disabled (operator opt-in):

1. fips-firewall.service unit present at /lib/systemd/system/
2. fips-firewall.service disabled by default (is-enabled = 'disabled')
3. /etc/fips/fips.nft exists AND is registered as a dpkg conffile
4. /etc/fips/fips.d/ drop-in directory present with mode 755 root:root
5. fips.nft includes the drop-in glob /etc/fips/fips.d/*.nft

Assertions slot in between the existing fips-dns service-state check
and the simulated-boot service-start block. Each runs against every
distro in the existing matrix (debian12 / ubuntu24 / ubuntu26).

The security claim — services on fips0 are not exposed by default —
remains end-to-end-validated separately by the testing/firewall/
suite. This commit specifically pins the static install state so
packaging regressions surface in the per-push deb-install gate
rather than at operator opt-in time.

Subject: [PATCH 09/17] Verify package structural correctness across macOS,
 Windows, and OpenWrt builds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add post-build structural verification steps to the three platform
packaging workflows so structural defects abort before checksum/upload.
The .pkg/.zip/.ipk builds run on tag (or every push for OpenWrt) but
their output layouts were unverified — silent drift could ship missing
binaries, broken plists, or malformed package containers that would
only surface at install time. Field operators rely on manual
validation; CI now catches packaging regressions before release.

macOS (.github/workflows/package-macos.yml):

The pkg is a pkgbuild component flat package; pkgutil --expand yields
the structure but actual files live inside Payload (cpio.gz). The
verification step extracts that with gzip -dc | cpio -i, then asserts:

- usr/local/bin/fips, fipsctl, fipstop all present
- Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fips.daemon.plist present
- plutil -lint on the plist returns zero

Each check prints PASS/FAIL; verifier dumps the full extracted tree on
failure for diagnosis. Codesigning verification deferred (pkgbuild
invocation has no --sign — nothing to verify yet).

Windows (.github/workflows/package-windows.yml):

build-zip.ps1 produces a flat archive (no wrapper directory) via
Compress-Archive -Path "$StagingDir\*". The verifier extracts and
asserts each expected file at the extract root:

  fips.exe, fipsctl.exe, fipstop.exe (binaries)
  fips.yaml, hosts                   (config from packaging/common/)
  install-service.ps1, uninstall-service.ps1 (from packaging/windows/)
  README.txt                         (generated inline by build script)

Each check prints PASS/FAIL; verifier dumps the full extracted listing
on failure for diagnosis. LICENSE intentionally not asserted: the
build script does not currently ship one, and asserting on it would
false-fail every build.

OpenWrt (.github/workflows/package-openwrt.yml):

Add four post-build verification steps between Build .ipk and SHA-256
hashes. The ipk build runs every push but its contents, shell-script
lint state, and sysctl drop-in syntax were unverified.

Steps:

1. Install shellcheck (conditional — pre-installed on ubuntu-latest;
   apt-get install fallback only if missing).
2. Lint init/uci/hotplug/firewall scripts: run shellcheck --shell=sh
   --exclude=SC1008,SC2317 against the 5 shipped #!/bin/sh scripts
   (fips, fips-gateway, firewall.sh, 99-fips hotplug, 90-fips-setup
   uci-default). SC1008 silences the rc.common shebang form; SC2317
   silences "unreachable" warnings for externally-invoked rc.common
   hooks.
3. Sysctl drop-in syntax: per-line regex check against both
   fips-gateway.conf and fips-bridge.conf.
4. Verify ipk structural integrity: extract via tar -xzf (OpenWrt's
   actual format despite the misleading "ar archive" comment in
   build-ipk.sh), assert all three top-level entries
   (control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, debian-binary), assert 14 file
   paths in data.tar.gz (binaries, init scripts, configs, sysctl
   drop-ins, hotplug + uci-defaults + sysupgrade keep), and assert
   the 4 control-tarball entries plus debian-binary content "2.0".

Full ipk install/runtime test deferred past v0.3.0 scope.

Operator-side note: testing/ci-local.sh NOT modified for the OpenWrt
verifier (operators don't typically have the cross-compile toolchain
locally).

From b8b1bb03a01305d9ca342ce11cb6046e8e99139f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 10/17] Cover UDP forward, multi-forward, and multi-client
 paths in gateway-test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Extend the gateway integration suite with three previously unexercised
runtime paths. All three share testing/static/scripts/gateway-test.sh
and testing/static/docker-compose.yml so they land as one commit.

6A — UDP port forwarding runtime path. Add udp 18081 -> [fd02::20]:8081
to inject_gateway_config() and a phase-7 case where gw-client runs an
inline Python UDP echo server bound [::]:8081 and gw-server sends a
UDP probe to [GW_MESH_IP]:18081 via inline python3, asserting the
echoed payload prefix. The config layer already accepted proto: udp
(test_port_forwards_same_port_different_proto_ok) but the UDP NAT
rule shape and conntrack handling differ from TCP and were unverified.
Uses Python rather than socat because fips-test:latest does not ship
socat; nc -u IPv6 round-trip semantics are messier than a Python
one-liner.

6B — Second simultaneous TCP forward. Add tcp 18082 -> [fd02::20]:8081
alongside the existing 18080 forward. Phase 7 now greps the daemon's
nft DNAT table for all three rules (18080, 18082, 18081) and runs
HTTP fetches through both TCP forwards with distinct backend payloads
(inbound-forward-ok vs inbound-forward-ok-2) so a misrouted response
fails the assertion.

11A — Concurrent multi-client flows. Add gw-client-2 service to
docker-compose mirroring gw-client (IPv6 fd02::21, IPv4 172.20.1.21).
Phase 3 sets the fd01::/112 route on both. Phase 4 issues DNS lookups
from both, asserts they receive distinct virtual IPs, and queries the
gateway control socket (show_mappings) to confirm exactly 2 active
mappings (5-attempt retry loop tolerates snapshot-publish lag). Phase
5 launches both curl requests concurrently as background processes,
asserts each response. Validates concurrent NAT mappings, pool
contention, proxy NDP under simultaneous LAN-client traffic — all
real-world deployment shape that was not pinned.

Phase 8 reclamation timing unchanged (TTL=5s, grace=5s, 25s wait
covers both mapping ticks generously even with a slight stagger).

Subject: [PATCH 11/17] Add PowerShell lint job for packaging/windows scripts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add windows-lint job to .github/workflows/ci.yml running
PSScriptAnalyzer against the three operator-facing PowerShell scripts
(build-zip.ps1, install-service.ps1, uninstall-service.ps1) on the
windows-latest runner. Job runs in parallel with build/test, no
needs:, no tag gating.

Also add packaging/windows/PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 with two
project-appropriate suppressions:

  PSAvoidUsingWriteHost — operator-facing progress in all three
    scripts is intentional; Write-Output would conflate progress
    with return value.
  PSAvoidUsingPositionalParameters — Copy-Item src dst / New-Item
    -Path style positional usage is widespread for cp/mv-like
    readability.

Severity = @('Error', 'Warning') gates CI on Warnings+ only,
skipping Information-only findings.

The lint job lives in ci.yml rather than package-windows.yml: keeps
the packaging workflow focused, avoids interleaving with the
structural-verification steps in package-windows.yml, and the lint
runs on every push (not just tags).

Subject: [PATCH 12/17] Validate packaging/common/fips.nft syntax in CI build
 phase

Add nft -c -f packaging/common/fips.nft syntax-check to both
testing/ci-local.sh and .github/workflows/ci.yml so a regression in
the 128-line firewall ruleset surfaces in the build gate rather than
when an operator activates fips-firewall.service.

testing/ci-local.sh: first step inside run_build(), before
cargo build --release. Uses command -v nft for prereq detection
mirroring the existing cargo-nextest pattern; records as nft-syntax
in RESULTS. Operator-facing message points at apt install nftables
when nft is absent.

.github/workflows/ci.yml: nftables added to the build job's existing
Linux apt-install step; new Validate fips.nft syntax (Linux only)
step gated on runner.os == 'Linux' (skips macOS/Windows matrix
slots, runs on ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-24.04-arm).

Note: nft -c -f requires netlink cache initialization on modern
nftables even in check mode, so both invocations use sudo (safe in
CI's passwordless sudo, and operator's typical local sudo). Without
sudo, nft fails with "cache initialization failed: Operation not
permitted" before reaching ruleset parse.

Subject: [PATCH 13/17] Add nostr-publish-consume integration suite
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cover the previously untested overlay advert publish/relay/consume
round-trip. The bilateral publish/subscribe path was a v0.3.0 release
gap: malformed adverts could panic consumers, broken signatures could
go undetected, and reverse-direction subscription was unverified.

Adds testing/nat/scripts/nostr-relay-test.sh (290 lines):

Phase 1+2 (combined): wait_for_peers on both nodes; pass on
bidirectional advert publish/subscribe round-trip + dial completed;
ping6 both directions confirms TUN-level reachability.

Phase 3 (malformed advert resilience): stdlib-only Python WebSocket
client publishes a syntactically valid Schnorr-signed Kind-37195
event whose `content` is gibberish (cannot deserialize as
OverlayAdvert). The relay enforces BIP-340 signature validity, so the
event reaches the consumers (rather than being dropped at the relay)
— a trivially-junk content payload is the right adversarial input.
Required ~80 lines of stdlib-only secp256k1 + BIP-340 in the script
(no new container deps). Asserts pidof fips on both nodes after the
publish, scans logs for panic markers, re-pings to prove the existing
peer link survives.

testing/nat/docker-compose.yml: new profile nostr-publish-consume
with two daemon services (nostr-pub-a 172.31.10.20, nostr-pub-b
172.31.10.21) on shared-lan, reusing the existing strfry relay
(172.31.10.30:7777) and STUN service (172.31.10.40:3478).

testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh: 2-line allowlist update so
the new scenario flows through the existing config generator (rather
than forking a parallel one). Generated node-{a,b}.yaml + npubs.env
smoke-tested cleanly.

testing/ci-local.sh: NOSTR_RELAY_SUITES=(nostr-publish-consume)
array, run_nostr_publish_consume runner, dispatch in run_integration
and run_suite. Mirrors existing run_nat shape.

.github/workflows/ci.yml: one matrix row + 3 steps in the integration
job, gated on matrix.type == 'nostr-publish-consume'. Consumes the
same fips-linux artifact and fips-test:latest image as the existing
NAT suites.

Tor/TCP transport variants kept out of v0.3.0 scope; the structure
leaves room for nostr-publish-consume-tcp/-tor siblings later without
disturbing this baseline.

Subject: [PATCH 14/17] Add firewall integration suite covering fips0
 default-deny baseline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

End-to-end exercise the v0.3.0 nftables firewall baseline so the
security claim — "services on fips0 are not exposed by default" — is
validated in CI rather than by operator opt-in. The packaging postinst
state is pinned by the deb-install matrix; this suite pins the actual
ruleset behavior.

testing/firewall/ — new directory mirroring the acl-allowlist
precedent (kept in its own directory, not extending testing/static):

  docker-compose.yml (52 lines): two FIPS containers on bridge
  172.32.0.0/24, peered over UDP/2121. node-b mounts
  packaging/common/fips.nft RO at /etc/fips/fips.nft and a generated
  drop-in services.nft at /etc/fips/fips.d/.

  test.sh (247 lines): four-case asserter
    (a) curl from node-a to node-b:8000 → DROP (port not allowlisted;
        terminal counter drop fires)
    (b) curl from node-b to node-a:8000 → 200 OK (reply traverses
        node-b's ct state established,related accept)
    (c) ping6 a→b → success (icmpv6 echo-request accept)
    (d) nc -z a→b:22 → success (drop-in tcp dport 22 accept honored
        via include "/etc/fips/fips.d/*.nft")
  Plus drop-counter check after case (a) confirms the dropped
  connection actually hit the chain's terminal counter drop.

  generate-configs.sh (111 lines): mirrors acl-allowlist generator,
  produces the drop-in services.nft + fips configs.

  README.md (111 lines): how to run, expected output, design notes.

  .gitignore: ignores generated-configs/.

testing/ci-local.sh: FIREWALL_SUITES=(firewall) array + run_firewall
runner; dispatch in run_integration and run_suite mirroring
run_acl_allowlist.

.github/workflows/ci.yml: matrix row {suite: firewall, type:
firewall} + 3 steps gated on matrix.type == 'firewall' between
acl-allowlist and gateway. Reuses fips-linux artifact + fips-test:
latest image.

Activation note: the unified test image does not run systemd, so
test.sh invokes the fips-firewall.service ExecStart
(/usr/sbin/nft -f /etc/fips/fips.nft) directly. The systemd-unit
enablement path is covered by the deb-install matrix; this suite
exercises what the unit configures, not how it gets started.

+# Firewall Baseline Test
+
+End-to-end exercise of the production fips0 nftables baseline at
+`packaging/common/fips.nft`. Closes the v0.3.0 audit gap that the
+default-deny + conntrack + drop-in semantics had no integration coverage.
+
+## What this exercises
+
+The `fips.nft` baseline polices ONLY the fips0 mesh interface and
+implements default-deny inbound. This suite asserts the four behaviors
+documented in the file's header are actually true on a live mesh:
+
+- **(a)** Unallowed inbound on fips0 is **dropped**
+- **(b)** Outbound-initiated flows get their reply via the
+  `ct state established,related accept` rule
+- **(c)** ICMPv6 echo-request is **accepted** (ping6 reachability)
+- **(d)** A drop-in `.nft` file under `/etc/fips/fips.d/` adds an
+  allowlisted port and that port is **accepted**
+
+A drop-counter check after case (a) confirms the connection was
+actively DROP'd by the fips chain (not silently unrouted).
+
+## Topology
+
+Two FIPS nodes peered over UDP on a Docker bridge network:
+
+| Container               | Hostname | docker IPv4   | Firewall |
+|-------------------------|----------|---------------|----------|
+| `fips-fw-container-a`   | `host-a` | 172.32.0.10   | none (probe) |
+| `fips-fw-container-b`   | `host-b` | 172.32.0.11   | `fips.nft` + drop-in |
+
+`node-b` mounts the production `packaging/common/fips.nft` read-only at
+`/etc/fips/fips.nft`, plus a drop-in at `/etc/fips/fips.d/services.nft`
+containing `tcp dport 22 accept`. `node-a` is unfirewalled and serves
+as the probe origin.
+
+Both containers run the unified test image's `default` mode, which
+starts dnsmasq + sshd (port 22) + iperf3 + python http.server on
+port 8000 + the FIPS daemon.
+
+## fips-firewall.service activation
+
+The production unit's ExecStart is:
+
+```text
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nft -f /etc/fips/fips.nft
+```
+
+The unified test image does not run systemd, so `test.sh` invokes the
+same `nft -f` command directly inside `node-b` after fips0 is up and
+peering has converged. The deb-install harness covers the systemd
+unit-enablement path under real systemd separately.
+
+## Run
+
+Build the Linux binaries and test image:
+
+```bash
+./testing/scripts/build.sh --no-docker
+```
+
+Run the suite:
+
+```bash
+./testing/firewall/test.sh
+```
+
+`test.sh` regenerates fixtures automatically before starting Docker.
+Use `--skip-build` to reuse the existing release binaries. Use
+`--keep-up` to leave the containers running for inspection.
+
+## Expected output shape
+
+```text
+=== Generating firewall fixtures
+=== Starting firewall harness
+=== Waiting for fips0 on both nodes
+=== Waiting for peer convergence
+=== Resolving fips0 addresses
+  node-a: fd97:...
+  node-b: fd97:...
+=== Activating fips-firewall on fips-fw-container-b
+PASS: fips-fw-container-b: fips.nft baseline + drop-in loaded
+=== Case (c): ICMPv6 echo-request to firewalled node
+PASS: (c) ICMPv6 ping node-a → node-b accepted
+=== Case (a): unallowed inbound TCP/8000 from node-a → node-b
+PASS: (a) inbound TCP/8000 blocked (curl rc=28)
+=== Case (b): node-b initiates outbound TCP, expects reply via conntrack
+PASS: (b) outbound from node-b got HTTP 200 via conntrack reply path
+=== Case (d): drop-in allowlisted TCP/22 from node-a → node-b
+PASS: (d) drop-in allowlisted TCP/22 reachable
+=== Drop counter incremented (case a should have ticked it)
+PASS: drop counter = N (case a was actually dropped, not just unrouted)
+=== Firewall integration test passed
+```
+
+## Inspect the loaded ruleset
+
+```bash
+docker exec fips-fw-container-b nft list table inet fips
+```
+
+## Stop and clean up
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f testing/firewall/docker-compose.yml down
+```
+
+## Generated fixture location
+
+`testing/firewall/generated-configs/` (gitignored).

Subject: [PATCH 15/17] Add stun-faults integration suite covering STUN
 failure/recovery
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cover the previously untested STUN client behavior under server
unreachable, response timeout, and packet loss. The 3 NAT scenarios
test happy paths only; if the STUN client mishandled a fault (panic,
hang, missing log signal), it would silently degrade NAT traversal
without surfacing in CI.

testing/nat/scripts/stun-faults-test.sh (new, 244 lines):

Phase 1 (drop, ~12s): tc prio + netem loss 100% band + u32 filter on
dst 172.31.10.40 udp 3478. Falls back to iptables -j DROP if netem
isn't available. Asserts daemon process alive, no panic, log line
matching stun.*(timed?out|fail|fallback|unreachable|no address)
within the phase window.

Phase 2 (delay then clear, ~17s): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem
delay 5000ms for 7s, then deleted. 10s settle. Asserts process alive,
no panic, AND "STUN observation succeeded" log line after clear
(recovery proof).

Phase 3 (kill, ~12s): docker stop fips-nat-stun. Asserts process
alive, no panic, fault evidence in logs.

testing/nat/docker-compose.yml: stun-faults profile adds two
services. stun-fault-node is fips-test:latest on shared-lan at
172.31.10.50. stun-fault-shim is fips-test:latest sharing the
daemon's network namespace via network_mode: service:stun-fault-
node, with cap_add NET_ADMIN, NET_RAW; entrypoint sleep infinity so
the script can docker exec into it. Reuses existing stun
(172.31.10.40:3478) and relay (172.31.10.30:7777) services.

testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh: 3-hunk update so the
generator accepts the new scenario and points its peer config at the
existing relay/STUN. The peer is configured for connect_peer() so
the daemon retries traversal on a loop, repeatedly invoking
observe_traversal_addresses() — which is the fault-injection target.

testing/ci-local.sh: STUN_FAULTS_SUITES=(stun-faults) array,
run_stun_faults runner, list/integration-loop/--only-dispatch hooks.

.github/workflows/ci.yml: matrix row {suite: stun-faults, type:
stun-faults} + 3 steps gated on matrix.type == 'stun-faults' between
nostr-publish-consume and any chaos suite. Reuses fips-linux
artifact + fips-test:latest image.

Approach: script-driven via docker exec stun-fault-shim. Sharing
network namespace means tc rules on the shim's eth0 affect daemon
egress. No timing logic in the shim itself.

Subject: [PATCH 16/17] Extend shellcheck excludes for OpenWrt rc.common and
 ash conventions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The package-openwrt.yml shellcheck step was failing on warnings that
are false positives for OpenWrt scripts:

  SC2034 — USE_PROCD, START, STOP in /etc/init.d scripts are read by
           rc.common, not by the script itself; standard shellcheck
           cannot see the indirection.

  SC3043 — `local` is undefined in strict POSIX sh, but OpenWrt uses
           ash which supports it. The init scripts use `local`
           extensively for parameter scoping.

  SC2086, SC2089, SC2090 — firewall.sh constructs nft match clauses
           with literal quotes that need to survive variable expansion
           (`match='iifname "$TUN"'` then `nft ... $match accept`). The
           lack of double-quoting around `$match` is intentional so
           word-splitting yields separate nft arguments.

Adding these to the exclude list. SC2317 (unreachable code) and
SC1008 (rc.common shebang form) were already excluded.

Subject: [PATCH 17/17] Fix snapshot-test CRLF mismatch on Windows runners

The control-query snapshot tests panicked on the Windows GitHub runner
because git's default core.autocrlf=true converted fixture files
(src/control/snapshots/*.json) to CRLF on checkout, while the
in-memory JSON output is LF. trim_end() only strips trailing newlines,
not interior \r, so every snapshot comparison mismatched.

Two defenses:

1. .gitattributes: pin src/control/snapshots/*.json to text eol=lf so
   future Windows checkouts keep the fixtures LF-only regardless of
   local git config.

2. src/control/queries.rs (assert_snapshot): replace \r\n with \n in
   the expected text before comparison, so any future
   re-introduction of CRLF (a contributor with non-LF editor settings,
   a different runner, etc.) doesn't surface as a snapshot mismatch.
