Wire format:
- Add HandshakeMessageType enum (NoiseIKMsg1=0x01, NoiseIKMsg2=0x02)
- Define unified TLV framing for handshake and post-handshake messages
- Update fips-design.md and fips-protocol-flow.md with wire format details
Initialization:
- Defer TUN setup until after peer connections initiated
- Order: packet channel → transports → peers → TUN
Logging cleanup:
- Consolidate node/TUN info logs into aligned multi-line format
- TUN shutdown: single start/stop message, remove intermediate noise
- Remove ip link show callout and redundant Starting node message
- Change UDP transport stopped to debug level
- Defer TUN setup until after peer connections initiated
- Split TUN packet/device logs into aligned multi-line format
- Remove ip link show debug callout from fips binary
Config changes:
- Add ConnectPolicy enum (AutoConnect, OnDemand, Manual)
- Add PeerAddress struct (transport, addr, priority)
- Add PeerConfig struct (npub, alias, addresses, connect_policy)
- Add top-level 'peers' section to Config (after transports)
- Add accessor methods: peers(), auto_connect_peers()
Node changes:
- Add find_transport_for_type() to match transports by name
- Add initiate_peer_connections() called after transports start
- Add initiate_peer_connection() creates Link and Peer in Connecting state
- Node::start() now initiates connections to auto-connect peers
This completes the node startup sequence through step 5 (connect
to static peers). Peers are created in Connecting state; the auth
handshake implementation will transition them to Active.
- Add name field to UdpTransport for named config instances
- Add name() and local_addr() accessors to TransportHandle
- Update UdpTransport logging to include instance name
- Remove redundant Node-level transport startup logging
- Reorder Node::start() to initialize transports before TUN
- Added TransportHandle enum for polymorphic transport dispatch
- Node now owns transports via HashMap<TransportId, TransportHandle>
- Added packet channel fields (packet_tx, packet_rx) to Node
- Transport initialization in Node::start() with graceful degradation
- Transport shutdown in Node::stop() before TUN cleanup
- Factory method create_transports() instantiates from config
Configuration redesign:
- New transports section with TransportInstances<T> enum
- Single instance: config directly under transport type (no naming overhead)
- Named instances: nested under instance names
- #[serde(deny_unknown_fields)] ensures correct untagged enum matching
- Instance names are Option<&str> - None for single, Some(name) for named
Updated Node transport methods:
- transport_count(), get_transport(), get_transport_mut()
- transport_ids(), packet_rx()
All 189 tests pass (4 new config parsing tests).
Spanning tree initialization:
- TreeState now uses sequence=1 and current timestamp per protocol spec
- Added ParentDeclaration::sign() and TreeState::sign_declaration() methods
- Node initialization logs identity (node_id, address)
Node lifecycle refactoring:
- Moved TUN init and thread spawning into async Node::start()
- Moved TUN shutdown and thread cleanup into async Node::stop()
- Node owns I/O infrastructure (thread handles, TunTx channel)
- Removed: init_tun(), take_tun_device(), tun_device(), tun_device_mut()
- Added: tun_tx() accessor for packet sending
tun.rs:
- Added run_tun_reader() function (moved from binary)
fips.rs binary reduced from 230 to 117 lines. All 171 tests pass.
- Add TUN interface detection on startup, delete existing before create
- Add proper interface deletion on shutdown via netlink
- Add TUN packet reader in separate thread with DEBUG logging
- Add graceful shutdown handling for expected "Bad address" error
- Add take_tun_device() to Node for reader ownership transfer
- Add shutdown_tun_interface() public function for cleanup by name
- Add tokio signal feature for Ctrl+C handling
Add 7 new modules with all core data types for the mesh routing protocol:
- tree.rs: ParentDeclaration, TreeCoordinate, TreeState
- bloom.rs: BloomFilter (4KB/7 hash), BloomState with debouncing
- transport.rs: TransportId, LinkId, Link, Transport trait, LinkStats
- protocol.rs: Auth messages, TreeAnnounce, FilterAnnounce, LookupRequest/Response, SessionSetup, DataPacket
- cache.rs: CoordCache, RouteCache with LRU eviction and TTL expiry
- peer.rs: Peer lifecycle states, filter tracking, UpstreamPeer
- node.rs: Node container with resource limits
All entities have constructors, error types, and comprehensive tests (161 total).
Stub methods with todo!() for behavior to be implemented later.
No state machine logic, protocol handlers, or async code yet.
