Follow the macOS install layout for config, ACL, and identity paths
The macOS packaging installs config under /usr/local/etc/fips, wired through the launchd plist and build-pkg.sh, but the default-path constants and the config search path were hardcoded to /etc/fips for all Unix. On macOS the daemon and fipsctl therefore looked in a directory that does not exist: the ACL and host-map loaders hit their NotFound no-op arm and returned empty state, so a populated peers.deny reported effective_mode "default_open" with enforcement inactive, and host-file aliases went unloaded, with no error. The peers.allow, peers.deny and hosts defaults now follow the platform's packaging, and fipsctl keygen writes its identity there too. The config search path keeps probing /etc/fips first and adds /usr/local/etc/fips after it, so an existing install keeps working across the upgrade and the packaged file still wins over a stale leftover. Both the macOS search-path entry and the keygen output directory read one SYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR constant, so they cannot drift apart. At startup the daemon warns once about hosts, peers.allow or peers.deny stranded at the old location; the config file is deliberately excluded, since both directories stay on the search path and a config left behind is still read. The control-socket snapshot tests repoint the ACL reloader at non-existent paths under the temp dir, so the snapshot no longer reflects whatever ACL files happen to exist on the machine running the tests. Platform-gated unit tests pin both layouts, so a future refactor cannot silently drift either one. Linux and Windows behavior is unchanged. Adding a second system config directory moves the directory the daemon derives the identity key path from, since that comes from whichever config file loaded last. A host carrying fips.yaml at both locations would have resolved fips.key to the new directory, found none, and under persistent generated a fresh identity, silently changing its npub, routing address and mesh IPv6 with no migration path. The daemon now adopts a key stranded at the legacy path and warns to move it rather than generating one. The fallback is confined to keys resolved from the system config directory, so a run using ./fips.yaml or a user config is never redirected to a system key.

Land v0.4.0 pre-release source content: docs, changelog, packaging
Bring the source tree to its finished v0.4.0 content state ahead of the release candidate. Documentation, changelog, release notes, and packaging metadata only; no code or version-string changes. CHANGELOG.md: backfill the operator-visible changes that landed since v0.3.0 (the show_metrics scraper query and fipsctl stats metrics, the discovery dedup-cache-full counter, the off-rx_loop control read surface and its new daemon-resolved fields, the fipstop TUI overhaul, the TCP inbound cap now honoring max_connections, host-map hot-reload, log-noise demotions, and the net bug fixes), topic-grouped rather than replayed per commit; intra-cycle fixes folded into their feature entries; the duplicate Unreleased Fixed section merged into one. Release notes: author docs/releases/release-notes-v0.4.0.md to the operator-upgrade bar and mirror it byte-for-byte into the root RELEASE-NOTES.md. Attribute each feature to its author in Contributors (Nym transport and the mixnet demo to @oleksky, opt-in mDNS LAN discovery to @mmalmi). README.md: add the Nym transport to the support matrix (Linux, macOS, Windows; OpenWrt pending verification), the multi-transport bullet, and the "What works today" list; fold mDNS LAN discovery into the existing Nostr-discovery bullets; refresh the status narrative to v0.4.0 over a global, public test mesh. packaging/common/fips.yaml: add commented Nym transport and mDNS LAN discovery example stanzas with verified field names and defaults. Cargo.toml: add homepage, keywords, and categories crate metadata. docs/reference: update the cli-fips version example to the released form; document the new control-socket output fields and the typed RejectReason families in control-socket.md; sync cli-fipstop.md with the overhauled TUI keybindings. |

chore: retarget next from v0.4.0-dev to v0.5.0-dev
Master is now the v0.4.0-dev line; next moves up to v0.5.0-dev for the wire-format-breaking work staged here. - Cargo: 0.4.0-dev → 0.5.0-dev - CHANGELOG Breaking-section header retargeted to v0.5.0; baseline bumped from v0.2.x to v0.3.x peers (master is now the v0.3.1-dev patch line and v0.4.0-dev minor line, so v0.5.0 breaks against v0.3.x, not v0.2.x) - README: badge v0.4.0--dev → v0.5.0--dev, three Status & Roadmap prose references retargeted - docs/reference/cli-fips.md: example version 0.4.0-dev → 0.5.0-dev |

Merge master into next after v0.3.0 release
Brings v0.3.0 release content forward into the next-branch development line, preserves next's own version state, and updates operator-facing version references to v0.4.0-dev. Kept from master: - docs/releases/release-notes-v0.2.1.md and -v0.3.0.md (cumulative archive of shipped releases) - RELEASE-NOTES.md root mirror at v0.3.0 (tracks the most recent shipped release; will be replaced when the v0.4.0 release cycle begins on this line) - CHANGELOG entries: [0.3.0] and [0.2.1] sections inserted under the existing Breaking and [Unreleased] sections - All code, config, test, and documentation updates from master (openwrt yaml resync, doc-config IP placeholders, etc.) Kept from next (resolved against master's release-prep changes): - Cargo.toml / Cargo.lock at 0.4.0-dev (next's package version) - CHANGELOG ## Breaking section (next-specific v0.4.0 wire-format breaking work) and the empty ## [Unreleased] block for future v0.4.0 non-breaking work Updated to v0.4.0-dev for consistency with Cargo.toml: - README badge (v0.3.0--dev -> v0.4.0--dev) and status-section prose, rewritten to describe v0.4.0 wire-format-breaking work on this branch (Noise XX unification, FMP node profiles, slimmer MMP, extensible bloom-filter encoding) instead of the v0.3.0 testing-and-polishing narrative that applied while v0.3.0 was unreleased - docs/reference/cli-fips.md example version string |

docs: four-section /docs/ restructure with new-user content, accuracy pass, and gateway feature-set rewrite
Restructures /docs/ by reader purpose (tutorials, how-to, reference, design), adds the new-user-progression and operator-recipe content the prior layout lacked, runs an accuracy pass against current source across the pre-existing design docs, and rewrites the gateway feature-set documentation end-to-end around its actual operational profile (a niche feature designed for systems already serving DHCP/DNS to a LAN, with two independent halves — outbound LAN→mesh, inbound mesh→LAN — sharing one nftables table, one binary, and one control socket). Top-level README and getting-started rewritten around two equally-weighted deployment modes (overlay on existing IP networks; ground-up over non-IP transports). ## Additions - 11 new tutorials in docs/tutorials/: an 8-step new-user progression from single-daemon test-mesh peering through to a ground-up two-device mesh, an IPv6-adapter side-trip walkthrough, an Advanced Tutorials index, and a hand-held OpenWrt walk-through for fips-gateway deployment that exercises both halves of the feature. - 12 new how-tos in docs/how-to/: firewall activation, Nostr discovery (resolve / advertise / open across five scenarios), Tor onion (directory + control_port modes), UDP buffer tuning, unprivileged-user setup, persistent identity, host aliases, Bluetooth LE peering, MTU diagnostics, manual Linux-host gateway deployment (covers both halves), gateway troubleshooting (organised by half), and a section index. - 9 new reference docs in docs/reference/: configuration, wire formats, control-socket protocol, four CLI references (fips, fipsctl, fipstop, fips-gateway), security posture matrix, and Nostr events catalog. Configuration and wire-formats are renamed-and-extended from prior design/ versions; the other seven are net-new. - 6 new design docs: fips-concepts, fips-architecture, and fips-prior-work split out of the deleted fips-intro.md; consolidated fips-mmp and fips-mtu aggregations; and a new generic port-advertisement-and-nat-traversal doc (Nostr-signaled port advertisement plus UDP NAT-traversal protocol, FIPS as an example implementation, suitable for eventual NIP submission). - Top-level docs/getting-started.md walking through the binary-installer-only Install story. - packaging/common/hosts pre-populated with the eight public test-mesh nodes so shortnames resolve out of the box on every fresh install. ## Changes - 23 wire-format diagrams relocated to reference/diagrams/ alongside the wire-formats move. - 4 design diagrams corrected against source code (fips-protocol-stack, fips-identity-derivation, fips-coordinate-discovery, fips-routing-decision). - 10 pre-existing design docs reconciled with current source. Numeric corrections: stale link-MMP report bounds (now [1s, 5s] with 200 ms cold-start floor); UDP default MTU (now 1280, IPv6 minimum); node_addr formula (SHA-256(pubkey)[..16]); Noise patterns (IK at link, XK at session); peer-ACL semantics (strict allowlist requires ALL in peers.deny); daemon DNS upstream ([::1]:5354); on-the-wire bloom-filter size (1,071 bytes); obsolete Cargo-feature references (PR #79 dropped them) removed. - Transport framing tightened across the docs: TCP is for UDP-filtered networks (not NAT traversal); Tor is a deployment mode (not failover); WebSocket dropped (not a shipped FIPS transport); WiFi promoted to Implemented via Ethernet in infrastructure mode; classic-Bluetooth row removed (BLE is the only Bluetooth-mode transport). - docs/design/fips-gateway.md rewritten end-to-end to lead with the niche-feature framing and the two-halves structure. Title moved from "FIPS Outbound LAN Gateway" to "FIPS Gateway"; architecture section describes the common machinery (the fips-gateway service, the nftables table, the control socket) before splitting into separate "Outbound Half" and "Inbound Half" sections of equal weight; security considerations split per-half; no Future Work section (speculative directions live in the project tracker, not in protocol design docs). Inbound port forwarding is a first-class half rather than a buried "Implemented Extensions" subsection. - Gateway terminology unified across all gateway docs as a separate Linux service running alongside the fips daemon (its own systemd unit / OpenWrt init script). Container- pattern terms (sidecar) are reserved for the Docker/Kubernetes sidecar deployment examples — the testing/sidecar/ tree, examples/k8s-sidecar/, examples/sidecar-nostr-relay/, examples/wireguard-sidecar-macos/, and the related CHANGELOG / top-level README entries — where the term carries its standard container meaning. - Net-new design body content: rekey section in fips-mesh-layer (Noise IK msg1/msg2 over the established link, K-bit cutover, drain window, smaller-NodeAddr-wins tie-breaker on dual-init); Mesh Size Estimation and Antipoison FPR Cap sections in fips-bloom-filters; Mesh-Interface Query Filter subsection in fips-ipv6-adapter; failure-suppression knobs and clock- skew tolerance in fips-nostr-discovery; loop-rejection and mid-chain ancestor swap added to spanning-tree propagation / stability rules; Priority Chain in fips-mesh-operation renumbered to match the routing-decision diagram. - Top-level README: dropped the stale nostr-discovery cargo-feature parenthetical. docs/README.md and the four section READMEs (tutorials, how-to, reference, design) refreshed for the new structure; index rows reflect both halves of the gateway feature and the new fips-gateway CLI reference. - Cargo.toml [package.metadata.deb] assets path updated for the fips-security.md move; .gitignore /reference/ rule anchored to repo root so docs/reference/ is trackable. - packaging/openwrt-ipk/files/etc/fips/fips.yaml configuration-doc URL updated to the new docs/reference/configuration.md location. ## Deletions - docs/design/fips-intro.md (split into the three new intro design docs). - docs/design/document-relationships.svg (orphan, no longer referenced). - docs/proposals/ tree removed; the only proposal it contained (the Nostr UDP hole-punch protocol) was rewritten as the new generic design/port-advertisement-and-nat-traversal.md. |
