Add the full next-hop routing algorithm to Node::find_next_hop():
- Local delivery, direct peer, bloom filter candidates, greedy tree
routing fallback, with (link_cost, tree_distance, node_addr) ordering
- select_best_candidate() scores by peer→dest distance (not us→peer)
with self-distance check to prevent routing loops
- TreeState::find_next_hop() for greedy tree routing with progress
guarantee
- ActivePeer::link_cost() placeholder (constant 1.0) for future link
quality metrics
Add routing tests including 100-node all-pairs reachability simulation
(9900/9900 delivered, 0 loops, avg 4.0 hops, max 8).
Update fips-routing.md to reflect bloom filter routing as the primary
forwarding mechanism, with greedy tree routing as fallback during
convergence windows.
When both nodes simultaneously initiate connections, each promotes its
inbound handshake first, leaving both sides with mismatched Noise sessions
and session indices. Resolve this in handle_msg2 using the existing
tie-breaker (smaller node_addr's outbound wins):
- Winner (smaller node): swaps ActivePeer to outbound session + indices
via new replace_session() method
- Loser (larger node): keeps inbound session and original their_index
(already references winner's outbound our_index from msg1)
Key insight: the loser must NOT update their_index from msg2, because the
msg2 sender_idx carries the winner's inbound index which becomes stale
after the winner swaps.
Defer outbound connection cleanup from promote_connection() to handle_msg2()
so outbound session state is available for the swap.
Verified with live two-node test over UDP in network namespaces: both nodes
connect, exchange TreeAnnounce, and converge to spanning tree within ~2s.
Fix promote_connection() to detect and clean up pending outbound
handshakes to the same peer, not just already-promoted peers. Previously,
when an inbound handshake completed while an outbound was still pending,
the outbound would linger until the 30s timeout.
Add auto-retry for failed outbound connections to auto-connect peers:
- New RetryState struct and node/retry.rs module
- Exponential backoff (default 5s base, max 5 attempts)
- Config: node.max_retries, node.base_retry_interval_secs
- check_timeouts() schedules retries, rx loop processes them
- promote_connection() clears retry state on success
- Remove unused PeerConnection retry fields (state now at Node level)
Move cleanup_stale_connection() logging to callers for context-appropriate
messages.
289 tests pass, clean build.
Rename NodeId to NodeAddr and npub to pubkey throughout documentation
and source code for consistency with the established identity model.
Add FIPS API vs IPv6 adapter overview to session protocol document.
Add transport address terminology note to wire protocol document.
