The chaos simulation could not report a failure on this line either: scenarios collided on globally-scoped container names and a shared config directory, the runner swallowed whatever they raised, and the harness discarded their exit codes before anything read them. The five commits scope the names and directories per scenario, give an aborted run its own exit code and let that code reach the summary, stop a failed scenario harvesting whichever containers happen to hold its names, and keep the daemon's reason for a failure instead of throwing it away.
Testing only, and the merge is textual: every chaos file matches maint byte for byte, and the ci-local divergence on this line does not touch the changed regions.
Compose commands run with their output captured and with check set, so a failure raised a CalledProcessError and nothing ever looked at what the daemon had said. That exception reports the argv and the exit status and nothing else, so every scenario that died bringing its containers up left a runner log saying only that docker compose returned non-zero exit status 1, and the reason was captured and then discarded. In the run that prompted this work twelve scenarios failed that way and why they failed can no longer be established at all. Log the captured stderr and stdout before the error goes anywhere, keeping the tail of each so a verbose failure cannot fill the log file. A command that times out raises before its exit status is ever read, so that path records whatever it had emitted too, rather than leaving the same hole one shape over. Reproduced against both of the shapes this is meant to catch: an unusable network prefix now records the daemon's parse error, and a name already held by another container now records the conflict and names the container holding it. The success path logs nothing new, and a completed scenario's runner log is unchanged line for line.
The raising behaviour is deliberately untouched, since the abort flag and the exit code that came with it depend on it. The check is applied here rather than by subprocess so that a caller who passed check false gets the same record: both such callers are the compose down in teardown, which today can leave a mesh behind without saying so.
The same omission was costing the veth path its reasons. Failing ip commands had their stderr logged at debug, which the runner does not emit unless asked for verbose output, so a failed pair creation reached the log as nothing more than the names of the two interfaces it could not create. Raise that to a warning. The deletes issued to clear a stale pair are expected to fail and still say nothing.
Teardown runs from a finally, so it also runs after a failed setup, and it was guarded only on the topology and the compose file, both of which are set well before any container exists. A scenario that died bringing its containers up therefore ran the whole harvest anyway: final snapshots, docker logs, the analysis, the assertions and the metadata, all addressing containers by names that are global to the host. What it left behind was not an empty directory an investigator would notice but a full and plausible one, in the recorded case ten node logs and an analysis reporting two promotions and two parent switches, every byte of it from a different scenario's mesh. Gate the harvest on whether the containers ever started, and leave the compose down outside that gate so a partly successful start still gets cleaned up.
Record the outcome in a status file in every result directory, naming the run as completed, interrupted, aborted, setup-failed or teardown-failed, alongside the scenario, the seed and the container names it used. With the harvest gated, the presence of an analysis file is now itself proof that the scenario's own mesh existed, and the status file says which of the several ways a run can end applies. A run cut short by a signal keeps the existing exit codes rather than gaining one of its own: what it collected before stopping is real and still worth reporting, the status file records that it was truncated, and every wrapper already reports a Ctrl-C of its own.
Log collection never looked at the status of docker logs. It concatenated stdout and stderr unconditionally, so collecting from containers that were not there wrote the daemon's "No such container" reply into each node log and analysed the result as a mesh with no panics, no errors and no sessions, which reads exactly like a clean run and exits zero. Check the return code, and treat a harvest that cannot read every container, or that reads none, as a failed teardown. A teardown that raises now also reports on the same footing as a run that never started, instead of escaping past the exit codes as a bare traceback and being read as a malformed command line.
The simulation caught every exception a scenario raised, logged it, and exited 0, so a scenario that died during setup was recorded as a pass. Local CI discarded the exit code in any case: run_chaos ends in a call whose own last statement is an echo, so it returned 0 whatever the scenario did, and the parallel launcher's wait therefore always succeeded and always recorded a pass. Between them no chaos failure of any kind could turn a local run red, and none could since the script was written.
Carry the abort out of the run and give it its own exit code, ordered ahead of the two content codes so a run that never produced a mesh cannot report that mesh's panic and assertion counts. Return the scenario's status from run_chaos so the launcher sees it. The documented exit codes were stale before this change and are rewritten in full, including that the argument parser rejects a malformed command line with the same code that reports panics.
Expect scenarios that have been reporting green to start reporting red. In the last recorded local run twelve of the thirteen scenarios never got past starting their containers, and all thirteen were counted as passes; those that now execute have not run for months, and their assertions have never been evaluated against a mesh of their own.
Ethernet edges get a veth pair created in the host namespace and then moved into the containers, named from the node ids alone. ethernet-mesh and ethernet-only both connect n01 to n04 and always run together, so one tore down the other's live link. Hash the scenario suffix to four hex characters and insert those after the vh prefix; 15 characters is far too few to carry the suffix itself.
The names are now run-specific and never regenerated, so the delete-before-create no longer reclaims an interface an earlier run abandoned. ci-cleanup.sh takes over, deriving the names from the suffixes a run's teardown hands it. It is the first thing that script removes that is neither a docker object nor labelled, so an unscoped reap can sever a running bare simulation's links; testing/README.md and the --reap help say so.
Chaos scenarios run four at a time under local CI, but every one of them claimed the container names fips-node-nNN and wrote its generated configs and compose file to the same generated-configs/sim directory. Container names are global in Docker and are not scoped by the compose project, so concurrent scenarios collided on both, and a scenario could start containers from a compose file another had overwritten.
Thread the existing FIPS_CI_NAME_SUFFIX into the simulation. run_chaos narrows the run-wide suffix to the scenario, and the sim reads it once when the topology is built, applying it to the container names and to the config directory basename. The compose template renders the name through the topology accessor instead of duplicating the literal, so one expression produces every chaos container name.
The suffix is empty when the variable is unset, so a bare chaos.sh run and the hosted CI jobs render byte-identical names and paths. Verified by rendering every scenario's compose file before and after with the variable unset and diffing.
Both branches carry the same correction, authored separately because the
sans-IO relocation moved the logic into a core that returns an outcome rather
than acting inline. Git resolved the file move as a rename and offered to merge
the two versions textually, which would have been wrong in both files.
Resolved by keeping master's re-expression wholesale for the handler and its
tests, and taking the changelog entry from maint. Verified rather than assumed:
the resulting tree is byte identical to the reviewed and CI-green master commit
across every code path, and the merge contributes nothing but the fifteen line
changelog entry. Since the code is unchanged from a tree that already passed the
full local suite, that result still stands and no re-run is owed.
Nothing was lost from maint's side. Its tests are written against a file layout
that does not exist here, and master carries equivalent coverage written against
its own shape, including the multi-node chain and the cache warming cases that
the maint version does not have.
The same correction as on the maintenance line, re-expressed rather than merged,
because the sans-IO relocation moved this logic into a synchronous core that
returns an outcome instead of acting inline.
Delivery to the addressed node is no longer gated on the hop limit, and the
decrement happens before the drop decision, so a datagram that would leave with
zero is not sent. The reachable radius does not change: the old behavior refused
to deliver at zero but was willing to send at zero, and the new behavior is the
mirror of that, so the two cancel.
The shell above the core needed changing too, and that was the real work. It
carried two hop-limit predicates of its own, both justified by comments citing the
ordering that existed before the refactor. The first gated coordinate cache
warming, which this fix requires to be unconditional; left alone it would have
suppressed warming twice over, once for a datagram addressed here and now
delivered, and once for a transit datagram dropped for hop limit whose plaintext
coordinates are still perfectly usable. The second gated next hop resolution,
which carries a cache touch side effect, and now mirrors the core's
would-leave-zero rule instead of the old one. Neither divergence would have
surfaced as a test failure.
That last point is worth stating plainly, because it nearly went the other way.
Restoring the warming gate on top of the corrected core passes the entire suite
without a single failure. The tests could not see the seam between the core rule
and the shell's copy of it. So this adds coverage that can: a three node chain
pinning the decrement across a real hop, which is the only thing exercising the
shell predicates composed with the core, and two warming tests at a zero hop limit
covering both the delivered and the dropped case. Each was checked by putting the
specific defect it targets back and confirming the test fails.
One existing test that claimed to cover hop limit behavior asserted nothing
whatsoever. It asserts now, but those assertions do not discriminate this change,
since the case it exercises behaves identically under both rules. They guard
against the test going vacuous again, not against this defect, and the comment
says so.
The forwarding path tested the hop limit before testing whether the datagram was
addressed to this node, and decremented only on the forwarding branch. Two
consequences followed. A datagram addressed here that arrived with a zero hop
limit was dropped rather than delivered. And a forwarder receiving a transit
datagram with one hop left transmitted it with zero for the next hop to discard,
wasting a transmission on every expiring datagram.
Delivery to the addressed node is no longer gated on the hop limit, and the
decrement now happens before the drop decision, so a datagram that would leave
with zero is not sent. Saturating subtraction folds the two arrivals that cannot
be transmitted, already exhausted and last hop, into a single test.
The reachable radius does not change, which is worth stating because it is easy
to assume otherwise. The old behavior refused to deliver at zero but was willing
to send at zero, and the new behavior is the mirror of that, so the two cancel: a
path of h links still delivers for any source value of h or more. What this
actually buys is the wasted transmission, the exhaustion counter charging at the
node that makes the decision rather than the one after it, conformance with the
specified semantics, and one real gain during a rolling upgrade, where an
unupgraded forwarder feeding an upgraded destination delivers one hop further
than either version does on its own.
Coordinate cache warming moved ahead of both decisions, so a transit datagram
later dropped for hop limit still contributes its plaintext coordinates. The only
arrivals this newly warms from are those with a zero hop limit, and every insert
they can make is already achievable with a value of one, so it grants nothing
that was not already available and adds no memory growth the cap does not bound.
Four tests added: delivery at zero to this node, the transit drop at one, the
transit pass at two, and the one per hop decrement across a three node chain,
which brackets the emitted value from both sides since it is only observable
through what the next hop does. One existing test was renamed because its
destination was this node, so it never exercised the transit path its name
claimed, and it asserted nothing at all.
maint carries only its 0.4.2-dev version bump; master keeps its own
0.5.0-dev development version. Recorded as a linkage merge so later
forward-merges of real fixes land cleanly.
Bump the version to 0.4.2-dev and update the status badge and prose. The
0.4.x patch line continues; v0.4.1 remains the shipped release it points at.
Follows the shape of the v0.4.0 rollover commit. No maint reset was needed
this time: v0.4.1 was cut from maint, so the tag is already on this line and
it simply continues.
Carries the v0.4.1 content up the one-way branch flow. The release itself
belongs to maint, so the parts of this merge that identify a version are
resolved in master's favor and the parts that describe the project's state
are taken from maint.
Kept master's: Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock at 0.5.0-dev, the README status
badge, and the "FIPS is at v0.5.0-dev on the master branch" line. A patch
release consumes no minor version and master's development line is
unaffected by it.
Took from maint: the bloom antipoison FPR default change and the
duplicate-definition fix it rests on, the two docs that describe them, the
new v0.4.1 release notes, the correction to the v0.4.0 release date, and the
[0.4.1] changelog section, which slots below master's own [Unreleased] and
above [0.4.0]. The root RELEASE-NOTES.md mirror moves to v0.4.1 because it
tracks the latest shipped release, which also clears the stale provisional
date it had been carrying.
One line needed splitting rather than choosing: the README said "v0.4.0 has
shipped" inside the paragraph that identifies master as 0.5.0-dev. The
version identity stays master's and the shipped-release pointer moves to
v0.4.1.
Quartet green on the result: 1645 tests passed, clippy clean with -D warnings.
Drop the -dev suffix from the package version and refresh the lockfile.
The version is single-sourced from CARGO_PKG_VERSION, so build.rs and
src/version.rs need no change.
Also fix the archived v0.4.0 release notes, which still read
"2026-06-21 (provisional)" while the changelog records the actual
release date of 2026-06-27. The date was confirmed in the changelog at
the time but not in the two release-notes files that carry it, so the
shipped notes have been showing a wrong date and the word provisional
since that release. The root mirror is regenerated for v0.4.1, so only
the archived copy needed correcting.
Back-fill the changelog for the six user-facing changes on this line
since v0.4.0: the antipoison FPR cap default, the bloom probe and
secp256k1 context performance work, the coordinate-cache and path-MTU
fixes, and the removed parent_switched counter. The Unreleased section
was empty, so all six entries are new.
Write the v0.4.1 release notes and mirror them to the root copy. The
notes lead with the FPR cap change and state plainly that this is the
second raise of that default in two releases, that it buys headroom
rather than fixing the underlying fixed-filter constraint, and that the
structural remedy is the v2 filter work. They also flag the rolling
upgrade window, where an upgraded and a not-yet-upgraded node can
disagree about mesh size, and point consumers of parent_switched at
parent_switches.
Bump the README status badge and the roadmap prose together so the two
agree.
The inbound FilterAnnounce cap at 0.10 rejects aggregates that are
legitimately near their operating ceiling, before the network reaches
the fixed-filter capacity limit. Raise the default to 0.20, which
corresponds to fill 0.7248 at k=5, about 2,114 entries on the 1 KB
filter (Swamidass-Baldi).
Also remove the duplicate default definitions in BloomConfig. Each
default was written twice, once in impl Default and once in the serde
default function, with nothing enforcing that they agree, so a config
file that omits the key took a different path from one that sets it.
impl Default now delegates to the serde default functions, leaving a
single source of truth.
The isolation loop and the failure-log dump both built container names
without the run suffix, so under a suffixed run they addressed containers
that do not exist.
The consequence was worse than the visible failure. Two of the three
checks in that loop assert a ping FAILS, and a ping into a non-existent
container fails for the wrong reason - so both passed vacuously, and the
security assertion the loop exists for was silently a no-op. Only the
third check, which expects a ping to succeed, noticed anything was wrong.
Add a guard that fails loudly when the container is absent, so a future
naming slip cannot quietly turn these back into no-ops rather than
surfacing as one confusing failure among two false passes.
These sites were missed because the suite passes when run by hand: with no
suffix set the unsuffixed names are correct, and the defect only appears
under the automation that sets one. Verified this time with the suffix
set, which is the condition that matters: 18 of 18, container names
resolving to real containers.
Making the sidecar network name unique per run exposed a latent problem
rather than causing a new one. With a fixed name, compose found any
existing network and reused it, which quietly masked the fact that the
address range was hardcoded. With a unique name there is nothing to
reuse, so the range is requested every time and the run fails outright if
anything already holds it.
Claim the range instead of assuming it. The suite now tries to create its
network on a candidate range and, if the daemon reports an overlap, moves
to the next candidate. The daemon's own address pool becomes the arbiter,
so two concurrent runs cannot land on the same range at all - as opposed
to a range derived from the run identifier, which only makes a collision
unlikely, and a collision is the precise failure being avoided.
The node addresses are derived from whichever range is claimed rather than
written alongside it, including the gateway address the isolation check
probes. Moved to a range that nothing in the tree claims and that sits
outside the daemon's default pool.
Only an overlap is worth advancing on. Any other creation failure is real
and is reported with the daemon's own message, rather than being retried
sixty-four times and buried - a lesson from a failure elsewhere in the
harness this week that was undiagnosable because its error output was
discarded.
All three nodes now attach to the pre-created network as external, so
teardown removes it explicitly.
Verified: three concurrent claims take three distinct ranges; a
non-overlap error fails fast rather than looping; the suite passes 18/18;
and the claimed gateway address is confirmed pingable when not firewalled,
so the isolation assertions still mean something.
The suite red-ed with an empty final peer_count while every substantive
assertion passed: both denied peers showed inbound handshake attempts and
zero outbound responses, which is the gate this suite exists to verify.
Two pre-existing defects combined. The final count was sampled once, in
the same second the load driver issues its last round of peer restarts, so
the read can land on a daemon busy with those restarts and return nothing.
And the fallback meant to cover that could never fire, because the shell
applies it to the last stage of the pipeline, which succeeds on empty
input - so an unanswered query was indistinguishable from a genuine zero,
and reported as a cap violation.
Poll the final read for a short window instead, and give the two cases
distinct output. A real regression still fails, just after the retry
window, since the loop exits early only on the expected value. Extract the
read the two phases share rather than leaving them to drift.
Two runs on one host destroyed each other's containers, producing
mid-test "No such container" failures that look like real defects. The
automated builder runs a full local CI on the same box every few minutes,
so the machine is contended almost always and this has red-ed both a hand
run and an automated gate.
Two independent causes are fixed here. Container names were hardcoded, and
docker names are global rather than scoped by compose project, so two runs
collided on the same name; every name now takes an optional suffix that
the harness sets from the run id. And the cleanup sweep matched a label
shared by every run, so one run's teardown force-removed another's
containers; resources now also carry a per-run label and the sweep can be
narrowed to it.
A third hazard turned up that was not in the original report: the sidecar
suite passes explicit compose project names, which override the run-scoped
project and put it outside the shared prefix entirely. Its project names,
network, and derived container references are now scoped too.
Both are default-off. With the suffix unset, names render exactly as they
do today and a bare compose invocation is unchanged, which is what keeps
the hosted CI and the documentation correct. A cleanup run with no run id
still reaps everything, which is what a manual "clear the box" wants.
The literal-name sweep was not sufficient: six scripts build container
names dynamically from node labels, and two suites create their own
containers outside compose. Those are handled at their construction sites.
Verified: syntax check on all modified scripts; compose validation on
every modified file with the suffix both set and unset; and a synthetic
two-run reproduction that shows the old cleanup destroying a bystander run
and the new one leaving it alone.
Known gap: subnets are still hardcoded, so two concurrent full runs will
still collide on address-pool overlap. That fix reaches into topology
configs, chaos scenarios, diagrams and production source, so it is left
for its own change rather than half-done here.
The lifecycle view's doc described the shell as implementing it over a
`connections` map that no longer exists. The establish view named that map
too, and was doubly wrong: both of its snapshot builders read only
`peers`. Rewrite both to describe the maps actually read.
Several comments in the node module carried shorthand from private
working notes - bare parenthetical labels, and one reference to an
internal tracker item - none of which mean anything to a reader of this
repo. Rewrite them so each clause states its own reasoning inline. The
paragraph above the tracker reference already carried the rationale, so
that one is simply dropped.
Comment-only; no behavior change.
The rekey suites' Phase 4 polled until the initiator-cutover count
reached its value at phase entry plus two, while Phase 6 asserts an
absolute minimum of four. On an unloaded host the ping phases can
outrun the jittered first rekey cycle, so Phase 4 can begin with a
single cutover on the books, release at three, and leave Phase 6 to
lose a sub-second race against the remaining first-cycle cutovers.
A rekey-outbound-only run failed exactly this way: five counted
cutover lines by t=32.6s of container life, with the Phase-6 count
snapshot at t~32.4s seeing three.
Floor the Phase-4 wait target at four so a released wait guarantees
the Phase-6 assertion — the docker-logs count is monotone over a
container's lifetime. A genuine rekey stall still times out the
bounded wait and fails Phase 6 with the real count.
Also drop the second-cycle framing from the comment, the phase
banner, and the assertion description: with rekey timers resetting at
each cutover a second cycle cannot begin inside this test's window,
so the counted events are first-cycle cutovers spread across the
topology's links, emitted once or twice per completed link rekey
depending on which side's promotion path logs them.
The per-peer control machine has absorbed every field the pending
connection carried. What remained was a struct holding two Noise
handles beside a duplicate copy of bookkeeping nobody read. Replace it
with a small carrier for the two handles and delete the type.
Presence of that carrier, not the state of the handles inside it, is
what marks a machine as mid-handshake. The distinction is essential
rather than stylistic: a failed handshake drops its initiation handle
and is deliberately retained so the stale sweep can reclaim it, and a
completed one has its session taken before disposal. Deriving presence
from the handles would make both invisible to the sweep, the
connection count, and the peering budget at once, leaking the slot
permanently. A test drives an empty carrier past every presence
predicate and then detaches it, so a future edit cannot quietly couple
the two.
The remote startup epoch now comes from the surviving carrier, which
the handshake operations already wrote at the same two points with the
same value. The paired writes onto the pending connection's own
bookkeeping had no readers left and are gone.
The handshake-phase surface leaves the public API: it was public by
accident rather than design, and the machine behind it is crate
internal. Callers outside the crate that need a view of pending
handshakes go through the operator queries, which are unchanged.
ConnectionState::inbound_with_transport loses its last non-test caller
with the inbound seed and is marked test-only.
The pending connection and the per-peer control machine have carried
duplicate copies of the handshake-phase fields since the machine gained
its own connection state. Read them from the machine and drop the
connection's projections.
The peer identity is the sharp one. The connection learned it from msg1
and the machine's carrier did not, so the two views genuinely disagreed
for inbound connections until the Noise operations moved onto the
machine and began recording each result on both. That is now in place,
so every reader can take the machine's copy unchanged: the establish
snapshot, the promotion sweep for competing connections, the dial and
path in-progress checks, the peering observations and per-peer in-flight
budget, and the stale-connection sweep's retry address.
Also repointed: our_index, their_index, transport_id, started_at, the
stored handshake message bytes, and the idle-timeout check. Two
duplicate index writes on the connection are dropped, both immediately
preceded by the machine-side write of the same value. Reads that
previously came off a connection detached just before its machine was
disposed now capture the machine's value first.
Test seeding follows the establish paths: the seed builders write
our_index to the carrier, which promotion now reads. A new test pins
the inbound identity learn on the carrier and the retry address a
failed inbound connection reports to the sweep, so a silent regression
to a blank identity cannot pass.
ConnectionState::duration loses its last non-test caller with the
connection accessor and is marked test-only.
These three had no counterpart on the control machine, so readers still
reached them through the pending connection. Add machine-side
accessors and repoint every reader, then drop the connection's.
The peer address needed its writes lifted, not just its reads
repointed: the machine's copy was never written. It is now written at
each of the points the connection's copy was — the inbound seed, the
dial, message-2 completion, and the two paths that seed a machine from
a pre-built connection — so promotion and the resend path read a value
with the same provenance at the same time as before.
Link and direction need no lift. Both machine constructors already
seed them from the same arguments the connection is built with, so an
outbound machine carries outbound state and an inbound one inbound,
and the machine's link always equals the connection's. The handshake
operations' direction guards read the machine's copy for the same
reason.
The stale-connection sweep's teardown log and its resend path both now
take the transport and address from the machine, and each keeps its own
check that a pending connection is still attached rather than relying
on the caller to have established it.
Add a test pinning link, direction, and address on the two shapes that
seed a carrier independently — the dial and an accepted message 1. The
cross-connection winner reads both values from a carrier one of those
two already seeded.
The pending connection drove its own Noise handshake while the control
machine held it, so the crypto and the state it produces lived on the
carrier that is going away. Move the six operations onto the machine:
starting and completing an initiation, processing an inbound
initiation, taking the session, testing for one, and dropping the
handle on failure. Bodies are unchanged apart from reaching the
handles through the attached connection.
Each operation now records its results on both carriers. The learned
identity, the remote epoch, and the activity stamp are written to the
machine's own bookkeeping at the same point and with the same value as
they are written to the connection's. The connection's copies still
have readers until those reads are repointed, so both have to be
written; the machine's copy of the learned identity was previously
never populated for an inbound connection, which is why an inbound
pending row showed no expected peer.
Driving the handshake from the machine means the machine has to exist
before the crypto runs. On the inbound path it is built above the
message-1 processing and still kept local, so a rejected message
leaves no registry entry and allocates no index. On the outbound path
it already existed from the dial, so it simply takes the connection
before the index allocation, and both failure arms unwind it as they
did.
Completing message 2 no longer mirrors the activity stamp separately,
since the completion itself now writes both carriers at the point the
mirror was approximating.
Three tests cover what the compiler cannot. A connection whose
handshake failed holds neither Noise handle yet must stay visible to
the stale-connection sweep, or every failed connection would leak and
hold a peering-budget slot forever. A message 1 rejected by the crypto
or by the ACL must leave no machine, no index, and the same rejection
count as before. A dial whose message-1 preparation fails must unwind
the machine registered at dial time; that test drives the
index-allocation failure rather than a crypto failure, which is the
arm this change actually widens, since the allocation now happens with
the connection already attached.
`Node::connections()` yielded the pending connection itself, so its
consumers reached the handshake-phase fields through that value. The
pending connection is being folded into the control machine, and the
fields will move off it, so yield the machine (keyed by its link) and
let each consumer reach what it needs from there.
Membership is unchanged: the iterator still selects machines that
carry a pending connection, which is the predicate `connection_count`
and the stale-connection sweep already use. Every consumer takes the
same value from the same place, one hop further out, and no field
changes carrier here.
The method is now internal to the crate. It yields the control
machine, which is not part of the published surface, and nothing
outside the crate iterates pending connections — operator views of
the handshake phase go through the query surface instead.
`promote_connection` detached the pending connection and then
interleaved reads off that detached value with three separate lookups
of the same control machine. Gather the machine-side fields
(`their_index`, `transport_id`, link stats) in the single `get_mut`
that takes the connection, so the machine is borrowed once.
Behaviour is unchanged. The connection is still taken before anything
is validated, so a rejected promotion leaves the machine with no
pending connection, and the prelude only gathers options: the checks
below it still report the first missing field in the same order
(`our_index`, `their_index`, `transport_id`, `source_addr`).
Link stats move to the prelude, ahead of those checks. The value is
the same either way: they live on the surviving carrier rather than
the detached connection, and nothing between the two points touches
the machine map. The lookup could not fail at the old site either,
since the function had already reached it through a successful lookup
on the same key, so dropping the defaulting arm changes nothing.
Add a test covering the error order and the detach, driving promotion
with connections missing each required field in turn plus every later
one, so an implementation that validated during the prelude would
report the wrong field. Test seeding grows a variant that lets the
caller shape the seed.
Tests built a free-standing PeerConnection, mutated it, and handed it to
Node::add_connection by value. None of those sites survives the removal of
PeerConnection, so converting them afterwards would mean one enormous commit
that cannot be reviewed honestly. Convert them now, while the struct still
exists and the conversion can be validated against a green tree.
Adds a cfg(test) Node::seed_handshake_machine plus a HandshakeSeed builder,
and rewrites make_completed_connection (now seed_completed_connection) and
the twenty inline builders onto it. add_connection keeps its body and loses
its test callers.
The builder's carrier seeding is a verbatim copy of add_connection's: the two
conditional writes for their_index and transport_id, then set_leg, through the
same entry().or_insert_with() so an existing leg-less machine keeps its
constructor-side fields. Nothing else reaches the carrier -- our_index,
source_addr, post-construction started_at and the stored handshake bytes stay
leg-only. Seeding more than that would let these tests observe a carrier
richer than production's and keep passing even if a later production
write-lift were missed.
The Noise exchange now runs on the already-seeded leg rather than before the
hand-over. That is neutral because the only read of expected_identity is
guarded by is_outbound, and no crypto method allocates a session index.
Also adds a compile-time check that PeerAction is Clone + Eq, which is what
keeps a runtime handle from being smuggled into an action payload.
The session index was carried three ways: on the leg, on the peer machine's own
connection-state copy, and on a separate machine-owned shadow field. Populate the
machine's connection copy on the outbound path (it was written only on the inbound
and cross-connection-swap paths before), then delete the shadow field and route its
readers, the decrypt-registration lifecycle, and the rekey cutover through the
single carrier. The shadow and the connection copy diverged only on paths that are
unreachable or dormant in production (a rekey cutover with no newly allocated index,
the swap winner's later reads, and the never-dispatched timeout/disconnect events),
so the merge is byte-identical for every reachable path. Rewrote the outbound-promote
index tests and the dial-time comment for the single-carrier contract.
The connection leg's their_index, transport_id and link_stats duplicated the peer
machine's own connection-state copy. Route every production reader through the
machine copy: promotion, the stale-connection reaper, the outbound msg1 resend, and
the in-use / connecting-path checks. Seed the inbound machine's transport_id from the
msg1 packet (the same source the leg used), matching the outbound dial seed, so the
hard-required promote read never sees a missing transport. link_stats is a
never-mutated zero seed, so its leg accessors are removed outright; the leg
their_index/transport_id getters/setters remain only for the test-only connection
builder. Also delete the write-only next_resend_at_ms field from the connection
state (the resend deadline is carried by the machine-armed retransmit timer, not this
field). Byte-identical.
The connection leg's stored msg1/msg2 handshake-resend buffers duplicated the
peer machine's own connection-state copy. Write the machine copy at the outbound
msg1-prep and the two inbound authorize sites, then source the retransmit
resend-bytes reader, send_stored_msg1, and the pending tier of find_stored_msg2
from the machine. The post-promote active-peer msg2 copy is written from the same
wire bytes, so the pending tier now matching after promotion is value-identical.
Byte-identical resend behavior.
The expected_peer connection-row field read the peer identity off the leg;
source it from the machine's own connection-state copy instead, matching the
started_at/last_activity treatment. The machine carrier holds the same identity
as the leg for every connection that appears in the view: outbound legs seed
both from the dialed identity, and inbound legs never rest in the connections
view (the machine takes the leg at promotion), so their machine copy is
unobserved. The leg accessor stays for the crypto-extraction path and retry
decisions. Byte-identical.
The connection leg's started_at and last_activity duplicated the peer
machine's own connection-state copy. Make the machine copy the sole live
telemetry and timeout carrier: re-stamp it with the leg's provenance when
the leg is attached at handshake start (the msg1-prep clock, not the earlier
dial-time constructor value) and mirror the completion touch, then delete the
leg's last_activity/touch accessors and source the connection-row projection,
show_connections, and the timeout readers from the machine. Byte-identical
for all normal paths.
The connection leg's HandshakeState field duplicated the peer machine's
handshake phase. Delete it and derive the displayed handshake state string
from the machine's PeerState, looked up by link id (mirroring the resend
count). Move the failure signal onto the machine: a send_failed flag that
preserves retransmit eligibility (the machine stays in its handshake phase),
alongside the existing Failed state. The leg's crypto self-gates now guard on
Noise handle presence instead of the deleted phase field, and mark_failed
only drops the handle. Telemetry strings, wire bytes, index allocation, and
the stale-connection reaping are byte-identical for all normal paths.
handle_msg1 now creates one local machine before classification and routes
on the InboundDecision it returns, instead of calling establish_inbound in
the shell and re-deriving the decision inside each arm. The promote and
restart arms drop their own per-arm machine construction and the redundant
InboundMsg1 step; their phase-1 actions come from the single call. The
effect-bearing arm bodies (rekey-respond, duplicate resend, reject
bookkeeping, and the promote/restart tails) are unchanged.
Behavior-neutral: the same establish_inbound evaluation over the same
snapshot and wire, done once in the machine method rather than once in the
shell, with byte-identical arm bodies and no change to index allocation,
wire sends, machine state, or telemetry.
Make the FIPS core build and run as an embedded Android library. The host
app owns the TUN (e.g. an Android VpnService) and FIPS performs no
system-TUN or CAP_NET_ADMIN operations.
Squashed from the following changes:
- gate desktop transports/TUN by target_os, not features: a plain
`cargo build` now compiles for every target with no flags. Ethernet (raw
AF_PACKET / BPF) is gated to linux/macos, so Android (target_os =
"android", not "linux") self-excludes it as Windows already did; real
system-TUN ops are gated per linux/macos and Android gets a no-op stub;
the ipi6_ifindex cast handles it being i32 on Android vs u32 on macOS. No
Cargo features are introduced; desktop builds are unchanged.
- app-owned TUN seam: Node::enable_app_owned_tun() lets an embedder that
owns the TUN fd exchange IPv6 packet bytes with FIPS over channels
instead of FIPS creating a system TUN device. It returns (app_outbound_tx,
app_inbound_rx): the embedder pushes packets read from its fd into the
outbound sender (app -> mesh) and pulls packets destined for its fd from
the inbound receiver (mesh -> app). start() gates system-TUN creation on
tun_tx being unset, so with the channels pre-installed it skips device
creation and does no system-TUN ops; both directions reuse the existing
inbound-shim and run_rx_loop wiring. Packets entering via app_outbound_tx
bypass handle_tun_packet, so the embedder must push only fd00::/8-destined
packets and clamp TCP MSS on outbound SYNs; the rustdoc and the
IPv6-adapter design doc spell this out.
- keep the android target warning-clean so the cross-compile check passes
clippy -D warnings.
- add an Android cross-compile CI check: cross-compile the library for
aarch64-linux-android via cargo-ndk and run clippy -D warnings. Android
ships as an embedded library (the host app owns the TUN), so there is no
daemon binary to package; this is a check job, not a packaging one.
- docs: list Android as a supported platform.
Tests: app_owned_tun_seam_wires_channels covers the channel round-trip and
the Active state; start_skips_system_tun_when_app_owned runs start() and
asserts no named system device is created.
The inbound msg1 machine arm re-derived the establish decision for
its own action selection while the shell matched on a separately
computed copy. Expose the arm as a method returning the decision
alongside the actions so a driver can route on it directly; the
step dispatch delegates and keeps its action-only shape.
The dead rekey-respond arm is stripped to decision-only and its
helper deleted: it allocated from the real index allocator, wrote
the rekey shadow index, emitted a wrong-framed rekey send, stamped
the dampening clock, and flipped state, none of which happens on
the live path, where the inline respond body owns all effects. The
resend-msg2 arm's send emission is stripped the same way; the
decision already carries the stored bytes.
send_stored_msg1 marked the embedded leg failed by writing it
directly from the shell. Route the write through a new
HandshakeSendFailed machine event instead: the machine marks its
leg so the stale-connection sweep reclaims it, without leaving the
handshaking state, so retransmit eligibility survives the window
between the failed send and the sweep exactly as before.
send_stored_msg1 gains a now_ms parameter threaded from the action
executor for the step call; the failure arm itself ignores it.
handle_msg2 no longer pre-computes establish_outbound alongside the
machine's own evaluation of the same snapshot. The shell now builds
the snapshot, steps the persistent outbound machine once at the
decision point, and routes on what comes back: the promote action
vector drives promotion through the executor as before, and the
ResolveCrossConnection decision selects the inline swap/keep
resolution bodies, which are unchanged.
The machine step and its defensive transient-rebuild move up from
the promote arm to the decision point; the cross-connection path
keeps its take-leg-then-dispose ordering with the step preceding
both. Comment prose at the touched sites refreshed to describe the
single-decision-site shape.
The machine's on_msg2 cross-connection arms crystallized state and
emitted FreeIndex/RegisterDecryptSession actions that duplicate the
inline shell resolution, but they are unreachable on the live path
(the shell removes the machine before running the swap/keep bodies).
Making them live in that shape would double-free the outbound index
through the executor.
Strip both arms to a single new ResolveCrossConnection { swap }
action: a decision conveyed to the driver, not an effect. The shell
intercepts it and runs the inline resolution, which owns all effects
permanently. The action executor gets a defensive unreachable arm.
The Promote arm and set_their_index are unchanged.
The pending-handshake PeerConnection map and the per-peer control
machine map were parallel LinkId-keyed structures whose keysets must
stay coherent by hand. With every leg now born with a machine, the leg
becomes storage inside its machine (leg: Option<PeerConnection>, pure
storage the machine never reads or drives) and Node loses the
connections field; every access routes through the machine.
The non-mechanical lowerings, each argued at the site: the
rekey-vs-establish gate in handle_msg2 tests leg-absence (an established
peer's machine stays keyed by its link, so machine-presence would
misclassify every rekey msg2 as a fresh establish); the
connecting-predicates, peering observation, and handshake-slot budget
iterate machines-with-legs so connect-window machines (leg not yet
born) are excluded exactly as before and never double-counted against
their pending-connect slot; the cross-connection extract takes the leg
before disposing the machine; the stale reaper takes the leg and leaves
the machine untouched when none is present, matching the old early
return. The map-coherence debug check keeps its machine-has-carrier
direction with the embedded leg as a carrier; the leg-to-machine
direction is now true by construction and its gate const is gone.
connection_count() counts machines with legs; the connections()
iterator, the test seams, and the control-socket connection rows are
re-implemented over the embedded legs with unchanged output.
Assert, once per tick in debug builds, that the peer control-machine map
and its carriers stay coherent: every control machine has a live
handshake leg, an active peer, or a pending connect (a machine with none
is a leak the stale reaper can never see), and every handshake leg has a
machine. The second direction sits behind a file-local const so a branch
where handshake-window legs legitimately run machine-less can gate it
off without weakening the leak tripwire.
Teach the add_connection test seam to seed a control machine for the leg
it inserts (derived from the connection's direction and identity), and
remove_connection to dispose it, so the seam-built topologies satisfy
the check. Three unit tests: seam coherence, coherence through a real
promotion, and the orphaned-machine panic.
Several module and field docs still described the per-peer machine as
unwired shadow scaffolding. It has been live for some time: machines are
inserted at dial and inbound msg1, stepped by the handshake handlers and
the rekey-cadence and liveness-reap routers, and the executor's
SwapSendState/CompleteDrain/InvalidateSendState arms are the authoritative
paths (the inline bodies survive only as debug-assert release fallbacks).
Rewrite those docs to the current truth while keeping the still-true
dormancy facts: PeerEvent::Timeout and PeerEvent::Tick are never
dispatched in production, retransmit fires on the machine-armed deadline
while the timeout reaper keys on timer presence with the config
threshold, and the remaining inert executor stubs are SendRekey,
SendLinkMessage, and the connected-UDP arms. Drop the stale
allow(dead_code) on the peer_machines field.
