feat(openwrt): open !FIPS access SSID layer (#126)
Access layer for phones and laptops to reach FIPS routers on OpenWrt, stacked on the 802.11s mesh backhaul from #123. Squashed from five commits by Arjen (Origami74); their original messages follow. * feat(openwrt): open !FIPS access SSID — fips-ap-setup helper, default transport binding, how-to Client access layer for phones and laptops: every FIPS router broadcasts the same open SSID ('!FIPS' — the leading '!' sorts it to the top of alphabetically ordered network pickers), forming one standard ESS. Clients save it once and roam between all FIPS routers natively, with FIPS's Noise IK handshake as the only security layer: - fips-ap-setup: opt-in UCI helper that creates the 'fips-ap0' open AP (encryption none — security type must be uniform across routers or clients treat the ESS as different saved networks), an isolated network with a static ULA /64, RA-only odhcpd addressing (stateless SLAAC, no DHCP — the minimum that satisfies Android's provisioning check; no internet by design, so phones keep cellular as default route), and a locked-down fips_ap firewall zone (no path to br-lan or the WAN; only ICMPv6, mDNS, and the FIPS transports reachable). 'remove' subcommand undoes it. Radio setup stays opt-in; a package must not commandeer radios on install. - fips.yaml: ship 'ap0'/'ap1' Ethernet-transport entries commented out (matching the 802.11s mesh backhaul) so a stock install that never creates fips-ap* logs no per-boot "interface missing" bind warning; fips-ap-setup uncomments the matching block when it creates the interface and re-comments it on remove. - Regression test: extend shipped_openwrt_config_parses to assert the ap0/ap1 entries ship commented out and still parse once uncommented, alongside mesh0/mesh1. - Packaging: install the helper in ipk/apk/buildroot (three synced copies), extend CI structural checks and shellcheck targets. - docs/how-to/set-up-open-access-ssid.md: full guide, including the one-time 'no internet, stay connected' acceptance (stored per SSID, covers every FIPS router) and the security-type-uniformity constraint. * docs(openwrt): correct open-SSID/mesh security framing — peering is open by design The fips-ap-setup/fips-mesh-setup comments and both how-tos claimed a stranger "cannot pass the FIPS handshake" / "their frames die at the handshake" / the handshake surface "drops them". That is wrong: FIPS peer admission is open. An inbound handshake from any net-new identity is promoted (node::handlers::handshake::promote_connection), gated only by the daemon's max-peers cap — there is no allowlist, no PSK, and the AuthChallenge path is not wired to admission. The Noise IK handshake provides authentication (no impersonation of another identity, no MITM), not authorization. Restate the model accurately in all five places: a stranger on the open SSID (or the open mesh) can associate AND form a FIPS peer link — that is the point of open access. Containment is the isolated fips_ap zone (no path to br-lan or the WAN) plus the max-peers cap, not the handshake. Clarify that AP client isolation is an L2 control only: a peered stranger is an overlay peer like any other, so the FIPS overlay, not L2, is the trust boundary between clients. * feat(openwrt): serve DHCPv4 on the access SSID from a fixed roamable subnet RA-only addressing satisfied Android's provisioning check but left anything expecting IPv4 with a self-assigned address and a "no IP" complaint. dnsmasq now leases out of 10.21.<N>.0/24 (N = radio index; prefix echoes FIPS port 2121), deliberately identical on every router: a roaming client keeps its lease across the ESS, and dnsmasq's authoritative mode — the OpenWrt default, pinned by the helper — ACKs the renew a foreign router never issued. Lease collisions across routers surface as a NAK on renew and the client re-DHCPs. The dhcp section's 'dhcpv4 server' is read by both dnsmasq (default images) and odhcpd (only with maindhcp), so either arrangement serves. A DHCPv4/udp-67 accept rule joins the fips_ap zone; DHCPv6 stays off, the ULA RA stays as-is, and nothing depends on an upstream. The zone remains isolated — no forwardings, no internet. * feat(openwrt): enable mDNS rendezvous from fips-ap-setup Phone FIPS apps cannot open raw-Ethernet sockets, so DNS-SD is how they find the router's daemon — but node.rendezvous.lan defaults to off. Ship the lan block commented in fips.yaml (consistent with the apN transport entries) and have fips-ap-setup uncomment it when creating the access SSID. The awk match is scoped to node.rendezvous because transports.ethernet carries a 'lan' entry at the same indent. The switch is daemon-wide, so 'remove' deliberately leaves it on rather than guess whether other transports rely on it. * fix(openwrt): bind UDP dual-stack [::]:2121 so access-SSID clients reach it The shipped router config bound the UDP transport "0.0.0.0:2121" (IPv4 wildcard) while the mDNS LAN advert announces every interface address, including the router's IPv6 link-local — which phones on the !FIPS access SSID rightly prefer (their cellular default route swallows v4, and fd00::/8 is captured by the Myco mesh TUN). Result: the client's Noise msg1 arrives on an unbound v6 port and is silently lost; the handshake resends and times out. Symptom chain (observed on-device): mDNS resolve OK, platform push OK, "Sent Noise handshake message 1" to [fe80::…%N]:2121, four resends, no reply, 30 s stale-timeout. OpenWrt is Linux (bindv6only=0), so "[::]" accepts IPv4 via v4-mapped addresses too — nothing is lost. packaging/common is deliberately left on "0.0.0.0" for now: Windows defaults IPV6_V6ONLY=1, where "[::]" would drop v4 instead. |

feat(openwrt): 802.11s open-mesh backhaul support
Router-to-router radio backhaul over an open 802.11s mesh interface, with FIPS providing all encryption (Noise IK), authentication, and routing on top of bare L2 neighbor links. The mesh runs OPEN with mesh_fwding 0 — SAE would duplicate the Noise layer and force ath10k raw mode, and FIPS is the routing layer — so the Noise handshake is the real auth/encryption boundary and FIPS's spanning tree does the routing. fips-mesh-setup: an opt-in UCI helper that creates a per-radio mesh-point interface (radio0 -> fips-mesh0, radio1 -> fips-mesh1; trailing-digit derivation with a free-index fallback and a collision guard). Radio setup stays opt-in — a package must not commandeer radios on install. 'remove' takes an optional radio and otherwise removes all instances. Dual-band routers get one instance per radio; FIPS treats the two backhaul paths as failover, not multipath: it keeps one active link per peer (cross-connection resolution picks a single winner), and the second band stands by, re-establishing the peer after keepalive timeout — traffic never uses both bands at once. fips.yaml ships the mesh0/mesh1 Ethernet-transport entries commented out, so a stock install that never creates fips-mesh* logs no per-boot "interface missing" bind warning. fips-mesh-setup uncomments the matching meshN block when it creates the interface and re-comments it on remove, so the flash-and-drop-in flow needs no manual config edit. The file is rewritten 0600-first (it may hold an inline nsec) via an atomic replace. Two field-found silent non-peering causes are surfaced by the helper and the guide: - Same channel: mesh points only peer on a shared channel, and 'auto' lets each radio pick its own. The helper prints the radio's band/channel and warns loudly on 'auto' with the exact uci command to pin one; the how-to gains an ordered no-peers triage (channel mismatch, on-air scan check, DFS CAC wait, regdomain). - STA channel capture: a client (sta) interface drags the whole radio to its upstream AP's channel, so a mesh pinned elsewhere never joins and does not recover until the STA disconnects. The helper warns when the target radio carries a STA; the guide documents the incompatibility of a roaming uplink with a fixed-channel mesh on the same radio. Both the create and remove paths run 'wifi reload', which briefly drops every client AP on all radios; the how-to sets that expectation. Regression test: the shipped OpenWrt fips.yaml must parse via the real Config deserializer in both states — as shipped (mesh inactive) and after the uncomment the helper performs. Packaging: the helper is installed across the ipk/apk/buildroot paths (three synced copies), with the CI structural checks and shellcheck targets extended to cover it.
