Forward-merge the fipstop routing-stats label flip and the three fixes
carried up from maint: drop the redundant parent_switched counter, keep
the tighter path_mtu on a LookupResponse, and reuse one shared secp256k1
context. Clean auto-merge into next's post-refactor structure.
Forward-merge three maint fixes, hand-relocated into master's
post-sans-IO / discovery-to-lookup structure:
- drop the redundant TreeMetrics parent_switched counter (keep
parent_switches), reconciled across the refactored tree/mmp sites and
the spanning-tree test reads
- keep the tighter path_mtu when applying a LookupResponse, now in
handlers/lookup.rs after the discovery module rename
- reuse one shared secp256k1 context in the identity module
An originator handling a LookupResponse unconditionally overwrote the
cached path_mtu_lookup entry, so a looser (larger) estimate in a later
response could clobber a tighter value already learned from a reactive
MtuExceeded or PathMtuNotification. Read-and-compare before writing and
keep the minimum, so a looser discovery estimate no longer loosens the
clamp. Add a regression test.
parent_switched was incremented on the line immediately before
parent_switches at every site and never independently, so the two
counters were always identical. Drop parent_switched from TreeMetrics,
its snapshot, TreeStatsSnapshot, the show_tree fixture, and the fipstop
render, keeping parent_switches as the sole counter.
Forward-merge the transport neighbor-beacon rename (ethernet + BLE
discovery -> neighbor module/buffer rename; ethernet config discovery
flag -> listen with serde alias). Hand-resolved the module files against
next's identity-out-of-beacon beacon rewrite by starting from next's
bodies and re-applying the rename by identifier, so next's beacon logic
(no-arg build_beacon, bool parse_beacon, computed BEACON_SIZE, one-arg
add_peer, deleted BLE add_peer_with_pubkey) is preserved unchanged.
Rename the Ethernet per-interface config flag from discovery to listen,
so the receive/transmit toggle pair reads as the symmetric announce
(transmit) / listen (receive) neighbor-beacon vocabulary. The old
discovery: key is still accepted via a serde alias, so deployed configs
load unchanged; to_yaml re-emits it under the canonical listen: name.
Marked deprecated for removal at the v2 cutover.
Updates the config field + accessor, the transport listen_enabled local,
the one struct-literal test consumer, the chaos sim config generator,
packaged fips.yaml examples, and the classified operator-facing docs
(ethernet neighbor-beacon subsystem prose; the generic Transport
discovery capability prose is left unchanged). Adds a compat parse test
asserting the legacy alias, the new key, and that deny_unknown_fields
still rejects unknown keys. Behavior-neutral.
Brings the connected-UDP fast-path plane relocation (ConnectedPeerSocket/
PeerRecvDrain into peer/connected_udp; udp keeps open_connected_fd in io.rs)
and the darwin_sockopts -> sockopts_macos rename onto the next line. Clean
three-way auto-merge; behavior-neutral.
ConnectedPeerSocket and PeerRecvDrain are node/peer-side logic: the Transport
trait never touches them, ActivePeer stores them, and node's encrypt worker
drives them. They only happened to live under transport/udp. Relocate the
handle types to a new src/peer/connected_udp/ module (socket.rs + drain.rs),
which the node handler and encrypt worker reach via node -> peer (no new edge;
a node home would have forced a peer -> node cycle).
The udp transport keeps only the kernel-construction seam: open_connected_fd,
now folded into udp/io.rs (the byte-layer home) behind a linux/macos-gated
submodule and re-exported as transport::udp::open_connected_fd. The node
handler builds the fd through it and adopts it via ConnectedPeerSocket::from_fd.
Behavior-neutral: no wire/config/metric/log change; the per-packet hot path
(bare-RawFd send_batch_gso/raw) is untouched. Preserves the Arc multi-owner
contract, the drop-drain-before-socket ordering, and the drain's detach-on-Drop
deadlock avoidance. Reconciles the old cfg(unix)/any(linux,macos) double-gate
onto the single any(linux,macos) predicate.
Normalizes the udp transport onto the canonical per-transport module
layout (ble is the reference: io/pool/addr/stats). Pure file rename plus
module-path updates at the use sites; no logic, wire, config, metric, or
log change. Behavior identical.
Forward-merge the master-line FMP-establish relocations onto next: the FMP
link wire codec into proto/fmp/wire.rs and PromotionResult into
proto/fmp/core.rs. The wire move was hand-resolved against next's wire
format (msg3/Msg3Header/build_msg3, FMP_VERSION=1, no spin-bit flag), so
next's behavior is unchanged. Behavior-neutral; full lib suite green at
next baseline.
Move the PromotionResult enum (and its impl) out of peer::mod and into
proto/fmp/core.rs, alongside the cross_connection_winner tie-break helper
that was relocated the same way. This is FMP connection-lifecycle result
vocabulary, so it belongs in the FMP subsystem home rather than the peer
module.
Behavior-neutral pure type relocation: consumers import it from
crate::proto::fmp, and the crate-root public path crate::PromotionResult
is preserved via a re-export in lib.rs (mirroring cross_connection_winner).
Full lib suite green at baseline.
Move the FMP mesh-layer wire format (common prefix, encrypted/msg1/msg2
headers, and the build_*/inner-header codec fns) out of node/wire.rs and
into proto/fmp/wire.rs, so the whole FMP wire surface lives with its
subsystem, matching the proto/fsp/wire.rs layout. The wire module becomes
pub(crate) mod wire; callers reach it via crate::proto::fmp::wire.
Behavior-neutral: pure relocation plus import-path rewrites across the
node/peer consumers; no logic change. Full lib suite green at baseline.
Forward-merge the src/nostr / src/mdns rendezvous reorganization
(relocation out of src/discovery/, the Discovery->Rendezvous rename, the
RendezvousDriver consolidation, and the trace-target reference updates)
onto the next branch. The sole conflict was in the LAN poll method's
doc-comment and signature: kept next's XX-handshake wording and applied
the lan_rendezvous rename. Merged tree builds clean; next lib suite 1583
passing, fmt/clippy clean.
Pull the rendezvous driver state and the movable driver logic out of the
Node struct into the src/nostr home. A new RendezvousDriver owns the
engine handle and the four bookkeeping fields (traversal start time,
startup-sweep latch, adopted bootstrap-transport set and their npubs)
that previously sat loose on Node; Node holds a single driver field and
reaches the same data through thin accessors, including the rx-loop
hot-path protocol-mismatch hook.
The advert build/refresh, the via_nostr fallback-address resolve, the
overlay-endpoint-to-PeerAddress mapping, and the bootstrap request move
onto the driver, taking their Node inputs explicitly (a transport-
endpoint snapshot for advert building) rather than reading Node fields
directly. Transport/connection-table-bound work (traversal adoption,
bootstrap-transport cleanup, the open-discovery sweep, and the outbound
budget calculators) stays on Node as thin glue that calls into the
driver.
Behavior-neutral relocation: statements moved verbatim, no logic, wire,
config-key, or metric changes. lifecycle.rs shrinks ~230 lines. cargo
fmt/build/clippy clean; lib suite 1547 passing (baseline unchanged).
Relocate the overlay peer-rendezvous subsystem out of the overloaded
src/discovery/ tree into two focused, independent homes: src/nostr/
(relay-mediated overlay endpoint advertise/resolve/auto-mesh plus NAT
traversal) and src/mdns/ (link-local DNS-SD rendezvous). The two
subsystems are independent, so they get separate homes rather than
sharing one.
Drop the ambiguous "Discovery" stem from their identifiers in favor of
"Rendezvous": NostrDiscovery -> NostrRendezvous, LanDiscovery ->
LanRendezvous, and the matching config, policy, field, and method names.
The former src/discovery.rs handoff types (EstablishedTraversal,
BootstrapHandoffResult, the punch-packet helpers) fold into
src/nostr/handoff and stay reachable via the crate-root re-exports.
Pure relocation and rename: no logic, wire-format, config-key, metric,
or tracing-target changes. The operator-facing node.rendezvous.nostr.*
and node.rendezvous.lan.* config keys and the fips-overlay-v1 advert
namespace are byte-identical. cargo fmt/build/clippy clean; lib test
suite 1547 passing (baseline unchanged).
Forward-merge the mesh-lookup "discovery" disambiguation onto the next
line: the lookup handler module and Node.lookup field renames, the lookup
metric types, the dual-emitted lookup/discovery metric family, and the
node.discovery -> node.lookup/node.rendezvous config split with its
deprecation shim.
Conflicts resolved by keeping next's XX handshake path (the inbound
responder stores pending_inbound for msg3 rather than promoting on msg1)
and renaming its reset_discovery_backoff call sites to reset_lookup_backoff;
the CHANGELOG Unreleased entries from both lines are combined.
The identifier "discovery" named three unrelated subsystems; the FMP
overlay coordinate-lookup subsystem is now consistently "lookup". This
finishes the concept-#1 rename across the shell, config, and metric
layers left after the earlier proto-layer rename:
- Handler module node::handlers::discovery -> node::handlers::lookup, and
reset_discovery_backoff -> reset_lookup_backoff.
- The Node lookup-engine field Node.discovery -> Node.lookup, renamed by
resolved binding so the metrics().discovery and node.discovery config
paths are left untouched.
- The lookup metric types DiscoveryMetrics -> LookupMetrics,
DiscoveryStatsSnapshot -> LookupStatsSnapshot, and Metrics.discovery ->
Metrics.lookup.
Two surfaces cross a stability boundary and ship behind a compatibility
window, both marked in-code for removal at the v2 cutover:
- The control-socket metric family is dual-emitted under both "discovery"
(deprecated alias) and "lookup" so existing dashboards keep working.
- The node.discovery.* config table is split into node.lookup.* (mesh
lookup scalars) and node.rendezvous.* (nostr/lan peer rendezvous).
NodeConfig does not deny unknown fields, so a naive rename would make a
deployed node.discovery: block deserialize into nothing and silently
revert every setting to default. A deprecated all-Option
DiscoveryConfigCompat field captures a legacy block and a new post-parse
Config::normalize_deprecated_keys pass folds it into the new tables with
a one-time deprecation warning.
Flip the packaged fips.yaml templates to the new keys, add legacy/new/
scalar compat parse tests, and record the split and deprecations in the
CHANGELOG. Behavior-neutral; fmt/clippy clean, lib suite green.
Forward-merge the mesh discovery module rename (directory, exported types, and
internal lookup-stem terminology) onto the next wire-format line. next's
divergent lookup wire and core content is preserved under the new proto/lookup
path, with the same terminology sweep applied to its next-only lines.
Rename src/proto/discovery to src/proto/lookup and bring the module's naming
onto the lookup stem, matching its concept: a mesh lookup of a node's
coordinates from its pubkey, sent into the mesh as a bloom-filter-guided
multicast request that returns a unicast response with the coordinates.
- the module directory and its declaration (proto::discovery -> proto::lookup)
- exported types: DiscoveryAction -> LookupAction, DiscoveryBackoff ->
LookupBackoff, DiscoveryForwardRateLimiter -> LookupForwardRateLimiter,
MAX_RECENT_DISCOVERY_REQUESTS -> MAX_RECENT_LOOKUP_REQUESTS, and the Discovery
state struct -> Lookup
- internal terminology: doc comments, the "overlay-lookup" phrasing, the
empty_discovery/suppressing_discovery test helpers, and the disc
parameter/variable all take the lookup names
- the already-lookup-named wire types (LookupRequest/LookupResponse) are unchanged
Behavior-neutral: no wire bytes or decision logic change. Two references are
intentionally kept as "discovery": the still-named node::handlers::discovery
shell module and the node.discovery.* config keys, which belong to the broader
disambiguation of the shell, config, and metric surfaces still to come.
evaluate_parent no longer reads the injected clock: it returns a ParentEval of
Mandatory, Discretionary, or None, and the flap/hold-down veto is applied at the
edge via a new TreeState::is_switch_suppressed(now_ms), gating only the
discretionary arm. classify_announce/classify_periodic take the pre-computed
switch_suppressed bool instead of now_ms, so the whole classify ladder is
clock-free; the shell callers (tree announce/periodic re-eval, MMP first-RTT
re-eval, handle_parent_lost) compute the veto verdict. The no-coords parent
case stays discretionary (veto-gated) exactly as before. Behavior unchanged;
the veto tests now assert the moved responsibility.
Reorganize the MMP subsystem, behavior unchanged throughout:
- Restore the pre-migration role split: move SenderState into sender.rs,
ReceiverState (with its GapTracker helper) into receiver.rs, MmpMetrics and
RrLog into metrics.rs, and PathMtuState into path_mtu.rs, leaving the Mmp
aggregate plus the peer/session state in state.rs (1339 to 196 lines). Home
the module constants in a new limits.rs and re-export them at the same paths.
Pure code-motion with module rewiring; visibility unchanged.
- Dissolve the 97-line src/mmp shell, which held only MmpConfig and the
monotonic mono_ms() clock: move MmpConfig into config/node.rs (re-exported as
crate::config::MmpConfig), move mono_ms() into a new top-level src/time.rs
shell time seam, repoint all callers, and delete src/mmp/. Also correct stale
src/mmp/ doc-comment path labels to proto/mmp/ where they name the protocol
primitives.
Two behavior-neutral discovery cleanups:
- Move MAX_RECENT_DISCOVERY_REQUESTS out of the node discovery handler into the
discovery subsystem limits module and re-export it, keeping the two use sites
unchanged. Same value and semantics; only its home moves.
- Remove the ambient rand draw from LookupRequest by deleting generate() and
having the shell draw the random request_id and pass it into the existing
new() constructor. Same per-request u64 draw, now at the shell, leaving the
discovery codec free of ambient RNG reads.
The false-positive-rate primitive (fill ratio raised to the hash count) was
inlined at three sites. Hoist it into a BloomFilter::fpr() method and call it
from all three; the threshold/policy logic stays at the call sites. Behavior
and result bytes are unchanged.
Forward-merge the sans-IO cleanup series (bloom fpr, discovery const/RNG-injection,
mmp state decomposition, mmp shell dissolution, STP clock-free classify core, STP
declaration split, shared proto/coord relocation, shared rate limiter/backoff,
typed proto errors dropping thiserror, shared bounds-checked codec reader/writer,
core/alloc import sweep, no_std-shaped filter math) onto the next wire-format line.
Reconciled master structure against the next wire semantics: the mmp role-module
split adopts next slim report format (spin-bit stays dropped, sender/receiver
build next reports), the discovery and fmp codecs keep next TLV and profile
negotiation while moving to the typed error, and the parent-eval handler keeps the
Full/Leaf profile filter under the new ParentEval/is_switch_suppressed seam.
Forward-merge the FSP session-protocol sans-IO migration and the src/protocol
teardown from the master-refactor line onto next. Converge proto/fsp across
both lines (core.rs byte-identical), keeping next's born-on-next residue: the
additive SessionSetup/SessionAck wire variants, the spin-bit-less unit
FspInnerFlags, and the XX handshake shell residue (negotiation-payload
piggyback, initiator identity check, min-size length checks) in
handlers/session.rs. src/protocol is removed on next as well; ProtocolError,
LinkMessageType, and SessionDatagram reach their proto/ homes.
Migrate the FSP end-to-end session subsystem into src/proto/fsp/ following the
established sans-IO shape, and retire the src/protocol grab-bag now that FSP was
its last occupant.
Relocate the FSP session wire (node/session_wire.rs plus the FSP message types
from protocol/session.rs) into proto/fsp/wire.rs. Hoist the pure decision logic
into proto/fsp/core.rs over plain-data SessionSnapshots returning an ordered
FspAction list the shell drives: session-rekey policy, msg3-resend
classification, post-decrypt epoch reaction, setup/dual-init tie-break,
coords/path-MTU emit-policy, bounded pending-queue, and IPv6 ECN. The
crypto-owning SessionEntry stays shell-side in node/session.rs (matching the FMP
ActivePeer pattern); proto/fsp is wire + core + limits only, with no proto->noise
dependency and no crypto.
Move the coords helpers to proto/stp/ (they serialize TreeCoordinate), and split
SessionMessageType: the encrypted-inner 0x10-0x1F variants stay in proto/fsp/wire.rs
while the 0x20-0x2F routing signals become a new RoutingSignalType in
proto/routing/wire.rs. Migrate the session-MMP shell adapter, which continues to
drive proto/mmp/.
Retire src/protocol: LinkMessageType and SessionDatagram move to a new shared
proto/link.rs, ProtocolError becomes proto::Error (relocated verbatim), the
deprecated MessageType alias and the unimported PROTOCOL_VERSION are dropped, and
src/protocol/ is deleted along with its lib.rs module declaration.
Behavior-neutral: wire bytes unchanged, oracle tests pass unedited except
mod-path relocation; adds rekey/epoch characterization tests and pure
poll/emit-policy core tests.
Forward-merge the master-line bloom relocation into the next line,
discarding next's v1.5 bloom draft (RLE codec, XOR-diff delta,
FilterNack/0x21, adaptive sizing) and converging both lines onto the
identical proto/bloom v1-sans-IO module. This is a deliberate,
temporary wire regression on the next line: the v2 bloom is rebuilt
fresh, sans-IO from day one, on both lines later. Nothing outside the
bloom feature depended on the v1.5-specific surface. proto/bloom is now
byte-identical across both integration lines.
Migrate the v1 bloom filter subsystem into src/proto/bloom/, matching the
discovery/routing/fmp/mmp/stp reference layout and completing the proto/
relocation series for the data/wire subsystems.
- wire.rs: the FilterAnnounce (0x20) codec, moved from protocol/filter.rs
- core.rs: the pure BloomFilter algorithm (hash/insert/contains/merge/
as_bytes/from_bytes/estimated_count), moved from bloom/filter.rs
- state.rs: BloomState (per-peer inbound store, compute_outgoing_filter,
the injected-clock send debounce), moved from bloom/state.rs
- limits.rs: the v1 sizing constants
- mod.rs: module wiring + the BloomError enum
- tests/: the unit suite split by target (core/state/wire), no inline tests
no_std+alloc hygiene: core::fmt over std::fmt, the tracing dependency
dropped from the pure filter, and std collections replaced with
BTreeMap/BTreeSet (NodeAddr: Ord) for deterministic iteration. The pure
filter combination stays a BloomState method; the two irreducible shell
gathers (peer_inbound_filters, build_filter_announce) remain in the async
shell. Wire bytes and observable behavior are unchanged; full local CI
green (36/36) including the bloom-storm chaos gate.
Forward-merge the STP sans-IO migration. The classify / proto-stp structure,
clock injection, crypto field-partition, and BTree collections come from the
master line; next's non-full/leaf parent-candidacy skip is preserved by passing
self.non_full_peers() at the four shell call sites (handle_tree_announce,
check_periodic_parent_reeval, the MMP first-RTT re-eval, and the greedy-tree
find_next_hop fallback) instead of an empty set, with non_full_peers returning a
BTreeSet. next's four non_full_peers skip tests fold into proto/stp/tests.
Migrate the full non-async spanning-tree surface into proto/stp/, mirroring the
discovery/routing/fmp/mmp conversions. The classification ladder (parent-switch /
self-root / loop-drop / ancestry-update / periodic-rebroadcast / parent-lost) moves
out of the async node handlers into a pure Stp classify layer returning a
TreeDecision the shell drives, with effect ordering and per-arm invalidation
preserved verbatim. src/tree/ relocates wholesale: TreeState + ParentDeclaration data
+ coordinates into proto/stp/{state,coordinate}, the flap-dampening / hold-down
cluster into a FlapDampener in limits.rs, and the wire codec into wire.rs. The clock
is injected as u64 (wall-clock secs for the escaping declaration timestamp, monotonic
ms for the dampening timers via mmp::mono_ms); declaration crypto is field-partitioned
so sign/verify/hash run in the shell while the in-core modules carry data +
signing_bytes only. Peer maps/sets move to BTree; core/state/coordinate/limits are
core+alloc clean, with wire.rs the one std-tethered file. Behavior-neutral:
characterization tests added for the handler decision arms; convergence suite and
ci-local (36/36) green.
Forward-merge the master-side sans-IO refactor (discovery migration + no_std
reductions, collapsed to one commit) into the next-side branch. The discovery
decision core meets next's FMP profile/LookupRequest delta here: next's four
transit-forward predicates (Leaf no-forward, Full-profile, min_mtu, tree/fallback)
are folded into the pure core planners via an extended RoutingView seam
(node_is_leaf / peer_is_full / peer_meets_mtu, new ForwardOutcome::LeafNoForward),
and next's v2 LookupRequest API delta (origin_coords removed, tlv_entries added)
is reconciled across the discovery test tree, with next's four TLV wire tests
ported into the relocated wire test module.
The master-side branch now also carries the no_std+alloc reductions (BTreeMap,
alloc::sync::Arc, backoff-reset log moved to the shell, extern crate alloc),
which come through cleanly on the pilot-only core files.
Validated: cargo fmt / clippy (-D warnings) / test --lib all green, including
next's own transit MTU-pruning integration tests driving the refactored core
through the full shell path.
Migrate the FMP discovery decision logic out of the async handlers into
synchronous, runtime-agnostic sans-IO state machines owned by the protocol
structs, with I/O pushed to the edges. Pulls the full decision surface into a
pure core (backoff, rate-limit, planners, response routing), consolidates the
tests into a per-module tree with a shared crate testutil, and injects a u64
wall-clock so the core is free of Instant and std time.
Also brings the module toward no_std+alloc: the four discovery maps use
alloc::collections::BTreeMap (HashMap's RandomState is std-only), Arc is spelled
alloc::sync::Arc, the backoff-reset log lives in the shell (the core returns the
cleared count so observability stays out of the pure core), and the crate root
names alloc directly. The one remaining tether is ProtocolError's
std::error::Error coupling in the wire codec.
First subsystem of the broader sans-IO refactor; establishes the extraction
patterns and conventions carried forward to the remaining protocols.
handle_peer_removal_tree_cleanup reparents or self-roots the node when
its parent link drops, but omitted the coordinate-cache invalidation that
every other position-change path performs. Cached entries for downstream
destinations kept the node's now-stale coordinate prefix, and because
find_next_hop refreshes the TTL on every routing access, an actively
routed stale entry never self-expired — corrected only by a fresh insert.
Mirror the loop-detection branch: inside the parent-loss changed block,
invalidate both classes — invalidate_via_node (reparent) and
invalidate_other_roots (self-root). Add regression tests for a parent-link
removal that reparents (via-node entry dropped, same-root sibling
preserved) and one that self-roots (both via-node and stale old-root
entries dropped).
Add six forwarding counters that partition transit-forwarded packets by their
tree relationship to the chosen next hop: tree-up (peer is our ancestor),
tree-down (peer is our descendant and the destination is within its subtree),
tree-down-cross (peer is our descendant but the destination is outside its
subtree), cross-link descend (lateral peer, destination within its subtree),
cross-link ascend (lateral peer, destination outside its subtree), and
direct-peer. The six classes sum to forwarded_packets, asserted by a unit
test. Classification is computed from tree coordinates at the transit
chokepoint, so the error-signal routing callers are excluded.
The two "outside the chosen peer's subtree" classes are both up-and-over
forwards but differ in what they depend on. Tree-down-cross is the
dive-to-tree-child cut-through: we forward down to our own child for a
destination not beneath it, which is only possible because the child
advertised cross-link reach upward to us, beyond its own subtree. Its count
measures how much forwarding depends on that upward advertisement, i.e. what
would change if cross-link advertisements were narrowed to subtree-entry only.
Cross-link ascend, by contrast, uses the node's own lateral cross-link learned
from a peer's split-horizon advertisement, so it does not depend on any upward
advertisement.
Surface the counters through the forwarding stats snapshot (control socket,
show_routing and show_status) and reorganize the fipstop routing tab so its
two columns separate own/endpoint traffic (received, delivered, originated)
from forwarded/transit traffic (the route-class breakdown and drop reasons),
with the tree-down-cross line visually flagged.
Forward-merge the v0.4.0 pre-release content (dependency refresh, CI
deb-install + AUR-build legs, docs refresh, doc-comment fixes, and the
Phase 4 source-content squash: CHANGELOG, release notes, README,
fips.yaml, Cargo.toml metadata, reference docs) up the one-way flow.
Conflict fixups (keep next's identity, fold in master's improvements):
- Version: keep next's 0.5.0-dev (Cargo.toml/lock).
- README status: keep next's v0.5.0-dev / wire-format-breaking framing
and the Breaking-section pointer; fold in the Nym transport and the
"global, public test mesh of thousands of nodes" description.
- docs/reference/cli-fips.md: keep next's 0.5.0-dev version example.
- CHANGELOG: keep next's XX-handshake admission entry (no early cap gate
on XX) and drop master's IK early-cap-at-handle_msg1 entry, which
describes IK-only behavior that does not apply on next; take master's
OR-union mesh-size rewrite (next carries the OR-union code); restore
the Tor connect_refused and MMP receiver-report entries that the
Fixed-section consolidation would otherwise have dropped.
- lifecycle.rs: keep the mDNS/LAN handshake doc-comment as Noise XX
(next unifies on XX), not master's XX-to-IK correction.
Quartet green on the merged tree: fmt, build, clippy -D warnings, and
cargo test --lib (1434 passed).
poll_lan_discovery's comment said Noise XX, but LAN-discovered peers dial over
UDP through initiate_connection, which uses Noise IK (IK at FMP). compute_mesh_size's
header comment still described the obsolete sum-of-disjoint-subtrees estimate;
the function OR-unions every connected peer's inbound filter plus self and
estimates cardinality once (matching the body comment). Comment-only, no
behavior change.
Carries the Nym mixnet transport + single-container demo.
Forward-merge adaptation: the Nym end-to-end SOCKS5 send/recv test was
authored against master's IK FMP framing (msg1 wire size 114, version
nibble 0). next uses the XX handshake and FMP v1, so the TCP read path
rejected the test frame (UnknownVersion / HandshakeSizeMismatch),
timing the test out. Adapted build_msg1_frame to next's framing (wire
size 41, ver=1/phase=1 header byte). next-only; master keeps its IK
form.
Add an outbound-only Nym mixnet transport that tunnels FMP peer links
through a local nym-socks5-client SOCKS5 proxy into the Nym mixnet. It
structurally mirrors the Tor SOCKS5 transport (connection pool,
connect-on-send background promotion, FMP-v0 framing reused from TCP)
with the onion, inbound-listener, and control-port machinery removed.
Wires the transport through the full TransportHandle dispatch, NymConfig
(standard transport-instance pattern), and node instantiation, and
surfaces its counters in fipstop. Includes a mock SOCKS5 harness and unit
coverage for the address-parsing paths.
Also adds an isolated single-container example
(examples/sidecar-nostr-mixnet-relay/) demonstrating FIPS peering across
the mixnet end to end. No new crate dependencies: tokio_socks, socket2,
and futures are already pulled in by the Tor transport.
When an FMP msg1 or FSP msg3 rekey retransmission budget is exhausted, the
cycle is abandoned and retried on the next timer. On lossy or high-latency
links this is an expected, self-limiting outcome: the existing session stays
valid and keeps carrying traffic, so the abort is not a failure that warrants
operator-level visibility. Demote both abandon-cycle messages from warn to
debug to cut steady-state log noise on nodes with many flapping peers.
