Brings the handshake-leg deletion onto the XX line: the leg struct
and src/peer/connection.rs are gone, the Noise handles and crypto
methods now live on PeerMachine, and every leg accessor reads the
machine's own ConnectionState.
The incoming branch speaks Noise IK, this one speaks XX, so the crypto
methods could not be taken as they arrived. Git added the IK versions
to machine.rs with no conflict marker, and complete_handshake_msg3
-- which XX needs and IK has no counterpart for -- was absent
from the merged tree entirely. All four are re-expressed here: the
incoming structure (the Option<HandshakeCrypto> handle, the self.conn
reads, the borrow scoping that hoists carrier writes out of the leg
borrow) carrying this line's XX bodies. start_handshake is the one
that mattered most: its signature is identical on both lines, so it
compiled silently, and left alone it would have emitted an IK msg1
through the two-argument new_initiator and panicked every anonymous
dial on an expect for an identity XX does not have at that point. It
now uses the one-argument XX form and no expect.
handle_msg1 keeps this line's flow, not the incoming one's. The two
functions share a name but not a shape -- the admission gate moved
out of msg1 into msg3 when the line went to XX, and identity is
unknown until msg3. The machine is built above the crypto because
it now drives it, but it stays a local until the late insert, so a
rejected msg1 still leaves no registry trace and the drop-the-local
error arms are unchanged. Parking it at SentMsg2 after the index is
allocated needed a transition the birth constructor could not provide,
so that constructor now delegates to it.
Node::start_handshake is re-expressed the same way and for the same
reason: keeping the machine a local until all fallible setup has
succeeded preserves the existing error arms exactly, with no machine
disposal to add.
The two leg-to-carrier mirror blocks collapse. With one carrier
the writes they mirrored are self-assignment. Their content
is preserved: the completion touch comes from the relocated
complete_handshake, on the same clock, and the negotiated profile
from process_fmp_negotiation, which now takes the machine directly
and writes through set_conn_peer_profile. Worth recording, because
the collapse was justified on a narrower claim that does not hold:
complete_handshake writes only the touch. It never wrote the profile
on either line. The two writes land on the same carrier at the same
point, so the collapse is neutral, but it is discharged jointly by
two methods rather than by complete_handshake alone.
Three inbound tests are dropped rather than carried. Each asserts
a property at msg1 that XX does not have there: an ACL decision, a
no-registry-trace guard on that decision, and an identity learn on the
carrier. Under XX msg1 is ephemeral-only, so none of the three has a
landing site at that step. A comment at each drop site records where
the property actually lives on this line. One of them was a deletion
here that the incoming branch had merely modified, so its removal
is this line's own prior decision rather than a new one. The same is
true of the craft_and_send_msg1 helper and of HandshakeSeed::inbound,
both left without callers once those tests went.
Also carried: peer_actions.rs had no conflict and no incoming change,
but three sites reached deleted Node accessors and are repointed at
the machine; the EstablishView snapshot is not resurrected, as this
line has never had it; and the connection-state doc keeps this line's
XX wording with the registry-independence invariant grafted in.
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.
Forward-merge the state-carrier collapse (connection start/activity timestamps,
peer-identity telemetry, handshake resend buffers, index/transport bookkeeping,
and the session-index shadow all moved onto the peer machine's own connection
state) onto the XX handshake.
Next-specific resolutions folded into the merge: the responder learns its transport
id and peer index at msg1 and they are written directly onto the machine there (the
XX machine has no msg1 step, so the promote read would otherwise be unset); the
negotiated peer profile is mirrored onto the machine carrier at both the initiator
(msg2) and responder (msg3) negotiation sites; and the outbound carrier writes land
on both the identified and anonymous dial paths. The leg's transport/index/buffer
copies remain as dead duplicates until the leg dissolves; the machine copy is the
sole live source.
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 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.
Re-express the handshake-state carrier collapse onto the XX code: the leg's
handshake_state field is deleted and the displayed state is derived from the
peer machine's phase, with failure carried on the machine (a send_failed flag
that preserves the handshake phase) rather than on the leg. The next projection
maps the SentMsg2 responder phase to received_msg1 and the anonymous-dial
Discovered phase to sent_msg1; the three initiator send-failure sites carry
failure via send_failed. Telemetry strings, wire bytes, index allocation, and
stale-connection reaping are byte-identical to next.
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.
Carries the dead-code deletion (PeerSlot enum, PeerConnection resend
API) and the module-doc liveness corrections. Hand-resolved the doc
conflicts with next-appropriate wording: the executor module doc names
the live msg3 decision-machine path (PromoteToActive /
SwapToInboundSession / RekeyRespondTrigger) while keeping the still-true
msg1-inline dormancy note; the peer_machines field doc reflects next's
promote-time established() births; the machine module doc drops the
stale unwired claims, including the provisional-and-unwired note on the
msg3 trigger variants which are live.
PeerSlot (and its entire impl surface) was referenced only by its own
module tests and the lib.rs re-export; peer storage has always used the
separate connections/peers maps. PeerConnection's resend_count/
next_resend_at_ms/record_resend delegations had no production callers:
the live resend counter is machine-sourced (connection_resend_count reads
the per-peer machine), and the FSP session layer uses SessionEntry's own
methods. ConnectionState::next_resend_at_ms is now test-only (its
remaining callers are the fmp state unit tests) and marked cfg(test).
The PeerSlot unit tests go with the enum; test_resend_count_tracking is
dropped because the delegation target's schedule arithmetic is already
covered by the fmp resend_bookkeeping test.
Fold the handshake timer lifecycle (msg1 retransmit + timeout/stale
reap) through the per-peer machine, re-expressed onto the XX handshake
surface.
- Route peer-machine removal through remove_peer_machine so each link's
timer store is dropped together with its machine (choke-point).
- Home the msg1-retransmit decision on the machine-armed retransmit
timer; advance the resend counter only on send success and relocate
the operator-visible resend count onto the machine.
- Reap outbound handshake timeouts via a presence-scan over the machine
HandshakeTimeout timer, reading the threshold from config each tick so
the reap stays neutral for any handshake_timeout_secs.
Cancel both dial-armed handshake timers on outbound promote so a
promoted machine carries no stale timer entry. Preserve the guard that
suppresses a msg1 resend at a peer already promoted via the inbound
cross-connection path.
The XX inbound HandshakeTimeout presence-scan is neutral only because
the inbound establish path sends msg2 inline and never dispatches the
inbound machine event, so no inbound leg ever populates a
HandshakeTimeout timer. A future change that drives inbound establish
through the machine must re-verify the reap equivalence for inbound
legs.
Move the outbound msg1 resend off the unconditional tick function onto the
machine-armed retransmit timer. The per-peer machine already arms a
HandshakeRetransmit deadline at dial; a new drive_peer_timers fires the due ones
(kind-filtered to the retransmit timer) and homes the resend counter on the
machine, where the operator-visible count now reads from.
The resend decision reads the same operator config as before (interval, backoff,
max), the wire bytes and transport target still come from the shell connection,
and the pure core computes the backoff schedule. As with the deleted
resend_pending_handshakes, the count and reschedule advance only on a successful
send: a failed send neither advances the count nor marks the connection failed,
it just retries on the next tick. The handshake-timeout timer stays on the legacy
check_timeouts path, and the rekey/liveness timers keep their own shell drivers,
so drive_peer_timers deliberately fires only the retransmit kind.
The show_connections resend count is relocated to read from the machine (the
counter's new home) via connection_resend_count; machine-less and inbound
connections report 0, matching what the shell connection reported before. Delete
resend_pending_handshakes and resend_candidates (the latter also from the
LifecycleView trait, its only user). The resend unit test is re-expressed against
the machine + timer path, covering the due check and the record-on-success
semantics.
Known limitation: the first resend interval is armed from the machine's hardcoded
1000ms constant, which equals the config default. Under an operator override of
handshake_resend_interval_ms the first resend diverges from the pre-change
dial+interval; subsequent resends and the cap remain config-driven. Neutralizing
the first-resend override needs the interval threaded into the sync core (the
shell arm would be clobbered by the machine's own timer arming at dial), deferred
to when the connection and machine entities merge. Test count unchanged at 1631.
Move register_decrypt_worker_session out of promote_connection into the
executor's PromoteToActive handler, gated on a promoted or
cross-connection-won result. Every live promote now flows through that
one executor path, so registration still fires exactly once at the same
synchronous point; the direct test callers of promote_connection spawn
no worker pool, so the call was already a no-op for them.
Add the cross-connection loser-link teardown (close the losing
transport, remove its link, re-point addr_to_link at the winner) to the
executor as a guarded follow-up. It is unreachable on the current driven
establish paths, which only promote net-new peers, and asserts so, but
keeps the executor complete for when that case is driven.
Remove the now-dead drive_promote_to_active and ConnAction::PromoteToActive.
Cut the net-new outbound handshake completion (a received msg2 that
promotes a fresh outbound leg to a new peer) over to the per-peer
control machine, mirroring the inbound cutover. handle_msg2 still runs
the msg2 prologue, the ACL check, and the cross-connection swap/keep
arms inline; for the net-new promote it now builds a transient machine,
steps it, and drives promote_connection through the executor. The
session index was already allocated at dial, so there is no two-phase
authorize here.
The wire, index sequence, and peer registry state after promote are
byte-neutral. To keep the promote-failure path neutral, the executor's
cleanup now distinguishes inbound from outbound: an outbound promote
failure records the reject only, matching the prior handler, rather
than the inbound path's link and index teardown.
Cross-connection swap/keep, rekey-msg2, and the dial path stay inline;
the loser-link surgery for the currently unreachable driven
cross-connection case lands with the register relocation next.
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.
Bring the proto tree closer to a std+alloc-only posture, behavior unchanged on
every decision path:
- Sweep the remaining std::fmt and std::collections imports over to core::fmt
and alloc::collections across the wire codecs and their tests. Subsystem files
that shadow the core name with a child core module use the leading-colon
::core::fmt form. Imports only.
- Replace the two f64::powi calls (bloom false-positive-rate, FMP backoff timer)
with a shared core-only square-and-multiply helper in proto/math, bit-identical
to std::powi (a guard test pins this against every exponent the codecs reach),
and route the diagnostic estimated-count natural log through libm::log. The FPR
reject decision and the backoff timer are bit-for-bit unchanged; only the
debug-only count estimate may differ by at most one ULP.
Introduce a shared proto/codec module with a cursor Reader (short reads fail with
MessageTooShort { expected: position + needed, got: total }) and an append Writer,
and adopt them across the seven subsystem wire codecs, replacing the repetitive
manual slicing, try_into, and from_le_bytes extraction. Each existing length check
maps to the reader (an up-front minimum becomes require at position zero, so the
per-field expected values, including the tree-announce expected 99, are reproduced
exactly); the bloom exact-length check stays explicit since it also rejects
over-long payloads. Encoded bytes and decode decisions are unchanged.
Hoist the two line-for-line-identical per-destination minimum-interval limiters
(discovery forward, routing error) into a shared PerAddrRateLimiter, and fold
the duplicated exponential-backoff math (discovery originator, FMP retry) into a
shared backoff_ms helper, both in a new proto/rate_limit module. The subsystem
limiters become thin delegating newtypes so should_forward/should_send and the
backoff call conventions are preserved. Behavior is byte-identical.
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.
