Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan 5cda4a9a55 noise: switch ChaCha20-Poly1305 backend to ring (BoringSSL asm)
The chacha20 crate (RustCrypto) ships SSE2 + soft backends only — on
aarch64 (Apple Silicon, ARM Linux servers, Docker on M-series Macs) it
falls through to a portable software impl at ~600–800 MB/s/core. ring
0.17 wraps BoringSSL's hand-tuned ChaCha20-Poly1305, which dispatches
to NEON on aarch64 and AVX2/AVX-512 on x86_64 — typically 3-5 GB/s/core
on the same hardware.

Same wire format. ChaCha20-Poly1305 is byte-deterministic for a given
(key, nonce, plaintext, aad), so any correct AEAD implementation
produces identical ciphertext. The full noise test suite covers this
implicitly: IK and XK roundtrip handshakes, replay window correctness,
multi-message nonce sequencing, and 100-message stress all pass at
1129/1129 (the lib's full `cargo test` count) — these only succeed if
ring's output matches what the receiver's existing replay-window
decrypt path expects.

Implementation notes:
  * `LessSafeKey` (and `UnboundKey`) deliberately do not implement
    Clone for safety. `CipherState`'s manual Clone impl rebuilds it
    from the retained 32-byte key — cheap for ChaCha20-Poly1305 since
    construction is essentially a key copy + a constant-time check.
  * The keyed AEAD is now cached in `CipherState.cipher` instead of
    being re-derived per packet. This was already a perf win for the
    chacha20poly1305 backend (`new_from_slice` per packet was hot in
    profiles); for ring it's a bigger win because `LessSafeKey`
    construction also derives the Poly1305 key.
  * Public `Vec<u8>`-returning API preserved. New module-private
    `seal`/`open` helpers wrap ring's `seal_in_place_append_tag` /
    `open_in_place` so the per-packet allocation pattern is local to
    one place.
  * `EndToEndState::Established` triggers `clippy::large_enum_variant`
    after the swap (`NoiseSession` grew from ~600 to ~1.5 KB because
    ring precomputes the Poly1305 key state at construction). That
    precomputation is the win — boxing the variant would re-add an
    indirection per packet and work against it. `#[allow]`'d at the
    enum decl with a justifying comment.

ring is widely deployed (rustls, hyper-rustls, AWS SDK, …) and a
pure-Rust crate (uses BoringSSL's asm via a vendored build). It
introduces no new C toolchain requirements that aren't already there
for any rustls user.

Bench data from a downstream consumer of this crate (Docker e2e,
DURATION=10, identical hardware before/after, aarch64 Linux on
Apple Silicon):

  2-node direct (A↔B):
    TCP 1-stream     437 → 1097 Mbps    (2.51×)
    TCP 4-stream     439 → 1109 Mbps    (2.53×)
    TCP 8-stream     445 → 1069 Mbps    (2.40×)
    UDP @1000 Mbit   599/40% loss → 1000 Mbps lossless
    ping under load  ~0.6 ms (unchanged)

  3-node forced transit (A → C → B):
    TCP 1-stream     438 → 1019 Mbps    (2.33×)
    TCP 4-stream     421 → 982 Mbps     (2.33×)
    TCP 8-stream     443 → 1031 Mbps    (2.33×)
    UDP @1000 Mbit   475/52% loss → 1000 Mbps lossless
    ping under load  7.68 ms / 215 ms max → 0.72 ms / 3.6 ms max

The relay-path lift is the cleanest tell on the bottleneck: the
transit node was crypto-bound (single-threaded soft chacha couldn't
keep up with offered rate), so the queue accumulated under load. With
NEON the relay isn't crypto-bound and the queue stops accumulating —
the 215ms ping-tail collapses to 3.6ms.

2d18d019d6 Evict stale overlay advert when retry hits NoTransportForType
The advert cache inside fetch_advert is read-only on hit — once a peer's
overlay advert is cached, every subsequent lookup returns the same
endpoints regardless of whether they still work. So when a peer rebinds
its NAT (or its STUN-discovered port flaps), connection retries to that
peer dial the same dead address forever, even with exponential backoff
firing at the right cadence.

Observed in deployment: macOS daemon's view of a Linux peer would
"regress" — peer marked rch=False after a brief link-dead window, then
hours of "Retry connection initiation failed: no operational transport
for any of <npub>'s addresses" with no recovery. Manual pause+resume of
the daemon (which restarts the FIPS endpoint and forces fresh advert
fetches) was the only way out.

When initiate_peer_connection / a retry tick returns
NodeError::NoTransportForType, fire-and-forget refetch_advert_for_stale_check
on the peer's npub. This re-fetches kind 37195 from advert_relays; if
the relay has a newer advert it replaces the cached entry, if it has
nothing it evicts the cached entry. Either way the next retry tick goes
to fresh data instead of looping on the same dead endpoint.

Mirrors the existing stale-advert sweep that runs from the
BootstrapEvent::Failed (NAT-traversal-streak) path, but covers the
direct-UDP-retry path which never crosses that streak threshold.

64cc30df12 Schedule retry on startup peer-init failure
When initiate_peer_connections() runs at boot, address resolution can
fail for an entire peer (no operational transport for the configured
transport types, all addresses unreachable, NAT rebind invalidated cached
endpoints, etc.). Before this change the failure was logged and silently
forgotten — the peer entry stayed in a dead state forever, accepting
incoming pings but unable to answer them, until the daemon was manually
restarted.

The retry plumbing (schedule_retry / process_pending_retries with
exponential backoff) already exists and is wired into the post-handshake
failure paths (BootstrapEvent::Failed, MMP dead-link timeout, handshake
timeout). The startup loop just wasn't calling it. Mirror the
BootstrapEvent::Failed path: on a startup peer-init error, parse the
peer's npub and call schedule_retry so the peer recovers without
operator intervention.

Includes a regression test that asserts retry_pending is populated when
initiate_peer_connections() fails for a peer with no operational
transport.

6ce1406664 Refetch overlay advert before every retry, not only on NoTransportForType
The previous fix (6ebca3e) only refetched the advert when retry returned
NodeError::NoTransportForType (cache returned no addresses at all). But
the much more common stale-cache failure mode is: cache returns an
endpoint that LOOKS valid (the address it had last week, before the
peer's NAT rebound), the dial succeeds at the IP layer, the handshake
times out, MMP fires, schedule_reconnect adds the entry back to
retry_pending, next retry hits the same cached endpoint, dials it
again, times out again. Loop forever — no NoTransportForType ever
fires because the cache has data, just dead data.

Move refetch_advert_for_stale_check to before each retry attempt
unconditionally. Cheap (one Filter query against advert_relays with
a 2s timeout, bounded by the retry backoff cadence), and replaces the
cache only if the relay has a newer advert or evicts if the relay has
nothing. Keeps the retry loop pinned to relay ground truth instead of
whatever the cache happened to learn at startup.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan e81fd4b477 tree: fix TreeAnnounce ancestry when self is smallest visible NodeAddr
When a node was the smallest-NodeAddr peer it could see (no smaller
neighbor available as a parent), the spanning-tree state was promoting
it to root. But the ancestry it advertised on the next TreeAnnounce
still referenced its previous parent's path, so receiving peers
rejected the announce with `invalid ancestry: advertised root X is
not the minimum path entry Y`, blocking mesh transit on any path that
needed to traverse this node.

Detect the self-root transition explicitly in `TreeState::become_root`
and rebuild the advertised ancestry to start from self. Also surface
the same path through the MMP receive handler so a stale ancestry
inherited across reconnect is corrected eagerly rather than waiting
for the next observation tick.

Adds 80 unit tests in `tree::tests` covering self-root transitions,
mid-chain ancestor disappearance, and ancestry validation against the
new root, plus a regression in `node::tests::spanning_tree` for a
3-node chain where the middle node's only parent (the smallest-addr
peer) goes away — previously it would advertise an ancestry rejected
by both endpoints; now it self-roots cleanly.

Martti MalmiandDev fac4450694 node: drain packet_rx / tun_outbound_rx in batches in run_rx_loop
The run_rx_loop's `tokio::select!` was costing one full scheduler hop
+ futex per inbound packet and per outbound TUN packet. Under
sustained load that capped throughput at one event per scheduler
quantum — independent of CPU (which sat near-idle) because every
iteration parked the worker, woke it via futex, processed one event,
then parked again.

After the await on `packet_rx.recv()` / `tun_outbound_rx.recv()`
fires, drain up to 256 additional ready items via `try_recv()` in a
tight inner loop before yielding back to `select!`. `biased` ordering
gives the data-plane branches priority over tick / control / DNS
under sustained load.

The 256 cap is empirically tuned to keep the worker on a busy stream
between yield points (a contiguous burst of ~256 MTU-sized packets
≈ 400 KB of contiguous traffic) while still bounding the inner loop
so a flood on one branch can't starve the periodic tick or control
socket. Lower caps (64) left perf on the table; higher caps (1024+)
delayed tick handling visibly under stress.

Pairs with the recvmmsg(2) change in the previous commit: the kernel
UDP queue now hands packets to `packet_rx` in 32-batches, and the
rx_loop drains them without a per-packet scheduler hop.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan f0bb29ff6e node: inherit primary UDP config when adopting NAT-traversal sockets
`Node::adopt_established_traversal` was constructing the adopted UDP
transport with `UdpConfig::default()` — MTU 1280, default recv/send
buffer sizes, default accept/advertise flags. If the operator had
configured a higher MTU on the primary `[transports.udp]` listener
(e.g. 1500 on a path where larger frames are known viable), full-sized
tunnel datagrams sent over the NAT-traversed link would exceed the
adopted socket's MTU and get dropped at the socket layer with no
visibility into why throughput collapsed.

Inherit the primary UDP config (MTU + recv/send buffer sizes + accept
/ advertise flags) and clear the bind / external-address fields since
the adopted socket is already bound. Lookup tries `transport_name`
first so operators with multiple named `[transports.udp.<name>]`
listeners pick up inheritance from the matching listener, and falls
back to the unnamed `Single` listener so single-instance configs work
unchanged.

The previous default of MTU 1280 was deliberately the IPv6 minimum,
the only value guaranteed to survive arbitrary middlebox paths. With
this change, operators who set their primary listener higher (based
on known-clean LAN topology) will have NAT-traversed flows initially
attempting that higher MTU and possibly black-holing on tighter paths
until reactive `MtuExceeded` recovery kicks in. Documented in the
adoption call-site comment so future readers understand why the
conservative default went away.

Discovered in a downstream consumer where a `MESH_TUNNEL_MTU=1320` /
encrypted wire ~1426B produced silent packet drop on every session
that had been promoted onto a NAT-traversed link.

Adds two sibling tests in `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` pinning the
new behaviour for the `Single` and `Named` config variants.

Johnathan Corgan 4cdf382038 tree: propagate mid-chain ancestor swaps to leaves
A leaf node's my_coords could go stale after an upstream
mid-chain ancestor swap, leaving non-parent destinations with
100% loss until either the parent or the depth also changed.

The broadcast gate in handle_tree_announce's
`else if !is_root && parent_id == from` branch compared only
(root, depth). A swap that altered an interior ancestor without
changing root or depth (e.g. A->B->C reorganizing to A->D->C
while keeping (A, depth=2)) was silently dropped one hop below
the swap node. Downstream nodes' coords paths then drifted from
the real tree topology, defeating greedy distance routing for
any destination whose path crossed the unrepresented section.

Widen the gate to compare the full my_coords.node_addrs() so
mid-chain swaps propagate to leaves the same way root/depth
changes already did. The gate body's bloom-marking is adjusted
in step so the wider gate doesn't generate empty/redundant
FilterAnnounces to every peer on every mid-chain swap
propagation: mark_changed_peers replaces
mark_all_updates_needed in the gate body (parent_id is
unchanged in this branch, so outgoing filter content is
typically unchanged, and mark_changed_peers correctly marks
zero peers in that case), and the unconditional
mark_update_needed(*from) at the top of handle_tree_announce
is removed (bloom exchange initiation is already handled at
handshake completion, and ongoing content changes are picked
up naturally by mark_changed_peers in handle_filter_announce
when peers send their next filter).

Required surface change: peer_inbound_filters in
src/node/bloom.rs upgraded from private to pub(super) so the
gate body can call it.

Verified in a 6-node depth-4 docker reproduction under
tc/netem-induced parent flapping: a depth-4 leaf's
ancestry_changed counter advances with upstream parent
switches while bloom_sent stays at zero matching the
pre-change steady-state baseline.

Johnathan Corgan a62a0a6cf4 nostr: suppress retraversal of cross-FMP-version peers
Open-discovery NAT traversal succeeds at the UDP layer regardless
of what FMP-protocol version the peer speaks. When the daemon
discovers a peer running a different FMP version (e.g. a v0/v1 mix
during a mid-rollout window, or a misconfigured peer in the same
advert namespace), the punch sequence completes, the socket is
adopted via `Node::adopt_established_traversal`, and we initiate
an FMP handshake. The peer drops our msg1 at its own version-gate
and we drop their msg1/msg2 at `Unknown FMP version, dropping`.
Neither side advances the handshake.

Today the bootstrap transport sits idle until the 31s stale-
handshake timeout, drops, and the open-discovery sweep ~30s later
fires the full STUN+offer+answer+punch sequence again — every
minute, indefinitely, against peers the handshake literally cannot
complete with.

Add a `Node::bootstrap_transport_npubs` map populated alongside
`bootstrap_transports` at adopt time. The rx loop reverse-maps the
transport_id → npub on version-mismatch and bumps the discovery
layer's `failure_state` to a long structural cooldown via the new
`NostrDiscovery::record_protocol_mismatch` API. The next sweep
skips the npub for `protocol_mismatch_cooldown_secs` (default
86400 = 24h, separate from the 30-min transient-failure
`extended_cooldown_secs`).

One-shot WARN per fresh observation. Repeat mismatches inside the
cooldown window are silent (the failure_state method returns false
when an existing comparable cooldown is already in place). The
handshake/transport teardown chain is unchanged — the fix is
specifically about preventing the *next* sweep cycle from
re-traversing.

Cleared on `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` and on the
adopt-failure rollback path so completed handshakes don't leave
stale entries behind.

Four new unit tests in `failure_state.rs` cover fresh-entry
signaling, repeat-suppression inside the window, streak-pin
behavior for `show_peers` rendering, and post-cooldown re-arming.

Johnathan Corgan 7fc890b7a2 session: mirror proactive PathMtuNotification into path_mtu_lookup
The TUN-side TCP MSS clamp consults `path_mtu_lookup` (FipsAddress-
keyed) when sizing outbound TCP flows. Until now, only the reactive
`MtuExceeded` handler mirrored the bottleneck MTU into that store;
the proactive end-to-end `PathMtuNotification` echoed by the
destination updated only `MmpSessionState.path_mtu`, leaving the TUN
mirror stale.

On stable long-lived paths, the proactive echo can tighten the
session-canonical MTU well before any transit router fires a
`MtuExceeded` for those flows (since all current traffic is already
sized by the tighter session value). New TCP flows opened during
that window get clamped by the discovery-time value rather than the
session-canonical one, leading to PMTU-D loss until the reactive
path eventually fires.

Mirror the post-apply MTU into `path_mtu_lookup` whenever
`apply_notification` returns true, with the same tighter-only
semantics as the reactive mirror — never loosen the clamp. Gated on
the bool return so spurious writes don't happen on rejected
increases or no-op same-value notifications.

Four new unit tests exercise the empty-lookup write, tighten-
existing, keep-tighter-existing, and no-session-no-op paths,
parallel to the existing reactive-mirror test trio.

Johnathan Corgan 2f95929862 nostr: public-IP discovery for UDP/TCP advert publication
When a UDP transport had `advertise_on_nostr: true` + `public: true`
+ `bind_addr: 0.0.0.0:NNNN`, the advert builder previously read the
kernel's `local_addr()`, found `0.0.0.0`, filtered it out (correctly
— wildcard isn't a valid advertised endpoint), and silently emitted
no UDP endpoint in the published advert. Operators on AWS EIP / GCP
/ Azure setups (where binding to the public IP directly is impossible
because 1:1 NAT does the address translation off-host) had no way to
advertise UDP without binding to a specific local IP — and no log
explaining what was happening. TCP had the same shape, with no
`public: true` precondition.

Three pieces, layered. UDP gets zero-config autodiscovery via STUN;
both UDP and TCP get an explicit operator-supplied override; the
fall-through path now logs loudly instead of silently skipping.

UDP public-IP autodiscovery (STUN)
----------------------------------
In the UDP `is_public()` + wildcard-bind branch, run a one-shot
STUN observation against an ephemeral UDP socket on the daemon's
configured `stun_servers`. Take the reflexive IPv4 (the
STUN-reported port is the ephemeral source port and is discarded),
combine with the configured listener port for the advert
(`udp:<reflexive-ip>:<port>`). Works on AWS EIP / GCP / Azure
1:1-NAT setups because STUN sees the public-Internet egress IP and
the bind port is preserved through 1:1 NAT.

Result is cached per-transport on a new `public_udp_addr_cache`
field on `NostrDiscovery` (keyed by `TransportId.as_u32()`).
Asymmetric cache TTL: a successful observation is cached for
`advert_refresh_secs` (default 30 min) so we don't STUN every
refresh tick. A failed observation is cached for only 60s
(`PUBLIC_UDP_ADDR_FAILURE_TTL`) so a transient STUN flake at
startup retries within ~a minute and the advert grows its UDP
endpoint as soon as STUN starts working — rather than waiting the
full 30-min cycle.

The shared `observe_traversal_addresses` STUN helper had a
hard-coded 2s per-server response wait, right for the
per-traversal flow (latency-sensitive — 3 STUN servers worst-case
= 6s) but too short for the one-shot advert-publish startup
discovery. Parameterized `per_server_timeout` on the helper, with
two named constants in `stun.rs`: `TRAVERSAL_STUN_TIMEOUT = 2s`
(existing call sites) and `ADVERT_STUN_TIMEOUT = 5s` (new
public-UDP discovery path). Both use `tokio::time::timeout_at`
under the hood, so success returns immediately — the timeout is
only the worst case.

`external_addr` override (UDP + TCP)
------------------------------------
New `external_addr: Option<String>` field on `transports.udp.*`
and `transports.tcp.*` for explicit advertise-as override. Takes
precedence over both the bound `local_addr` and (for UDP) the
STUN-derived autodiscovery.

Required for TCP on cloud-NAT setups (AWS EIP, GCP/Azure external
IPs) where binding to the public IP directly fails with
`EADDRNOTAVAIL` because the public IP isn't on a host interface —
the network fabric does 1:1 NAT off-host. Without this field the
operator's only TCP path was "leave advert off" or "find a way to
make the public IP locally bindable."

For UDP, `external_addr` is optional but useful as a deterministic
alternative to STUN. Operators who want to skip STUN egress, whose
STUN servers are blocked, or who want the daemon to not depend on
external services for advert content can specify it explicitly.

The accessor parses two shapes:

- Bare IP (`"54.183.70.180"` or `"2001:db8::1"`): combines with
  the configured `bind_addr` port.
- Full host:port (`"54.183.70.180:8443"` or `"[2001:db8::1]:443"`):
  used verbatim — useful for port-forward setups where the
  externally-visible port differs from the bind port.

Final precedence in `Node::build_overlay_advert` (now async, only
caller `refresh_overlay_advert` was already async):

- UDP: `external_addr` → non-wildcard `local_addr` → STUN → loud warn
- TCP: `external_addr` → non-wildcard `local_addr` → loud warn

Loud warns instead of silent skips
----------------------------------
The wildcard-bind fall-through paths now log a `warn!` pointing at
the operator-side fixes:

- UDP: "set transports.udp.external_addr, bind to a specific
  public IP, or ensure node.discovery.nostr.stun_servers is
  reachable"
- TCP: "Either set external_addr to the public IP (recommended for
  cloud 1:1-NAT setups) or bind explicitly to the public IP"

Replaces the silent skip that previously cost operators a
debugging session when the advert mysteriously contained only the
Tor onion endpoint.

Tests

parser (IPv4/IPv6, bare/full, malformed) and the accessor (UDP
with default bind, UDP with explicit port override, UDP unset,

Johnathan Corgan bcc9c525d3 nostr: per-peer NAT-traversal failure suppression and clock-skew handling
Public-test daemons with populous open-discovery caches generate
sustained NAT-traversal-failure WARN volume (~140/hour, ~3500/day)
against cache-learned peers that have gone offline — their adverts
are absent from major Nostr relays but cached entries persist until
their advertised `valid_until` expires. The daemon kept publishing
offers indefinitely under exponential backoff with no per-peer
suppression, drowning operator signal and hammering relays. A
parallel concern: the strict freshness check at signal.rs silently
rejected offers under modest clock skew (now_ms() anchors to
SystemTime once at startup, so post-startup NTP step adjustments
don't propagate on long-uptime daemons), indistinguishable from
"peer is offline."

Six independent improvements layered on the existing retry logic.

Per-npub WARN log rate-limit
----------------------------
New `FailureState` struct on `NostrDiscovery` records per-npub
`last_warn_at_ms`. Subsequent failures inside `warn_log_interval_secs`
(default 5 min) emit DEBUG instead of WARN. Each WARN now also
carries `consecutive_failures` and remaining `cooldown_secs` so
operators can read the trajectory without grepping multiple lines.

Per-npub consecutive-failure counter + extended cooldown
--------------------------------------------------------
After `failure_streak_threshold` (default 5) consecutive failures
against a peer, the next `extended_cooldown_secs` (default 1800)
of attempts are suppressed by pushing
`retry_pending[npub].retry_after_ms` past the cooldown wall. The
open-discovery sweep also consults `cooldown_until` and increments
a new `skipped_cooldown` counter so a peer whose `retry_pending`
was cleared by max_retries doesn't get re-enqueued during the
cooldown window. Caps offer-publish rate per dead peer regardless
of how often the sweep tries to re-enqueue.

Stale-advert eviction on streak-threshold transition
----------------------------------------------------
On the threshold-crossing transition (one-shot, not every
subsequent failure), `tokio::spawn` an active re-fetch of the
peer's Kind 37195 advert from `advert_relays`. Three outcomes:
- absent on relays → cache evicted; sweep won't re-enqueue
  (peer is genuinely gone).
- newer `created_at` → cache refreshed + streak reset
  (peer republished; allowed to retry immediately).
- same → cache untouched; cooldown stands.

Cost: ~one fetch per dead peer per 30-min cooldown cycle, vs
hundreds of offer publishes/hour today.

Clock-skew tolerance on freshness check
---------------------------------------
`signal.rs` `validate_offer_freshness` and
`validate_traversal_answer_for_offer` now allow ±60s grace beyond
strict TTL. Both return a new `FreshnessOutcome` enum so callers
can DEBUG-log when an offer/answer was only accepted via the grace
window. `FRESHNESS_SKEW_TOLERANCE_MS` is hard-coded — loosening
this past minutes erodes the freshness/replay security boundary
and operators tend to tune in the wrong direction.

NTP-style skew estimate (offer_received_at echo)
------------------------------------------------
Added optional `offerReceivedAt: Option<u64>` field to
`TraversalAnswer` payload. Responder fills it with `now_ms()` at
offer-receipt time. Initiator computes the standard NTP offset
formula `((T2-T1) + (T3-T4)) / 2` against the round-trip and
DEBUG-logs when `|skew| ≥ 30s`. Skew is also stashed in
`FailureState` and surfaced in `show_peers`. Non-breaking — older
responders that don't fill the field still produce valid answers,
and `estimate_clock_skew` returns `None`.

Per-peer state in `show_peers` JSON
-----------------------------------
Each peer entry in `show_peers` now carries:

  "nostr_traversal": {
    "consecutive_failures": <u32>,
    "in_cooldown": <bool>,
    "cooldown_until_ms": <u64 | null>,
    "last_observed_skew_ms": <i64 | null>
  }

Always emitted (schema-stable); values populated when discovery is
enabled and the npub has a recorded entry. Required a new public
`Node::nostr_discovery_handle()` accessor and refactored
`FailureState`'s internal Mutex from `tokio::sync` to `std::sync`
(operations never hold across await), which lets the synchronous
`show_peers` handler call `snapshot()` directly without the
dispatcher becoming async.

New config knobs (under `node.discovery.nostr`)
-----------------------------------------------
  failure_streak_threshold: 5
  extended_cooldown_secs: 1800
  warn_log_interval_secs: 300
  failure_state_max_entries: 4096

Johnathan Corgan e08f42e3cc Pin discovery state machine: open-discovery sweep + per-attempt lookup timeout
Cover two adjacent runtime behaviors in the discovery state machine
that were previously unpinned at the test level.

1. Open-discovery startup sweep iterate-filter-queue contract.

Cover the runtime sweep behavior: iterate advert cache, apply
skip-filters (own-pubkey, already-connected peers), queue eligible
entries to retry_pending. The config layer was tested but the sweep's
own filtering logic was unpinned.

src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs: add #[cfg(test)] impl block with
three pub(crate) helpers — new_for_test() builds a minimal
NostrDiscovery with empty cache and no relays/background tasks (uses
fresh nostr::Keys signer + Client::builder().autoconnect(false));
cached_advert_for_test() wraps an OverlayEndpointAdvert into a
CachedOverlayAdvert valid for 1h; insert_advert_for_test() writes
direct to the advert_cache RwLock. All three vanish from release
builds via cfg-gating.

src/node/lifecycle.rs: visibility-only widen on
run_open_discovery_sweep from private async fn to
pub(in crate::node) async fn so the in-tree test can drive it
directly. Same pattern as already-pub(in crate::node) handlers in
src/node/handlers/.

src/node/tests/discovery.rs: add #[tokio::test]
test_open_discovery_sweep_queues_eligible_skips_filtered. Builds
Node + Arc<NostrDiscovery>, injects 3 adverts (eligible, already-
connected peer, own-pubkey), invokes the sweep, asserts retry_pending
contains exactly the eligible entry with matching peer_config npub
and the two filtered entries do NOT appear.

2. Per-attempt timeout state machine in check_pending_lookups.

Cover the central new behavior of f16b837: the [1, 2, 4, 8] retry
sequence (cumulative deadlines 1100/3100/7100/15100ms), one fresh
LookupRequest per attempt, and final-timeout reaching the unreachable
state. The opt-in DiscoveryBackoff machinery was well-tested but inert
at default config; this pins the state machine that runs by default.

Add test_check_pending_lookups_default_sequence_unreachable to
src/node/tests/discovery.rs. Constructs a Node with a peer that has
the target in its bloom but cannot respond (no Noise session — the
state-machine bookkeeping is independent of wire-send success).
Drives check_pending_lookups deterministically through:

  t=1100   → second attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=3100   → third attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=7100   → fourth attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=15099  → no-op (one ms before final deadline)
  t=15100  → final timeout

At t=15100 asserts: pending_lookups[target] removed; resp_timed_out
counter +1 (this is the actual counter name); pending_tun_packets
[target] removed (queued packet dropped); a frame on the TUN sender
with IPv6 + next_header=58 + ICMPv6 type=1 (Destination Unreachable).

Fresh-request_id-per-attempt is structurally guaranteed: LookupRequest
::generate() unconditionally calls rand::random::<u64>(), and the
test asserts req_initiated increments by exactly 1 per retry (proving
initiate_lookup runs fresh each time, not a resend of cached state).
The originator's request_id isn't stored on the originator side
(deliberately omitted from recent_requests so the response is
recognized as "ours"), so direct request_id capture is not feasible
and counter-tick is the load-bearing observable.

No production logic touched; no visibility widening needed
(check_pending_lookups was already pub(in crate::node)).

Johnathan Corgan 81c0547bdf Pin consecutive decrypt-failure counter and threshold-20 force removal
Cover the security-relevant defensive signal: sustained decrypt
failures indicate key drift or active probing; threshold-trip force-
removes the peer.

src/peer/active.rs (+43): two unit tests on the counter struct itself
- test_increment_decrypt_failures_monotonic asserts each
  increment_decrypt_failures() call returns count+1 for at least 25
  iterations
- test_reset_decrypt_failures_zeroes_counter asserts the reset
  helper zeroes a non-zero counter and is idempotent

src/node/tests/decrypt_failure.rs (new, 93 lines): end-to-end test
- Builds a Node + connected peer via existing make_completed_connection
  / add_connection / promote_connection harness so peers_by_index is
  exercised, not just peers
- Drives the peer to threshold-20 by calling handle_decrypt_failure 20
  times; asserts iterations 1..20 leave the peer registered with
  monotonically increasing counter, then iteration 20 evicts from both
  peers and peers_by_index

src/node/handlers/encrypted.rs: visibility-only widen on
handle_decrypt_failure from private to pub(in crate::node) so the
in-tree test can drive the threshold logic without re-implementing
it. Same pattern as the already-pub(in crate::node)
handle_encrypted_frame in the same file.

Threshold pinned: DECRYPT_FAILURE_THRESHOLD = 20 at
src/node/handlers/encrypted.rs:11.

Johnathan Corgan 00f4a4c7af Pin bloom-not-closer-than-tree-parent fall-through to greedy tree
Add test_routing_bloom_hit_not_closer_falls_through_to_tree to
src/node/tests/routing.rs covering the regression class fixed in
a859da7: bloom candidates exist BUT none are strictly closer to
destination than the tree parent. Pre-fix find_next_hop returned
None (NoRoute); post-fix it falls through to greedy tree routing.
Existing tests covered bloom-hit-closer, bloom-preferred-over-tree,
no-bloom-hit-tree-fallback, and bloom-hit-without-coords — but the
in-between case was unpinned.

Topology: self is tree root with two children (tree_peer at distance
1, bloom_peer at distance 3); destination is one hop below tree_peer
(self distance 2). Only bloom_peer advertises dest in its filter.
Distance of the only bloom candidate (3) is not strictly less than
self's (2), so select_best_candidate returns None and the call must
fall through to greedy tree routing returning tree_peer. Asserts
explicit identity (assert_eq! tree_peer_addr) and rules out the
wrong-peer regression (assert_ne! bloom_peer_addr).

Johnathan Corgan 037a965a93 Mirror reactive MtuExceeded into path_mtu_lookup
When a transit forwarder drops an oversized data packet and reports
the bottleneck back via MtuExceeded, the receive-side handler
already updates per-session MmpSessionState::path_mtu (used by PTB
synthesis to feed kernel TCP). It did not, however, update
path_mtu_lookup — the per-destination map the TUN reader/writer
consult at TCP MSS clamp time. So forward-path-asymmetry flows kept
clamping at the discovery reverse-path value (too generous for the
actual forward-path budget) on every subsequent SYN.

Add the missing write at the same point apply_notification runs.
Keep the tighter of existing-or-new — the clamp must never loosen.
Same write-shape as seed_path_mtu_for_link_peer.

Tests:

- Three focused unit tests on handle_mtu_exceeded for the empty,
  tighten, and keep-tighter cases.
- Extended test_multihop_pmtud_heterogeneous_mtu to assert the
  lookup tightens after the wire-level MtuExceeded propagation,
  alongside its existing PathMtuState assertion.

Adds two #[cfg(test)] accessors on Node (path_mtu_lookup_get /
path_mtu_lookup_insert) and bumps handle_mtu_exceeded to
pub(in crate::node) for direct test invocation.

Johnathan Corgan b02eaf2c5b Merge branch 'master' into next
Forward-merges the squashed per-destination TCP MSS clamping work
(master `ae60743`) into next.

Auto-merge of source files clean. Two pre-existing test assertions
on the next-side discovery tests were updated as part of merge
resolution to reflect the target-edge MTU fold introduced by the
merged-in commit:

- test_transit_forwards_when_mtu_sufficient: 1400 → 1280 = min(target-edge 1280, transit 1400)
- test_response_path_mtu_four_node_chain: 1350 → 1280 = min(target-edge 1280, transits 1350+1500)

Resulting next tree is bit-for-bit identical to the pre-squash next
state previously verified by full local CI sweep (29 + 1 next-only
suites pass on `6a8b519` in 23m 41s).

Johnathan Corgan ae607431eb Per-destination TCP MSS clamping at the TUN boundary
Adds source-side TCP MSS clamping informed by per-destination path
MTU learned via discovery, with a conservative IPv6-minimum-derived
ceiling for cold flows where discovery has not yet completed. Closes
the multi-hop default-config TCP wedges observed in production where
a sender's local-floor MSS exceeds what some intermediate forwarder
hop is willing to carry: silent drops, no PTB feedback through the
userspace TUN to the kernel TCP stack, retransmits at the same too-
large MSS, application connection times out.

## Architecture

A new `Arc<RwLock<HashMap<FipsAddress, u16>>>` field
`path_mtu_lookup` on Node mirrors the per-destination path MTU in a
form accessible from sync TUN reader/writer threads. A new
`per_flow_max_mss` helper in `src/upper/tun.rs` reads the lookup at
SYN-clamp time and returns the appropriate ceiling for the flow.

Three write sites populate `path_mtu_lookup`:

1. **Discovery originator branch** of `handle_lookup_response`:
   the path MTU bottleneck accumulated through the reverse path
   lands here when a LookupResponse arrives at the originator.
   Same value also lands in `coord_cache` per the existing
   `insert_with_path_mtu` API.

2. **FMP peer-promotion seed** (`seed_path_mtu_for_link_peer`):
   when an FMP link-layer peer is promoted to active, the local
   outgoing-link MTU on the peer's transport seeds the lookup.
   Tighter existing values (learned via discovery) are preserved;
   the seed only writes when no entry exists or the existing
   value is looser than the link MTU. Without this seed,
   directly-configured peers (auto_connect / static peer config)
   would leave `path_mtu_lookup` empty for their FipsAddress
   because the FSP session establishes without ever issuing a
   LookupRequest.

3. **Target-edge fold at `send_lookup_response`**: when a node is
   the discovery target, it folds its own outgoing-link MTU to
   the response's next-hop into `path_mtu` before sending.
   Without this fold, the response leaves the target with
   `path_mtu = u16::MAX` and only intermediate transits min-fold;
   the target's first reverse-path hop is never represented in
   the bottleneck calculation. Refactored the existing transit-
   side min-fold into a shared `apply_outgoing_link_mtu_to_response`
   helper called from both sites.

## Read-side: per_flow_max_mss

Two TUN call sites consume the lookup:

- Outbound `handle_tun_packet` clamps SYN MSS using packet[24..40]
  (IPv6 destination) as the lookup key.
- Inbound `TunWriter::run` clamps SYN-ACK MSS using packet[8..24]
  (IPv6 source).

When the lookup contains a learned value, the helper computes
`min(global_max_mss, effective_ipv6_mtu(path_mtu) - 60)` where 60
is IPv6 (40) + TCP (20) headers and `effective_ipv6_mtu` accounts
for the FIPS encapsulation overhead.

When the lookup is empty for a destination — the cold-flow case —
the helper returns `min(global_max_mss, IPv6-minimum-derived
ceiling)`. RFC 8200 mandates every IPv6 path accept ≥1280-byte
packets, so the IPv6-minimum-derived MSS (1280 - 77 - 60 = 1143)
fits any compliant path. Without this conservative ceiling, the
first SYN to a destination with no learned path MTU exits the TUN
at the kernel-natural MSS (TUN MTU - 60), and the application
connection wedges silently before discovery completes for a
corrected second SYN to fire. The fix is provably safe: the
ceiling is taken with `min` against the local global so operators
with even tighter local floors are never loosened upward.

Subsequent flows pick up the actual learned per-destination value
once discovery (or the FMP-promotion seed for direct peers)
populates the lookup.

## Diagnostic logging

All write and read sites emit instrumentation suitable for
operators bisecting a wedged path:

- `debug!` log on every `path_mtu_lookup` write (discovery
  originator path and FMP-promotion seed path), showing the
  FipsAddress, written value, prior value, and post-write map
  size. `warn!` on poisoned-lock failure path.
- `trace!` log per `per_flow_max_mss` call covering every
  fall-through branch (wrong addr_bytes length, non-fd::/8
  prefix, lookup poisoned, no entry for destination, empty-lookup
  conservative ceiling) and the success path. trace level filters
  out under normal log settings; capture with
  `RUST_LOG=info,fips::node::handlers::discovery=debug,fips::upper::tun=trace`.

## Tests

15 new unit tests across 3 files:

- `per_flow_max_mss` (8 tests in `src/upper/tun.rs::tests`):
  empty-lookup conservative ceiling, empty-lookup global-smaller
  floor, learned-value-overrides-conservative, per-destination
  smaller, per-destination larger capped by global, non-fips
  addr, short addr slice, per-destination independence.
- `seed_path_mtu_for_link_peer` (4 tests in
  `src/node/tests/unit.rs`): seed when empty, keep tighter
  existing, tighten looser existing, no-op for unknown
  transport.
- Discovery integration (3 tests in `src/node/tests/discovery.rs`):
  apply_outgoing_link_mtu_to_response on unknown peer no-op,
  two-node target-edge fold (path_mtu reflects target-edge link),
  three-node chain transit min-fold (existing test, updated for
  target-edge inclusion).

Two pre-existing discovery tests had assertions updated to
account for the target-edge fold:

- `test_response_path_mtu_two_node`: previously asserted
  `u16::MAX` (no transit to min-fold); now asserts 1280 (the
  test transport MTU, folded in by send_lookup_response).
- `test_response_path_mtu_four_node_chain`: previously asserted
  1350 (transit MTUs only); now asserts 1280 (target-edge MTU
  is the bottleneck).
- `test_transit_forwards_when_mtu_sufficient`: previously
  asserted 1400 (transit MTU only); now asserts 1280 (target-
  edge MTU is the bottleneck).

## Verification

Local CI on this commit: 29/29 suites pass, 1105 lib tests pass,
clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings clean, cargo fmt
clean. Production deploy verified via trace capture across the
managed fleet: cold-flow conservative ceiling branch fires on
first SYN, learned-lookup branch takes over once discovery
completes, both behaviors observable end-to-end at the SYN MSS
on the wire.

No wire-format change. No config-format change.

Johnathan Corgan da5d23ccb7 Document nostr-nat ephemeral UDP transport MTU choice
Adopted ephemeral UDP transports created by adopt_established_traversal()
default to UdpConfig::default() (MTU=1280, IPv6 minimum) when the
bootstrap runtime hands a socket without an explicit transport_config
override. This is by design: NAT-traversal middlebox MTU is unpredictable
and the IPv6 minimum is the only value guaranteed by spec to survive
arbitrary paths.

Add an explanatory comment at the call site so future readers find the
rationale without spelunking through ISSUE-2026-0013, and so any future
change to the inheritance behavior is a deliberate decision rather than
an accidental refactor.

No behavior change.

Johnathan Corgan 8448e38510 Make Node::transport_mtu() deterministic across restarts (TCP black hole fix)
Default-config TCP flows between fips peers were stalling completely
(cwnd-pinned, 0 bps for 10s+) on a non-trivial fraction of restarts.
Reproducible with iperf3 between any two peers.

Root cause: `Node::transport_mtu()` iterated `self.transports.values()`
(HashMap with default RandomState hasher) and returned `handle.mtu()`
of the first one whose `is_operational()` returned true. Two stacked
sources of non-determinism stacked on each other: HashMap iteration
order is randomized per-process via RandomState, and async transport
`.start()` completion order races each daemon restart.

The returned value drives the TCP MSS clamp ceiling computed once at
TUN init (src/upper/tun.rs:501-524) and stored as immutable max_mss
in the reader/writer thread state. When the picker landed on a
transport with MTU > 1357 (any non-UDP-1280 in the standard fleet
defaults), `max_mss > 1220` (kernel's natural fips0-MTU-derived MSS),
the daemon's clamp was silently a no-op, and the kernel emitted
1220-byte segments. Those wrap into 1280-byte IPv6 → 1357-byte fips
datagrams that exceed UDP-1280 transports at any forwarding hop,
causing silent drops with no PTB feedback to the kernel TCP stack.

Fix: return min across operational transports instead of first-iterated.
With UDP-1280 in the configured set (the common case),
`transport_mtu = 1280`, `max_mss = 1143 < 1220`, daemon's clamp
engages, MSS=1143 reaches the wire, packets fit, throughput recovers.

Empirical green light from a single-UDP-config end-to-end test:
iperf3-without-`-M` recovered to ~21 Mbps with no operator-side nft
TCPMSS rules.

Adds three unit tests:
- transport_mtu_returns_min_across_operational: pin selection to
  smallest MTU when multiple operational transports differ.
- transport_mtu_fallback_when_no_operational_transports: 1280 fallback.
- transport_mtu_min_with_single_operational: trivial single-transport
  case.

The `effective_ipv6_mtu` field reported by `fipsctl show status` was
also racy (consequence of the same bug); fixed by this change as a
side effect.

Johnathan Corgan ab2edec2c6 Add Nostr open-discovery startup sweep with diagnostic logging
Under `node.discovery.nostr.policy: open`, the per-tick auto-dial in
`queue_open_discovery_retries` was supposed to pick up adverts cached
from the relay subscription backlog at startup, but in practice only
adverts arriving live (after the daemon was up) were being dialed.
Backlog adverts sat in the in-memory cache until they aged out.

Adds a one-shot startup sweep that runs once per daemon start, gated
identically to the per-tick sweep (`enabled` && `policy == open`),
after a configurable settle delay so the relay subscription backlog
has time to populate the advert cache. The sweep iterates the cache
with the same skip-filters as the per-tick path (statically-configured
peers, already-connected, retry-pending, connecting) plus a tighter
age filter: only adverts whose `created_at` is within
`startup_sweep_max_age_secs` of now are queued.

Two new config fields under `node.discovery.nostr`:
- `startup_sweep_delay_secs` (default 5)
- `startup_sweep_max_age_secs` (default 3600 = one hour)

Both are only consulted when `policy == open`; under any other
policy the sweep is a no-op.

Adds diagnostic logging to the open-discovery sweep so operators can
verify what the auto-dial path is doing on each daemon bring-up:
info-level on each retry-queued enqueue (with peer short-npub and
advert age), and a one-line summary on every startup sweep and on
any per-tick sweep that queues at least one retry. The summary
breaks down skipped candidates by reason (age, configured, self,
already-connected, retry-pending, connecting, no-endpoints,
invalid-npub) — currently the path was silent so there was no
operator-visible signal that the cache iteration was running.

Refactors the existing `queue_open_discovery_retries` body into a
shared `run_open_discovery_sweep(max_age_secs, caller)` helper so
the per-tick and startup paths share filter/queue logic and only
differ in the age filter and log label. Surfaces `created_at` from
`NostrDiscovery::cached_open_discovery_candidates` (return tuple
extended) so the age filter has the data it needs.

Three new unit tests in `config::node::tests` cover the new defaults,
YAML override round-trip, and partial-YAML default fallback.

Johnathan Corgan 239cbdc4ba Fix Tor onion adverts missing port in Nostr overlay discovery
The Nostr overlay advert publisher serialized `transport: tor`
endpoints as a bare `<onion>.onion` hostname with no port. The Tor
address parser requires `<host>:<port>` form and rejected the bare
shape with `expected host:port`. Any peer receiving a Tor-only
advert went into a persistent retry-fail loop on jittered backoff
until the advert aged out of the discovery cache. The bug had been
latent for as long as Tor adverts have been published on Nostr, and
was masked in deployments where every node also advertised a
non-Tor transport (peers fell through to the working endpoint).
Surfaced first on a deployment where Tor was the only advert path.

Publisher now emits `<onion>.onion:<port>` using a new
`transports.tor.advertised_port` config field that defaults to 443,
matching the Tor `HiddenServicePort 443 127.0.0.1:<bind_port>`
convention. Operators whose torrc uses a non-default virtual port
can override.

Adds a unit test that pins the publisher/parser contract: formats
the advert exactly as the publisher does and asserts `parse_tor_addr`
accepts the result; asserts the bare-onion form (the bug) does not
parse, catching any future regression that drops the port again.

Parser is unchanged (already correct).

Johnathan Corgan 96c6b7dea8 Admit rekey msg1 from established peers when addr forms differ
Companion to the ethernet `accept_connections: false` rekey-deadlock
fix from earlier this release: the same dual-init failure mode shows
up over UDP when peers register by hostname, and the existing
addr_to_link-only carve-out in `should_admit_msg1` doesn't cover it.

The carve-out's first predicate keys `addr_to_link` by the literal
`TransportAddr` that `initiate_connection` inserted, which is the
hostname-form when a peer config carries a hostname (e.g.,
`core-vm.tail65015.ts.net:2121`). Inbound packets always arrive with
numeric source addrs because `udp_receive_loop` builds the
`TransportAddr` from the `SocketAddr` the kernel reports via
`recvfrom`. `TransportAddr` equality is byte-exact, so the two forms
don't match and the lookup misses. With `udp.accept_connections:
false` (or `udp.outbound_only: true`, which forces it false) the
gate then rejects the rekey msg1 from an established peer. The
dual-init tie-breaker stalls because the loser side never produces
msg2; both sides retry indefinitely and the winner side keeps
logging "Dual rekey initiation: we win, dropping their msg1" at 1Hz.

The earlier ethernet fix didn't generalize to this variant because
ethernet TransportAddrs are always numeric MAC bytes — both the
config-time form and the inbound-arrival form match identically.

Add a second predicate to `should_admit_msg1`: an active peer's
`current_addr()` matching `(transport_id, remote_addr)`.
`current_addr` is updated and refreshed from inbound encrypted-frame
source addrs (`handlers/encrypted.rs`), which are always numeric
`SocketAddr`-form, so this catches the established peer regardless
of how its `addr_to_link` key was originally inserted. The fast
`addr_to_link` check stays first; the iteration over peers is
bounded by peer count and only runs when the first predicate misses.

Regression coverage in this commit:

- Unit test `test_should_admit_msg1_admits_rekey_when_addr_form_differs`
  in `src/node/tests/handshake.rs`. Constructs the failing scenario
  in-process: `addr_to_link` populated with hostname-form key, peer's
  `current_addr` at the resolved numeric form, query with numeric form.
  Without the new predicate this fails immediately.

- New integration topology `rekey-outbound-only` plus matching
  docker-compose profile. Same 5-node mesh shape as `rekey-accept-off`
  but `inject-config` sets `udp.outbound_only: true` on node-b and
  rewrites node-b's peer-c address from the numeric docker IP to the
  docker hostname (`node-c:2121`), reproducing the production
  hostname-vs-numeric mismatch. The test asserts no sustained
  "Dual rekey initiation: we win" log lines on any node (>10 = bug)
  and the existing rekey health checks catch the connectivity loss
  the loop produces.

- `testing/ci-local.sh` and `.github/workflows/ci.yml` extended to
  run the new variant in the local sweep and the GitHub CI integration
  matrix alongside `rekey` and `rekey-accept-off`.

Verified locally: full `bash testing/ci-local.sh` sweep passes 29/29
suites (23m 12s) with the new variant green; 1084 unit tests pass.

Johnathan Corgan e641eb5b5f Drop the nostr-discovery cargo feature flag
Make Nostr-mediated overlay discovery unconditional, mirroring the
philosophy of PR #79's collapse of the tui/ble/gateway features in
favor of platform cfg gates. nostr / nostr-sdk are pure Rust over
WebSockets/TCP, so they build cleanly on every FIPS-supported
platform — there is no need for the parallel feature gate.

The flag was already in `default = [...]`, so no behavior change for
anyone using `cargo build` without `--no-default-features`. Operators
who explicitly disabled the feature will now find Nostr code present
in the binary; the runtime check `node.discovery.nostr.enabled` still
controls whether the runtime starts.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove the `[features]` table entirely.
- Drop `optional = true` from `nostr` and `nostr-sdk`.

Source: 27 cfg sites collapsed across 5 files —
`src/discovery.rs`, `src/discovery/nostr/mod.rs`,
`src/node/handlers/rx_loop.rs`, `src/node/lifecycle.rs`,
`src/node/mod.rs`. Two `#[cfg(not(feature = "nostr-discovery"))]`
fallback blocks (the udp:nat-without-runtime debug-log path and the
"feature not compiled in" warning at startup) were removed as dead
code; the always-on path already handles the missing-runtime case
via `nostr_discovery: Option<NostrDiscovery>`.

Packaging and tooling:
- `packaging/openwrt-ipk/Makefile`: drop a stale `--features gateway`
  flag (the `gateway` feature was already removed in PR #79; this
  was a leftover that the build path tolerated only because cargo
  ignored unknown feature names).
- `testing/scripts/build.sh`: drop `DEFAULT_CARGO_BUILD_ARGS=(--features
  nostr-discovery)`; defaults are empty.
- `packaging/common/fips.yaml`: drop the "requires the
  nostr-discovery feature" comment from the discovery section.

Bundled cleanup:
- Apply `cargo clippy --fix` against three pre-existing warnings in
  `src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs` and `src/discovery/nostr/stun.rs`
  (collapsed `if let Some` chain; two redundant `as i32` casts).
  These were always present but masked when the feature gate was
  off; they surface now that the code is unconditionally compiled.
- `cargo fmt` settled two minor formatting drift sites in
  `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs` and `src/config/mod.rs`.

Tests: 1083 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored. clippy clean. fmt clean.

Johnathan Corgan 37c2973e2f Test infrastructure overhaul: gateway robustness + full CI coverage
Single combined commit covering five interlocking pieces of test and
CI work that landed during the v0.3.0-prep cycle.

## fips-gateway robustness

- src/bin/fips-gateway.rs DNS upstream probe converted from a 3-second
  hard-fail to a bounded retry loop (5 attempts × 1s timeout, 1s sleep
  between attempts; ~10s worst case). Covers the cold-boot race where
  the daemon's TUN is up but the DNS responder at [::1]:5354 is still
  binding. Each failed attempt logs at INFO. In production the binary's
  retry is the live recovery mechanism; with retry it recovers silently
  instead of relying on Restart=on-failure (~5s blip + spurious ERROR
  per cycle).
- packaging/debian/fips-gateway.service `ExecStartPre` now waits up to
  30 seconds for the daemon's `fips0` TUN to appear before exec'ing
  the gateway binary. Eliminates the cold-boot race where the gateway
  exits with `fips0 interface not found` and recovers via
  `Restart=on-failure`, producing a 5-second blip and a spurious error
  log per restart cycle.
- testing/docker/entrypoint.sh gateway-mode waits up to 30s for the
  daemon's DNS responder to bind [::1]:5354 (probes once per second
  with `dig @::1 -p 5354 ... test.fips`) before exec'ing fips-gateway.
  Belt-and-suspenders with the binary's own retry: in CI we want
  deterministic startup ordering. On timeout, fall through so the
  binary's probe reports the definitive error.

## Test infrastructure DNS bind migration to ::1

After session 359's daemon DNS-bind default flipped from `127.0.0.1`
to `::1` (the production fix for ISSUE-2026-0002), the static-test
infrastructure was carrying a stale workaround that overrode the
default back to IPv4 loopback. The fips-gateway integration test
exposed the divergence: the gateway probes its DNS upstream at
`[::1]:5354` (production default) while the daemon was binding
`127.0.0.1:5354` from the template override — IPv6-explicit sockets
do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so the upstream probe exhausted
retries and the gateway exited.

- Drop the explicit `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` line from every test
  config that emits it: testing/static/configs/node.template.yaml,
  testing/chaos/configs/node.template.yaml, the sidecar heredoc in
  testing/docker/entrypoint.sh, testing/acl-allowlist/generate-configs.sh
  (six per-node blocks), testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh, and
  the four tor templates under testing/tor/. Daemon picks up its
  production `::1` default.
- Flip the dnsmasq forwarder for `.fips` in testing/docker/Dockerfile
  from `127.0.0.1#5354` to `::1#5354` so dnsmasq on the shared test
  image continues to reach the daemon. Template and Dockerfile must
  move together since most static suites resolve `<npub>.fips` via
  the test-image dnsmasq.

## rekey-accept-off integration variant + UDP unit test

- New `rekey-accept-off` topology and docker-compose profile under
  testing/static/. 2-node variant where node-b runs with
  `udp.accept_connections: false`. Pins the regression class that
  ISSUE-2026-0004 fixed (cross-connection winner's rekey msg1 was
  being filtered by the accept_connections gate, breaking rekey).
- testing/static/scripts/rekey-test.sh accepts REKEY_TOPOLOGY and
  REKEY_ACCEPT_OFF_NODES env vars; its inject-config subcommand
  applies the per-node `udp.accept_connections: false` edit, and
  the test asserts no sustained "Dual rekey initiation" log lines.
- New UDP variant of `should_admit_msg1` admit-rekey unit test in
  src/node/tests/handshake.rs.

## ci-local.sh full integration coverage

- New runner functions and dispatcher entries for `acl-allowlist`,
  `nat-cone` / `nat-symmetric` / `nat-lan`, `rekey-accept-off`,
  `dns-resolver`, `deb-install`. Each integrates with the existing
  summary tracking via `record`.
- New `--with-tor` flag (off by default) gates `tor-socks5-outbound`
  and `tor-directory-mode` runners. Tor stays opt-in because both
  harnesses depend on the live Tor network and would introduce a
  flake source unrelated to the FIPS code.
- New suite arrays (`ACL_SUITES`, `NAT_SUITES`, `DNS_RESOLVER_SUITES`,
  `DEB_INSTALL_SUITES`, `TOR_SUITES`) drive both the default sweep
  and `--list` output.
- `run_suite` extended to accept the new suite names for `--only`
  invocations.

## GitHub CI matrix expansions

- `gateway` matrix entry runs testing/static/scripts/gateway-test.sh
  against the existing docker-compose `gateway` profile.
- `rekey-accept-off` matrix entry exercises the new topology with
  REKEY_ACCEPT_OFF_NODES=b.
- `deb-install` matrix (debian12 + ubuntu24 + ubuntu26) runs
  testing/deb-install/test.sh with privileged systemd containers.
  ~5-7 min cold cache, ~2 min warm per distro. Self-contained: builds
  its own .deb in a Debian 12 cargo-deb builder image; does not
  depend on the build job's pre-built artifact.
- `dns-resolver` matrix entry runs the full 13-scenario harness
  (per-distro systemd resolver-backend tests + real-fips end-to-end
  scenarios) in a single job. Pins the production DNS bind path that
  ISSUE-2026-0002 lived in. ~7-12 min warm, ~12-15 min cold.

Verified locally: full `bash testing/ci-local.sh` sweep passes,
including 5/5 deb-install distros and all 13 dns-resolver scenarios.
Tor-inclusive sweep (`--with-tor`) verified in a follow-up run.

Johnathan Corgan 6def31bcf6 Admit rekey msg1 from established peers regardless of accept_connections
The accept_connections gate at the top of handle_msg1 was applied
unconditionally, so rekey msg1 from a peer with whom an established
link already existed was dropped on the same path as fresh handshakes
from strangers. Combined with the dual-init tie-breaker, this
deadlocked at ~25 minutes when both sides' rekey timers fired
near-simultaneously: the smaller-NodeAddr side wins as initiator and
expects the larger side to consume its rekey msg1, but if the larger
side has accept_connections=false the gate dropped it. Both sides
retried at 1 Hz indefinitely; the affected peer fell out of MMP-active
rotation.

Extract the gate decision into Node::should_admit_msg1, which admits
unconditionally when addr_to_link already has an entry for the
(transport_id, remote_addr) pair (rekey/restart on an established
session) and otherwise consults the transport's accept_connections().
Fresh msg1 from strangers is still rejected before any Noise crypto.

Three unit tests pin the truth table: no transport (admit), accept_off
no-link (reject, behavior unchanged), accept_off with-link (admit, the
carve-out).

The fix generalizes for free to BLE, which has the same Node-level gate.
TCP and Tor were never subject to this deadlock because their accept
condition is runtime state (bind_addr.is_some() / onion_address.is_some()),
not a config flag.

Johnathan Corgan bf77ececad Fix DNS responder silent-drop on systemd-resolved deployments
The previous default configured systemd-resolved with `resolvectl dns
fips0 [<fips0_addr>]:5354`, intended to bypass an Ubuntu 22 systemd 249
interface-scoping bug. That target collides with the daemon's
mesh-interface filter on Linux: when an IPv6 packet's destination
belongs to a non-loopback interface, the kernel attributes the packet
to that interface in IPV6_PKTINFO (ipi6_ifindex == fips0) even though
loopback delivery is used (tcpdump shows lo). The mesh-interface filter
sees arrival_ifindex == mesh_ifindex and silently drops every query at
trace level — invisible to operators at the default debug level.

Net effect on stock deployments: every .fips query on systemd-resolved
hosts was silently dropped.

Daemon side
-----------

- Default `dns.bind_addr` changes from "::" to "::1" (IPv6 loopback
  only). The mesh-interface filter is then defanged on the default
  path because loopback isn't reachable from mesh peers. The filter
  remains in place defensively for operators who explicitly bind "::"
  to expose a mesh-reachable responder.

fips-dns-setup backend unification
----------------------------------

- New `try_global_drop_in` backend writes
  /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/fips.conf with DNS=[::1]:5354 and
  Domains=~fips. Inserted ahead of `try_resolvectl` in the dispatch
  chain. The standard loopback path has no interface scoping, so
  ipi6_ifindex reports lo and the filter passes.
- All other backends now target [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's
  default IPv6-loopback bind:
  - try_dns_delegate writes DNS=[::1]:5354
  - try_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
  - try_nm_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
- Fixed dns-delegate file path: was /etc/systemd/dns-delegate/, must
  be /etc/systemd/dns-delegate.d/ (with .d suffix). systemd-resolved
  silently ignored the previous path.
- fips-dns-teardown handles the new global-drop-in backend in cleanup.
- The legacy resolvectl per-link backend stays as a fallback,
  documented to require careful daemon bind_addr coordination.

fips-gateway upstream pairing
-----------------------------

- gateway.dns.upstream default changes from 127.0.0.1:5354 to
  [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's default bind. Linux IPv6 sockets
  bound to explicit ::1 do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so the old
  default would have caused the gateway's startup DNS reachability
  probe to time out and systemd to restart-loop the service.
- Operators who set a non-default daemon `dns.bind_addr` must also
  set `gateway.dns.upstream` to match — documented inline.

Documentation
-------------

- packaging/common/fips.yaml and packaging/openwrt-ipk fips.yaml
  examples updated; rationale for the bind_addr choice and the
  daemon/gateway pairing recorded inline.

Test coverage
-------------

- testing/dns-resolver/test.sh: real-fipsd end-to-end scenario added.
  Builds fipsd in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), runs the daemon
  with a real TUN in a privileged container, configures DNS via the
  setup script, and asserts `dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips` returns
  AAAA. Refactored as a parameterized helper running across Debian
  12/13 and Ubuntu 22/24/26 (5 e2e scenarios). Backend-aware
  assertions: on systemd >= 258 the expected backend is dns-delegate;
  on older systemd it's global-drop-in. Strict content checks fail CI
  on any [::1]:5354 drift. fips-gateway also exercised in the
  debian12 scenario to lock the gateway-upstream pairing. Renamed all
  "fipsd" references to "fips" (project convention).

- testing/deb-install/ (new harness): builds the actual .deb via
  cargo-deb in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), installs via apt
  across each target distro, verifies maintainer scripts, conffile
  placement, binary placement, and end-to-end .fips resolution after
  start. Also exercises fips-gateway against the installed daemon to
  verify the gateway/daemon default pairing on a real .deb path.

- This is the test layer that was missing — the previous harness only
  verified config files were written, never that queries reached the
  daemon.

Verified: dns-resolver 78/78 assertions, deb-install 55/55 assertions
across all 5 distros (debian:12, debian:trixie, ubuntu:22.04,
ubuntu:24.04, ubuntu:26.04).

Johnathan Corgan 15753cdc20 Resolve simultaneous-init cross-connection in XX handle_msg3
After the master→next merge brought PR #53's bootstrap-handoff socket
adoption onto next's XX three-message handshake, three integration jobs
(rekey, nat-cone, nat-lan) regressed: the FMP handshake completed but
post-handshake encrypted frames silently dropped — packets_recv stayed
at 0 and link-dead timeout fired every 30s.

Root cause: in symmetric bootstrap-handoff both sides initiate XX in
parallel, running two concurrent handshakes (each side's outbound paired
with the peer's inbound). Each side's handle_msg2 (immediate response
to its own outbound msg1) ran before the peer's outbound msg3 arrived;
peers.contains_key was false, so the "Normal path" promoted the outbound
connection. When the peer's msg3 then arrived, peers contained the peer
at the same epoch and the request fell through to the
"duplicate handshake from same epoch" branch, which tore down the inbound
link without applying the cross-connection tie-breaker. Both sides ended
up keeping their own outbound session whose Noise key material pairs with
the peer's discarded inbound, so each side's their_index pointed at the
peer's inbound session index that was never registered in peers_by_index.

handle_msg2 already has the symmetric handler for the inverse ordering
(msg3-then-msg2). Add the missing simultaneous-init handler in
handle_msg3: when the existing peer is on a different link from this
msg3's pending_inbound link and the session is fresh (<30s, so this
isn't a rekey), apply cross_connection_winner with this_is_outbound=false.
The larger-node side swaps to the inbound session via replace_session and
updates peers_by_index from outbound_idx to inbound_idx; the smaller-node
side keeps its outbound session and frees the inbound's allocated index.
Both sides converge on the same Noise session pair.

Verified: cargo test --lib (1144 passed), cargo fmt + clippy clean,
nat-cone + nat-lan + symmetric NAT scenarios pass, rekey integration
test 70/70 pairs across all phases.

Johnathan Corgan 8a6477b7ff Adapt bootstrap-handoff tests to XX three-way handshake
The two bootstrap-handoff tests were written against the IK two-message
handshake where peer promotion happens after msg2. Under the noise-XX
three-message handshake on this branch, identity is only revealed in
msg3, so peer promotion happens one message later: the responder learns
the initiator's identity in msg3 and only then promotes the peer.

`test_adopted_udp_traversal_completes_handshake`: Previous version ran
two `run_rx_loop` iterations (one per node) and asserted both peers
had been promoted. That works for IK but not XX: after node_a sends
msg1 from `adopt_established_traversal`, node_b's first rx_loop pass
generates msg2 (revealing node_b's identity to node_a), node_a's next
rx_loop pass generates msg3 (revealing node_a's identity to node_b),
and only then does node_b promote node_a. A third rx_loop pass on
node_b is needed.

Restructured the test to use direct `handle_msg{1,2,3}` dispatch via
`packet_rx.recv()` rather than `run_rx_loop` + select cancellation,
matching the pattern already used by
`test_third_peer_can_handshake_via_adopted_transport_socket`. This
sidesteps the issue that `run_rx_loop` does `packet_rx.take()` and a
cancelled future never returns it, so a second rx_loop call fails
with `NotStarted`.

`test_third_peer_can_handshake_via_adopted_transport_socket`: Added
explicit msg3 dispatch on both Alice/Bob and Bob/Colin sub-handshakes
so the responder side actually receives the initiator's identity
before the test asserts peer promotion.

34e00b9f6e Add Nostr-mediated overlay discovery and UDP NAT traversal (#53)
Optional peer discovery and NAT hole-punching path gated behind a new
`nostr-discovery` cargo feature. Nodes publish signed overlay endpoint
adverts to public Nostr relays, consume peer adverts to populate
fallback dial addresses, and use STUN-assisted UDP hole punching with
NIP-59 gift-wrap offer/answer signaling to establish direct UDP paths
between NATed peers. Once a punched socket is up, it is handed into
the existing FIPS UDP transport and the standard Noise/FMP session
stack takes over unchanged.

The cargo feature is in the default feature set
(`default = ["nostr-discovery"]`) so stock builds include it; a
build that explicitly disables default features (or selects a
feature set without `nostr-discovery`) does not link the nostr /
nostr-sdk crates and does not emit a no-op poll in the tick loop.
Runtime behavior is independently gated by
`node.discovery.nostr.enabled`, which defaults to false; if the
config enables Nostr on a non-feature build, startup logs a
warning and continues without it.

== Cargo feature and dependencies

- New cargo feature `nostr-discovery = ["dep:nostr", "dep:nostr-sdk"]`.
  Not in the default feature set.
- New optional Linux-only dependencies: `nostr 0.44` (features: std,
  nip59) and `nostr-sdk 0.44`. Gift-wrap unwrap is hand-rolled in
  `src/discovery/nostr/signal.rs` rather than relying on the SDK's
  rumor-author check, which FIPS sidesteps by trusting `seal.pubkey`
  exclusively.

== Wire format

Overlay advert event: `kind 37195`, parameterized replaceable
(NIP-01 application-defined replaceable range 30000-39999), with
`d = "fips-overlay-v1"`. The digits visually spell FIPS (7=F, 1=I,
9=P, 5=S); a relay survey confirmed the kind is unused.

Advert content carries the version tag, endpoint list
(`udp|tcp|tor` + addr), optional signal-relay and stun-server
metadata, and `issuedAt` / `expiresAt` timestamps. Endpoint
`addr: "nat"` is the sentinel that triggers traversal on the peer
side. NIP-40 `expiration` tag bounds staleness on permanent
shutdown. Lifecycle relies on parameterized-replaceable
supersession; the daemon does not emit NIP-09 kind-5 deletes —
strict relays (Damus, Primal) race delete-against-replace and can
silently drop the replacement.

Gift-wrapped signal event: `kind 21059`. Punch packets carry magic
values `PUNCH_MAGIC` / `PUNCH_ACK_MAGIC`, a sequence number, and a
16-byte session hash.

== Discovery surface

- `src/discovery.rs` (always compiled)
  - `EstablishedTraversal`: bound UDP socket + selected remote +
    peer npub + optional transport name/config tuning overrides.
  - `BootstrapHandoffResult`: returned on successful handoff —
    allocated transport id, local/remote addrs, peer NodeAddr,
    session id.
- `src/discovery/nostr/` (`#![cfg(feature = "nostr-discovery")]`)
  - `types.rs`: wire and control types described above. `ADVERT_KIND`
    constant. `BootstrapError` enumerates failure modes (disabled,
    missing advert, missing NAT endpoint, no usable relays, invalid
    advert, invalid npub, signal timeout, punch timeout, replay,
    STUN failure, protocol, nostr, io, serde, event-parse).
  - `runtime.rs`: `NostrDiscovery` coordinator. Owns the shared
    nostr-sdk `Client`, subscribes to advert + signal event kinds,
    maintains a bounded advert cache and a bounded seen-sessions
    replay set, drains `BootstrapEvent::{Established, Failed}` for
    the node to consume, exposes `update_local_advert`,
    `request_connect`, `advert_endpoints_for_peer`,
    `cached_open_discovery_candidates`, and `shutdown`.
  - `signal.rs`: NIP-59 gift-wrap encode/decode. Outbound wraps are
    built against per-attempt ephemeral keys; inbound events are
    unwrapped against the node identity.
  - `stun.rs`: RFC 5389/8489 Binding Request client with
    XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS parsing for both IPv4 and IPv6; used only to
    observe the initiator's own reflexive address against its
    locally configured STUN list (peer-advertised STUN is
    informational, never an egress target).
  - `traversal.rs`: per-attempt candidate-pair punch planner.
    Allocates a fresh `0.0.0.0:0` UDP socket per attempt, enumerates
    LAN-private and ULA interface addresses alongside the STUN
    reflexive address, schedules probe/ack exchanges at the
    configured interval for the configured duration, and picks the
    first candidate pair that authenticates end-to-end.

Strategy ordering is Reflexive↔Reflexive first, then LAN, then
Mixed. The STUN-observed pair is the only candidate that's reliable
across arbitrary network topologies; trying it first prevents the
planner from latching onto a misleading host-candidate path before
the reflexive path gets a chance. There is no catch-all
Local↔Local strategy: a previous design that paired every local
host candidate from one side with every local host candidate from
the other could declare success on a one-way reachable asymmetric
L3 path (corporate VPN, Tailscale subnet route, overlapping private
address space), only for the FMP handshake to stall because the
return path didn't match. The legitimate `Lan` strategy still pairs
candidates that share a subnet.

== Configuration surface

`node.discovery.nostr.*` (`NostrDiscoveryConfig`), all `serde(default)`
with `deny_unknown_fields`:

- `enabled` (default false), `advertise` (default true)
- `advert_relays`, `dm_relays`, `stun_servers`: defaults are
  `wss://relay.damus.io`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://offchain.pub`
  for both relay lists, and Google / Cloudflare / Twilio for STUN.
  Operators are expected to override for production. Other
  verified-working public relays for reference:
  `nostr.bitcoiner.social`, `nostr-pub.wellorder.net`,
  `nostr.oxtr.dev`, `nostr.mom`.
- `app` (default `"fips-overlay-v1"`), `signal_ttl_secs` (120)
- `policy`: `NostrDiscoveryPolicy::{Disabled, ConfiguredOnly (default),
  Open}` — controls whether advert-derived endpoints are consumed
  only for peers carrying `via_nostr = true`, or also for
  non-configured peers within a budget cap.
- `share_local_candidates` (default false) — when false, the offer's
  `local_addresses` list is empty and peers see only the reflexive
  address. Enable per-node only for genuinely same-LAN deployments;
  off-by-default eliminates the misleading-path failure mode for
  the common case where peers are not on the same broadcast domain.
- `open_discovery_max_pending` (64) — caps queued open-discovery
  retries; bounded by available outbound slots.
- `max_concurrent_incoming_offers` (16) — semaphore against offer
  spam; excess offers are debug-logged and dropped.
- `advert_cache_max_entries` (2048) and `seen_sessions_max_entries`
  (2048) — bound memory under ambient relay volume; overflow
  evictions are debug-logged.
- `attempt_timeout_secs` (10), `replay_window_secs` (300)
- `punch_start_delay_ms` (2000), `punch_interval_ms` (200),
  `punch_duration_ms` (10000)
- `advert_ttl_secs` (3600), `advert_refresh_secs` (1800)

Per-peer and per-transport flags:

- `PeerConfig.via_nostr: bool` — when true (and Nostr is enabled),
  advert-derived addresses are appended as fallback dial candidates
  after static addresses for that peer.
- `PeerConfig.addresses` is now `serde(default)` and may be empty
  when `via_nostr: true`; validation requires at least one of the
  two to be present per peer, and the error message names the
  peer's npub.
- `UdpConfig.advertise_on_nostr: Option<bool>` and
  `UdpConfig.public: Option<bool>` — UDP transports can be
  advertised either as direct `host:port` (public = true) or as the
  `addr: "nat"` sentinel that triggers rendezvous on the peer side.
- `TcpConfig.advertise_on_nostr` and `TorConfig.advertise_on_nostr`
  — TCP and Tor onion endpoints can be advertised as directly
  reachable.
- A reserved peer address `transport: udp, addr: "nat"` parses without
  special-casing in YAML and routes through the bootstrap runtime.

Cross-field validation (`Config::validate`, called from `Node::new`
and `Node::with_identity`):

- Any transport with `advertise_on_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- Any peer with `via_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- A non-public UDP advert (`advertise_on_nostr = true`,
  `public = false` — i.e. `udp:nat`) additionally requires at least
  one `dm_relay` and at least one `stun_server`.
  Surfaced as `ConfigError::Validation`.

== Node integration

`src/node/lifecycle.rs` is the main integration point.

- At node start (after transports are up, before TUN), if Nostr is
  enabled and the feature is compiled in, `NostrDiscovery::start` is
  invoked, the initial local overlay advert is built from the live
  transport set and published, and the runtime handle is stored.
- The rx tick loop calls `poll_nostr_discovery` (feature-gated both
  at method definition and call site), which refreshes the local
  advert, drains bootstrap events, adopts established traversals,
  schedules retries for failed traversals, and — under `policy:
  open` — enqueues outbound retries for non-configured peers
  visible in the advert cache, bounded by
  `open_discovery_max_pending` and the remaining outbound slots.
- Outbound peer dialing is refactored to `try_peer_addresses`, which
  first exhausts the static address list in priority order and only
  then appends advert-derived fallback addresses; both lists run
  through the same `attempt_peer_address_list` code path. The
  `udp:nat` sentinel address triggers `NostrDiscovery::request_connect`
  for the peer instead of a direct dial and returns `Ok(())`.
- `build_overlay_advert` walks operational transports, consults
  per-instance `UdpConfig` / `TcpConfig` / `TorConfig` (matching by
  optional transport instance name), and emits an `OverlayAdvert`
  including `signalRelays` and `stunServers` when any UDP endpoint
  is advertised as NAT.
- `adopt_established_traversal` is the bootstrap handoff API:
  allocates a new `TransportId`, constructs a `UdpTransport` with
  the user-supplied (or default) `UdpConfig`, calls the new
  `adopt_socket_async` to reuse the punched socket verbatim,
  registers the transport in the normal transport map, records it
  in `bootstrap_transports`, and calls `initiate_connection` so the
  normal handshake path runs. On failure, the transport is stopped
  and removed cleanly and the set membership is rolled back.
- On clean shutdown, `NostrDiscovery::shutdown` is awaited so
  background tasks stop before transports are torn down. (The
  advert is not explicitly retracted; NIP-40 expiration plus the
  next refresh from any live publisher supersedes it.)

New `Node` fields:

- `nostr_discovery: Option<Arc<NostrDiscovery>>` (feature-gated).
- `bootstrap_transports: HashSet<TransportId>` — per-peer UDP
  transports adopted from NAT traversal, cleaned up via
  `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` whenever the link,
  connection, peer, or pending-connect referencing them is removed.

Retry and error surface:

- `RetryState.expires_at_ms: Option<u64>` — optional absolute expiry
  for a retry entry. `pump_retries` drops expired entries with an
  info log. Used for open-discovery retries, which expire at two
  times the advert TTL.
- New `NodeError::BootstrapHandoff(String)` returned from
  `adopt_established_traversal` when the underlying transport
  adoption fails or local address discovery fails.
- New `ConfigError::Validation(String)`.
- A small refactor extracts `Node::now_ms()` and reuses it across
  lifecycle, rx-loop tick, and timeout bookkeeping.

== UDP transport

`src/transport/udp/`:

- `UdpRawSocket::adopt(std::net::UdpSocket, recv_buf, send_buf)`:
  adopts an externally bound socket, makes it non-blocking, applies
  the configured buffer sizes (warning if the kernel clamps), and
  reports the resulting local address. Preserves the NAT mapping —
  no rebind.
- `UdpTransport::adopt_socket_async(std::net::UdpSocket)`: the
  `start_async` analogue for an already-bound socket, wiring the
  async socket and recv task exactly as the fresh-bind path would.
- `Drop` impl for `UdpTransport`: if a transport is dropped while
  still holding a recv task or socket (for example on error
  teardown), aborts the task, clears the socket, and emits a debug
  log so the cleanup is visible in tracing rather than silent.

== Logging and observability

Default `EnvFilter` demotes third-party relay-pool DEBUG output to
TRACE-only: `nostr_relay_pool`, `nostr_sdk`, and `nostr` are pinned
at INFO when our level is anything below TRACE, and at TRACE when
our level is TRACE — so the raw frames are still reachable when
explicitly asked for. RUST_LOG continues to override completely.

Concise one-line DEBUG events are emitted at the meaningful points
in the discovery / hole-punch sequence:

- `advert: published` (event id, relay count, endpoints, ttl)
- `advert: peer cached` (notify-loop ingress for non-self)
- `advert: resolved` (cache hit / relay fetch outcome)
- `traversal: initiator starting`
- `traversal: initiator STUN observed` (reflexive, local count)
- `traversal: offer sent` (session id, relay count, event id)
- `traversal: answer received` (accepted, reflexive, local)
- `traversal: initiator punch succeeded` (remote addr)
- `traversal: offer received` (responder side)
- `traversal: responder STUN observed`
- `traversal: answer sent`
- `traversal: responder punch succeeded`

Npubs are shortened to `npub1<4>..<4>` and event/session ids to
their first 8 hex characters.

Other operator-facing logs:

- `UdpTransport` adoption and drop paths log at info / debug.
- `adopt_established_traversal` logs at debug on entry and info on
  successful return, tagged with peer npub, session id, transport
  id, and both socket endpoints, so the bootstrap handoff is
  traceable end-to-end alongside the `UdpTransport::drop` log.
- `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` logs at debug when the
  reference-count check drops an adopted transport.
- `connect_peer` tags its entry `debug!` with `peer_npub` so
  downstream STUN, punch, and handshake logs for the same peer
  correlate for operators.
- Advert-cache and seen-sessions overflow evictions log at debug so
  mis-sized caps are visible under ambient relay volume.
- Gift-wrap unwrap failures on `SIGNAL_KIND` events log at trace
  (hot path: fires for every unrelated signal event on the same
  relay).
- Traversal-offer handler failures log at debug. Expected conditions
  such as punch timeout on symmetric NAT are covered there; real
  problems are reported upstream via `BootstrapEvent::Failed`.
- Inbound-offer rate-limit messages name the governing config field
  (`max_concurrent_incoming_offers`) and state that the offer was
  rate-limited rather than failing.

== Tests

- 18 new unit tests in `src/discovery/nostr/tests.rs` covering advert
  encoding, signal envelope round-trip, STUN parsing, punch-packet
  codec, and replay-window enforcement. Run under the
  `nostr-discovery` feature.
- Config-validation tests in `src/config/mod.rs` covering the three
  cross-field invariants and YAML parsing of the full
  `node.discovery.nostr` block plus `peers[].via_nostr`, empty
  `addresses` with `via_nostr: true`, and a `udp: nat` address.
- `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` integration tests that drive a
  synthetic traversal (bound UDP socket pair + synthetic peer
  identity) through `adopt_established_traversal` and assert the
  Noise handshake completes over the adopted socket.
- Punch-planner tests assert reflexive-before-LAN ordering and that
  same-LAN scenarios still include the LAN target in the plan.
- `testing/nat/` Docker NAT lab harness:
  - Local `strfry` relay, local STUN responder, and one or two
    router containers performing `iptables` NAT.
  - Node LAN interfaces are provisioned with explicit `veth` pairs
    injected into the node and router namespaces so every packet
    traverses the router namespace (plain Docker bridges are not
    used for the LAN).
  - `cone` scenario: both peers behind full-cone-emulation NAT
    (SNAT with source-port preservation, inbound DNAT back to the
    single LAN host regardless of remote source); asserts UDP
    traversal succeeds and link remote addresses are on the router
    WAN subnet.
  - `symmetric` scenario: `MASQUERADE --random-fully`; asserts UDP
    traversal fails and TCP fallback converges over router-
    published WAN addresses.
  - `lan` scenario: both peers share a LAN subnet; asserts LAN
    addresses are preferred over reflexive ones.
  - Cleanup tears down all profile-gated services
    (`--profile cone --profile symmetric --profile lan`) so no
    orphan containers survive a run.
- `testing/scripts/build.sh` builds the Docker test image with
  `--features "tui nostr-discovery"` by default so NAT-harness
  binaries include bootstrap support.

== CI

- Linux release build and nextest unit-test job both use
  `--features "gateway nostr-discovery"` so the feature-gated code
  and its unit tests compile and run in CI.
- Three new integration matrix entries (`nat-cone`, `nat-symmetric`,
  `nat-lan`) invoke `testing/nat/scripts/nat-test.sh`, collect
  `docker compose logs` on failure, and always stop containers.

== Packaging and operations

- `packaging/common/fips.yaml` ships a fully commented
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` block, plus documented
  `advertise_on_nostr` / `public` examples under the UDP transport,
  an `advertise_on_nostr` example under TCP, and a `via_nostr: true`
  example under the static peer section with both a direct
  `host:port` UDP address and a `udp: nat` fallback.
- `.github/workflows/package-openwrt.yml`: NIP-94 release event
  publishes target the new default relay set.

== Documentation

- `README.md`: overlay discovery + NAT traversal moved from
  "Near-term priorities" into "What works today".
- `docs/design/fips-intro.md`: rewrites the paragraphs that
  previously described Nostr discovery and NAT traversal as future
  work; describes the shipped mechanism and the feature gate.
- `docs/design/fips-transport-layer.md`: drops the "(future
  direction)" qualifier from the Nostr Relay Discovery section,
  expands with the `udp:nat` advertisement and bootstrap handoff
  description, and updates the Current State callout.
- `docs/design/fips-mesh-layer.md`: notes that mid-session NAT
  rebinding (roaming) and initial NAT traversal (Nostr path) are
  distinct mechanisms.
- `docs/design/fips-configuration.md`: documents the full
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` surface, including the three resource
  caps and `share_local_candidates`.
- `docs/design/fips-nostr-discovery.md`: design and configuration
  reference for the shipped mechanism, including the empty-
  `addresses`-with-`via_nostr` shorthand.
- `docs/proposals/nostr-udp-hole-punch-protocol.md`: adds an
  Implemented status callout, clarifies that the punch socket is
  per-peer and per-attempt rather than shared with the application
  listener, aligns field names with the shipped JSON
  (`sessionId`, `issuedAt` / `expiresAt`, `reflexiveAddress`,
  `localAddresses`, `stunServer`), sets the `d`-tag to
  `fips-overlay-v1`, names the kind as 37195, and notes that
  advertised STUN entries are informational.
- `docs/proposals/README.md`: adds a Status column and marks the
  hole-punching proposal Implemented.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Unreleased > Added entry covering the discovery
  path, STUN/punch path, configuration surface, and Docker NAT lab.

Johnathan Corgan f16b837a12 Tune overly aggressive discovery rate limiting
The default 30s post-failure backoff (300s cap, doubling per
consecutive failure) was set to bound traffic from chatty apps
looking up unreachable targets, but in practice it dominates
cold-start mesh convergence: a single timed-out lookup during
initial bloom-filter propagation suppresses any retry for 30s, and
the existing reset triggers (parent change, new peer, first RTT,
reconnection) don't fire on a stable post-handshake topology. The
suppression window winds up dictating the protocol's effective
time-to-converge instead of bounding repeat traffic.

Replaces the single-lookup-with-internal-retry model
(`timeout_secs`/`retry_interval_secs`/`max_attempts`) with a
per-attempt timeout sequence in `node.discovery.attempt_timeouts_secs`,
defaulting to `[1, 2, 4, 8]`. Each attempt sends a fresh LookupRequest
with a new random request_id so successive attempts can take different
forwarding paths as the bloom and tree state evolve. The destination
is declared unreachable only after the sequence is exhausted (15s
total at the default).

Disables post-failure suppression by default (`backoff_base_secs`/
`backoff_max_secs` now `0`/`0`). The `DiscoveryBackoff` machinery
stays in tree (inert at zero base/cap); operators with chatty apps
generating repeat lookups against unreachable destinations can opt
back in.

`PendingLookup` field shape unchanged so the control-socket
`show_routing` JSON (`pending_lookups[].attempt`/`initiated_ms`/
`last_sent_ms`) keeps the same schema for fipstop and external
consumers; `last_sent_ms` now means "current-attempt start" under
the new state machine.

Johnathan CorganandGitHub cbc78091ab Rationalize cargo feature and platform-gate surface (#79)
Drop the `tui`, `ble`, and `gateway` cargo features and replace
them with platform cfg gates. Plain `cargo build` now produces
every subsystem appropriate for the target platform with no
feature flags required.

Motivation:
- `default = ["tui", "ble"]` broke `cargo build` on macOS and
  Windows because `ble` pulled in `bluer` (BlueZ, Linux-only).
  Every non-Linux packager needed `--no-default-features`.
- The feature flags on `ble` and `gateway` were redundant with
  their platform-gated deps (`bluer`, `rustables`). The parallel
  gating was inconsistent and error-prone.
- `tui` feature protected against a ratatui binary-size concern
  that no longer applies in 2026.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove `tui`, `ble`, `gateway` features; `default = []`.
- Promote `ratatui` to a non-optional top-level dependency.
- Move `rustables` from top-level optional into the Linux
  target block, non-optional.
- Split `bluer` into its own target block with
  `cfg(all(target_os = "linux", not(target_env = "musl")))`
  — BlueZ isn't available on musl router targets and
  `libdbus-sys` doesn't cross-compile to musl without pkg-config
  sysroot setup.
- Drop `required-features` from the `fipstop` and `fips-gateway`
  `[[bin]]` entries.

build.rs:
- Emit a `bluer_available` custom cfg when `target_os == "linux"`
  and `target_env != "musl"`, for use in place of the verbose
  full predicate in source cfg gates.

Source:
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "gateway")]` with
  `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`. Gateway code works on both
  glibc and musl Linux (rustables is fine on musl).
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "ble")]` with
  `#[cfg(bluer_available)]`. BLE-specific code (BluerIo module,
  bluer type conversions, BLE transport instance creation,
  resolve_ble_addr) is excluded on musl and non-Linux. Generic
  `BleAddr`, `BleIo` trait, `MockBleIo`, and `BleTransport<I>`
  still compile on all targets.
- `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs`: always compiled, but `main()` is
  gated to Linux. Non-Linux stub exits 1 with a diagnostic.
  Existing non-Linux packaging scripts don't ship it, so the
  stub binary sits unused.

Packaging and CI:
- Drop `--features` and `--no-default-features` flags from every
  packaging script and workflow. Defaults now match each
  platform's capabilities.
- AUR `fips-git` automatically aligns with stable `PKGBUILD`
  (both build with defaults).

Verified: `cargo build --release` with no flags produces all
four binaries on glibc Linux; all unit and integration tests
pass across Linux/macOS/Windows/OpenWrt (musl) in CI.

Johnathan Corgan be0708ac9b Bring acl test module into the test tree
src/node/tests/acl.rs was added by PR #50 but never declared in
src/node/tests/mod.rs, so none of its 4 unit tests ran. The tests
themselves still compile and pass against current master code —
the fix is a one-line mod declaration. Test count goes from 1031
to 1035.

No code under test changes. This only adds previously-dormant
coverage of the ACL enforcement call sites (outbound connect,
inbound msg1, outbound msg2).
2026-04-22 03:41:12 +00:00
Johnathan Corgan 3edca4a84f Notify initiator when inbound ACL rejects a Noise XX handshake
Under Noise XX the responder only sees the initiator's static key
in msg3, so the inbound-handshake ACL check cannot fire until msg3
has already been processed. By then the initiator has received
msg2, passed its own outbound ACL check, and promoted its side of
the peering. Silently tearing down the responder's state left the
initiator as a "connected" peer with no traffic until the
link-dead timeout fired tens of seconds later; the acl-allowlist
integration test on the next branch timed out at the 5s
convergence check on blocked nodes.

The responder now sends an encrypted Disconnect on the
freshly-completed Noise session before tearing down. The initiator
decodes it via the existing handle_disconnect path and cleans up
the zombie peer within one RTT. DisconnectReason::Other is used
instead of SecurityViolation so the wire payload does not name the
ACL mechanism; the behavioural signature (explicit reject right
after handshake) is the only observable leak.

Supporting changes:

- Add send_encrypted_link_message_raw in node/mod.rs that operates
  on a raw NoiseSession + indices without going through self.peers,
  since the peer has not yet been promoted at the reject site.
- Declare the acl test module in node/tests/mod.rs. It had been
  orphaned since PR #50 so none of its tests ran; two of them no
  longer compiled against the current next branch. Fixed the two
  and replaced test_inbound_msg1_denied_by_acl (asserts IK-era
  behaviour that cannot happen under XX) with
  test_inbound_msg3_denied_triggers_disconnect, a full end-to-end
  UDP test covering both the responder cleanup and the initiator's
  Disconnect-driven cleanup.

Johnathan CorganandGitHub ed312ac6f2 Fix DNS resolution on Ubuntu 22 with systemd-resolved (#77)
On Ubuntu 22 (systemd 249), systemd-resolved applies interface-scoped
routing to per-link DNS servers. Configuring `resolvectl dns fips0
127.0.0.1:5354` caused resolved to attempt reaching 127.0.0.1 through
fips0 (a TUN with only fd00::/8 routes), silently failing. The DNS
responder never received queries. Newer systemd versions (250+) have
explicit handling for loopback servers on non-loopback interfaces.

Changes:

- DNS responder default bind_addr changed from "127.0.0.1" to "::"
  so it listens on all interfaces, including fips0. Bind logic in
  lifecycle.rs now parses bind_addr as IpAddr and constructs a
  SocketAddr, handling IPv6 literal formatting. Factored into
  Node::bind_dns_socket with explicit IPV6_V6ONLY=0 via socket2, so
  IPv4 clients on 127.0.0.1:5354 still reach the responder
  regardless of the kernel's net.ipv6.bindv6only sysctl.

- fips-dns-setup resolvectl backend now waits for fips0 to have a
  global IPv6 address, then configures resolved with
  [<fips0-addr>]:5354. That address is locally delivered by the
  kernel regardless of which interface resolved tries to route
  through. The dnsmasq and NetworkManager backends still use
  127.0.0.1 (they don't have the interface-scoping issue).

- Dropped hardcoded `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` from the packaged
  fips.yaml (Debian + OpenWrt). The shipped config was overriding
  the new default.

- DNS queries are only accepted from the localhost.

Verified end-to-end in a privileged Ubuntu 22.04 systemd container:
dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips resolves cleanly through
systemd-resolved.

The dns-delegate backend (systemd 258+) still uses 127.0.0.1; it
has not been verified whether that backend has the same routing
issue.

Johnathan Corgan db4b32110c Validate bloom filter fill ratio on FilterAnnounce ingress
A malformed FilterAnnounce whose fill ratio produces an implausibly
high false-positive rate is mostly useless for routing and, once
merged into our outgoing filter via bitwise OR, propagates the
saturated state to tree peers one hop per announce tick. A saturated
filter also made estimated_count() return f64::INFINITY, which
compute_mesh_size summed into its cached estimate.

handle_filter_announce now rejects inbound FilterAnnounce whose
derived FPR exceeds `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` (new config field,
default 0.05 ≈ fill 0.549 at k=5). Rejection is silent on the wire,
logs at WARN, and increments a new `bloom.fill_exceeded` counter. The
peer's prior stored filter and filter_sequence are left unchanged so
a single rejected announce does not wipe the peer's existing
contribution to aggregation.

After a successful outgoing FilterAnnounce send, a rate-limited WARN
fires if our own filter's FPR exceeds the same cap, surfacing
aggregation drift. Limited to once per 60 seconds via a new
Node.last_self_warn field.

BloomFilter::estimated_count() now takes max_fpr and returns
Option<f64>. Returns None for saturated filters (regardless of cap)
or when the filter's FPR exceeds max_fpr. Callers updated: debug
logs render None as "—", the Debug impl uses f64::INFINITY as "no
cap" and prints "saturated" instead of inf, control-socket JSON
emits null, and compute_mesh_size propagates None into the already-
Option<u64> estimated_mesh_size field.
