Forward-merge the mesh discovery module rename (directory, exported types, and
internal lookup-stem terminology) onto the next wire-format line. next's
divergent lookup wire and core content is preserved under the new proto/lookup
path, with the same terminology sweep applied to its next-only lines.
Rename src/proto/discovery to src/proto/lookup and bring the module's naming
onto the lookup stem, matching its concept: a mesh lookup of a node's
coordinates from its pubkey, sent into the mesh as a bloom-filter-guided
multicast request that returns a unicast response with the coordinates.
- the module directory and its declaration (proto::discovery -> proto::lookup)
- exported types: DiscoveryAction -> LookupAction, DiscoveryBackoff ->
LookupBackoff, DiscoveryForwardRateLimiter -> LookupForwardRateLimiter,
MAX_RECENT_DISCOVERY_REQUESTS -> MAX_RECENT_LOOKUP_REQUESTS, and the Discovery
state struct -> Lookup
- internal terminology: doc comments, the "overlay-lookup" phrasing, the
empty_discovery/suppressing_discovery test helpers, and the disc
parameter/variable all take the lookup names
- the already-lookup-named wire types (LookupRequest/LookupResponse) are unchanged
Behavior-neutral: no wire bytes or decision logic change. Two references are
intentionally kept as "discovery": the still-named node::handlers::discovery
shell module and the node.discovery.* config keys, which belong to the broader
disambiguation of the shell, config, and metric surfaces still to come.
Bring the proto tree closer to a std+alloc-only posture, behavior unchanged on
every decision path:
- Sweep the remaining std::fmt and std::collections imports over to core::fmt
and alloc::collections across the wire codecs and their tests. Subsystem files
that shadow the core name with a child core module use the leading-colon
::core::fmt form. Imports only.
- Replace the two f64::powi calls (bloom false-positive-rate, FMP backoff timer)
with a shared core-only square-and-multiply helper in proto/math, bit-identical
to std::powi (a guard test pins this against every exponent the codecs reach),
and route the diagnostic estimated-count natural log through libm::log. The FPR
reject decision and the backoff timer are bit-for-bit unchanged; only the
debug-only count estimate may differ by at most one ULP.
Introduce a shared proto/codec module with a cursor Reader (short reads fail with
MessageTooShort { expected: position + needed, got: total }) and an append Writer,
and adopt them across the seven subsystem wire codecs, replacing the repetitive
manual slicing, try_into, and from_le_bytes extraction. Each existing length check
maps to the reader (an up-front minimum becomes require at position zero, so the
per-field expected values, including the tree-announce expected 99, are reproduced
exactly); the bloom exact-length check stays explicit since it also rejects
over-long payloads. Encoded bytes and decode decisions are unchanged.
Replace Malformed(String) with a no_std-clean set: Malformed(&static str)
for the static decode diagnostics, BadSizeClass { got, max } for the two
bloom size-class checks, and typed sources BadCoord(CoordError) /
BadBloom(BloomError) for the coordinate and bloom construction failures. Add a
dedicated CoordError so proto/coord no longer depends upward on stp TreeError,
resolving the temporary inversion from the coordinate relocation. Drop the
thiserror derive from the four proto error types (Error, TreeError, BloomError,
CoordError) in favor of hand-rolled core::fmt::Display and core::error::Error
impls. thiserror remains in use elsewhere in the crate. Wire decode decisions
are unchanged; only the error type and its diagnostic text change.
Hoist the two line-for-line-identical per-destination minimum-interval limiters
(discovery forward, routing error) into a shared PerAddrRateLimiter, and fold
the duplicated exponential-backoff math (discovery originator, FMP retry) into a
shared backoff_ms helper, both in a new proto/rate_limit module. The subsystem
limiters become thin delegating newtypes so should_forward/should_send and the
backoff call conventions are preserved. Behavior is byte-identical.
Two behavior-neutral relocations, wire bytes unchanged:
- Move the ParentDeclaration type and its impls out of state.rs into a dedicated
declaration.rs, re-exported at the same path, and relocate the inline wire.rs
test module into tests/wire.rs alongside the other stp unit tests (reusing the
shared test helpers). wire.rs drops to non-test code only.
- Move TreeCoordinate, CoordEntry, and the coordinate wire codec out of
proto/stp into a shared proto/coord module (a peer of proto/link), re-exported
from proto::stp so every existing import path keeps resolving unchanged.
Coordinate is a shared addressing primitive with many non-stp consumers, so it
no longer belongs under the spanning-tree subsystem. The codec carries a
documented temporary dependency on stp::TreeError until a dedicated CoordError
is introduced.
evaluate_parent no longer reads the injected clock: it returns a ParentEval of
Mandatory, Discretionary, or None, and the flap/hold-down veto is applied at the
edge via a new TreeState::is_switch_suppressed(now_ms), gating only the
discretionary arm. classify_announce/classify_periodic take the pre-computed
switch_suppressed bool instead of now_ms, so the whole classify ladder is
clock-free; the shell callers (tree announce/periodic re-eval, MMP first-RTT
re-eval, handle_parent_lost) compute the veto verdict. The no-coords parent
case stays discretionary (veto-gated) exactly as before. Behavior unchanged;
the veto tests now assert the moved responsibility.
Reorganize the MMP subsystem, behavior unchanged throughout:
- Restore the pre-migration role split: move SenderState into sender.rs,
ReceiverState (with its GapTracker helper) into receiver.rs, MmpMetrics and
RrLog into metrics.rs, and PathMtuState into path_mtu.rs, leaving the Mmp
aggregate plus the peer/session state in state.rs (1339 to 196 lines). Home
the module constants in a new limits.rs and re-export them at the same paths.
Pure code-motion with module rewiring; visibility unchanged.
- Dissolve the 97-line src/mmp shell, which held only MmpConfig and the
monotonic mono_ms() clock: move MmpConfig into config/node.rs (re-exported as
crate::config::MmpConfig), move mono_ms() into a new top-level src/time.rs
shell time seam, repoint all callers, and delete src/mmp/. Also correct stale
src/mmp/ doc-comment path labels to proto/mmp/ where they name the protocol
primitives.
Two behavior-neutral discovery cleanups:
- Move MAX_RECENT_DISCOVERY_REQUESTS out of the node discovery handler into the
discovery subsystem limits module and re-export it, keeping the two use sites
unchanged. Same value and semantics; only its home moves.
- Remove the ambient rand draw from LookupRequest by deleting generate() and
having the shell draw the random request_id and pass it into the existing
new() constructor. Same per-request u64 draw, now at the shell, leaving the
discovery codec free of ambient RNG reads.
The false-positive-rate primitive (fill ratio raised to the hash count) was
inlined at three sites. Hoist it into a BloomFilter::fpr() method and call it
from all three; the threshold/policy logic stays at the call sites. Behavior
and result bytes are unchanged.
Forward-merge the sans-IO cleanup series (bloom fpr, discovery const/RNG-injection,
mmp state decomposition, mmp shell dissolution, STP clock-free classify core, STP
declaration split, shared proto/coord relocation, shared rate limiter/backoff,
typed proto errors dropping thiserror, shared bounds-checked codec reader/writer,
core/alloc import sweep, no_std-shaped filter math) onto the next wire-format line.
Reconciled master structure against the next wire semantics: the mmp role-module
split adopts next slim report format (spin-bit stays dropped, sender/receiver
build next reports), the discovery and fmp codecs keep next TLV and profile
negotiation while moving to the typed error, and the parent-eval handler keeps the
Full/Leaf profile filter under the new ParentEval/is_switch_suppressed seam.
Forward-merge the FSP session-protocol sans-IO migration and the src/protocol
teardown from the master-refactor line onto next. Converge proto/fsp across
both lines (core.rs byte-identical), keeping next's born-on-next residue: the
additive SessionSetup/SessionAck wire variants, the spin-bit-less unit
FspInnerFlags, and the XX handshake shell residue (negotiation-payload
piggyback, initiator identity check, min-size length checks) in
handlers/session.rs. src/protocol is removed on next as well; ProtocolError,
LinkMessageType, and SessionDatagram reach their proto/ homes.
Migrate the FSP end-to-end session subsystem into src/proto/fsp/ following the
established sans-IO shape, and retire the src/protocol grab-bag now that FSP was
its last occupant.
Relocate the FSP session wire (node/session_wire.rs plus the FSP message types
from protocol/session.rs) into proto/fsp/wire.rs. Hoist the pure decision logic
into proto/fsp/core.rs over plain-data SessionSnapshots returning an ordered
FspAction list the shell drives: session-rekey policy, msg3-resend
classification, post-decrypt epoch reaction, setup/dual-init tie-break,
coords/path-MTU emit-policy, bounded pending-queue, and IPv6 ECN. The
crypto-owning SessionEntry stays shell-side in node/session.rs (matching the FMP
ActivePeer pattern); proto/fsp is wire + core + limits only, with no proto->noise
dependency and no crypto.
Move the coords helpers to proto/stp/ (they serialize TreeCoordinate), and split
SessionMessageType: the encrypted-inner 0x10-0x1F variants stay in proto/fsp/wire.rs
while the 0x20-0x2F routing signals become a new RoutingSignalType in
proto/routing/wire.rs. Migrate the session-MMP shell adapter, which continues to
drive proto/mmp/.
Retire src/protocol: LinkMessageType and SessionDatagram move to a new shared
proto/link.rs, ProtocolError becomes proto::Error (relocated verbatim), the
deprecated MessageType alias and the unimported PROTOCOL_VERSION are dropped, and
src/protocol/ is deleted along with its lib.rs module declaration.
Behavior-neutral: wire bytes unchanged, oracle tests pass unedited except
mod-path relocation; adds rekey/epoch characterization tests and pure
poll/emit-policy core tests.
Forward-merge the master-line bloom relocation into the next line,
discarding next's v1.5 bloom draft (RLE codec, XOR-diff delta,
FilterNack/0x21, adaptive sizing) and converging both lines onto the
identical proto/bloom v1-sans-IO module. This is a deliberate,
temporary wire regression on the next line: the v2 bloom is rebuilt
fresh, sans-IO from day one, on both lines later. Nothing outside the
bloom feature depended on the v1.5-specific surface. proto/bloom is now
byte-identical across both integration lines.
Migrate the v1 bloom filter subsystem into src/proto/bloom/, matching the
discovery/routing/fmp/mmp/stp reference layout and completing the proto/
relocation series for the data/wire subsystems.
- wire.rs: the FilterAnnounce (0x20) codec, moved from protocol/filter.rs
- core.rs: the pure BloomFilter algorithm (hash/insert/contains/merge/
as_bytes/from_bytes/estimated_count), moved from bloom/filter.rs
- state.rs: BloomState (per-peer inbound store, compute_outgoing_filter,
the injected-clock send debounce), moved from bloom/state.rs
- limits.rs: the v1 sizing constants
- mod.rs: module wiring + the BloomError enum
- tests/: the unit suite split by target (core/state/wire), no inline tests
no_std+alloc hygiene: core::fmt over std::fmt, the tracing dependency
dropped from the pure filter, and std collections replaced with
BTreeMap/BTreeSet (NodeAddr: Ord) for deterministic iteration. The pure
filter combination stays a BloomState method; the two irreducible shell
gathers (peer_inbound_filters, build_filter_announce) remain in the async
shell. Wire bytes and observable behavior are unchanged; full local CI
green (36/36) including the bloom-storm chaos gate.
Forward-merge the STP sans-IO migration. The classify / proto-stp structure,
clock injection, crypto field-partition, and BTree collections come from the
master line; next's non-full/leaf parent-candidacy skip is preserved by passing
self.non_full_peers() at the four shell call sites (handle_tree_announce,
check_periodic_parent_reeval, the MMP first-RTT re-eval, and the greedy-tree
find_next_hop fallback) instead of an empty set, with non_full_peers returning a
BTreeSet. next's four non_full_peers skip tests fold into proto/stp/tests.
Migrate the full non-async spanning-tree surface into proto/stp/, mirroring the
discovery/routing/fmp/mmp conversions. The classification ladder (parent-switch /
self-root / loop-drop / ancestry-update / periodic-rebroadcast / parent-lost) moves
out of the async node handlers into a pure Stp classify layer returning a
TreeDecision the shell drives, with effect ordering and per-arm invalidation
preserved verbatim. src/tree/ relocates wholesale: TreeState + ParentDeclaration data
+ coordinates into proto/stp/{state,coordinate}, the flap-dampening / hold-down
cluster into a FlapDampener in limits.rs, and the wire codec into wire.rs. The clock
is injected as u64 (wall-clock secs for the escaping declaration timestamp, monotonic
ms for the dampening timers via mmp::mono_ms); declaration crypto is field-partitioned
so sign/verify/hash run in the shell while the in-core modules carry data +
signing_bytes only. Peer maps/sets move to BTree; core/state/coordinate/limits are
core+alloc clean, with wire.rs the one std-tethered file. Behavior-neutral:
characterization tests added for the handler decision arms; convergence suite and
ci-local (36/36) green.
Forward-merge the master-side sans-IO refactor (discovery migration + no_std
reductions, collapsed to one commit) into the next-side branch. The discovery
decision core meets next's FMP profile/LookupRequest delta here: next's four
transit-forward predicates (Leaf no-forward, Full-profile, min_mtu, tree/fallback)
are folded into the pure core planners via an extended RoutingView seam
(node_is_leaf / peer_is_full / peer_meets_mtu, new ForwardOutcome::LeafNoForward),
and next's v2 LookupRequest API delta (origin_coords removed, tlv_entries added)
is reconciled across the discovery test tree, with next's four TLV wire tests
ported into the relocated wire test module.
The master-side branch now also carries the no_std+alloc reductions (BTreeMap,
alloc::sync::Arc, backoff-reset log moved to the shell, extern crate alloc),
which come through cleanly on the pilot-only core files.
Validated: cargo fmt / clippy (-D warnings) / test --lib all green, including
next's own transit MTU-pruning integration tests driving the refactored core
through the full shell path.
Migrate the FMP discovery decision logic out of the async handlers into
synchronous, runtime-agnostic sans-IO state machines owned by the protocol
structs, with I/O pushed to the edges. Pulls the full decision surface into a
pure core (backoff, rate-limit, planners, response routing), consolidates the
tests into a per-module tree with a shared crate testutil, and injects a u64
wall-clock so the core is free of Instant and std time.
Also brings the module toward no_std+alloc: the four discovery maps use
alloc::collections::BTreeMap (HashMap's RandomState is std-only), Arc is spelled
alloc::sync::Arc, the backoff-reset log lives in the shell (the core returns the
cleared count so observability stays out of the pure core), and the crate root
names alloc directly. The one remaining tether is ProtocolError's
std::error::Error coupling in the wire codec.
First subsystem of the broader sans-IO refactor; establishes the extraction
patterns and conventions carried forward to the remaining protocols.
handle_peer_removal_tree_cleanup reparents or self-roots the node when
its parent link drops, but omitted the coordinate-cache invalidation that
every other position-change path performs. Cached entries for downstream
destinations kept the node's now-stale coordinate prefix, and because
find_next_hop refreshes the TTL on every routing access, an actively
routed stale entry never self-expired — corrected only by a fresh insert.
Mirror the loop-detection branch: inside the parent-loss changed block,
invalidate both classes — invalidate_via_node (reparent) and
invalidate_other_roots (self-root). Add regression tests for a parent-link
removal that reparents (via-node entry dropped, same-root sibling
preserved) and one that self-roots (both via-node and stale old-root
entries dropped).
Add a "Running CI locally" section to testing/README.md covering the
ci-local.sh orchestrator: the per-run FIPS_CI_RUN_ID override and how it
scopes compose projects, image tags, and per-chaos-child subnets so
simultaneous runs on one host never collide; the cancellation exit codes
(130/143 vs 0/1) and how a preempting worker interprets them; and the
label-based cleanup via --reap / ci-cleanup.sh.
A CI worker may preempt an in-flight ci-local.sh run (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL
after a grace period) to restart on a newer commit. For that kill to be safe,
the script must clean up after itself and never let a dying run collide with
its restart. It previously had no signal handling, shared the default compose
project name across runs, and tore down each suite only at the suite end.
- Derive a per-run id (honoring FIPS_CI_RUN_ID, else short-sha+random) and
namespace every docker resource to it: a fipsci_<run>_<suite> compose project
per suite and per parallel chaos child, and per-run image tags
(fips-test:<run>, fips-test-app:<run>) retagged to :latest only after both
builds succeed so :latest never points at a half-built image.
- Install a bounded, idempotent teardown trap on SIGTERM/SIGINT (+ EXIT): reap
parallel chaos children, then force-remove this run's docker resources via
the new ci-cleanup.sh, wrapped in timeout so a stuck down cannot wedge it.
- Exit 143 (SIGTERM) / 130 (SIGINT), distinct from 0 (pass) / 1 (failed), so a
preempting worker tells a cancelled run from a real failure.
- Add ci-cleanup.sh (also ci-local.sh --reap): force-removes leftover CI
resources by the com.corganlabs.fips-ci=1 label and the fipsci_ project
prefix, robust to however a prior run died.
- Label every per-suite docker resource so the label sweep reaps it after a
SIGKILL regardless of network name: direct docker run/network resources, the
sidecar compose services, and every per-suite compose network (acl-allowlist,
boringtun, firewall, nat, static, both tor suites, and the chaos generator
template). Parametrize the static/sidecar compose image refs so the per-run
tags are honored.
- Give each parallel chaos child a unique /24 from 10.30.x (a new --subnet
override on the sim CLI, assigned per-child in ci-local.sh) so parallel
children never collide on a shared docker subnet, and a chaos net can never
span a fixed-subnet suite (sidecar/static in 172.20.x). 10.30.x sits outside
docker's default-address-pool range, so an auto-assigned net cannot land on
it either; node IPs derive from the subnet, so no scenario config changes.
Replace the fixed post-first-rekey and post-second-rekey settle sleeps in
the rekey integration test, and the fixed-deadline baseline wait in the
interop test, with the deterministic wait_until_connected progress-aware
polling helper already used for the initial baseline convergence.
Each converted site fails fast with structured diagnostics when the mesh
is stuck and extends its deadline only while pairwise reachability is
still climbing, removing the wall-clock settle windows that produced
intermittent connectivity failures after a rekey.
Brings the v0.4.0 release line up to date on next without disturbing
the in-flight wire-format work; next keeps its own 0.6.0-dev version.
Linkage merge so later forward-merges land cleanly.
maint carries only its 0.4.1-dev version bump; master keeps its own
0.5.0-dev development version. Recorded as a linkage merge so later
forward-merges of real fixes land cleanly.
The shared fips.yaml ships ethernet.wan.interface: "eth0", the default
WAN port on OpenWrt 24 and earlier. OpenWrt 25 (DSA) boards, which the
.apk package targets, name the WAN port "wan" instead. Rewrite the
staged copy at build time so the as-installed config binds the Ethernet
transport to the right port out of the box, without maintaining a second
copy of the config file. The .ipk package keeps "eth0".
Update the openwrt README to document eth0 (24) vs wan (25/DSA) and add
a CHANGELOG entry.
A transient timeout uploading the built .ipk to the Blossom CDN
(blossom.primal.net) failed the entire OpenWrt Package run, and because
the GitHub release job depends on the build jobs, a CDN blip would block
every OpenWrt artifact from the release. Blossom/nostr distribution is
supplementary; the package already ships as a GitHub release artifact.
Wrap the upload in a 3-attempt retry with backoff to absorb transient
timeouts, mark the step continue-on-error so a persistent outage no
longer fails the build, and guard the NIP-94 publish on the upload
succeeding so no event is created with an empty URL. Applied to both the
.ipk and .apk build jobs.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A2pYfSypNmmG4HyHwZuLex
Forward-merge the v0.4.0 content finalize from master. The only master
commit merged touches the CHANGELOG, release notes, and README badge.
CHANGELOG reconciliation: adopt the regrouped, stamped [0.4.0] release
section verbatim from master (a frozen release record, identical across
branches), keep next's top-of-file Breaking block, and retain next's
XX-handshake / XX-rekey items in [Unreleased] as 0.5.0 work (the XX path
does not exist on master, which is IK). Release notes adopt master's
refreshed versions. README stays at v0.5.0-dev on next (master's badge
bump to v0.4.0 is master-line only).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A2pYfSypNmmG4HyHwZuLex
Prepare the source tree for the v0.4.0 release cut, leaving the version
at 0.4.0-dev (the version bump rides a separate release-candidate
commit).
- CHANGELOG: backfill the missing entry for the route-class transit
counters and fipstop routing-tab reorg, then reorganize the Unreleased
block from a flat per-commit list into topic-grouped subsections
mirroring the 0.3.0 entry (coalescing interim fixes into net-effect
descriptions without dropping technical detail), and stamp it as
[0.4.0] - 2026-06-21 with a fresh empty Unreleased block. The date is
provisional and reconfirmed at the final tag.
- Release notes: refresh both RELEASE-NOTES.md and the versioned archive
(kept byte-identical) to cover the OpenWrt .apk packaging, the Nix
flake, the macOS self-traffic checksum fix (#117), and the route-class
transit counters.
- README: bump the status badge to v0.4.0 so it matches the prose.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A2pYfSypNmmG4HyHwZuLex
Add six forwarding counters that partition transit-forwarded packets by their
tree relationship to the chosen next hop: tree-up (peer is our ancestor),
tree-down (peer is our descendant and the destination is within its subtree),
tree-down-cross (peer is our descendant but the destination is outside its
subtree), cross-link descend (lateral peer, destination within its subtree),
cross-link ascend (lateral peer, destination outside its subtree), and
direct-peer. The six classes sum to forwarded_packets, asserted by a unit
test. Classification is computed from tree coordinates at the transit
chokepoint, so the error-signal routing callers are excluded.
The two "outside the chosen peer's subtree" classes are both up-and-over
forwards but differ in what they depend on. Tree-down-cross is the
dive-to-tree-child cut-through: we forward down to our own child for a
destination not beneath it, which is only possible because the child
advertised cross-link reach upward to us, beyond its own subtree. Its count
measures how much forwarding depends on that upward advertisement, i.e. what
would change if cross-link advertisements were narrowed to subtree-entry only.
Cross-link ascend, by contrast, uses the node's own lateral cross-link learned
from a peer's split-horizon advertisement, so it does not depend on any upward
advertisement.
Surface the counters through the forwarding stats snapshot (control socket,
show_routing and show_status) and reorganize the fipstop routing tab so its
two columns separate own/endpoint traffic (received, delivered, originated)
from forwarded/transit traffic (the route-class breakdown and drop reasons),
with the tree-down-cross line visually flagged.
