Bump Cargo.toml version 0.2.1-dev -> 0.2.1 and resync Cargo.lock,
move the CHANGELOG [Unreleased] block under [0.2.1] - 2026-05-11,
update the README status badge and prose to v0.2.1, and add the
release notes at docs/releases/release-notes-v0.2.1.md with a
mirrored copy at the repo root as RELEASE-NOTES.md.
The test used Identity::generate() for the signing node while pinning
the fixed root to node_addr byte[0]=0x01. About 2/256 random identities
have byte[0] <= 0x01, which made the generated node_addr the path
minimum and triggered AncestryRootNotMinimum. Regenerate the identity
until its node_addr is numerically larger than the fixed parent and
root, so the test matches the preconditions it asserts.
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.
Adds TreeAnnounce::validate_semantics() called from handle_tree_announce
before any tree-state mutation. Enforces that the ancestry accompanying
a parent declaration conforms to the spanning tree rules:
- first ancestry entry matches the signed sender
- is_root declarations carry a single-entry ancestry
- non-root declarations include the signed parent as the second entry
- the advertised root is the minimum node_addr in the ancestry
Non-conforming announcements are rejected with a warn log and no state
change. Adds unit tests for each rejected shape plus an integration
test covering the full receive path in a two-node tree.

Captures three fixes landed on maint since 0.2.0 that were not yet
recorded: the bloom-filter greedy-tree fallback fix, auto-connect
reconnect on graceful disconnect (#60), and fipsctl mesh-address
rejection (#61).
Check /run/fips/ directory existence instead of the socket file inside
it. Users not in the fips group can stat the directory but not traverse
it, so the socket file check silently returned false and fell back to
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with a misleading "No such file" error.
Bump version to 0.2.0 and finalize changelog with discovery rework,
Tor transport, connect/disconnect commands, reproducible builds, and
12 bug fixes.
Update design documentation for discovery protocol rework:
- fips-wire-formats.md: remove visited bloom filter from LookupRequest,
update size calculations
- fips-mesh-operation.md: replace flooding description with bloom-guided
tree routing, add retry/backoff/rate-limiting subsections
- fips-configuration.md: add 5 new discovery config parameters, update
control socket description for connect/disconnect commands
After rekey cutover, frames encrypted with the old session can still
arrive during the 10s drain window. These carry large sender timestamps
from the old session, producing enormous transit deltas that spike the
EWMA jitter estimator (observed 2,000-7,000ms spikes on UDP links).
Add a time-based grace period (DRAIN_WINDOW_SECS + 5s = 15s) after
rekey that suppresses jitter updates until drain-window frames have
flushed. Baselines still update every frame so calculation resumes
cleanly after grace expires.
Fixes#10
Add TorTransport in src/transport/tor/ supporting three operating modes:
Outbound (socks5 mode):
- Non-blocking SOCKS5 connect via tokio-socks with per-destination
circuit isolation (IsolateSOCKSAuth)
- TorAddr enum for .onion and clearnet address types
- Connection pool with per-connection receive tasks, reuses TCP
stream FMP framing
- connect_async()/connection_state_sync()/promote_connection() follow
the same non-blocking polling pattern as TCP transport
Inbound (directory mode — recommended for production):
- Tor manages the onion service via HiddenServiceDir in torrc
- FIPS reads .onion address from hostname file at startup
- No control port needed — enables Tor Sandbox 1 (seccomp-bpf)
- Accept loop mirrors TCP pattern with DirectoryServiceConfig
Monitoring (control_port mode and optional in directory mode):
- Async control port client supporting TCP and Unix socket connections
via Box<dyn AsyncRead/Write> trait objects
- AUTHENTICATE with cookie or password auth
- 8 GETINFO queries: bootstrap, circuits, traffic, liveness, version,
dormant state, SOCKS listeners
- Background monitoring task polls every 10s, caches TorMonitoringInfo
in Arc<RwLock> for synchronous query access
- Bootstrap milestone logging (25/50/75/100%), stall warning (>60s),
network liveness transitions, dormant mode entry
- Directory mode optionally connects to control port when control_addr
is configured (non-fatal on failure)
Operator visibility:
- show_transports query exposes tor_mode, onion_address, tor_monitoring
(bootstrap, circuit_established, traffic, liveness, version, dormant)
- fipstop transport detail view: Tor mode, onion address, SOCKS5/control
errors, connection stats, Tor daemon status section
- fipstop table view: tor(mode) label with truncated onion address hint
Security hardening:
- Per-destination circuit isolation via IsolateSOCKSAuth
- Unix socket default for control port (/run/tor/control)
- Reference torrc with HiddenServiceDir, VanguardsLiteEnabled,
ConnectionPadding, DoS protections (PoW + intro rate limiting)
Config:
- TorConfig with socks5, control_port, and directory modes
- DirectoryServiceConfig: hostname_file, bind_addr
- control_addr, control_auth, cookie_path, connect_timeout,
max_inbound_connections
Testing:
- 69 unit + integration tests with mock SOCKS5 and control servers
- Docker tests: socks5-outbound (clearnet via Tor) and directory-mode
(HiddenServiceDir onion service)
Documentation:
- Transport layer design doc: Tor architecture, directory mode
- Configuration doc: Tor config tables and examples
Add resolve_socket_addr() with IP fast path and tokio::net::lookup_host()
fallback for DNS hostnames. Peer addresses can now use hostnames like
"peer1.example.com:2121" alongside IP addresses.
UDP transport adds a per-transport DNS cache (60s TTL) to avoid
per-packet resolution. TCP resolves at connect time (one-shot).
Update design docs, config examples, and changelog to reflect hostname
support in transport addressing.
Update all fips-network/fips references to jmcorgan/fips across
Cargo.toml, README, CONTRIBUTING, packaging, and config files.
Merge CHANGELOG Unreleased and 0.1.0-alpha sections into a single
0.1.0 release entry. Update README roadmap.
Update 9 documentation files to match current implementation:
- Add missing rekey config section (node.rekey.*) and host mapping
section to fips-configuration.md
- Update Ethernet frame format from [type:1][payload] to
[type:1][length:2 LE][payload] in wire-formats and transport docs
- Fix Ethernet effective MTU from interface-1 to interface-3
- Mark rekey as Implemented in mesh-layer and session-layer status tables
- Change TCP default port examples from 443 to 8443
- Add rekey, persistent identity, host mapping, mesh size estimation to
README features and status sections
- Update chaos scenario count from 16 to 20, add rekey topology to
static test docs
Add a HostMap that resolves human-readable hostnames to npubs,
enabling `gateway.fips` instead of the full `npub1...xyz.fips`.
Two sources populate the map: peer `alias` fields from the YAML
config and an operator-maintained hosts file at /etc/fips/hosts.
The DNS responder auto-reloads the hosts file on each request by
checking the file modification time, so operators can update
mappings without restarting the daemon.
- New src/upper/hosts.rs: HostMap, HostMapReloader, hostname
validation, hosts file parser with auto-reload on mtime change
- DNS resolver checks host map before falling back to direct npub
- Node uses host map for peer display names
- Default hosts file added to both .deb and tarball packaging
- 26 new tests (789 total)
Embed git commit hash, dirty flag, and target triple in all binaries
via a zero-dependency build.rs. Wire clap short/long version output
so -V shows "0.1.0 (rev abc1234)" and --version adds the target
triple. Log version at daemon startup.
Add version field to show_status control socket API response. Show
the daemon's version in fipstop's tab bar title and Runtime section.
Add CHANGELOG.md in Keep a Changelog format with the 0.1.0-alpha
release (2026-02-24) and unreleased work since then.
