fix(ble): reframe inbound L2CAP stream so packets survive non-SeqPacket backends

BLE delivery was unreliable on every backend except BlueZ. The receive
path assumed one `recv()` returned exactly one whole FIPS packet, which
only holds for BlueZ's SOCK_SEQPACKET (boundary-preserving). Android's
BluetoothSocket input stream and macOS CoreBluetooth are byte-stream
oriented: a read can return a fragment of a packet or several packets
coalesced. Under the old loop a fragment was shipped up as a runt packet
(rejected by FMP/Noise) and a coalesced tail was silently truncated and
dropped — so packets were lost and the transport thrashed.

Recover packet boundaries from the byte stream instead of trusting the
OS to preserve them. FIPS packets are self-delimiting via the 4-byte FMP
common prefix, so this reuses the exact length-prefixed framer TCP already
uses (`tcp::stream::read_fmp_packet`) — kept transport-agnostic for this
reason. A new `BleStreamRead` adapter turns the datagram-shaped `BleStream`
into the `AsyncRead` that framer expects, buffering leftover bytes across
reads. The recv future owns its scratch buffer and returns an owned Vec so
it is `'static` and storable across `poll_read` calls.

One reader is threaded through the pubkey exchange and the receive loop per
connection, so bytes a peer coalesces after the 33-byte pubkey stay buffered
rather than being lost at the handoff. The pubkey exchange now reads via
`read_exact` (reassembles a fragmented pubkey) instead of a brittle single
`recv()` with an exact-length check.

On BlueZ this is a transparent pass-through (one recv already equals one
packet); on stream backends it reassembles. Either way the layer above sees
one whole packet per read, identically on every platform.

Also bump the Android outbound SEND_QUEUE_CAP from 8 to 32. Swept against
the peer speedtest: 8 starved the radio's connection events (~half
throughput), 64 bufferbloated TCP, 32 was best (~200/500 kbps up/down). The
sweep was noisy and non-monotonic — run-to-run BLE variance (RF, 2M PHY /
connection-priority grants) rivals the knob's effect — so 32 is the
best-observed value pending re-validation with PHY/interval instrumentation,
not a proven optimum.

 ### Changed
 
-- `SessionDatagram::decrement_ttl` and `SessionDatagram::can_forward` now match
-  the forwarder's IP hop-limit semantics: `decrement_ttl` decrements first and
-  reports false when the result is zero, and `can_forward` is true only at a
-  TTL of 2 or more.
-
 ### Fixed
 
-- Nostr NAT traversal no longer breaks after the host suspends. The traversal
-  clock cached a Unix timestamp once at startup and advanced it with a
-  monotonic `Instant`, which does not tick while a machine is asleep, so after
-  a suspend the daemon's idea of the time trailed real time by the suspend
-  duration for the rest of the process lifetime. Every NIP-40 expiration it
-  computed was therefore published already in the past: relays dropped the
-  offers as expired, the initiator logged a signal timeout waiting for an
-  answer, and traversal stayed broken until the daemon was restarted. The
-  clock now reads the wall clock on every call. This is not macOS-specific,
-  though a laptop that sleeps is where it is easiest to hit; any host that
-  suspends or hibernates was affected. Reported in
-  [#128](https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips/issues/128).
-
-- `SessionDatagram` hop-limit handling now follows IP semantics. Delivery to
-  the addressed node is no longer TTL-gated, and a forwarder decrements before
-  deciding rather than after, so a datagram that would leave with a TTL of zero
-  is dropped instead of transmitted. Previously the TTL check ran ahead of the
-  local-delivery test, so a datagram addressed to this node that arrived with
-  TTL 0 was dropped, and a forwarder receiving a transit datagram at TTL 1
-  transmitted it at TTL 0 for the next hop to discard, wasting one transmission
-  per expiring datagram. The reachable radius is unchanged, because the two
-  behaviors compensated exactly: a path of `h` links still delivers for any
-  source TTL of `h` or more. During a rolling upgrade, an unupgraded forwarder
-  feeding an upgraded destination delivers one hop further than either version
-  does on its own; no version mix delivers less far. The `TtlExhausted` reject
-  counter now charges at the node that makes the decision rather than at the
-  hop after it.

-### Changed
-
-- `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` default raised from `0.10` to `0.20`. The
-  cap rejects inbound `FilterAnnounce` whose FPR (`fill^k`) exceeds it. On
-  the fixed 1 KB / k=5 filter, `0.10` corresponds to fill 0.631 (~1,630
-  reachable entries), and the busiest nodes' aggregates had again begun to
-  reach it as the mesh grew. `0.20` (fill 0.7248, ~2,114 entries) restores
-  headroom without materially weakening the antipoison gate: a saturated or
-  poisoned filter is ~100% FPR and still rejected. This is the second raise
-  of this cap in two releases; the fixed 1 KB filter is the underlying
-  constraint, and the structural remedy is the v2 filter work rather than a
-  further raise. A node running this default accepts announcements that a
-  v0.4.0 node drops, so during a rolling upgrade the two versions can
-  disagree about mesh size.
-- Bloom filter probing computes its SHA-256 digest once per operation
-  rather than once per hash function. All k indices were already derived
-  from a single digest, but the digest was recomputed inside the
-  per-function loop, so every insert and membership test hashed the same
-  bytes `hash_count` times (5x at the default). Output is bit-for-bit
-  identical; this is the hottest path in packet forwarding and mesh-size
-  estimation.
-- Identity operations reuse one shared `secp256k1` context instead of
-  constructing a fresh one at every sign, verify, and key-derive site.
-  Each construction allocated a context and ran randomization and blinding
-  table setup. Behavior is unchanged: the same API calls are made, only the
-  context lifetime differs, and the shared context still performs the
-  standard construction-time blinding.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Spanning tree: the coordinate cache is now invalidated when the parent
-  link is lost through peer removal. That path reparents or self-roots the
-  node but omitted the invalidation every other position-change path
-  performs, so cached entries for downstream destinations kept the node's
-  now-stale coordinate prefix. Because routing access refreshes an entry's
-  TTL, an actively routed stale entry never self-expired and was corrected
-  only by a fresh insert.
-- Discovery: applying a `LookupResponse` now keeps the tighter of the
-  cached and received `path_mtu` rather than overwriting unconditionally.
-  A looser estimate arriving in a later response could clobber a tighter
-  value already learned from a reactive `MtuExceeded` or
-  `PathMtuNotification`, loosening a clamp that had been correctly
-  tightened.
-
-### Removed
-
-- The `parent_switched` spanning-tree metric counter. It was incremented on
-  the line immediately before `parent_switches` at every site and never
-  independently, so the two were always identical. `parent_switches`
-  remains as the sole counter. Consumers reading `parent_switched` from the
-  control socket or `fipstop` should use `parent_switches`.

-v0.4.1 is a maintenance release on the v0.4.x line. It raises the default
-antipoison cap on inbound bloom filter announcements, removes a redundant
-spanning-tree metric counter, fixes two convergence and path-MTU bugs, and
-cuts per-packet CPU in the bloom and identity paths. There is no wire

+v0.4.0 is the throughput-and-observability release on the v0.3.x wire
+format. It adds two new ways for nodes to find and reach each other (the
+Nym mixnet transport and opt-in mDNS LAN discovery), overhauls the data
+plane for higher single-node throughput and lower per-packet CPU, moves
+the entire operator read surface off the data-plane hot path so
+observability stays responsive under load, ships a reworked `fipstop`
+TUI, and hardens FMP and FSP rekey to be hitless under packet loss in
+both directions. It also folds in the accumulated mesh-convergence,
+admission-control, and packaging fixes from the maintenance line.

 ## At a glance
 
-- `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` default moves from `0.10` to `0.20`.
-- The `parent_switched` metric counter is gone. Use `parent_switches`.
-- Spanning tree no longer serves stale coordinates after a parent link is
-  lost through peer removal.
-- Discovery no longer loosens a path MTU clamp it had correctly tightened.
-- Bloom probing and identity operations do measurably less work per call,
-  with identical results.

+FIPS can now peer over the [Nym](https://nymtech.net/) mixnet for
+metadata-resistant connectivity. The new `transports.nym` transport
+makes outbound connections through a `nym-socks5-client` SOCKS5 proxy
+that you run alongside the daemon (for example as a service running
+alongside the fips daemon, or as a sidecar container). The transport
+waits at startup for the nym-socks5-client to become ready before giving
+up.
+
+This is a privacy and anonymity deployment mode chosen for its own
+properties. It mixes your FIPS traffic into the Nym cover-traffic
+network so that link-level observers cannot correlate which mesh peers
+are talking. A new `examples/sidecar-nostr-mixnet-relay/` demonstrates a
+FIPS-reachable Nostr relay peered across the mixnet end to end, and a
+single-container demo ships with the transport.
+
+Enable it by adding a `transports.nym` instance and pointing it at your
+running nym-socks5-client. See the transports reference for the field
+set.
+
+### mDNS LAN discovery
+
+Nodes on a shared local link can now find each other with zero address
+configuration. The opt-in `node.discovery.lan` path runs an mDNS /
+DNS-SD responder and browser: each node advertises a FIPS service record
+on the link and adopts the peers it discovers. This complements the
+existing Nostr-mediated overlay discovery for the common case where the
+peers are simply on the same LAN.
+
+Turn it on with `node.discovery.lan.enabled: true`. `service_type` and
+`scope` tune the advertised service record and which interfaces
+participate. Discovery on the local link needs no relay and no STUN.
+
+### Data-plane throughput overhaul
+
+The receive and send paths were reworked for higher single-node
+throughput and lower per-packet CPU, building on the v0.3.0
+crypto-backend swap:
+
+- **Off-task encrypt and decrypt.** Per-peer encrypt and decrypt now run
+  on dedicated worker tasks rather than inline on the receive loop, so a
+  single busy peer no longer serializes the whole node's crypto.
+- **GSO and connected-UDP send.** The Linux send path uses generic
+  segmentation offload and a connected-UDP socket where available,
+  cutting syscall overhead on bulk flows.
+- **Copy-avoidance on receive.** The receive hot path avoids buffer
+  copies it previously made per packet.
+- **Batched macOS receive.** macOS gains a `recvmsg_x` batched receive,
+  mirroring the Linux `recvmmsg` batching from v0.3.0.
+- **Shared immutable-state context and an atomic metric registry.**
+  Immutable per-node state moved into a single shared context, and
+  counters live in an atomic metric registry that the new `show_metrics`
+  query reads without touching the hot path.
+
+These are all internal to the data plane and require no operator action.
+
+### Observability off the hot path
+
+Every read-only control query now renders from a snapshot published once
+per tick into a lock-free `ArcSwap`, served from the control accept task
+instead of round-tripping the data-plane receive loop. This covers
+`show_status`, `show_stats_*`, `show_peers`, `show_sessions`,
+`show_links`, `show_connections`, `show_transports`, `show_mmp`,
+`show_tree`, `show_bloom`, `show_cache`, `show_routing`,
+`show_identity_cache`, `show_acl`, `show_listening_sockets`, and the new
+`show_metrics`. Only the mutating `connect` and `disconnect` commands
+still reach the loop.
+
+The practical effect: on a loaded node where the receive loop was busy,
+`fipsctl` and `fipstop` queries previously stalled or timed out (the
+five-second query pattern operators saw). They now answer promptly
+regardless of data-plane load. Per-entity snapshots reuse unchanged rows
+by pointer, so the per-tick publish cost stays bounded as peer and
+session counts grow.
+
+A new **`show_metrics`** query (surfaced as `fipsctl stats metrics`)
+returns a counter-only snapshot of every metric family. It is the
+enabler for a Prometheus scraper that pulls node counters at no hot-path
+cost.
+
+Six **route-class transit counters** partition transit-forwarded packets
+by their tree relationship to the chosen next hop — tree-up, tree-down,
+tree-down-cross, cross-link descend, cross-link ascend, and direct-peer
+— and the six classes sum to `forwarded_packets`. They surface through
+`show_routing` and `show_status`, and the `fipstop` routing tab is
+reorganized so its two columns separate own/endpoint traffic from
+forwarded/transit traffic with the tree-down-cross line visually flagged.
+
+### Reworked fipstop TUI
+
+`fipstop` gets a rendering, navigation, and read-surface overhaul on a
+machine-verified base: a render-snapshot harness asserts the exact text
+grid and per-cell style of every view against canned control-socket
+output. New daemon-resolved fields surface through the snapshots,
+including effective persistence, root and is-root state, a
+per-transport-type peer-count map, per-peer effective depth, the root
+npub, and the last-sent uptree filter fill ratio with the subtree size
+estimate.
+
+A separate fix clears a garbled-screen problem on startup and stray
+bytes on quit, most visible over SSH and inside tmux: startup now forces
+a full repaint before the first draw, and quit stops and joins the
+stdin-poll thread before restoring the terminal, so post-raw-mode
+keystrokes no longer echo onto the restored screen.
+
+### Rekey reliability
+
+FMP and FSP session rekey are now hitless under packet loss and
+reordering in both directions:
+
+- Inbound frames are authenticated against the pending session before
+  the K-bit cutover promotes it, so a spoofed or stale frame cannot
+  derail a rekey in progress.
+- Rekey message-1 retransmission is bounded, and the link-dead heartbeat
+  is rekey-aware so an in-flight rekey is not mistaken for a dead link.
+- FSP session rekey holds connectivity across the rekey window under
+  loss and reordering.
+- Dual-initiation races (both peers starting a rekey at once on a
+  high-latency link) are desynchronized with symmetric jitter so the two
+  sides converge on one session rather than fighting.
+- An exhausted retransmission-budget abort, an expected and self-limiting
+  outcome on lossy or high-latency links, is logged at debug rather than
+  warn.
+
+The net operator takeaway: rekey completes cleanly without dropping
+traffic, even on lossy or high-latency links, and the log no longer
+cries wolf when a rekey gives up and retries.
+
+### New packaging targets
+
+- **OpenWrt `.apk`.** A new `.apk` package targets OpenWrt 25+, where
+  apk-tools is the mandatory package manager; the existing `.ipk`
+  continues to cover OpenWrt 24.x and earlier. It is built SDK-free,
+  reusing the `.ipk` cross-compile and installed-filesystem payload, and
+  releases publish `.apk` artifacts and checksums alongside `.ipk`. Like
+  the `.ipk`, the package is unsigned and installed with
+  `apk add --allow-untrusted`.
+- **Nix flake.** A `flake.nix` at the project root builds all four
+  binaries (`fips`, `fipsctl`, `fips-gateway`, `fipstop`) from source on
+  Nix/NixOS, pinning the exact toolchain and wiring the native build
+  dependencies so no host setup is needed beyond Nix with flakes
+  enabled. It exposes `nix build`, `nix run`, a `nix develop` dev shell,
+  and `nix flake check`, with `flake.lock` committed for reproducibility.
 
 ## Behavior changes worth flagging
 
-### The inbound filter FPR cap default doubles again
+These affect operators on upgrade.
 
-`node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` goes from `0.10` to `0.20`. The cap rejects
-inbound `FilterAnnounce` frames whose advertised false positive rate
-exceeds it. On the fixed 1 KB, k=5 filter, `0.10` corresponds to a fill of
-0.631 and roughly 1,630 reachable entries, and the busiest nodes'
-aggregates had started reaching that ceiling as the mesh grew. `0.20`
-corresponds to a fill of 0.7248 and roughly 2,114 entries.
-
-Be aware that this is the second time in two releases that this default
-has doubled, for the same reason both times. That is worth stating plainly
-rather than repeating the previous release's framing: raising the cap buys
-headroom, it does not fix anything. The real constraint is the fixed 1 KB
-filter size, which is a protocol constant. The structural remedy is the v2
-filter work, where filter capacity scales with the mesh instead of being
-pinned. This release is an interim step to keep legitimate aggregates from
-being rejected until that lands. It is not the start of a pattern of
-raising the cap once per release, and if you are sizing capacity planning
-around this number, plan against the v2 work rather than against a third
-raise.
-
-The antipoison property the cap exists for is preserved. A saturated or
-deliberately poisoned filter still presents an FPR near 100% and is still
-rejected.
-
-**This matters during a rolling upgrade.** A v0.4.1 node accepts a
-`FilterAnnounce` with a derived FPR between 0.10 and 0.20; a v0.4.0 node
-drops the same frame, and the drop is silent on the wire with no NACK. The
-cap also gates the mesh size estimator, which declines to produce a value
-when any contributing filter is over the cap. So while a mesh is partly
-upgraded, upgraded and not-yet-upgraded nodes can legitimately report
-different mesh sizes, or one can report a size while the other reports
-unknown. This resolves once every node is on v0.4.1. If you want to avoid
-the window entirely, set `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr: 0.10` explicitly in
-your config before upgrading and remove it after the last node is done.
-
-### The `parent_switched` counter is removed
-
-`parent_switched` was incremented on the line immediately before
-`parent_switches` at every site and never independently, so the two
-counters always held the same value. `parent_switched` is now gone from
-the tree metrics, the control socket snapshot, and the `fipstop` tree
-view. `parent_switches` remains and is unchanged.
-
-If you scrape the control socket, or have dashboards or alerts referencing
-`parent_switched`, point them at `parent_switches`. Anything still asking
-for `parent_switched` will find nothing rather than a zero.
+- **Bloom filter antipoison cap raised.** `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr`
+  moves from 0.05 to 0.10, accepting filters with a higher derived
+  false-positive rate before rejecting them. This reduces spurious
+  filter rejections on larger meshes while keeping the antipoison
+  protection in place.
+- **TCP inbound cap honors `max_connections`.** The TCP inbound accept
+  ceiling now resolves from explicit per-transport
+  `max_inbound_connections`, then node-wide
+  `node.limits.max_connections`, then the built-in default of 256.
+  Previously the TCP inbound ceiling was hardwired to 256 and ignored
+  `max_connections`, so raising it had no effect on inbound TCP.
+- **Static host aliases hot-reload.** `/etc/fips/hosts` now reloads on
+  mtime change once per tick rather than only at startup, so display
+  names in `fipsctl` and `fipstop` reflect edits without a daemon
+  restart. The peer ACL reloads through the same lock-free snapshot
+  mechanism.
+- **Quieter logs on busy public-mesh nodes.** Routine per-peer
+  connection-lifecycle and capacity-cap events, no-route session-datagram
+  drops, and exhausted rekey-budget aborts are demoted to debug, so
+  genuinely notable info and warn lines are no longer drowned out.
+- **More visible drops.** Receive-path silent rejections now flow
+  through typed reject-reason counters, and discovery counts requests
+  dropped when the dedup cache is full (`req_dedup_cache_full`, visible
+  via `show_routing`). Drops that were previously silent are now
+  countable.
+- **Tor connect-refused accounting.** The Tor transport increments its
+  `connect_refused` statistic (the "Refused" line in `fipstop`) on an
+  actively-refused SOCKS5 connect, instead of recording every connect
+  failure as a generic SOCKS5 error.
 
 ## Notable bug fixes
 
-### Stale coordinates after losing a parent through peer removal
+The CHANGELOG has the exhaustive list. This is the operator-relevant
+subset of fixes for behavior that shipped in v0.3.0.
 
-When a node's parent link dropped via peer removal, the node correctly
-reparented or self-rooted, but skipped the coordinate cache invalidation
-that every other position-change path performs. Cached entries for
-downstream destinations kept the node's old coordinate prefix. This did
-not self-correct the way a stale cache entry normally would: routing
-access refreshes an entry's TTL, so an entry that was actively being
-routed through never expired, and was only fixed by an unrelated fresh
-insert. Both invalidation classes now run on this path, matching the
-loop-detection branch.
-
-### Discovery could loosen a tightened path MTU clamp
-
-An originator handling a `LookupResponse` overwrote its cached path MTU
-unconditionally. If a reactive `MtuExceeded` or `PathMtuNotification` had
-already taught it a tighter value, a later, looser discovery estimate
-would clobber that and re-loosen the clamp, risking a return to dropped
-oversized packets. The cached and received values are now compared and the
-tighter one is kept.
+- **Symmetric peer teardown on manual disconnect.** A manual
+  `fipsctl disconnect` now sends the peer a scoped Disconnect so both
+  ends tear down and re-handshake cleanly. Previously a manual
+  disconnect tore down only the local side, leaving the peer with a
+  stale session that was never re-adopted as a child and whose bloom
+  filter was never re-recorded.
+- **Gateway holds long-lived and DNS-cached mappings.** `fips-gateway`
+  no longer drops a virtual-IP mapping while traffic is still flowing.
+  The mapping TTL clock previously advanced only on DNS re-query, so a
+  busy long-lived or DNS-cached client could have its mapping reclaimed
+  mid-flow. The tick now refreshes the mapping whenever conntrack reports
+  active sessions and recovers a draining mapping to active when traffic
+  resumes; only genuinely idle mappings drain.
+- **Accurate mesh-size estimate under filter overlap.** The mesh-size
+  estimator now estimates the cardinality of the OR-union of self plus
+  every connected peer's inbound filter, instead of summing per-filter
+  cardinalities of tree peers. Summing assumed the filters were disjoint,
+  so a stale or oversized parent filter or a routing loop inflated the
+  reported mesh size and a tree rebalance flapped the count. OR-union
+  deduplicates overlap, equals the old result in the disjoint case, and
+  removes the estimate's dependence on tree-declaration cache freshness.
+- **Single-uplink node reattaches within a round-trip.** A node with one
+  tree peer, which has periodic parent re-evaluation disabled, was left
+  self-rooted and unreachable if its one-shot attaching TreeAnnounce was
+  lost, until the next periodic re-broadcast. Tree-position exchange is
+  now self-healing on the receive path: a node that hears an announce
+  advertising a strictly worse root echoes its own declaration back,
+  provoking the better-rooted peer to re-push its real position
+  immediately.
+- **macOS self-connections work end to end (#117).** Traffic a macOS
+  node sends to its own `<npub>.fips` address is now delivered locally
+  for full TCP/UDP, not just `ping6`. The point-to-point `utun` egresses
+  self-addressed packets into the daemon with an unfinished transport
+  checksum (macOS offloads it on the `lo0` loopback route), so
+  re-injecting them verbatim made the local stack drop every segment the
+  MSS-clamp rewrite did not happen to fix and self-connections
+  half-opened and hung. The hairpin path now recomputes the TCP/UDP
+  checksum before re-injection. Linux was unaffected.
 
 ## Upgrade notes
 
-This is a drop-in upgrade from v0.4.0 with no wire format change, no
-config migration, and no coordinated restart. Upgrade nodes in whatever
-order you like.
+Operator-actionable items moving from v0.3.0 to v0.4.0:
 
-Two things to do rather than assume:
+- **Wire-compatible, no flag day.** v0.4.0 peers with v0.3.0. Upgrade
+  nodes in any order. During a rolling upgrade you may see some log lines
+  on the upgraded side as it interacts with not-yet-upgraded peers;
+  behavior is correct, log noise only.
+- **Bloom antipoison cap default changed.** `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr`
+  now defaults to 0.10 (was 0.05). If you set this explicitly, review
+  whether you still want the old value.
+- **New optional config surfaces.** `transports.nym` (outbound Nym
+  mixnet) and `node.discovery.lan` (mDNS LAN discovery) are both opt-in
+  and off by default. Adding them is the only way to turn the new paths
+  on.
+- **TCP inbound cap.** If you relied on the old hardwired 256 inbound-TCP
+  ceiling, note it now honors `max_inbound_connections` then
+  `node.limits.max_connections` then 256.
+- **New observability query.** `fipsctl stats metrics` (the
+  `show_metrics` control query) returns a counter-only snapshot suitable
+  for a scraper.
 
-1. If you monitor `parent_switched`, move to `parent_switches` before
-   upgrading, or your dashboards will go blank rather than error.
-2. During the rolling window, expect upgraded and not-yet-upgraded nodes
-   to potentially disagree about mesh size, per the FPR cap section above.
-   This is expected and self-resolves. Do not chase it as a bug unless it
-   persists after every node reports `0.4.1`.
-
-If you have pinned `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` explicitly in your config,
-your setting is honored and nothing changes for you. The change only
-affects nodes taking the default.
-
-Downgrading to v0.4.0 is supported and needs no special handling.

+### App-Owned TUN (embedded hosts)
+
+On platforms where FIPS is embedded rather than run as a daemon — notably
+Android, where the `VpnService` owns the TUN fd and the app has no
+`CAP_NET_ADMIN` — FIPS does not create `fips0` itself. Instead the embedder owns
+the fd and exchanges IPv6 packet bytes with FIPS over channels.
+
+`Node::enable_app_owned_tun()` sets this up. It is called after `Node::new` and
+before `start()` (and before the node is moved into a background task), mirroring
+`control_read_handle()`, and returns two app-side channel ends:
+
+- **app → mesh** — the embedder pushes IPv6 packets read from its fd into
+  `app_outbound_tx`. These are drained by `run_rx_loop` into `handle_tun_outbound`
+  and routed exactly as the Reader Thread's output would be.
+- **mesh → app** — inbound mesh traffic on port 256 is reconstructed and written
+  to the node's `tun_tx` (the same sink the Writer Thread reads); the embedder
+  pulls from `app_inbound_rx` and writes to its fd.
+
+With the channels installed, `start()` skips system-TUN creation (it gates on
+`tun_tx` being unset), so FIPS does no `CAP_NET_ADMIN` operations.
+
+Because packets enter via `app_outbound_tx` rather than the Reader Thread, they
+**bypass `handle_tun_packet`** — the `fd00::/8` destination filter, the ICMPv6
+Destination Unreachable for off-mesh dests (see [Reader Thread](#reader-thread)),
+and the [TUN-Side TCP MSS Clamping](#tun-side-tcp-mss-clamping). The embedder is
+therefore responsible for routing only `fd00::/8` to its TUN (so only mesh-bound
+packets arrive) and for clamping TCP MSS on outbound SYNs.

-
-v0.4.1 is a maintenance release on the v0.4.x line. It raises the default
-antipoison cap on inbound bloom filter announcements, removes a redundant
-spanning-tree metric counter, fixes two convergence and path-MTU bugs, and
-cuts per-packet CPU in the bloom and identity paths. There is no wire
-format change and no new feature surface.
-
-v0.4.1 is wire-compatible with v0.4.0. Nodes can be upgraded one at a time
-with no coordinated restart, though one behavior change below is worth
-reading before you start a rolling upgrade.
-
-## At a glance
-
-- `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` default moves from `0.10` to `0.20`.
-- The `parent_switched` metric counter is gone. Use `parent_switches`.
-- Spanning tree no longer serves stale coordinates after a parent link is
-  lost through peer removal.
-- Discovery no longer loosens a path MTU clamp it had correctly tightened.
-- Bloom probing and identity operations do measurably less work per call,
-  with identical results.
-
-## Behavior changes worth flagging
-
-### The inbound filter FPR cap default doubles again
-
-`node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` goes from `0.10` to `0.20`. The cap rejects
-inbound `FilterAnnounce` frames whose advertised false positive rate
-exceeds it. On the fixed 1 KB, k=5 filter, `0.10` corresponds to a fill of
-0.631 and roughly 1,630 reachable entries, and the busiest nodes'
-aggregates had started reaching that ceiling as the mesh grew. `0.20`
-corresponds to a fill of 0.7248 and roughly 2,114 entries.
-
-Be aware that this is the second time in two releases that this default
-has doubled, for the same reason both times. That is worth stating plainly
-rather than repeating the previous release's framing: raising the cap buys
-headroom, it does not fix anything. The real constraint is the fixed 1 KB
-filter size, which is a protocol constant. The structural remedy is the v2
-filter work, where filter capacity scales with the mesh instead of being
-pinned. This release is an interim step to keep legitimate aggregates from
-being rejected until that lands. It is not the start of a pattern of
-raising the cap once per release, and if you are sizing capacity planning
-around this number, plan against the v2 work rather than against a third
-raise.
-
-The antipoison property the cap exists for is preserved. A saturated or
-deliberately poisoned filter still presents an FPR near 100% and is still
-rejected.
-
-**This matters during a rolling upgrade.** A v0.4.1 node accepts a
-`FilterAnnounce` with a derived FPR between 0.10 and 0.20; a v0.4.0 node
-drops the same frame, and the drop is silent on the wire with no NACK. The
-cap also gates the mesh size estimator, which declines to produce a value
-when any contributing filter is over the cap. So while a mesh is partly
-upgraded, upgraded and not-yet-upgraded nodes can legitimately report
-different mesh sizes, or one can report a size while the other reports
-unknown. This resolves once every node is on v0.4.1. If you want to avoid
-the window entirely, set `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr: 0.10` explicitly in
-your config before upgrading and remove it after the last node is done.
-
-### The `parent_switched` counter is removed
-
-`parent_switched` was incremented on the line immediately before
-`parent_switches` at every site and never independently, so the two
-counters always held the same value. `parent_switched` is now gone from
-the tree metrics, the control socket snapshot, and the `fipstop` tree
-view. `parent_switches` remains and is unchanged.
-
-If you scrape the control socket, or have dashboards or alerts referencing
-`parent_switched`, point them at `parent_switches`. Anything still asking
-for `parent_switched` will find nothing rather than a zero.
-
-## Notable bug fixes
-
-### Stale coordinates after losing a parent through peer removal
-
-When a node's parent link dropped via peer removal, the node correctly
-reparented or self-rooted, but skipped the coordinate cache invalidation
-that every other position-change path performs. Cached entries for
-downstream destinations kept the node's old coordinate prefix. This did
-not self-correct the way a stale cache entry normally would: routing
-access refreshes an entry's TTL, so an entry that was actively being
-routed through never expired, and was only fixed by an unrelated fresh
-insert. Both invalidation classes now run on this path, matching the
-loop-detection branch.
-
-### Discovery could loosen a tightened path MTU clamp
-
-An originator handling a `LookupResponse` overwrote its cached path MTU
-unconditionally. If a reactive `MtuExceeded` or `PathMtuNotification` had
-already taught it a tighter value, a later, looser discovery estimate
-would clobber that and re-loosen the clamp, risking a return to dropped
-oversized packets. The cached and received values are now compared and the
-tighter one is kept.
-
-## Upgrade notes
-
-This is a drop-in upgrade from v0.4.0 with no wire format change, no
-config migration, and no coordinated restart. Upgrade nodes in whatever
-order you like.
-
-Two things to do rather than assume:
-
-1. If you monitor `parent_switched`, move to `parent_switches` before
-   upgrading, or your dashboards will go blank rather than error.
-2. During the rolling window, expect upgraded and not-yet-upgraded nodes
-   to potentially disagree about mesh size, per the FPR cap section above.
-   This is expected and self-resolves. Do not chase it as a bug unless it
-   persists after every node reports `0.4.1`.
-
-If you have pinned `node.bloom.max_inbound_fpr` explicitly in your config,
-your setting is honored and nothing changes for you. The change only
-affects nodes taking the default.
-
-Downgrading to v0.4.0 is supported and needs no special handling.

+//! Android BLE backend: a [`BleIo`] whose radio lives in Kotlin.
+//!
+//! Android's BLE APIs are Java-only, so Kotlin owns the radio (scan, advertise,
+//! L2CAP listen/connect, socket read/write) and exchanges **raw bytes** with this
+//! Rust backend over a byte-bridge — symmetric to how nostr-vpn's `MobileTunnel`
+//! exchanges TUN packet bytes across the FFI. FIPS keeps everything above the
+//! `BleIo` trait (the pool, the cross-probe tiebreaker, the pubkey exchange,
+//! Noise); this backend only moves bytes and surfaces adverts.
+//!
+//! ## Layering
+//!
+//! FIPS cannot depend on the app crate (`myco-core`), so the split is:
+//!
+//! - [`AndroidRadio`] — an object-safe trait for the few **commands** the radio
+//!   must run (listen/connect/advertise/scan/close). `myco-core` implements it
+//!   via JNI calls into the Kotlin radio object.
+//! - [`AndroidBleBridge`] — the channel machinery shared by this backend and the
+//!   JNI layer. `myco-core` constructs it, injects it via
+//!   [`set_android_ble_bridge`], and drives its `deliver_*` / `next_send`
+//!   methods from its `Java_..._NativeCore_*` exports.
+//! - [`AndroidIo`] / [`AndroidStream`] / [`AndroidAcceptor`] / [`AndroidScanner`]
+//!   — the `BleIo` impl, delegating to the bridge.
+//!
+//! ## Direction of blocking (matches nostr-vpn's MobileTunnel)
+//!
+//! - **Inbound** bytes/events (Kotlin → Rust) are **pushed** non-blocking into
+//!   tokio channels (`deliver_recv`, `deliver_inbound`, `deliver_scan`,
+//!   `deliver_connect_result`); the awaiting FIPS task wakes.
+//! - **Outbound** bytes (Rust → Kotlin) are **pulled, blocking with timeout**, by
+//!   a per-channel Kotlin writer thread via [`AndroidBleBridge::next_send`].
+//!   `BleStream::send` only pushes into a std channel — it never calls JNI — so
+//!   the byte hot path never blocks a tokio worker on a JNI upcall.
+//!
+//! This module is platform-agnostic Rust (no JNI here — that lives in
+//! `myco-core`), so it compiles and unit-tests on the host with a mock radio.

+### Cost-based parent selection
 
-The cost-selection scenarios (cost-avoidance, depth-vs-cost, bottleneck-parent,
-cost-reeval, cost-stability, mixed-technology) were retired on 2026-07-23.
-Their subject was the pure `TreeState::evaluate_parent` decision — which parent
-wins on `effective_depth = depth + link_cost`, when periodic re-evaluation
-switches, and when hysteresis suppresses a flap. A Docker mesh could not test
-that reliably: the root is whichever node holds the smallest `NodeAddr`, MMP
-costs take several measurement windows to settle, and hold-down plus hysteresis
-timing all confound the outcome (a deterministic `link_swap` attempt still
-produced zero periodic switches in a full run).
+Explicit topologies with heterogeneous link types (fiber, Bluetooth, WiFi) to
+test that the spanning tree selects optimal parents based on link cost.
 
-That logic is now covered by deterministic sans-IO unit tests in
-`src/tree/tests.rs` (`test_evaluate_parent_cost_*`, `..._hysteresis_*`,
-`..._effective_depth_*`), which run in the cargo quartet on every commit and
-can each be shown to fail by breaking the cost or hysteresis logic.

+- **cost-mixed-7node**: Three link technologies in one mesh. Traffic enabled.

-#   nodes parented   9 8 7 6 5   -> the exact complement, in all 14

-#
-# The previous ceiling of 4 roots sat at roughly the 93rd percentile of
-# that distribution: one run in fourteen exceeded it and four sat at or
-# above it, so it reddened a share of runs whatever the daemon did. It
-# was set from six runs whose observed maximum was 3, which is how a

-# The ceiling is now 6, one step beyond the observed maximum of 5, and

-# only thing this assertion was ever meant to catch. Do not read a pass
-# as convergence: four of the six gating scenarios assert a floor of
-# this kind, and it means the mesh formed and nobody errored.
-#
-# min_sessions stays at 10 against an observed minimum of 12. It has

-"""Find shell functions that end in a logging call and whose status a caller tests.
-
-A bash function's exit status is the status of its last command. A function
-whose last statement is `echo`/`log`/`info`/... therefore returns 0 on every
-path that reaches the end, and any caller written as `if func`, `func || fail`
-or `func && ...` has a gate that cannot fire.
-
-This is not hypothetical and not a style rule. Two instances were found in one
-day in this tree:
-
-  * `run_chaos` ended in `record`, whose own last statement is an `echo`, so
-    every chaos row was unconditionally green from 2026-03-09.
-  * `build_fips_for_e2e` ended in `log`, so a failed binary extraction left the
-    previous run's cache in place and five end-to-end legs tested the previous
-    commit's code and reported green — a green run certifying software that was
-    never built.
-
-Both were repaired individually. This exists so the next one is caught by a
-gate rather than by a reader.
-
-WHAT IT ENFORCES, stated precisely, because it is a convention and not a bug
-hunt: a function whose exit status a caller tests must END WITH AN EXPLICIT
-`return`. It must not leave its success value to be whatever the last logging
-call happened to produce.
-
-That is deliberately stricter than "has a bug". Every instance in the tree when
-this check was written was in fact benign -- each failure path already returned
-early, so the trailing `echo` reported a genuine success. The point is that
-reading the function is the only way to know that, and the next edit that adds
-an unguarded command before the final log turns a benign shape into the exact
-defect above with nothing to notice it. An explicit terminal `return` costs one
-line and makes the class unreachable.
-
-WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT FLAG: a function ending in a logging call whose
-status nobody consumes. That is idiomatic and harmless — a reporting helper is
-supposed to end by reporting. The defect needs both halves, and scoping on the
-call sites rather than on the definitions is what keeps the finding list short
-enough to stay read. Same reasoning as check-log-strings.py scoping on what a
-grep reads rather than on what its file mentions.
-
-Exit codes:
-    0 — no function has both the shape and a status-testing caller
-    1 — at least one does
-    2 — the checker could not run (bad tree, unreadable file)
