Johnathan Corgan 867f5f81b4 build: produce every Linux artifact in a pinned container and check its floor 
The released .deb installs cleanly on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 and the
daemon then cannot start, with the loader reporting GLIBC_2.39 not found.
Three binaries are affected, fips, fipstop and fips-gateway; fipsctl runs,
which is why it stayed quiet, since an install checked by running fipsctl
gets a clean answer while the daemon is dead. It is not a v0.5.0 regression:
every release artifact from v0.3.0 onward carries the same floor and the same
unversioned dependency.

The cause is the build machine. Rust's standard library references
pidfd_spawnp and pidfd_getpid as weak undefined symbols behind a runtime
check, so a binary should fall back where the C library lacks them. Linking
against a C library that has them records a hard version dependency instead,
and the loader refuses the image on that entry alone. No Rust changed here.

One script now produces the Linux artifacts. It builds in a container pinned
to the oldest distribution still supported for free by its distributor, named
with the floor in packaging/build-floor.env, and runs the floor check on the
package it produced, so every producer is gated rather than one workflow. The
floor guard reads readelf's Version needs section: the obvious objdump
formulation returns 2.2.5 for the shipped fips and would have passed every
affected release.

The script prints the package path as the only thing on its stdout, which is
what lets a caller take it without parsing, and it takes --features. Both
required care. The container's own stdout reaches the caller, so the build
runs with its output on stderr; without that, a caller using a plain command
substitution captures four lines of build chatter along with the path. And a
feature build must keep the +<features> marker that distinguishes it from the
default build of the same commit, or dpkg sees two packages at one version and
a revert silently no-ops. The version is derived on the host, because the
image has no git and the source is mounted read-only, so build-deb.sh now
applies that marker to an explicit version as well as to one it derives.

Both runners now build once through that script and install the artifact.
The five deb-install legs previously built their own package each, so one CI
run performed five complete release builds and four were waste; they now live
in a job of their own that downloads one built package, which also stops the
rest of the integration matrix waiting on it. The parity guard read one
hardcoded job and now sweeps every job's matrix. The release workflow builds
both architectures through the same script, and the systemd tarball takes its
binaries out of that package instead of from a second, unchecked set on the
runner, then is floor-checked after the strip.

Cargo.toml derives the dependency with $auto rather than stating a bare libc6
that nothing can fail. Note the ordering this implies for any pipeline that
builds on a current distribution: until it builds through this script, its
packages will declare libc6 (>= 2.39).

Measured: the container build produces four binaries at 2.34, and one artifact
passes all five distributions, 95 checks, in about two minutes. The floor
check fails the released 0.5.0 package on three binaries and passes this one.
A profiling build produces fips_0.5.1~dev+git<date>.<sha>+profiling-1_amd64.deb.

# FIPS Testing
Integration and simulation test harnesses for FIPS, using Docker
containers running the full protocol stack.
## Test Harnesses
### [static/](static/) -- Static Docker Network
Fixed topologies with manual scripts for building, config generation,
connectivity tests (ping, iperf), and network impairment (netem).
Useful for deterministic debugging and validating specific topology
configurations.
| Topology | Nodes | Transport | Description |
| ----------- | ----- | --------- | -------------------------------- |
| mesh | 5 | UDP | Sparse mesh, 6 links, multi-hop |
| chain | 5 | UDP | Linear chain, max 4-hop paths |
| rekey | 5 | UDP | Rekey integration test topology |
### [tor/](tor/) -- Tor Transport Integration
End-to-end Tor transport testing with Docker containers running real
Tor daemons. Requires internet access for Tor bootstrapping.
| Scenario | Description |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| socks5-outbound | Outbound SOCKS5 connections through Tor to clearnet peer |
| directory-mode | Inbound via HiddenServiceDir onion service (co-located) |
### [nat/](nat/) -- NAT Traversal Lab
Real Docker NAT traversal tests for the Nostr/STUN bootstrap path,
using router containers with `iptables`-based NAT, a local Nostr relay,
and a local STUN responder.
| Scenario | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| cone | Two NATed peers establish a UDP traversal path |
| symmetric | UDP traversal fails under symmetric NAT, TCP fallback wins |
| lan | Peers on the same LAN prefer local addresses over reflexive |
### [chaos/](chaos/) -- Stochastic Simulation
Automated network testing with configurable node counts, topology
algorithms (random geometric, Erdos-Renyi, chain, explicit), and fault
injection (netem mutation, link flaps, traffic generation, node
churn). 10 scenarios covering general stress and node churn, discovery
over sparse topologies, spanning-tree and bloom-propagation regression,
transport-specific validation (UDP, TCP, Ethernet), and ECN/congestion
testing. Scenarios are
defined in YAML and executed via a Python harness that manages the full
lifecycle: topology generation, Docker orchestration, fault scheduling,
log collection, and analysis.
### [interop/](interop/) -- Mixed-Version Interop Harness
On-demand harness that runs an N-node full mesh from a node-spec where
each node can run a different build of the FIPS daemon, then attributes
every FMP/FSP/rekey/connectivity failure to a specific version pair
(same-version vs MIXED). Used to catch interop regressions between
builds, not as a per-commit CI gate; not part of `ci-local.sh`.
### [mesh-lab/](mesh-lab/) -- Mesh Reliability Lab
On-demand harness that runs a chosen integration suite N times under a
configurable host-pressure profile (idle / light / github-runner-
equivalent / heavy via `stress-ng`), per-container netem impairment,
and optional trace-level RUST_LOG, capturing per-rep diagnostics and a
mechanism-match summary across the run. Used for statistical reliability
characterization of known flake classes under calibrated stress, not as
a per-commit gate; not part of `ci-local.sh`.
### [sidecar/](sidecar/) -- Network Sidecar Isolation
FIPS running as a sidecar container that owns the network namespace of
a companion application container, with iptables/ip6tables rules
confining the app to the mesh. `scripts/test-sidecar.sh` boots a
three-node chain of such pairs and asserts both connectivity and
isolation.
### [firewall/](firewall/) -- nftables Baseline
End-to-end exercise of the production `fips0` nftables baseline at
`packaging/common/fips.nft`, covering the default-deny, conntrack and
drop-in semantics.
### [acl-allowlist/](acl-allowlist/) -- Peer ACL Enforcement
Six nodes with per-node allowlist files mounted at the runtime ACL
paths, exercising insiders, outsiders and allowed remotes at once to
check which peer pairs are admitted and which are rejected.
### [native-api/](native-api/) -- Native Datagram API
Checks the experimental native datagram API: a client process opens a
flow to a remote pubkey over a Unix socket, receives a file descriptor,
and exchanges datagrams on it with no TUN device and no IPv6 emulation.
### [dns-resolver/](dns-resolver/) -- `fips-dns-setup` Backends
Runs `fips-dns-setup` against each supported Linux resolver backend in
systemd containers, verifying backend detection, generated config and
teardown, plus an end-to-end scenario that resolves a `.fips` name
through the configured backend.
### [deb-install/](deb-install/) -- Debian Package Install
Installs the built `.deb` in privileged systemd containers for each
target distro and verifies unit enablement, conffile placement and
end-to-end `.fips` resolution as a user would meet it.
### [boringtun/](boringtun/) -- WireGuard Throughput Baseline
Two userspace WireGuard peers running Cloudflare BoringTun, measured
with `iperf3`, as a comparison baseline for FIPS tunnel throughput.
### [ble/](ble/) -- BLE L2CAP Spike
Standalone cargo project (`ble_spike`) that validates the `bluer` API
assumptions behind the `BleIo` trait against real adapters on two
machines. Not a Docker harness.
## Running CI locally (`ci-local.sh`)
[`ci-local.sh`](ci-local.sh) runs the full local CI pipeline — build,
clippy, unit tests, and the integration suites (including the chaos
scenarios) — mirroring the GitHub `ci.yml` integration matrices. Run
`./ci-local.sh --help` for the full option list and `--list` for the
available suites. Every run starts with a parity check that verifies the
local suite set covers the same work as the GitHub matrix, per scenario for
chaos and per distro for deb-install, across every job that carries a
matrix; a divergence fails the run. GitHub
runs the same check as its own `ci-parity` job. `--check-parity` runs it
alone (see [check-ci-parity.sh](check-ci-parity.sh)).
### Per-run isolation and the `FIPS_CI_RUN_ID` override
Every invocation derives a **run id** and scopes all of its Docker
resources to it, so two simultaneous runs on the same host (for example,
one per git worktree, or an operator testing by hand while CI is in
flight) never collide:
- **Compose projects** are named `fipsci_<run-id>_<suite>`, so
container, network, and volume names are all prefixed per run.
- **Build images** are tagged `fips-test:<run-id>` and
`fips-test-app:<run-id>`, exported as `FIPS_TEST_IMAGE` /
`FIPS_TEST_APP_IMAGE`, and **every** compose file and suite script reads
those. The run does not write `fips-test:latest` at all: a bridge back to
that shared mutable name would let a consumer that had been missed keep
working while resolving whichever concurrent run wrote the tag last.
`:latest` stays the hand-build name, produced by
`testing/scripts/build.sh`, and remains the default every consumer falls
back to when the variables are unset.
- **The build context** is a per-run copy at `testing/docker-<run-id>/`,
exported as `FIPS_BUILD_CONTEXT`. It is absolute because compose resolves
a relative build context against the compose file's own directory rather
than the working directory. `testing/docker/` is the hand-run context and
a CI run does not write to it. Without this, two runs race on the contents
of one directory and either can build a correctly-per-run-tagged image
from the other's binaries.
- Each parallel chaos child gets a unique, non-overlapping `/24` in
`10.30.x` (via the sim `--subnet` override). `10.30.x` sits outside
Docker's default address pool and the fixed-subnet suites' `172.x`
ranges, so neither a sibling chaos child nor an auto-assigned network
can swallow a pinned subnet.
By default the run id is `<short-git-sha>-<random>` — the SHA portion
records *what code* a container is testing, the random suffix keeps
simultaneous runs of the same SHA disjoint. Override it for a
reproducible, attach-by-name debug session:
```sh
FIPS_CI_RUN_ID=mydebug ./ci-local.sh --only static-mesh
# containers are named fipsci_mydebug_static_fips-node-a, etc.
```
### Preemption-safety and exit codes
`ci-local.sh` is safe to cancel mid-run. A signal trap tears down *every*
compose project the run started (not just the current suite) and reaps
any in-flight parallel chaos children, bounded by a `timeout` so a stuck
`compose down` cannot wedge the trap. Exit codes distinguish a cancelled
run from a failing one:
| Code | Meaning |
| ---- | ------- |
| `0` | all stages passed |
| `1` | one or more stages failed |
| `130` | interrupted by SIGINT — cancelled, not a failure |
| `143` | terminated by SIGTERM — cancelled, not a failure |
A preempting CI worker (the push-triggered, CI-gated build pipeline that
kills an in-flight run when a newer same-branch tip arrives) maps
`130`/`143` → *cancelled* (discard, do not record a failing commit), `0`
→ green, any other non-zero → red.
### Cleaning up leftover resources
Every CI-created container, network, and volume carries the label
`com.corganlabs.fips-ci=1`. If a run is hard-killed (SIGKILL, OOM, crash)
and leaves resources behind, reap them with:
```sh
./ci-local.sh --reap # or: ./ci-cleanup.sh
```
[`ci-cleanup.sh`](ci-cleanup.sh) force-removes everything bearing the CI
label or a `fipsci_` compose-project prefix; it is safe to run when there
is nothing to reap and safe to run repeatedly. Pass `--project-prefix` to
scope the sweep to a single run.
It also removes the chaos simulation's leftover host-namespace veth
interfaces (`vh…a`/`vh…b`), the one resource it touches that is neither a
docker object nor labelled — a host interface can carry neither a label
nor a compose project, so it is matched by name shape alone. That makes
the reach here asymmetric with everything above, and worth stating
plainly:
- A bare `chaos.sh` run's **containers** survive a broad reap. Its
compose project is not `fipsci_`, and the simulation labels only the
network, not the services.
- A bare `chaos.sh` run's **veth interfaces do not.** An unscoped reap
deletes them while they are in use, severing the Ethernet links of a
live simulation and leaving its containers running.
So do not run a broad `--reap` while a bare simulation is up. Scope the
interface sweep with `--veth-suffixes` (which is what `ci-local.sh`'s own
teardown passes) or wait for the simulation to finish. `--project-prefix`
does not help here: it scopes only the compose-project sweep.
