The mesh0/mesh1 and ap0/ap1 Ethernet transports shipped commented out, and fips-mesh-setup / fips-ap-setup awk-toggled the comment prefix in fips.yaml when they created or removed an interface. That existed for one reason: a transport whose interface was missing at startup was skipped and never retried, so a stock install that never ran the helpers would have logged a bind warning every boot. The daemon now waits for the interface and binds it when it appears, so the toggling has nothing left to protect. The blocks ship enabled with optional: true — which is the honest statement about a radio the router may never configure — and the helpers create the interface and stop there. No config rewrite, and no "restart fips AFTER the interface is up" step anywhere in either procedure. phy0-sta0 (wwan) gets optional: true for the same reason: it only exists while a radio is in station mode. eth0 and br-lan stay required, and the test pins that they do — marking the whole ethernet block optional would silence exactly the failures this policy exists to surface. With presence on IFF_UP rather than IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING, that stays correct for a router with nothing plugged into its LAN ports: absence now means the netdev is gone or admin-down, a real fault, rather than an empty switch port. fips-ap-setup still edits node.rendezvous.lan, and that one does still need a restart: it is a config value, not an interface. The changelog entry gains an upgrade note. fips.yaml is a package conffile, so a router whose setup script had already uncommented a block keeps that block untouched and never receives the new key; with optional defaulting to false the block is required, and an absent interface there stays Degraded and errors once at ten seconds where the shipped file is silent.
