The one case dynamic interface binding had no coverage for anywhere: a datagram crossing an Ethernet link while the interface underneath it goes away and comes back. No existing scenario could reach it, for two separate reasons. `ethernet-only` and `ethernet-mesh` both run with `traffic.enabled: false`, so no datagram crosses an Ethernet link in any test — `ethernet-only`'s own comment says exactly that, and names framing, the length field that trims NIC minimum-frame padding, and AEAD over Ethernet as unexercised because of it. And `link_flaps` cannot produce a rebind whatever it is pointed at: it simulates a down link with netem 100% loss, so the interface stays IFF_UP and the presence machine never sees an edge. `ethernet-mesh` has had link flaps enabled all along without once exercising a rebind. `node_churn` is what actually moves an interface. Stopping a container destroys its network namespace, deleting every veth in it — and deleting one end of a veth deletes its peer — so a *surviving* node watches its Ethernet interface disappear outright, and watches it return when the harness recreates the pair on restart. That is a real detach and a real rebind, driven from outside the daemon. The new scenario is a 4-node Ethernet ring with traffic on and one node churned at a time, with link flaps deliberately off so the only outage is a genuine interface removal and a traffic shortfall cannot be ambiguous between the two. Measured across four runs: 206-388 MB moved over Ethernet links while interfaces were being taken away underneath. It also needed an assertion that did not exist. Traffic results have always been written to `iperf3-results.json` and never read, so a scenario carrying `traffic.enabled: true` could have every session fail and still exit 0 on a green control plane — and a rebind under load is precisely what a tree snapshot cannot see. `min_traffic` counts sessions that finished with bytes actually received, treating iperf3's top-level `error` and a missing `end` block as zero, so a session only counts when it moved data. The baseline is calibrated against four runs rather than assumed: `max_roots` starts at the observed maximum plus one, and the site records the sample, its size, and why four runs is thin. The first draft asserted a single root and failed every run — the harness restores stopped nodes immediately before the final snapshot, so a just-restarted node has not re-parented yet and is briefly its own root. That is the scenario working. Wired into both runners, since a chaos scenario on one side only makes "local green" and "GitHub green" stop meaning the same thing; check-ci-parity was confirmed to fail on a one-sided addition before this was committed.
