Bring the local runner (testing/ci-local.sh) and GitHub CI into agreement on two axes. Suite coverage: the admission-cap integration suite ran only locally, so a regression in it could never turn the GitHub gate red. Add an admission-cap leg to the integration matrix, add testing/check-ci-parity.sh (wired as 'ci-local.sh --check-parity') to diff the two suite sets and fail on unexpected drift, and document the deliberate local-only (live-Tor) and granularity-only differences in a comment block atop both runners. Toolchain selection: every CI and packaging job installed its toolchain with dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable, but the rust-toolchain.toml channel pin overrode it for all compilation, wasting an install and printing a misleading rustc version. Switch the stable call sites to actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain, which reads rust-toolchain.toml as the single source of truth. Keep the explicit cache steps (cache: false on the new action), set rustflags empty so the action does not impose a global -D warnings the previous setup never applied, fold the macOS cross-compile target into the action input, and leave the OpenWrt nightly Tier-3 leg on dtolnay/rust-toolchain@nightly.
FIPS Testing
Integration and simulation test harnesses for FIPS, using Docker containers running the full protocol stack.
Test Harnesses
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 |
| mesh-public | 5+1 | UDP | Mesh with external public node |
| tcp-chain | 3 | TCP | Linear chain over TCP (port 8443) |
| rekey | 5 | UDP | Rekey integration test topology |
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 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/ -- 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). 20 scenarios covering general stress testing, cost-based parent selection, mixed link technologies (fiber/Bluetooth/WiFi), 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.
