Johnathan Corgan fed6cc6987 Fix chaos sim DNS pipeline, ephemeral npub tracking, and analysis
Three infrastructure bugs fixed:

- DNS resolution never populated the identity cache because Docker
  overwrites /etc/resolv.conf at container start. Fix: bind-mount
  resolv.conf in the chaos compose template, matching the static and
  sidecar test configs.

- Traffic generator used config-time npubs for iperf3 targets, but
  ephemeral nodes generate fresh keypairs at startup. Fix: share the
  peer churn manager's runtime npub cache with the traffic manager.

- Log analysis had no discovery counters and used wrong patterns.
  Fix: add discovery section with correct log message matching.

Also adds timestamped output directories (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-scenario),
coord_ttl_secs override in maelstrom.yaml, FIPS_SIM_OUTPUT env var
support, and maelstrom-sparse scenario for sparse topology testing.

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)

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.
