Merge maint into master after the v0.4.1 release
Carries the v0.4.1 content up the one-way branch flow. The release itself belongs to maint, so the parts of this merge that identify a version are resolved in master's favor and the parts that describe the project's state are taken from maint. Kept master's: Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock at 0.5.0-dev, the README status badge, and the "FIPS is at v0.5.0-dev on the master branch" line. A patch release consumes no minor version and master's development line is unaffected by it. Took from maint: the bloom antipoison FPR default change and the duplicate-definition fix it rests on, the two docs that describe them, the new v0.4.1 release notes, the correction to the v0.4.0 release date, and the [0.4.1] changelog section, which slots below master's own [Unreleased] and above [0.4.0]. The root RELEASE-NOTES.md mirror moves to v0.4.1 because it tracks the latest shipped release, which also clears the stale provisional date it had been carrying. One line needed splitting rather than choosing: the README said "v0.4.0 has shipped" inside the paragraph that identifies master as 0.5.0-dev. The version identity stays master's and the shipped-release pointer moves to v0.4.1. Quartet green on the result: 1645 tests passed, clippy clean with -D warnings. |

Raise the bloom antipoison FPR cap default to 0.20
The inbound FilterAnnounce cap at 0.10 rejects aggregates that are legitimately near their operating ceiling, before the network reaches the fixed-filter capacity limit. Raise the default to 0.20, which corresponds to fill 0.7248 at k=5, about 2,114 entries on the 1 KB filter (Swamidass-Baldi). Also remove the duplicate default definitions in BloomConfig. Each default was written twice, once in impl Default and once in the serde default function, with nothing enforcing that they agree, so a config file that omits the key took a different path from one that sets it. impl Default now delegates to the serde default functions, leaving a single source of truth. |

transport/ethernet: rename config discovery flag to listen
Rename the Ethernet per-interface config flag from discovery to listen, so the receive/transmit toggle pair reads as the symmetric announce (transmit) / listen (receive) neighbor-beacon vocabulary. The old discovery: key is still accepted via a serde alias, so deployed configs load unchanged; to_yaml re-emits it under the canonical listen: name. Marked deprecated for removal at the v2 cutover. Updates the config field + accessor, the transport listen_enabled local, the one struct-literal test consumer, the chaos sim config generator, packaged fips.yaml examples, and the classified operator-facing docs (ethernet neighbor-beacon subsystem prose; the generic Transport discovery capability prose is left unchanged). Adds a compat parse test asserting the legacy alias, the new key, and that deny_unknown_fields still rejects unknown keys. Behavior-neutral. |

Land v0.4.0 pre-release source content: docs, changelog, packaging
Bring the source tree to its finished v0.4.0 content state ahead of the release candidate. Documentation, changelog, release notes, and packaging metadata only; no code or version-string changes. CHANGELOG.md: backfill the operator-visible changes that landed since v0.3.0 (the show_metrics scraper query and fipsctl stats metrics, the discovery dedup-cache-full counter, the off-rx_loop control read surface and its new daemon-resolved fields, the fipstop TUI overhaul, the TCP inbound cap now honoring max_connections, host-map hot-reload, log-noise demotions, and the net bug fixes), topic-grouped rather than replayed per commit; intra-cycle fixes folded into their feature entries; the duplicate Unreleased Fixed section merged into one. Release notes: author docs/releases/release-notes-v0.4.0.md to the operator-upgrade bar and mirror it byte-for-byte into the root RELEASE-NOTES.md. Attribute each feature to its author in Contributors (Nym transport and the mixnet demo to @oleksky, opt-in mDNS LAN discovery to @mmalmi). README.md: add the Nym transport to the support matrix (Linux, macOS, Windows; OpenWrt pending verification), the multi-transport bullet, and the "What works today" list; fold mDNS LAN discovery into the existing Nostr-discovery bullets; refresh the status narrative to v0.4.0 over a global, public test mesh. packaging/common/fips.yaml: add commented Nym transport and mDNS LAN discovery example stanzas with verified field names and defaults. Cargo.toml: add homepage, keywords, and categories crate metadata. docs/reference: update the cli-fips version example to the released form; document the new control-socket output fields and the typed RejectReason families in control-socket.md; sync cli-fipstop.md with the overhauled TUI keybindings. |

docs: refresh tutorials, how-to, design, reference, and examples for v0.4.0
Pre-cut documentation pass for the 0.4.0 release, verified against current source. Corrections: - fipsctl: stale 'show identities'/'show node' -> 'show status' (host-a-service, run-as-unprivileged-user) - mesh address derivation: first 16 bytes of SHA-256(pubkey) with the leading byte set to 0xfd, not a fixed fd97: prefix (reach-mesh-services, ipv6-adapter-walkthrough) - gateway control socket mode 0660 -> 0770 (troubleshoot-gateway) - Tor example: add advertised_port: 8443 so the published port matches the prose (enable-nostr-discovery) - bloom mesh-size estimate rewritten to the OR-union-of-peer-filters algorithm; plus mtu deep-link, gateway pool wording, and a NAT failure-mode line - examples: delete orphaned nostr-rs-relay config, accept inbound to the local 8443 TCP listener, fix fd::/8 -> fd00::/8 typos, dotless wireguard alias Additions: - new Nym mixnet transport section (fips-transport-layer) and the architecture transport list - new LAN/mDNS discovery section (fips-nostr-discovery) - reference docs: Nym transport, LAN discovery, and new control/stats surfaces; drop ble from the connect transport list |

bloom: raise max_inbound_fpr antipoison cap from 0.05 to 0.10
The inbound FilterAnnounce FPR cap rejects filters whose false-positive rate (fill^k) exceeds the configured maximum. On the fixed 1 KB / k=5 filter, 0.05 corresponds to fill 0.549 (~1,300 reachable entries), and the busiest nodes' aggregates were beginning to hit that ceiling as the mesh grew. Raise the default to 0.10 (fill 0.631, ~1,630 entries) to restore headroom toward the fixed-filter capacity limit. A saturated or poisoned filter is ~100% FPR and remains rejected, so the antipoison gate is not materially weakened. Updates the config default, the config-reference and bloom-filter design docs, and the changelog. |

docs: reviewer feedback pass on Nostr-discovery surface
Walk through reviewer feedback on the Nostr-discovery docs and land 18 items. Bulk patterns: - `external_addr` / `public: true` semantics consistently misdescribed. The advert path is gated on `cfg.is_public()`; inside that branch the daemon picks an address by precedence (`external_addr`, non-wildcard `bind_addr`, STUN). The docs treated `public: true` and `external_addr` as alternatives when they are stacked: `public: true` is the master switch and `external_addr` populates the address inside it. Reconciled across `enable-nostr-discovery.md` and `advertise-your-node.md`: add `public: true` to the `external_addr` examples; replace "STUN as a logging cross-check" with "STUN is skipped entirely"; fix "neither flag is needed" for direct public bind (both flags still required); make the publish-tutorial Step 3 conditional on the chosen Step 2 path (STUN runs only on the `public: true` path); rewrite the troubleshooting "wrong public IP advertised" bullet with two coherent fixes. - `udp:nat` overpromised as a symmetric-NAT solution. Symmetric NAT on either side typically defeats the punch. Reframe `udp:nat` as best-effort hole-punching for nodes without a directly reachable UDP endpoint in the how-to, the publish tutorial (intro, callout, section heading rewrite from "If you're behind symmetric NAT" to "If your direct UDP advert isn't reachable"), the consume tutorial's "What's next" pointer, and `tutorials/README.md`. Promote reachability over named NAT classes: STUN can confirm the public IP but not that the listener-port mapping is open. - YAML "silently ignores unknown keys" is wrong. Config parser rejects unknown fields via `serde(deny_unknown_fields)` on the per-section structs; misspelled fields refuse the daemon's start with a parse-error line in the journal. Fixed in the publish tutorial's troubleshooting and the open-discovery tutorial's `policy` typo bullet. Mechanical fixes: - Repoint stale anchors. `getting-started.md` and `configuration.md` linked to `#installation` / `#inspect` on the README; the README has no such headings. Repoint to `#quick-start` and `cli-fipsctl.md`. Two stale anchors in the publish tutorial pointing at non-existent sub-scenarios in the how-to (`#sub-scenario-2c-...`, `#sub-scenario-2b-tor-onion-node`) repointed to the correct anchors. - Drop the `fipsctl show status` claim from the open-discovery troubleshooting bullet (`show_status` doesn't include `discovery.nostr.policy`). Replace with daemon startup logs. - Fix the `advertise: false` parenthetical in the consume-only tutorial (`default_advertise()` returns `true`; we set `false` explicitly for the consume-only path). - Drop the "supplies a relay list" overstatement in two activation paragraphs (the how-to and the design doc). Default relay / STUN-server lists ship in the config; both are optional overrides. - Add the missing `transports.udp.public` entry to the open-discovery tutorial's prerequisites checklist. Tutorial users coming out of advertise-your-node could be on either the direct-UDP (`public: true`) or `udp:nat` (`public: false`) path; list both. Files: docs/getting-started.md, docs/reference/configuration.md, docs/how-to/enable-nostr-discovery.md, docs/tutorials/README.md, docs/tutorials/advertise-your-node.md, docs/tutorials/resolve-peers-via-nostr.md, docs/tutorials/open-discovery.md, docs/design/fips-nostr-discovery.md. |

fipstop: add "Listening on fips0" panel to Node tab
Surfaces local services reachable from the mesh, paired with their
current `inet fips` baseline filter classification. Lands to the
right of the existing TUN section in the Traffic block.
A new daemon control query `show_listening_sockets` returns IPv6
listeners bound to either `::` (wildcard) or the node's fd00::/8
address, each classified as Accept / Drop / Unknown / NoFirewall
against the running inbound chain. fipstop renders the result as a
table beside the Traffic counters: Accept rows in default White,
Drop / Unknown in DarkGray, a yellow banner above the table when
`fips-firewall.service` is inactive, and a trailing `*` on
wildcard binds to remind the operator the bind is not
fips0-specific.
Daemon side:
- `src/control/listening.rs` walks `/proc/net/tcp6` and
`/proc/net/udp6` via the procfs crate (LISTEN state for TCP,
wildcard remote for UDP), filters to fips0-reachable binds, and
resolves inodes to PID / comm via `/proc/<pid>/fd`.
- `src/control/firewall_state.rs` shells out to
`nft -j list table inet fips` and walks the inbound chain.
Recognises canonical accepts (`tcp/udp dport N accept`,
`dport { ... } accept`, `dport A-B accept`), the iifname-scoping
line, conntrack and icmpv6 lines (skipped). Any rule with
unrecognised matchers (saddr filters, jumps, daddr filters) or
non-terminal verdicts forces Unknown classification for the
ports it references. Eleven unit tests cover the classification
logic; the listening enumerator carries a /proc-parsing test of
its own.
- `show_listening_sockets` emits
`{fips0_addr, firewall_active, sockets[]}` with per-row
`{proto, local_addr, port, pid, process, filter, wildcard_bind}`.
fipstop side:
- `src/bin/fipstop/ui/dashboard.rs` splits the Traffic block into
a 50/50 horizontal layout; the existing TUN + Forwarded panel
occupies the left half.
- `src/bin/fipstop/ui/listening.rs` renders the right half.
- `main.rs` fetches the new query each tick when the Node tab is
active. Errors are non-fatal: an old daemon without the query
leaves the payload at None and the panel renders "loading...".
`Cargo.toml` gains `procfs = "0.18"` on the Linux target. IPv4
listeners are not enumerated — fips0 is IPv6-only.
Folded in: revert the default-socket lookup from writability-probe
back to existence-based selection. The previous tempfile-probe on
`/run/fips` silently steered fipstop / fipsctl onto an XDG path
the daemon never bound for any user in the `fips` group whose
shell session had not yet picked up the supplementary group (no
re-login after `usermod -aG`). `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is set on every
modern systemd-managed user session, so this hit the common case.
The kernel checks actual group membership at `connect(2)`, so a
user who genuinely cannot connect now gets a clear `EACCES`
rather than a silent path mismatch. Drops the now-unused
`is_writable_dir` helper. `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` existence validation
is preserved.
Documentation:
- `docs/reference/cli-fipstop.md` — Node-tab row updated, new
"Listening on fips0 panel" section.
- `docs/reference/control-socket.md` — `show_listening_sockets`
added to the read-only queries table.
- `docs/how-to/enable-mesh-firewall.md` — new "Verify with
fipstop" section.
- `docs/tutorials/host-a-service.md` — fipstop callouts at
Steps 3, 5, 6 + Troubleshooting bullet + wildcard-bind reminder
under "What you've learned".
- `CHANGELOG.md` — new bullet under `Added / Operator Tooling`,
resolver `Fixed` entry rewritten to describe the
existence-based final shape.

gateway: change dns.listen default to [::1]:5353
The gateway is designed for systems already serving DHCP and DNS to a LAN segment (canonically an OpenWrt AP). On those systems port 53 is already taken by the existing resolver, so the prior `[::]:53` default conflicted with the gateway's intended deployment target out of the box. The OpenWrt ipk previously overrode this in its packaged config as a workaround; matching the source default to what the canonical deployment actually wants makes the override redundant and removes a foot-gun for fresh manual Linux-host installs. The redundant `dns.listen` line in `packaging/openwrt-ipk/files/etc/fips/fips.yaml` is dropped along with this change. Operators on a host without a pre-existing resolver on port 53 can opt back into the wildcard bind by setting `dns.listen: "[::]:53"` explicitly. The new default binds IPv6 loopback only — Linux IPv6 sockets bound to explicit `::1` do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so forwarders that reach the gateway over IPv4 loopback need to be pointed at an explicit IPv4 listen address instead. Touches the gateway config struct and its default-value test, the commented-out gateway example in the Debian common fips.yaml, the OpenWrt ipk config (override removed), the gateway reference / how-to / design / tutorial / troubleshoot docs, and a CHANGELOG entry under [Unreleased] -> Changed. |

docs: four-section /docs/ restructure with new-user content, accuracy pass, and gateway feature-set rewrite
Restructures /docs/ by reader purpose (tutorials, how-to, reference, design), adds the new-user-progression and operator-recipe content the prior layout lacked, runs an accuracy pass against current source across the pre-existing design docs, and rewrites the gateway feature-set documentation end-to-end around its actual operational profile (a niche feature designed for systems already serving DHCP/DNS to a LAN, with two independent halves — outbound LAN→mesh, inbound mesh→LAN — sharing one nftables table, one binary, and one control socket). Top-level README and getting-started rewritten around two equally-weighted deployment modes (overlay on existing IP networks; ground-up over non-IP transports). ## Additions - 11 new tutorials in docs/tutorials/: an 8-step new-user progression from single-daemon test-mesh peering through to a ground-up two-device mesh, an IPv6-adapter side-trip walkthrough, an Advanced Tutorials index, and a hand-held OpenWrt walk-through for fips-gateway deployment that exercises both halves of the feature. - 12 new how-tos in docs/how-to/: firewall activation, Nostr discovery (resolve / advertise / open across five scenarios), Tor onion (directory + control_port modes), UDP buffer tuning, unprivileged-user setup, persistent identity, host aliases, Bluetooth LE peering, MTU diagnostics, manual Linux-host gateway deployment (covers both halves), gateway troubleshooting (organised by half), and a section index. - 9 new reference docs in docs/reference/: configuration, wire formats, control-socket protocol, four CLI references (fips, fipsctl, fipstop, fips-gateway), security posture matrix, and Nostr events catalog. Configuration and wire-formats are renamed-and-extended from prior design/ versions; the other seven are net-new. - 6 new design docs: fips-concepts, fips-architecture, and fips-prior-work split out of the deleted fips-intro.md; consolidated fips-mmp and fips-mtu aggregations; and a new generic port-advertisement-and-nat-traversal doc (Nostr-signaled port advertisement plus UDP NAT-traversal protocol, FIPS as an example implementation, suitable for eventual NIP submission). - Top-level docs/getting-started.md walking through the binary-installer-only Install story. - packaging/common/hosts pre-populated with the eight public test-mesh nodes so shortnames resolve out of the box on every fresh install. ## Changes - 23 wire-format diagrams relocated to reference/diagrams/ alongside the wire-formats move. - 4 design diagrams corrected against source code (fips-protocol-stack, fips-identity-derivation, fips-coordinate-discovery, fips-routing-decision). - 10 pre-existing design docs reconciled with current source. Numeric corrections: stale link-MMP report bounds (now [1s, 5s] with 200 ms cold-start floor); UDP default MTU (now 1280, IPv6 minimum); node_addr formula (SHA-256(pubkey)[..16]); Noise patterns (IK at link, XK at session); peer-ACL semantics (strict allowlist requires ALL in peers.deny); daemon DNS upstream ([::1]:5354); on-the-wire bloom-filter size (1,071 bytes); obsolete Cargo-feature references (PR #79 dropped them) removed. - Transport framing tightened across the docs: TCP is for UDP-filtered networks (not NAT traversal); Tor is a deployment mode (not failover); WebSocket dropped (not a shipped FIPS transport); WiFi promoted to Implemented via Ethernet in infrastructure mode; classic-Bluetooth row removed (BLE is the only Bluetooth-mode transport). - docs/design/fips-gateway.md rewritten end-to-end to lead with the niche-feature framing and the two-halves structure. Title moved from "FIPS Outbound LAN Gateway" to "FIPS Gateway"; architecture section describes the common machinery (the fips-gateway service, the nftables table, the control socket) before splitting into separate "Outbound Half" and "Inbound Half" sections of equal weight; security considerations split per-half; no Future Work section (speculative directions live in the project tracker, not in protocol design docs). Inbound port forwarding is a first-class half rather than a buried "Implemented Extensions" subsection. - Gateway terminology unified across all gateway docs as a separate Linux service running alongside the fips daemon (its own systemd unit / OpenWrt init script). Container- pattern terms (sidecar) are reserved for the Docker/Kubernetes sidecar deployment examples — the testing/sidecar/ tree, examples/k8s-sidecar/, examples/sidecar-nostr-relay/, examples/wireguard-sidecar-macos/, and the related CHANGELOG / top-level README entries — where the term carries its standard container meaning. - Net-new design body content: rekey section in fips-mesh-layer (Noise IK msg1/msg2 over the established link, K-bit cutover, drain window, smaller-NodeAddr-wins tie-breaker on dual-init); Mesh Size Estimation and Antipoison FPR Cap sections in fips-bloom-filters; Mesh-Interface Query Filter subsection in fips-ipv6-adapter; failure-suppression knobs and clock- skew tolerance in fips-nostr-discovery; loop-rejection and mid-chain ancestor swap added to spanning-tree propagation / stability rules; Priority Chain in fips-mesh-operation renumbered to match the routing-decision diagram. - Top-level README: dropped the stale nostr-discovery cargo-feature parenthetical. docs/README.md and the four section READMEs (tutorials, how-to, reference, design) refreshed for the new structure; index rows reflect both halves of the gateway feature and the new fips-gateway CLI reference. - Cargo.toml [package.metadata.deb] assets path updated for the fips-security.md move; .gitignore /reference/ rule anchored to repo root so docs/reference/ is trackable. - packaging/openwrt-ipk/files/etc/fips/fips.yaml configuration-doc URL updated to the new docs/reference/configuration.md location. ## Deletions - docs/design/fips-intro.md (split into the three new intro design docs). - docs/design/document-relationships.svg (orphan, no longer referenced). - docs/proposals/ tree removed; the only proposal it contained (the Nostr UDP hole-punch protocol) was rewritten as the new generic design/port-advertisement-and-nat-traversal.md. |
