054d17aac5 feat(openwrt): 802.11s open-mesh backhaul support
Router-to-router radio backhaul over an open 802.11s mesh interface,
with FIPS providing all encryption (Noise IK), authentication, and
routing on top of bare L2 neighbor links. The mesh runs OPEN with
mesh_fwding 0 — SAE would duplicate the Noise layer and force ath10k
raw mode, and FIPS is the routing layer — so the Noise handshake is the
real auth/encryption boundary and FIPS's spanning tree does the routing.

fips-mesh-setup: an opt-in UCI helper that creates a per-radio
mesh-point interface (radio0 -> fips-mesh0, radio1 -> fips-mesh1;
trailing-digit derivation with a free-index fallback and a collision
guard). Radio setup stays opt-in — a package must not commandeer radios
on install. 'remove' takes an optional radio and otherwise removes all
instances. Dual-band routers get one instance per radio; FIPS treats the
two backhaul paths as failover, not multipath: it keeps one active link
per peer (cross-connection resolution picks a single winner), and the
second band stands by, re-establishing the peer after keepalive timeout —
traffic never uses both bands at once.

fips.yaml ships the mesh0/mesh1 Ethernet-transport entries commented
out, so a stock install that never creates fips-mesh* logs no per-boot
"interface missing" bind warning. fips-mesh-setup uncomments the matching
meshN block when it creates the interface and re-comments it on remove,
so the flash-and-drop-in flow needs no manual config edit. The file is
rewritten 0600-first (it may hold an inline nsec) via an atomic replace.

Two field-found silent non-peering causes are surfaced by the helper and
the guide:

- Same channel: mesh points only peer on a shared channel, and 'auto'
  lets each radio pick its own. The helper prints the radio's
  band/channel and warns loudly on 'auto' with the exact uci command to
  pin one; the how-to gains an ordered no-peers triage (channel mismatch,
  on-air scan check, DFS CAC wait, regdomain).
- STA channel capture: a client (sta) interface drags the whole radio to
  its upstream AP's channel, so a mesh pinned elsewhere never joins and
  does not recover until the STA disconnects. The helper warns when the
  target radio carries a STA; the guide documents the incompatibility of a
  roaming uplink with a fixed-channel mesh on the same radio.

Both the create and remove paths run 'wifi reload', which briefly drops
every client AP on all radios; the how-to sets that expectation.

Regression test: the shipped OpenWrt fips.yaml must parse via the real
Config deserializer in both states — as shipped (mesh inactive) and after
the uncomment the helper performs.

Packaging: the helper is installed across the ipk/apk/buildroot paths
(three synced copies), with the CI structural checks and shellcheck
targets extended to cover it. Full guide in
docs/how-to/set-up-80211s-mesh-backhaul.md.

cbc089b820 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.

3b401a0cbd Disambiguate the mesh-lookup "discovery" name across the source tree
The identifier "discovery" named three unrelated subsystems; the FMP
overlay coordinate-lookup subsystem is now consistently "lookup". This
finishes the concept-#1 rename across the shell, config, and metric
layers left after the earlier proto-layer rename:

- Handler module node::handlers::discovery -> node::handlers::lookup, and
  reset_discovery_backoff -> reset_lookup_backoff.
- The Node lookup-engine field Node.discovery -> Node.lookup, renamed by
  resolved binding so the metrics().discovery and node.discovery config
  paths are left untouched.
- The lookup metric types DiscoveryMetrics -> LookupMetrics,
  DiscoveryStatsSnapshot -> LookupStatsSnapshot, and Metrics.discovery ->
  Metrics.lookup.

Two surfaces cross a stability boundary and ship behind a compatibility
window, both marked in-code for removal at the v2 cutover:

- The control-socket metric family is dual-emitted under both "discovery"
  (deprecated alias) and "lookup" so existing dashboards keep working.
- The node.discovery.* config table is split into node.lookup.* (mesh
  lookup scalars) and node.rendezvous.* (nostr/lan peer rendezvous).
  NodeConfig does not deny unknown fields, so a naive rename would make a
  deployed node.discovery: block deserialize into nothing and silently
  revert every setting to default. A deprecated all-Option
  DiscoveryConfigCompat field captures a legacy block and a new post-parse
  Config::normalize_deprecated_keys pass folds it into the new tables with
  a one-time deprecation warning.

Flip the packaged fips.yaml templates to the new keys, add legacy/new/
scalar compat parse tests, and record the split and deprecations in the
CHANGELOG. Behavior-neutral; fmt/clippy clean, lib suite green.

22a5b3e5c6 packaging(openwrt): default .apk WAN port to DSA name 'wan'
The shared fips.yaml ships ethernet.wan.interface: "eth0", the default
WAN port on OpenWrt 24 and earlier. OpenWrt 25 (DSA) boards, which the
.apk package targets, name the WAN port "wan" instead. Rewrite the
staged copy at build time so the as-installed config binds the Ethernet
transport to the right port out of the box, without maintaining a second
copy of the config file. The .ipk package keeps "eth0".

Update the openwrt README to document eth0 (24) vs wan (25/DSA) and add
a CHANGELOG entry.

0f1fd18c25 packaging(openwrt): SDK-free .apk build for OpenWrt 25+ and control-socket fix
Add OpenWrt .apk packaging for OpenWrt 25+, where apk-tools is the
mandatory package manager. The existing .ipk continues to cover OpenWrt
24.x and earlier. Built SDK-free like the .ipk: it reuses the
cargo-zigbuild cross-compile and the shared installed-filesystem payload
under openwrt-ipk/files, and assembles the ADB container with the
official `apk mkpkg` applet from apk-tools 3.0.5 built from source, so no
OpenWrt SDK image is needed.

The package-openwrt workflow is refactored so a single compile-binaries
job cross-compiles and strips each arch once; both the .ipk and .apk
packagers consume the binaries via a new --bin-dir flag instead of each
recompiling. A build-apk job (aarch64, x86_64) builds apk-tools,
packages, and structurally verifies the .apk with `apk adbdump`. Releases
now publish .apk artifacts and checksums alongside .ipk; the release
download is scoped to fips_* so the shared raw-binary artifacts are not
swept into the published release. apk-version.sh maps a release tag or
commit height to an apk-tools-valid version, covered by a case-table test.
Packages are unsigned, installed with `apk add --allow-untrusted`,
matching the .ipk posture.

Also fix the OpenWrt control socket: the init script now pre-creates
/run/fips before starting the daemon, the procd equivalent of the systemd
unit's RuntimeDirectory=fips. Without it, on a fresh boot the daemon
resolves its control socket to /tmp (since /run/fips does not yet exist),
while fips-gateway later creates /run/fips for its own gateway.sock,
leaving fipsctl/fipstop resolving a /run/fips/control.sock the daemon
never bound.

3733349d33 packaging(nix): add a Nix flake for reproducible from-source builds
Add a flake that builds all four binaries (fips, fipsctl, fips-gateway,
fipstop) on Linux and macOS, pinning the exact toolchain from
rust-toolchain.toml (1.94.1 + rustfmt/clippy) via fenix so Nix builds
match CI and the AUR/Debian packaging.

Wire up the build-time native deps the source tree needs: pkg-config and
bindgenHook (libclang) for the rustables/libdbus-sys bindgen step, and
dbus for bluer's BLE support. autoPatchelfHook rewrites the binary RPATHs
so the daemon resolves libdbus-1.so.3 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the Nix store
at runtime — without it `fips` fails to load on NixOS, which has no global
/usr/lib.

Outputs: packages.{default,fips}, apps for each binary, checks.fips, and a
devShell with the pinned toolchain plus cargo-edit. Tests are skipped in
the package build since they exercise TUN devices, raw sockets, and mDNS
that aren't available in the sandbox, mirroring the AUR/Debian packaging.

Verified end-to-end in a pure Nix store (nixos/nix container): nix build,
nix flake check, and running all four binaries succeed against the
committed flake.lock.

Documented across the install and developer docs: a Nix / NixOS section in
packaging/README.md, the from-source guide in docs/getting-started.md
(noting the flake produces binaries only, with NixOS system integration
through the system configuration rather than the installer), the CHANGELOG,
README, CONTRIBUTING, and the v0.4.0 release notes.

759f199518 packaging(aur): add clang to makedepends for the libclang build dep
The fips build runs bindgen (via the rustables crate that powers the LAN
gateway's nftables bindings), which needs libclang.so at build time.
makepkg -s installs only declared makedepends, so without clang the AUR
build panics with "Unable to find libclang". Add clang to the makedepends
of both PKGBUILD and PKGBUILD-git so makepkg installs it and AUR users
get the dependency. Surfaced by the always-on aur-build CI job.

d3cf1d6f25 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.

3e0d9f5726 ci: build and lint the AUR package on every CI trigger
Run the AUR package through makepkg + namcap on the same triggers as the
other package workflows (pushes to master/maint/next, pull requests,
tags, and manual dispatch), so a broken PKGBUILD is caught continuously
rather than only at release time. The build runs in an Arch container
(makepkg/namcap are not on ubuntu-latest) and packages the checked-out
tree from a local git-archive tarball, so it works for branch/PR builds
and unreleased rc tags that have no published GitHub source archive yet.
makepkg runs with --nocheck since the test suite is already covered by
ci.yml; this job validates packaging.

Publishing to the AUR is unchanged in intent but now gated to a real
(non-prerelease) release tag push, plus the existing manual-dispatch
republish path for packaging-only pkgrel bumps; it depends on the build
job so a package that fails to build or lint is never published. Branch
pushes and pull requests build and lint but never publish.

The PKGBUILD-patching logic is factored into a shared
packaging/aur/patch-pkgbuild.sh used by both jobs; the build path
sanitizes the version for makepkg (which forbids '-' in pkgver).

03f7511a0e packaging: macOS resolver must point at ::1, not 127.0.0.1
Before bf77ece (Fix DNS responder silent-drop on systemd-resolved
deployments, 2026-04-29) the daemon defaulted dns.bind_addr to "::"
(wildcard, accepted v4 traffic too), so the macOS pkg's resolver shim
of `nameserver 127.0.0.1` reached the daemon fine over v4 loopback.

That commit tightened the default to "::1" — IPv6 loopback only,
which on Linux/macOS does not accept v4-mapped traffic — to defuse a
mesh-interface filter / IPV6_PKTINFO bug that was silently dropping
.fips queries on systemd-resolved hosts. The Linux side was updated
in the same commit: fips-dns-setup now writes [::1]:5354 in every
backend, and the gateway's DEFAULT_DNS_UPSTREAM moved to [::1]:5354
with an inline comment about the v4/v6 mismatch.

The macOS resolver shim in packaging/macos/build-pkg.sh was missed in
that sweep. Since 2026-04-29, every macOS install has shipped
/etc/resolver/fips with `nameserver 127.0.0.1` while the daemon
listened on `::1`, so .fips hostnames don't resolve via getaddrinfo
(ping6, curl, etc.) even though `dig @::1 -p 5354 …` works.

The mismatch is easy to miss: mDNSResponder swallows the timeout,
VPN clients that hijack DNS (NetworkExtension match-domain : *) mask
it entirely, and the symptom looks like "discovery hasn't found the
peer yet". Switch the shim to nameserver ::1 to match the daemon.

86c043cc94 docs: document libclang-dev as a mandatory Linux build prerequisite
Linux source builds pull in rustables, whose build script runs bindgen
to generate nftables bindings for the LAN gateway. bindgen needs
libclang.so on the build host, so a clean source build fails with
'Unable to find libclang' unless libclang-dev (or llvm) is installed.

The prerequisite text in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md previously
listed only the optional BLE dependencies, and packaging/README.md had
no source-build prerequisite list at all. Document libclang-dev as a
mandatory Linux build dependency, distinct from the optional BLE deps,
and note that it is build-time only so pre-built .deb installs are
unaffected.

8fd515e81f packaging: ship fips.yaml as an example, not a dpkg conf-file
Installing /etc/fips/fips.yaml as a live dpkg conf-file collides with a
configuration-management-rendered or operator-edited config on upgrade:
dpkg either prompts interactively (keep/replace), stalling unattended
upgrades, or clobbers the local file. Ship the default config as
/usr/share/doc/fips/fips.yaml.example (mode 644) and drop it from
conf-files. postinst now seeds /etc/fips/fips.yaml from the example only
when it does not already exist (mode 600), yielding to any existing
config without a prompt or clobber. Add ConditionPathExists for the
config to the service unit so a missing config skips the unit cleanly
rather than crash-looping.

7a1365fb9e aur: install fips-dns helpers, fix fips/fips-git package transition
The AUR `fips` and `fips-git` packages did not install the
`fips-dns-setup` and `fips-dns-teardown` helper scripts that
`fips-dns.service` runs. The Debian package ships them to
`/usr/lib/fips/` through the `[package.metadata.deb]` assets, but the
AUR `package()` functions never replicated those install steps, so
`fips-dns.service` failed to start on Arch with "Unable to locate
executable /usr/lib/fips/fips-dns-setup".

Add the two `install -Dm0755` lines to both PKGBUILDs so the AUR
packages match the Debian layout.

Also harden the transition between the `fips` and `fips-git`
packages: each PKGBUILD now declares the other variant's `-debug`
split package as a conflict and opts out of the debug split, so a
stale debug build cannot retain ownership of installed files when
switching between the release and VCS packages. The `aur-publish`
workflow gains a validated `pkgrel` dispatch input so corrected
packaging can be republished against an existing release tag without
retagging.

Fixes #98

57a089f6c3 macos package: derive package arch from the build target
The published v0.3.0 macOS installer is a structurally corrupt xar
archive: pkgutil and xar reject it even though its SHA-256 matches the
published checksum.

build-pkg.sh derived the architecture suffix in the .pkg filename from
`uname -m`. On the Apple-silicon macOS runner that always reports
arm64, so the cross-compiled x86_64 build also named its output
fips-<version>-macos-arm64.pkg. The release job downloads both build
artifacts with merge-multiple into one directory, where the two
identically named files collide and tear into a malformed result. The
x86_64 package never reaches the release at all.

Derive the package architecture from the Rust target triple, which is
authoritative for cross-compiles, instead of from the build host. Each
matrix leg now produces a distinctly named, arch-correct package, so
the two artifacts no longer collide.

Add a SHA-256 integrity chain so a corrupt or mismatched asset cannot
be published again:

- Capture the .pkg SHA-256 on the macOS runner, after the on-runner
  structural verification, into a sidecar file carried in the artifact.
- Add a verify-handoff job that runs on every trigger and asserts each
  downloaded .pkg still matches its macOS-runner SHA-256.
- Gate the release job on verify-handoff and repeat the check on the
  exact bytes about to be published.

The build step now asserts it produced the expected arch-named package
so a regression in the naming fails loudly rather than as a silent
collision.

Relates to #102. The published v0.3.0 macOS assets still need to be
rebuilt and reuploaded separately.

733ee512d3 chore: replace real IPs in docs and configs with placeholders
Operator-facing IPs in user-visible configs/docs (examples, tutorials,
packaging, sidecar templates) are now the resolvable hostnames of the
public test fleet (test-us01.fips.network, etc.) so they keep working
without baking specific addresses into examples.

Doc-comment and test fixtures in src/config/transport.rs use RFC 5737
TEST-NET-2 (198.51.100.1) so they cannot accidentally point at a real
host.

Also resyncs the openwrt-ipk fips.yaml with the common reference
(merge from master) and applies the same DNS-name swap there.

b6bd28f77c openwrt: resync /etc/fips/fips.yaml with common reference
Bring the OpenWrt-shipped fips.yaml back into line with
packaging/common/fips.yaml, which had drifted: the OpenWrt copy was
missing the Nostr discovery, BLE, and TCP reference comment blocks, so
operators had no in-config hint that Nostr-mediated discovery existed.

Take common/fips.yaml verbatim and apply just the OpenWrt-specific
active overrides:
  - ethernet: uncomment with wan/wwan/lan defaults (eth0, phy0-sta0,
    br-lan)
  - gateway: uncomment with lan_interface=br-lan and dns.listen on
    [::1]:5353 (matches the dnsmasq forwarder the init script wires up)

Identity stays ephemeral by default (no persistent override), matching
common.

eaba693b18 packaging: bring systemd tarball to feature parity with .deb / AUR
The generic systemd install tarball is the catch-all install path
for systemd Linux distros that don't have a per-format package
(Fedora, RHEL/CentOS, openSUSE, Alpine, etc.). It had drifted
behind the .deb and AUR packages and was missing fips-gateway, the
mesh-interface firewall baseline, and the multi-backend DNS helper
in the shipped tarball. Bring it to parity:

- New `packaging/systemd/fips-gateway.service` (clone of the .deb
  unit; ExecStart pointed at `/usr/local/bin/fips-gateway`). Not
  enabled at install time; operator opt-in.
- New `packaging/systemd/fips-firewall.service` (clone of the .deb
  unit; nft path unchanged at `/usr/sbin/nft`). Not enabled at
  install time; operator opt-in.
- `build-tarball.sh` now bundles the `fips-gateway` binary, the two
  new units, the `fips.nft` baseline conffile, and the
  `fips-dns-setup` / `fips-dns-teardown` multi-backend helpers from
  `packaging/common/`.
- `install.sh` now installs `fips-gateway` to `/usr/local/bin/`,
  installs both new units to `/etc/systemd/system/` (without
  enabling them), preserves `/etc/fips/fips.nft` on upgrade like
  `fips.yaml`, and creates the `/etc/fips/fips.d/` operator drop-in
  directory. Post-install messaging mentions both opt-in services.
- `uninstall.sh` stops and disables the optional services in
  dependency order (firewall, gateway, dns, daemon), removes the
  new unit files, and removes the gateway binary. `--purge` already
  handles `/etc/fips/` removal which covers `fips.nft` and
  `fips.d/`.
- `README.install.md` documents all of the above: expanded
  "What Gets Installed" table, new sections covering the firewall
  baseline and the LAN gateway, refreshed DNS section reflecting
  the multi-backend setup helper (systemd dns-delegate /
  systemd-resolved drop-in / per-link resolvectl / dnsmasq /
  NetworkManager-dnsmasq), and updated Service Management.

Also fixes a latent packaging bug: `install.sh` previously
referenced `${SCRIPT_DIR}/../common/fips-dns-setup`, a path that
exists only in the source-repo layout and not in the extracted
tarball. The script now resolves the helper from the staging
directory first (the tarball case), falling back to the source-repo
relative path. Bug latent since the multi-backend DNS helpers
landed.

CHANGELOG `[Unreleased]` documents the parity bump under Changed
and the path-resolution fix under Fixed.

Closes the longest-standing parity gap for non-Debian / non-Arch
systemd Linux distros installing from the release-distribution
tarball.

d52d7debb7 aur: bring AUR packaging to .deb parity
Three changes folded together close the AUR-side parity gap with the
.deb packaging:

- PKGBUILD now ships fips.nft baseline and fips-firewall.service, with
  fips.nft marked as backup so operator edits survive upgrades.
- PKGBUILD-git mirrors the release PKGBUILD: installs fips-gateway
  (was missing entirely), ships fips.nft and fips-firewall.service,
  and tracks the same backup() set.
- packaging/aur/README.md documents the gateway, firewall service,
  and nft baseline that ship as of this revision.

AUR users now receive the same artifact set as .deb users.

7daca6bcf1 packaging: refresh OpenWrt ipk README
Bring the packaging README into agreement with what the ipk actually
installs and the CLI surface fipsctl exposes today:

- Package contents table now lists /usr/bin/fips-gateway,
  /etc/init.d/fips-gateway, and /etc/sysctl.d/fips-gateway.conf
  alongside the daemon. These have been part of the install block
  but were missing from the README.
- fipsctl examples updated to the current command form
  (fipsctl show peers / show links / show sessions in place of the
  removed shorthands), with a pointer to the canonical CLI reference.
- Service management section gains a short subsection covering the
  optional gateway service, including the enable/start incantation
  and a link to the deploy-fips-gateway tutorial.

0fcf0f6f8f 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.

5abf9a9325 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.

ff40966832 Add PowerShell lint job for packaging/windows scripts
Add windows-lint job to .github/workflows/ci.yml running
PSScriptAnalyzer against the three operator-facing PowerShell scripts
(build-zip.ps1, install-service.ps1, uninstall-service.ps1) on the
windows-latest runner. Job runs in parallel with build/test, no
needs:, no tag gating.

Also add packaging/windows/PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 with two
project-appropriate suppressions:

  PSAvoidUsingWriteHost — operator-facing progress in all three
    scripts is intentional; Write-Output would conflate progress
    with return value.
  PSAvoidUsingPositionalParameters — Copy-Item src dst / New-Item
    -Path style positional usage is widespread for cp/mv-like
    readability.

Severity = @('Error', 'Warning') gates CI on Warnings+ only,
skipping Information-only findings.

The lint job lives in ci.yml rather than package-windows.yml: keeps
the packaging workflow focused, avoids interleaving with the
structural-verification steps in package-windows.yml, and the lint
runs on every push (not just tags).

e641eb5b5f Drop the nostr-discovery cargo feature flag
Make Nostr-mediated overlay discovery unconditional, mirroring the
philosophy of PR #79's collapse of the tui/ble/gateway features in
favor of platform cfg gates. nostr / nostr-sdk are pure Rust over
WebSockets/TCP, so they build cleanly on every FIPS-supported
platform — there is no need for the parallel feature gate.

The flag was already in `default = [...]`, so no behavior change for
anyone using `cargo build` without `--no-default-features`. Operators
who explicitly disabled the feature will now find Nostr code present
in the binary; the runtime check `node.discovery.nostr.enabled` still
controls whether the runtime starts.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove the `[features]` table entirely.
- Drop `optional = true` from `nostr` and `nostr-sdk`.

Source: 27 cfg sites collapsed across 5 files —
`src/discovery.rs`, `src/discovery/nostr/mod.rs`,
`src/node/handlers/rx_loop.rs`, `src/node/lifecycle.rs`,
`src/node/mod.rs`. Two `#[cfg(not(feature = "nostr-discovery"))]`
fallback blocks (the udp:nat-without-runtime debug-log path and the
"feature not compiled in" warning at startup) were removed as dead
code; the always-on path already handles the missing-runtime case
via `nostr_discovery: Option<NostrDiscovery>`.

Packaging and tooling:
- `packaging/openwrt-ipk/Makefile`: drop a stale `--features gateway`
  flag (the `gateway` feature was already removed in PR #79; this
  was a leftover that the build path tolerated only because cargo
  ignored unknown feature names).
- `testing/scripts/build.sh`: drop `DEFAULT_CARGO_BUILD_ARGS=(--features
  nostr-discovery)`; defaults are empty.
- `packaging/common/fips.yaml`: drop the "requires the
  nostr-discovery feature" comment from the discovery section.

Bundled cleanup:
- Apply `cargo clippy --fix` against three pre-existing warnings in
  `src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs` and `src/discovery/nostr/stun.rs`
  (collapsed `if let Some` chain; two redundant `as i32` casts).
  These were always present but masked when the feature gate was
  off; they surface now that the code is unconditionally compiled.
- `cargo fmt` settled two minor formatting drift sites in
  `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs` and `src/config/mod.rs`.

Tests: 1083 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored. clippy clean. fmt clean.

37c2973e2f Test infrastructure overhaul: gateway robustness + full CI coverage
Single combined commit covering five interlocking pieces of test and
CI work that landed during the v0.3.0-prep cycle.

## fips-gateway robustness

- src/bin/fips-gateway.rs DNS upstream probe converted from a 3-second
  hard-fail to a bounded retry loop (5 attempts × 1s timeout, 1s sleep
  between attempts; ~10s worst case). Covers the cold-boot race where
  the daemon's TUN is up but the DNS responder at [::1]:5354 is still
  binding. Each failed attempt logs at INFO. In production the binary's
  retry is the live recovery mechanism; with retry it recovers silently
  instead of relying on Restart=on-failure (~5s blip + spurious ERROR
  per cycle).
- packaging/debian/fips-gateway.service `ExecStartPre` now waits up to
  30 seconds for the daemon's `fips0` TUN to appear before exec'ing
  the gateway binary. Eliminates the cold-boot race where the gateway
  exits with `fips0 interface not found` and recovers via
  `Restart=on-failure`, producing a 5-second blip and a spurious error
  log per restart cycle.
- testing/docker/entrypoint.sh gateway-mode waits up to 30s for the
  daemon's DNS responder to bind [::1]:5354 (probes once per second
  with `dig @::1 -p 5354 ... test.fips`) before exec'ing fips-gateway.
  Belt-and-suspenders with the binary's own retry: in CI we want
  deterministic startup ordering. On timeout, fall through so the
  binary's probe reports the definitive error.

## Test infrastructure DNS bind migration to ::1

After session 359's daemon DNS-bind default flipped from `127.0.0.1`
to `::1` (the production fix for ISSUE-2026-0002), the static-test
infrastructure was carrying a stale workaround that overrode the
default back to IPv4 loopback. The fips-gateway integration test
exposed the divergence: the gateway probes its DNS upstream at
`[::1]:5354` (production default) while the daemon was binding
`127.0.0.1:5354` from the template override — IPv6-explicit sockets
do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so the upstream probe exhausted
retries and the gateway exited.

- Drop the explicit `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` line from every test
  config that emits it: testing/static/configs/node.template.yaml,
  testing/chaos/configs/node.template.yaml, the sidecar heredoc in
  testing/docker/entrypoint.sh, testing/acl-allowlist/generate-configs.sh
  (six per-node blocks), testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh, and
  the four tor templates under testing/tor/. Daemon picks up its
  production `::1` default.
- Flip the dnsmasq forwarder for `.fips` in testing/docker/Dockerfile
  from `127.0.0.1#5354` to `::1#5354` so dnsmasq on the shared test
  image continues to reach the daemon. Template and Dockerfile must
  move together since most static suites resolve `<npub>.fips` via
  the test-image dnsmasq.

## rekey-accept-off integration variant + UDP unit test

- New `rekey-accept-off` topology and docker-compose profile under
  testing/static/. 2-node variant where node-b runs with
  `udp.accept_connections: false`. Pins the regression class that
  ISSUE-2026-0004 fixed (cross-connection winner's rekey msg1 was
  being filtered by the accept_connections gate, breaking rekey).
- testing/static/scripts/rekey-test.sh accepts REKEY_TOPOLOGY and
  REKEY_ACCEPT_OFF_NODES env vars; its inject-config subcommand
  applies the per-node `udp.accept_connections: false` edit, and
  the test asserts no sustained "Dual rekey initiation" log lines.
- New UDP variant of `should_admit_msg1` admit-rekey unit test in
  src/node/tests/handshake.rs.

## ci-local.sh full integration coverage

- New runner functions and dispatcher entries for `acl-allowlist`,
  `nat-cone` / `nat-symmetric` / `nat-lan`, `rekey-accept-off`,
  `dns-resolver`, `deb-install`. Each integrates with the existing
  summary tracking via `record`.
- New `--with-tor` flag (off by default) gates `tor-socks5-outbound`
  and `tor-directory-mode` runners. Tor stays opt-in because both
  harnesses depend on the live Tor network and would introduce a
  flake source unrelated to the FIPS code.
- New suite arrays (`ACL_SUITES`, `NAT_SUITES`, `DNS_RESOLVER_SUITES`,
  `DEB_INSTALL_SUITES`, `TOR_SUITES`) drive both the default sweep
  and `--list` output.
- `run_suite` extended to accept the new suite names for `--only`
  invocations.

## GitHub CI matrix expansions

- `gateway` matrix entry runs testing/static/scripts/gateway-test.sh
  against the existing docker-compose `gateway` profile.
- `rekey-accept-off` matrix entry exercises the new topology with
  REKEY_ACCEPT_OFF_NODES=b.
- `deb-install` matrix (debian12 + ubuntu24 + ubuntu26) runs
  testing/deb-install/test.sh with privileged systemd containers.
  ~5-7 min cold cache, ~2 min warm per distro. Self-contained: builds
  its own .deb in a Debian 12 cargo-deb builder image; does not
  depend on the build job's pre-built artifact.
- `dns-resolver` matrix entry runs the full 13-scenario harness
  (per-distro systemd resolver-backend tests + real-fips end-to-end
  scenarios) in a single job. Pins the production DNS bind path that
  ISSUE-2026-0002 lived in. ~7-12 min warm, ~12-15 min cold.

Verified locally: full `bash testing/ci-local.sh` sweep passes,
including 5/5 deb-install distros and all 13 dns-resolver scenarios.
Tor-inclusive sweep (`--with-tor`) verified in a follow-up run.

674c7fe1ff UDP transport: outbound_only mode, accept_connections, loopback validation
Three related UDP transport changes that together close a real gap in
the v0.2.x "this transport accepts inbound" assumption:

- outbound_only (default false). When true, the transport binds a
  kernel-assigned ephemeral port (0.0.0.0:0) regardless of the
  configured bind_addr, refuses inbound handshakes (Transport trait's
  accept_connections() returns false), and is never advertised on
  Nostr regardless of advertise_on_nostr. Lets a node participate in
  the mesh as a pure client — initiate outbound links without
  exposing an inbound listener on a known port. Also closes the
  "loopback bind as outbound-only workaround" trap: a UDP socket
  bound to 127.0.0.1 pins 127.0.0.1 as the source IP on outbound
  packets, and Linux refuses to deliver such packets out an external
  interface — the daemon happily reports "transport started" while
  no flow ever reaches an external peer.

- accept_connections (default true). Mirrors the existing
  Ethernet/BLE knob. Lets operators run UDP in a "client" posture
  (initiate outbound, refuse inbound msg1 from new addresses) without
  switching transport. The Node-level handshake gate already carves
  out msg1 from peers established on the transport so rekey works
  on existing sessions.

- Startup validation: reject `transports.udp[*].bind_addr` set to a
  loopback address (127.x.x.x, ::1, localhost) when at least one peer
  has a non-loopback UDP address. Replaces the silent "peer link
  won't establish" failure mode with a clear error pointing at the
  bind misconfiguration. outbound_only is exempt (it overrides
  bind_addr to 0.0.0.0:0).

The is_punch_packet-based filter from the previous commit, the
Node-level admission gate landed earlier on master, and these new
config fields together cover the three distinct ways the v0.2.x
"this transport accepts inbound" assumption could break.

Tests: validation truth table (loopback+external rejected,
loopback+loopback ok, outbound_only exempt), is_loopback_addr_str
helper, accept_connections wiring (default, explicit-false,
outbound_only-forces-false), end-to-end ephemeral-bind in the runtime.
1082 tests pass with --features nostr-discovery.

23c6609a6e Ship fips0 nftables security baseline (Linux)
Add a default-deny nftables ruleset for the fips0 mesh interface as
a packaged operator asset, with a companion fips-firewall.service
oneshot unit for systemd hosts. Both are shipped disabled — the
baseline is an operator conffile and the unit is intentionally not
enabled in postinst. Activation is an explicit one-liner:

  sudo systemctl enable --now fips-firewall.service

This is deliberate: silently mutating host firewall state on package
install is hostile across the axes that matter (collisions with
existing operator nftables / Docker / OPNsense rulesets, surprise
behaviour for hosts that already filter elsewhere, conversion of an
explicit security decision into an invisible one). The opt-in
posture preserves operator agency.

The baseline closes a real default-exposure gap: any service on a
mesh host bound to a wildcard address (0.0.0.0 or [::]) is
reachable from every authenticated peer in the mesh by default.
Identity on the mesh is the peer's npub but identity is not
authorization, and the mesh is closer to a shared LAN than to the
public internet. With this filter loaded, the surface is closed
unless a drop-in opens it explicitly.

Baseline shape:
- Early-return for non-fips0 traffic (every other firewall left
  undisturbed)
- conntrack established/related accept (replies to outbound flows)
- ICMPv6 echo-request accept (ping6 reachability)
- include "/etc/fips/fips.d/*.nft" — operator-supplied allowances
- counter drop default

The accompanying docs/fips-security.md lays out the threat model
(npub-authenticated mesh is closer to a shared LAN than to the
public internet — identity is not authorization), the activation
workflow, drop-in extension recipes (allow inbound SSH from a
specific peer fd97:.../128, allow HTTP from one /64, etc), drop
visibility / debugging via the journal log rule and the drop
counter, coexistence with the runtime-managed `inet fips_gateway`
table, what the baseline does NOT cover (outbound, application
auth, mesh handshake ACL = PR #50 / IDEA-0047 territory), and
future cross-OS work (macOS PF baseline, OpenWrt fw4, gateway
abstraction).

Packaging:
- packaging/common/fips.nft       → /etc/fips/fips.nft (conffile)
- packaging/debian/fips-firewall.service → /lib/systemd/system/
- docs/fips-security.md           → /usr/share/doc/fips/
- postinst creates /etc/fips/fips.d/ (mode 0755) on configure
- prerm stops/disables fips-firewall.service on remove/purge

OpenWrt fw4 path and macOS PF baseline are deferred — separate
asymmetries, separate work.

c8502cdb97 Auto-derive per-commit Debian Version for dev builds
Inject git date + short SHA into the Debian Version field when
Cargo.toml's crate version ends in -dev, so apt-based upgrade
detection works without operator workarounds. Form:
  <base>~dev+git<YYYYMMDD>.<sha>[.dirty]-1
e.g. 0.3.0~dev+git20260429.6def31b-1.

Each commit produces a uniquely-comparable Version, so
`apt install ./*.deb` and `ansible.builtin.apt: deb:` stop
silently no-op'ing when one dev .deb is installed on top of
another. The ~dev marker sorts pre-tagged-release so 0.3.0
supersedes any prior dev .deb. Tagged builds (Cargo.toml without
-dev) keep the clean <version>-1 form. --version override still
wins.

Note: legacy 0.3.0-dev-1 dev installs sort ABOVE the new form;
hosts upgrading from a legacy install will need `dpkg -i` once
on the next dev .deb to bypass apt's downgrade refusal.

bf77ececad Fix DNS responder silent-drop on systemd-resolved deployments
The previous default configured systemd-resolved with `resolvectl dns
fips0 [<fips0_addr>]:5354`, intended to bypass an Ubuntu 22 systemd 249
interface-scoping bug. That target collides with the daemon's
mesh-interface filter on Linux: when an IPv6 packet's destination
belongs to a non-loopback interface, the kernel attributes the packet
to that interface in IPV6_PKTINFO (ipi6_ifindex == fips0) even though
loopback delivery is used (tcpdump shows lo). The mesh-interface filter
sees arrival_ifindex == mesh_ifindex and silently drops every query at
trace level — invisible to operators at the default debug level.

Net effect on stock deployments: every .fips query on systemd-resolved
hosts was silently dropped.

Daemon side
-----------

- Default `dns.bind_addr` changes from "::" to "::1" (IPv6 loopback
  only). The mesh-interface filter is then defanged on the default
  path because loopback isn't reachable from mesh peers. The filter
  remains in place defensively for operators who explicitly bind "::"
  to expose a mesh-reachable responder.

fips-dns-setup backend unification
----------------------------------

- New `try_global_drop_in` backend writes
  /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/fips.conf with DNS=[::1]:5354 and
  Domains=~fips. Inserted ahead of `try_resolvectl` in the dispatch
  chain. The standard loopback path has no interface scoping, so
  ipi6_ifindex reports lo and the filter passes.
- All other backends now target [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's
  default IPv6-loopback bind:
  - try_dns_delegate writes DNS=[::1]:5354
  - try_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
  - try_nm_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
- Fixed dns-delegate file path: was /etc/systemd/dns-delegate/, must
  be /etc/systemd/dns-delegate.d/ (with .d suffix). systemd-resolved
  silently ignored the previous path.
- fips-dns-teardown handles the new global-drop-in backend in cleanup.
- The legacy resolvectl per-link backend stays as a fallback,
  documented to require careful daemon bind_addr coordination.

fips-gateway upstream pairing
-----------------------------

- gateway.dns.upstream default changes from 127.0.0.1:5354 to
  [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's default bind. Linux IPv6 sockets
  bound to explicit ::1 do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so the old
  default would have caused the gateway's startup DNS reachability
  probe to time out and systemd to restart-loop the service.
- Operators who set a non-default daemon `dns.bind_addr` must also
  set `gateway.dns.upstream` to match — documented inline.

Documentation
-------------

- packaging/common/fips.yaml and packaging/openwrt-ipk fips.yaml
  examples updated; rationale for the bind_addr choice and the
  daemon/gateway pairing recorded inline.

Test coverage
-------------

- testing/dns-resolver/test.sh: real-fipsd end-to-end scenario added.
  Builds fipsd in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), runs the daemon
  with a real TUN in a privileged container, configures DNS via the
  setup script, and asserts `dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips` returns
  AAAA. Refactored as a parameterized helper running across Debian
  12/13 and Ubuntu 22/24/26 (5 e2e scenarios). Backend-aware
  assertions: on systemd >= 258 the expected backend is dns-delegate;
  on older systemd it's global-drop-in. Strict content checks fail CI
  on any [::1]:5354 drift. fips-gateway also exercised in the
  debian12 scenario to lock the gateway-upstream pairing. Renamed all
  "fipsd" references to "fips" (project convention).

- testing/deb-install/ (new harness): builds the actual .deb via
  cargo-deb in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), installs via apt
  across each target distro, verifies maintainer scripts, conffile
  placement, binary placement, and end-to-end .fips resolution after
  start. Also exercises fips-gateway against the installed daemon to
  verify the gateway/daemon default pairing on a real .deb path.

- This is the test layer that was missing — the previous harness only
  verified config files were written, never that queries reached the
  daemon.

Verified: dns-resolver 78/78 assertions, deb-install 55/55 assertions
across all 5 distros (debian:12, debian:trixie, ubuntu:22.04,
ubuntu:24.04, ubuntu:26.04).

34e00b9f6e Add Nostr-mediated overlay discovery and UDP NAT traversal (#53)
Optional peer discovery and NAT hole-punching path gated behind a new
`nostr-discovery` cargo feature. Nodes publish signed overlay endpoint
adverts to public Nostr relays, consume peer adverts to populate
fallback dial addresses, and use STUN-assisted UDP hole punching with
NIP-59 gift-wrap offer/answer signaling to establish direct UDP paths
between NATed peers. Once a punched socket is up, it is handed into
the existing FIPS UDP transport and the standard Noise/FMP session
stack takes over unchanged.

The cargo feature is in the default feature set
(`default = ["nostr-discovery"]`) so stock builds include it; a
build that explicitly disables default features (or selects a
feature set without `nostr-discovery`) does not link the nostr /
nostr-sdk crates and does not emit a no-op poll in the tick loop.
Runtime behavior is independently gated by
`node.discovery.nostr.enabled`, which defaults to false; if the
config enables Nostr on a non-feature build, startup logs a
warning and continues without it.

== Cargo feature and dependencies

- New cargo feature `nostr-discovery = ["dep:nostr", "dep:nostr-sdk"]`.
  Not in the default feature set.
- New optional Linux-only dependencies: `nostr 0.44` (features: std,
  nip59) and `nostr-sdk 0.44`. Gift-wrap unwrap is hand-rolled in
  `src/discovery/nostr/signal.rs` rather than relying on the SDK's
  rumor-author check, which FIPS sidesteps by trusting `seal.pubkey`
  exclusively.

== Wire format

Overlay advert event: `kind 37195`, parameterized replaceable
(NIP-01 application-defined replaceable range 30000-39999), with
`d = "fips-overlay-v1"`. The digits visually spell FIPS (7=F, 1=I,
9=P, 5=S); a relay survey confirmed the kind is unused.

Advert content carries the version tag, endpoint list
(`udp|tcp|tor` + addr), optional signal-relay and stun-server
metadata, and `issuedAt` / `expiresAt` timestamps. Endpoint
`addr: "nat"` is the sentinel that triggers traversal on the peer
side. NIP-40 `expiration` tag bounds staleness on permanent
shutdown. Lifecycle relies on parameterized-replaceable
supersession; the daemon does not emit NIP-09 kind-5 deletes —
strict relays (Damus, Primal) race delete-against-replace and can
silently drop the replacement.

Gift-wrapped signal event: `kind 21059`. Punch packets carry magic
values `PUNCH_MAGIC` / `PUNCH_ACK_MAGIC`, a sequence number, and a
16-byte session hash.

== Discovery surface

- `src/discovery.rs` (always compiled)
  - `EstablishedTraversal`: bound UDP socket + selected remote +
    peer npub + optional transport name/config tuning overrides.
  - `BootstrapHandoffResult`: returned on successful handoff —
    allocated transport id, local/remote addrs, peer NodeAddr,
    session id.
- `src/discovery/nostr/` (`#![cfg(feature = "nostr-discovery")]`)
  - `types.rs`: wire and control types described above. `ADVERT_KIND`
    constant. `BootstrapError` enumerates failure modes (disabled,
    missing advert, missing NAT endpoint, no usable relays, invalid
    advert, invalid npub, signal timeout, punch timeout, replay,
    STUN failure, protocol, nostr, io, serde, event-parse).
  - `runtime.rs`: `NostrDiscovery` coordinator. Owns the shared
    nostr-sdk `Client`, subscribes to advert + signal event kinds,
    maintains a bounded advert cache and a bounded seen-sessions
    replay set, drains `BootstrapEvent::{Established, Failed}` for
    the node to consume, exposes `update_local_advert`,
    `request_connect`, `advert_endpoints_for_peer`,
    `cached_open_discovery_candidates`, and `shutdown`.
  - `signal.rs`: NIP-59 gift-wrap encode/decode. Outbound wraps are
    built against per-attempt ephemeral keys; inbound events are
    unwrapped against the node identity.
  - `stun.rs`: RFC 5389/8489 Binding Request client with
    XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS parsing for both IPv4 and IPv6; used only to
    observe the initiator's own reflexive address against its
    locally configured STUN list (peer-advertised STUN is
    informational, never an egress target).
  - `traversal.rs`: per-attempt candidate-pair punch planner.
    Allocates a fresh `0.0.0.0:0` UDP socket per attempt, enumerates
    LAN-private and ULA interface addresses alongside the STUN
    reflexive address, schedules probe/ack exchanges at the
    configured interval for the configured duration, and picks the
    first candidate pair that authenticates end-to-end.

Strategy ordering is Reflexive↔Reflexive first, then LAN, then
Mixed. The STUN-observed pair is the only candidate that's reliable
across arbitrary network topologies; trying it first prevents the
planner from latching onto a misleading host-candidate path before
the reflexive path gets a chance. There is no catch-all
Local↔Local strategy: a previous design that paired every local
host candidate from one side with every local host candidate from
the other could declare success on a one-way reachable asymmetric
L3 path (corporate VPN, Tailscale subnet route, overlapping private
address space), only for the FMP handshake to stall because the
return path didn't match. The legitimate `Lan` strategy still pairs
candidates that share a subnet.

== Configuration surface

`node.discovery.nostr.*` (`NostrDiscoveryConfig`), all `serde(default)`
with `deny_unknown_fields`:

- `enabled` (default false), `advertise` (default true)
- `advert_relays`, `dm_relays`, `stun_servers`: defaults are
  `wss://relay.damus.io`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://offchain.pub`
  for both relay lists, and Google / Cloudflare / Twilio for STUN.
  Operators are expected to override for production. Other
  verified-working public relays for reference:
  `nostr.bitcoiner.social`, `nostr-pub.wellorder.net`,
  `nostr.oxtr.dev`, `nostr.mom`.
- `app` (default `"fips-overlay-v1"`), `signal_ttl_secs` (120)
- `policy`: `NostrDiscoveryPolicy::{Disabled, ConfiguredOnly (default),
  Open}` — controls whether advert-derived endpoints are consumed
  only for peers carrying `via_nostr = true`, or also for
  non-configured peers within a budget cap.
- `share_local_candidates` (default false) — when false, the offer's
  `local_addresses` list is empty and peers see only the reflexive
  address. Enable per-node only for genuinely same-LAN deployments;
  off-by-default eliminates the misleading-path failure mode for
  the common case where peers are not on the same broadcast domain.
- `open_discovery_max_pending` (64) — caps queued open-discovery
  retries; bounded by available outbound slots.
- `max_concurrent_incoming_offers` (16) — semaphore against offer
  spam; excess offers are debug-logged and dropped.
- `advert_cache_max_entries` (2048) and `seen_sessions_max_entries`
  (2048) — bound memory under ambient relay volume; overflow
  evictions are debug-logged.
- `attempt_timeout_secs` (10), `replay_window_secs` (300)
- `punch_start_delay_ms` (2000), `punch_interval_ms` (200),
  `punch_duration_ms` (10000)
- `advert_ttl_secs` (3600), `advert_refresh_secs` (1800)

Per-peer and per-transport flags:

- `PeerConfig.via_nostr: bool` — when true (and Nostr is enabled),
  advert-derived addresses are appended as fallback dial candidates
  after static addresses for that peer.
- `PeerConfig.addresses` is now `serde(default)` and may be empty
  when `via_nostr: true`; validation requires at least one of the
  two to be present per peer, and the error message names the
  peer's npub.
- `UdpConfig.advertise_on_nostr: Option<bool>` and
  `UdpConfig.public: Option<bool>` — UDP transports can be
  advertised either as direct `host:port` (public = true) or as the
  `addr: "nat"` sentinel that triggers rendezvous on the peer side.
- `TcpConfig.advertise_on_nostr` and `TorConfig.advertise_on_nostr`
  — TCP and Tor onion endpoints can be advertised as directly
  reachable.
- A reserved peer address `transport: udp, addr: "nat"` parses without
  special-casing in YAML and routes through the bootstrap runtime.

Cross-field validation (`Config::validate`, called from `Node::new`
and `Node::with_identity`):

- Any transport with `advertise_on_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- Any peer with `via_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- A non-public UDP advert (`advertise_on_nostr = true`,
  `public = false` — i.e. `udp:nat`) additionally requires at least
  one `dm_relay` and at least one `stun_server`.
  Surfaced as `ConfigError::Validation`.

== Node integration

`src/node/lifecycle.rs` is the main integration point.

- At node start (after transports are up, before TUN), if Nostr is
  enabled and the feature is compiled in, `NostrDiscovery::start` is
  invoked, the initial local overlay advert is built from the live
  transport set and published, and the runtime handle is stored.
- The rx tick loop calls `poll_nostr_discovery` (feature-gated both
  at method definition and call site), which refreshes the local
  advert, drains bootstrap events, adopts established traversals,
  schedules retries for failed traversals, and — under `policy:
  open` — enqueues outbound retries for non-configured peers
  visible in the advert cache, bounded by
  `open_discovery_max_pending` and the remaining outbound slots.
- Outbound peer dialing is refactored to `try_peer_addresses`, which
  first exhausts the static address list in priority order and only
  then appends advert-derived fallback addresses; both lists run
  through the same `attempt_peer_address_list` code path. The
  `udp:nat` sentinel address triggers `NostrDiscovery::request_connect`
  for the peer instead of a direct dial and returns `Ok(())`.
- `build_overlay_advert` walks operational transports, consults
  per-instance `UdpConfig` / `TcpConfig` / `TorConfig` (matching by
  optional transport instance name), and emits an `OverlayAdvert`
  including `signalRelays` and `stunServers` when any UDP endpoint
  is advertised as NAT.
- `adopt_established_traversal` is the bootstrap handoff API:
  allocates a new `TransportId`, constructs a `UdpTransport` with
  the user-supplied (or default) `UdpConfig`, calls the new
  `adopt_socket_async` to reuse the punched socket verbatim,
  registers the transport in the normal transport map, records it
  in `bootstrap_transports`, and calls `initiate_connection` so the
  normal handshake path runs. On failure, the transport is stopped
  and removed cleanly and the set membership is rolled back.
- On clean shutdown, `NostrDiscovery::shutdown` is awaited so
  background tasks stop before transports are torn down. (The
  advert is not explicitly retracted; NIP-40 expiration plus the
  next refresh from any live publisher supersedes it.)

New `Node` fields:

- `nostr_discovery: Option<Arc<NostrDiscovery>>` (feature-gated).
- `bootstrap_transports: HashSet<TransportId>` — per-peer UDP
  transports adopted from NAT traversal, cleaned up via
  `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` whenever the link,
  connection, peer, or pending-connect referencing them is removed.

Retry and error surface:

- `RetryState.expires_at_ms: Option<u64>` — optional absolute expiry
  for a retry entry. `pump_retries` drops expired entries with an
  info log. Used for open-discovery retries, which expire at two
  times the advert TTL.
- New `NodeError::BootstrapHandoff(String)` returned from
  `adopt_established_traversal` when the underlying transport
  adoption fails or local address discovery fails.
- New `ConfigError::Validation(String)`.
- A small refactor extracts `Node::now_ms()` and reuses it across
  lifecycle, rx-loop tick, and timeout bookkeeping.

== UDP transport

`src/transport/udp/`:

- `UdpRawSocket::adopt(std::net::UdpSocket, recv_buf, send_buf)`:
  adopts an externally bound socket, makes it non-blocking, applies
  the configured buffer sizes (warning if the kernel clamps), and
  reports the resulting local address. Preserves the NAT mapping —
  no rebind.
- `UdpTransport::adopt_socket_async(std::net::UdpSocket)`: the
  `start_async` analogue for an already-bound socket, wiring the
  async socket and recv task exactly as the fresh-bind path would.
- `Drop` impl for `UdpTransport`: if a transport is dropped while
  still holding a recv task or socket (for example on error
  teardown), aborts the task, clears the socket, and emits a debug
  log so the cleanup is visible in tracing rather than silent.

== Logging and observability

Default `EnvFilter` demotes third-party relay-pool DEBUG output to
TRACE-only: `nostr_relay_pool`, `nostr_sdk`, and `nostr` are pinned
at INFO when our level is anything below TRACE, and at TRACE when
our level is TRACE — so the raw frames are still reachable when
explicitly asked for. RUST_LOG continues to override completely.

Concise one-line DEBUG events are emitted at the meaningful points
in the discovery / hole-punch sequence:

- `advert: published` (event id, relay count, endpoints, ttl)
- `advert: peer cached` (notify-loop ingress for non-self)
- `advert: resolved` (cache hit / relay fetch outcome)
- `traversal: initiator starting`
- `traversal: initiator STUN observed` (reflexive, local count)
- `traversal: offer sent` (session id, relay count, event id)
- `traversal: answer received` (accepted, reflexive, local)
- `traversal: initiator punch succeeded` (remote addr)
- `traversal: offer received` (responder side)
- `traversal: responder STUN observed`
- `traversal: answer sent`
- `traversal: responder punch succeeded`

Npubs are shortened to `npub1<4>..<4>` and event/session ids to
their first 8 hex characters.

Other operator-facing logs:

- `UdpTransport` adoption and drop paths log at info / debug.
- `adopt_established_traversal` logs at debug on entry and info on
  successful return, tagged with peer npub, session id, transport
  id, and both socket endpoints, so the bootstrap handoff is
  traceable end-to-end alongside the `UdpTransport::drop` log.
- `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` logs at debug when the
  reference-count check drops an adopted transport.
- `connect_peer` tags its entry `debug!` with `peer_npub` so
  downstream STUN, punch, and handshake logs for the same peer
  correlate for operators.
- Advert-cache and seen-sessions overflow evictions log at debug so
  mis-sized caps are visible under ambient relay volume.
- Gift-wrap unwrap failures on `SIGNAL_KIND` events log at trace
  (hot path: fires for every unrelated signal event on the same
  relay).
- Traversal-offer handler failures log at debug. Expected conditions
  such as punch timeout on symmetric NAT are covered there; real
  problems are reported upstream via `BootstrapEvent::Failed`.
- Inbound-offer rate-limit messages name the governing config field
  (`max_concurrent_incoming_offers`) and state that the offer was
  rate-limited rather than failing.

== Tests

- 18 new unit tests in `src/discovery/nostr/tests.rs` covering advert
  encoding, signal envelope round-trip, STUN parsing, punch-packet
  codec, and replay-window enforcement. Run under the
  `nostr-discovery` feature.
- Config-validation tests in `src/config/mod.rs` covering the three
  cross-field invariants and YAML parsing of the full
  `node.discovery.nostr` block plus `peers[].via_nostr`, empty
  `addresses` with `via_nostr: true`, and a `udp: nat` address.
- `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` integration tests that drive a
  synthetic traversal (bound UDP socket pair + synthetic peer
  identity) through `adopt_established_traversal` and assert the
  Noise handshake completes over the adopted socket.
- Punch-planner tests assert reflexive-before-LAN ordering and that
  same-LAN scenarios still include the LAN target in the plan.
- `testing/nat/` Docker NAT lab harness:
  - Local `strfry` relay, local STUN responder, and one or two
    router containers performing `iptables` NAT.
  - Node LAN interfaces are provisioned with explicit `veth` pairs
    injected into the node and router namespaces so every packet
    traverses the router namespace (plain Docker bridges are not
    used for the LAN).
  - `cone` scenario: both peers behind full-cone-emulation NAT
    (SNAT with source-port preservation, inbound DNAT back to the
    single LAN host regardless of remote source); asserts UDP
    traversal succeeds and link remote addresses are on the router
    WAN subnet.
  - `symmetric` scenario: `MASQUERADE --random-fully`; asserts UDP
    traversal fails and TCP fallback converges over router-
    published WAN addresses.
  - `lan` scenario: both peers share a LAN subnet; asserts LAN
    addresses are preferred over reflexive ones.
  - Cleanup tears down all profile-gated services
    (`--profile cone --profile symmetric --profile lan`) so no
    orphan containers survive a run.
- `testing/scripts/build.sh` builds the Docker test image with
  `--features "tui nostr-discovery"` by default so NAT-harness
  binaries include bootstrap support.

== CI

- Linux release build and nextest unit-test job both use
  `--features "gateway nostr-discovery"` so the feature-gated code
  and its unit tests compile and run in CI.
- Three new integration matrix entries (`nat-cone`, `nat-symmetric`,
  `nat-lan`) invoke `testing/nat/scripts/nat-test.sh`, collect
  `docker compose logs` on failure, and always stop containers.

== Packaging and operations

- `packaging/common/fips.yaml` ships a fully commented
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` block, plus documented
  `advertise_on_nostr` / `public` examples under the UDP transport,
  an `advertise_on_nostr` example under TCP, and a `via_nostr: true`
  example under the static peer section with both a direct
  `host:port` UDP address and a `udp: nat` fallback.
- `.github/workflows/package-openwrt.yml`: NIP-94 release event
  publishes target the new default relay set.

== Documentation

- `README.md`: overlay discovery + NAT traversal moved from
  "Near-term priorities" into "What works today".
- `docs/design/fips-intro.md`: rewrites the paragraphs that
  previously described Nostr discovery and NAT traversal as future
  work; describes the shipped mechanism and the feature gate.
- `docs/design/fips-transport-layer.md`: drops the "(future
  direction)" qualifier from the Nostr Relay Discovery section,
  expands with the `udp:nat` advertisement and bootstrap handoff
  description, and updates the Current State callout.
- `docs/design/fips-mesh-layer.md`: notes that mid-session NAT
  rebinding (roaming) and initial NAT traversal (Nostr path) are
  distinct mechanisms.
- `docs/design/fips-configuration.md`: documents the full
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` surface, including the three resource
  caps and `share_local_candidates`.
- `docs/design/fips-nostr-discovery.md`: design and configuration
  reference for the shipped mechanism, including the empty-
  `addresses`-with-`via_nostr` shorthand.
- `docs/proposals/nostr-udp-hole-punch-protocol.md`: adds an
  Implemented status callout, clarifies that the punch socket is
  per-peer and per-attempt rather than shared with the application
  listener, aligns field names with the shipped JSON
  (`sessionId`, `issuedAt` / `expiresAt`, `reflexiveAddress`,
  `localAddresses`, `stunServer`), sets the `d`-tag to
  `fips-overlay-v1`, names the kind as 37195, and notes that
  advertised STUN entries are informational.
- `docs/proposals/README.md`: adds a Status column and marks the
  hole-punching proposal Implemented.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Unreleased > Added entry covering the discovery
  path, STUN/punch path, configuration surface, and Docker NAT lab.

cbc78091ab Rationalize cargo feature and platform-gate surface (#79)
Drop the `tui`, `ble`, and `gateway` cargo features and replace
them with platform cfg gates. Plain `cargo build` now produces
every subsystem appropriate for the target platform with no
feature flags required.

Motivation:
- `default = ["tui", "ble"]` broke `cargo build` on macOS and
  Windows because `ble` pulled in `bluer` (BlueZ, Linux-only).
  Every non-Linux packager needed `--no-default-features`.
- The feature flags on `ble` and `gateway` were redundant with
  their platform-gated deps (`bluer`, `rustables`). The parallel
  gating was inconsistent and error-prone.
- `tui` feature protected against a ratatui binary-size concern
  that no longer applies in 2026.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove `tui`, `ble`, `gateway` features; `default = []`.
- Promote `ratatui` to a non-optional top-level dependency.
- Move `rustables` from top-level optional into the Linux
  target block, non-optional.
- Split `bluer` into its own target block with
  `cfg(all(target_os = "linux", not(target_env = "musl")))`
  — BlueZ isn't available on musl router targets and
  `libdbus-sys` doesn't cross-compile to musl without pkg-config
  sysroot setup.
- Drop `required-features` from the `fipstop` and `fips-gateway`
  `[[bin]]` entries.

build.rs:
- Emit a `bluer_available` custom cfg when `target_os == "linux"`
  and `target_env != "musl"`, for use in place of the verbose
  full predicate in source cfg gates.

Source:
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "gateway")]` with
  `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`. Gateway code works on both
  glibc and musl Linux (rustables is fine on musl).
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "ble")]` with
  `#[cfg(bluer_available)]`. BLE-specific code (BluerIo module,
  bluer type conversions, BLE transport instance creation,
  resolve_ble_addr) is excluded on musl and non-Linux. Generic
  `BleAddr`, `BleIo` trait, `MockBleIo`, and `BleTransport<I>`
  still compile on all targets.
- `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs`: always compiled, but `main()` is
  gated to Linux. Non-Linux stub exits 1 with a diagnostic.
  Existing non-Linux packaging scripts don't ship it, so the
  stub binary sits unused.

Packaging and CI:
- Drop `--features` and `--no-default-features` flags from every
  packaging script and workflow. Defaults now match each
  platform's capabilities.
- AUR `fips-git` automatically aligns with stable `PKGBUILD`
  (both build with defaults).

Verified: `cargo build --release` with no flags produces all
four binaries on glibc Linux; all unit and integration tests
pass across Linux/macOS/Windows/OpenWrt (musl) in CI.

ed312ac6f2 Fix DNS resolution on Ubuntu 22 with systemd-resolved (#77)
On Ubuntu 22 (systemd 249), systemd-resolved applies interface-scoped
routing to per-link DNS servers. Configuring `resolvectl dns fips0
127.0.0.1:5354` caused resolved to attempt reaching 127.0.0.1 through
fips0 (a TUN with only fd00::/8 routes), silently failing. The DNS
responder never received queries. Newer systemd versions (250+) have
explicit handling for loopback servers on non-loopback interfaces.

Changes:

- DNS responder default bind_addr changed from "127.0.0.1" to "::"
  so it listens on all interfaces, including fips0. Bind logic in
  lifecycle.rs now parses bind_addr as IpAddr and constructs a
  SocketAddr, handling IPv6 literal formatting. Factored into
  Node::bind_dns_socket with explicit IPV6_V6ONLY=0 via socket2, so
  IPv4 clients on 127.0.0.1:5354 still reach the responder
  regardless of the kernel's net.ipv6.bindv6only sysctl.

- fips-dns-setup resolvectl backend now waits for fips0 to have a
  global IPv6 address, then configures resolved with
  [<fips0-addr>]:5354. That address is locally delivered by the
  kernel regardless of which interface resolved tries to route
  through. The dnsmasq and NetworkManager backends still use
  127.0.0.1 (they don't have the interface-scoping issue).

- Dropped hardcoded `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` from the packaged
  fips.yaml (Debian + OpenWrt). The shipped config was overriding
  the new default.

- DNS queries are only accepted from the localhost.

Verified end-to-end in a privileged Ubuntu 22.04 systemd container:
dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips resolves cleanly through
systemd-resolved.

The dns-delegate backend (systemd 258+) still uses 127.0.0.1; it
has not been verified whether that backend has the same routing
issue.

7b3c2daa12 Arch packaging fix (aur): fix namcap issues in PKGBUILD (#63)
* packaging(aur): fix namcap issues in PKGBUILD

Changes made to fix namcap issues:

1. Added `dbus` to dependencies - the fips binary links against
   libdbus-1.so.3, so dbus must be listed as a runtime dependency.

2. Disabled split debug package - added `!debug` to options to prevent
   creating a broken -debug package. The debug package was generating
   symlinks with incorrect paths, causing namcap errors.

3. Made config file world-readable - changed fips.yaml permissions from
   0600 to 0644.

Remaining namcap warnings (can be ignored):
- "Unused shared library '/usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'" - False
  positive. The dynamic linker is required for the binary to run.
- "Dependency libgcc detected and implicitly satisfied" / "gcc-libs
  may not be needed" - These are contradictory. The binaries do link
  to libgcc_s.so.1, and gcc-libs provides it. Keeping an explicit
  dependency is correct.

* Updated based on comments

fe205e74de Multi-backend DNS configuration for .fips domain (#58)
Replace the resolvectl-only fips-dns.service with a detection script
that configures whichever DNS resolver is available:

1. systemd dns-delegate (systemd >= 258, declarative drop-in)
2. systemd-resolved via resolvectl (most systemd distros)
3. dnsmasq (standalone)
4. NetworkManager with dnsmasq plugin
5. Warning with manual instructions if none found

Service reloads are non-fatal — config is written and the backend
is recorded even if the reload fails, preventing state file cleanup
issues under set -e.

Teardown reads the recorded backend from /run/fips/dns-backend and
reverses the configuration, or cleans up all possible backends if
the state file is missing.

Includes a Docker-based test harness (testing/dns-resolver/test.sh)
covering all five backends across Debian 12, Debian 13, Fedora,
and bare systems.

Fixes #52.

774e33fd27 Add Windows platform support (#45)
Gate platform-specific code behind cfg attributes and add full Windows
  support: TUN device via wintun, TCP control socket on localhost:21210,
  Windows Service lifecycle (--install-service/--uninstall-service/--service),
  CI build and test matrix, and packaging with ZIP builder and PowerShell
  service management scripts.

  Key changes:

  - Cargo.toml: move tun/libc/rtnetlink behind cfg(unix); add wintun and
    windows-service dependencies for Windows
  - upper/tun.rs: wintun-based TUN implementation with netsh configuration
    for IPv6 address, MTU, and fd00::/8 routing
  - control/mod.rs: split into unix_impl/windows_impl; Windows uses TCP on
    localhost:21210 with shared connection handler
  - bin/fips.rs: refactor main() into run_daemon() accepting a shutdown
    signal; add Windows Service support via windows-service crate
  - transport/udp/socket.rs: platform-gated modules; Windows uses
    tokio::net::UdpSocket (kernel drop count unavailable, returns 0)
  - transport/ethernet: gate to cfg(unix); add Windows stub types
  - config: platform-conditional default paths (socket, hosts) for Windows
  - CI: add windows-latest to build matrix and test-windows job with
    cargo-nextest
  - packaging/windows: build-zip.ps1, install-service.ps1,
    uninstall-service.ps1, and package-windows.yml workflow
  - README/docs: Windows build instructions, service management, and
    control socket platform differences

  Linux and macOS behavior is unchanged.

e693f4fb7e Add macOS support, fix bloom filter routing and MMP intervals
macOS platform:
- Platform-native TUN interface management with shutdown pipe
- Raw Ethernet transport with macOS socket backend (socket_macos.rs)
- EthernetTransport and TransportHandle::Ethernet ungated from Linux-only
- macOS .pkg packaging (build-pkg.sh, launchd plist, uninstall script)
- CI: macOS build and unit test jobs; x86_64 cross-compiled from
  macos-latest via rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin

Gateway feature flag:
- New opt-in `gateway` Cargo feature activates optional `rustables` dep
- `pub mod gateway` and `Config.gateway` gated behind the feature so
  macOS builds never pull in Linux-only nftables bindings
- `fips-gateway` bin has `required-features = ["gateway"]`
- All Linux/OpenWrt/AUR packaging passes `--features gateway`

CI / packaging:
- package-linux, package-macos, package-openwrt now trigger on push to
  master/maint/next and on pull requests; release uploads remain tag-gated
- Bloom filter routing fix: fall through to tree routing when no candidate
  is strictly closer
- MMP intervals: raise MIN to 1s / MAX to 5s with 5-sample cold-start phase

cb6f263a1d Add node.log_level config, remove RUST_LOG from service files
Add log_level field to NodeConfig (case-insensitive, default: info).
The daemon now loads config before initializing tracing so the
configured level takes effect. RUST_LOG env var still overrides if
set.

Remove hardcoded Environment=RUST_LOG=info from systemd units and
OpenWrt procd init script — these prevented config-driven log levels
from working.

88fcf57067 Fix OpenWrt ipk build: exclude BLE feature that requires D-Bus
The ble feature (bluer crate) pulls in libdbus-sys which cannot
cross-compile with cargo-zigbuild. Disable default features and
explicitly enable only tui for the OpenWrt package build.

89352d3218 Add BLE L2CAP transport with scan-based auto-connect
BLE transport implementation using L2CAP Connection-Oriented Channels
(SeqPacket mode) via the bluer crate, behind cfg(feature = "ble").

Core transport:
- BleTransport<I> generic over BleIo trait (BluerIo prod, MockBleIo test)
- Connection pool with priority eviction (static > discovered, max 7)
- Connect-on-send via connect_inline() matching TCP behavior
- Per-connection receive loops with pool cleanup on disconnect

Discovery and probing:
- Combined scan_probe_loop using select! over scanner events and a
  BinaryHeap delay queue with per-entry random jitter (0-5s) to prevent
  herd effects when multiple nodes see the same beacon simultaneously
- Pre-handshake pubkey exchange ([0x00][pubkey:32]) for IK identity
- Cross-probe tie-breaker: smaller NodeAddr's outbound wins (same
  convention as FMP/FSP rekey dual-initiation)
- Probed peers reported to DiscoveryBuffer; pool fills through normal
  node-layer auto-connect -> send_async -> connect_inline path

Beacon management:
- Periodic advertising: 1s burst every 30s (configurable via
  beacon_interval_secs / beacon_duration_secs)
- FIPS service UUID for scan filtering

Configuration (all fields optional with defaults):
- adapter, psm, mtu, max_connections, connect_timeout_ms
- advertise, scan, auto_connect, accept_connections
- beacon_interval_secs (30), beacon_duration_secs (1)

Hardware validated with two BLE nodes:
- 2048-byte MTU, ~60-160ms RTT, zero-config auto-connect
- BLE spike tool at testing/ble/ for standalone adapter validation

42 unit tests + 4 node-level integration tests, all CI-compatible
via MockBleIo (no hardware required). tokio test-util added for
time-dependent scan/probe tests.

b8fbecc575 Demote 35 info-level log messages to debug for cleaner production output
Reduce info-level noise by moving intermediate steps, periodic
telemetry, cross-connection resolution details, and redundant messages
to debug. Info output now focuses on operator-relevant state changes:
lifecycle events, peer promotions, session establishment, parent
switches, and transport start/stop.

Key categories demoted:
- Handshake cross-connection resolution mechanics (10 messages)
- Periodic MMP link/session metric reports (4 messages)
- TUN cleanup messages redundant with lifecycle shutdown (4 messages)
- Transport "packet channel closed" shutdown messages (4 messages)
- Retry scheduling, discovery lookup initiation, other intermediate steps

Change default RUST_LOG from debug to info in systemd unit files.

537eaf0db7 Fix tarball reproducibility: default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and sort entries
build-tarball.sh only applied --mtime when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was
explicitly set, and did not sort tar entries. This produced different
tarballs across builds due to varying timestamps and filesystem
ordering. Default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the git commit timestamp and
add --sort=name for deterministic output.

c164de8808 Add reproducible build infrastructure
Pin Rust toolchain to 1.94.0 via rust-toolchain.toml for deterministic
compiler output across environments. Set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from git
commit timestamp in CI workflows and packaging scripts to normalize
embedded timestamps.

Make packaging archives reproducible: pass --mtime=@$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
to tar in .deb, .ipk, and systemd tarball builds. Normalize ownership
to root:root in systemd tarballs. Pin cargo-zigbuild to 0.19.8 for
cross-compilation stability.

Add SHA-256 hash output to CI build and OpenWrt packaging workflows
for binary verification.

5f7fe989f3 Fix rekey dual-initiation, parent selection, peer reconnect, and control socket
Rekey dual-initiation race (FMP + FSP):
When both sides' rekey timers fire simultaneously on high-latency links
(Tor ~700ms RTT), both msg1s cross in flight before dampening can
suppress the second initiation. Each node acts as both initiator and
responder, with set_pending_session() from the responder path destroying
the initiator's in-progress state. Each side ends up with a
pending_new_session from a different Noise handshake, causing AEAD
verification failure after cutover and link death. Fix: deterministic
tie-breaker in both FMP msg1 handler and FSP SessionSetup handler
(smaller NodeAddr wins as initiator). Also guard against pending session
overwrite from retransmitted msg1s.

Parent selection SRTT gate:
Peers without MMP RTT data are excluded from parent candidacy via
has_srtt() filter, preventing freshly reconnected peers from appearing
artificially attractive. First-RTT triggers immediate parent re-eval.
The gate in evaluate_parent() skips unmeasured candidates when any peer
has cost data, but falls back to default cost 1.0 during cold start
when no peer has MMP data yet.

Auto-reconnect on all peer removal paths:
The excessive-decryption-failure and peer-restart epoch-mismatch removal
paths were missing schedule_reconnect() calls, causing auto-connect peers
to be permanently abandoned after those events.

Control socket accessibility:
Socket and parent directory chowned to root:fips with mode 0770/0750 so
group members can use fipsctl/fipstop without root.

Log level changes:
Default RUST_LOG changed to debug in systemd service files. "Unknown
session index" log reduced from debug to trace.

6c90cf6c02 Implement Tor transport with operator visibility
Add TorTransport in src/transport/tor/ supporting three operating modes:

Outbound (socks5 mode):
- Non-blocking SOCKS5 connect via tokio-socks with per-destination
  circuit isolation (IsolateSOCKSAuth)
- TorAddr enum for .onion and clearnet address types
- Connection pool with per-connection receive tasks, reuses TCP
  stream FMP framing
- connect_async()/connection_state_sync()/promote_connection() follow
  the same non-blocking polling pattern as TCP transport

Inbound (directory mode — recommended for production):
- Tor manages the onion service via HiddenServiceDir in torrc
- FIPS reads .onion address from hostname file at startup
- No control port needed — enables Tor Sandbox 1 (seccomp-bpf)
- Accept loop mirrors TCP pattern with DirectoryServiceConfig

Monitoring (control_port mode and optional in directory mode):
- Async control port client supporting TCP and Unix socket connections
  via Box<dyn AsyncRead/Write> trait objects
- AUTHENTICATE with cookie or password auth
- 8 GETINFO queries: bootstrap, circuits, traffic, liveness, version,
  dormant state, SOCKS listeners
- Background monitoring task polls every 10s, caches TorMonitoringInfo
  in Arc<RwLock> for synchronous query access
- Bootstrap milestone logging (25/50/75/100%), stall warning (>60s),
  network liveness transitions, dormant mode entry
- Directory mode optionally connects to control port when control_addr
  is configured (non-fatal on failure)

Operator visibility:
- show_transports query exposes tor_mode, onion_address, tor_monitoring
  (bootstrap, circuit_established, traffic, liveness, version, dormant)
- fipstop transport detail view: Tor mode, onion address, SOCKS5/control
  errors, connection stats, Tor daemon status section
- fipstop table view: tor(mode) label with truncated onion address hint

Security hardening:
- Per-destination circuit isolation via IsolateSOCKSAuth
- Unix socket default for control port (/run/tor/control)
- Reference torrc with HiddenServiceDir, VanguardsLiteEnabled,
  ConnectionPadding, DoS protections (PoW + intro rate limiting)

Config:
- TorConfig with socks5, control_port, and directory modes
- DirectoryServiceConfig: hostname_file, bind_addr
- control_addr, control_auth, cookie_path, connect_timeout,
  max_inbound_connections

Testing:
- 69 unit + integration tests with mock SOCKS5 and control servers
- Docker tests: socks5-outbound (clearnet via Tor) and directory-mode
  (HiddenServiceDir onion service)

Documentation:
- Transport layer design doc: Tor architecture, directory mode
- Configuration doc: Tor config tables and examples

c0f30d8fe8 Add DNS hostname support in peer addresses for UDP and TCP transports
Add resolve_socket_addr() with IP fast path and tokio::net::lookup_host()
fallback for DNS hostnames. Peer addresses can now use hostnames like
"peer1.example.com:2121" alongside IP addresses.

UDP transport adds a per-transport DNS cache (60s TTL) to avoid
per-packet resolution. TCP resolves at connect time (one-shot).

Update design docs, config examples, and changelog to reflect hostname
support in transport addressing.
