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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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). |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Add host-to-npub static mapping with DNS hostname resolution
Add a HostMap that resolves human-readable hostnames to npubs, enabling `gateway.fips` instead of the full `npub1...xyz.fips`. Two sources populate the map: peer `alias` fields from the YAML config and an operator-maintained hosts file at /etc/fips/hosts. The DNS responder auto-reloads the hosts file on each request by checking the file modification time, so operators can update mappings without restarting the daemon. - New src/upper/hosts.rs: HostMap, HostMapReloader, hostname validation, hosts file parser with auto-reload on mtime change - DNS resolver checks host map before falling back to direct npub - Node uses host map for peer display names - Default hosts file added to both .deb and tarball packaging - 26 new tests (789 total) |

Add packaging subsystem with systemd tarball installer
Packaging directory structure: - packaging/common/ — shared config (fips.yaml) used by all formats - packaging/systemd/ — systemd-specific installer and service units Systemd packaging includes: - build-tarball.sh: builds release binaries and creates a self-contained install tarball with stripped binaries - fips.service: systemd unit running the daemon with security hardening - fips-dns.service: oneshot unit configuring resolvectl to route .fips domain queries to the FIPS DNS shim on 127.0.0.1:5354 - install.sh: deploys binaries to /usr/local/bin, installs systemd units, creates fips group for non-root control socket access - uninstall.sh: removes service and binaries, optional --purge for config and identity key files - README.install.md: installation and configuration guide Default config enables UDP (2121), TCP inbound (8443), TUN, and DNS resolver. Identity is ephemeral by default for privacy; operators can uncomment persistent: true to maintain a stable npub for static peer publishing. Ethernet transport is commented out for per-node setup. |
