Stop concurrent local CI runs from clobbering each other's containers
Two runs on one host destroyed each other's containers, producing mid-test "No such container" failures that look like real defects. The automated builder runs a full local CI on the same box every few minutes, so the machine is contended almost always and this has red-ed both a hand run and an automated gate. Two independent causes are fixed here. Container names were hardcoded, and docker names are global rather than scoped by compose project, so two runs collided on the same name; every name now takes an optional suffix that the harness sets from the run id. And the cleanup sweep matched a label shared by every run, so one run's teardown force-removed another's containers; resources now also carry a per-run label and the sweep can be narrowed to it. A third hazard turned up that was not in the original report: the sidecar suite passes explicit compose project names, which override the run-scoped project and put it outside the shared prefix entirely. Its project names, network, and derived container references are now scoped too. Both are default-off. With the suffix unset, names render exactly as they do today and a bare compose invocation is unchanged, which is what keeps the hosted CI and the documentation correct. A cleanup run with no run id still reaps everything, which is what a manual "clear the box" wants. The literal-name sweep was not sufficient: six scripts build container names dynamically from node labels, and two suites create their own containers outside compose. Those are handled at their construction sites. Verified: syntax check on all modified scripts; compose validation on every modified file with the suffix both set and unset; and a synthetic two-run reproduction that shows the old cleanup destroying a bystander run and the new one leaving it alone. Known gap: subnets are still hardcoded, so two concurrent full runs will still collide on address-pool overlap. That fix reaches into topology configs, chaos scenarios, diagrams and production source, so it is left for its own change rather than half-done here. |

Update trace-target references for the relocated rendezvous modules
Moving the nostr rendezvous engine to src/nostr/ (and mDNS to src/mdns/) changed the module-path-derived tracing targets from fips::discovery::nostr::* to fips::nostr::*. Update the RUST_LOG filters in the NAT and mesh-lab test compose files and the resolve-peers-via-nostr tutorial's debug recipe to the new targets so trace configs and the documented journal-watch command keep emitting the intended lines. Without this, the stun-faults suite's Phase-0 pre-flight (which greps the daemon journal for the debug-level "STUN observation succeeded" / "traversal: initiator STUN observed" lines) saw those lines suppressed — the daemon behaved correctly, but the stale RUST_LOG target hid the evidence. Test-harness and docs only; no source or behavior change. |

testing: make ci-local.sh preemption-safe with per-run docker isolation
A CI worker may preempt an in-flight ci-local.sh run (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after a grace period) to restart on a newer commit. For that kill to be safe, the script must clean up after itself and never let a dying run collide with its restart. It previously had no signal handling, shared the default compose project name across runs, and tore down each suite only at the suite end. - Derive a per-run id (honoring FIPS_CI_RUN_ID, else short-sha+random) and namespace every docker resource to it: a fipsci_<run>_<suite> compose project per suite and per parallel chaos child, and per-run image tags (fips-test:<run>, fips-test-app:<run>) retagged to :latest only after both builds succeed so :latest never points at a half-built image. - Install a bounded, idempotent teardown trap on SIGTERM/SIGINT (+ EXIT): reap parallel chaos children, then force-remove this run's docker resources via the new ci-cleanup.sh, wrapped in timeout so a stuck down cannot wedge it. - Exit 143 (SIGTERM) / 130 (SIGINT), distinct from 0 (pass) / 1 (failed), so a preempting worker tells a cancelled run from a real failure. - Add ci-cleanup.sh (also ci-local.sh --reap): force-removes leftover CI resources by the com.corganlabs.fips-ci=1 label and the fipsci_ project prefix, robust to however a prior run died. - Label every per-suite docker resource so the label sweep reaps it after a SIGKILL regardless of network name: direct docker run/network resources, the sidecar compose services, and every per-suite compose network (acl-allowlist, boringtun, firewall, nat, static, both tor suites, and the chaos generator template). Parametrize the static/sidecar compose image refs so the per-run tags are honored. - Give each parallel chaos child a unique /24 from 10.30.x (a new --subnet override on the sim CLI, assigned per-child in ci-local.sh) so parallel children never collide on a shared docker subnet, and a chaos net can never span a fixed-subnet suite (sidecar/static in 172.20.x). 10.30.x sits outside docker's default-address-pool range, so an auto-assigned net cannot land on it either; node IPs derive from the subnet, so no scenario config changes. |

testing/mesh-lab: nat-lan cpu-pinning sidecar + trace overlay + stall_signature
Three deltas to the mesh-lab nat-lan suite for stall characterization: - FIPS_NAT_LAN_CPUSET env-var-driven CPU-pinning sidecar in run_nat_lan, mirroring the bloom-storm pattern. Pinning is needed because the mesh-lab compose-resource-limits.yml override is rekey-family service-name specific (rekey-* / rekey-accept-off-* / rekey-outbound-only-*), so it does not constrain the nat-lan containers. Default cpuset 0,1 mimics a GHA 2-core runner; empty disables the sidecar. - New compose-trace-nat.yml overlay that bumps RUST_LOG to trace on discovery::nostr, transport::udp, node::lifecycle, handlers::handshake, handlers::forwarding — the modules covering the cross-init / adoption / handshake path. Picked up by the nat-test.sh COMPOSE array via a new FIPS_NAT_EXTRA_COMPOSE colon-separated env-var hook. run_nat_lan sets this hook when FIPS_MESH_LAB_TRACE is non-empty; the README env-var section updated to reflect that FIPS_MESH_LAB_TRACE now applies to nat-lan in addition to the rekey-family. - parse_nat_lan extended with a per-node stall_signature emitting last-occurrence timestamps for eight event categories (startup, discovery, adoption, handshake_init, msg2_sent, cross_init_ignore_*, handshake_failed) plus derived last_meaningful_event_ts, last_event_category, silent_gap_s. Top-level stall_class binned as no_timeout / silent / localized / distributed / incomplete from the per-node categories. Aggregation phase consumes the per-rep signatures across a characterization run to classify stall mechanism. Wired support in nat-test.sh: FIPS_NAT_EXTRA_COMPOSE colon-separated list of repo-relative or absolute compose files layered onto the base via the COMPOSE array; FIPS_NAT_SKIP_FINAL_CLEANUP gates the success-path teardown so the mesh-lab harness can capture docker logs before tearing down (failure paths already returned without cleanup, leaving stall-state containers intact for capture). Smoke-tested on idle profile with TRACE on: 1 rep PASS, 32/36 TRACE lines per node, signature.json events all populated with the expected category timestamps. |

Add stun-faults integration suite covering STUN failure/recovery
Cover the previously untested STUN client behavior under server
unreachable, response timeout, and packet loss. The 3 NAT scenarios
test happy paths only; if the STUN client mishandled a fault (panic,
hang, missing log signal), it would silently degrade NAT traversal
without surfacing in CI.
testing/nat/scripts/stun-faults-test.sh (new, 244 lines):
Phase 1 (drop, ~12s): tc prio + netem loss 100% band + u32 filter on
dst 172.31.10.40 udp 3478. Falls back to iptables -j DROP if netem
isn't available. Asserts daemon process alive, no panic, log line
matching stun.*(timed?out|fail|fallback|unreachable|no address)
within the phase window.
Phase 2 (delay then clear, ~17s): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem
delay 5000ms for 7s, then deleted. 10s settle. Asserts process alive,
no panic, AND "STUN observation succeeded" log line after clear
(recovery proof).
Phase 3 (kill, ~12s): docker stop fips-nat-stun. Asserts process
alive, no panic, fault evidence in logs.
testing/nat/docker-compose.yml: stun-faults profile adds two
services. stun-fault-node is fips-test:latest on shared-lan at
172.31.10.50. stun-fault-shim is fips-test:latest sharing the
daemon's network namespace via network_mode: service:stun-fault-
node, with cap_add NET_ADMIN, NET_RAW; entrypoint sleep infinity so
the script can docker exec into it. Reuses existing stun
(172.31.10.40:3478) and relay (172.31.10.30:7777) services.
testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh: 3-hunk update so the
generator accepts the new scenario and points its peer config at the
existing relay/STUN. The peer is configured for connect_peer() so
the daemon retries traversal on a loop, repeatedly invoking
observe_traversal_addresses() — which is the fault-injection target.
testing/ci-local.sh: STUN_FAULTS_SUITES=(stun-faults) array,
run_stun_faults runner, list/integration-loop/--only-dispatch hooks.
.github/workflows/ci.yml: matrix row {suite: stun-faults, type:
stun-faults} + 3 steps gated on matrix.type == 'stun-faults' between
nostr-publish-consume and any chaos suite. Reuses fips-linux
artifact + fips-test:latest image.
Approach: script-driven via docker exec stun-fault-shim. Sharing
network namespace means tc rules on the shim's eth0 affect daemon
egress. No timing logic in the shim itself.

Add nostr-publish-consume integration suite
Cover the previously untested overlay advert publish/relay/consume
round-trip. The bilateral publish/subscribe path was a v0.3.0 release
gap: malformed adverts could panic consumers, broken signatures could
go undetected, and reverse-direction subscription was unverified.
Adds testing/nat/scripts/nostr-relay-test.sh (290 lines):
Phase 1+2 (combined): wait_for_peers on both nodes; pass on
bidirectional advert publish/subscribe round-trip + dial completed;
ping6 both directions confirms TUN-level reachability.
Phase 3 (malformed advert resilience): stdlib-only Python WebSocket
client publishes a syntactically valid Schnorr-signed Kind-37195
event whose `content` is gibberish (cannot deserialize as
OverlayAdvert). The relay enforces BIP-340 signature validity, so the
event reaches the consumers (rather than being dropped at the relay)
— a trivially-junk content payload is the right adversarial input.
Required ~80 lines of stdlib-only secp256k1 + BIP-340 in the script
(no new container deps). Asserts pidof fips on both nodes after the
publish, scans logs for panic markers, re-pings to prove the existing
peer link survives.
testing/nat/docker-compose.yml: new profile nostr-publish-consume
with two daemon services (nostr-pub-a 172.31.10.20, nostr-pub-b
172.31.10.21) on shared-lan, reusing the existing strfry relay
(172.31.10.30:7777) and STUN service (172.31.10.40:3478).
testing/nat/scripts/generate-configs.sh: 2-line allowlist update so
the new scenario flows through the existing config generator (rather
than forking a parallel one). Generated node-{a,b}.yaml + npubs.env
smoke-tested cleanly.
testing/ci-local.sh: NOSTR_RELAY_SUITES=(nostr-publish-consume)
array, run_nostr_publish_consume runner, dispatch in run_integration
and run_suite. Mirrors existing run_nat shape.
.github/workflows/ci.yml: one matrix row + 3 steps in the integration
job, gated on matrix.type == 'nostr-publish-consume'. Consumes the
same fips-linux artifact and fips-test:latest image as the existing
NAT suites.
Tor/TCP transport variants kept out of v0.3.0 scope; the structure
leaves room for nostr-publish-consume-tcp/-tor siblings later without
disturbing this baseline.

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. |

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.
