Separate control and data logically, move WireGuard into userspace, add a CLI
Corrects the architecture on two points raised in review, while the project is still small enough to change cheaply. 1. Control and data are separated *logically*, not physically. The old reading — "nothing but control may ride on iroh" — threw away iroh's whole value and would have forced the data plane to reimplement STUN, ICE and a relay. Now both planes ride on iroh with different ALPNs and different connections, so the data plane inherits hole punching and relay fallback, while proto/ still knows nothing about packets and dataplane/ knows nothing about the control protocol. New boundary: PacketTransport / PacketLink, an authenticated unreliable datagram channel per (network, peer, protocol). tsunagi/data/1 runs the same membership handshake, then DataOpen/DataOpenAck, then QUIC datagrams. Only the smaller endpoint id dials, so exactly one link exists per pair. A plugin is handed links and never learns reachability, so the WireGuard announcement shrank to a public key: there is no address left to lie about. 2. WireGuard now runs in userspace, on boringtun's protocol state machine. No kernel module, no wg tool, no ip shell-out, no loopback proxy: the wgtool, backend and bridge modules are gone. Only creating a TUN device needs privileges, and that sits behind TunFactory, so the entire data plane — handshake, encryption, routing, address ownership — is tested with none. Address ownership is enforced rather than believed: outbound packets go to the owner of the destination address, inbound packets are dropped unless their source is the address derived for the peer that sent them. 3. A `tsunagi` binary: secret, doctor, id, up. It owns the runtime, the logging subscriber and Ctrl-C, which the library still refuses to. Also fixes a reference cycle where IrohTransport held Arc<Inner>, which kept the databases open and the directory lock held after shutdown; two storage tests caught it once the cycle existed. 81 tests pass offline with no privileges, including real IPv6 packets crossing a real WireGuard tunnel over real iroh connections. Verified by hand: two CLI processes forming a mesh both on loopback and via n0 discovery using only an endpoint id. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
