Retire offline node claims with equal network-wide cleanup rights
Offline devices reserved names and IPv4 addresses indefinitely, leaving stale members in the device history. Give every authenticated network participant the same right to retire another device's observed signed claim without an owner, quorum, permanent identity ban or secret change. Add a separately signed retirement containing the target's original signed claim as proof. Verify both signatures and network scopes, retain the strongest proved cutoff per target with deterministic ties, and suppress claim versions at or below it in membership, hostname ownership and IPv4 allocation. Keep the old signed records and range agreement, and retain markers after a newer claim returns so old replicas cannot resurrect obsolete reservations. A returning device signs a newer claim, allocates against current holders and resets its previous hostname priority rather than taking a reused name with an old time. Commit local retirement and the requester's author counter atomically before announcing it; receivers persist proofs before applying them. Bound history to 1024 targets by default, reject additional targets without evicting protection, and treat corrupt or over-limit mandatory storage as an explicit error. Repeat bounded marker batches with a per-session rotating cursor so queue pressure cannot indefinitely starve later markers. Exclude retired claims and cached hints from history-derived discovery without preventing a fresh authenticated device from returning. Expose Agent::forget_node through the shared local control API. CLI command tsng network forget-node accepts exact network names, full ids or unique id prefixes, and exact node hostnames, ids, prefixes or overlay IPv4 addresses. Ambiguous selections change nothing. Recheck the observed version and refuse self, online nodes, the selected exit node and absent or changed claims. Add Forget with an identity confirmation to offline tray device rows. Widen Show devices to 1440x640 with an 800x400 minimum to fit its contents. Control ALPN/version advances to tsunagi/ctrl/7 and local IPC to 21; upgrade all peers and restart the agent with matching CLI/tray clients. Data ALPN 5, network identity derivation, handshake encoding and existing record signing bytes remain unchanged. SQLite schema 9 adds retirement storage while retaining identity, secrets, settings and signed claims. Document behavior and limits. Validation on Linux through nix develop: - cargo fmt --all -- --check - cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings - cargo test --locked --workspace --all-targets: 519 passed, 2 existing ignored tests; inherited TSUNAGI_CONTROL_SOCKET and TSUNAGI_CONTROL_GROUP were unset - git diff --check and the built CLI forget-node help Tests use real iroh authentication and SQLite. Cover restart, stale-replica recovery, equal rights and network isolation, hostname reuse and return, twelve marker batches through a two-message queue, malformed signatures and proofs, invented future cutoffs, deterministic merge, capacity, migration and injected counter-write rollback, selectors and cleanup through two real CLI processes. Earlier iterations caught a private test API, a collapsible tray conditional and a crash-based CLI test waiting for QUIC's idle timeout; corrected before the final successful suite. Manual tray rendering, macOS/Windows, privileged TUNs and public-network traversal were not run. The requested RC tag is v0.1.0-rc.31; no push was requested.
