The development shell inherited build dependencies but Cargo-built tray
binaries lack the installed package's wrapper. AppIndicator was present in
the store yet its dlopen lookup failed because the runtime library path was
missing. The same problem affected dynamically loaded graphics libraries.
Expose the package's existing trayRuntimeLibs through passthru and reuse that
list in mkShell packages and its LD_LIBRARY_PATH hook. Include the existing
NixOS OpenGL driver path and preserve any caller-supplied library paths.
The development shell and installed tray now share one dependency list.
Document direct execution of Cargo-built tray binaries inside nix develop.
No agent, protocol, package version or system configuration changes.
Validation on Linux:
- Reproduced the missing AppIndicator dlopen failure before the change.
- Loaded libayatana-appindicator3.so.1, libxkbcommon-x11.so.0, libEGL.so.1,
libGL.so.1 and libwayland-client.so.0 inside the updated shell.
- Verified AppIndicator still loads with an inherited LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
that the existing value is preserved. The first probe used an older host
Python with an incompatible glibc; probes using Python from the pinned
nixpkgs input passed.
- Evaluated the x86_64-linux CLI package and shared runtime dependency list,
and the aarch64-linux development shell; no aarch64 execution claimed.
- nixfmt --check flake.nix nix/package.nix
- cargo fmt --all -- --check
- cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --locked --workspace --all-targets: 566 passed, 3 ignored
Cargo checks ran through nix develop, with TSUNAGI_CONTROL_SOCKET unset for
Clippy and tests. Existing agent and tray processes were not restarted.
Using an exit node could destroy direct peer connections: the agent's UID
bypass protected outbound routing, but reverse-path checks look up replies
without that UID and selected the overlay default. A real-host A/B check
confirmed that relaxing only strict reverse-path filtering restored direct
connections and exit HTTP traffic; the diagnostic host changes were removed.
Keep strict filtering and protect the Linux underlay with a dedicated masked
mark bit, 0x40000000. Mark the dedicated service UID in OUTPUT, save only that
bit in conntrack and restore it before PREROUTING reverse-path checks. Install
IPv4/IPv6 mark and UID main-table bypass rules before Tailscale's priorities;
leave application-specific and exit-default routing after them. Preserve
foreign mark bits, main-table routes and foreign firewall/policy rules.
Protect the first inbound TCP/UDP packet using bounded, locally owned socket
addresses/ports from /proc and an actual socket match. Refresh socket protection
before sending private transport negotiations and on discovery ticks, without
firewall writes for an unchanged socket set. Remote announcements never become
OS arguments. A failed refresh leaves active exit routing in place. Install
protection before routes, remove routes before protection, roll back partial
activation, and remove only exact interface tags, including legacy UID rules.
Reject strict kernel rp_filter without src_valid_mark with an actionable error;
never weaken filtering or change host sysctls. Document mark-aware Netfilter
requirements and provide the trusted ip6tables path in the NixOS module.
Other platforms retain their existing exit implementation. Peer wire formats,
identity derivation, local IPC and persistent storage are unchanged.
Make the tray devices grid fill and shrink with the window, constrain the first
cell and give remaining width to traffic plots. Keep displayed end-to-end
protocol and its short encryption tooltip consistent, independent of carrier
protocol. Move handshake/session age into its own column beside the existing
iroh control RTT. Use stable per-device hover identities and concise tooltips;
missing protocols/measurements remain explicit rather than invented.
Validation on Linux through nix develop:
- cargo fmt --all -- --check
- cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --locked --workspace --all-targets: 529 passed, 3 ignored;
inherited TSUNAGI_CONTROL_SOCKET and TSUNAGI_CONTROL_GROUP were unset
- explicit privileged kernel regression: 1 passed, using disposable namespaces,
real TCP/UDP IPv4/IPv6, strict kernel and Netfilter RPF, first inbound packets,
dynamic UDP binding, application exit routing/IPv6 blocking, repeated apply
and exact cleanup with foreign Tailscale-priority rules retained
- headless egui grid/scroll-area rendering at multiple sizes and control RTT,
mark masks/order, passive socket parsing, partial failure and cleanup tests
- git diff --check
Earlier iterations caught rtnetlink family API and nonexhaustive initializer
errors, Clippy warnings, egui's implicit minimum column width, and kernel-test
fixture issues (wildcard echo source, blocked IPv6 neighbour discovery and a
closed child stdout pipe). Corrected before final checks; the stdout-only test
fix was checked with fmt, Clippy and the explicit kernel regression afterward.
Native tray rendering and macOS/Windows checks were not run. The running host
agent was not replaced or restarted. Requested release tag: v0.1.0-rc.32.
The README is now a landing page: the idea (a mesh VPN with no server, joined
with a network name and a secret), install and platform tables, exit nodes,
and a short build section. Implementation detail stays in docs/.
The flake builds tsng and the tray from source and ships a NixOS module
(services.tsunagi). Dist install notes now show the real `join -n -s` syntax,
and two links that pointed into the old README are redirected.
