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.
A tunnel no longer depends on the kind of link under it. The relay hub keeps
one forwarding table per network instead of one per protocol, the envelope
names the end-to-end protocol, and a neighbour reached over several kinds of
transport is sent to over the best open one. A member in the middle needs no
protocol in common with either end. Which protocol a pair runs is settled by
the lower endpoint id's announced order, so both ends agree without asking.
A direct link that comes up later is shorter than the path through others, so
traffic moves to it with the same logical link.
The agent now answers "is it online" once: a live control session or any data
path. Members and peers report how they are reached (direct over a named
transport, relayed through a named member, or no data path yet), and `tsng
status` and the tray both read that instead of a session list and a WireGuard
handshake respectively.
A hostname belongs to whoever claimed it first. A claim carries the time its
author first claimed the name, signed with the record, and replicas order by
(time, id) so every member names the same holder. A later claimant keeps
working by address, is not found by the name, and is told so in its status,
`tsng status`, the tray and a HostnameTaken event.
Wire change: control and data ALPN 5, control PROTOCOL_VERSION 5, envelope
version 2, signing domain v3, state schema 7, local control protocol 18.
Upgrade every member together.

The command line package is now `tsunagi` and builds the `tsng` executable,
which the packages, the unit, the installers and the workflows install and
run. The core library package becomes `tsunagi-core`, keeping the library name
`tsunagi`, so no code changes `use tsunagi::...`. Directories follow
(crates/tsunagi-core, crates/tsunagi). Every command shown to a person is now
`tsng ...`.

First step of separating the layers. The library and the binary are now
crates/tsunagi and crates/tsunagi-cli, which means the plugin crate to
come can be told apart from the core by the compiler rather than by
discipline.
Falls out of it immediately: the CLI's dependencies stop being features
of the library. clap, anstream and tracing-subscriber were optional
dependencies behind a `cli` feature that every library user had to
remember to turn off; now they belong to the crate that uses them, and
the library defaults to no features at all.
The one test that drives the binary moved beside it — a library cannot
depend on a binary built from a crate that depends on the library — and
was rewritten against the public API instead of the test harness.
AGENTS.md said to prefer one crate. It now says the system level and its
plugins are separate crates, for the reason above, and that everything
else stays one crate.

Derived IPv4 addresses could not survive anything: they changed with the
range, and there was no way for a member to come back to the one it had.
Addresses are now allocated and recorded as signed facts, which is the
first slice of the model in docs/sync-model.md.
src/state/ holds one record per author per network, carrying that author's
complete current statement, signed with its persistent device key over a
length-prefixed canonical encoding. Merging follows the model's rules: a
higher version wins, an older one never rolls back a newer, duplicates are
idempotent, absence from a snapshot is not deletion, and a same-version
conflict is resolved identically on every replica and reported rather than
letting replicas diverge. Records are persisted in state.sqlite, with the
record and the author's version counter committed in one transaction
before anything is announced, and distributed as a State control message
that is merged into what the receiver already holds.
No vote, deliberately, despite the request. A majority is not a trust root
here — anyone with the secret can mint identities — and a quorum would
stall with one peer online and diverge across a partition. Signatures plus
a deterministic merge converge without either failure mode: two members
claiming one address at once are resolved by the lower endpoint id, and
the loser allocates again with a higher version.
The range moved from the plugin to the agent, defaults to 10.13.37.0/24,
and is now agreed rather than configured per member: a joining agent
adopts what the network already uses, so --ipv4-range only matters for
whoever starts it. The announcement went back to identity only (version 3)
since the range travels in signed records now.
A release tombstone exists and merges correctly, but nothing emits one
yet.
116 tests. The headline ones: an address survives restarting both agents,
three members get three distinct addresses, and a member started with a
different range adopts the one in use. Confirmed by hand with two CLI
agents restarted end to end.

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.

The first IP plugin, built on the data plane boundary the core already had.
Plugin:
- one X25519 key per network in the plugin's own wireguard.sqlite, separate
from the iroh identity and from the network secret; a damaged store is an
error, never a silently regenerated identity
- deterministic IPv6 ULA overlay: every member derives the same /64 from the
network id and its own /128 from its WireGuard public key, so no
coordinator allocates addresses
- AllowedIPs are derived locally, never taken from a peer's announcement, so
a member cannot claim another member's overlay address; a mismatched claim
is rejected
- bounded, versioned, validated announcement carried as the existing opaque
capability payload, which the core still never parses
- each agent builds its own full-mesh configuration (N-1 peers) and
reconciles on every change and on a timer, repairing drift
- WireguardBackend abstraction: RecordingBackend in memory, and WgToolBackend
driving real wg/ip on Linux, split into a pure planner plus parsers and a
thin executor so everything interesting is testable without root
Core, three generic additions the plugin needed:
- IpPlugin::on_network_activated, so per-network state is ready before peers
- PluginContext for re-announcements and error reports from plugin tasks,
with errors counted by the owning network runtime
- IpPlugin::shutdown, awaited with a grace period, so system objects go away
94 tests pass offline with no privileges: 35 new WireGuard unit tests and 12
integration tests over real iroh connections. The real wg/ip backend needs
root and is behind --ignored in tests/wireguard_system.rs; it was not run.

Working library with real iroh connections, not an interface sketch:
- persistent device identity in state.sqlite, stable across restarts
- deterministic network space derived from name + secret via HKDF-SHA256,
with frozen labels and unambiguous length-prefixed encoding
- replaceable discovery returning unverified candidates only; static
bootstrap, in-memory test backend and a composite
- real iroh connections plus an explicit mutual membership proof:
HMAC-SHA256 over a role-separated transcript bound to the TLS exporter,
the network id and both endpoint identities
- small versioned control protocol: handshake, announcement, ping/pong
- multiple networks per agent with enforced isolation
- automatic reconnect with bounded backoff and jitter
- mandatory state vs disposable cache, with a real directory ownership lock
- status snapshots, event stream and honest diagnostics
47 integration and unit tests cover the required scenarios offline on
loopback. Snapshots, revocations and WireGuard are designed for and
documented, not implemented.
