Leaving was the only way out of a network, and it is the irreversible one:
it publishes a release and then removes the configuration, the secret, the
network's signed records, its cached hints and the protocol key it used.
What somebody usually wants before a reboot, a trip or an experiment is
the other thing — stop serving it and keep everything.
`tsunagi network stop <id>` closes that network's sessions, takes its
address off the interface and keeps it from starting again. Nothing is
announced, deliberately: to the others this device is away, which is an
ordinary condition they already handle, and the address and name it holds
stay reserved for it. `tsunagi network start <id>` resumes it where it left
off. Both are remembered, so a restart does what the last instruction said
rather than what the last command line happened to say.
Except when the command line says otherwise: `up --network X` starts X
whatever its stored state, because a command naming a network is an
instruction to run it. The banner now says which of the three happened —
`new`, `already here`, or `was stopped; this command starts it` — since
silently, that is a stop that comes back from the dead with nothing to
explain it.
The listing tells the three states apart too: running with its address,
stopped and kept, or configured and waiting for an agent to start. Each row
says what to type to move it, because "stop" and "leave" are a pair that
has to be easy to tell apart before the irreversible one is typed.
The local control protocol is 11.
Covered end to end against a running agent: stopping leaves it configured
and says so, stopping twice is the state asked for rather than an error,
starting brings it back, and the secret afterwards is the one from before —
so it is the same network and not a lookalike.

Two reports of the same shape: a network was left and came back after a
restart, and `network join` asked for a secret it could have invented.
The first was not a bug in leaving. The secret on the start command line
derives the network id, so a command line carrying the secret of a network
you have just left recreates it on the next start — which is right, it says
to join that network, but nothing on screen said so. `up` now marks the
network `· new` or `· already here`, and warns in full when another
configured network answers to the same name. A name is a label; the id is
the identity, and the secret is what decides which of them this is. Said at
the moment it happens it is obvious; discovered later in a status report it
is a mystery, which is exactly how it went.
The second was an omission: `up` had learned to invent a secret and
`network join` had not, so the quickest possible thing — a network with
somebody for as long as it is needed, then gone — still needed a secret
generated first. Both now resolve a bare name the same way: the one network
of that name this device already has, or a fresh random secret when there
is none. It is printed in full, with the single line the other person can
paste as it stands, endpoint id included, because a secret nobody can read
is a network nobody can join.
The id is printed in full by both answers now. The shortened form belongs in
a report, where it is read; this one gets copied into the next command.
Covered end to end against a running agent: joining with no secret prints a
secret and a pasteable command with a peer in it, and joining a name this
device already has resumes that network instead of making another that
merely looks the same.
