Meet everybody, not just the one you were told about
A device pointed at one member talked to that member and nobody else. The only candidates an agent had were the ones on its command line and whatever the cache remembered, so the network was a star around whichever peer happened to be typed — while the signed state sitting in front of it listed every other member by name. Two sources fix that, and both produce candidates rather than facts. Every author of a signed record is somebody to try. Those records reach us through anybody, so a member is known to exist, and by id, long before it is ever spoken to; an id with no address is still dialable where the endpoint's own discovery can resolve one. And members tell each other where they have seen the others. A `ControlMessage::Peers` carries each member with the addresses the sender observes for it — including the sender's own, which is the one thing nobody else can pass on — in the same `ip:`/`relay:` spelling the cache already uses, so one decoder serves both and neither can drift. An agent that only ever accepts has no candidates of its own and is exactly the one everybody was pointed at, so the addresses come from the live sessions as well as the candidate list. None of it authenticates anything. An introduction is not a vouching: the handshake decides membership as before, and a candidate from a member is tried exactly like one from a bootstrap entry or the cache. It is also deliberately the shape a distributed hash table lookup would return, so that becomes another source beside these rather than a redesign. With the mesh pairwise, the relay is what it was meant to be: the way to the one peer that cannot be reached directly, not the way the network is held together. Covered by three agents where two are told only about the first: each ends up with both of the others, and the one nobody mentioned arrives as an introduction.

Reach a peer through one that can reach both
Two members of a mesh could both reach a third and not each other, and that pair was simply lost to one another: a packet for a peer with no data link was counted undeliverable and dropped. Now it goes through a member that has both. What travels is not routes. Each agent says only which peers *it* has a live link with — first-hand, over the control plane, one hop, never a claim about somebody else's reachability — and everybody computes their own way through from that. The choice is local and deterministic (the lowest endpoint id among the peers that have a link to the destination), so there is nothing to agree, nothing to elect, and two agents may well route each direction differently. It is soft state: repeated while it holds, expired when it stops, so a relay that disappears stops being chosen without anybody revoking anything. The one in the middle carries bytes it cannot read. A datagram is wrapped with the peer it is for, and unwrapped on the other side into the link for the peer it came *from* — which matters, because a packet attributed to the carrier would be dropped as coming from an address the carrier does not hold. The tunnel stays end to end, and the relayed datagram goes link in, link out: it never reaches the middle's interface, so no routing, forwarding or firewall setting of that host is involved. One hop, so a loop cannot form without counting anything. A protocol is handed one link per peer that now outlives the paths under it. A direct link that dies, a hop that changes, a direct link that comes back: none of it tears down a tunnel any more, and the size a protocol may use does not change with the path. Where there was never a direct link at all, the link exists anyway as long as a hop does, so a peer reachable only through somebody still gets a tunnel. The data ALPN is `tsunagi/data/2`: every datagram now carries a tag saying whether it is direct, for somebody else, or from somebody else. The local control protocol is 13, for the relay counters — what this device carried for others is their traffic on its uplink, and that should not be invisible. `status` says `via <peer>` on a path through somebody. Fairness between the peers a relay carries for is deliberately not here yet: the queues are bounded and the counters are what a limit would be built on. Tested with fake links for the mechanics, and end to end with three real agents — two that cannot reach each other directly, a real WireGuard packet crossing through the middle. The one arrangement a single host cannot produce by itself is a pair that cannot see each other, so that is a `testing`-only switch on the agent config and exists in no release build.

Tell being away from giving up
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.

Make a network on the spot, and say which one you just started
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.

Serve a zone per network, and make a network in one command
Twice now a report has read "dns not serving" and been taken for a broken resolver. It was accurate both times: the agent had been started without `--dns`. That is the flag's fault, not the reader's — a resolver that disappears because one word was not retyped is worse than none, since the names simply stop working. So the setting belongs to the device now: `--dns` turns it on and it stays on, `tsunagi dns off` turns it off, and `tsunagi dns on` turns it on for an agent that is already running, without restarting it. `tsunagi dns` says what it is doing, or what it will do at the next start when nothing is running. One agent has one identity and as many networks as it likes, so one DNS service serves them all: each network is a zone named after it, and joining or leaving one changes what resolves with no restart. A question carries a name and not the network it belongs to, so the suffix decides and nothing is shared between zones — a member of one network is not a name in another. `--dns-zone` is gone with that: there is no single zone to name any more, and a network name may contain dots, so `--network lab.internal` is how you get `music.lab.internal`. It listens on loopback only, where it always could have. Binding the overlay address put the zones in front of the whole mesh, and with several networks on one agent that would have answered one network's questions about another's names. That made a gap plain: a second network on an agent had no addresses at all, because the configured range belongs to whichever network took it first, so its members had nothing to allocate from and no names to answer with. A second network now uses the range **derived from its own network id** — every member derives the same one from something they all already have, so it is an agreement rather than a local invention. It is held back for a moment first, because a network that already exists has a range of its own and a joiner should adopt it rather than argue; that wait is what keeps "the first member settles it" true. And a network needs no ceremony to start. `tsunagi up --network lab` with no secret resolves the obvious way: the one network of that name this device already has, or — when there is none — a fresh random secret, printed in full with the single line to send the others. That is the ad-hoc case, one person makes a network and passes the command round, and it was previously two steps with a flag people could not find. The secret is printed only when the agent invented it, because then there is nowhere else to read it from; one that was supplied is not echoed. Two networks of one name and no secret is the one case with no answer, and it says so rather than choosing. Releasing now also stops this agent claiming again. The periodic check would otherwise publish a fresh claim in the moment between the goodbye and the teardown, turning a release into a hello nobody asked for. Exercised with the real binary: a zone per network as a second one is joined into a running agent, the resolver switched on and off while it runs, and an ad-hoc network printing its secret and the line to share.

Let a device leave a network, and start over
Joining was one command and leaving was nothing at all: a network went into `state.sqlite` on the first `up` and stayed there, so a mistyped secret left a second network beside the working one with no way to remove it but editing the database by hand. `tsunagi network` lists what this device belongs to. `tsunagi network leave <id>` publishes a signed release first — while the agent is running and its sessions are up — and only then deactivates the network and removes it. The order is the whole point: signed state has no expiry, so the tombstone is the only thing that ever frees the address and the name for the others, and after the network is gone there is nothing left here to sign one with. Peers pass it on, so a member that was away hears it from them rather than from an agent that has already left. With no agent running nothing can sign or send, and the command says so instead of quietly succeeding: `--offline` drops the network locally and says plainly that the others keep the old claim. The outcome always distinguishes "published to nobody" from "not published at all", because they leave the network in different states. A network is named by its id, and a unique prefix will do. The name is refused on purpose: two networks can share one — that is exactly the situation this command exists for — and picking between them for the user is how the wrong one gets left. The author's version counter deliberately survives. Rejoining the same network with the same key must continue above the release, or every replica that holds the release would treat the new claim as stale and the returning member would be invisible for good. The protocol key does not survive: rejoining is joining, not resuming, and coming back with a key the network was told to let go claims an identity nobody holds any more. Plugins learn about it through a new `on_network_forgotten`, which is about what outlives a session rather than what a deactivation tears down. A released member also drops out of the roster `status` prints. The tombstone stays in the record set — a replica that never heard of it would otherwise reinstate the old claim — but listing an author that gave everything up as a member made leaving look like a peer that had broken. `tsunagi wipe` is the other half: it empties both directories, so the device identity, every network, every signed record and everything a protocol kept beside them go at once and the next start is a stranger. It refuses while an agent holds the directory, and refuses a directory with no `state.sqlite` in it, so a mistyped `--state-dir` cannot take somebody's documents with it. Without `--yes` it only prints what it would remove and what membership would be lost. It is not a goodbye and says so: leaving the networks first is what frees their addresses. The local control protocol is 8 — the socket carries a `Leave` request now, since only the running agent can publish the release. Exercised end to end against real agents: leaving by prefix released the address to a connected peer, leaving by name was refused, `--offline` was refused until asked for explicitly, wipe was refused while the agent ran, and the directory afterwards had no identity in it.

Bound every wait that could last for ever
Nine orphaned test processes were found still running from the day before, three of them spinning on a core each for twenty hours. The code they ran is several changes old and the mesh test passes twenty times over now, so the wedge itself is gone — but nothing in the way it was waited on was bounded, which is why a wedge lasted a day instead of failing a run. The harness enforced its deadline only between probes. A probe that never returned — one call into a wedged runtime, which is exactly what a status request is — waited for ever inside the deadline it was supposed to obey. The probe is now bounded too, so the same wedge fails the test in thirty seconds. Shutdown claimed to be bounded and was not. The plugins had a grace period; the network runtimes, the accept loop, the plugin request loop and the endpoint close did not, and a peer that stops reading is enough to hold any of them open. Each now gets a grace period and is aborted after it. The overlay packet loop was not stopped at all: it ends when the device reports end of stream, which a live interface never does, so it outlived the interface it was reading. And a plugin's grace period abandoned the future without stopping the task behind it, so the helper is public and `wg-quic` uses it on its own runtime. The local control socket was unbounded in both directions. A wedged agent left `tsunagi status` hanging with nothing on screen and no way out but Ctrl-C; it now says the agent did not answer, after five seconds, and falls back to the state store as it already did for a socket that refuses a connection. On the serving side, a connection that sends no request no longer holds a task open. Tests cover the mechanism — a task that stops on its own is not aborted, one that ignores the grace is cut off and drops what it held — and both sides of the change in behaviour: a probe that never answers fails its deadline, and a silent agent is reported rather than waited out. Also: the binary opts out of rustdoc, since it shares a name with the library and `cargo doc` cannot put both in one directory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Describe the layers as they now stand
The module table still had the plugin inside the core and no mention of the overlay or the DNS view, and the stale path in the testing notes pointed at a directory that had moved. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Split the system level and the command line into a workspace
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.

Allocate IPv4 addresses and keep them, as signed state
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Make the overlay dual stack
Every member now also derives an IPv4 address, from the same inputs as its IPv6 one, into 100.64.0.0/10 by default. The range is configurable and IPv4 can be turned off with --no-ipv4. IPv4 is honestly weaker than IPv6 here and the code says so. A 64 bit interface identifier makes an IPv6 collision impossible in practice; IPv4 has nothing like that room, and in a /10 with 50 members two will derive the same address about 0.03% of the time. A mesh with no coordinator cannot allocate around that, so a collision is detected and resolved instead: the member whose public key sorts lower keeps the address, a rule every member computes identically and therefore agrees on. The other keeps IPv6 and is flagged in the status. IPv6 always works; IPv4 almost always works and degrades predictably. Routing and address-ownership enforcement now cover both families: a packet goes to the peer that owns its destination, and a decrypted packet is dropped unless its source is an address derived for the peer that sent it, IPv4 included. Six new tests, among them a real IPv4 packet crossing a tunnel next to an IPv6 one, a spoofed IPv4 source being dropped, and an IPv6-only overlay.

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> |

Implement the WireGuard data plane plugin
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Proof-of-concept mesh agent library over iroh
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |
