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.
