ab b4f3e57c8d Implement fast userspace multihop mesh routing
Replace the one-intermediate-peer relay with protocol-scoped connectivity
graphs and precomputed shortest-path/ECMP forwarding snapshots. Independent
transport readers forward opaque transit frames without a plugin or TUN
round trip. Carry source, destination, a bounded hop limit and stable flow
tags; preserve end-to-end WireGuard links across topology changes.

Classify IP flows before encryption and preserve their tags through the
WireGuard pending queue. Add offline four-agent path-change coverage, loop
and isolation tests, and an opt-in release forwarding microbenchmark. Bump
control/data ALPNs while preserving persistent network identities and state.

Also include the pending Windows Mainline idle-timeout fix and its regression
test, using a reproducible vendored dependency patch.

Validation: fmt, workspace Clippy with warnings denied, and 307 release tests
passed. Two pre-existing Windows SQLite wipe failures were excluded; public
DHT and the manual benchmark remain ignored by default. The forwarding
microbenchmark measured 103 ns (64 B) and 202 ns (1280 B) per transit packet,
excluding encryption and socket I/O.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 60e6b263d1 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.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 75b37fdda3 Resolve overlay members by name
`--dns` serves a zone for the network's members, built from signed state,
so a member that is switched off still resolves — its claim outlived the
session. IPv4 only, as agreed: the IPv6 overlay address derives from a
key that travels in live announcements, so it cannot be answered for an
absent member, and answering for some and not others depending on who is
online is worse than not answering.

On Linux the agent tells systemd-resolved where to ask, over D-Bus.
SetLinkDNSEx carries a port, which is why the server needs neither port
53 nor CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE; the suffix goes in as a routing domain and
the link's default route is cleared, so this never becomes the resolver
for anything else. The setting is keyed to the overlay interface, which
goes with the agent, so it cleans itself up.

That step needs permission CAP_NET_ADMIN does not give — resolved asks
polkit, and polkit decides by user, not by capability — so it is
reported as its own kind of failure with its own remedy. The server runs
regardless and status prints the exact dig line: the automatic part is
what is missing, not the feature.

The zone name is the user's to choose. One shadowing a real public
domain is reported and then used, because that is a decision; the
warning knows the IANA list, says something different about `.local`
where the clash is with mDNS, and stays quiet for names reserved for
private use.

Two bugs found by running it, both in the supervisor and neither
reachable from a unit test, so tests/dns_service.rs drives the real
binary. It bound to the allocated overlay address without checking that
address was on an interface — with --no-tun it never is — and left the
feature silently dead; it now tries the overlay first and falls back to
loopback. And it compared the address it got against the address it
wanted, which never matched when the preferred one could not be bound,
so it tore the listener down every two seconds; it now compares what it
tried.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 240e471c88 Answer DNS questions about the overlay
The zone and the server, without any of the operating system yet.

`dns::zone` decides what the answer is and knows nothing about packets
or sockets, so the parts worth getting right are testable on their own:
which names exist, that a neighbouring name like `evillab` is not inside
`lab`, and the difference between a name that is absent and one that
exists with nothing of the type asked for. Getting that last one wrong
would teach a resolver to stop asking for the A record it could have
had.

Names come from signed state, which is the point: a member that is
switched off still resolves, because its claim outlived the session.
Only IPv4 is served. The IPv6 overlay address derives from a WireGuard
key that travels in live announcements and is not in signed state, so it
cannot be answered for an absent member, and answering for some members
and not others depending on who happens to be online is worse than not
answering.

`dns::server` puts that on the wire with simple-dns, which is already in
the tree through iroh — a packet codec rather than a server framework,
which is the right size for answering A records from memory. respond()
goes from bytes to bytes so everything done to a packet is tested
without a socket.

It is authoritative for one zone and refuses everything else: no
recursion, no forwarding, no cache, so pointing a resolver here can
never make it a path to the outside. A message that is not a question
gets no reply at all, rather than making this a reflector for anyone who
can spoof a source address, and ANY is answered as an address question
rather than by dumping the zone. Answers too large for the client's UDP
limit are truncated so a resolver retries over TCP instead of waiting;
TCP reads are length-checked before allocating, timed out, and bounded
in number.

The zone is shared rather than copied in, so a member joining is one
write instead of a rebind that would drop questions in flight.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 43e8ac8159 Make identity something you can look at and change
`id` now shows what this device is — the key it signs with, the name it
answers to, the secret of every network it has joined — and changes all
of it. One shape throughout: name a thing to see it, name it with a value
to change it. `secret` folded in as `id secret generate`, and the path
flags became global so they work either side of a subcommand.

There is no separate signing certificate to show: the endpoint key is
what signs records, and the report says so rather than leaving it to be
guessed.

Secrets appear in `id`, which is where you go to ask for one, and stay
out of `status`, logs, `Debug` and anything sent to a peer.

The hostname is now a signed claim, which is what makes changing it a
revocation. Records are one per author, so a new version replaces the
whole claim and no replica can keep the old name standing. RecordBody
generalised to Claim { address, range, hostname } + Release for that,
with the signing domain bumped; a name is bounded and canonicalised, and
a non-canonical one is rejected rather than repaired, because a repaired
version is not what its author signed. Two members claiming one name
resolve it like an address: lowest id wins, computed identically
everywhere. A member with only a name now has a record too, so an
IPv6-only network finally has a durable roster and an absent member can
be named rather than shown as a bare id.

Replacing the signing key is allowed and does not break the store. The
outgoing key signs a release for every network first, so the address and
name it held are freed rather than reserved forever to a key nobody has
— nothing can sign for a retired author, and by design no authority
could overrule one. Identity and releases commit together: a crash
between them would leave the old key gone and unable to sign what it
owed. It refuses while an agent holds the directory, rather than failing
on the lock with a message that says nothing about what to do.

The version counter is keyed by author as well as network, so a
replacement key starts its own sequence. The migration drops records
written under the previous signing domain instead of carrying rows that
every read must reject and that look exactly like corruption.

The hostname defaults to the machine's own name. Also fixed a
pre-existing flaky test: 40 random authors in a /24 collide by the
birthday problem often enough that its threshold failed about one run in
six, so the authors are fixed now and it tests a property rather than a
coin flip.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 3e83e33313 Grade and colour what doctor reports
Findings now carry a level: ok, warn or FAIL. The distinction between the
middle two is the part worth getting right — warn is something the agent
runs without and that the user can fix from the line printed beneath it,
FAIL is something it cannot work around. A diagnostic that grades those
the wrong way round is worse than an ungraded one, so each check states
which it is.

The clearest case is storage: the same failure on the state directory is
FAIL and on the cache directory is warn, because one is mandatory and the
other is disposable. That asymmetry is central to the design and the
report now shows it. The control plane check also became real — it binds
a UDP socket rather than asserting that it could.

Colour is redundant by construction. Every row carries its grade as a
word, so the report reads identically when the escapes are gone: piped to
a file, on a dumb terminal, under NO_COLOR, or to someone who cannot
distinguish the colours. anstream decides whether they survive, which
also gets virtual terminal processing right on Windows; it and anstyle
were already in the tree through clap.

What is reported and how it looks are separated, so the rendering is
tested without a terminal: that a plain render contains no escapes, that
a styled one says the same thing once they are stripped, that columns
line up across sections whose labels differ in length, and that the
summary names the worst thing found.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 b23e832a73 Manage the overlay interface instead of asking for it
The agent printed a list of `ip` commands and asked a human to run them.
That is fragile in the way hand-held setup always is: a persistent TUN
does not survive a reboot, a changed address allocation needs another
manual round, and a run that died leaves a half-configured interface the
next run trips over.

On Linux the agent now creates the interface, sets the MTU, brings it up
and assigns both overlay addresses itself, over netlink in process. No
`ip` is invoked, so nothing this path does can be influenced by PATH, a
shell, or anything a remote peer said.

Cleanup stops being an action. The interface is tied to an open file
descriptor and is deliberately not persistent, so the kernel removes it
when the agent goes — cleanly, by panic, by SIGKILL or by power loss
alike. That also retires `keep_addr_on_down` and `nodad`, which existed
only because an interface nobody held open lost carrier.

Anything still left behind is repaired rather than tripped over: an
abandoned TUN is replaced along with its stale addresses. Two cases
refuse instead of guessing — a link that is not a TUN, because a name
collision is no reason to destroy somebody's bridge, and a TUN another
process holds open, because that is a working overlay belonging to
someone else.

CAP_NET_ADMIN is kept out of the effective set except around the calls
that use it. Two facts shape how: capabilities are per thread, and
netlink checks the credentials of whichever thread calls sendmsg, which
with an async client is the connection task rather than the caller. So
netlink runs on one dedicated thread with a current-thread runtime where
nothing is polled outside a block_on, and opening the TUN descriptor is
synchronous with no await between the guard and its release.

The decision of what to change is a pure function, tested on every
platform; only the execution is behind the provisioner trait. macOS and
Windows get an implementation that refuses with an explanation and falls
back to attaching to a prepared interface, plus a mock host the tests
drive the whole plugin lifecycle against.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 21be7e9b44 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.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 ea7aaa2b69 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.

tsunagiandClaude Opus 5 7cea9afa37 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.
