Plain WG and QUIC can be blocked or severely degraded while the iroh control
connection still works. Add an awg carrier with one independent UDP socket,
WireGuard engine and randomized masking profile per network/peer attempt.
The smaller endpoint id negotiates fresh outer keys, PSK, header protection,
header ranges, padding and signature templates through private authenticated
control messages. Restart or fallback reentry generates a new profile;
ordinary rekeying preserves the current profile. No pair parameters enter
signed state, capabilities, persistent storage or public message events.
Private payloads and serialized control buffers redact and zeroize themselves.
Adapt the bounded packet masking engine from RunaRoo/AmneziaWG-RS at commit
51579a7d6e8882d1d8d6d00822f09e18a9423b73, retaining its Apache license and
provenance. Declare WTFPL AND Apache-2.0 in package metadata to cover both
new glue and the adapted source. Reuse boringtun instead of upstream's Node/global executors and
interface machinery. This is Tsunagi AWG wire version 1, with standard WG
headers restored before authentication; external Amnezia server compatibility
is not implemented. DNS/SIP signature generators vary fields instead of
replaying captures. Each attempt closes independently, bounds allocation,
queues, candidates and fragment assemblies, and supports the full 64 KiB
carrier contract using UDP packets at most 1200 bytes. Yield between fragment
batches so large messages do not starve local socket readers.
Keep carrier encryption separate from end-to-end tunnels so multihop relays
still forward opaque ciphertext. The system owns the sole interface, signed
addresses and admission. Plugins receive neither network secrets nor paths.
Expose a bounded opaque control sender at the transport boundary; core control
messages remain outside protocol crates. Optional STUN on the pair's actual
socket adds IPv4 public candidates in CLI direct/relay mode, with a finite
query deadline and an off/alternate-server option. Local mode remains offline.
Symmetric NAT, IPv6-only paths and arbitrary UDP blocking can still require
fallback; no AWG-over-QUIC or hidden AWG relay is introduced.
Default carrier order is wg, awg, wg-quic, tcp-tls. Advance the fallback cycle
after setup failures and sustained runtime loss, even after earlier cooldowns
expire. Authenticated delivery probes traverse the actual encrypted tunnel,
fit the interface MTU and never enter the TUN. Retire after a 20-second warmup
and at least 60% loss over at least 15 completed recent observations. Preserve
logical tunnels and control sessions while explicitly closing physical links,
including TCP reader/writer tasks. Retain the newest private probe settings
across independently queued control negotiation and inbound installation.
CLI/tray reports keep end-to-end protocol and actual carrier separate.
Control ALPN/version becomes tsunagi/ctrl/6 for the new private message;
upgrade all members together. Data ALPN/envelopes remain version 5. Network
identity derivation, transcript encoding, device identities, signed records,
saved network configuration and release versions are unchanged.
Validation on Linux through nix develop:
- cargo fmt --all -- --check
- cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --locked --workspace --all-targets, with the inherited
TSUNAGI_CONTROL_SOCKET override removed: 504 passed, 2 pre-existing ignored
Tests use real iroh membership, SQLite, UDP sockets and WireGuard encryption
with memory TUNs. Cover three independent pairs, full-size IP and carrier
frames, restart freshness/socket release, 80% carrier datagram loss, fallback
to real iroh, fresh retries with working delivery checks, unequal small MTUs,
malformed negotiations/profiles, role and resource bounds, probe forgery and
STUN parsing. Earlier compile/lint iterations and focused tests caught RNG
API/initializer mistakes, a retry assertion racing path installation, and a
large-fragment burst overflowing loopback buffers; corrected before these
successful checks. Normalized upstream license line endings for diff checks.
Public NAT/STUN connectivity, actual DPI effectiveness, WAN performance,
per-pair memory measurement, macOS/Windows, privileged TUN operations and
manual tray interaction were not exercised.
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 ...`.

A member can offer itself as an exit node per network (off by default); it is
announced over the control channel (ctrl/4) once its iptables masquerade and
forward rules are in place, with a warning when kernel forwarding is off. A
device picks one member as its exit node via policy routing, with the agent's
own uid exempt from the tunnel; if the exit node disappears the rules stay
and traffic is dropped, loudly reported. CLI: `network exit-node`,
`exit-node`; tray: tile checkbox, warnings and a per-device icon with
confirmation. Linux only.

LAN game discovery previously dropped IPv4 broadcasts at TUN ingress. Carry
limited and subnet-directed UDP broadcasts to authenticated, opted-in members
of the source network, including destinations reached through mesh relays.
Preserve the original IP/UDP bytes and deliver received broadcasts only to the
local TUN; never reflood them or expose another pair's plaintext at transit.
Build immutable recipient snapshots on address and participation changes. The
origin sends one ordinary end-to-end encrypted copy per recipient; the existing
fast, bounded-hop transport router remains unchanged. Validate UDP framing,
source ownership and destination admission without game-specific port rules.
Keep network domains isolated and refuse implicit gateways to physical LANs.
The separate broadcast policy/domain layer is the extension point for future
authorized subnet exports; physical capture, bridging and LAN deduplication
are deliberately not implemented yet.
Persist default-on participation independently for each local network. Add
join --no-broadcast/--broadcast and network broadcast <id> [on|off], including
live updates and authenticated announcements. Joining without a flag preserves
the saved choice. Opt-out stops local origination and delivery, while opaque
unicast transit for other members keeps working.
Migrate SQLite schema 3 to 4 without replacing identities or signed state.
Use control ALPN 3 and local IPC protocol 14 for the new announcement/request
shapes; update peers and restart running agents together. The data ALPN 4
envelope remains unchanged. No release version bump, tag or push is included.
Document agent-owned commits in AGENTS.md: short English subjects, explanatory
bodies, scoped staging, honest validation, and repository-local fallback author
AB <ab@hexor.cy> only when an effective name/email is missing. Release actions
remain the user's responsibility.
Validation on Windows: cargo fmt --all -- --check; cargo check --locked
--workspace --all-targets; cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets --
-D warnings; release workspace/all-target tests: 313 passed. The two existing
SQLite wipe failures (a_wipe_removes_everything_and_the_next_start_is_a_stranger
and wiping_twice_is_as_ordinary_as_wiping_once) were explicitly skipped; the
public-DHT smoke test and forwarding benchmark remain ignored by default.
New coverage exercises real iroh/WireGuard multihop fanout, single delivery,
runtime opt-out, unicast replies, domain isolation, malformed input and schema
migration. TUNs are in-memory; actual games and OS adapter selection were not
tested.
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.
