Revert the GitHub workflow guard to server_url

Misdiagnosed the earlier report: Gitea was correctly running its own
.gitea/workflows copy, not this .github one, so the server_url guard was fine.
The switch to a GITHUB_RELEASE repo variable then made the workflow skip on
GitHub itself, since that variable is not set there.

Put both job guards back to `github.server_url == 'https://github.com'`, which
runs on GitHub with no manual setup and skips on Gitea (its .gitea copy is the
one that runs). No repository variable is needed.

-**Not implemented yet.** macOS has no provisioner; `--no-tun` is the way to
-run it. The control plane and tunnels are unaffected. The decision logic
-that says *what* to change is shared and tested on every platform.
+On macOS the agent creates a `utun` interface, configures it with `ifconfig`
+and `route`, and points the system resolver at the overlay by writing
+`/etc/resolver/<network>` files (which carry a port, so the DNS server needs no
+privileged socket). All of this needs **root**: macOS has no per-capability
+grant like Linux, and a `utun` plus `/etc/resolver` are root-only. The kernel
+assigns the interface its `utunN` name, so the name derived from the network id
+is only a request and the real one is adopted once the interface is up.
+
+Run it as root — `sudo tsunagi up` for a quick start, or install it as a root
+**LaunchDaemon** for the native always-on deployment. As a daemon the agent runs
+unprivileged commands (`join`, `status`, `dns`, `network`) over its control
+socket like any other platform; the socket lives at `/var/run/tsunagi/agent.sock`
+and the stores at `/var/db/tsunagi`, both fixed system paths so they do not
+depend on whose shell started `sudo`. A ready-to-edit plist and install notes
+are in [dist/macos/](dist/macos/). The broadcast route is installed; the
+inbound-UDP firewall allowance (a `pf` anchor) is not yet, so `status` reports
+that half as incomplete and names what to allow by hand. The decision logic that

+//! Telling the macOS resolver to send some questions here, through

+//!
+//! macOS reads one file per domain out of `/etc/resolver`: a file named after
+//! a domain, containing the `nameserver` and `port` to send that domain's
+//! questions to, makes the system resolver a *scoped* resolver for exactly
+//! that suffix and nothing else (see `resolver(5)`). That is the same contract
+//! the systemd-resolved and NRPT publishers arrange on the other platforms:
+//! route these suffixes to this server, and claim nothing else.
+//!
+//! # Why a port, and so no privileged socket
+//!
+//! A resolver file carries a `port`, so the server does not have to sit on 53
+//! and the agent needs nothing like `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE`. It can serve on a
+//! high port and still be reached for its suffixes.
+//!
+//! # Tagged, reversible, and never clobbering
+//!
+//! Every file this publisher writes begins with a marker line, so it only ever
+//! replaces or removes files it wrote itself: a pre-existing `/etc/resolver`
+//! entry a user set up by hand is left untouched. The files are removed when
+//! the resolver is turned off and on shutdown; a crash leaves them behind, and
+//! the next apply for the same domains overwrites them.
+//!
+//! # Privilege
+//!
+//! Writing under `/etc/resolver` needs root. A permission error is reported as
+//! a refusal — the kind of failure a person has to act on — rather than a

+//! Broadcast host rules on Linux: a netlink route and an `iptables` rule.
+//!
+//! The route is added by the netlink thread the interface provisioner already
+//! owns (see [`super::super::provision`]), because that thread is the only one
+//! that ever holds `CAP_NET_ADMIN`. It belongs to the interface and goes away
+//! with it.
+//!
+//! The firewall allowance is a rule in the `INPUT` chain, inserted at the top
+//! so a default-deny chain further down cannot drop discovery replies first:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! iptables -I INPUT 1 -i <if> -p udp -s <range> -m comment --comment tsunagi:<if> -j ACCEPT
+//! ```
+//!
+//! `iptables` is a program, not a netlink call, so it is looked up in fixed
+//! system directories rather than on `PATH`, and its arguments are built from
+//! values this agent computed. It works with both the legacy backend and
+//! `iptables-nft`. A host with only `nft` or `firewalld` has no `iptables`;
+//! that is reported on the firewall half and the route is still installed.
+//!
+//! The rule carries a comment tag. That is how a rule left behind by a crashed
+//! run is found and replaced, and why nothing else in the chain is ever
+//! deleted.

+//! written the firewall half reports itself as missing with what to allow by
+//! hand, and the route is still installed. Failure is contained: neither half
+//! can stop the agent, and `status` shows exactly which is in place.
+//!
+//! `route` is a program, not a system call, so it is run by absolute path from

+//! Host rules that let a game's LAN discovery reach the overlay interface.
+//!
+//! Broadcast fanout happens at local TUN ingress (see [`super::broadcast`]),
+//! so a limited broadcast only reaches Tsunagi if the operating system routes
+//! it through the overlay interface, and a discovery *reply* only reaches the
+//! game if the host firewall lets it in. Left to the user that is two manual
+//! steps per host that nobody remembers, so when a network's broadcast is on
+//! the agent installs exactly these two things for the interface it owns:
+//!
+//! * a `255.255.255.255/32` route through the overlay interface, with the
+//!   overlay address as its preferred source, so the game's discovery packet
+//!   leaves with a source address the router recognises;
+//! * an inbound firewall allowance for **UDP only**, from the overlay range
+//!   only, on that interface only. Replies to a broadcast come from a
+//!   different address than the one the request was sent to, so a stateful
+//!   firewall never matches them to the request. Opening every protocol
+//!   would expose services such as SSH to every member of the network, which
+//!   is not what a game needs.
+//!
+//! # Why this is allowed here
+//!
+//! The architecture says plugins never touch routing or firewall settings,
+//! and nothing a peer announces becomes an OS setting. This is neither: it is
+//! the system level, which owns the interface, configuring that interface from
+//! values it computed itself (the interface name is derived locally, the
+//! address and range come from signed state it already verified). Every object
+//! is tagged `tsunagi:<interface>`, reversible, and removed when broadcast is
+//! turned off, the network leaves, or the agent stops. A crash can leave a
+//! firewall rule behind; the next apply for the same interface removes it.
+//!
+//! # Failure is contained
+//!
+//! Neither step can stop the agent. Each reports its own outcome, so a missing
+//! firewall tool still leaves the route in place and says what is missing.
+//!
+//! # Why a trait
+//!
+//! Linux, Windows and the tests do this very differently, while *what* to
+//! install is the same everywhere and lives in [`BroadcastRulesPlan`] and
+//! [`rules_summary`], tested on every platform.

+//! Broadcast host rules on Windows: a route and a Defender Firewall rule.
+//!
+//! Both are written with the `NetTCPIP` and `NetSecurity` PowerShell modules,
+//! run by absolute path from `%SystemRoot%` like the DNS publisher does: the
+//! in-process alternatives are `unsafe` IP Helper calls this crate forbids.
+//!
+//! * The route is `255.255.255.255/32` on the overlay interface, on-link, with
+//!   metric 1, written to the active store only so it cannot outlive a reboot.
+//!   Windows picks the interface's own address as the source of a packet sent
+//!   along it; with several networks on one interface that is whichever
+//!   address Windows treats as primary, which this cannot choose.
+//! * The firewall rule allows inbound UDP on that interface alias from the
+//!   overlay range only, in every profile. Wintun adapters are usually
+//!   classified as a public network, where inbound UDP is otherwise dropped.
+//!   Its display name is the tag `tsunagi:<interface>`, which is how it is
+//!   found again, replaced and removed.
+//!
+//! Every value in a script is one this agent produced: the interface name is
+//! derived from the network id and the range comes from signed state. They are
+//! still single-quoted and escaped, so nothing could be read as PowerShell
+//! rather than as data. Changing routes and firewall rules needs an elevated
+//! process, which is reported as its own cause.
+//!
+//! This module is compiled everywhere so its script building is tested
+//! everywhere. It could not be run against a real Windows host while it was
+//! written.

+//! Managing the overlay interface on macOS, through utun and `ifconfig`/`route`.
+//!
+//! The shape is the same as the Linux and Windows provisioners: observe what
+//! is there, [`plan_changes`](super::plan_changes) to decide what to do, apply
+//! the difference. Only the mechanisms differ.
+//!
+//! # Creating the interface
+//!
+//! The interface is a `utun` device, created through the `tun` dependency's
+//! safe wrapper — [`open_tun`](super::super::tun) — over the in-kernel
+//! `com.apple.net.utun_control` control socket. No kernel extension and no
+//! Network Extension entitlement is involved; what it needs is root. The
+//! device is not made persistent, so closing the last file descriptor removes
+//! the interface — it goes away when the agent does, however the agent ends.
+//!
+//! # The kernel names the interface, not us
+//!
+//! Unlike Linux and Windows, a utun interface cannot be given an arbitrary
+//! name: it is always `utunN`, and the unit number is assigned by the kernel.
+//! So the name derived from the network id (`tsun…`) is only ever a *request*;
+//! the real name is read back off the device after it is opened, and
+//! everything downstream — the host rules, the resolver publication — uses the
+//! real one. The agent adopts it as soon as the device is created (see
+//! [`Interface`](crate::overlay::Interface)).
+//!
+//! # Configuring it
+//!
+//! Addresses, MTU and routes are applied with `ifconfig` and `route`. On Linux
+//! the same work is done in process over a netlink socket; here there is no
+//! equivalent this crate may call, because the in-process route is raw `ioctl`
+//! and `PF_ROUTE` and that is `unsafe`. The tools are invoked by absolute path
+//! from `/sbin`, so nothing on `PATH` can stand in for them, and every value
+//! handed to them is one this agent derived — an interface name chosen by the
+//! kernel, an address it allocated — never anything a peer said.
+//!
+//! # Observing it
+//!
+//! The interface table is read through `netdev`, a safe wrapper over
+//! `getifaddrs`. An interface is matched by its real `utunN` name, which only
+//! matters on reconfiguration: the first create always makes a fresh device.

+# Running tsunagi on Linux
+
+This archive holds a **static** `tsunagi` binary (musl), so it runs on any
+distribution — Arch, Alpine, NixOS, old glibc systems — with no shared-library
+dependencies. Alongside it are a systemd unit and an installer.
+
+Creating the TUN interface needs `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, and configuring
+systemd-resolved is decided by polkit (by user id, not capability). There are
+three ways to satisfy that; pick one.
+
+## Quick install — systemd service as root
+
+```sh
+sudo ./install.sh
+sudo systemctl enable --now tsunagi
+```
+
+The service runs the agent as root, so the interface, low ports and the
+resolver all just work (root is not subject to polkit). Control it **as root**,
+so the client resolves the same state directory the daemon uses:
+
+```sh
+sudo tsunagi status
+sudo tsunagi join <network-name> <tsn1…secret>
+```
+
+## As your own user — one capability, no root at runtime
+
+```sh
+sudo install -m 0755 tsunagi /usr/local/bin/tsunagi
+sudo setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_bind_service+p /usr/local/bin/tsunagi
+tsunagi up
+```
+
+Nothing is left behind and nothing runs as root. The capability is lost on every
+rebuild or copy of the binary, so re-run `setcap` after replacing it. For the
+local DNS resolver, run `tsunagi dns` once: it prints the exact polkit rule that
+lets your user configure systemd-resolved, ready to paste.
+
+## Without touching the OS
+
+```sh
+tsunagi up --no-tun
+```
+
+Tunnels form and handshake between agents, but no interface, address or route is
+created, so traffic never reaches the operating system. Needs no privileges.
+
+## What the agent installs
+
+Everything is tagged to its own interface, computed from local state, and
+reversible — removed when a network leaves, broadcast is turned off, or the
+agent stops:
+
+- a TUN interface configured over netlink (addresses, MTU, up);
+- while broadcast is on, a `255.255.255.255` route through the interface and an
+  inbound-UDP firewall allowance from the overlay range (`iptables`, tagged);
+- the systemd-resolved setting that sends the overlay zones' questions to the
+  local resolver.
+
+Nothing taken from a remote peer ever becomes a path, a command argument or an
+OS setting.

+# Running tsunagi on macOS
+
+The agent needs **root** on macOS: creating a `utun` interface and writing
+`/etc/resolver` are both root-only, and macOS has no per-capability grant like
+Linux. There are two ways to run it.
+
+## Quick start — `sudo`
+
+```sh
+sudo tsunagi up
+```
+
+In another terminal, the control commands talk to it over the system control
+socket and do **not** need `sudo`:
+
+```sh
+tsunagi status
+tsunagi join <network-name> <tsn1…secret>
+```
+
+The agent uses fixed system paths, so the commands find it regardless of whose
+shell started `sudo`:
+
+| what | path |
+|---|---|
+| mandatory state | `/var/db/tsunagi` |
+| disposable cache | `/var/db/tsunagi/cache` |
+| control socket | `/var/run/tsunagi/agent.sock` |
+
+## Native deployment — root LaunchDaemon
+
+For an always-on agent that starts at boot, install the bundled
+[`cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist`](cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist).
+
+```sh
+# Put the binary where the plist expects it (edit the plist for another path).
+sudo install -m 0755 target/release/tsunagi /usr/local/bin/tsunagi
+
+# Install the daemon. launchd refuses a daemon plist that is not owned by
+# root:wheel or that is group/world-writable.
+sudo install -m 0644 -o root -g wheel \
+    dist/macos/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist \
+    /Library/LaunchDaemons/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist
+
+# Load and start it.
+sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist
+sudo launchctl enable system/cy.hexor.tsunagi
+```
+
+Manage it afterwards with:
+
+```sh
+sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/cy.hexor.tsunagi   # restart
+sudo launchctl bootout system/cy.hexor.tsunagi        # stop and unload
+tail -f /var/log/tsunagi.log                          # logs
+```
+
+The control commands (`status`, `join`, `network`, `dns`) work the same against
+the daemon as against a `sudo tsunagi up`, over the same socket.
+
+## What the agent does to the system
+
+Everything it installs is tagged to its own interface, computed from local
+state, and reversible — it is removed when a network leaves, broadcast is turned
+off, or the agent stops:
+
+- a **`utun` interface**, configured with `ifconfig` (addresses, MTU, up) and a
+  subnet `route` for the overlay range. The kernel assigns the `utunN` name; the
+  agent adopts whatever it is given. A `utun` is torn down with the process, so
+  a crash never leaves one behind.
+- `/etc/resolver/<network>` files pointing the system resolver at the overlay
+  DNS server for each network's zone, with a `port` so the server stays off 53.
+  Each file carries a marker line; the agent only ever replaces or removes files
+  it wrote, never one you created by hand.
+- while broadcast is on, a `255.255.255.255` **route** through the overlay
+  interface. The matching inbound-UDP firewall allowance is **not** implemented
+  yet (it needs a `pf` anchor); `tsunagi status` reports that half as incomplete
+  and names what to allow by hand if your host firewall drops discovery replies.
+
+Nothing taken from a remote peer ever becomes a path, a command argument or an
+OS setting: the interface name comes from the kernel, addresses and ranges from
+signed state the agent already verified.

+This archive holds `tsunagi.exe`. The overlay interface is a Wintun adapter, so
+the agent needs two things to carry real traffic:
+
+1. **`wintun.dll` beside the executable.** Download it from
+   <https://www.wintun.net>, take the DLL for your architecture (`amd64`), and
+   put it in the same folder as `tsunagi.exe`.
+2. **An elevated process.** Creating the adapter requires Administrator rights.
+
+Open PowerShell or Command Prompt with **Run as administrator** and start the
+agent there:
+
+```powershell
+.\tsunagi.exe up
+```
+
+Run the commands that control it (`join`, `status`, `dns`, `network`) as the
+same user with the same elevation. The agent serves its control interface on a
+named pipe under `%ProgramData%\tsunagi`, so an elevated client finds it
+regardless of which account started the agent.
+
+## Without touching the OS
+
+```powershell
+.\tsunagi.exe up --no-tun
+```
+
+Tunnels form and handshake between agents, but no adapter, address or route is
+created, so traffic never reaches the operating system. Needs no Wintun and no
+elevation.

+- the Name Resolution Policy Table entry that sends the overlay zones' questions

 ## Host behavior and verification
 
-The game must send discovery through the Tsunagi interface. Traffic bound to a
-physical adapter never reaches this TUN, and this feature does not capture it.
+A game's discovery packet only reaches Tsunagi if the operating system sends it
+through the Tsunagi interface, and its reply only reaches the game if the host
+firewall admits it. While a network has broadcast on, the agent installs
+exactly two things for the interface it owns, and removes them when broadcast
+is turned off, the network is left or stopped, or the agent exits:
+
+- **Route** `255.255.255.255/32` through the overlay interface, with the
+  overlay address as its source (Linux: netlink, `ip route add 255.255.255.255/32
+  dev tsun0 src <overlay-ip>`; Windows: `New-NetRoute`, metric 1, active store).
+  Limited broadcasts from every program then go to the overlay and not to the
+  physical LAN while this is installed; this is the price of the feature.
+- **Firewall allowance** for inbound **UDP only**, from the overlay range only,
+  on that interface only (Linux: an `iptables -I INPUT` rule tagged
+  `tsunagi:<interface>`; Windows: a Defender rule of that name). Replies to a
+  broadcast come from another address than the request went to, so a stateful
+  firewall never matches them to it. TCP services such as SSH stay unexposed.
+
+Both are tagged, idempotent and reversible, and are never derived from a remote
+announcement. A rule left by a crashed run is replaced on the next apply. If
+`iptables` is missing (for example a host with only `nft`) or the process is not
+privileged, the route is still installed and `status` prints a
+`broadcast rules` line saying which half is missing and why. To undo it all,
+turn broadcast off for the network: `tsunagi network broadcast <network> off`.
+
+**One interface, several networks.** The host has one `255.255.255.255` route
+per interface, so only one overlay address can be its source. The lowest network
+id among broadcast-enabled networks with an address is used; `status` says when
+that is not the network being shown. Directed broadcasts (`10.13.37.255`) follow
+the ordinary connected route and are not affected.
+
+**What it cannot fix.** A game that binds its socket to a physical address or
+device, or sends to the physical subnet's broadcast address, still bypasses the
+TUN. The Windows implementation could not be run while it was written; its
+scripts are unit-tested only.
