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.

Testing
How to run everything is in ../README.md. Rules for writing tests are in ../AGENTS.md.
Ground rules
Tests use real iroh endpoints on loopback, real handshakes, real SQLite in per-test temporary directories, and independent agent instances. Discovery is substitutable; iroh, authentication, message passing and persistent storage are not.
The suite runs with no internet, no DHT, no public relay, no administrator
rights and no changes to OS network settings: endpoints bind 127.0.0.1:0 and
[::1]:0, relays are disabled, address lookup is cleared, port mapping is
disabled, and net-report probing is reduced to its minimum.
Synchronisation is always "wait for a specific event or condition under one
overall deadline" (wait_event, wait_until, 30 s). The deadline covers the
probe as well as the gaps between probes: a call into a wedged agent that
never answers fails the test rather than hanging the process, which is the
difference between a red run and a test binary still burning a core the next
day. settle() exists only for asserting that something did not happen.
Ports are dynamic and directories are isolated, so tests run in parallel.
Several library instances in one process is exactly that. It is not a test of several system processes, and is not presented as one.
What is covered
| # | scenario | file |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | deterministic identity: same name + secret ⇒ same space on different devices; a changed name or secret changes it; hostname, device key and restart do not | tests/identity.rs |
| 2 | four agents find each other, authenticate for real and exchange distinguishable messages; a late joiner is picked up; opaque plugin capabilities cross the control plane | tests/multi_peer.rs |
| 3 | an attacker who knows the address and the correct public NetworkId but not the secret is rejected at the handshake |
tests/authentication.rs |
| 4 | one agent in two networks: statuses and messages do not mix; a session authenticated for one network cannot speak for the other; deactivating one leaves the other running | tests/network_isolation.rs |
| 5 | full stop and recreation from the same database: identity and settings survive, sessions come back automatically, a new local UDP port does not break recovery | tests/restart.rs |
| 6 | changing the secret through the library API: device identity survives, old sessions and messages get no access to the new space, and the retired space stays retired across a restart | tests/restart.rs |
| 7 | missing, corrupt and stale cache do not prevent connecting; a corrupt mandatory store is a clear error and never a fresh identity; a newer schema is refused; secrets stay out of status and Debug |
tests/cache_and_state.rs |
| 8 | a dead candidate and a vanished peer do not block the others; retries are bounded and stop when the network is deactivated | tests/resilience.rs |
| 9 | wrong version, a message before authentication, a proof replayed on another connection, an oversized frame and a Hello for an inactive network are all rejected without taking the agent down |
tests/authentication.rs |
| 10 | a second agent on the same state directory gets a clear error; after a clean stop the directory reopens; shutdown ends background tasks and refuses further work; independent agents coexist in one process | tests/resilience.rs |
| 11 | leaving a network frees the address for the others, says plainly when there was nobody to tell, and rejoining afterwards is not mistaken for a stale record; a wipe empties both directories and the next start is a stranger, while a directory that is not ours is refused | tests/leaving.rs, tests/cache_and_state.rs |
tests/wireguard.rs drives the WireGuard data plane over real iroh
connections. Everything is real except the packet interface: real agents, real
control plane, real data links, real WireGuard handshakes and encryption from
boringtun, with an in-memory TUN device so none of it needs privileges. It
covers real IPv6 packets travelling both ways through a tunnel, a three-agent
mesh, a peer that sends from an address it does not own being dropped, packets
for unowned addresses being counted rather than broadcast, a departing peer
losing its tunnel, two networks keeping separate interfaces and keys, restart
keeping the WireGuard identity, shutdown removing every interface, a forged
overlay claim being rejected, and the core carrying the payload without
interpreting it.
Unit tests in crates/tsunagi/src/state/ cover the signed record model directly: tampering
with any field breaks verification, a newer version wins while an older one
never rolls back, two authors claiming one address resolve the same way no
matter the merge order, one key used in two places is reported rather than
silently merged, a release survives a late-arriving old claim, a bad record in
a batch does not stop the rest, and allocation is deterministic, spread out,
walks past everything taken and reports a full range instead of handing out a
duplicate.
tests/local_control.rs covers the local control socket end to end: a client
asking a running agent for status over a real Unix socket, a leftover socket
file being replaced while a live one is not, and the derived socket path
staying short enough to bind.
tests/discovery.rs covers the discovery contract itself: a static bootstrap
candidate is enough to join, several backends compose, entries are withdrawn
when a network stops, and a forgotten network stays forgotten across a restart.
Unit tests in crates/tsunagi/src/proto/handshake.rs cover the transcript construction
itself: role separation, channel binding, identity and network binding,
unambiguous encoding, and rejection under the wrong key.
Unit tests in crates/tsunagi-wg-quic/src/ cover key clamping against the RFC
7748 vector, overlay derivation, announcement validation including the
address-hijack attempt, interface naming, and IP header parsing against
truncated and nonsense input.
tests/end_to_end.rs is the vertical slice: persistent identity → network
space → discovery → iroh → authentication → message exchange.
What the default suite does not cover is the real TUN interface, because
that needs CAP_NET_ADMIN. Everything above it does run.
Not covered, and not claimed to be
Listed in sync-model.md: snapshots, revocations, long partitions, hostname renames, recovery of a returning participant, NAT traversal, relay fallback, and multi-process or multi-host deployment. None of these are implemented, and none are marked as passing.

The library never installs a global subscriber; the harness opts in only when that variable is set.
