Derived IPv4 addresses could not survive anything: they changed with the range, and there was no way for a member to come back to the one it had. Addresses are now allocated and recorded as signed facts, which is the first slice of the model in docs/sync-model.md. src/state/ holds one record per author per network, carrying that author's complete current statement, signed with its persistent device key over a length-prefixed canonical encoding. Merging follows the model's rules: a higher version wins, an older one never rolls back a newer, duplicates are idempotent, absence from a snapshot is not deletion, and a same-version conflict is resolved identically on every replica and reported rather than letting replicas diverge. Records are persisted in state.sqlite, with the record and the author's version counter committed in one transaction before anything is announced, and distributed as a State control message that is merged into what the receiver already holds. No vote, deliberately, despite the request. A majority is not a trust root here — anyone with the secret can mint identities — and a quorum would stall with one peer online and diverge across a partition. Signatures plus a deterministic merge converge without either failure mode: two members claiming one address at once are resolved by the lower endpoint id, and the loser allocates again with a higher version. The range moved from the plugin to the agent, defaults to 10.13.37.0/24, and is now agreed rather than configured per member: a joining agent adopts what the network already uses, so --ipv4-range only matters for whoever starts it. The announcement went back to identity only (version 3) since the range travels in signed records now. A release tombstone exists and merges correctly, but nothing emits one yet. 116 tests. The headline ones: an address survives restarting both agents, three members get three distinct addresses, and a member started with a different range adopts the one in use. Confirmed by hand with two CLI agents restarted end to end. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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). 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 |
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 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 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 src/dataplane/wireguard/ 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.
Debugging a test
TSUNAGI_TEST_LOG=tsunagi=debug cargo test --test multi_peer -- --nocapture
The library never installs a global subscriber; the harness opts in only when that variable is set.
