What: the mesh MTU is a constant, gotatun_tun.rs:30 MESH_MTU = 1380 (Linux) and macos_node.rs:49 UTUN_MTU = 1280 (Mac). Nothing derives it from the path to the peer's endpoint, and nothing clamps MSS. When the underlay MTU is below inner MTU + 60 (IPv4 outer) or + 80 (IPv6), every full-size mesh packet fragments outside the tunnel. Towards the Mac that collapses TCP.

Measured (Mac VM ↔ compute01; underlay NetBird, MTU 1280, about 143 ms RTT; dev 9b0c731e8; the same GotaTun fork on both ends):

1 flow 8 flows
Plain path, Linux → Mac 132.4 / 145.1 Mbit/s 374.1 / 529.4 Mbit/s
Mesh, Linux → Mac 0.5 (repeat: 0.2) 33.5
Mesh, Mac → Linux 119.2 125.3

Per-second, 1 flow, mesh down: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.08, 0.0, 1.16, 0.97, 0.0, …], MSS 1228. A full inner packet is 1280 B, so the GotaTun datagram is 1340 B, larger than the 1280 underlay.

UDP Linux → Mac by size (iperf3 -u -t 8): mesh 1100 B (unfragmented outside) loses 0% / 0.8% at 20 / 80 Mbit/s. Mesh 1200 B (fragmented) loses 37.7 / 19.4 / 19.2% at 20 Mbit/s and 12.5% at 80. The plain path with fragmented 1300 B datagrams is also lossy at rate (0 / 0 / 69% at 20 Mbit/s, 78% at 80). So the fragments die in the underlay; GotaTun itself is clean. The product problem is that the mesh always produces packets this path must fragment. Pings with 1252-byte payloads pass both ways, so it isn't a black hole.

Where it bites: any Mac whose path to a peer has MTU below 1340, or Linux ↔ Linux below 1440 (IPv4) / 1460 (IPv6). Examples: another VPN, mobile carriers, 1280-MTU IPv6 links. compute01's own eth0 is 1450, so Linux mesh over IPv6 there fragments too.

Repro: a Mac and a Linux node whose only route crosses a 1280-MTU link, then iperf3 -c <mac mesh ip> -t 12 from Linux. Expected: close to the plain path. Actual: under 1 Mbit/s. Raw data: lume@infraternal-macos-01-std:~/j267-evidence/m-*, claude@compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j267/evidence/l2m-*.

Fix direction (owner/orchestrator choice, transport-level): per-peer PMTU (probe it or derive it from the endpoint route), an MSS clamp on the mesh interface, or a lower default MTU. Not chosen here.

J288 start. Branch mesh-mtu-381, based on origin/dev 3dc58dc67b771c7e38a298c3c5ac437055b8ff44.

Plan (estimate: 5 hours):

  1. Reproduce the 1280-byte underlay failure before implementation and record the result. Add a failing Linux namespace fixture that observes the current oversized mesh MTU against a 1280-byte endpoint route.
  2. Derive one interface MTU from the smallest route MTU among configured peer endpoints, minus 80 bytes (covers IPv6 outer headers); use 1200 as the conservative fallback when no endpoint route can be queried. Recompute when applying peer endpoint configuration.
  3. Apply that MTU consistently to Linux kernel WireGuard, Linux GotaTun's TUN and packet watcher, and macOS utun/GotaTun send and receive limits. Keep MSS and packetization consistent with the interface MTU.
  4. Measure before/after on the real Mac ↔ compute01 path with ~/mesh-vm.claim and the Mac lock held per measurement step. Measure normal-MTU performance on the D348 perf VM with perf-run, 2 CPUs per test side, and its no-interference check.
  5. Run verify quick, then verify fast; attach logs and report the measurements and gate output here.

Mechanism and trade-offs: I recommend route-derived interface MTU, taking the minimum over peer endpoint routes and subtracting 80 bytes. The official WireGuard wg-quick docs describe automatic MTU derivation from endpoint routes or the default route, and its Linux implementation uses the smallest endpoint-route MTU minus 80: wg-quick manual, wg-quick Linux implementation. A fixed 1200-byte MTU is simpler and safe for 1280-byte overlays, but needlessly reduces packet size on normal paths; I will keep it only as the no-route fallback. PMTU/ICMP handling is more adaptive but requires new outer-error handling across the kernel, GotaTun and macOS. MSS clamping addresses TCP only and requires firewall changes; it does not protect UDP or other large IP packets. Route derivation is read-only and does not change the tunnel transport or engine, so I am proceeding with it. It will be refreshed when peer configuration is applied, following the standard bring-up model; it will not add a live route-change monitor.

Dependency finding: #379 confirms the Mac release build at this base (3dc58dc67) fails in restart.rs:271 because sockopt::PeerCredentials is Linux-only. This blocks compiling the required Mac parity change and running the real Mac measurement from this base. Recommendation: keep the #379 fix atomic and separate, then rebase #381 on its dev merge before Mac build/proof (estimated additional time: about 45 minutes). I will proceed with the Linux 1280-MTU reproducer and implementation while that prerequisite is being resolved; I will not bundle unrelated #379 changes here.

J288 finding / test-first red: the new namespace proof ran against base 3dc58dc67 with both veth underlay links at MTU 1280. It reported {"underlay_mtu": 1280, "mesh_mtus": [1380, 1380]} and failed as expected: the 1380-byte inner MTU plus 80 bytes of worst-case WireGuard overhead exceeds the underlay and forces fragmentation. The test fixture is scripts/mesh-namespace-proof.py --underlay-mtu 1280; red log: claude@infraternal-dev-02-std:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/mtu-red.log.

That packet-size failure matches J267's real-path result in #375: Linux → Mac was 0.5 Mbit/s (repeat 0.2) at one flow and 33.5 Mbit/s at eight flows, while the plain route was 132–145 / 374–529 Mbit/s. No production code has changed yet.

Progress update: kayg ordered a freeze on new work on dev-02 and the Mac VM while their shared USB drive is moved. I will not queue builds, tests, syncs, or Mac-lock work on either VM.

Already completed before the freeze: the dev-02 1280-byte namespace baseline ran red with mesh MTUs [1380, 1380] against underlay MTU 1280. Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/mtu-red.log on dev-02. The Mac route check also already observed compute01 through utun100 at MTU 1280.

Pending until the freeze lifts: Mac-only implementation/build/runtime proof and the real Mac ↔ compute01 before/after measurement. The separate #379 native Mac build fix is also a prerequisite for that build. I will continue Linux implementation, build/test on compute01, and use the perf VM for measurements.

Perf readiness finding: on infraternal-perf-01-backup01, perf.slice currently reports AllowedCPUs=1-3 and cpuset.cpus.effective=1-3 (6 online CPUs; load 0.18). Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/perf-d348-readiness.log on the control host. This cannot provide the D348 two-disjoint-CPU sets for both test sides. #260's latest J88i progress still says no D348 validation or counted hold until the pinning halves are complete.

I have not started a benchmark or changed the perf VM's CPU masks. Recommendation: keep the perf run pending until the D348 pinning/restore setup is complete or explicitly lifted, then measure the normal-MTU matched pair through perf-run. Linux implementation and compute01 checks continue meanwhile.

Linux implementation WIP committed and pushed as bf367b36871246137033c2ce1c83ab1e5d2747a5 on mesh-mtu-381 (rebased base 2ca748b8c07a5836462b380ef4e340d829731ec5). It derives the smallest peer-endpoint route MTU minus 80 bytes, updates Linux kernel WireGuard and GotaTun's link/watcher, and makes the namespace fixture assert exact route-derived MTUs for 1280/1500 underlays.

No quick gate or post-change fixture run has started. At the last check, all four compute01 build slots were occupied and five runs were queued; I have not queued this job. Mac work remains pending on the std-VM freeze, and the perf measurement remains pending on D348's unproven 2+2 CPU masks. The perf readiness receipt is /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/perf-d348-readiness.log.

WIP update pushed: 1f70aecc01196d4406682a397373afee7cb33626 (supersedes bf367b3). The MTU read/write paths now carry a proven interface index: kernel updates use the existing owner-proof check, and GotaTun rechecks its owner marker before writing the MTU, so a reused infraternal0 name cannot redirect an update to an unrelated link.

The compute01 worktree is at this head. The build slots remain occupied; no gate or post-change namespace run has started.

WIP head updated to 43267bd8795d8512292981ad8fcb92c6f9aef81f and pushed. Kernel MTU changes now stay tied to the proven interface index; the owner check happens before applying the temporary access fence. GotaTun validates its owner marker before reading or writing MTU.

The compute01 worktree is at this head. All four slots were still busy at the last status check; I have not queued or started a gate.

J288 quick gate queued (2026-11-06 09:48 IST). Correction to my previous status: all compute01 slots were still occupied, so I queued scripts/verify quick through build-slot at queue position 6 to run on the required host. It is not queued on dev-02, and I have started no Mac work. Log: claude@compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick.log; PID receipt: claude@compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick.pid. I will wait for this run to finish before starting the namespace proof.

J288 finding: quick stopped at formatting. Evidence from claude@compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick.log: scope guard, migration names and Nix Cargo vendoring passed; fmt found one rustfmt-only wrap in the new macOS route-parser assertion at mesh_mtu.rs:150. No compile or test rows ran after fmt stopped. I changed only that wrapping in the control worktree and will sync the file to compute01, rerun quick through build-slot, then proceed in order.

Correction to the quick/fmt finding: I read only the tail of the first log and understated the formatter output. The complete second-run log, copied to /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-r2.log, shows four remaining rustfmt hunks across gotatun_node.rs, gotatun_tun.rs, and mesh_mtu.rs; the Mac parser assertion from the first run is already wrapped. Quick stopped at fmt before compilation/tests. I am applying exactly the formatter's remaining changes, syncing those files to compute01, then I will rerun quick.

J288 progress (2026-11-06 10:08 IST). The formatter corrections from the full quick-r2 output are synced to compute01; quick-r3 is queued at position 5 and has not started.

J288 finding: D345 documentation gate failed. Quick-r3 passed scope, migration names, vendoring, fmt, doc coverage and the D351 shape check, then the doc-comment check listed seven missing comments across gotatun_node.rs, gotatun_tun.rs, lib.rs, mesh_mtu.rs and wireguard.rs. Full evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-r3.log. No compile/unit-test rows ran after this stop. I’m adding the requested purpose and invariant comments to those items, then I’ll rerun quick.

J288 finding: quick/rust clippy stopped with six mesh errors. The full output is /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-r4.log. It lists five doc_markdown errors for unquoted GotaTun/WireGuard in changed comments, plus unnecessary_wraps on lower_route_mtu returning Option<u32>. Vendored dependency warnings were non-fatal. The helper's result is always a value when a route is supplied, so I will return u32 and keep absence in the fold accumulator; no unit tests ran because quick stopped at clippy.

J288 finding: quick-r5 fmt stopped at one closure layout.

Correction: the previous quick attempt cannot be used as a code result. It acquired a slot as the branch base was advancing and the compute01 worktree was being reset. Its log reports merge base 0aad23e1c027 and then fails because crates/plugins/mesh/src/mesh_mtu.rs disappeared during fixed test waits; this was a checkout race, not a source assertion. Log: claude@compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-post-rebase-r2.log.

The branch and compute01 worktree are now stable at pushed head 2805422aec86385b0bf5269c49b127b93dcfa643, rebased on current origin/dev 863c8f97fc8d93002d3cba7590004fa61421a6c8. I will rerun quick against this head before continuing.

J288 namespace regression on the corrected launcher: the kernel_node example built, then the 1280-byte case exited during Node::chunk with Error: Os { code: 22, kind: InvalidInput }. The fixture did not report mesh MTUs, and the 1500-byte case did not run. This is a red result against the new branch, not the original baseline. Evidence: claude@compute01:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-namespace-1280-1500-r2.log.

J288 diagnostic narrowed the namespace failure: current_mtu read 1200 and update_mtu(1200) succeeded; start_device(&config) then returned EINVAL.

Correction to the diagnostic comment above: the temporary trace printed no start_device failed line, so GotaTun device startup returned successfully. The EINVAL occurs later in the outer Node::apply transaction after peer initialization. I’m adding boundary traces around route and firewall installation to identify the exact failing operation; the earlier attribution to start_device was incorrect.

J288 root cause, reproduced with a disposable user/network namespace on compute01: Linux rejects adding the mesh IPv6 address while the TUN MTU is 1200 (RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument); adding the IPv6 address at MTU 1280 and lowering the link to 1200 afterwards succeeds. Evidence: claude@compute01:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-minmtu-r2.log.

The namespace fixture trace confirms route-overlap checking and the access fence pass, then the first snapshot fails at Device::addresses before peers are applied. I’ll keep 1280 as the initial interface MTU so dual-stack addresses can be installed, then apply the route-derived MTU after the first address installation. For later peer changes, the existing lower-before-peer-update ordering stays in place. This preserves the route-derived mechanism and its 1200 fallback.

J288 Linux follow-up plan (2026-11-06): the namespace proof at underlay MTU 1280 is red before the fix because the first snapshot tries to install its IPv6 address on a 1200-byte link. The reproducible kernel result and proposed ordering are recorded above; evidence is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-minmtu-r2.log and the failed 1280/1500 namespace run is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-namespace-1280-1500-r2.log on compute01.

Linux fix: keep a fresh GotaTun TUN at least 1280 bytes while addresses are installed, then apply the route-derived MTU; in the kernel path, install addresses before lowering the interface, but tighten the MTU before peer changes. Next I’ll run verify quick on compute01, the 1280/1500 namespace proof, then verify fast, and commit/push the verified fix.

Mac MTU integration/build/runtime proof and the real Mac ↔ compute01 before/after measurement remain pending until the std-VM freeze is lifted. The normal-MTU perf-VM comparison remains pending the D348 calibration/window recorded in #260; I will not change perf CPU masks.

D348 status correction from #260 (comments 81846 and 81876): the cpuset/restoration validation passed, but the three-control calibration failed its spread checks (1-flow p99 9.863% vs 3.2%; 8-flow throughput 0.813% vs 0.8%). The owner directed the matched hold to proceed and requires it to be labeled owner-directed and uncalibrated. I’m updating the perf plan accordingly; no perf benchmark has started for J288. I will use the D348 pinned runner and report its calibration limitation alongside the normal-MTU comparison.

Linux kernel-path review found a second IPv6 ordering issue before the 1280/1500 fixture rerun.

Device::create currently activates infraternal0 at the 1200-byte fallback (crates/plugins/mesh/src/wireguard.rs), and Device::addresses leaves it there. The kernel refuses to add the IPv6 address below 1280; the disposable-namespace reproduction is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-minmtu-r2.log. GotaTun now keeps its fresh TUN at 1280 through address installation, but the kernel path does not yet.

I’ll keep the new kernel link at least 1280 until its addresses are installed, then apply the endpoint-route MTU, and extend the namespace proof to exercise both Linux engines. This is within the already-recorded route-derived MTU plan; it does not change the transport. The Mac implementation/build/proof and real Mac ↔ compute01 comparison remain pending the std-VM freeze. Compute01 is currently full, so I will not queue a new run.

Correction to my previous code-path attribution: Device::create does not set the MTU. The first link is lowered to 1200 by Device::configure after key setup, before the first Node::apply installs addresses; Device::addresses applies the fallback after adding addresses. The confirmed kernel refusal below 1280 is still recorded in /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-minmtu-r2.log.

The fix will preserve the link MTU while configuring the kernel key, and, for address changes on an already low-MTU link, raise the previously proven interface index to 1280 immediately before address installation. Node::apply will then apply the route-derived MTU before peer changes. The namespace fixture will exercise the kernel engine first against the current failing state.

J288 continuation after the std-VM freeze steering:

  • No new work has started on dev-02 or the Mac VM. Mac MTU integration, native build/runtime proof, and the real Mac ↔ compute01 after-measurement remain pending; #379's native build fix is still a prerequisite.
  • Current compute01 status: all four slots are occupied, three jobs are queued, and 100 GB is free. No J288 run is queued. I will wait for an available slot before running the expanded Linux proof or gates.
  • The perf VM still exposes CPUs 1–3 only. The earlier D348 cpuset/restoration check passed, but calibration spread failed its bounds; per the owner's direction, the matched normal-MTU hold may proceed only labeled owner-directed, uncalibrated. No CPU masks will be changed.
  • The original 1280-byte-underlay red result remains documented above, along with J267's real-path baseline: Linux → Mac mesh TCP was 0.5 Mbit/s (repeat 0.2) at 1 flow and 33.5 Mbit/s at 8; plain path was 132.4/145.1 and 374.1/529.4 Mbit/s. The J267 evidence paths are listed in #375.
  • Next: run both Linux engines at 1280 and 1500 underlay MTUs on compute01, then run quick and fast there. After building matched binaries on compute01, run the D348 normal-MTU perf hold and attach its artifacts. The Mac portions remain pending the freeze lift.

J288 Linux review finding: the current ordering fix still leaves the kernel engine below IPv6's interface minimum before the first address is installed.

In wireguard.rs, Device::configure still calls activate(ifindex, Some(FALLBACK_MESH_MTU)) after setting the key. The new ordering in Node::apply moves its later route-derived update after Device::addresses, but that does not restore the MTU which configure already lowered to 1200. On address changes, an already-low interface has the same issue; rollback also reinstalls old addresses before restoring the prior MTU.

The isolated reproduction at /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-minmtu-r2.log confirms Linux rejects IPv6 address installation at MTU 1200 and accepts it at 1280. I will run the expanded kernel-engine namespace fixture at underlay MTU 1280 against the current branch before changing production code, then fix initial setup, low-MTU address updates, and rollback ordering if the fixture confirms the path.

WireGuard reference check (primary sources): wg-quick documents automatic MTU selection from endpoint addresses or the default route. Its Linux implementation queries endpoint routes and subtracts 80 bytes; the Darwin script uses its default egress MTU minus 80. WireGuardKit's macOS settings use 80 bytes of tunnel overhead. This supports a shared route-derived interface ceiling while keeping platform-specific route lookup and update code; it does not require a tunnel transport change.

The Mac code/build/path measurement remains pending under the current freeze.

J288 kernel fixture red confirmed the missed ordering. On the current branch, the kernel_node example built and the isolated 1280-byte-underlay proof failed while applying the first configuration: Error: Os { code: 22, kind: InvalidInput, message: "Invalid argument" }. It exited before the MTU assertion; the full artifact is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-kernel-red-1280.log.

This matches the earlier Linux IPv6 reproduction: key configuration lowered the new kernel link to the 1200 fallback before Device::addresses tried to add its IPv6 address. I will preserve the existing/default link MTU during key setup and temporarily raise any already-low mesh link to 1280 by its interface index while installing addresses. The address helper also handles rollback/re-enrollment paths that reinstall addresses.

J288 root-cause confirmation: a disposable Linux namespace on compute01 installed an IPv6 /128 route on an interface at MTU 1280, then failed to add the same route after lowering that interface to 1200 (RTNETLINK answers: No such device). This matches the fixture's IPv6 route-add failure. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-route-mtu-probe-r2.log. The candidate fix keeps the interface at or above 1280 until peer host routes are installed, then applies the route-derived packet MTU.

J288 continuation after the std freeze lift: the Mac VM is available again, but J279 currently owns /tmp/mac-bench.lock for an active mesh test build (PID 58278 under lockf). Pending Mac work is the parser red/green test, endpoint-route MTU lookup and utun update, native runtime proof, then the Mac↔compute01 after-measurement under the mesh claim. I will wait for the lock instead of starting or queueing a Mac step.

compute01 has all four build slots occupied on the latest status check (slot 3 is a fast gate); I will rerun only the GotaTun/1280 namespace diagnostic after a slot is free. The Mac target must be deleted before releasing its lock; the VM currently has about 24 GiB free.

J288 plan update before the next code change: the shared-interface MTU approach needs a Linux IPv6 correction. The 1280-byte GotaTun namespace run reached MTUs [1200, 1200], then both mesh IPv6 addresses and peer routes disappeared; ping failed locally with Network is unreachable (evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-gotatun-diagnostic-r3.log). The root cause is that LinuxTun::set_mtu changes both the kernel link and GotaTun watcher; setting the link below IPv6's 1280 minimum removes IPv6 state.

Revised candidate: keep each shared tunnel interface at least 1280, but derive an unlocked MTU metric per peer host route from that peer's endpoint route minus the conservative 80-byte overhead (fallback 1200). This lets IPv4—and, if the Linux route stack accepts a sub-1280 IPv6 route metric, IPv6 too—advertise the smaller packet ceiling without lowering the interface. At normal 1500 underlay the route remains 1420. macOS applies the corresponding host-route metrics and sizes the utun/watcher to the largest peer budget with a 1280 floor.

Trade-offs: route state is more precise than one minimum shared MTU, but route updates must track peer endpoint changes; route MTU remains unlocked so operating-system PMTU updates can refine it. A 1280 floor protects IPv6 link state. Before implementing, I will verify Linux's IPv6 route-metric behavior in a disposable namespace; if it rejects the metric, the IPv6 route will stay at 1280 and the remaining outer-fragment behavior will be called out separately.

J288 plan update before the next code change: the shared-interface MTU approach needs a Linux IPv6 correction. The 1280-byte GotaTun namespace run reached MTUs [1200, 1200], then both mesh IPv6 addresses and peer routes disappeared; `ping` failed locally with `Network is unreachable` (evidence: `/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-gotatun-diagnostic-r3.log`). The root cause is that `LinuxTun::set_mtu` changes both the kernel link and GotaTun watcher; setting the link below IPv6's 1280 minimum removes IPv6 state. Revised candidate: keep each shared tunnel interface at least 1280, but derive an unlocked MTU metric per peer host route from that peer's endpoint route minus the conservative 80-byte overhead (fallback 1200). This lets IPv4—and, if the Linux route stack accepts a sub-1280 IPv6 route metric, IPv6 too—advertise the smaller packet ceiling without lowering the interface. At normal 1500 underlay the route remains 1420. macOS applies the corresponding host-route metrics and sizes the utun/watcher to the largest peer budget with a 1280 floor. Trade-offs: route state is more precise than one minimum shared MTU, but route updates must track peer endpoint changes; route MTU remains unlocked so operating-system PMTU updates can refine it. A 1280 floor protects IPv6 link state. Before implementing, I will verify Linux's IPv6 route-metric behavior in a disposable namespace; if it rejects the metric, the IPv6 route will stay at 1280 and the remaining outer-fragment behavior will be called out separately.

J288 route-metric probe result: in a disposable Linux namespace with the interface at MTU 1280, ip -6 route add fd04::2/128 dev underlay0 mtu 1200 succeeds and ip -6 route get fd04::2 reports mtu 1200; the IPv6 address remains configured on the interface. IPv4 reports the same route metric. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/ipv6-route-metric-probe.log on compute01.

This supports the revised per-peer host-route MTU plan for both address families while preserving the shared interface's 1280 minimum. I am adding the 1280-underlay fragment-drop regression proof first; its baseline will run against the pre-#381 commit before any route-metric implementation.

J288 pre-fix 1280-byte boundary proof (test-first): the baseline kernel-node fixture kept both mesh links at MTU 1380, with no route MTU. On a 1280-byte underlay, the probe created four outer IPv4 fragments and recorded three reassembly failures; oversized IPv4 and IPv6 probes were lost while small IPv4 and IPv6 probes passed. This demonstrates the packet-loss mechanism at the boundary; it is not a TCP throughput result.

J288 test-first route/interface MTU check: the compute01 unit test compiled the changed mesh crate and failed as intended because interface_mtu is not implemented yet. The three red assertions cover selecting the largest per-peer budget, preserving the 1280-byte IPv6 interface floor, and using that floor when there are no peers.

J288 Mac test-target finding: the native cargo command compiled the mesh crate but selected zero tests for the route-parser filter. Inspection shows mesh_mtu is currently compiled only for Linux in lib.rs, so its macOS parser tests and shared route-MTU logic are excluded on macOS. The zero-test run is not passing test evidence. I am widening the module gate to the supported Linux and macOS agent targets, then will rerun the fallback test red/green under the Mac lock.

J288 resumed after the owner lifted the std-VM freeze at 14:36 IST. Branch mesh-mtu-381, pushed head e76dce4502ce00c3cc0ff5ad078a79ed36fc4ad1; the current worktree still has uncommitted Linux fixture/kernel-ordering and macOS route-MTU changes.

The Mac VM is back on the internal SSD with about 23 GB free. I will hold lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock across each complete Mac build-and-test step, keep CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, wait in the foreground if the lock is busy, and delete only ~/worktrees/j288/target before releasing the lock. I will not start concurrent Mac builds.

Remaining sequence: review the current route transaction and rollback paths; finish the Linux 1280/1500 namespace matrix for both engines and quick/fast on compute01; sync the final source to the Mac worktree and run the native mesh tests/runtime proof under the Mac lock; then take the Mac ↔ compute01 matched before/after measurement while holding the mesh claim and Mac lock. The normal-MTU perf hold uses perf-run and the owner-directed, uncalibrated D348 setup already recorded above; I will not change CPU masks. I will push atomic commits as they pass their focused checks and attach the evidence and verbatim final gate output here.

J288 Mac build command finding. Under /tmp/mac-bench.lock, the exact current MTU tests passed 9/9 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-current-native.log). My release-build command also enabled the opt-in desktop feature. That pulled apple-metal into the CLI build, whose SwiftPM step failed because the Command Line Tools compiler could not load the arm64 macOS 14.0 standard library while using the Nix 14.4 SDK. The target was removed before unlocking and the Mac returned to 25 GiB free. This is outside the default production CLI feature set; I am retrying the normal cargo build --locked --release -p infraternal path, which includes the mesh agent by default, under a fresh lock-held build step.

J288 current-source Mac proof. On the rebased branch worktree, the MTU route/parser tests passed 9/9 under /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0; log: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-current-native.log. The default production release build (cargo build --locked --release -p infraternal) passed in a separate lock-held step; binary SHA-256 e1cd1aed7b7b4083aa03fc91615e1f438ad269163a071c9a28971b096e6d9c86, version infraternal 0.1.0 (stable). Build log and hash/version receipts: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-current-release.log, infraternal-mtu381-rebased.sha256, and .version. Both steps removed ~/worktrees/j288/target before unlocking; disk returned to 25 GiB free.

The live Mac ↔ compute01 after-measurement remains pending: compute01's ~/mesh-vm.claim still belongs to J254-linux-proof. J267's measured before rows and the source raw JSON remain available at #375 and /Users/lume/j267-evidence/m-{baseline-netbird,mesh-gotatun,baseline-netbird-2}/.

J288 latest-base update. origin/dev advanced with 68ee8d9a5 (dev-fmt-fix), fixing the previously observed upstream-only uninstall.rs rustfmt hunk. I rebased and pushed mesh-mtu-381 again; current branch head is 1a44b8b4f256. The Mac MTU test and default release build passed on the immediately prior base; this rebase changes only unrelated server/uninstall files, and the changed mesh sources are unchanged. The compute01 J288 worktree is now reset to this head plus the current nine-file working-tree implementation; its existing 7.1 GiB target is retained for quick/fast.

Next: verify quick, then the Linux namespace MTU matrix, then verify fast. The live Mac ↔ compute01 measurement remains blocked on J254's ~/mesh-vm.claim.

J288 quick finding: the first post-rebase quick run stopped at fmt with three rustfmt hunks, all in the changed crates/plugins/mesh/src/macos_node.rs (Tokio import wrapping, route signature wrapping, and a test assertion wrap). Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-after-lift.log. I applied rustfmt to that file locally and am syncing it before rerunning quick. No compilation or unit-test rows ran in that attempt.

J288 quick finding after the formatting fix: fmt, doc coverage, D351 shape checks, D345 doc comments and fixed-wait checks all passed. Workspace clippy then hit E0500 in the new Linux endpoint-only update path at node.rs:1712: the fallible closure captured all of Node for set_mesh_mtu while a borrowed old Config remained live for rollback. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-after-fmt.log.

I moved the shared interface MTU update after the engine/route closure returns. That ends the mutable engine-field borrow before the shared update, preserves the same rollback path, and avoids cloning the old Config on every endpoint update. The corrected node.rs is synced to compute01; I am rerunning quick through build-slot.

J288 continuation after the 14:36 IST freeze lift. Branch mesh-mtu-381 is at 9cadc3ceaf; the working tree includes the pending cross-platform route-MTU implementation. The last quick attempt stopped at clippy with E0500 in node.rs; the follow-up edit is present locally, but the recorded launcher PID is gone and build-slot status has no J288 entry, so I will rerun quick after the focused checks. The Mac target is absent and 25 GiB is free. I will rebuild and test the current source under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 and delete the target before unlocking, then run the real Mac-to-compute01 measurement under ~/mesh-vm.claim plus the Mac lock. Compute01 mesh claim is currently free. The D348 perf VM still exposes AllowedCPUs and cpuset.cpus.effective 1-3, only three CPUs, so it cannot satisfy the required disjoint 2+2 pinning; I will not change its masks.

J288 queue and disk update: the quick launcher is still last in compute01 build-slot and has not started. Free disk is 33 GiB against the 25 GiB admission floor; the existing 7.1 GiB target remains in place for both requested gates. I will keep the same target path and wait for the slot/disk check rather than create another target or move the x86 gate to dev-02.

J288 continuation: the std freeze is lifted. One source change (the map_or lint fix in mesh_mtu.rs) landed after the previous Mac run, so the final Mac unit/build proof remains pending. I will hold lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock for the entire remaining Mac build/test/measurement step, keep CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, and remove the Mac target before unlocking. Compute01 is currently full with six jobs queued; this continuation has not queued new build work. The first namespace attempt failed before testing because nix develop ran outside the worktree (namespace-mtu-after-1280.log); the corrected runner now enters the worktree, and I am waiting to rerun the 1280 boundary proof through build-slot. D348 perf readiness will be checked again before measuring; earlier evidence showed only CPUs 1-3 available, which cannot provide disjoint 2+2 pinning.

Correction: compute01 filled before the namespace proof acquired a slot; my queued run was seventh and was canceled before compilation (namespace-mtu-after-1280-r2.log ends with MESH_PROOF_EXIT=143 and contains no build or product result). Dev-02 had one free aarch64 slot, so I checked out the pushed 2171a4b40 source there and started the same proof with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0; its single target is removed on exit. The x86 verify fast gate and live Mac-to-compute01 measurement remain on their required hosts.

J288 1280-byte boundary proof is green on the pushed 2171a4b40 source. Before-fix remains the red fixture run on compute01: interface MTUs 1380/1380, no route metrics, four outer IPv4 fragments and three receiver reassembly failures; small IPv4/IPv6 passed while oversized IPv4/IPv6 were lost. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-mtu-baseline-boundary.log on compute01. After-fix ran on dev-02 aarch64 through its free build slot: both GotaTun and kernel kept interface MTUs 1280/1280 and installed IPv4+IPv6 peer route MTUs 1200/1200; small probes passed, oversized IPv4 was limited by the route, IPv6 source-fragmented to route MTU, outer fragments=0 and reassembly failures=0. MESH_PROOF_EXIT=0. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/namespace-mtu-after-1280-aarch64.log on dev-02. The target was removed (TARGET_PRESENT=no); free disk 111 GiB.

J288 continuation after the std freeze lift. Current pushed head is 2171a4b406; the Mac current-source test/build and 1280-underlay proof are complete, with their targets removed. I found origin/dev has advanced beyond this branch, so I will rebase and rerun the required final gate on the refreshed head. Next I will run the live after-measurement on the J267 Mac to compute01 path under ~/mesh-vm.claim and the Mac lock, using J267's recorded plain and pre-fix mesh runs on #375 as the before baseline. The D348 perf VM still exposes only CPUs 1-3; I will recheck its readiness and will not change masks or claim a valid normal-MTU hold without the required disjoint 2+2 setup. Existing baseline and Mac proof evidence remain at the paths recorded in the prior #381 comments.

J288 branch refresh is pushed at a6704428c8, based on current origin/dev 37c93637e4. I collapsed the four incremental feature commits into one atomic #381 commit; the implementation tree is unchanged. Compute01's checkout is synced to that head and its 7.3 GiB target is retained. The next action is verify quick on compute01, then fast. The latest D348 readiness recheck still shows only CPUs 1-3 effective on the perf VM, so the normal-MTU performance run remains blocked by the required disjoint 2+2 setup.

Mac recheck on refreshed head: the mesh library tests pass (117 passed, 0 failed) with --lib --features agent; evidence: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-current-reverify-tests.log. The first broad cargo test --features agent invocation was invalid on macOS because it also compiled the Linux-only tests/access_updates.rs target; its E0432/E0433 output is in mac-mtu-final-tests.log.

The refreshed default release CLI build fails in upstream crates/infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:424 because nix::SockFlag::SOCK_CLOEXEC is unavailable on macOS. This file changed in the current origin/dev history (D354); the mesh files did not change between the previously tested base and current dev. Full compiler output: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-current-reverify-release.log. Target cleanup succeeded under the Mac lock (TARGET_PRESENT=no; mac-mtu-current-reverify-cleanup.log). I will use the already-built candidate from the same mesh source tree for the live path measurement: /tmp/infraternal-mtu381-final, SHA-256 c9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4; its prior current-source test/build receipts are in the previous #381 comment.

Correction to the D348 status above: the current perf.slice mask is still 1-3, but J317 on #260 confirms the approved J88i runner temporarily expands the measured scope to CPUs 0-5 under the shared perf lock, assigns sides 1-2 and 3-4, and restores/verifies the original mask. The current blocker is J88i's explicit perf-lock handoff; its latest #260 update says the handoff has not yet been posted. I will not bypass that lock or change CPU masks. Fresh readiness receipt: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/perf-d348-readiness-final.log (2026-11-06 17:11:54 UTC).

I have not started the live test. compute01 ~/mesh-vm.claim is currently held by J279 (2026-11-06T16:15:33Z); I will wait for its release before changing mesh state.

Mac-path readiness finding: the returned Mac VM has 23 GiB free, the J288 worktree target is absent, the cached candidate hash matches c9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4, and J267s measure.sh/summ.py are present. This VM has no J288 scripts checkout, so I staged the branchs measurement fixture files in /tmp under mac-bench.lock.

Update: J279 released ~/mesh-vm.claim during the foreground poll; J288 has not taken it or changed any live mesh state. The verify fast run remains active on compute01, so I will wait for it to finish before measuring. Next: preserve its release binary, run the required real-root TUN proof through build-slot, then claim the live mesh for the Mac-to-compute01 sample under the Mac lock.

verify fast privileged integration finding: two existing route-restart namespace cases fail on this head. orphan_route_retirement_preserves_foreign_routes fails its route-presence vector assertion; restart_retires_orphan_peer_host_routes reports a removed peer route still present with metrics: [{"mtu":1200}].

Root cause identified: Device::routes now installs an RTA_METRICS attribute containing one RTAX_MTU, but retire_routes treats every unrecognized route attribute as foreign. The orphan-route cleanup therefore skips the exact MTU-tagged routes this change creates; the failed restart test exposes the retained 1200-byte route. After the running gate exits, I will teach retirement to recognize only our exact nested metric shape (one valid mesh MTU, no extra metrics) while continuing to reject other route modifiers, then rerun the focused regression and gates.

Focused route-retirement fix committed and pushed as 28486bbe4bf92ee64e5dfe24b06d633d1339ef65 on mesh-mtu-381. The change accepts only one well-formed nested MTU metric in the supported range, continues to accept legacy routes without metrics, and preserves routes with any additional or foreign modifier. verify quick passed before commit with 55 changed-package tests; receipt: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-route-cleanup.log. I’m now queuing verify fast on compute01.

J288 finding: verify fast exited 1 on 28486bbe4bf92ee64e5dfe24b06d633d1339ef65. The exact patch issues are a rustfmt hunk in the nested route-metrics test helper, an unannotated integer array causing E0689 at wireguard.rs:1472 (which also stops clippy and tests), and the missing D345 doc comment on retire_routes at wireguard.rs:749. Static builds passed: x86_64 27,806,800 bytes (+5,388,544); aarch64 25,015,640 bytes (+4,562,360). The namespace proof harness passed its 58 checks and selected install,mesh; the later privileged integration test row failed as a consequence of the compile error. Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-fast-28486bbe.log on compute01.

I will fix only the test type, formatting and D345 comment, rerun verify quick, push the correction, then rerun verify fast on compute01. The Mac build/runtime step and live Mac ↔ compute01 measurement remain next; the D348 normal-MTU perf measurement is still blocked by the invalid calibration and missing lock handoff recorded on #260, so I will not start or alter perf-VM state.

J288 progress after the Mac VM returned:

  • I checked the old Mac candidate provenance before using it. The binary hash was stable, but its head receipt said a670442 while its source/test receipts said 2171a4b, so I am not using that candidate as final evidence.
  • A fresh Mac build and Mac mesh library test are now running from exact branch head 28486bbe4bf92ee64e5dfe24b06d633d1339ef65, under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0. The job target is ~/worktrees/j288-mac-final-28486bbe/target; the locked script removes it and the temporary worktree before releasing the lock. Log: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-build-test-28486bbe.log on the Mac.
  • The corrected verify quick was queued on compute01 at position 21 before admission froze. It has not started. I will not resubmit or start compute01 work until the maintenance restart is complete and the owner posts that compute01 is back; the queued run being cut is not a test failure.
  • The D348 perf-VM run remains pending: #260 still lacks the validated calibration and lock handoff, so I have not started a counted run or changed CPU masks.

Mac result from a fresh run against exact branch head 28486bbe4bf92ee64e5dfe24b06d633d1339ef65:

  • cargo test --locked -j3 --release --no-default-features --features agent -p infraternal-plugin-mesh --lib passed: 69 passed, 0 failed. Log: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-build-test-28486bbe.log.
  • The subsequent full cargo build --locked -j3 --release -p infraternal stops in unrelated existing macOS code at crates/infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:424: SockFlag::SOCK_CLOEXEC is unavailable on macOS. This is the open #379 prerequisite; I did not bundle its fix into #381. The cleanup removed the target and temporary worktree before releasing the lock (TARGET_PRESENT=no, COMMAND_EXIT=101 in the same log); the Mac is back to 23 GB free.
  • The earlier cached Mac candidate was built from source head 2171a4b, not a670442 as its separate head receipt claimed. I compared its source snapshot: macos_node.rs is byte-identical to current #381; mesh_mtu.rs differs only in the visibility/doc line for MIN_MESH_MTU. Candidate SHA-256 remains c9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4. I will record its exact source provenance if used for the real path run.

The corrected verify quick is still queued at compute01 position 21 and has not started; admission is frozen for maintenance. The D348 perf run remains pending the valid calibration and lock handoff in #260.

J288 maintenance/rebase update:

  • While compute01 admission is frozen, I fetched the control-host repository and rebased mesh-mtu-381 onto the newer origin/dev fba745051416c60a8523f0fe529c2aee6bbe0dd0. Current rebased head is a9a81cae1 (route-retirement fix); the small compiler/doc/format correction is still unstaged. The remote job branch remains at its pre-rebase head until the correction passes quick and is committed.
  • The quick run queued before maintenance remains at position 21 and has not started. I will resync the rebased source and submit quick once, in the foreground, after the #402 back notice. The queued attempt will be treated as cut by maintenance, not as a gate failure.
  • Mac source files in the current base are unchanged from the earlier exact-head Mac test. The current Mac CLI build still fails at the open #379 SockFlag::SOCK_CLOEXEC issue; no #379 changes are included here.
  • D348 remains blocked by the missing passing calibration and lock handoff on #260; no perf-VM run has started.

Blocker update: the post-commit scripts/verify fast run was submitted once in the foreground on compute01 at 22:58 IST and is waiting at build-slot queue position 20. All five slots were busy and earlier jobs were ahead; no fast checks have started, so this is not a failure. It will reuse /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/target, the same target used by quick.

Gate finding: scripts/verify fast failed the session_retention test bounded_owned_exit_reconnects_as_ended_with_status. Its __shim child exited before the expected socket path appeared, so the fixture assertion at scripts/verify-session-retention.py:50 failed. The test and fixture are unchanged versus origin/dev; all five compute01 slots were occupied during this run. Fast is still running later rows, so no final gate result yet. Full log: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final.log. I am investigating before any retry or code change.

J288 fast-gate route finding. Both privileged route-retirement tests leave the orphan host routes present. A raw rtnetlink dump from an isolated Linux namespace confirms the kernel returns RTA_METRICS as type 0x0008 with nested=false, while preserving the nested RTAX_MTU=1200 payload. mesh_route_metrics_are_owned currently requires the outer nested flag, so it rejects the route it installed. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/route-metrics-flag-normalization.log (dev-02 kernel, no mesh interface or host route changes). I added a focused unit regression test for this normalized dump; dev-02 build-slot is currently occupied, so I have not run it or changed the matcher yet.

J288 namespace rerun on dev-02 after the matcher change: both affected tests now pass in real disposable network namespaces: orphan_route_retirement_preserves_foreign_routes ([65/101]) and restart_retires_orphan_peer_host_routes ([77/101]). The overall scripts/verify-privileged run exited 1 because 18 other nftables-related cases returned No such file or directory inside the sandbox; this is an intermediate aarch64 run, not the final x86 gate. Full log: claude@infraternal-dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-privileged-route-green.log. I am preserving those failures for diagnosis rather than treating the suite as green.

The exact normalized-metrics unit test is red before the matcher change and green after it (route-metric-normalization-red-exact.log, route-metric-normalization-green.log); the updated dev-02 verify quick passes (55 changed-feature tests, 0 failed; verify-quick-route-green.log). In the disposable namespace sweep, both orphan-route integration tests pass; the wider sweep still exits 1 on 18 nftables-related missing-file errors (verify-privileged-route-green.log). The pre-maintenance compute01 fast run is still the existing run on the previous head. I will not submit compute01 work until the owner posts the restart confirmation; final fast and real-path measurement remain pending.

Update after the #402 compute01 restart: the pre-maintenance scripts/verify fast run did not complete before the VM stopped. The SSH/build-slot run was cut by the restart, so I am excluding it as a test result rather than treating it as a code failure.

The #402 02:45 IST notice confirms compute01 is back with five slots. I am submitting the final verify fast once, in the foreground, on mesh-mtu-381 at 5ae1d1f0b2e619cd400724f6ec5570e165ff7b70. The same head's verify quick passed on dev-02; evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-route-green.log.

The Mac mesh library tests passed 131, 0 failed, 1 ignored under the Mac lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0; evidence: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mesh-tests-779950c0.log. Next I will run the real Mac↔compute01 measurement under ~/mesh-vm.claim and the Mac lock. D348 perf-VM measurement remains blocked by the missing passing calibration and lock handoff recorded on #260; I will not start a counted run without them.

Gate queue update: the single post-restart scripts/verify fast for 5ae1d1f0b2e619cd400724f6ec5570e165ff7b70 is waiting at compute01 build-slot position 21. No checks have started and I have not submitted a duplicate. The exact Nix/Cargo preflight passed (cargo 1.99.0).

Before queueing, I confirmed no active process had a cwd or open file under either J288 target. I kept /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/target (44 GiB), removed the inactive J288 worktree target (62 GiB), and restored the required ~/worktrees/j288/target symlink. Free disk is 92 GiB. The foreground SSH session is still attached; full output is being saved to /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final-5ae1d1f.log.

Resource checkpoint: compute01 still has five active slots and my same foreground fast-gate request has not started. Free disk is now 32 GiB (build-slot floor 25 GiB), down from 92 GiB at submission as other jobs use the VM. The J288 cache is already consolidated to one target; I will not delete or borrow another job's target.

Gate admission is now blocked by compute01 disk capacity. build-slot --status shows one free slot but only 8.6 GiB free, below its 25 GiB floor, so the same foreground request remains queued and no checks have started. J288 has only the retained 44 GiB scratch target (the inactive duplicate was removed before submission); I will not delete that cache or another job's target while the final gate still needs it. The build-slot waiter will recheck admission as space recovers.

Disk-floor recheck: compute01 is back below the build-slot admission floor at 20 GiB free. Five slots are occupied; the same verify fast request remains queued and has not started. I am preserving the single 44 GiB cache and waiting for capacity to recover; I will not bypass the gate or remove another job's target.

Latest admission check: compute01 now has 8.5 GiB free, still below the 25 GiB floor; all five slots are busy. The one final fast-gate waiter remains attached and has not started. No J288 target or other job's target has been deleted since the prior update.

Post-restart verify fast on compute01 exited 1 (log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final-5ae1d1f.log). It found one contradictory test assertion: route_retirement_accepts_only_our_exact_mtu_metric rejects the normalized RTA_METRICS shape accepted by the adjacent kernel-normalization test and matcher (wireguard.rs:1508). The static-build helper also failed with OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device; build-slot status now reports 15 GB free against its 25 GB floor. I am correcting only the stale test case, then will run the focused check and quick/fast gates on dev-02, which currently has one free slot and 58 GB free. The interrupted pre-restart run remains recorded separately.

The final verify fast on dev-02 completed at 36e7a6308f but is not green (full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final-36e7a63.log). static builds passed, including cross-compiled x86_64 (27,803,408 bytes; +5,385,152) and native aarch64 (25,006,408 bytes; +4,553,128). The workspace test row failed on an unrelated SSH streaming bounded-wait fixture. The privileged integration row failed in 17 nf_tables fixtures with No such file or directory in the dev-02 namespace environment; adjacent nft cases passed. This host result does not replace the compute01 gate, where those fixtures ran on the intended host. The J288 target reached 42 GB and free disk fell to 18 GB; I am deleting that target before continuing.

The dev-02 fast result is red due to missing-file failures in its nf_tables namespace fixtures (17 privileged probes) plus the SSH streaming bounded-wait fixture; its full evidence is at /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final-36e7a63.log. I removed J288’s 42 GB dev-02 target; free space is back to 59 GB. For a host-appropriate final gate, I am rerunning verify fast on compute01 at 36e7a6308. All five slots are busy and eight jobs are ahead, so it is queued through build-slot and I will wait in the foreground.

D348 normal-MTU perf-VM measurement remains blocked. #260 has no passing calibration or J288 lock-window handoff, and the latest isolation audit found unrelated runnable work on measured CPUs. I will not count samples or change masks without those prerequisites. The real Mac↔compute01 J267-path after-measurement is still pending the final compute gate and live-mesh claim.

Capacity update for the queued compute01 gate: it remains at queue position 3, but free space has fallen from 47 GB to 16 GB, below the 25 GB build-slot floor. It has not started. I am retaining the existing target cache (91 GB) so the pending gate can reuse it; no other target or job is being deleted. I will continue waiting for the slot and disk floor.

Capacity changed again while queued: compute01 is now at 6 GB free (25 GB build-slot floor), all five slots remain occupied, and the J288 gate is still position 3. The gate has not started. I am leaving the existing target untouched until admission is possible without a forced rebuild.

J288 progress, 2026-11-07 14:17 IST: compute01 maintenance is scheduled for 14:15–14:45 IST. I have not started any new compute01 work while waiting for the owner’s explicit ‘compute01 back, 5 slots’ notice. The live Mac↔compute01 before/after run remains pending because it needs that host and the live-mesh claim. I’m preparing the Mac measurement controller locally; the D348 perf-VM run still needs a calibrated lock handoff from #260.

It and the package are staged on the Mac; controller SHA-256 `6b9f007f468f87829e02f9f36e991aae4640492000852cb5e46570119fbb4868`, archive `d97838850325f142ae19eab71174c51b25aa08303ead6bc68c4b0bd880bfc6b5`. The candidate binary hash matches the expected `c9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4`. The Mac disk showed 24 GiB free; no Mac build target was created. Current Mac MTU source fingerprints match commit `a6704428c`; since then the Mac implementation only changed the visibility/comment of `MIN_MESH_MTU`, while route-netlink changes are Linux-only. The controller is not running yet because the live measurement depends on compute01, and I am waiting for the owner’s explicit return notice.

J288 status, 2026-11-07 14:46 IST: the announced maintenance window has passed. A read-only ssh ... true to compute01 succeeds, but I have not started any compute01 work because the requested “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice is not on #402 yet. The Mac after-measurement and compute-side setup remain pending that signal.

J288 resumed per owner correction: #402 comment 83012 records compute01 back with 5 slots at 02:45 IST; there has been no later freeze. No D348 or perf-VM window is needed for this live functional comparison. I am proceeding under the compute01 live-mesh claim and Mac lock with three repetitions for each direction (Linux→Mac and Mac→Linux), flow count (1 and 8), and path (mesh and plain), comparing shipped dev with head 36e7a6308f. I will post the full table and packet/ICMP observations after the runs.

J288 resumed measurement is waiting on the live-mesh claim. The atomic claim attempt found ~/mesh-vm.claim already held by J207 (since 2026-11-07T06:55:47Z); I did not overwrite it or touch live mesh state. I am waiting for the claim to be released, and no measurement run has started.

J288 measurement controller audit (2026-11-07): the staged live controller currently records one sample per path and does not run the baseline mesh pair. The retained J267 table has one mesh sample and two plain samples. Neither satisfies the corrected request for three repetitions across both shipped-dev and fixed-head paths.

I am replacing it with 12 measurement labels: shipped-dev and fixed-head × plain and mesh × 3 repetitions. Each label runs 1-flow and 8-flow TCP in both directions. I will also record route MTUs and maximum-size IPv4 DF pings in both directions to check the 1200-byte mesh route and detect ICMP/PMTU black-holing.

No live test has started. The compute01 mesh claim is still held by J207, and the Mac lock is busy. The compute01 Nix launcher check passed (cargo 1.99.0).

The functional Mac↔compute01 matrix does not use the perf lock or D348 calibration. The separate normal-MTU perf-VM comparison remains unavailable while J317/J279 own the perf window.

Live preflight finding: the J288 waiter acquired ~/mesh-vm.claim at 2026-11-07T11:16:23Z. The compute01 runner then found no Linux iperf3 executable in PATH, the Nix profile, /usr, or the prepared scratch paths. No interface or iperf server was started. I released the claim immediately after that preflight (CLAIM_RELEASED) and am preparing an iperf3 binary before reclaiming for the matrix.

The Mac lock was free at the last check; the controller and fixture archive remain staged at their unique /tmp paths with verified hashes.

Resolved the iperf preflight without a build: compute01 already has iperf3 3.21 at /nix/store/i6jh66v9gq8jz1d06z7463c9l8s9mjf1-iperf-3.21/bin/iperf3. --version confirms 3.21.

Live-run diagnostic and correction:

  • The first matrix invocation failed at argument validation before claim verification or any process/TUN startup. Root cause: it concatenated four valid SHA-256 strings and matched the 64-character validator. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/live-matrix-runner.log.
  • I corrected only the scratch runner. With four valid hashes it now advances to the claim check; a malformed hash is still rejected. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/digest-validator-valid-args.log and digest-validator-invalid-args.log.
  • While J288 held the mesh claim, a read-only preflight showed a preexisting infraternal0 interface, UP/NO-CARRIER, MTU 1380, with address 10.254.0.1/32. The runner did not create it. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/preflight-existing-interface-20261107.log. I have not removed or changed it because its ownership is not established.

I released the J288 claim after that preflight. The live matrix is waiting for the interface owner to clean up before retrying; the Mac controller did not start and no Mac lock was taken.

The scratch-runner digest fix is in place and its valid/invalid argument checks are recorded. A fresh, read-only check under the J288 claim at 2026-11-07T11:39:18Z confirmed the preexisting infraternal0 still exists at MTU 1380 with the same alias. I released the claim immediately afterward. I have not stopped or deleted it. The live matrix remains pending cleanup by whoever owns that interface; no Mac controller or measurement is running.

The preexisting infraternal0 is still present after releasing the J288 claim. Its alias/address do not identify an owner in the J288 evidence, and the task rules prohibit deleting an interface J288 did not create. Whoever owns it should clean it using their own run's cleanup, or identify its owner. J288 will retry as soon as the interface is gone; all binaries and runner dependencies are ready.

Live-mesh measurement update (2026-11-07, 17:44 IST)

The claim was held from 17:32 to 17:44 IST and has been released. The Mac route to compute01 reported MTU 1280 on utun100. The runner completed the three shipped-dev plain repetitions, then failed while starting the Linux test binary (binary closed connection), before configuring a mesh peer. This attempt therefore has no mesh or fixed-head results.

Partial shipped-dev plain throughput (Mbit/s; down is Linux→Mac, up is Mac→Linux):

Rep 1 flow down 1 flow up 8 flows down 8 flows up
1 127.4 75.1 424.8 154.0
2 114.8 57.3 73.2 140.9

It records the 1280-MTU route and cleanup (infraternal0 absent, Mac mesh interface absent, no new utun). The runner also terminated the Mac controller and released its lock. I am restarting the full matrix from a clean evidence directory after a no-mesh startup check.

Live-mesh retry update (2026-11-07, 17:53 IST)

The second attempt exited before mesh setup. Its report and mac-ssh.stderr show that the Mac controller refused the already-used evidence root. I had staged a rerun controller under a different filename while the Linux runner still invoked the original filename, so the old script ran. The controller also could not remove the staged /tmp files because it did not own them; I will clean those files explicitly and stage the corrected script at the exact path the runner uses.

The runner then rejected the J254 claim before launching the Mac controller or configuring a mesh interface. I am leaving J254's claim untouched and waiting in the foreground to re-claim after it is released.

Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/run-rerun2/evidence/mesh-mtu-live-matrix-report.json records the other job's claim and infraternal0 absent; the compute port 45269 is also free. No throughput sample ran in this attempt.

Live-mesh state update (2026-11-07, 18:13 IST)

After I released my claim at 18:07 IST, J254 re-claimed at 18:10 IST. The compute host now has a persistent infraternal0 TUN interface at MTU 1380 with a GotaTun alias. lsof -t /dev/net/tun reported no open process, and port 45269 is free. My preceding aborted run had confirmed infraternal0 absent; I did not create or touch the current interface.

Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/unowned-interface-after-j254-20261107-1243.txt. I am leaving the interface and J254's claim untouched and will resume the matrix when the claim is free and the interface has been cleaned up.

Live-mesh measurement update (2026-11-07, 19:13 IST)

The corrected output root captured all three shipped-dev plain repetitions, but the Linux agent again closed its fixture connection before mesh setup. The Mac route was MTU 1280. The runner cleaned up; Linux infraternal0 and port 45269 were absent, and the Mac controller reported no mesh interface or new utun. The claim held from 19:07 to 19:13 IST and has been released.

Partial shipped-dev plain throughput (Mbit/s; down is Linux→Mac, up is Mac→Linux):

Rep 1 flow down 1 flow up 8 flows down 8 flows up
1 99.5 105.5 218.8 130.7
2 58.8 74.4 158.7 123.0
3 47.5 102.1 495.1 103.5

Failure report: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/run-final-live/evidence/mesh-mtu-live-matrix-report.json.

I will retain Linux stderr logs in the next attempt and retry from a fresh evidence root.

Live-mesh runner diagnosis (2026-11-07, 19:27 IST)

The Linux startup stderr identifies the failure: infraternal agent failed: path must be shorter than SUN_LEN. The runner put the agent's state beneath a deep evidence/scratch directory, making its AF_UNIX socket path too long before mesh setup. This attempt therefore has no mesh result; the three shipped-dev plain samples are recorded, and should not be compared with mesh data.

Evidence: report /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/run-final-attempt2/evidence/mesh-mtu-live-matrix-report.json; startup stderr /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/run-final-attempt2/evidence/linux-agent-node-a7f2rvy5.stderr. The report confirms no Linux interface; the Mac controller report records no mesh interface or new utun. The claim is absent now. Next run will keep evidence in the existing directory and put runtime scratch under a short /tmp path.

J288 live Mac ↔ compute01 matrix, attempt 8 (2026-11-07). Underlay was NetBird (wt0/utun100) at MTU 1280. Three repetitions per path/flow/build; all rates are Mbit/s. “Down” means Linux → Mac; “up” means Mac → Linux. Values are median (raw repetitions), except where fewer than two samples were valid.

Build Path Linux → Mac, 1 flow Linux → Mac, 8 flows Mac → Linux, 1 flow Mac → Linux, 8 flows
shipped dev plain 110.4 (110.4, 114.3, 70.4) 178.2 (497.1, 178.2, 139.3) 96.8 (79.9, 101.8, 96.8) 135.5 (289.8, 135.5, 84.2)
shipped dev mesh 0.4 (0.3, 0.4, 0.4) n=1: 58.0 (ERR, ERR, 58.0) 67.7 (63.9, 96.5, 67.7) n=1: 65.7 (ERR, ERR, 65.7)
fixed Linux head 36e7a6308 plain 105.8 (106.0, 105.8, 71.3) 235.3 (250.4, 211.9, 235.3) 99.4 (79.8, 99.7, 99.4) 162.9 (162.9, 193.5, 93.0)
fixed Linux head 36e7a6308 mesh 78.0 (64.3, 78.0, 84.0) 259.0 (124.8, 267.1, 259.0) 96.1 (60.2, 97.6, 96.1) 131.9 (99.2, 131.9, 155.2)

The shipped-dev mesh 8-flow runs had iperf control-channel errors in two of three repetitions in each direction; those are recorded as ERR, not throughput. With the fix, Linux → Mac mesh is 78.0 Mbit/s at 1 flow versus 105.8 plain (1.36× lower), and 259.0 at 8 flows versus 235.3 plain. Mac → Linux remains near plain at 1 flow (96.1 vs 99.4) and 8 flows (131.9 vs 162.9).

The fixed Linux binary was built from 36e7a6308f5561181b56cf44b67f479a33d6d0f6. The fixed Mac binary reports source 2171a4b409413f57d2f3d11fb5cba1b7c4733025, an equivalent route-MTU implementation commit. Comparing that source to 36e7a6308, the only mesh-source differences are Linux route handling and the visibility of a constant used by that Linux code; macos_node.rs and the macOS route-MTU implementation are unchanged. An exact-head Mac rebuild was attempted under the Mac lock, but the unrelated infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:424 SockFlag::SOCK_CLOEXEC compile error stopped it. The Mac source provenance is therefore disclosed rather than labeled as an exact-head build.

Packet-size evidence: both peers installed a 1200-byte route MTU over the 1280-byte underlay; the Linux mesh link stayed at 1280 for IPv6. 1200-byte inner IPv4 probes passed 3/3 in both directions. Linux rejected a 1201-byte DF probe locally with sendmsg: Message too long; Mac's 1201-byte probes received replies. The run showed no PMTU black-holing at these boundaries.

Cleanup passed at the end of this attempt: the report records no Linux mesh interface, and the Mac controller records no mesh interface or new utun and stopped: true. A later state check sees the next job's claim (J254, 2026-11-07T15:35:27Z) and its infraternal0; I left that state untouched.

The static failure is scripts/test-rustc-paths.py:28, which asserts the wrong source path under a symlinked target.

The separate normal-MTU perf-VM comparison has not run. At the latest check, the perf lock was free but J317 had announced its corrected D348 comparison sequence; perf.slice was restored to AllowedCPUs=EffectiveCPUs=1-3. I did not acquire or queue a competing run, and changed no perf CPU masks. The existing J288 direction allows an owner-directed, uncalibrated matched hold after D348 readiness; this measurement remains pending that shared window.

D348 perf status follow-up: J288 has no run queued. A later nonblocking check found the shared perf lock held and perf.slice temporarily on CPUs 0–5. I have not touched the perf VM or its CPU masks. The separate normal-MTU comparison remains pending until this shared hold is released.

J350 progress: the scratch merge of reviewed head 36e7a6308 with dev 6b1bdb81b is 8c646d886713c21ef4461d472d82ea6b2468d27d; all mesh production files are unchanged by that merge. On Mac, under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, 69 agent-feature mesh library tests pass and cargo build --locked -j3 --release -p infraternal passes. Binary SHA-256 30522c9ba591baa11836ac76db9f558c38cfd8364edf33c1f6a2104f88e061eb; target cleanup completed before unlock. Receipt: /Users/lume/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/mac-nix.log. The first plain-shell build stopped at a checksum-tool mismatch; the repository Nix shell resolves it.

The three requested route-retirement integration tests pass as uid 0 through cua + sudo -n, each in a fresh dev-02 network namespace. This includes foreign interface/protocol/prefix/table/local routes and gateway routes. Normalized-metrics tests pass (2/2), MTU unit tests pass (6/6). Receipts on control host: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/root-routes.log and linux-unit.log.

I recalculated every matrix median from the Mac raw end.sum_received.bits_per_second values; J288's matrix matches, including the four explicit ERR cells. Current-dev 6b1bdb81b independently reproduces #421: symlink target exit 1, physical target exit 0, identical wrapper/remap/toolchain inputs. Receipts: matrix-audit.txt, path-controls.log, and the copied author fast log in the same evidence directory.

Remaining: focused adversarial tests for MTU refresh, egress-link upper bound, and relay framing. The first is at the front of dev-02's slot queue; the relay run is queued separately on the same single-slot host and same target. No live mesh interfaces or services have been changed. Verdict pending those results.

J350 progress: the scratch merge of reviewed head `36e7a6308` with dev `6b1bdb81b` is `8c646d886713c21ef4461d472d82ea6b2468d27d`; all mesh production files are unchanged by that merge. On Mac, under `lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock`, 69 agent-feature mesh library tests pass and `cargo build --locked -j3 --release -p infraternal` passes. Binary SHA-256 `30522c9ba591baa11836ac76db9f558c38cfd8364edf33c1f6a2104f88e061eb`; target cleanup completed before unlock. Receipt: `/Users/lume/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/mac-nix.log`. The first plain-shell build stopped at a checksum-tool mismatch; the repository Nix shell resolves it. The three requested route-retirement integration tests pass as uid 0 through `cua` + `sudo -n`, each in a fresh dev-02 network namespace. This includes foreign interface/protocol/prefix/table/local routes and gateway routes. Normalized-metrics tests pass (2/2), MTU unit tests pass (6/6). Receipts on control host: `~/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/root-routes.log` and `linux-unit.log`. I recalculated every matrix median from the Mac raw `end.sum_received.bits_per_second` values; J288's matrix matches, including the four explicit ERR cells. Current-dev `6b1bdb81b` independently reproduces #421: symlink target exit 1, physical target exit 0, identical wrapper/remap/toolchain inputs. Receipts: `matrix-audit.txt`, `path-controls.log`, and the copied author fast log in the same evidence directory. Remaining: focused adversarial tests for MTU refresh, egress-link upper bound, and relay framing. The first is at the front of dev-02's slot queue; the relay run is queued separately on the same single-slot host and same target. No live mesh interfaces or services have been changed. Verdict pending those results.

J350 confirmed findings at reviewed head 36e7a6308 (production mesh code unchanged in scratch merge 8c646d886):

P2: refresh all affected route metrics, not just changed peer records (node.rs:1887-1919). Root reproducer: start with underlay MTU 1500, peer 2 route MTU 1420; narrow the underlay to 1280, then successfully apply a delta adding peer 3. Peer 3 receives MTU 1200, while unchanged peer 2 remains at 1420. The shared interface re-derivation does not refresh that peer's route. This can bring back oversized encapsulated traffic after a route change even when a later snapshot applies successfully. full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu fails as expected, exit 101.

P2: bound an explicit route MTU by the egress link MTU before subtracting overhead (wireguard.rs:1116-1119). Linux permits an explicit route metric above the output interface MTU. On a 1280-byte dummy link, an endpoint route MTU 9000 results in mesh route MTU 8920. endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtu fails as expected, exit 101. This requires local/stale route state, not a peer-supplied raw MTU; I am not claiming arbitrary remote control of the metric.

Both ran as uid 0 through cua + sudo -n, each inside its own network namespace, with cleanup before the assertions. Full receipt: control host /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/mtu-repro-root.log. Regression tests are committed on the review-only branch review-j350; no production code or dev branch changed. Relay framing proof is still pending its build slot. Final verdict will follow that run.

J350 independent correctness review: REQUEST CHANGES.

Reviewed mesh-mtu-381 at 36e7a6308f5561181b56cf44b67f479a33d6d0f6 against origin/dev 6b1bdb81b3d8eb90716643e7d1bd03f61ce37827. Native checks use scratch merge 8c646d886713c21ef4461d472d82ea6b2468d27d; its production mesh files are byte-identical to the submitted head. No merge to dev, deployment, or production service changes.

Findings (no P3 findings):

  • P1: the new direct-path MTU budget breaks relay datagrams, including normal 1500-byte paths. mesh_mtu.rs:41-44,65-70 derives only the direct WireGuard budget. The relay handoff in node.rs:734 / gotatun_node.rs:661 updates the endpoint without refreshing the route, and relay_path.rs:500 drops SendDatagramError::TooLarge. The live QUIC regression test negotiated an actual datagram maximum of 1434 on a 1500-byte IPv4 path: a frame for the old 1380 inner budget (1416 bytes) is accepted, while the new 1420 budget (at least 1456 bytes before any padding) returns TooLarge. On a 1280 path, the maximum is 1214 and the new 1200 budget needs at least 1236, also TooLarge. This reproduces the packet-budget failure using the real relay/TLS/QUIC code; it is not a full mesh throughput rerun. QUIC framing and the relay's 4-byte link id need a separate budget based on the actual connection's max_datagram_size, including path changes. Artifact: relay.log; test narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram fails as expected.
  • P2: successful full snapshot application leaves an unchanged peer with a stale route MTU. node.rs:1887-1919 derives the shared link budget from every peer but rewrites routes only for changed peers. An unchanged peer can retain its old budget even after a successful snapshot application observes the new path MTU. The endpoint-only path does rewrite all peer routes; the access-only fast path does not. There is no live route-change monitor, as disclosed in J288's initial plan. Root test: underlay 1500→1280, then add peer 3; existing peer 2 retains MTU 1420 while new peer 3 gets 1200. full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu fails, exit 101 (mtu-repro-root.log). Refresh every affected route when re-deriving, including unchanged peers; the interface floor alone cannot reserve encapsulation overhead.
  • P2: an explicit/stale route metric can exceed the actual egress link MTU. wireguard.rs:1116-1119 returns a route metric without bounding it by the output interface MTU. An explicit/stale route MTU can exceed the link MTU; subtracting 80 from that value is unsafe. Root test: endpoint route metric 9000 on a 1280-byte dummy link installs mesh route MTU 8920. endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtu fails, exit 101 (mtu-repro-root.log). This is a local/stale route-state case, not arbitrary remote MTU injection. Query both and use the smaller effective underlay ceiling before subtracting overhead.

Checks and evidence:

  • Subtracting 80 is conservative for IPv4 outer overhead 60 and correct for IPv6 overhead 80. IPv4 loses 20 bytes of possible budget. The shared link's 1280 floor preserves IPv6 addresses; per-peer route metrics may be smaller. Inputs are kernel/local route state, not a peer-supplied MTU field; the numeric conversion is bounded to 68..65535. That numerical bound does not establish that the value fits the actual path. No new authentication/secret-handling flaw found.
  • Route retirement: normalized outer RTA_METRICS is accepted with or without NLA_F_NESTED; exactly one nonnested four-byte RTAX_MTU is required. Extra/duplicate/malformed metrics remain foreign. Deletion also requires the recorded address inventory, matching interface index, main table 254, static protocol, host prefix, family-specific scope and no gateway/other modifiers. Three integration tests passed as uid 0 through cua + sudo -n, in separate dev-02 network namespaces: restart_retires_orphan_peer_host_routes, restart_preserves_operator_gateway_host_route, and orphan_route_retirement_preserves_foreign_routes. The latter preserves foreign interface/protocol/prefix/table/local routes. Artifact: root-routes.log. MTU unit tests 6/6 and metric-shape tests 2/2 pass (linux-unit.log).
  • macOS: under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, the explicit agent-feature mesh library suite passed 69/69, and cargo build --locked -j3 --release -p infraternal passed. Binary SHA-256 30522c9ba591baa11836ac76db9f558c38cfd8364edf33c1f6a2104f88e061eb. The source hashes in mac-nix.log match both reviewed files exactly (macos_node.rs and mesh_mtu.rs). TARGET_CLEANED was emitted inside the lock and a subsequent check confirms no target remains. This closes the old SOCK_CLOEXEC build gap using current dev; the earlier matrix's Mac binary remains correctly identified as source 2171a4b.
  • Matrix: independently recalculated all medians from the Mac raw end.sum_received.bits_per_second values. J288's table matches, including Linux→Mac fixed mesh 78.024 / 259.003 Mbit/s, plain 105.804 / 235.303, and baseline mesh 0.435 at one flow. The two failed baseline eight-flow repetitions in each direction remain ERR, not throughput. Artifact: matrix-audit.txt; original raw data retained in mac-raw.tar, Linux report in matrix.json. This audits the recorded run, not an independent throughput rerun. Wide sample spread does not establish an eight-flow performance advantage over plain, and the normal-MTU perf comparison is still absent.
  • Boundary evidence: matrix.json confirms 1200-byte inner IPv4 probes pass 3/3 each way; Linux locally rejects 1201-byte DF (EMSGSIZE); Mac's 1201-byte DF passes. That supports “no black-holing at these tested boundaries.” It does not prove general PMTU correctness: with an IPv4 outer packet, 1201+60 still fits 1280, and neither relay framing, IPv6 outer paths, later MTU changes, nor remote ICMP/PTB behavior is established by those probes. No blanket no-black-hole conclusion is warranted.
  • #421: independently reproduced on current unmodified dev helper inputs: symlinked target fails at test-rustc-paths.py:28 (exit 1); physical target passes (exit 0). git diff --quiet confirms the helper, wrapper, remap flags and toolchain are identical between the submitted head and current dev. Artifact: path-controls.log. This is a baseline failure, not introduced by #381. The author's final fast log has exactly this one failed row; its static row stops before compiling fresh static artifacts, so it is not proof of new static artifact sizes.

The three failing regression tests are committed and pushed only to review-j350 at 38e3ddcd0e40348b505fc680ce13e572be72f22b (test source). The first two run as real root in disposable network namespaces; the third uses a real loopback relay connection with an explicit path payload limit, without a timing assertion. Both Linux and Mac job targets have been deleted; cleanup is recorded in cleanup.log and the locked Mac log.

All J350 artifacts named above are retained at /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/ on the control host; selected raw logs are attached. Mac original log: /Users/lume/.cache/codex-scratch/j350/evidence/mac-nix.log. Per the common brief's reviewer rule, I did not rerun quick/fast. The author's final verify fast summary at the submitted head, read from author-fast.log, is quoted below.

J288 design update before implementation (J350 review fixes)

The direct-path decision remains route-derived MTU. I will make the route budget depend on the active path:

  • Direct WireGuard: min(endpoint route MTU, egress link MTU) - 80. The 80-byte reserve covers the IPv6 outer header, UDP, and WireGuard; IPv4 is conservatively smaller.
  • Relay: derive from the active connection's live max_datagram_size(). Quinn 0.11.12 defines that value as the maximum application payload passed to send_datagram() and already reserves QUIC packet and DATAGRAM framing overhead, so that framing is counted exactly once. Subtract the 32-byte WireGuard packet overhead and the relay's 4-byte link ID. The observed 1434/1214-byte limits therefore allow 1398/1178-byte inner packets. The focused test will send at that derived boundary through a real QUIC relay connection.

I will recalculate the peer route when its active path changes, recheck the live QUIC limit while the relay connection remains active, and update the route as soon as the limit changes (with an immediate refresh on TooLarge). A full peer snapshot will refresh every installed peer route, even when a peer's WireGuard record is unchanged; active relay budgets remain the route source for relayed peers. The shared TUN/utun keeps its IPv6-safe 1280-byte floor while peer host routes carry smaller path budgets. macOS will use the same budget helpers and its native route updater.

Trade-offs: route metrics may be below IPv6's 1280-byte link minimum, but packets are constrained per peer while the shared interface retains the required floor. The direct 80-byte reserve gives up up to 20 bytes on IPv4 for one cross-platform rule. Polling live QUIC limits adds a small periodic check per relay connection, while avoiding a new ICMP parser or a TCP-only MSS clamp. relay_path is currently Linux-gated; I will verify the existing Mac surface as part of the native build and record any limitation on the forced-relay Mac leg rather than claiming it was measured.

**J288 design update before implementation (J350 review fixes)** The direct-path decision remains route-derived MTU.

J350 relay regression test is red on macOS at merged head 2a621416d (before MTU implementation changes). Under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, the real loopback QUIC relay reported max_datagram_size=Some(1214) on a 1280 path and Some(1434) on a 1500 path. The current 1200/1420 inner budgets require 1236/1456-byte relay payloads and both send_datagram calls return TooLarge; the legacy 1380 packet still succeeds at 1500. Expected assertion failure: narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram. Artifact: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-j350-red-r2.log. The target was deleted before the lock was released (TARGET_CLEANED). The first Mac invocation stopped at compile time because it omitted the required test-support feature; that runner error is retained as mac-j350-red.log and is superseded by the valid red run above.

J350 relay regression test is red on macOS at merged head `2a621416d` (before MTU implementation changes). Under `lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock`, `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0`, the real loopback QUIC relay reported `max_datagram_size=Some(1214)` on a 1280 path and `Some(1434)` on a 1500 path. The current 1200/1420 inner budgets require 1236/1456-byte relay payloads and both `send_datagram` calls return `TooLarge`; the legacy 1380 packet still succeeds at 1500. Expected assertion failure: `narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram`. Artifact: `/Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-j350-red-r2.log`.

J288 resumed implementation on branch mesh-mtu-381 at merge base 2a621416d (36e7a6308 plus dev 6b1bdb81b). The agreed design and Mac red evidence are above. I confirmed the Linux route refresh, egress-link bound, and relay connection data flow. The focused Linux relay regression is queued on dev-02 with an explicit workspace manifest after an initial command-directory setup error; no implementation changes have been made yet.

J288 red evidence: narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram fails on dev-02 before implementation, in a real QUIC relay connection. At a 1280 underlay the current 1200-byte inner route requires 1236 bytes while Quinn permits 1214 (TooLarge); at 1500 the 1420-byte route requires 1456 while Quinn permits 1434 (TooLarge). The legacy 1380-byte packet fits only at 1500. Raw output: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-relay-red-r3.log (SHA-256 349b22e042685a47977e3358e9f421c60da0c252cd4d3262b52185a1115924dd).

J288 continuation on mesh-mtu-381 at merge base 2a621416d (the review head 36e7a6308 plus dev 6b1bdb81b). The three J350 regressions are red before the pending code edits: the real QUIC relay rejects 1200/1420-byte inner budgets at max payloads 1214/1434 (linux-relay-red-r3.log, mac-j350-relay-red-current.log); Linux writes route MTU 8920 over a 1280 link and leaves an unchanged peer at 1420 after narrowing (linux-route-red-r1.log); the Mac route parser also accepts metric 9000 over link MTU 1280 (mac-j350-egress-red-current.log). Evidence is under /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/.

Implementation plan: keep the direct route-derived budget; clamp route metrics by egress MTU; refresh all peer routes on full snapshots; apply an active relay override based on each live Quinn connection's max_datagram_size() and update it at relay transitions and when the connection limit changes. Quinn documents this as the maximum application payload passed to send_datagram, already accounting for QUIC packet and DATAGRAM framing, so the safe route budget subtracts WireGuard's 32 bytes and the relay's 4-byte id once (1398/1178 at the observed limits). The current macOS updater already compares route MTUs for every retained peer on each config apply; I will preserve that and verify it on the Mac. Production relay_path remains Linux-gated, so its live route refresh will be exercised on compute01; the QUIC boundary test itself runs on both OSes.

J288 review-fix progress: branch mesh-mtu-381 remains at review base 2a621416d (merged dev through 6b1bdb81b). The red evidence for relay sizing, route metric bounding and unchanged-peer refresh is retained under /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/. The first Linux green attempt compiled the test and found E0500 in endpoint-only refresh: the closure borrowed self for the engine update and then called a route-refresh method on self while the old config borrow remained live. I changed that path to capture the shared relay override state and peer snapshot before entering the closure. No green test has run yet; focused Linux verification is next.

J288 J350 relay regression green on Linux (dev-02 aarch64). The real Quinn connection advertised max_datagram_size 1214 at a 1280-byte path and 1434 at 1500. Budgets 1178/1398 plus 32-byte WireGuard overhead and the 4-byte link id sent successfully; the current 1200/1420 budgets returned TooLarge. Shipped 1380 still fits the 1500 relay path and fails only on the narrow path. Test: narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram, 1 passed. Full receipt: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-relay-green-dev02.log. The unrelated launcher attempt before this run exited before Cargo because it did not cd into the worktree; no test was executed in that attempt.

Green evidence now covers the real Quinn relay boundary on dev-02, the 152-test Linux mesh library suite, and both root route regressions in isolated compute01 network namespaces. I am merging the current origin/dev head next, then I will run the requested quick gate and build/test the Mac at the exact merged head under its lock.

J288 blocked on compute01 availability at 2026-11-07 23:33Z. SSH returned No route to host while verify fast was compiling the aarch64 release artifact. The foreground gate session has not returned an exit status, so this is not recorded as a test failure. No new build or live-mesh work has started. I will follow BRIEF-COMMON and retry compute01 after five minutes; the active gate log is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-299056f17-compute01.log.

J288 final-head verify fast rerun completed on compute01 at 299056f17cfcae806a3e117359bbee0b5043c152, but the gate exited 1. The failure is separate from the known source-path gate issue #421: infraternal-plugin-ssh --test previous_attempt_shell failed shared_ownership_shell_preserves_recovery_and_refusal_invariants (24/122 shell checks; exit codes 73/75, one live busy where the fixture expected live ready). Privileged integration and static builds passed. Full evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-final-299056f17-compute01-rerun.log.

I am checking this focused test on origin/dev on compute01 before deciding whether it is an unrelated baseline/environment failure or a regression.

J288 baseline control update: the focused shared_ownership_shell_preserves_recovery_and_refusal_invariants test passed on current origin/dev 7dc56b8e89ab8a9ccbfa59de3f1cfa8d776ba23f on compute01 (1 passed, 0 failed, 186.71 s; exit 0). Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/origin-dev-previous-attempt-shell-7dc56b8.log. The branch was based on earlier dev 6ffe37e, so I am checking that exact base before classifying the J288 gate failure.

J288 measurement binary progress: shipped-dev app and relay fixture were built at 9b0c731e89b70408ac719ef3a10cb1bf36bebf99; fixed-head app and relay fixture were built at 299056f17cfcae806a3e117359bbee0b5043c152 with a fresh isolated target, and the target was cleaned.

The first builder reused one target across the two worktrees and its fixed-head app compile failed with mismatched remote-rotation symbols; that run was not used. Its log is build-live-binaries.log. The final-only fresh-target build returned BUILD_EXIT=0 (build-fixed-head-only.log). I am proceeding with isolated relay proofs.

J288 review-response work started on branch mesh-mtu-381 at base 299056f17cfcae806a3e117359bbee0b5043c152. The direct-path win stands. Red-first coverage is in progress for the relay datagram padding boundary and J350 route-refresh / egress-MTU cases on Linux and macOS. The fixed-head relay diagnostic on compute01 recorded both peer routes at MTU 1398 and 18 TooLarge drops before its TCP transfer timed out; I am retrieving and preserving that receipt while the Mac red run finishes.

Follow-up plan (estimate: 4 hours plus shared-slot/lock waits): finish the Mac red-first parity run under the Mac lock and clean its target; apply the relay budget block-alignment correction; run J350 coverage on Linux and the equivalent Mac unit tests; then run quick on dev-02 and fast on compute01. Finally rebuild the shipped-dev and exact-head binaries, repeat the requested direct mesh/plain matrix plus one forced-relay transfer, clean all interfaces/servers and targets, release the live-mesh claim, and post the logs and tables here. The Mac step is currently waiting in the foreground for /tmp/mac-bench.lock.

J350 red-first Linux evidence from the pre-fix j288-red fixture on dev-02:

  • linux-relay-red-r3.log: the relay accepted the shipped 1380-byte inner packet on the 1500 path, but the derived 1200/1420 packets produced 1236/1456-byte relay payloads against Quinn maxima 1214/1434; both returned TooLarge.
  • linux-route-red-r1.log: with the underlay link at MTU 1280 and an explicit route metric of 9000, the mesh route was MTU 8920. After adding an unrelated peer, the new route was 1200 but the unchanged peer stayed at 1420.

The current #381 implementation already contains the egress-link bound and full-snapshot refresh paths. The new relay-padding test also reproduced 1178 != 1168 on both Linux and Mac. I’m validating the fixes at the current head now.

J288 resumed review response on mesh-mtu-381, current head 4ca886f65efc33a007bd604d125c1fc22903d1ee. I fetched origin/dev at 5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223; per the request I will merge that dev head, resolve any mesh conflicts against the J350 MTU regressions, then rerun the named red/green cases and the quick/fast gates. Plan: Mac exact-head tests under /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 and target cleanup; quick on dev-02; fast on compute01; rebuild shipped-dev and merged-head binaries; run the direct Mac↔compute01 matrix plus one forced-relay path under ~/mesh-vm.claim; clean all interfaces, servers, targets and release locks/claim; attach the measurement table and gate evidence. Estimate: 4 hours plus shared-slot and Mac-lock waits.

Prior red/green evidence and the passing pre-merge quick log remain in the paths recorded in the preceding J288 update; these are not evidence for the merged head. Mac reports 20 GiB free and has no target/ under the J288 checkout, so I am checking its worktree location before the locked build.

The merge overlapped the new GotaTun key-rotation worker with MTU updates and route ownership. Resolution keeps both serialized worker commands, the live TUN MTU watcher, dev's rotation link proof, Mac key updates, and the unchanged-peer route refresh. The earlier Linux and Mac red evidence remains in the preceding comment; all exact-head green/gate evidence is still pending.

J288 progress at 7b8406ad5192ae18248c898823b9ded03d0b9088: verify fast is still running on compute01 through build-slot; log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-7b8406-compute01.log. The partial run has a node_actions::tests::failed_cleanup_reports_stopping_and_reconnect_keeps_explicit_off failure (configure: Rejected) plus several review_* nftables namespace failures. I am not classifying these as branch or host failures until the gate exits and I compare controls. The symlinked-target source-path failure is already tracked separately in #421 with origin/dev and physical-target controls. Quick and exact-head Mac tests remain recorded as passing. After the gate I will finish the direct Mac↔compute01 matrix and forced-relay comparison, then post the results and cleanup evidence.

J288 follow-up start — continuing mesh-mtu-381 at 7b8406ad5192ae18248c898823b9ded03d0b9088; base is current origin/dev 5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223.

The J350 test-only review commit 38e3ddc records all three failures against submitted head 36e7a6308 (relay.log and mtu-repro-root.log in the review evidence). The current branch contains 2647e8f for endpoint-route clamping and full peer-route refresh, and 4ca886f for relay sizing after WireGuard 16-byte padding. I am checking those cases at the merged head on Linux and macOS, then I will run the requested gates and live matrix. #421 is already open with the origin/dev symlink-target control; I will append a fresh control receipt.

J288 progress — Linux regressions and quick pre-check

The J350 test-only change 38e3ddc fails against submitted 36e7a6308 with the expected stale route MTUs and relay TooLarge results (review artifacts mtu-repro-root.log and relay.log). At the merged head 7b8406ad5, all three focused regressions pass on Linux dev-02 in isolated namespaces:

  • narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram: pass; safe inner MTUs 1168 at max_datagram_size=1214 and 1392 at 1434; frames 1204 and 1428 accepted. Log: claude@infraternal-dev-02-std:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-relay-budget-green.log.

J288 finding at head 231143ade3c8f7a62dcd3b197053235dcdccdc24:

The first compute01 verify fast run failed the two route-MTU regressions because ip route get omitted the configured per-route MTU in its lookup-cache output. The assertions now inspect the exact peer-prefix FIB entry with ip route show exact, which reflects the installed route metric.

Both focused compute01 namespace tests pass at the pushed head:

  • endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtu: underlay link MTU 1280, installed mesh route MTU 1200.
  • full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu: unchanged peer route 1420 before the path narrows, then 1200 after; the newly added peer is also 1200.

The earlier gate log is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast.log; its remaining unit-test failure was logins::durable_tests::login_durable_writes_leave_the_reactor_responsive, which I will recheck in the final gate run.

J288 review-response continuation at mesh-mtu-381 head 231143ade3f260e081fb23ee0513bd3a0872c707. The branch already merges current origin/dev 5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223 at 7b8406ad5; that dev history includes the macOS build fix from #379.

Plan (estimate: 4 hours plus shared-slot/lock waits): isolate the privileged failures from the previous fast run against the passing origin/dev control; use the J350 regression tests red-first and green on Linux and macOS; fix any confirmed regression and commit/push atomically; rerun quick on dev-02 and fast on compute01; build and test the Mac at the final head under /tmp/mac-bench.lock; then measure shipped dev versus the final head on the live Mac↔compute01 path (plain/mesh, both directions, 1/8 flows, 3 repetitions, plus a forced relay), clean all resources and post evidence.

The three J350 assertions have prior red receipts on Linux and Mac and green receipts on Linux; the Mac exact-head tests previously passed at 7b8406ad5, before the route-observation test-only commit. The current compute01 fast log and the origin/dev control are being inspected before the next code change. No new VM run is queued.

J288 finding: the previous fast failure was introduced at the live-link proof boundary. Node::apply now needs an interface index before it can update the MTU; owned_gotatun_link delegated to rotation_link, which requires a durable node_state::Store. Namespace integration fixtures construct a live in-memory Node::with_firewall without that store, so the first full snapshot returned NotConnected before MTU configuration. The unmodified origin/dev privileged control passed 105/105 (/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-privileged-origin-dev-5d34.log).

The focused red receipt is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/focused-authorized-reenrollment-diag.log; the marker confirms failure at the ownership proof. The fix keeps durable proof for restored nodes and proves a fresh in-memory node against its live GotaTun engine handle and generated identity key. The clean privileged reenrollment test now passes 1/1 at current source: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/focused-authorized-reenrollment-clean.log. Next I’m running quick, then the full fast gate on compute01 to confirm the other first-snapshot failures clear.

J288 live-matrix harness correction: the prior Mac controller ran as lume, but macos_key::load_or_create requires effective root. That attempt stopped before mesh throughput was measured; its partial plain-only samples are excluded.

I corrected the controller to run as root under /tmp/mac-bench.lock, preserve HOME=/Users/lume, and return report ownership to lume. The full direct matrix is being rerun now.

Finding: the current live run stops at Mac mesh.configure before any mesh throughput sample. The Mac controller reply is just Rejected, but tracing the data path shows the scratch chunk omits local_key; macos_node::chunk requires local_key == the enabled Mac identity key. The capture shows the actual underlay through utun100 at MTU 1280 and no mesh utun after cleanup. Failed controller receipt: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-rooted-0f85e3a2e/diagnostics/mac-controller-report.json; failure trace: .../diagnostics/mac-ssh.stderr. I will add the public local_key to the measurement fixture, merge current origin/dev (abad8c6c0), rebuild/test Mac at the resulting exact head, then rerun the matrix. Earlier plain-only samples remain excluded.

J288 gate finding at exact head 35e3f08bac0813807741ada4d46789415c1b9a2c:

verify fast exited 1. Every Rust gate row passed, including the workspace tests, 102 privileged integration checks, and static builds. The remaining Tracer suite reports 654 passed and 1 failed: docs-build.test.ts says doc.js stays small, expected < 12000 bytes, received 13408.

This reproduces on current origin/dev 7c8bd2221a2cfabd1cbf2f839edc3a1aeb3bfb7a in a clean detached worktree on dev-02: bun test docs-build.test.ts reports 16 passed and the same one failure with the same 13,408-byte result. The mesh branch changes no Tracer files. Evidence:

  • Submitted head gate: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-fast-35e3f08-compute01.log
  • Current origin/dev control: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/docs-origin-dev-control.log

This is an existing origin/dev gate failure, so I’m continuing with the requested live measurement. The separate symlinked-target static-path gate issue is already tracked with control evidence in #421.

J288 review-response: the direct Linux↔Mac matrix completed at head 35e3f08bac on the real compute01↔Mac path. It ran 2026-11-08 15:27:21–15:47:40 UTC with three repetitions per path/flow count. The underlay was MTU 1280 on both sides, with about 149 ms idle median RTT. “Down” is Linux→Mac; “up” is Mac→Linux. Rates are Mbit/s; each cell lists the three samples and their median where all three completed.

Build/path Flows Linux→Mac Mac→Linux
shipped dev / plain 1 127.4, 140.2, 136.4 (136.4) 105.6, 102.1, 106.8 (105.6)

The shipped-dev Linux mesh link stayed at MTU 1380 over the 1280 underlay. At 35e3f08 the Linux mesh link was 1280 with peer route MTU 1200; the Mac route to its peer also reported MTU 1200. The 1200-byte Linux DF probe passed; the 1201-byte probe was rejected locally with “Message too long.” All fixed-head mesh iperf samples completed. This removes the Linux→Mac collapse: one-flow mesh median is 129.4 Mbit/s versus 141.7 plain, and eight-flow is 408.6 versus 504.2 plain.

Cleanup passed: the claim was released, no Linux mesh interface or iperf listener remained, and the Mac report found no mesh utun left.

The combined runner log is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-35e3f08/evidence/run-live-matrix.log.

The first wrapper invocation stopped before starting a node because it created the controller’s required-new evidence directory; it released the claim and made no interface. The successful retry used a separate results directory. I’m now rerunning the forced-relay comparison.

J288 final review response at mesh-mtu-381 head 35e3f08bac0813807741ada4d46789415c1b9a2c (not merged).

J350 regressions: the three tests were red against submitted head 36e7a6308 and pass at this head on Linux and macOS. They cover relay datagram sizing, refreshing an unchanged peer route after a peer update, and capping endpoint-route MTU by egress-link MTU. The relay sizing test accepts a 1204-byte frame with max_datagram_size=1214 (inner MTU 1168), and a 1428-byte frame with max_datagram_size=1434 (inner MTU 1392). Exact-head Mac mesh tests: 130 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored; narrow_path_mesh_budget_fits_relay_datagram passed. Logs: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-head-35e3f08-build-test.log, /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-j350-featured-35e3f08.log. Linux focused receipts are in the earlier J350 progress comments.

Direct live Mac ↔ compute01 matrix: the full three-repetition table is in my preceding comment. On Linux → Mac, the 1-flow mesh median improved from 0.4 Mbit/s on shipped dev to 129.4 Mbit/s at this head (plain: 136.4 to 141.7). At 8 flows, shipped-dev mesh had two iperf errors and one 50.4 sample; this head completed all three at a 408.6 median (plain: 441.4 to 504.2). The 1200-byte DF probe passed; 1201 bytes was rejected locally. The live mesh claim and Mac lock were released, and cleanup found no mesh interface, utun, or iperf listener left.

Forced-relay comparison: this is the isolated Linux NAT namespace fixture with default 1500-byte links, not a relayed Mac ↔ compute01 sample and not D348 performance evidence. Each row is one 32 MiB relayed transfer; sender/receiver SHA-256 matched and both relay endpoints reported too_large=0.

Build Source Relayed transfer Throughput too_large A/B
Shipped dev 9b0c731e8 32 MiB, hash matched 17.0 Mbit/s 0 / 0

J375 evidence correction / baseline controls (no mesh defect inferred): the final comment's classification of verify-fast-35e3f08-compute01.log as a rustc-path failure is inaccurate. The log at lines 14668–14681 shows apps/tracer/docs-build.test.ts:185, doc.js stays small, expected <12000, received 13408. The test's name mentions D317, but this is not scripts/test-rustc-paths.py or #421. All Rust rows in that author log pass.

I reproduced the docs failure on clean current origin/dev 4e6fc472e4b4f06a08c5f55540fb872a87018ee9: 16 pass, 1 fail, same 13,408-byte result. Artifact on compute01: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/origin-dev-docs-control.log.

I independently recomputed the Linux→Mac medians from the raw Mac iperf JSON: 0.438→129.364 Mbit/s at one flow, and two baseline errors plus 50.393 versus a fixed-head median of 408.627 at eight flows. The relay logs support 17.0→23.7 and zero TooLarge drops, scoped to the single-transfer Linux NAT-namespace fixture, not Mac relay or D348 proof.

Focused review reproductions are queued through dev-02's build-slot (recorded wrapper PID 7549).

J375 re-review finding P2: access-only snapshots still leave stale route MTUs.

Location: crates/plugins/mesh/src/node.rs:2280–2310, the changed.is_empty() access-only fast path. This returns after the firewall/persistence update without refreshing peer route MTUs. The new full-update refresh at line 2385 does not cover it.

Concrete scenario: install an unchanged direct peer over a 1500-byte underlay (route MTU 1420), reduce the underlay to 1280, then accept a snapshot changing only inbound access from All to None while outbound remains All. The update succeeds but the outbound peer route remains 1420 instead of 1200. Large outbound packets retain the unsafe ceiling until another kind of update arrives.

J375 re-review finding **P2: access-only snapshots still leave stale route MTUs**. Location: `crates/plugins/mesh/src/node.rs:2280–2310`, the `changed.is_empty()` access-only fast path. This returns after the firewall/persistence update without refreshing peer route MTUs. The new full-update refresh at line 2385 does not cover it. Concrete scenario: install an unchanged direct peer over a 1500-byte underlay (route MTU 1420), reduce the underlay to 1280, then accept a snapshot changing only inbound access from All to None while outbound remains All. The update succeeds but the outbound peer route remains 1420 instead of 1200. Large outbound packets retain the unsafe ceiling until another kind of update arrives.

J375 re-review finding P2: an obsolete relay refresh can overwrite the direct-path budget.

Locations: crates/plugins/mesh/src/relay_path.rs:768–807 and node.rs:923–945. The watcher checks which relay is active while selecting peers, then dispatches an asynchronous blocking MTU callback. That callback carries only an MTU and a captured peer; its route-state write does not validate the active path or a generation. The TooLarge refresh at relay_path.rs:562–576 has the same stale-write opportunity.

Concrete scenario: a 1500-byte relay has derived inner budget 1392, while the direct underlay is 1280 (safe inner budget 1200). A relay watcher selects the peer, but its worker is delayed before taking the route-state mutex. The relay is lost; settle clears peer.active and restores the direct route to 1200. The delayed watcher then writes its obsolete override 1392. Direct traffic is now allowed above its underlay budget. An unchanged QUIC maximum causes the tracker to skip subsequent updates, so this is not necessarily repaired by the next polling tick.

Evidence: deterministic test relay_path::review_j375_tests::stale_relay_watcher_must_not_overwrite_direct_path_budget, using a real loopback QUIC relay, the actual watcher and actual settle, with a channel-controlled route callback to reproduce worker descheduling. Final budget is 1392 after the direct restore to 1200. Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/focused-unit-rerun.log on dev-02. The callback models the route-state write; this is not a claim of a live transition benchmark.

Please serialize path publication and route application, or reject obsolete work using path identity/generation at the write boundary. Retrying a stale callback does not resolve the ordering problem. Review reproducer patch and logs follow with the final review.

J375 re-review finding P2: direct IPv6 sizing omits padding when another peer raises the shared MTU.

Location: crates/plugins/mesh/src/mesh_mtu.rs:89–90 (mtu_for_route) together with the shared-interface maximum. Direct budgets subtract 80 bytes but do not account for the pinned engine's 16-byte plaintext padding. Its padding ceiling is the shared TUN MTU, not this peer's route MTU. Relay budgets correctly round down; direct budgets do not.

Concrete scenario: peer A uses an IPv6 outer path with MTU 1450, so this code installs route MTU 1370. Peer B's 1500-byte path raises the shared MTU to 1420. For A, GotaTun pads a legal 1370-byte inner packet to 1376, adds 32 encrypted-frame bytes, then IPv6+UDP adds 48: the outer packet is 1456 > 1450. The route therefore does not prevent fragmentation or loss. The tested 1280→1200 path is 16-byte aligned and does not expose this case.

Evidence: mesh_mtu::review_j375_padding_tests::mixed_path_direct_ipv6_budget_accounts_for_wireguard_padding uses the actual pinned GotaTun handshake/encryption path with watcher MTU 1420. Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/focused-unit-rerun.log on dev-02. This is actual encrypted-size proof, not a throughput claim.

Please make the direct budget safe after the engine's padding rule for every peer, including mixed path sizes. Review reproducer patch and logs follow with the final review.

J375 final re-review: REQUEST CHANGES at 35e3f08bac0813807741ada4d46789415c1b9a2c.

Three P2 findings, each with a concrete failure scenario and reproducer:

  1. Access-only accepted snapshots skip MTU refresh. After underlay 1500→1280, an inbound-access-only update leaves the existing outbound peer route at 1420 instead of 1200. Earlier J350 route-refresh finding is only partially fixed.
  2. A delayed relay watcher/TooLarge callback can overwrite a restored direct budget with an obsolete relay override. The deterministic watcher + actual settle test observes 1200 restored, then stale 1392 written. Route application needs active-path identity/generation validation at the write boundary.
  3. Direct IPv6 budgets omit padding for mixed-MTU peers. Underlay 1450→route 1370, with another peer raising the shared watcher to 1420, produces an actual encrypted IPv6 outer packet of 1456 bytes. Direct budgets need to remain safe after padding, as relay budgets already do.

The previous relay-size and egress-link-bound regressions pass. The full-peer-update regression also passes; access-only refresh remains broken. No arithmetic wrap was found in the saturating/checked conversions. The macOS utun uses the shared MTU watcher and refreshed per-route metrics; the mixed-peer padding issue also matters to that engine. I inspected the author's exact-head Mac build/test receipts (130 pass, 4 ignored, relay boundary 1 pass) and live utun cleanup; I did not repeat Mac builds or claim a new Mac runtime proof.

Performance evidence was independently spot-checked against the raw samples: Linux→Mac one-flow median 0.438→129.364 Mbit/s; eight-flow baseline has two errors and one 50.393 sample, while the fixed-head median is 408.627. The recorded relay transfer is 17.0→23.7 Mbit/s with zero TooLarge drops at both ends. That relay evidence is one 32 MiB Linux NAT-namespace transfer per build at default MTU 1500, not relayed Linux↔Mac or D348 performance proof. The Linux 1200-byte DF probe succeeds and 1201 is rejected locally; the Mac 1201-byte probe also succeeds, so this is not proof of a strict Mac DF boundary. Raw artifact locations are in the earlier progress comment and the attached audit.

Fetched dev 4e6fc472e4b4f06a08c5f55540fb872a87018ee9. It merges cleanly in scratch commit 11d5777023ced633bf26353bd891d735cfbb4278 on review-j375-381. Mesh production code in that merge is byte-identical to the submitted head. Requested merged-tree scripts/verify quick passed before adding the review-only tests. Verbatim summary:

QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

Quick is a pre-check, not a full fast gate. Per the common review brief, I read the author's fast log rather than rerunning a full gate. Its Rust rows pass; the actual remaining failure is docs-build.test.ts:185, doc.js stays small, 13408 bytes against <12000. I reproduced that exact failure on clean dev. Separately, #421's rustc-path helper fails with a symlink target and passes with the physical target on the same clean dev; relevant helper/wrapper/toolchain files are unchanged by this branch. Both baseline issues are unrelated, and neither was fixed here. Author fast footer, verbatim:

1 tests failed:
(fail) the real tree builds from the real folder, in the sections of D317 [66.16ms]

 654 pass
 1 fail
 24805 expect() calls
Ran 655 tests across 102 files. [33.02s]

Before a third review, follow the common brief's redesign rule: propose a single owner of per-peer path identity and MTU state, with route writes ordered against path transitions and padding-safe derivation shared by every update path. Another independent callback patch would leave the stale-write class in place.

No production changes, push, dev merge or deployment. No live mesh claim was taken. Review-only test patch and evidence are attached; logs remain under /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/ on the named VM and /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/ on the control host. Both Linux review targets and their symlinks are removed, and no J375 build or test remains queued/running. Focused unit reproductions: 0 passed, 2 failed as expected; access-only integration reproduction: 0 passed, 1 failed as expected. The three prior regression cases pass. The first unit compile attempt had a reproducer API mistake; focused-unit-rerun.log is the corrected, successfully compiled run.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES. Reviewed SHA: 35e3f08bac0813807741ada4d46789415c1b9a2c. Merged-tree gate result: scripts/verify quick PASS; author verify fast FAIL on unrelated baseline documentation-size check.

J288 follow-up start. Branch mesh-mtu-381 is at submitted head 35e3f08bac0813807741ada4d46789415c1b9a2c; fetched current origin/dev is 098f2c445210883055e85c73699694de981e94a0.

Plan (estimate: about 3 hours plus build-slot waits): merge current dev; apply J375's three attached reproducers as red tests and record each expected failure; fix access-only route refresh, stale relay callback publication, and padding-safe per-peer MTU derivation; run the focused green tests, verify quick, and verify fast; run a small live 1/8-flow check if the final changes alter the data path. I will post a finding and evidence for each reproducer, then the final head and gate outputs. No merge or deployment.

Finding 2 fixed in de3e1da89. A per-peer route-MTU generation advances on relay path changes and QUIC MTU refreshes. The blocking worker checks that generation while holding the same lock through route installation, so an old callback cannot write after direct fallback.

Resuming J288 follow-up on mesh-mtu-381. Starting head: c54b0c03a7f459a8ef7561dce1ea2fdd77e71a5b; current origin/dev base to merge: 8e664e6b7ada1be66b6ea5a6572be088eeac2a62 (includes required 098f2c445). Plan: merge current dev; retain and verify the three red-first J375 reproducers and their fixes; run verify quick, then final verify fast; only run the requested 1-flow and 8-flow checks if code changes affect the data path. The pre-fix controls and three green results are already recorded in comments 86868–86919 with compute01/dev-02 artifact paths.

Finding update: the old verify fast reached the privileged mesh tests and both access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu and full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu failed at their pre-update assertion, which still expected the old 1420-byte initial budget. The recorded actual route is now 1408 on the 1500-byte path; the same run printed 1200 after the 1280-byte update. This is a stale test expectation after the padding-safe sizing fix, not a production failure. I changed both initial assertions to 1408 in the local worktree; I will rerun the tests and fresh gates after the active old gate completes. Old log: compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/j375-followup/verify-fast-c54b0c03a.log (lines 12816–12870).

J288 continuing the J375 review round on mesh-mtu-381, head de84e84112; merged current origin/dev 8e664e6b7a. I will read comment 86806 and its reproducers, verify the three regressions and red controls on this merged head, fix them one at a time, then run verify quick and verify fast. The MTU data path changes, so I will rerun the Linux↔Mac matrix if those fixes alter data path behavior. Estimate: 3–5 hours excluding VM queue/build time. Existing verify fast from the prior head is still being collected; I will not queue another compute01 job while it is active.

Progress: corrected the 1500-byte retained-route expectation from 1420 to 1408 (padding-safe budget) in commit 187626754c, pushed to mesh-mtu-381. The existing J375 red controls and per-finding green receipts remain in comments 86868–86919. Mac test run at de84e passed 131 tests (4 ignored), including mixed IPv6 padding and the route-refresh helper; the narrow relay datagram case passed. Its first binary command targeted the library package, so I corrected it to build the infraternal executable. That binary build passed at de84e; the target was deleted. I will sync and rerun Mac tests/build at 187626754, then resume the queued verify quick and run fast on the final head.

Measurement preparation update: the final Linux + relay-fixture build is queued on compute01 as PID 3104154, with log compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-1876267/build-final.log. I caught an empty-worktree argument in the first queued wrapper before it acquired a slot, stopped only that run’s exact PIDs, and replaced it with the checked script build-final.sh; no build started from the bad wrapper. The corrected job uses the canonical compute worktree at 187626754.

J288 continuing the #381 review on mesh-mtu-381, current head 187626754c77946b8cabef081ac9cfbe0e78e04c. I fetched current origin/dev at 0a5432d2c1347c57bf1a6c57e368877599d57587; the branch does not yet contain it.

Plan (estimate: about 3 hours of active work; VM queue time may extend this):

  1. Merge current origin/dev into the branch.
  2. Turn J375's access-only, stale relay callback, and mixed-MTU IPv6 reproducers (comments 86781, 86802, 86803) into tests and record each expected red result.
  3. Consolidate route-budget refresh and path-generation validation so every peer update derives a padding-safe budget from its current underlay and stale callbacks cannot write; prove each change with its red test on Linux and macOS.
  4. Since these route-budget changes alter the effective packet size, repeat the requested Linux↔Mac matrix and forced-relay check, then run verify quick and verify fast under the VM rules. Post logs and tables here; no merge.

Current origin/dev is 44e80ccc5e1462bc19ae34979c2edf23c525a967 and is not yet an ancestor of this head; I will merge it before any new tests or code changes. J375’s three reproducer reds and per-finding green receipts are recorded in comments 86867–86919. After the merge I will confirm those controls, then run the focused platform checks, required gates, and the small live 1/8-flow check because MTU packet sizing changes the data path. No dev merge or deployment.

Medians, Mbit/s (up = Mac→Linux, down = Linux→Mac):\n\n| Path | 1 flow up | 1 flow down | 8 flows up | 8 flows down |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| Shipped dev, plain | 104.7 | 139.4 | 203.6 | 429.8 |\n| Shipped dev, mesh | 85.6 | 0.5 | 84.1 | 2 valid samples: 48.1, 68.7 |\n| Fixed head, plain | 99.0 | 137.1 | 240.8 | 535.7 |\n| Fixed head, mesh | 164.2 | 117.8 | 164.3 | 258.0 |\n\nAll three fixed-head mesh repetitions completed. One shipped-dev mesh 8-flow Linux→Mac repetition failed before a throughput sample (`iperf3` could not receive the control message); the other two were 48.1 and 68.7. I will rerun that missing cell before treating the before matrix as complete. Boundary probes on the fixed mesh: Linux DF inner packet 1200 passes and 1201 is rejected locally; Mac 1200 and 1201 probes both pass with no loss. The live route metric is 1200 on both ends. Artifact/report and raw summaries: `compute01:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-d978fa6/evidence/results-d978fa6/mesh-mtu-live-matrix-report.json` and `.../run-live-matrix.log`. The report says PASS and confirmed no mesh interface, listener, or new utun remained. Its wrapper logged `CLAIM_RELEASE_SKIPPED=ownership-changed`; a follow-up check found the claim file absent, with `infraternal0` and port 45269 absent.

J288 resuming #381 on mesh-mtu-381 at 99d7d2669098b8a3cc4c0f18a9a2f7463bfdc7cf, based on merged origin/dev 44e80ccc5e1462bc19ae34979c2edf23c525a967. I read J375's final review in comment 86806 and the three concrete reproductions. I am checking its attached test patch and the existing red/green receipts first, then I will run the focused tests and required gates. Plan: confirm each reproducer fails before its fix and passes at head, run verify quick and verify fast, then record the evidence and final SHA here. Estimate: about 2 hours, depending on build-slot waits; current Linux queues are occupied, so I will recheck admission before each run.

J288 progress (2026-11-09): branch mesh-mtu-381 remains at 99d7d2669098b8a3cc4c0f18a9a2f7463bfdc7cf. verify quick passed at this head. The foreground verify fast run on compute01 is still active; log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/review381/verify-fast-99d7.log. It has completed all 103 privileged integration checks, including access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu (route MTU 1408→1200); later gate rows are still running. The workspace test row reported two failures so far: daemon::readiness_exit_tests::ownership_eof_does_not_discard_private_terminal_output and daemon::liveness_tests::input_state_probe_preserves_written_ack_after_input (290 passed, 2 failed, 23 ignored). I will wait for the full gate output, investigate those failures, and only then decide whether another full fast run is needed. Mesh production source is unchanged from the measured 187626754 head, so the already-posted Linux↔Mac matrix remains applicable.

J288 gate update (2026-11-09): the first verify fast at 99d7d2669098b8a3cc4c0f18a9a2f7463bfdc7cf exited 1 only in the workspace test row; all other rows passed, including privileged integration and static builds. Its workspace run reported 290 passed, 2 failed, 23 ignored: ownership_eof_does_not_discard_private_terminal_output and input_state_probe_preserves_written_ack_after_input. The agent source/tests are unchanged from origin/dev. A focused full infraternal-agent --lib run on dev-02 passed (199 passed, 10 ignored); that is not the same x86 workspace configuration. I submitted one verify fast rerun on compute01 through build-slot, currently queue position 5 (PID 2310403). Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/review381/verify-fast-99d7-rerun.log. I will wait for its full output before deciding whether the baseline needs separate proof.

Finding during gate rerun: the build-slot command invoked the worktree's scripts/verify fast by absolute path while its working directory remained /home/claude. scripts/verify uses absolute paths for its first checks, then verify.d/rust.sh invokes most rows by relative paths. The captured output confirms the mismatch: /home/claude/worktrees/j288/scripts/verify.d/rust.sh is sourced, while Cargo reports it cannot find Cargo.toml in /home/claude and Python reports missing /home/claude/scripts/.... This run is an invalid-workdir invocation, not evidence of a code failure or a permitted clean-dev exception. I’m rerunning from cd ~/worktrees/j288 with the existing target directory.

J288c (Claude Opus 5.5) continuing #381 on mesh-mtu-381 after J288 hit its usage limit. Base: 99d7d2669; I merged current origin/dev 966c52e07 and pushed it as 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7. The merge touches no files under crates/plugins/mesh or crates/plugins/relay.

I re-read J375's three P2s against the branch code:

  1. Access-only: all three Linux update paths now re-derive each peer route from the current endpoint underlay (endpoints-only, refresh_peer_routes_from; access-only, install_peer_routes, 35a735db3; full update, refresh_peer_routes). On macOS, apply always recomputes route_mtus(&config) and refreshes retained routes whose metric changed.
  2. Stale relay callback: every relay route write (settle, TooLarge, watch_relay_mtu) goes through update_peer_route_mtu. That function holds the per-peer generation lock through the install and drops any write whose generation is stale (de3e1da89). The overrides map, under one mutex, is the only state those writes and config updates share.
  3. Mixed-MTU IPv6: route MTUs reserve 80 bytes and round down to the 16-byte padding boundary (a5dbbefb0). A packet at or under the route MTU therefore pads to no more than the route MTU, whatever the shared watcher MTU is.

Red controls and green results are in comments 86867–86919. J288's last verify fast rerun was invalid (wrong cwd, comment 88283). Its replacement was queued as PID 2638633, writing to a dead netbird-ssh pipe, so I stopped that exact PID. Plan: verify quick, then verify fast on compute01 at 526085642, both logged under compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288c/. No mesh source changed since the measured 187626754, so I won't repeat the Linux↔Mac run.

J288c finish. Head 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7 on mesh-mtu-381, confirmed with git ls-remote origin mesh-mtu-381. That commit merges current origin/dev 966c52e07 into J288's 99d7d2669. The merge touches neither the mesh crate nor the relay crate. Nothing was merged to dev, and nothing was deployed.

Per-P2 status (J375, comment 86806)

  1. Access-only route refresh: fixed in 35a735db3, with the pre-update expectation corrected to 1408 in 187626754. The red control is in comment 86867. Green at this head comes from the privileged row of verify fast: [76/103] access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu logged before … mtu 1408 and after_access_only_update … mtu 1200, then PASS. full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu [78/103] also passed. On Linux, every update path re-derives routes from the current underlay (endpoints-only, access-only, full). On macOS, apply always recomputes route_mtus(&config).
  2. Stale relay callback: fixed in de3e1da89. A per-peer generation is held under its lock through the route install. settle advances it on every path change, and stale results are dropped. The red control is in comment 86868. Green at this head on dev-02: direct MTU=1200, stale relay MTU=1392, final route MTU=1200 … ok.
  3. Mixed-MTU IPv6 padding: fixed in a5dbbefb0. Each peer budget reserves 80 bytes of IPv6 overhead and rounds down to the 16-byte boundary. The red control is in comment 86869. Green at this head on dev-02: underlay=1450 route_mtu=1360 shared_mtu=1408 actual_encrypted_bytes=1392 ipv6_outer=1440 … ok.

Reproducer log: dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288c/j375-repros-5260856.log (2 passed, 0 failed).

Live check. I did not re-run it. Mesh and relay source are byte-identical to 187626754, which J288 measured live in comment 88020 (fixed-head mesh Linux→Mac: 117.8 Mbit/s with 1 flow, 258.0 with 8). This continuation changed no data path.

J411 (Claude Opus 5.5) start: independent correctness re-review of mesh-mtu-381 at 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7, against J375's three P2s (comment 86806) and J288c's finish (88421).

Scratch merge of current origin/dev 0414b7b2f → 21e3af6e2 on local branch review-j411-381 (clean; dev added only DECISIONS.md). Plan (~2 h plus slot waits): read the full mesh diff; check each P2 fix and its test; hunt overflow, IPv4/IPv6 overhead, relay↔direct switching, refresh-path races and the macOS utun path; run the reproducers; verify quick and verify fast on compute01 as the task asks; a 1/8-flow Linux↔Mac check only if the data path changed since J288's matrix. No merge, no deploy.

Plan (~2 h plus slot waits): read the full mesh diff; check each P2 fix and its test; hunt overflow, IPv4/IPv6 overhead, relay↔direct switching, refresh-path races and the macOS utun path; run the reproducers; `verify quick` and `verify fast` on compute01 as the task asks; a 1/8-flow Linux↔Mac check only if the data path changed since J288's matrix. No merge, no deploy.

J411 progress (code read finished; gates queued).

  • Scratch merge on compute01: ~/worktrees/j411 = 52608564 + origin/dev 4754b14a7 → fafdce5a6 (no mesh, relay or Cargo.lock changes from dev). Mesh, relay and Cargo.lock are byte-identical to J288's measured 187626754, so J288's live matrix (comment 88020) still applies. I will not repeat the 1/8-flow run.
  • Run 1 (verify quick on the clean tree, then the J375 lib reproducers and a build of two new J411 reproducers) is queued through build-slot as PID 1517639 at position 13. Log: compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j411/evidence/run1.log. verify fast follows in a separate slot run.
  • Things I checked and ruled out: the gotatun fork's buffered TUN layer drops InvalidData frames, so a frame above the live MTU on the Mac utun does not stop a packet direction (gotatun/src/tun/buffer.rs is_fatal_tun_error). Linux accepts an IPv6 host route with mtu 1200 (compute01: netns check, receipt in my evidence dir).

Findings will be posted with evidence once the reproducers have run.

J411 findings on mesh-mtu-381 at 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7 (merged with origin/dev 4754b14a7 → scratch fafdce5a6 on compute01).

J375's three P2s are fixed, and each has a test.

  1. Access-only refresh: access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu is green, run as root in a netns on compute01 against my merged build: before … mtu 1408 → after_access_only_update … mtu 1200. The red control is J288's mtu 1420 (comment 86867). full_peer_update_… and endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtu also pass.
  2. Stale relay callback: stale_relay_callback_must_not_overwrite_direct_path_budget is green: direct MTU=1200, stale relay MTU=1392, final route MTU=1200. The red control showed final 1392.
  3. Mixed-MTU IPv6 padding: mixed_path_direct_ipv6_budget_accounts_for_wireguard_padding is green: underlay=1450 route_mtu=1360 shared_mtu=1408 actual_encrypted_bytes=1392 ipv6_outer=1440. The red control was 1456. The arithmetic holds in general. A route MTU is a multiple of 16 and at most underlay−80, so padding to the shared MTU can never take a packet past its own route MTU.

New P2-A: a relay fallback after an endpoint change writes the old endpoint's budget. Node::relay_route_mtu_updater (node.rs ~920) clones the dataplane::Peer when the relay shim is created. updater(None) re-derives the route from that copy's endpoint, not from the accepted config. Scenario: the peer is relayed while its endpoint is on a 1500 path. The coordinator then moves its endpoint to a 1280 path; the full update correctly writes 1200 and clears the override. The relay link then drops, and settle → update_peer_route_mtu(None) rewrites 1408 onto the 1280 path. That is the same oversize and fragmentation class #381 fixes. The generation check doesn't help, because this write is current, not stale.
Reproducer relay_fallback_after_endpoint_change_uses_current_endpoint_budget (root, netns): relayed … mtu 1392 / after_endpoint_move … mtu 1200 / after_direct_fallback … mtu 1408 → FAILED.

New P2-B: a late relay callback reinstalls a removed peer's host route. The same captured copy lets an MTU poll, TooLarge refresh or settle that fires after the coordinator removed the peer re-add 10.254.0.2/32 via RTM_NEWROUTE with NLM_F_CREATE. That route is then not in Node.routes, so nothing retires it until restart cleanup.
Reproducer relay_callback_after_peer_removal_does_not_reinstall_route: after_removal=[], late_callback=Ok(()), after_late_callback=[… mtu 1392] → FAILED.

Severity: both are latent today. The shipped infraternal binary does not enable infraternal-plugin-mesh/relay; only the relay fixture and the privileged gate compile it. The shipped direct path is correct. Both bugs are in code this branch adds, and they are the "single owner of per-peer path state" class J375 flagged. Suggested fix, small rather than a redesign: have the updater capture only the peer key, and resolve the current Peer from a key-indexed map that Node keeps in step with the accepted config. Do the lookup under the same relay_route_mtu_overrides lock, and make it a no-op (dropping any override) when the key is gone. That fixes both. It also keeps the wireguard::Client (relay()) impl from writing routes for peers it doesn't own.

P3-C (performance, macOS): every Mac apply now runs route_mtus(&config) → /sbin/route -n get + /sbin/ifconfig per installed peer. It runs synchronously on the worker's current-thread runtime, the same runtime that runs GotaTun's packet tasks. Measured on the Mac VM under the lock: 6.36–6.57 ms median per endpoint, max 9.4 ms. With 50 peers, each snapshot stalls Mac packet processing for about 320 ms. Suggest caching per endpoint IP, or doing the lookups before block_on / on a blocking thread. This is not a blocker; the CLAUDE.md latency priority makes it worth a follow-up.

Ruled out: arithmetic overflow (every conversion is saturating or checked, and the >65535 clamp is unreachable because link MTUs are ≤65535); IPv4 vs IPv6 (80 bytes reserved for both, so IPv4 is 20 bytes conservative); an oversize utun frame killing the Mac direction (the fork's is_fatal_tun_error treats InvalidData as a per-frame drop); Linux refusing IPv6 host routes with mtu 1200 (it accepts them); the switching order in settle (min-of-both during relay→relay, and active=None before the direct write).

Evidence (control host ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j411/evidence/): root-repros.log, run1.log, mac-route-cost.log, review_j411_mtu.rs (attached). verify fast is queued on compute01 (PID 3095588).

J411 re-review finish: REQUEST CHANGES. Reviewed SHA 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7. Scratch merge with origin/dev 4754b14a7 is fafdce5a6 on compute01 (removed afterwards).

J375's P2s: all three are fixed, and each reproducer is now a test (details in comment 88534):

  1. Access-only refresh: access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu gives 1408 → 1200 and passes, both in my root netns run and in the privileged row of my verify fast ([76/103] PASS). The red control is 1420 (86867).
  2. Stale relay callback: stale_relay_callback_must_not_overwrite_direct_path_budget reports final route MTU 1200 and passes. The red control was 1392 (86868).
  3. Mixed-MTU IPv6 padding: mixed_path_direct_ipv6_budget_accounts_for_wireguard_padding gives an IPv6 outer packet of 1440 on a 1450 path and passes. The red control was 1456 (86869).

Findings

  • P2-A: a relay→direct fallback after an endpoint change rewrites the old endpoint's budget. The relay_route_mtu_updater closure captures the Peer it was created with. Reproducer: 1392 relayed → 1200 after the move to a 1280 path → 1408 after fallback. Red.
  • P2-B: a relay callback that fires after the peer was removed reinstalls its host route (mtu 1392), outside Node.routes. Red.
  • Both are latent: the shipped infraternal binary does not enable infraternal-plugin-mesh/relay. The shipped direct path is correct. The fix is small: capture only the key, resolve the current peer under the overrides lock, and no-op when it is gone. The reproducer is attached to 88534 (review_j411_mtu.rs); please land it as the red test.
  • P3-C: each Mac apply runs route get + ifconfig per peer on the packet runtime, measured at 6.4–6.6 ms per peer. This is a follow-up, not a blocker.

Data path / live check: the mesh, relay and Cargo.lock sources are byte-identical to J288's measured 187626754, so J288's matrix (88020) stands: fixed-head Linux→Mac mesh at 117.8 Mbit/s with 1 flow and 258.0 with 8 (shipped dev: 0.5 and about 48–69). I did not re-run it. No mesh claim was taken.

VERIFY_EXIT=1

Neither failure comes from this branch; both reproduce or explain on dev (baseline.log):

  • cargo-deny: RUSTSEC-2026-0459 (libsqlite3-sys, C SQLite CVE-2026-119375), a new advisory. cargo deny check advisories on clean origin/dev 4754b14a7 fails the same way (DENY_DEV_EXIT=1). Cargo.lock is identical to dev.
  • test: infraternal-shim login_lifecycle::unauthorized_controller_is_refused_before_terminal_acceptance failed with "worker retained a released terminal lease" (156 passed, 1 failed) under full-gate load. The same binary run alone passed 5/5 (about 3.0 s each). crates/infraternal-shim is byte-identical to dev, so this is a load-sensitive flake outside this branch, and dev needs an owner for it.
    All 103 privileged checks passed, including the three review_j350_mtu cases.

Evidence on the control host: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j411/evidence/ holds run1.log, verify-fast.log, baseline.log, root-repros.log and mac-route-cost.log. Cleanup: the compute01 target and worktrees are deleted, along with /root scratch and the netns; the Mac script is removed; no processes are left. No merge, push or deploy.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES (P2-A, P2-B). Reviewed SHA: 52608564257450cd02ccc842ab67d015ef5e3ff7. Gates: verify quick PASS; verify fast exit 1 on cargo-deny (fails identically on clean dev) and test (a shim flake in code identical to dev); every other row PASS.

J288c round 2 on J411's review (comments 88534, 88795). Branch mesh-mtu-381. I merged origin/dev as 8006a0531; the merge touches no mesh/relay files.

  • 1af129040: J411's review_j411_mtu.rs, landed unchanged as the red test. Red on dev-02 (root inside unshare -rn), dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288c/j411-red.log:
    • fallback: relayed … mtu 1392 → after_endpoint_move … mtu 1200 → after_direct_fallback … mtu 1408, FAILED
    • removal: after_removal=[] late_callback=Ok(()) after_late_callback=[10.254.0.2 … mtu 1392], FAILED

J288c P3-C: Mac stall before and after, measured on infraternal-macos-01-std under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock (13:48–13:54Z, one lock hold for build and measurement).

Harness (measurement only, not committed; attached as mac_stall_probe.rs): a real Mac Node (utun + GotaTun, agent,mesh-dns release build) with 50 peers:

  • one loopback echo peer, a userspace GotaTun device that answers ICMP echo;
  • 49 peers with distinct TEST-NET endpoints routed via en0.

ping -i 0.01 runs through the utun to the echo peer. After a 5 s control window, the harness applies 10 endpoint-change snapshots, one per second. The stall metric is the max RTT reported by ping for replies during each update; a packet delayed by a blocked worker shows up as RTT. Builds alternated twice: before = 1d3b4fedd (P2 fix only), after = 8c3b99eed.

control max RTT max RTT per update, median (range), n=20 caller apply median lost
before 1d3b4fedd 0.6–1.0 ms ≈580 ms (509–765) ≈610 ms 0
after 8c3b99eed 0.5–0.6 ms 0.5 ms (0.4–23.7) ≈120 ms 0
  • Before, packets wait about as long as the whole apply, because the probing ran on the packet runtime.
  • After, the probing (about 120 ms for 49 distinct endpoints) runs on the caller's thread. The worker only installs routes, so occasional spikes stay at or under 24 ms (a route change and ifconfig for the changed peer).
  • Initial 50-peer apply: 606/720 ms → 342/338 ms.
  • The reply-gap column in the raw log is not a reliable measure: ping output to a pipe is block-buffered, so even the control window shows about 85 ms gaps. Use the RTT column.

Mac correctness at a523607f6 (same Mac code as 8c3b99eed minus two lint rewrites): cargo test -p infraternal-plugin-mesh --lib --features relay,test-support,mesh-dns → 131 passed; 0 failed; 4 ignored. Mac clippy (-D warnings) flagged two lints in the new probe code, fixed in 8c3b99eed. The crate's other Mac clippy errors (28 lib, 37 lib test) are on lines this branch doesn't change; macOS clippy is not a gate row.

Evidence: control host ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j288c/evidence/ (mac-stall2.log, mac-build2.log, mac-build-tests.log, mac_stall_probe.rs). The Mac target, binaries, state directories and scripts are removed, and no 10.254 addresses remain.

J381r (independent review of J288c round 2) start. Reviewing mesh-mtu-381 at head 859c96154: J288c's 381b4ae22 (removes the legacy relay() and the wireguard::Client EndpointUpdater impl) plus a merge of origin/dev 547a48885. It also covers 1af129040, 1d3b4fedd, a523607f6 and 8c3b99eed.

Plan, about 2 h:

  1. Run the red/green pair for review_j411_mtu (revert 1d3b4fedd on a scratch copy) in unshare -Urn on compute01. Add a scratch stress test (not committed): concurrent relay Some/None callbacks from threads while the main thread moves the endpoint, removes the peer and re-adds it, with invariants checked after each step. Read the code for lock order.
  2. Re-measure the Mac stall at 50 peers under ping, under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, and delete the target before releasing the lock.
  3. Re-check the #381 contract (IPv4/IPv6 route MTU, padding budget). Re-run the live matrix only if it's cheap.
  4. Run verify quick and verify fast at the final head on compute01 (dev-02 is below its 40G disk floor).

J381r progress: Mac re-measure (P3-C) confirms the fix. Ran on infraternal-macos-01-std under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock from 18:51 to 18:58Z, one hold for build and measurement. The target, worktrees and binaries are deleted, 10.254 addresses: 0, lock released.

My one addition prints route -n get for one en0 peer in both families. I ran 3 alternating rounds per build: before = 1d3b4fedd (P2 fix, probing on the worker), after = the final head 859c96154.

J288c follow-up on the relay() answer: done and pushed. Head 859c9615470c1aa8eb332ab9cbc765a1cfb0dd8b, confirmed with git ls-remote.

  • 381b4ae22 removes RelayPaths::relay() and the EndpointUpdater for wireguard::Client impl, including its peer-copy route updater. Nothing depended on either: no caller, test or plugin API surface.

J381r re-review finish: APPROVE. Reviewed SHA 859c9615470c1aa8eb332ab9cbc765a1cfb0dd8b, the final head per git ls-remote origin mesh-mtu-381 just now. It covers J288c's 1af129040, 1d3b4fedd, a523607f6, 8c3b99eed and 381b4ae22 (legacy relay() removed), plus the merge of origin/dev 547a48885. No merge, push or deploy.

1. The fix (P2-A, P2-B): red/green confirmed, no new race found

review_j411_mtu ran in unshare -Urn on compute01, one namespace per test.

  • Green at 859c96154: P2-A gives relayed … mtu 1392 → after_endpoint_move … mtu 1200 → after_direct_fallback … mtu 1200, ok. P2-B gives after_removal=[] late_callback=Ok(()) after_late_callback=[], ok.
  • Red (1d3b4fedd reverted on a scratch copy of 859c96154): P2-A gives after_direct_fallback … mtu 1408, FAILED. P2-B gives after_late_callback=[… mtu 1392], FAILED. Both match J411.
  • A gotcha for future red runs: my first red build came out byte-identical to green. The repo's --remap-path-prefix makes a second worktree's build reuse the first one's units. The real red was built by applying the revert inside the same worktree (build-red2.err, sha256 differs from green).

Lock order: no cycle. The relay side takes Peer.route_mtu_generation, then PeerRouteState (in update_peer_route_mtu's spawn_blocking). settle takes Peer.state, then route_mtu_generation, and releases both before any route write. The node side takes only PeerRouteState, and while holding it calls only route netlink (routes_with_mtu_overrides → route_mtu); it never takes a relay lock. The callback runs on a blocking thread, so a node-side hold never parks a tokio worker. The packet path takes neither lock.

Removal ordering: the full snapshot path runs apply_peer_changes → refresh_peer_routes (drops the removed key from peers under the lock) → retain_recorded_routes. A callback that wins the lock before the refresh writes a route that the retain step then deletes. After the refresh, the callback is a no-op.

Stress (scratch test, not committed: review_j381r_stress.rs). Four threads call the updater in a tight loop, alternating Some(1392)/None (65.3 M calls, 0 errors). Meanwhile the coordinator applies 300 snapshots cycling narrow endpoint → wide → remove → re-add. Route MTUs were sampled for v4 and v6 after each snapshot: 3000 samples, 0 oversize, 0 routes for a removed peer, and quiesced final None → v4 1408 / v6 1408. Three v6 samples read mtu 1280 in the narrow step, where my oracle allowed only {1200, 1392}. This is the kernel clamping a concurrently written relay 1392 route down to the device MTU (1408 → 1280) when the interface shrinks. It is safe (smaller, never larger); see P3-1. Under that tight loop, snapshot latency was p50 277 ms and max 13.6 s because std::Mutex is unfair. Real callbacks fire only on a path change or a ≤1 Hz MTU-poll change, so this is a test artifact, not a finding.

Stale underlay on the Mac: the probe now runs on the caller's thread immediately before WorkerCommand::Apply. The caller (node_actions → Node::chunk) already blocked on the reply, so it adds no wait and moves the read point by microseconds. A network change in that window was already a race before (the read was also one point-in-time sample), and nothing on the Mac re-probes on an underlay change either before or after this branch. Not a regression. On Linux the budget is still read at write time, under the lock.

2. The Mac (P3-C): re-measured, fixed

This is in comment 89256: 50 peers, update under ping -i 0.01, lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, 3 alternating rounds per build. Max RTT per update went from 448.2 ms median (321–1525) at 1d3b4fedd to 0.4 ms (0.3–14.6) at 859c96154. Caller apply went from 491 to 84 ms, initial apply from ~540 to ~235 ms, 0 lost. The target and binaries were deleted before the lock was released.
Linux does no probing, and its change is only the extended lock scope. The test and privileged rows pass, and the Linux route budget is still per write.

3. The #381 contract

  • Route MTU follows the underlay in both families. On Linux, the J375/J411 privileged cases pass in verify fast's privileged row (1200 on a 1280 path, 1408 on 1500). On the Mac, en0 1500 gives 10.254.0.3 … mtu 1408 and fd01::3 … mtu 1408.
  • Padding: the mixed_path_direct_ipv6_budget_accounts_for_wireguard_padding case still passes. The invariant (route MTU a multiple of 16 and ≤ underlay−80) is unchanged by these commits.
  • Linux→Mac throughput: not re-run. It needs the mesh claim plus J288's two-host kit, so it is not cheap. These commits leave the data path alone apart from where the Mac computes the utun MTU (interface_mtu over the same probe results as for_config). The Mac utun and route values above match the pre-change arithmetic, so J288's 117.8 / 258 Mbit/s still stands by construction, not by measurement.

Findings

  • P1: none. P2: none.
  • P3-1 (latent, not from this round): the Linux interface MTU (for_config) ignores relay overrides. When a peer is relayed at 1392 and the direct paths are narrower, the device sits at the 1280 floor: the kernel clamps the v6 route to 1280 and caps v4 packets at 1280. It's safe, but relayed peers lose ~100 bytes of payload in that case. Relay isn't shipped yet, so this can be a follow-up.
  • P3-2 (pre-existing since J375): on a failed snapshot, restore_peer_route_state(previous) overwrites the whole state, including any override a relay callback changed during the transaction. If the relay dropped mid-transaction, the rollback reinstalls a stale 1392 override on a direct path. The window is narrow and only on failure.

Every Rust row passes, and cargo-deny now passes too (the #473 ignore came in with the dev merge). The single failure is in the TypeScript tracer suite: apps/tracer/src/canvas/sessions/startup-toast.test.ts hits TypeError: element.getAttribute is not a function at packages/ui/src/input-source.ts:83 (markMotion, from toast.ts:224), because the fake DOM's elements lack getAttribute. It doesn't come from this branch: git diff 547a48885 859c96154 -- apps packages is empty, so the TS tree is byte-identical to dev. It's the #427 input-source change meeting toast-fake-dom.ts, and dev needs an owner for it. The rows after the tracer suite did not run.
