Found by J267 (#375). Severity P2 (performance; CLAUDE.md priority 1). Full data and commands: #375, comment "J267: measurement".
What: the mesh MTU is a constant,
gotatun_tun.rs:30 MESH_MTU = 1380(Linux) andmacos_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):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
eth0is 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 12from 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.
Links: #260, #375, D331, D346, D352.
J288 start. Branch
mesh-mtu-381, based onorigin/dev3dc58dc67b771c7e38a298c3c5ac437055b8ff44.Plan (estimate: 5 hours):
~/mesh-vm.claimand the Mac lock held per measurement step. Measure normal-MTU performance on the D348 perf VM withperf-run, 2 CPUs per test side, and its no-interference check.verify quick, thenverify 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-quickdocs 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 inrestart.rs:271becausesockopt::PeerCredentialsis 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
3dc58dc67with 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 isscripts/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.logon dev-02. The Mac route check also already observed compute01 throughutun100at 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.
The working branch has been rebased from the requested start at
3dc58dc67onto currentorigin/dev2ca748b8c07a5836462b380ef4e340d829731ec5, per the updated process rules. Mac-only work remains paused by the owner’s VM freeze; Linux work will be built and tested on compute01.Perf readiness finding: on
infraternal-perf-01-backup01,perf.slicecurrently reportsAllowedCPUs=1-3andcpuset.cpus.effective=1-3(6 online CPUs; load 0.18). Evidence:/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/perf-d348-readiness.logon 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
bf367b36871246137033c2ce1c83ab1e5d2747a5onmesh-mtu-381(rebased base2ca748b8c07a5836462b380ef4e340d829731ec5). 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(supersedesbf367b3). 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 reusedinfraternal0name 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
43267bd8795d8512292981ad8fcb92c6f9aef81fand 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 diagnostic narrowed the namespace failure:
current_mturead 1200 andupdate_mtu(1200)succeeded;start_device(&config)then returnedEINVAL. So the route lookup and TUN MTU update passed, and the error is in GotaTun peer/device initialization. Trace artifact:claude@compute01:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-namespace-debug-1280.log. I’m tracing that initialization path before changing code.Correction to the diagnostic comment above: the temporary trace printed no
start_device failedline, so GotaTun device startup returned successfully. TheEINVALoccurs later in the outerNode::applytransaction after peer initialization. I’m adding boundary traces around route and firewall installation to identify the exact failing operation; the earlier attribution tostart_devicewas 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::addressesbefore 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.logand the failed 1280/1500 namespace run is/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-namespace-1280-1500-r2.logon 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 quickon compute01, the 1280/1500 namespace proof, thenverify 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.

Mac integration/build/runtime proof and the real Mac ↔ compute01 comparison remain pending the std-VM freeze; the D348 perf measurement remains pending the calibration/window recorded in #260.
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::createcurrently activatesinfraternal0at the 1200-byte fallback (crates/plugins/mesh/src/wireguard.rs), andDevice::addressesleaves 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::createdoes not set the MTU. The first link is lowered to 1200 byDevice::configureafter key setup, before the firstNode::applyinstalls addresses;Device::addressesapplies 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::applywill 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:
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::configurestill callsactivate(ifindex, Some(FALLBACK_MESH_MTU))after setting the key. The new ordering inNode::applymoves its later route-derived update afterDevice::addresses, but that does not restore the MTU whichconfigurealready 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.logconfirms 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-quickdocuments 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.
Compute01 capacity update: all four build slots are busy and four jobs are queued ahead of J288. I have not queued J288. The kernel ordering regression fixture remains unrun so it can produce a clean red result against the current production state before I make the fix. No work has started on either frozen std VM.
J288
scripts/verify quickis now queued through compute01's build-slot at queue position 5 (launcher PID 2215136). It targets the pushed branch heade76dce4502ce00c3cc0ff5ad078a79ed36fc4ad1plus the two local namespace-fixture edits, using/home/claude/worktrees/j288/target.

The next run is the kernel-engine 1280-MTU red proof; no work is queued on dev-02 or the Mac VM.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::addressestried 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.Linux ordering fix plus fixture quick pre-check passed on compute01 at the current worktree state: all 10 Rust gate rows PASS, 55 passed / 0 failed,
VERIFY_QUICK_EXIT=0. Artifact:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/verify-quick-after-kernel-fix.log.Next I will run the isolated 1280/1500 underlay matrix for both GotaTun and kernel WireGuard before committing the regression fixture and ordering fix.

The current GotaTun apply lowers the TUN to the derived 1200-byte MTU beforeNode::applyinstalls those routes. I will verify the narrow hypothesis that Linux requires the interface to remain at least 1280 through IPv6 route installation, then apply the 1200-byte packet ceiling after route changes.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 quick pre-check finding: the route-ordering candidate reached

I am adding the required docs and will rerun quick before the namespace matrix.J288 Linux matrix result after the route-ordering change: the first GotaTun case at underlay MTU 1280 now installs its IPv4 and IPv6 host routes and reports final mesh MTUs
[1200, 1200]. The IPv4 mesh ping passes; the IPv6 mesh ping then fails, so the matrix stopped before the kernel and 1500 cases. Initial artifact:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-linux-matrix.logon compute01. I added temporary route/address diagnostics to the fixture and will rerun this case to locate the IPv6 failure.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 IPv6 diagnostic finding: after the 1280-byte GotaTun namespace apply reaches mesh MTUs [1200, 1200], both namespaces have no IPv6 route to the peer and no IPv6 address on infraternal0; ping fails immediately with
Network is unreachable. This places the failure before packet forwarding. Evidence:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-gotatun-diagnostic-r3.logon compute01. I am tracing the MTU/address update boundary before changing code.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;
pingfailed locally withNetwork is unreachable(evidence:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mesh-gotatun-diagnostic-r3.log). The root cause is thatLinuxTun::set_mtuchanges 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 1200succeeds andip -6 route get fd04::2reportsmtu 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.logon 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.

I stopped only its recorded launcher and build-slot process (PIDs 663845 and 663854); the subsequent slot status no longer listed J288, and other jobs were left alone.
The Mac lock is currently held by another active build, and
~/mesh-vm.claimon compute01 belongs toJ254-linux-proof(2026-11-06T11:54:42Z). I have not started a Mac build or changed live mesh state. Pending: rerun the current native Mac tests/build underlockf -kwithCARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, remove the J288 target before unlocking, then take the matched Mac ↔ compute01 after-measurement under the claim and Mac lock. J267's before table and raw evidence paths remain recorded in #375; its summary is 0.5 / 0.2 Mbit/s at one Linux→Mac flow and 33.5 Mbit/s at eight.J288 branch refresh (2026-11-06). Rebased

The nine-file working-tree implementation remains local and uncommitted, so the prior Mac binary is not evidence for this refreshed source. J207's Mac build has released/tmp/mac-bench.lock; I will rerun the focused native tests and release build under the lock, withCARGO_INCREMENTAL=0and target cleanup before unlock. The compute01 mesh claim still belongs to J254, so no live path measurement has started.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-indesktopfeature. That pulledapple-metalinto 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.

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, thenverify fast. The live Mac ↔ compute01 measurement remains blocked on J254's~/mesh-vm.claim.J288 continuation after the std-VM freeze lifted (14:36 IST):
J288 branch refresh and gate queue:
48358a5fab(new HEAD9cadc3ceaf) and pushed mesh-mtu-381 with --force-with-lease. The nine-file working diff was preserved and synced to compute01.J288 current-base macOS proof completed under the Mac lock on source head
9cadc3ceaf(origin/dev48358a5fab):The Mac ↔ compute01 live after-measurement still cannot start while compute01 mesh-vm.claim belongs to J254-linux-proof.
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 Mac proof on the current cross-platform source completed under /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0. The mesh library suite passed 69 tests, 0 failed; the default production release build passed in 5m32s and reported infraternal 0.1.0 (stable). Candidate binary SHA-256: 3a503dd376290820c315b1a7f39632f8ad6ea74323520c9267329f4764e2ca32. Evidence on the Mac: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-lockstep-unit.log, mac-mtu-lockstep-release.log, mac-mtu-lockstep-source.txt, infraternal-mtu381-candidate.sha256, infraternal-mtu381-candidate.version, and mac-mtu-lockstep-cleanup.log. Cleanup reports COMMAND_EXIT=0, TARGET_PRESENT=no; free space returned to 24 GiB before the lock released. Next: validate current Linux changes on compute01, then claim the mesh path and run the live Mac-to-compute01 before/after set.
J288 quick is waiting through the required compute01 build-slot. At 15:54 UTC it is queue position 12 with all four slots busy; compilation has not started. The foreground launcher and log are /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/run-verify-quick.sh and /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-current.log. The existing 7.1 GiB target is retained at /home/claude/worktrees/j288/target for quick and fast. I will wait for this quick run before live measurement so build activity does not overlap the throughput sample.
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 quick remains queued and is now also below the compute01 disk admission floor: build-slot reports 24 GiB free versus 25 GiB required, with all slots busy. No J288 compilation has started; the 7.1 GiB target stays retained for the quick/fast pair. Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-current.log. I will continue waiting for the host to regain a slot and disk headroom.
J288 quick result: scope, migration names, vendoring, fmt, documentation ratchet/comments and fixed-wait checks passed. Workspace Clippy stopped on one changed-code pedantic lint in mesh_mtu.rs:42 ( should use ); unit tests did not run. Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-current.log. I replaced the equivalent expression with and will sync the one-file fix before rerunning quick.
J288 quick result: scope, migration names, vendoring, fmt, documentation ratchet/comments and fixed-wait checks passed. Workspace Clippy stopped on one changed-code pedantic lint in mesh_mtu.rs:42: map(...).unwrap_or(...) should use map_or; unit tests did not run. Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-current.log. I replaced the equivalent expression with map_or and will sync the one-file fix before rerunning quick.
J288 verify quick pre-check passed on compute01 after the map_or correction. Scope, migration names, vendoring, fmt, D345/D351 checks, workspace Clippy and changed-package unit tests all passed; unit tests were 55 passed, 0 failed. The verbatim pre-check table and VERIFY_QUICK_EXIT=0 are in /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-quick-current-r2.log. This is not the final gate. Next I will run the after-fix 1280-underlay namespace proof for both Linux engines, then commit/push and run verify fast.
J288 namespace-runner attempt stopped before compiling or running the fixture: its outer nix develop was called from /home/claude instead of the worktree and reported that no flake.nix could be found. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/namespace-mtu-after-1280.log (MESH_PROOF_EXIT=1). This is a runner cwd error, not a product result. I will change the runner to cd into ~/worktrees/j288 before nix develop and retry through build-slot.
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.
J288 implementation commit 2171a4b409413f57d2f3d11fb5cba1b7c4733025 is pushed on mesh-mtu-381. Current-source Mac proof is complete under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0. The explicit agent-feature suite includes macos_node and mesh_mtu: test result: ok. 117 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 7.60s. The default release build completed with COMMAND_EXIT=0; candidate SHA-256 c9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4; version infraternal 0.1.0 (stable). Evidence: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-mtu-final-agent-tests.log, mac-mtu-final-release.log, mac-mtu-final-agent-cleanup.log, infraternal-mtu381-final.sha256, infraternal-mtu381-final.version. Cleanup reports TARGET_PRESENT=no and 24 GiB free before lock release. The after-fix Linux 1280-underlay boundary proof for both engines is now running on compute01.
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
2171a4b40source 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
2171a4b40source. 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/dev37c93637e4. 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

D348 is still blocked for J288: J88is latest #260 note offers the next perf window to J316, not this job; I will not take the perf lock or alter CPU masks.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. The current controller and fixture hashes, disk receipt, and preflight checks are recorded in compute01: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-controller-sync-verify.log. I have not configured the mesh: J279 still owns ~/mesh-vm.claim, and verify fast remains in the workspace test phase.
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_routesfails its route-presence vector assertion;restart_retires_orphan_peer_host_routesreports a removed peer route still present withmetrics: [{"mtu":1200}]. Full evidence is in/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/logs/verify-fast-a670442.log. I am tracing route install/retirement and the test fixtures before changing anything. The gate is still running through later rows; no live mesh state has been touched.Root cause identified:
Device::routesnow installs anRTA_METRICSattribute containing oneRTAX_MTU, butretire_routestreats 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.Mac work is resumed after the std freeze lifted at 14:36 IST.

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.
J288 Mac staging finding: under
lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, I found a pre-existing/tmp/j288-mtu381-scripts-a670442on the Mac (owned by lume, dated Nov 6); I left it untouched. The safe controller now uses a unique fixture directory and evidence root, refuses pre-existing paths, verifies the package SHA-256, and cleans only the fixture directory it creates. It and the package are staged on the Mac; controller SHA-2566b9f007f468f87829e02f9f36e991aae4640492000852cb5e46570119fbb4868, archived97838850325f142ae19eab71174c51b25aa08303ead6bc68c4b0bd880bfc6b5. The candidate binary hash matches the expectedc9f48c47986179e14594b24c150b4cb5bcf90229e64f8ea3112f7a2835e477f4. The Mac disk showed 24 GiB free; no Mac build target was created. Current Mac MTU source fingerprints match commita6704428c; since then the Mac implementation only changed the visibility/comment ofMIN_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 ... trueto 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.claimalready 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.Gate tracking: opened #421 for the reproducible
verify faststatic-build source-path failure. Attached the post-restart gate log, cleanorigin/devsymlink-target failure, and physical-target passing control. This is now tracked separately and does not block the live MTU comparison.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).J288 measurement progress (2026-11-07 16:53 IST): the 12-label before/after matrix is staged. The Linux x86_64 binaries for shipped-dev

Live build log:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/build-linux-live-binaries.log.The Mac baseline build command is waiting in the foreground for
/tmp/mac-bench.lock, currently held by J340's Mac check. The build script will remove its target before releasing the lock. The live mesh claim remains held by J207, so no live mesh state or measurement has started.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.
Update (2026-11-07 16:30 IST): the shipped-dev Mac binary build completed under the Mac lock, and its target was deleted before releasing the lock. Binary SHA-256: 0071d6bb2e4efee33ef88bd0d935979d858fe70e17744d7ed318c96512f06c51. Build log: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/mac-build-dev-baseline-9b0c731.log.

Existing source-provenance evidence shows the Mac node source matches the current branch; the helper difference is visibility/documentation only.

The target was removed and the compute01 worktree is clean at the fixed head.The Mac controller and fixture archive are staged at their unique expected paths; checksums match the local inputs and the report directory is absent. No live measurement has started yet: J207 still owns the mesh claim, compute01's five build slots are busy with queued work, and J340 currently holds the Mac lock.
Correction to my previous status: the Mac lock is currently free (checked at 17:44 IST); the sentence saying J340 held it was stale by the time I posted. J207 still owns ~/mesh-vm.claim. The Linux binaries remain ready, and no live mesh measurement has started.
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.
--versionconfirms 3.21. I canceled the unnecessary build-slot fetch waiter before it acquired a slot; no package build ran. The verified fixture archive is extracted into the unique Linux fixture directory, and the run/evidence paths are confirmed absent.J328 currently owns ~/mesh-vm.claim. My foreground waiter is ready to reclaim it; the Mac lock was free at the last check.
The J288 foreground waiter acquired ~/mesh-vm.claim at 2026-11-07T11:29:02Z. Starting the live Mac↔compute01 matrix now with the verified Linux shipped-dev/fixed-head binaries, Mac shipped-dev/fixed binary hashes, and iperf3 3.21. The Mac controller acquires and holds /tmp/mac-bench.lock for the full before/after run.

Live-run diagnostic and correction:
infraternal0interface, 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
infraternal0still 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
infraternal0is 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.Additional read-only ownership check under the J288 claim at 2026-11-07T11:47:14Z:
infraternal0is a persistent TUN (tun vnet_hdr persist user 0 group 0). No J288 agent process was present, and the visible J207 process had no open /dev/net/tun descriptor. This still does not establish who created the persistent interface, so I released the claim without cleanup. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/preflight-interface-owner-20261107.md.Resumed after kayg's #402 cleanup notice. J288 acquired ~/mesh-vm.claim at 2026-11-07T12:02:07Z; preflight confirms infraternal0 is absent and TCP/45269 is free. Starting the full 12-label shipped-dev/fixed-head × plain/mesh × 3-repetition matrix now. The Mac controller takes /tmp/mac-bench.lock for the complete Mac build/test step. I will release the mesh claim after cleanup, within the 60-minute window.
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):
Failure report:
/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/live-matrix-20261107/run-final/evidence/mesh-mtu-live-matrix-report.json. It records the 1280-MTU route and cleanup (infraternal0absent, 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.stderrshow 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/tmpfiles because it did not own them; I will clean those files explicitly and stage the corrected script at the exact path the runner uses.Evidence:

J254 acquired
~/mesh-vm.claimat 18:00 IST while I was correcting the runner. Mynoclobberclaim attempt did not replace it. 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:

After I released my claim at 18:07 IST, J254 re-claimed at 18:10 IST. The compute host now has a persistent
infraternal0TUN interface at MTU 1380 with a GotaTun alias.lsof -t /dev/net/tunreported no open process, and port 45269 is free. My preceding aborted run had confirmedinfraternal0absent; I did not create or touch the current interface.Evidence:

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
infraternal0and 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):

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

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/tmppath.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.36e7a630836e7a6308The 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 source2171a4b409413f57d2f3d11fb5cba1b7c4733025, an equivalent route-MTU implementation commit. Comparing that source to36e7a6308, the only mesh-source differences are Linux route handling and the visibility of a constant used by that Linux code;macos_node.rsand the macOS route-MTU implementation are unchanged. An exact-head Mac rebuild was attempted under the Mac lock, but the unrelatedinfraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:424SockFlag::SOCK_CLOEXECcompile 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 itsinfraternal0; I left that state untouched.Evidence:

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_mtufails as expected, exit 101.P2: bound an explicit route MTU by the egress link MTU before subtracting overhead (

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_mtufails, exit 101 (mtu-repro-root.log). Refresh every affected route when re-deriving, including unchanged peers; the interface floor alone cannot reserve encapsulation overhead.wireguard.rs:1116-1119returns 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_mtufails, 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:

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.

36e7a6308f5561181b56cf44b67f479a33d6d0f6.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:
min(endpoint route MTU, egress link MTU) - 80. The 80-byte reserve covers the IPv6 outer header, UDP, and WireGuard; IPv4 is conservatively smaller.max_datagram_size(). Quinn 0.11.12 defines that value as the maximum application payload passed tosend_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_pathis 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.J350 relay regression test is red on macOS at merged head
2a621416d(before MTU implementation changes). Underlockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock,CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, the real loopback QUIC relay reportedmax_datagram_size=Some(1214)on a 1280 path andSome(1434)on a 1500 path. The current 1200/1420 inner budgets require 1236/1456-byte relay payloads and bothsend_datagramcalls returnTooLarge; 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 requiredtest-supportfeature; that runner error is retained asmac-j350-red.logand is superseded by the valid red run above.J288 resumed implementation on branch mesh-mtu-381 at merge base
2a621416d(36e7a6308plus dev6b1bdb81b). 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_datagramfails 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-256349b22e042685a47977e3358e9f421c60da0c252cd4d3262b52185a1115924dd). The Mac red run at the same merged head is recorded in the preceding comment.The other two J350 regressions are red on dev-02 inside separate disposable user/network namespaces.
endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtusees underlay link MTU 1280 and explicit route MTU 9000, then writes peer route MTU 8920.full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtusees the unchanged peer remain at 1420 after the underlay is narrowed while the new peer gets 1200. Raw output:/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-route-red-r1.log(SHA-256dd74606ac9ecccfa05525772e61fe937a43f3ed754dd742355c189c61eaf5bb7). No production code has changed.The new shared-helper test is also red before its implementation: it reports
cannot find function for_relay_datagramfor the 1214-byte, 1434-byte, and unavailable-limit cases. Output is retained at/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-relay-helper-red.log(SHA-2564dbb85420be08643f809699039cf868aa716089ece421af68d053cdec440a821).J288 continuation on
mesh-mtu-381at merge base2a621416d(the review head36e7a6308plus dev6b1bdb81b). 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 tosend_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. Productionrelay_pathremains 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 through6b1bdb81b). 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.
J288 Linux library regressions green on dev-02 (aarch64): 152 passed, 23 ignored, 0 failed. This includes relay_route_budget_tracks_live_datagram_limit_changes and wireguard route-metric ownership coverage. Full receipt: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j288/evidence/linux-mesh-lib-green-dev02.log. The two new route-level J350 tests still need isolated root namespaces.
J288 Linux route regressions green in separate disposable network namespaces on compute01. endpoint_route_metric_is_bounded_by_egress_link_mtu set a 1280 egress link with an explicit 9000 route metric and observed mesh route MTU 1200. full_peer_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu observed the retained peer route change 1420 → 1200 after the underlay narrowed, while the new peer also received 1200.

J288 committed and pushed the focused fix as 2647e8fdd51af9d35986c36ca3e57305bc9a5fa2. 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.

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 18TooLargedrops 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.

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

35e3f08bacon 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.35e3f08/ plain35e3f08/ plain35e3f08/ mesh35e3f08/ meshThe shipped-dev Linux mesh link stayed at MTU 1380 over the 1280 underlay. At
35e3f08the 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 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.

The relay sizing test accepts a 1204-byte frame withmax_datagram_size=1214(inner MTU 1168), and a 1428-byte frame withmax_datagram_size=1434(inner MTU 1392).

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

/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/matrix-audit.txt.Focused review reproductions are queued through dev-02's build-slot (recorded wrapper PID 7549). They check access-only route refresh, stale relay refresh across fallback, and direct IPv6 padding on mixed-MTU paths, alongside the earlier regression tests. No live mesh claim is held. One target will be used on dev-02,
/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/target, with the required worktree symlink, and removed after the tests. The compute01 target has already been removed. Verdict follows the focused results.J375 re-review finding P2: access-only snapshots still leave stale route MTUs.
Location:
crates/plugins/mesh/src/node.rs:2280–2310, thechanged.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. This is the access-only part of J350's earlier refresh finding, so that finding is only partially resolved.
Evidence: review test

Log:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/access_only_update_refreshes_existing_peer_route_mtu.log. This is namespace proof, not a new live/root-host matrix.Please refresh the retained peers on this accepted-update path as well, while preserving the access-update transaction and rollback rules. Review reproducer patch and logs follow with the final review.
J375 re-review finding P2: an obsolete relay refresh can overwrite the direct-path budget.
Locations:
crates/plugins/mesh/src/relay_path.rs:768–807andnode.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;
settleclearspeer.activeand 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 actualsettle, 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.logon 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_paddinguses the actual pinned GotaTun handshake/encryption path with watcher MTU 1420. Log:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j375/evidence/focused-unit-rerun.logon 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:
settletest observes 1200 restored, then stale 1392 written. Route application needs active-path identity/generation validation at the write boundary.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.

Mesh production code in that merge is byte-identical to the submitted head. Requested merged-treescripts/verify quickpassed before adding the review-only tests. Verbatim summary: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: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

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.

de84e84112; merged current origin/dev8e664e6b7a. 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.

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 thedataplane::Peerwhen the relay shim is created.updater(None)re-derives the route from that copy'sendpoint, 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, andsettle→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

infraternalbinary does not enableinfraternal-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 currentPeerfrom a key-indexed map thatNodekeeps in step with the accepted config. Do the lookup under the samerelay_route_mtu_overrideslock, and make it a no-op (dropping any override) when the key is gone. That fixes both. It also keeps thewireguard::Client(relay()) impl from writing routes for peers it doesn't own.P3-C (performance, macOS): every Mac
applynow runsroute_mtus(&config)→/sbin/route -n get+/sbin/ifconfigper 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 beforeblock_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

Peer.route_mtu_generation, thenPeerRouteState(inupdate_peer_route_mtu'sspawn_blocking).settletakesPeer.state, thenroute_mtu_generation, and releases both before any route write. The node side takes onlyPeerRouteState, 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 frompeersunder 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, alternatingSome(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 finalNone→ v4 1408 / v6 1408. Three v6 samples readmtu 1280in 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 becausestd::Mutexis 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.

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.restore_peer_route_state(previous)overwrites the whole state, including any override a relay callback changed during the transaction.
