Found by J267 (#375); first seen by J255 as F4 on #260 (comment 80412, on
5ea05cc2e). It has no issue of its own yet, and it still reproduces. Severity P2 (silent mesh outage). It may be P1 if restoring a server from backup is supported (see "Risk").What: the Linux node's saved mesh state (
<state>/mesh-public.json; for the server's embedded agent, the fixed/run/infraternal) isn't tied to the server or mesh that wrote it. On restore, the node keeps the oldconfig.version.node.rsstage()(dev0b72f638a, lines 1365–1367) then refuses every full snapshot withchunk.version < v.validate_bindingonly fences a different node id, and the server's own node is always node 1. So a new or reinstalled server on the same host, whose revision starts low, has its configs refused until its revision passes the old one, and nothing logs it.Live repro (J267, compute01, root, throwaway servers in
/root/j267):0b72f638a, datadata2) ran up to mesh revision 11, then was stopped gracefully (SIGTERM).data3/ca3. The node restores/run/infraternal/mesh-public.json={"version":11,"node":1,"server":1,"peers":[]}(/root/j267/stale-from-server2/summary.json), while server #3 is at revision 2.mesh up. The Mac receives its config (1 peer) and installsutun410.254.0.2, but the Linux node never adds it:nft list set inet infraternal_mesh incoming4_allstays empty and Mac → 10.254.0.1 ping is 0/4 for over 60 s. Server and node log nothing.mesh-*files aside and restart server #3: the Linux set holds10.254.0.2and the Mac's ping passes within about 3 s.Crash variant (case 7, #375): after
kill -9of server #1,/run/infraternalkeepsmesh-{engine,interface,public,routes}.jsonandmesh-private-key, andinfraternal0stays (DOWN). The next server adopts that interface, its IPv6 ULA (the old mesh'sfd3e:fa5e:69ff::/48) and its private key.Risk: the same path runs when a server is restored from an older backup. Every node keeps its newer saved config, so peers removed after the backup was taken stay installed until the restored server's revision passes theirs. That breaks D166's "removal reaches each peer when it reconnects". I didn't run this variant. It follows from the same check, so I rate it P2 and flag it for the owner.
Expected: state written for another server identity, or a revision regression from an authenticated full snapshot of the current server, retires the old config (or at least logs it and shows it in the UI), and the node takes the new snapshot.
Links: #260, #375, #285, D166.
J287 start. Branch
mesh-compat-382, base3dc58dc67b771c7e38a298c3c5ac437055b8ff44(origin/dev).Plan (estimate 4 hours): (1) read D166/D339/D352 and J267's issue evidence; determine and document restore support and stale state behavior on #382, (2) write and observe a failing regression test for #382, then fix and commit, (3) write and observe a failing regression test for #380, then fix and commit, (4) prove both fixes on compute01 and dev-02 under the mesh claim, (5) run
verify quickandverify fast, and post evidence and final heads/gate output. Safe restore behavior is fail closed if compatibility remains unresolved.J287 finding, with the backup-restore question answered before the fix:
docs/operations/deploy.mdexplicitly covers restoring an older server backup by hand; D168 also treats restore as a cold start. This is not limited to the in-deploy health-check rollback.mesh-public.json. On the embedded Linux node it lives under/run/infraternal; J267's #375 case 7 recorded the stale version 11 snapshot there after a graceful stop and a fresh server start on the same host. The peer node also retains its own last accepted snapshot locally./runstate can disappear on host reboot, but a server process stop/restart or in-place restore on the same boot leaves it available.node.rs::stagerejects a full snapshot whose version is lower than the retained config version before staging a replacement.validate_bindingchecks the node/key binding, but does not bind the saved snapshot to a server identity. The old config therefore stays installed. D166 says the mesh keeps working from its last known rules without an expiry while the server is unreachable.Severity recommendation: P1. The supported restore path can preserve a removed peer's data-plane authorization indefinitely, so this violates D166's removal guarantee, not just availability. I am keeping the implementation fail-closed: no stale peer config survives an identity change or revision rollback.
J287 implementation proposal before code (contracts remain additive):
#382 restore behavior: Two options are (1) require every restored server backup to preserve a monotonic mesh revision and removal tombstones, or (2) treat an authenticated, key-bound full snapshot at an equal/lower revision as a fresh authority epoch: retire the old peer config first, then apply the full snapshot; never accept a lower delta. I recommend (2) as the node-side safe default because it also handles a fresh server identity and does not trust stale local peer state. It can briefly interrupt mesh traffic during a server reset, but no peer from the previous authority remains installed. I will log any rejected chunk with its revision and error kind.
#380 compatibility: Keep the existing
MeshConfigChunkshape compatible by omitting the rotation-onlyprevious_activefield when false; D166 already records old nodes as rotation-unsupported and blocks rotation while one is enrolled. Add an additivekey_rotation_supportedboolean to each serverMeshNoderesponse so the server inventory identifies those nodes, and makeinfraternal statusexplain that an enabled mesh withconfig:nullhas not accepted a server configuration and may have a server/infraternal-agent version mismatch. The old client wire parser stays strict; active rotation fields are never sent while an unsupported node remains enrolled.J287 #382 RED evidence on dev-02, before production changes:
Command:
unshare -Urn nix develop git+file:///home/claude/infraternal?ref=nix-devshell -c cargo test -p infraternal-plugin-mesh --features agent --test policy_snapshot_ordering nft_server_revision_rollback_replaces_stale_peers -- --ignored --exact --nocaptureObserved:
restored full snapshot was refused: Err(Kind(InvalidData)); the version-11 config and peer remained installed, so the test failed as expected.Full output:
/home/claude/worktrees/j287-test/red-382.logoninfraternal-dev-02-std.J287 progress / VM freeze update:
The owner has frozen dev-02 and macOS work. The #382 red regression finished on dev-02 before the freeze; its full output remains at
/home/claude/worktrees/j287-test/red-382.logoninfraternal-dev-02-std. I will not start further runs or cleanup there until the freeze is lifted. I am moving remaining implementation and verification to compute01 and will use an isolated network namespace for the second node. No Mac-only proof is needed for this issue.J287 #382 RED confirmation on compute01, before the production fix. Both regression cases ran in disposable user/network namespaces and failed on the expected stale-state behavior:
nft_server_revision_rollback_replaces_stale_peers: lower full snapshot refused withErr(InvalidData); log/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/targeted/red-382-rollback.log(exit101).nft_new_server_rejection_retires_previous_peers: the old peer remained in the retained config (Some(1), expectedSome(0)); log/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/targeted/red-382-identity.log(exit101).J287 progress: branch
mesh-compat-382is rebased onorigin/devatad23e8536. The firstverify quickstopped on rustfmt, and the next stopped on D345 comments adjacent to the changed hunks; both findings are fixed. The current quick retry is queued on compute01 (position 3 at last status); output is being saved to/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-final.log. I have not started new work on dev-02 or macOS under the owner's freeze.J287
verify quickattempt on the earlier compute01 copy stopped at clippy with E0433: the #382 reset helper referencedDefaultPolicywithout its module path. I qualified it ascrate::dataplane::DefaultPolicyand amended the pushed #382 commit to0ca782f1f. Failure output is preserved at/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-final.log; the next quick run will use the amended head.Correction to the prior progress comment:
0ca782f1fwas an intermediate #382 head. Clippy foundexpect-related lints in both slices; I removed those panic paths, then rebuilt the history as the requested two issue commits. Current pushed heads are #3806696e6a67and #38293de0471c, based onorigin/dev0aad23e1c. The clippy failure is preserved at/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-amended.log; the current quick retry uses the corrected head.J287 progress: the current
scripts/verify quickrun passed on compute01. The log is/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-current.log; it reports fmt, D345/doc coverage, workspace clippy, changed-package unit tests, UI literals, and tracer typecheck all PASS. This is the pre-check, not the final gate.Next: run the #382 root/network-namespace proof, the #380 real-node compatibility proof, then
scripts/verify faston compute01. The mesh claim is still held by J175 and compute01 currently has all four build slots occupied, so I am waiting for those resources. Per the owner freeze, there will be no new work or cleanup on dev-02 or macOS. The old-Mac-client A/B for #380 remains pending until the Mac VM is available; I will attach the Linux network-namespace proof now and record the Mac proof separately later.Finding from verify fast on
93de0471c: the privileged row had five failures. Two address-recovery cases and two local-node-binding cases showed that the #382 reset ran before authorization when only node ID or mesh addresses changed, erasing a valid same-server configuration on an invalid snapshot. The new-server rejection test also expected an empty Config, while the implementation intentionally persists config:null so a lower-revision full snapshot can establish a new base; the peer counter remained the next safety assertion. I am narrowing reset triggers to changed server identity or revision rollback, and updating that test to assert no accepted snapshot and zero installed peers. The gate is still running its static build; the full output will follow.Progress: narrowed the #382 reset trigger and amended the #382 commit; the branch is now rebased on origin/dev
863c8f97f. Current #382 head:26073ac59. The fix retains valid same-server state when an untrusted node ID/address change is refused, while server identity changes and revision rollback still retire old peers. I added a two-namespace test that proves TCP reachability before peer removal and checks a new connection fails after the restored lower-revision snapshot. The earlier verify fast run is still compiling an isolated pre-correction checkout; I will rerun quick and fast on the current head once it exits. The mesh claim remains J175's, so I have not started the root proof.Pre-correction gate evidence: the long verify fast run on

Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-fast.log on compute01. The corrected head still needs its quick and fast gates.
Progress: the pre-correction verify fast finished with the privileged row failing on the five reset-related cases; the exact table and full log path are above. The corrected branch head is
26073ac59. Its verify quick is queued on compute01 at position 3 because all four slots are occupied; log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-rebased.log.

The final verify fast is queued on compute01 as PID 1179868; its log will be /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-fast-rebased.log. The mesh claim remains J175's, so the root two-node proof is still pending.Correction verified in the current fast run: the privileged suite now passes both #382 regression cases, including revision-11-to-2 replacement and invalid-new-server fail-closed retirement, and the existing local-node-identity refusal test passes again. Evidence is in /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-fast-rebased.log (rows 58–60). The full gate is still running.
The current verify fast completed on
26073ac59with one privileged-row failure. The new #382 two-node test could not start because the sandbox had no /run/netns mount point; it failed at mount setup before creating the mesh topology. The other #382 rows passed, as did the remaining privileged tests. Full log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-fast-rebased.log.

I am tracing the GotaTun retirement/apply path and will rerun after the claim clears.J287 blocked on shared compute01 resources: the mesh claim is still J175’s (

The final fast log and the exactrestored_snapshot_makes_a_removed_peer_unreachablefailure are preserved above at /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-fast-final-head.log. I have not claimed the mesh or queued another build. The root proof script is ready at /root/worktrees/j287-root/prove.sh; I will resume when the claim is free and a slot is available. Mac-only #380 A/B remains pending under the owner freeze.J287 update: J175 released the mesh claim; J259 now owns it (
2026-11-06T09:39:38Z). Compute01 has one free build slot, but I will not start the root mesh proof until the claim is free. The direct root test is ready with failure diagnostics; no mesh test is running.J287 root repro on compute01:

This is a fail-closed stop, not a stale-peer acceptance. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/root-382-debug.log. I am adjusting the integration assertion to accept either successful replacement or an explicit stopped/refused path, while requiring that the removed peer cannot be reached in either case.J287 update after rebasing onto origin/dev
914b0da066(branch head7665cdcc71):The compute01 root repro exercised two isolated GotaTun nodes. It first established TCP reachability, then offered the same server's lower-revision restored snapshot. The chunk was refused with InvalidData, but the node had already retired its saved config (config=None), its peer counters reported NotConnected, and a new TCP connection to the removed peer failed. This is the fail-closed path: no stale peer remains reachable. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/root-382-debug.log.
I updated the regression to accept either a committed restored snapshot with zero peers or refusal only after the old config and dataplane are gone, and it always checks TCP reachability after the restore. The prior test-only assertion failed on the observed safe refusal; the updated test has not yet been rerun as root.
verify quick passed on the rebased source; log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-rebased-final.log. I have not queued the root proof: J294 currently holds ~/mesh-vm.claim. I will resume when it is released. Mac-only old-client A/B for #380 remains pending under the freeze.

J294 2026-11-06T10:14:04Z, and all four build slots are occupied (with other jobs queued at the latest check). I have not queued a J287 root proof or gate run. The rebased source is at7665cdcc71; verify quick passed at /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-rebased-final.log. The updated root regression, verify fast, and perf-VM measurement remain pending. No new work has started on dev-02 or macOS; the Mac-only old-client A/B remains pending.J287 progress: both atomic fixes are now rebased onto current origin/dev
88e00ab422and pushed on mesh-compat-382. Current head:4f9008bb2d(#380 commit1486e2819; #382 commit4f9008bb2).Severity verdict: P1. Server restore is a supported operational path (deploy docs; D168 cold start). D166 keeps last-known peer rules indefinitely while disconnected, so restoring a backup from before a peer removal can leave that peer reachable. This is an access-control failure, not only an outage.
The adjusted root regression is committed and expects either a successful lower-revision full snapshot with no peers or an explicit refusal only after the old config and dataplane are gone and TCP is unreachable. The prior root diagnostic showed the safe refusal branch; the updated test must still be rerun at this head. Prior verify quick evidence is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-rebased-final.log, on the preceding
914b0dabase, so I will rerun quick and fast after this rebase.I have not queued the root proof: J294 still owns ~/mesh-vm.claim, and compute01 slots are currently occupied. The Mac-only old-client/server A/B remains pending under the freeze; dev-02 and macOS remain untouched.

Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-latest.log. This is only the pre-check; verify fast and the root proof remain pending. The mesh claim is still J294's, so I have not started the root proof.J287 update: J294 released the mesh claim; ~/mesh-vm.claim is currently free. All four compute01 build slots are occupied and another job is queued, so I have not claimed the mesh or queued the root proof. The latest-head verify quick passed (log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/verify-quick-latest.log). I will acquire the claim and run the real proof when a compute01 slot is available.
J287 update: verify fast is now queued on compute01 at current head

It is the isolated gate run and does not need the mesh claim. The real root proof remains unstarted; ~/mesh-vm.claim is currently free, and I will acquire it only once a slot is available. No work has started on dev-02 or macOS.J287 restore facts and severity
infraternal restore;docs/operations/deploy.mddocuments restoring an older backup when a migration cannot be rewound, and D168 explicitly treats restore or migration as a cold start. J267 did not run a full backup restore, so the exact database restore path was not exercised in that report./run/infraternal; J267's same-host replacement retainedmesh-public.jsonand the othermesh-*files across process replacement. Remote nodes persist their accepted config in<state>/mesh-public.json. That saved config contains the accepted server/revision and peer rules.restored_snapshot_makes_a_removed_peer_unreachableestablishes TCP reachability before the rollback and requires it to fail afterward. The earlier root repro log at/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/root-382-debug.logobserved the fail-closed refusal path; I will rerun it on the rebased head.The options are to preserve a monotonic mesh revision and removal history through every server restore, or to treat a current authenticated full snapshot at a lower revision as a new authority epoch. I recommend the node-side fail-closed path: retire the old peer rules before staging the replacement; if it cannot safely accept the new snapshot, stop the old dataplane and report the refusal. This avoids trusting stale local peers while keeping the protocol/server restore semantics unchanged.

Each of the three J330 regressions ran exactly one test and failed with exit 101 on the reviewed head. The equal-revision finding requires an authenticated reset/epoch distinction, not removal of same-authority conflict/replay protection. A fresh macOS enrolment also has separate fingerprint reconciliation; the same-enrolment restore/fork case remains.
Compatibility and #285 trust: the pre-#285 strict decoder accepts the nonrotating wire shape after omitting
previous_active:false; true and predecessor-key fields remain explicit when used. No new signature/admission bypass found. Existing identity Ed25519 proof signs the domain-separated challenge and candidate CSR; the server checks old identity signature, candidate possession and operation/sequence/issuer binding. Authenticated NodeChannel/NodeBridge selects the host binding. Capability=false still prevents rotation/overlap publication while an unsupported node is present (D166/D352). The compatibility patch changes serialization, not trust admission. Snapshots still trust the authenticated coordinator; it does not add independent freshness signatures or solve the authority/reset problem above.Config/crash safety: individual public-file replacement uses write + file fsync + rename + parent fsync (
node_state.rs:478). The surrounding retirement is not an irreversible atomic authorization transition: the saved old snapshot and in-memory rollback can restore old peers after an error, as the P1 reproducer demonstrates. The persistent equal-version guard also makes normal lower-version replacement fall back to shutdown, as the P2 reproducer demonstrates.Red/green proof:

3d2208f7a6afbf4ac5337eceb4d50b45e6fb6eed.J287 update: J330's three red regressions are confirmed by the reproducer attached to comment 83117; this branch still routes authority retirement through ordinary apply/rollback, and the persisted lower-version replacement conflicts with the stored revision. The pre-#285 wire fallback and #285 trust admission remain sound. Current head is
3d2208f7a; base isorigin/dev fba745051. No code has changed yet.Plan (estimate 4 hours, subject to the compute01 maintenance window): (1) bring in each regression red-first and prove the expected failure; (2) implement one authority-epoch transition shared by Linux and macOS, with same-epoch replay/conflict checks preserved and same-epoch lower-version replacement kept enabled; (3) run the Mac suite under its lock; (4) after compute01 is back, run the real-root proof plus
verify quickand foregroundverify fast. This change is control/configuration-plane only; it does not change packet forwarding, so no perf-VM measurement is planned.Protocol shape proposed before implementation: add optional
authority_epoch: UUIDto eachmesh.configureChunk, repeated on every part and persisted in the node's accepted public snapshot. The server stamps it; it is never caller-selected. The existing authenticatedNodeChannel/NodeBridgeis the trust source, so this adds no new trust admission path. The server will send it only after an explicitmesh.identitycapability probe succeeds; strict older nodes keep the existing pre-#285 wire shape and remain non-rotating under D166/D352. New-node status and the server's node view will expose when that capability is missing.For an epoch-capable node, only a changed epoch triggers retirement; same-epoch replay and conflict checks stay unchanged. Retirement will fence/drop prior peers first and discard any rollback copy that can restore them, then persist the new accepted snapshot. A persistence error after the fence leaves the mesh down. A lower version within the same epoch is an ordinary replacement and remains enabled.
Restore choice for discussion: an explicit admin reset preserves the epoch across ordinary restarts but depends on operators remembering it after a supported backup restore; a fresh process-incarnation epoch is automatic and makes restores safe, but causes nodes to reapply mesh state after every server restart. I recommend the latter as the fail-closed default requested here: D166's last-known rules remain active while the server is unreachable, and reconnect applies the new epoch. If restore behavior should instead require an explicit operator reset, please say so; I will proceed with the automatic safe default.
J287 / J330 redesign plan before production changes (estimate: 4 hours plus VM gate time).
The two P1s and P2 share one cause: authority replacement currently goes through ordinary apply/rollback, and the code uses the routing NodeId plus revision to infer a new authority. I will keep the three attached regressions as the red-first tests and add the Mac equivalents before changing production code.
Protocol shape required: add an optional UUID string
authority_epochto everymesh.configurechunk, repeated and validated across all chunks. The server creates one fresh process-incarnation UUID at startup; the existing authenticatedNodeChannel/NodeBridgeprotects the action, andmesh.configureremains unavailable through the local CLI. The node stores the epoch beside its accepted public snapshot. A changed epoch causes one irreversible retirement before a full snapshot is staged, regardless of routing NodeId or revision. Same-epoch replay/conflict checks stay unchanged. The lower-revision snapshot in the new epoch is installed as an enabled replacement transaction.To preserve strict older
deny_unknown_fieldsdecoders, the coordinator will negotiate anauthority_epochcapability throughmesh.identityfirst, then retry the existing probes for key rotation/compact access when that field is refused. It sends the new chunk field only to a node that proves support. Missing epoch on a node with epoch-bound state must fail closed and be visible; we must not silently accept an epoch-less replacement. Nodes that do not support this reset cannot be claimed restore-safe until upgraded. I recommend that compatibility be surfaced as unsupported, while preserving D166/D352's no-rotation fallback.Retirement will fence/drop prior peers in the Linux and Mac runtime first, then persist. Its rollback state will contain no peer from the retired epoch. If persistence fails after the fence, the node remains down or on the new config. This follows D166's reconnect-time removal rule, preserves D352's no-rotation rule for unsupported nodes, and adds no trust path beyond #285's authenticated coordinator channel and existing key/node binding.
Current execution constraint: compute01 is under its announced maintenance freeze, so I will continue code/test edits and allowed Mac work, and will not start a compute build, root proof, quick or fast gate until the owner posts “compute01 back, 5 slots.”

The first attempted run at558a6e150was a compile-only failure from the missing chunk-builder default; it is not counted as red evidence.J287 progress: checkpointed the inherited epoch and three J330 regression tests as WIP head
99ae94dbb, pushed tomesh-compat-382. The red evidence is already on this issue: the exact three failures were reproduced on Mac at97dd20509(comment 83197 references the Linux reproducers and the attached patch at 83117).The audit found two remaining design gaps in the checkpoint: retirement still enters the ordinary apply transaction, and the lower-version exception currently weakens the store's general stale-writer guard. I am replacing that with direct runtime fencing followed by a peer-free epoch snapshot, while authorizing lower versions only through a complete same-epoch snapshot compare-and-set. The epoch protocol shape was posted before implementation in the earlier proposal; it is a canonical UUID repeated per chunk over the authenticated NodeChannel/NodeBridge.
This change only touches configuration/control flow; packet forwarding is unchanged, so no perf-VM measurement is planned. Mac suite and launcher preflight remain pending; compute01 work waits for the owner’s “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice.
J287 progress on J330: the three regression assertions are checkpointed and pushed at
802f6a488(the Mac red receipts are in comments above; the reproducer patch is attached to 83117).I confirmed the current protocol source:
Store::newcreates a fresh UUID for each coordinator process;mesh.configurerepeats it only for nodes that negotiate the capability, and the node retains it with its public snapshot. The remaining flaw is in the retirement operation itself: Linux calls normalapply, and macOS calls the worker's rollback-capable apply. Failure state also drops the new epoch, so a later epoch-less chunk could be accepted. I will replace both with direct, no-rollback peer fencing, keep the new epoch in a peer-free deny snapshot, and restore the ordinary store's monotonic revision guard while allowing a complete same-epoch lower-version snapshot only through a compare-and-set against the accepted config.D166, D352 and #285 remain satisfied by the existing authenticated channel and the negotiated capability; the pre-#285 wire fallback and no-rotation rule stay unchanged. This is control/configuration-plane work, so it does not touch packet forwarding and needs no perf-VM measurement. Compute01 work remains paused until the owner posts “compute01 back, 5 slots.”
J287 design finding before the next implementation slice: the server must send an authority epoch on mesh snapshots. This branch already has an optional chunk field,
authority_epoch, plus an authenticated node capability probe, butconfiguration::compilestill builds snapshots withauthority_epoch: None; the field is not yet carrying an epoch.Proposed wire and persistence shape:
MeshConfigChunk.authority_epoch: Option<Uuid>, serialized as the canonical lower-case UUID string and repeated on every chunk of a full snapshot or delta. The server creates and persists one epoch for the deployment; each node stores the authenticated value beside its accepted snapshot.authority_epoch: true. The value comes from the already authenticated server-to-node channel and existing node binding; a node cannot choose or advance it. This leaves strict pre-epoch decoders on their known wire shape.NodeIdor revision comparison implies an epoch transition. Same-epoch replay and conflict checks remain unchanged.I recommend an explicit authority-reset step as part of the documented restore procedure, which can be automated by a restore helper later. The alternative is an external monotonic restore counter that detects restores without an operator step; it adds state and backup coordination. Until a new epoch is durably established, the safe default is to refuse the new mesh config and keep no peers from the previous epoch.
This preserves the #285 authenticated enrollment/admission model: the epoch changes retirement authority only and grants no new node or key admission.
Correction to my preceding design note: tracing
node_coordination::runshows that chunks already receivestore.authority_epoch(). Today that method aliases the random, process-localserver_instance, so the wire value changes on every server process restart and is not durably tied to the deployment or its restored snapshot. The gap is persistence and restore handling, not the chunk assignment.I will keep
server_instancefor process-lifetime rotation acknowledgments and introduce a separate persisted deployment epoch for mesh snapshots. This preserves the proposedauthority_epoch: Option<Uuid>chunk shape and the authenticated channel/capability negotiation above.J287 / J330 redesign progress on
mesh-compat-382.The J330 reproducer at comment 83117 matches the three regressions already checkpointed on this branch. The pushed head is
7b09b1471; there are no local edits, andorigin/dev(fba745051) is already an ancestor. The server currently uses a process-localserver_instanceasauthority_epoch; the node persists that value, but it is not a stable deployment epoch across ordinary restarts.Restore choices:
I recommend option 2: retain one deployment epoch across normal restarts, explicitly reset it during the documented restore procedure, and fail closed if the epoch cannot be durably initialized. The existing
authority_epoch: UUIDfield is repeated on negotiated mesh chunks and authenticated by the existing NodeChannel/NodeBridge; no wire-shape or #285 admission change is needed. Pre-#285 nodes remain on their old wire shape and cannot rotate under D166/D352. This follows D166's last-known-rules behavior while offline and changes authority only when the authenticated epoch changes.Plan (estimate 4 hours plus VM gate time): (1) run the committed epoch persistence test red, add durable server epoch storage and restore reset documentation; (2) verify J330 failed-retirement, equal-revision restore, and persistent lower-version replacement tests, then close any Linux/macOS transition gaps; (3) run the Mac suite under its lock; (4) after compute01 returns, run the real-root restore/reachability proof,
verify quick, and foregroundverify fast. The changes are configuration/control-plane only; packet forwarding is unchanged, so no perf-VM measurement is planned. The previous dev-02 focused test was stopped while queued below the 40 GB disk floor; no compute01 work will start until the owner posts “compute01 back, 5 slots.”J287 finding: the committed deployment-epoch regression is red on

verify quick/verify fastremain pending its announced maintenance restart and the owner’s “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice. No new compute01 work has started.J287 follow-up to J330's review (comment 83197), before any further protocol work:
The authority boundary uses the additive
authority_epochfield on everyMeshConfigChunk: a canonical lowercase UUID, repeated across chunks, persisted in servermesh_stateand beside the accepted node snapshot inmesh-public.json. The node advertises epoch support in its authenticatedIdentityProbe; the server sends the field only to capable nodes, preserving the strict legacy wire shape for older nodes. The value is authenticated by the existing server-authenticatedNodeChannel/NodeBridgebinding; it is not a new standalone signature. That matches #285's trust model: the coordinator is the authority for snapshots, while the identity proof and host binding gate admission. D166 requires retained rules to keep working while the server is unreachable and removed peers to be dropped when the node reconnects; D352 keeps rotation fail-closed for unsupported peers.For a deliberate older-database restore,
docs/operations/deploy.mdrequires clearingmesh_state.authority_epochwhile the server is stopped. The server then commits a fresh UUID before publishing any snapshot. Ordinary restarts and in-deploy rollback retain the epoch. On an epoch change the node fences the prior peer set before persistence and accepts only a full snapshot; if that transition fails, it stays peer-free/down rather than restoring the old set. Same-epoch replay/conflict checks remain in force, and a lower-version full snapshot under the same epoch is a normal transaction that stays enabled.Restore policy options: (A) make the restored server's full snapshot authoritative, including the memberships that exist in that backup; or (B) clear mesh membership on restore and require an explicit re-enrollment/reconciliation step, avoiding implicit restoration of any pre-backup membership but adding operator downtime. Recommendation: (A), with post-backup revocations reconciled before the restored server is exposed; the node-side safe default is still to retire every peer from the old local authority and never fall back to that copy if the new snapshot cannot be persisted.
Plan: apply the three attached J330 regressions as red-first coverage (their red receipts are in 83197 and the test-only commit is
06e2be653), fix any remaining fixture omissions, rerun quick/fast on compute01, repeat the real-root authority replacement proof under the mesh claim, then run the Mac suite under/tmp/mac-bench.lock.

944db94e30on branch mesh-compat-382. The branch is pushed and clean; current origin/dev21b3c84cedis an ancestor. Fresh nix develop . -c cargo fmt --check passed (attached log). The final-head quick and Mac suites are already recorded above; Mac validation includes all 116 mesh agent tests, the server epoch-reset test, and target removal before releasing the lock.The owner’s “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice is present on #402. Preflight found all five compute01 slots busy with five queued jobs, dev-02’s one slot busy with three queued jobs, and ~/mesh-vm.claim still owned by J254 (2026-11-07T12:40:58Z). I have not queued J287 work or taken another job’s claim. The prepared final-head root proof and foreground verify fast are still pending these resources. I will acquire the mesh claim only immediately before the real-root proof and release it as soon as that proof ends.
This is authority/configuration and status handling; packet forwarding is unchanged, so no perf-VM measurement is needed. Current preflight receipt is attached.
J287 resource update at 2026-11-07T13:19Z, head
944db94e30. Compute01 still has all five slots busy and seven queued jobs; 55 GiB is free. The live-mesh claim remains J254’s (2026-11-07T12:40:58Z). Dev-02 is now free, but this task’s final x86 real-root proof and merge-gate verify fast are required on compute01, so I have not occupied dev-02’s slot. No J287 build is queued and no claim is held. Current resource receipt is attached.J287 root-proof preflight at 2026-11-07T13:40:43Z. Local and pushed branch heads match at
944db94e30; current origin/dev21b3c84cedis an ancestor. The compute01 user worktree and /root clone are both clean at that head. Both exact Nix launcher checks report Cargo 1.99.0, and the local and remote root-proof script hashes match. The full preflight receipt is attached.Compute01 currently has one slot free and eight queued jobs; dev-02’s slot is busy. J288 acquired ~/mesh-vm.claim at 2026-11-07T13:37:23Z. I have not claimed the mesh or queued a J287 build. The proof is ready and will start immediately after J288 releases the claim.
The first root-proof attempt at
944db94e3did not reach any tests. The log shows the exact head and claim, then root-slot-hold waiting for a build slot; I stopped it with exit 130 before tests started. The queued helper was process group 1583820; I terminated that exact group, confirmed no J287 root process remained, and released J287’s mesh claim. The root clone cleanup trap removed the clone as designed. This was a resource wait, not a test failure.At the attached 13:54Z receipt, the mesh claim had already passed to J254 at 13:52:04Z. I am changing the proof runner so any build-slot wait or prebuild runs without the mesh claim, then the claim is acquired only after a slot is admitted and immediately before the root tests.
J287 update at 2026-11-07T14:11Z, head
944db94e3. The clean /root clone is pinned to the final head. The root test-binary prebuild is running in the foreground through root-slot-hold and is queued at compute01 PID 2207370; it holds no mesh claim and has not started compiling or running tests yet. Current status shows five active slots, nine queued jobs, and 74 GiB free. J288 owns the live-mesh claim (14:08:10Z). The attached receipts show the queue wait. After prebuild, the root test runner will wait without a claim and acquire it only after slot admission.Resource update at 2026-11-07T14:19Z on head
944db94e3. The root test-binary prebuild remains queued at compute01 PID 2207370; no tests have started and no mesh claim is held. All five slots are busy with nine queued jobs, and free disk has fallen to 38 GiB. I am not starting the cold root build this close to the 25 GiB admission floor while other builds continue. The attached receipt records the current queue, disk, and claim state.J287 resource update at 2026-11-07T14:23Z, head
944db94e3. I canceled the queued root prebuild before admission when free disk reached 30 GiB, below the expected 25–40 GiB root target footprint. I stopped exact queued helper PID 2207370, confirmed no J287 root process remained, and removed the empty target. No tests ran; the attempt log ends at root-slot-hold waiting with ROOT_PREBUILD_EXIT=130. This is a resource wait, not a test failure.The latest receipt shows compute01 at 23 GiB free (below the 25 GiB build-slot floor), all five slots busy, and J288 holding the live claim since 14:22:28Z. J287 holds no claim and has no queued build. I will retry after disk and slot admission recover.
J287 response to J330 review before further code changes, on
mesh-compat-382at944db94e3.The authority discriminator is already carried in this branch as
MeshConfigChunk.authority_epoch: Option<String>: a canonical UUID string, repeated on every chunk of a complete snapshot and supplied by the server over the existing authenticated node channel. The node persists it next to the accepted public mesh snapshot. Epoch-capable nodes negotiate support; legacy nodes keep the #380-compatible wire shape. I will use this field for the retirement transition, rather than routingNodeIdor a revision comparison, and preserve same-epoch replay/conflict checks.A supported restore must ensure the next server snapshot carries a fresh epoch. The current server epoch is stored in
mesh_state, so restoring a database backup can restore its prior UUID too. My recommendation is for the documented restore procedure to rotate that UUID after restoring the database and before nodes reconnect; the server then sends the new epoch in each full snapshot. That lets nodes irreversibly fence their old peer state before applying the restored snapshot. I’ll verify the existing restore procedure and keep the node fail-closed if a reset snapshot cannot be installed.J287 resuming after J330's #382 review. Branch

verify quickhas waited about 18 minutes at compute01 queue position 3. The current status has all five slots busy and 103 GiB free, with two older waiters ahead. I am holding the single foreground quick run; the root clone is ready and the mesh claim remains free.J287 follow-up to J330’s #382 review, before further implementation work:
I reviewed comment 83197 and the reproducer attached to 83117. No additional protocol field is needed: this branch already carries
authority_epoch: Option<String>(canonical lowercase UUID) on everyMeshConfigChunk, repeats it across the full snapshot, and persists the deployment value inmesh_state. The server sends it only after the node advertises epoch support; the value is server-selected and travels over the existing authenticated NodeChannel/NodeBridge. It does not alter #285 enrollment or admission, and it does not authorize key rotation. Pre-rotation nodes keep the legacy nonrotating shape and remain excluded from rotation under D166/D352.The documented older-backup restore step clears
mesh_state.authority_epochwhile the server is stopped; startup durably commits a fresh UUID before publishing a snapshot. Ordinary restart and in-deploy rollback preserve the epoch. Restore options and my recommendation are in the earlier comment: the restored membership is authoritative after post-backup revocations are reconciled, while the node first fences all peers from the prior epoch and never uses them as a rollback base.I’m validating the three J330 transitions and their Linux/macOS coverage on this pushed head, then will run the requested real-root proof and final gates.

install()to the real local key. The older identity-change test then increments the revision and changes NodeId while keeping that valid enrolled key, so it no longer sends an untrusted snapshot.validate_bindingintentionally allows a full, newer snapshot from the authenticated authority when it is bound to the current local key. On the reviewed pre-change fixture, the local key was absent and the same test was rejected.I will keep production trust admission unchanged and make the identity-change case carry a mismatched local key, preserving the test's intended refusal assertion. The full
verify fastis still running; its complete log will be attached after it exits.Progress on mesh-compat-382
Branch mesh-compat-382 is clean and pushed at
f0280832b8. I corrected the identity-replacement fixture: it now changes both the routing NodeId and the claimed local key, so it represents an unauthorized binding change. The previous fast gate at020db2426reported these two failing privileged tests: nft_snapshot_cannot_replace_local_node_identity and nf_tables_snapshot_cannot_replace_local_node_identity. No production admission code changed.The current origin/dev tip is
6ffe37e06, already included in this branch. Compute01 is in its announced restart/build-slot freeze, so I have not started another build or test. The WIP correction still needs focused red/green confirmation and the final foreground verify fast after compute01 is announced back. The prior fast run may be cut by the restart; I will record its final output before resubmitting.The control-plane change does not touch the packet-forwarding data path, so no perf-VM measurement is needed.

Commit6436af1skips that read only for an ordinary no-config save; peer-bearing writes and full-snapshot compare-and-set still require a readable base.The regression was red on
289d5d5(attached) and is green on6436af1: 1 passed, 0 failed (attached). The identity refusal fixture was separately corrected in7971a852.Compute01 remains under the current hold until the new #402 release notice. I have not started the final quick or fast run on compute01.

The run used dev-02's single build slot; its target directory has been removed. The branch includes current origin/dev
6ffe37e06. Compute01 is reachable, but #402 still has no new release notice for the announced restart, so the final fast gate has not started.J287 restore-epoch decision before changing epoch lifecycle, on
mesh-compat-382at6436af1fad2ff00ccb74c7f4e9b6554ea8509751:The current implementation persists a deployment epoch across ordinary restarts and documents an operator SQL reset after restoring a backup. That leaves a same-epoch case if a post-migration backup is restored without the extra SQL step.
Options:
mesh.configurechunks. This detects every restore automatically, at the cost of a full mesh snapshot reapply after each server restart. Nodes keep their D166 last-known rules while the server is unreachable; when the authenticated server reconnects with the new epoch, they fence the old peers and apply the new full snapshot.I recommend the second option as the fail-closed default, consistent with the recommendation already recorded in the #382 restore discussion. The UUID remains on the existing authenticated
NodeChannel/NodeBridgepath and is sent only after the node's authority-epoch capability probe; it grants no enrollment, identity, or key-rotation authority (#285, D166, D352). I will implement this shape and preserve same-epoch replay/conflict checks.One additional issue found while completing the process-epoch change: a fresh UUID per Store handle is not a per-server-process epoch. The server constructs a separate Mesh Store for Mesh SSH, and that path calls
config(), so one process could overwrite the persisted epoch and make peers interpret an ordinary same-server operation as authority retirement.Red evidence: on dev-02,
mesh_authority_epoch_is_shared_by_store_handles_in_one_processfailed as expected because two Store handles produced different UUIDs. Raw log:/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/evidence/red-process-shared-epoch-dev02.log.I am changing the epoch source to one process-wide value shared by all Store handles. Each server process will persist its fresh epoch before publishing its first snapshot, using the existing
authority_epochfield over the authenticated node channel. This keeps the #285 trust boundary and D166/D352 compatibility rules; it adds no new wire field or rotation fallback.J287 response to J330 comment 83197, on
mesh-compat-382at0dbfed47826f4a353da6bc487eed351627753905(currentorigin/dev6ffe37e067d8fa7b090ea83c21b84b77937f76d9is already merged).The authenticated epoch wire shape already exists: the server persists
mesh_state.authority_epoch;MeshConfigand everymesh.configureChunkcarryauthority_epoch: Option<String>, gated by the node'sauthority_epochcapability probe. It travels on the existing authenticated NodeChannel/NodeBridge path and is checked alongside the enrolled local key. No additional protocol field or signature is needed. Legacy clients that do not probe this capability remain visible as unsupported and cannot rotate keys (D166/D352); this does not weaken #285 admission.Plan: import J330's three namespace regressions first and verify the reviewed head's red receipts against comment 83197; make the authenticated epoch change the only retirement trigger; preserve same-epoch replay/conflict rules; make retirement fence runtime before persistence with no retired peers in any rollback state; then verify the lower-version same-authority transaction stays enabled. Run the Linux targeted suite on dev-02 while compute01 is in its maintenance hold, then the Mac suite under its lock, and finish the root proof plus
verify faston compute01 after the explicit release. Estimate: 3 hours of active work plus the compute01 release window.This changes control-plane snapshot handling only; packet forwarding is unchanged, so no perf-VM measurement is needed.

The final-source verify quick passed, and the Mac mesh suite passed 117/117 under /tmp/mac-bench.lock; its target was removed before releasing the lock.

Compute01 currently returns No route to host. I have not queued work or held ~/mesh-vm.claim; I will wait for the explicit post-maintenance “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice on #402. Remaining work is the real-root proof on this head and the foreground verify fast, then I will post their logs and verbatim gate output.
J287 resuming after #402 comment 86192 (compute01 back, 4 slots). Branch mesh-compat-382 is clean and pushed at
22620e22a5. The compute01 VM worktree was absent; I created a clean detached worktree at that exact head. The requested launcher check succeeded: Cargo 1.99.0. Compute01 has two free slots and 265 GiB free; dev-02's slot is busy. The live mesh claim is free.I am running the root prebuild without a mesh claim, then the real-root proof under the claim only for its isolated network tests. Afterward I will run foreground verify fast on
22620e22aand post both logs. Current origin/dev has advanced to7dc56b8e8; this run stays pinned to the explicitly requested review head22620e22a.Root prebuild attempt on head
22620e22astopped before compilation, test execution, or mesh claim acquisition: root Git rejected the claude-owned VM worktree under safe.directory. I confirmed the exact worktree head and scoped a safe.directory override to the root script's clone/fetch commands; I did not change root's global Git configuration. Both updated scripts pass bash -n and their local/remote SHA-256 hashes match. Compute01 now has three slots free, 264 GiB free, and the mesh claim is free. Retrying the root prebuild.Root proof run on
22620e22aexercised both kernel snapshot cases, all three J330 regressions, the live removed-peer reachability case, pre-rotation wire compatibility, and the server node-view test successfully. The status test selector matched zero tests (26 filtered), so I am not counting the status check or the aggregate proof as complete. The mesh claim was released and the root target/clone were cleaned. I am correcting the selector to tests::mesh_without_a_server_configuration_reports_possible_version_mismatch and will rerun the complete root proof before the final gate.The corrected real-root proof passed on head
22620e22a5. It includes the server-restore/replacement kernel cases, J330 failed-retirement, equal-revision restore and persisted-rollback regressions, the removed-peer TCP reachability check, the pre-rotation wire check, server node-view compatibility field, and the infraternal status compatibility diagnostic. Each selected test ran and passed; the mesh claim was released and the root target and clone were removed. Raw output is being attached as root-proof-22620e22a.log.I am now starting the required foreground verify fast on the same head via compute01 build-slot. Compute01 currently has all four slots busy; dev-02 is not the final-gate host for privileged mesh rows.

P2-a. An epoch change leaves the #367 rotation journal from the retired authority in place.

The retirement clears peers, routes and firewall, but not the journal.j363_epoch_change_reconciles_old_rotation_journal.log.P2-b. A probe timeout makes the coordinator send epoch-less snapshots, and the node then drops all its peers.
probe_identity, two timeouts followed by an answer to the probe without the epoch yieldauthority_epoch=false. The existing testprobe_timeouts_never_read_as_an_older_binaryasserts exactly this. Rotation support stays "unknown" in this case; epoch support becomes "unsupported". The coordinator then sends epoch-less chunks.InvalidData.run()probes identity again only onnotices.changed(), so the node stays down until it reconnects. This is most likely right after a server restart, when every node probes at once.j363b_epochless_snapshot_after_epoch_bound_drops_mesh.log,probe.log.P2-c. Every server restart now briefly cuts the mesh on every node, without a benchmark.

stage()now accepts any lower-version full snapshot within the same epoch; it droppedchunk.version < v. With per-process epochs, a lower revision within one epoch is never legitimate, so this only weakens the replay and reorder fence. The plan (83277) said those checks "stay unchanged". I found no reorder path in the coordinator, which sends to each node in order.Running, peers: 0. The status "Waiting" check only matchesconfig:null. Nodes without epoch support are not shown as restore-unsafe anywhere; the API only carrieskey_rotation_supported. The plan said they would be shown as unsupported.deploy.md: it says a restore needs no manual step. But the restored database re-authorizes nodes that were removed after the backup was taken, and no epoch can fix that. The doc should tell operators to remove those nodes again.The checklist
mesh_stateinside the writer transaction before anything is published. It is sent only inmesh.configureover the authenticated NodeChannel/NodeBridge. The node also requireschunk.local_keyto equal its enrolled key before it retires anything. The epoch carries no signature: anything that could sendmesh.configurecould already set peers, so it adds no new trust path (#285). Epochs have no order, so replaying an old one only triggers another retirement, which fails safe. After a restore the process restarts, so the epoch moves. Peers that the restored database itself authorizes do come back (see P3).Noneon both sides, legacy behaviour except the lower-revision acceptance (P3).Evidence and cleanup

origin/dev5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223(includes #367f8fe487fe) intomesh-compat-382. Merge commit:7ae32516f3bb11faf23608441b146f129712e317. It preserves the branch's authenticated epoch state and the #367 rotation changes on Linux and macOS, using J363b's resolution forGotatunProofand the Mac worker fixtures.The Linux mesh library tests compiled on dev-02 (
cargo test --locked --package infraternal-plugin-mesh --lib --no-run, exit 0). The Mac mesh library suite passed on the Mac VM: 61 passed, 0 failed, 0 ignored, Cargo 1.99.1; target removed under/tmp/mac-bench.lock. The Nix launcher could not evaluate the linked shallow worktree (revCountunavailable), so the successful Mac suite used the installed Cargo directly.Full Linux build and Mac suite logs are attached. Next: J363b's SIGKILL regression, red-first.
Evidence:
J287 continuation on J363b review.
mesh-compat-382is at7ae32516f3bb11faf23608441b146f129712e317, with currentorigin/dev(5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223, including #367) as an ancestor. The worktree is clean before the new regression work. The review's own root receipts identify the expected red cases: SIGKILL after fence/before persistence restores epoch A peers; an epoch change retains the old #367 rotation journal; and an epoch-bound node loses its peers after an epoch-less snapshot.I am starting with the SIGKILL regression and will make retirement durable before fencing on Linux and macOS. Remaining slices are the old-journal cleanup, timeout-as-UNKNOWN/no epoch-less downgrade, no-cut full snapshot replacement (per kayg's decision), then the status/API/UI/deploy visibility changes. Each slice will be a red-first atomic commit. The earlier Mac run on this merge was only 61 tests, so I will run the full review suite after the changes. The P2-c behavior is control-plane staging/runtime configuration; I will still run the requested perf-VM restart A/B and attach the packet-loss/handshake receipt on #260.
J287 finding: the J363 SIGKILL regression is red on the repaired current-dev merge. In a real-root clone on compute01 with the kernel test in
unshare -n, the child reached the runtime fence withFENCED_PEERS=0, but the durable file still had epoch A and one peer; after SIGKILL, restore installed one peer from epoch A. The assertion failed atj363_kill_between_fence_and_persist, as expected.The merge repair is pushed at
fe50dedcc.cargo fmt --checkexited 0, andcargo test --locked -j4 -p infraternal-plugin-mesh --features agent,server --lib --no-runexited 0 in the/rootclone. The missing current-dev GotaTun recovery tests and four rotation-binding tests are restored. Receipts are attached to comment 86399:j363-retirement-red-after-merge.logandlinux-merge-repair-build-final.log.Next I am making retirement intent durable before the Linux and Mac runtime fence, then rerunning the same kill boundary as the green proof.
J287 resuming the J363b fix round on
mesh-compat-382atfe50dedcc0b987ea41bf9ab44f2384b54cfa0c62. Fetchedorigin/devat5d34c133a9008ee69939e6c0c0a735ada410a223; it is already an ancestor through merge7ae32516f3bb11faf23608441b146f129712e317, so no extra merge is needed. The worktree is clean.Plan: use J363b's three Linux reproducers red-first; make retirement persistence precede runtime fencing on Linux/macOS; retire old-epoch rotation state; preserve epoch support as unknown on probe timeout and block epoch downgrade; stage complete snapshots before runtime replacement, retaining the same-epoch revision fence and valid lower-version replacement transaction; add refused-state and restore-unsafe visibility plus the deploy restore warning. Each fix will be an atomic commit, pushed to this branch.
Validation:
verify quickon dev-02, real-root reproducers andverify faston compute01, Mac mesh suite under the Mac lock, plus the requested perf-VM restart A/B under the perf lock. I will post evidence as the slices finish. Estimated active implementation/validation time: about 6 hours, subject to VM queue time.J287 P2-a red/green evidence, branch
mesh-compat-382at43778d1f8.The real-root test on compute01 in
unshare -nreproduced the old authority's sequence-11 journal on both Kernel and GotaTun. Before the fix, the journal remained and the new server's sequence-1prepare_rotationreturnedWouldBlock. After the fix, both engines reportRETAINED_OLD_JOURNAL=falseand accept sequence 1. The active key and interface marker remain in place. The Linux evidence files are/root/j287-evidence/j363-journal-red.logand/root/j287-evidence/j363-journal-green.logon compute01.I added the equivalent macOS node regression. Its red run is waiting behind J288 for
/tmp/mac-bench.lock; the Mac VM has 20 GiB free. The P2-a code is pushed in43778d1f8. Next I am addressing the timed-out identity probe and epoch downgrade path.J287 P2-b is pushed at
a92da806d. Red evidence: on the pre-fix code, timed_out_epoch_probe_never_sends_epochless_config_and_reprobes failed because the coordinator sent an epoch-less snapshot after the ambiguous probe; /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/p2b-identity-timeout-red.log on dev-02. Green: the coordinator test group passed 32/32, including the timeout then full-probe retry; /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/p2b-coordinator-tests-green.log. The coordinator now keeps epoch support UNKNOWN and withholds snapshots until a full probe proves support or explicit refusal.J287 P2-c RED on macOS before the staged-replacement fix: authority_replacement_waits_for_complete_snapshot_before_worker_replacement failed after the first chunk because the node had already persisted epoch B as a peer-free deny config and sent Worker::Retire. This is the requested no-cut failure. Log: /Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/p2c-mac-stage-red.log on the Mac VM (0 passed, 1 failed, exit 101). The run held /tmp/mac-bench.lock and removed the worktree target before release.
Continuing
mesh-compat-382from baseorigin/dev5d34c133a. The merge of current dev is already an ancestor of the pushed branch heada92da806d; P2-c replacement staging and its crash regression are local and uncommitted. Linux root namespace evidence from the prior run is under/root/j287-evidence/on compute01. The Mac suite log is/Users/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/p2c-mac-green.log: 125 passed, 2 failed, 6 ignored. One failure asserts the old worker apply-log behavior after a persistence failure; I’m checking it against the new fail-closed worker-stop path. The other is the ambiguous epoch-probe retry test; I’ll reproduce it alone and check whether unrelated event wakes can restart its relative timer. Next: resolve these, complete P2-c, then the four P3 items, the perf A/B, required proofs and gates.P2-b finding/evidence: the Mac full mesh suite reproduced

Green with the retry stored as a fixed Tokio deadline:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j287/p2b-probe-noise-green.log(1 passed in 5.06 s; presence noise remained active). The existing safety assertions still check that no epoch-less config is sent. I’m rerunning the Mac suite and its ignored authority-replacement crash test under the Mac lock; the previous target was removed before lock release.Correction: the prior Mac rerun omitted the
agentfeature. It ran only the default server-side mesh library tests (63 pass) and the crash-test filter selected zero tests; that is not macOS proof.macos_nodeis gated onagent, so I’m rerunning the suite and SIGKILL reproducer with--features agentunder/tmp/mac-bench.lock. The prior target was removed before the lock was released.Remaining work plan (estimate 2–4 hours, depending on the Mac/perf lock queues):
verify quick, final real-root proofs,verify fast, and post evidence plus final head to #382/#380.P2-b’s fixed-deadline retry is pushed as

Merged the fetched
origin/devtipabad8c6c0intomesh-compat-382and pushed merge commite863ba070. Conflict resolution retains authenticated authority epochs, the currentmesh-dnsnegotiation, and #367 rotation support. The scratch resolution's GotaTun proof change and Mac worker fixture updates are present.Plan: (1) build Linux and macOS to validate the merge, (2) add/run the SIGKILL retirement regression red-first and persist the peer-free checkpoint before fencing, (3) clear old rotation journals on epoch changes and finish the fail-closed epoch probe behavior, (4) complete status/restore-safety/deploy warning changes, (5) measure same-content server restart on the perf VM under its lock, then run the requested quick, fast, real-root and Mac proofs and post receipts.
Estimate: roughly 5–7 hours of active work plus build-slot and perf-lock waits. Logs will be kept under

mesh-compat-382is ate0684c9, cleanly merged with currentorigin/dev7c8bd22. No merge conflicts remained; the #367 GotatunProof and Mac fixture resolution from the prior integration are already in the branch history. Test synchronization commit4cc0232is pushed. The J363b Linux/macOS retirement, journal, probe, replacement and P3 changes are present in separate commits; I am validating the current head now. Dev-02 has an active build-slot holder; compute01 has all four slots occupied and one waiter, so I have queued no Linux work. The Mac library suite and authority-replacement SIGKILL proof will run under the Mac lock; final Linux gates and root proofs follow when slots open.J287 continuation: fetched origin/dev at

The branch already contains the J363b fixes through the current Mac-focused retry. There is one uncommitted Mac test-fixture adjustment for the Store-backed lower-revision replacement case; I will preserve it as WIP, then merge current dev before more code changes.Plan: merge

The local Mac fixture adjustment was preserved and pushed as WIP844df1bb6before the merge. The merge only touched the privileged-gate scripts; the mesh source had no new conflicts.The previous Mac suite log (
/Users/claude/j287-evidence/mac-mesh-271eb379a.log) records two failures: the lower-revision replacement test lacked its persisted Store fixture, and the refused-delta recovery test timed out waiting for the expected config. I added the Store-backed fixture as WIP and am checking the second test's synchronization before the full Mac run. Next I will verify the current merge on Linux and Mac, then run the requested root proofs, perf measurement, and gates.J287 finding: the current Mac red
refused_delta_recovers_immediately_and_closed_channel_retires_workerstops at the initial baseline wait, before the policy change (current-red-refused-delta.logon the Mac VM). Root cause is test setup: after the worker had enrolled the old node withauthority_epoch_supported = Some(false), the test called the legacyStore::attach, which rewrote that capability toNoneand advanced the config revision without publishing aMeshServicechange. The test then waited for a snapshot version that was never sent. I replaced the synthetic re-attach withStore::node_for_host, which reads the worker's existing binding without changing state (WIP commit71427e0e7). I will verify this together with the post-merge quick run on dev-02.Mac build finding on

The worktree is clean.I am validating this head now: Linux
verify quickon dev-02, the real-root mesh proofs andverify faston compute01, the full Mac mesh library suite under/tmp/mac-bench.lock, and the announced perf-VM same-content restart A/B.

mesh-compat-382@f0e26e468bde4f4e06502b7b378ba03c8f9cbd84(currentorigin/devmerged and branch pushed): final-headverify quickpassed on dev-02.The compute01 root proof passed the persist-before-fence SIGKILL test, rotation-journal retirement for both engines, identical-peer restart replacement, and lower-revision restore. The next rejection reproducer reached
Device::counters()after an invalid new-authority snapshot and got LinuxENODEV; the test had assumed an empty device map. I changed only that assertion to count ENODEV as zero peers while propagating other errors. Its focused root rerun is queued behind current compute01 work. The first proof released~/mesh-vm.claimand removed its target.On Mac at the same head, the full agent suite passed (
135 passed; 0 failed; 6 ignored). The server command selected zero tests due to an over-specific filter, and the root crash test did not start because Nix refused the claude-owned checkout. Neither is counted; I am rerunning the server suite and root test with a root-owned checkout under the Mac lock, then deleting the target before release.J287 progress at

The root checkout remains pinned to this head, and theENODEVtest assertion correction is present. The exact root Nix launcher check passed (cargo 1.99.1).I adjusted the proof runner to build test binaries before taking

The slots file changed at 22:32 UTC and the launcher script at 22:34 UTC, after these waiters started. I have not canceled or requeued the existing waiter; it remains foreground-watched.
Queue follow-up (23:00 UTC): dev-02 still has slot 1 occupied by PID 421828 (over 2 hours elapsed), slots 2–3 free, and J287 PID 471771 next in FIFO after it. The quick gate has not started. I am retaining the original foreground waiter.
Queue follow-up (23:23 UTC): the original dev-02 quick waiter is now at the FIFO head but remains blocked by PID 421828 in slot 1 (elapsed 2h47). Status still shows slots 2–3 free. J287 PID 471771 has waited 2h07; its log has not advanced beyond the queue line. I have not requeued or started another job.
Per kayg’s instruction, PID 471771 was intentionally ended while still queued; it acquired no slot and ran no tests (
VERIFY_QUICK_EXIT=143is not a test failure). The updated dev-02 launcher check passed withnix develop /home/claude/worktrees/j287-mesh-compat-382 -c cargo --version(cargo 1.99.1), and that worktree is at final headab89e8acca.

2b9ed15f1(P2-b) changed the probe condition fromrefresh_identity || binding.is_none()torefresh_identity. Suppose the worker handles a node's removal before the owner re-enrolls it. Its attach is then refused (J284 P3-a). The re-enrollment revision wakes the worker, but nothing probes again, so the node stays detached until it reconnects.Fix: a committed revision probes an unbound worker again. The exception is an ambiguous probe waiting for its fixed deadline, so P2-b's guarantee holds.

P2: an MTU-only authority replacement on macOS still destroys the unchanged peers' sessions.
crates/plugins/mesh/src/macos_node.rs:1564–1596,1650,1806–1827at the reviewed SHA.replace_authorityskips its fast path whenever either budget differs, then callsapply_with_rollback(..., false). That callsreplace_peers, which suspends the device, clears all peers, recreates them, and resumes. The unchanged peers therefore lose their established WireGuard session state. Linux's new MTU-only path preserves peers; the Mac path does not./tmp/mac-bench.lock: the attached focused test uses the real Node, utun and GotaTun worker, unique10.253.47.*/fd47::*addresses, a private key file and a distinct resolver suffix. After installing one peer it submits the unchanged peer view with epoch B and a 16-byte lower route budget through the productionReplaceAuthorityworker command. A test-only counter atreplace_peersreports: This is a peer-recreation proof, not a measured packet-loss or latency result. It establishes that the no-session-reset path is still missing for an MTU-only refresh.reviewer-mac.log,mac-review-probe.patchin the attached bundle. The first test-runner attempt failed before executing tests due to cross-account file permissions;reviewer-mac.logis the corrected run, and contains the actual result above.P3: the generated authority-field documentation still describes the removed refusal behavior.
crates/plugins/mesh/src/dataplane.rs:115–119says that after an epoch, an epoch-less replacement “must retire the old peers and be refused”. Round 3 now intentionally accepts that replacement. Update the comment to explain the authenticated, key-bound full-snapshot transition. This is nonblocking on its own.Requested checks
Security core: no new untrusted-sender/replay blocker found.
mesh.configureis a machine-onlyCONTROL_ACTIONSentry, excluded from the public descriptor andRegistry::call_public. Remote control runs over the enrolled server's verified TLS/QUIC connection; QUIC early data is disabled. Linux requires the current local key before an epoch transition, including Some→None; the Mac checks that key on every chunk. New authorities need a complete contiguous full snapshot, with per-chunk identity, epoch and revision consistency. The coordinator sends and awaits chunks serially.Precisely what “replay” means here: if the trusted server deliberately resends an old complete snapshot bound to the node's still-current local key, yes, it can restore a revoked remote peer or an old remote peer key. This branch intentionally accepts lower stored revisions too. Epochs are not an anti-rollback security credential. That sender already has authority to publish arbitrary peer policy, and D295 explicitly restores the old database and loses changes from the update window. A captured network record does not become a fresh authenticated TLS control call. An old snapshot bound to an obsolete local key is refused after the local key rotates. Retirement settles the active local rotation before discarding the old authority's journal, rather than selecting an old private key from a snapshot.
Sidecar: ordered crash-safe persistence, not an atomic two-file transaction. Each normal file replacement uses temporary write, file fsync, rename and parent-directory fsync. Linux holds its directory lock across both writes. The peer-free deny snapshot goes first, then authority metadata. A stop between those writes cannot resurrect the predecessor's peer bytes; a stale reset marker over a completed peer-bearing snapshot is ignored. A missing/stale/malformed epoch may force another full-authority transition. The Mac uses the same split/merge rules. The in-place fallback is explicitly a last-resort fail-closed write, not an atomic replacement. Independent Linux SIGKILL proof restored 0 peers, with epoch B and reset marker persisted; independent real Mac SIGKILL recovery passed.
#381 / Linux MTU: resolved.
19716a3d7is an ancestor of the reviewed head. The Linux same-content path raises the interface to max(old,new), rewrites existing routes through the shared route-state lock, and then settles the interface MTU. It does not remove/re-add peers. Independent J411 reproducers passed: a removed peer's late callback did not recreate its route; endpoint move and direct fallback both retained MTU 1200 after a relay budget of 1392. An update failure deliberately falls back to full fail-closed replacement; no zero-loss claim applies to that failure path. The remaining Mac case is the P2 above.Mac persistence and staging: independent focused suite 37 passed, 0 failed, 7 ignored, plus the explicitly run ignored authority SIGKILL test 1 passed. The extra ignored case is my review probe, which was explicitly run and failed as reported. The author's full Mac suite receipt is 148 passed, 0 failed, 6 ignored; that suite alone did not exercise this MTU-only peer-recreation case.
Old release / D295: J418's permanent refusal and public-file parse break are fixed. The new metadata is stripped from
mesh-public.json; the old release ignoresmesh-authority.json. Independent strict-schema persistence tests and epoch-less adoption passed. I inspected the author's retained throwaway-server C1–C4 raw proof, not the hosted servers: previous-release→branch→previous-release+pre-switch DB→branch. It recordsPREV_PARSE s: PASS,PREV_PARSE n2: PASS, rollback recovery 2 s, node/server pings 3/3, and the rolled-back server interface UP. This live rollout/rollback was the author's run, not a new J472 live server run. No hosted coordinator was assumed or touched.Evidence and checks

verify quickorverify fast. I read the author's exact-head full-gate log. Its Rust table and exit marker, verbatim:No repository code changed; a new author gate is not applicable to this review. The passing author gate does not cover the new failing MTU-only continuity case.
Cleanup
All my Linux/Mac commands finished. Root scratch binaries and both target directories were removed; the Mac target was removed before the test lock was released. The temporary Mac routes, resolver and utun were removed; interface/route inspection matched the pre-test list. No shared mesh claim, hosted server, production state, login keychain or TCC data was touched. Issue remains open.
Final verdict: REQUEST CHANGES, P2 Mac MTU-only session recreation; P3 stale authority documentation. Reviewed head:
63954eec005240213846fc2ab2550a64724abc69.J287e round 4 started on mesh-compat-382, base
63954eec00. Plan (about 2 hours, excluding shared-slot waits): reproduce J472 P2 red on the locked Mac; update only route/interface MTUs for identical peer content and prove no peer rebuild plus traffic continuity; correct P3 authority docs; merge current origin/dev; run quick then verify fast on compute01 and the Mac mesh suite; push branch only and attach receipts. Simpler design: use the existing route lock and MTU update path rather than replacing unchanged peers. No merge to dev or deployment.J287e P2 red/green: on the real Mac under lockf -k /tmp/mac-bench.lock, J472’s original reproducer failed as expected: PEER_REBUILDS=1 (red.log). The repaired path passed the strengthened encrypted-traffic regression: MTU_TRAFFIC_SENT=200 RECEIVED=200 LOST=0; J472_MTU_APPLY_OK=true PEERS=1 PEER_REBUILDS=0; installed MTU_INTERFACE=16288, IPv4/IPv6 ROUTE_MTUS=16288 (green-metrics.log). Mac route mutation is exclusively owned by the serialized worker; its &mut RuntimeState prevents apply/removal/stop from interleaving, so no separate mutex is needed. Both real kernel metrics were verified after forcing changed route and interface budgets.

1a68ff2942. compute01 acquired its slot after the queue; verify quick has passed fmt, the tooling/documentation rows and workspace clippy, and is building/running the changed-package unit tests.

1a68ff294: quick passed every row (including 937 unit tests passed, 50 ignored, zero failures), but fast stopped immediately at the repository artifact-size guard: macos_node.rs 204318 bytes, limit 200000. Raw receipt: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/J287e/evidence/gates-at-1a68ff294.log. Repair: move only the new real-Mac regression and its echo fixture into a child test module, leaving production behavior unchanged. macos_node.rs becomes 194674 bytes; the new test module is 9178 bytes before formatting. Rebuilding/rerunning the Mac proof and suite, then quick for the test-module relocation against the already-green pre-check head, followed by full fast on compute01.J287e relocation follow-up:
49bdb5986moved the fixture below the file-size guard, but its Mac rebuild caught a missing explicit UdpTransportFactory import in the new child module. This is test-only; the original in-place fixture had inherited the trait from its parent. Added the explicit import locally and on the Mac. The queued compute01 run for49bdb5986was canceled before taking a slot; PID 580546 has exited. The corrected Mac run (PID 7297, ~/j287e-evidence/relocated-run.sh) is waiting for /tmp/mac-bench.lock. The failed compile receipt is ~/j287e-evidence/relocated-build-import-error.log; no target was retained after that failure. No further production-code change is needed.J287e checkpoint: pushed head

The child-test import correction was folded into97efcc40a, replacing the incomplete test-relocation commit with a lease-protected push. Production MTU/session behavior is unchanged from the passing real-Mac proof.Pending final validation only: compute01 PID 904656, queued at position 3, log ~/.cache/codex-scratch/J287e/evidence/gates-final3.log, target ~/worktrees/J287e/target.

Source SHA-256 manifests match the control checkout (Mac runtime, test module, Cargo.lock, mesh manifest, DECISIONS.md).The added ignored test was explicitly run and passed separately (1 passed). Mac target and resolver fixture removed; file lock released. Raw receipts: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/J287e/evidence/mac-final-{continuity,suite,build}-relocated.log, mac-final-run.{log,sh}, and source SHA-256 manifests.
