Ben Duncan 7163f7d62d feat(oci): run Spinifex on Oracle Cloud, and fix the public-address and NAT gateway lifecycle (#1108)
* feat: ship uninstall-spx.sh and fix the OCI bring-up path

Adds scripts/uninstall-spx.sh, the inverse of setup.sh: it removes the
software where node-reset.sh clears state and leaves the node installed. An
operator who installed with `curl ... | bash` had no teardown path at all.
State teardown is delegated to node-reset.sh rather than reimplemented, and
setup.sh now ships both to /usr/local/share/spinifex so they are reachable
without a checkout.

It refuses on a multi-node cluster and --yes does not override that: a flag
meaning "don't ask me" must not also mean "ignore a safety property".
/var/lib/spinifex and every apt package are kept unless asked for, and both
opt-ins confirm separately even under --yes.

Proved by a full uninstall/reinstall round trip on dev-oci, which found two
bugs neither prod nor dev-prod can reach, because both are ISO-installed:

node-reset.sh exited 2, silently, at its last step and after the wipe.
setup.sh creates the spinifex *group* and the spinifex-* service users but
never a *user* named spinifex, so `getent passwd spinifex` exits 2 and
pipefail carried it into set -e.

The uninstaller broke openvswitch-switch on its first run by removing the
socket-perms helper while leaving the drop-in referencing it, failing the
unit at step EXEC with status 203. Fixed on both sides: the uninstaller
removes drop-ins it wrote into other units' namespaces and restarts anything
it failed, and setup-ovn.sh writes ExecStartPost=- so a missing helper can
never stop another package's daemon.

setup-ovn.sh also learns the shape OCI needs: when --wan-bridge names a Linux
bridge it links it to OVS with a veth pair instead of enslaving the NIC, so
the VNIC keeps its MAC identity and netplan keeps owning the addresses. It
now fails on OVS datapath errors instead of reporting success, and the
--management demotion guard keys on /etc/default/ovn-central rather than on
database presence, which the ovn-central package creates on every node.

Tests: scripts/uninstall-spx_test.sh, wired into make test-build-scripts
along with shellcheck over the four scripts that ship to every node.

* feat: allocate external IPs from the Oracle Cloud API

An OCI VNIC drops any packet whose source is not a registered private IP
object on it, so an external pool cannot be range math there — the address
has to be created through the provider before it exists at all. Add
source = "oci" and the allocator behind it.

One allocation is two OCI objects: a secondary private IP that rides the
wire, and a RESERVED public IP attached to it that the internet reaches.
Allocate returns the public address because that is what AWS semantics are
about, and records the pair so the host plumbing and release path can find
the private half.

The OCI objects are created before the binding is written, and dropped
after it on release — both orders chosen so a crash leaves a discoverable
leak rather than a record that lies. Reconcile squares the two on startup
and is required, not optional: a leaked reserved public IP bills and holds
one of the 50 per-region slots with nothing referencing it. It never
touches an object without our display-name prefix, because the reference
host carries operator-created secondaries on the same VNIC.

Resolve the VNIC from an interface name by MAC through IMDS rather than by
Oracle's VNIC ordering, which is not a documented contract.

Generalise ExternalIPAM.EnableDHCP into InstallAllocator so the OCI wiring
is not a second single-purpose installer.

* fix: refuse source = "oci" outside routed mode, and cover the SDK path

An OCI VNIC accepts exactly one MAC, its own, and delivers every inbound
frame to it regardless of which of its addresses the packet is for.
Measured on the reference host: an internet source reaches 10.200.0.144 as
router-MAC to VNIC-MAC, the public address never appears on the wire at
all, and every off-subnet destination resolves to the same next hop.

Pool mode puts a per-VPC gateway LRP MAC and a per-rule external NAT MAC on
the uplink and ARPs for the address, which policy.go:50 justifies with "the
Linux bridge learns the per-rule external MAC on the veth port like any
other MAC". An OCI VNIC does not learn MACs; it accepts one. So a pool-mode
guest's egress is dropped and its ingress never reaches OVN. Routed mode
keeps the address on the host, which already wears the VNIC's MAC.

Pinning every LRP to that MAC does not rescue pool mode: they share one
external logical switch and OVN resolves inbound frames by an L2 lookup on
it, so duplicate MACs work for one VPC and silently misroute past that.

The refusal names the MAC reason, because a refusal that only says "use nat
mode" reads as arbitrary and gets worked around.

Also test the SDK request shapes against a local endpoint. Two of them are
wrong in ways reading does not catch: pagination stopping early reports a
partial VNIC to reconcile, which then drops live bindings, and a nil
privateIpId on detach is omitted from the body entirely, so OCI reads the
update as a no-op, returns 200, and leaves the address attached and billing.

* fix: install host firewall rules where a distro's catch-all reject cannot precede them

Oracle's Ubuntu cloud image ships a catch-all REJECT in both INPUT and FORWARD.
Two Spinifex datapaths were silently dead behind it on any such host.

EnsureNATEgressRules probed with -C and appended with -A, so its ACCEPT rules
landed after the REJECT and never matched: 24113 packets on the reject, 0 on
both accepts, and guests had no egress. The comment named the case it did not
handle, anticipating a FORWARD policy of DROP — which an append does survive —
rather than an explicit REJECT rule, which it cannot. Insert at the head, and
drain existing copies first, because a rule an earlier build appended still
satisfies -C and would otherwise stay stranded across an upgrade.

Nothing opened INPUT for the IMDS endpoints at all. The responder binds .254
and .253 per instance on the ime- devices, so guest requests are locally
delivered and meet INPUT. Requests arrived and no reply ever left; cloud-init
spent 490s timing out and reported the endpoint as disabled. With one wildcarded
accept the same image boots in 18.6s and finds its datasource.

The natuplink e2e check had the same blind spot the code did, asserting -C and
therefore presence but never position. It now asserts the accepts precede the
first reject.

* feat: OCI address pairs, and an IMDS remap so the host keeps its own metadata

An OCI external address is two objects, not one: a RESERVED public IP that
OCI 1:1-NATs upstream and never puts on the wire, and a secondary private IP
on the VNIC that the wire actually carries. Every AWS-facing record holds the
public half; every datapath object must hold the private one.

The mapping goes in policy.natManager and nowhere else. AddEIP, DeleteEIP,
PruneOrphanEIPs and the HostEIPBinder all converge there, and reconcile
rebuilds the rule set from AWS-facing intent on every pass — so a correctly
mapped rule installed further upstream is swept on the next reconcile and
replaced with one matching an address that never arrives. The seam is a
DatapathResolver defaulting to identity, so every non-OCI deployment is
unchanged. A resolve failure is fatal: falling back to the public address
would install a rule that reads correctly in ovn-nbctl and blackholes.

ocinet.Lookup is the OCI side — read-only, KV-backed, no client and no
credentials, because vpcd is a different process from the daemon that owns
the allocator and the bindings record is all either would consult.

Two live bugs the in-memory test store was hiding, both found by making the
fake report ErrNotFound the way the real store does:

  - KVStore.Mutate could not create, so every pool failed its own first
    allocation after OCI had already created and billed the pair.
  - Reconcile treated a missing record as a failure, aborting the one pass
    that exists to find an object created before its binding was written.

Guest IMDS must stay on 169.254.169.254, which is also where a cloud host's
own metadata service lives — the first guest launch made it a local address
and took the host's metadata and DNS with it. The datapath is OpenFlow
steered, so the guest-facing addresses stay put and only the host-side
endpoint address moves, with a PREROUTING DNAT on ime-+ translating and
conntrack un-NATing the reply. Off by default; identity when unset.

The IMDS firewall rules move to vpcd. They are wildcarded over every
endpoint rather than per-launch work, and spinifex-daemon holds no iptables
grant and no CAP_NET_ADMIN by design, so attempting them aborted every
launch.

* fix: name the real constructor in the IMDS bind-address error, and mark the NAT datapath test in-package

The error string pointed at DefaultHostBindAddrs, which does not exist — a
caller following it would have looked for a symbol that was never written.

nat_datapath_test.go reuses nat_test.go's in-package fixtures, so it carries
the //test:in-package marker the package check asks for.

* docs: index what each e2e suite proves

Written because a datapath comment was read as an end-to-end behavioural claim
and the suite that already answered it was found only after the wrong answer
had been given. TestVPCEgressPaths/NATBaseline is the authority on private
subnet egress, and nothing pointed at it.

* fix: source-route an EIP's reply out the VNIC that holds it

An EIP's reply carries the EIP as its source. On a host that pins its
uplink with a policy rule, the reply took the main table instead and left
by the wrong interface — which a cloud VNIC drops, because the address is
registered on a different one. Ingress reached the guest and nothing came
back.

Every bind now mirrors the uplink's rule onto the EIP. The selector is the
rule rather than the interface: both OCI VNICs sit in one subnet, so "the
interface owning the EIP's subnet" names two of them, and two candidate
rules is a refusal rather than a guess. A host with no source routing gets
no rule and no change.

* docs: name the setup-ovn recipe routed mode actually needs on OCI

The OCI guide told operators to run `--wan-bridge=br-wan`, which is
mutually exclusive with `--nat-uplink` and deletes the spx-nat transit
veth routed mode runs on. The node then refuses to bring the uplink up,
with an error naming the flag the guide should have used.

Several messages also claimed routed mode is outbound-only with no
public IPs. That stopped being true when the routed EIP path landed, and
it reads as "what you are about to do cannot work" during the one init
the OCI path documents.

* feat: let routed NAT form a multi-node cluster, and carry every pool through formation

Lifts the --nodes >= 2 refusal on --external-mode=nat. The refusal carried no
technical justification -- it was a v1 scope decision -- but routed NAT is the
only datapath a cloud VNIC can carry, so "routed NAT is single-node" had become
"Spinifex on a cloud host is single-node".

It is not fixed by lifting it. Measured on three OCI nodes: the cluster forms,
all chassis register and guest-to-guest traffic runs at 7.1-7.7 Gbit/s, but
every node claims every EIP, nodes disagree on the VPC's gateway LRP, and only
the gateway chassis reaches its own guests. init now says so on stderr rather
than refusing, because the refusal made the defects unreachable and therefore
unfixable. Distributing the EIP datapath is the actual fix.

Lifting it exposed a second defect that stops formation outright. NetworkConfig
held nine flattened Pool* scalars and the init node set PoolName = "wan"
unconditionally; routed NAT renders two pools and the one that matters --
nat-transit, carrying the gateway-LRP range -- was dropped. Each joiner got a
single pool named "wan" holding the transit gateway and the detected WAN prefix,
and the leader re-rendered its own config from the same struct, so all three
nodes were wrong. Pools is now []admin.PoolData in render order, and PoolData
gains json tags because it is on the wire now rather than a template input.

* feat(install-node): add --external-mode so a cluster can be formed in routed NAT

install-node.sh could not express routed NAT at all. It required
--external-pool/--external-gateway/--external-prefix-len and passed
--external-mode=pool to every spx admin init unconditionally, so the only
supported way to form a routed-NAT cluster was by hand.

--external-mode nat refuses the three pool flags rather than ignoring them, and
threads --nat-uplink into setup-ovn.sh -- without it the WAN interface check
rejects a physical NIC during formation, which is correct in pool mode and
wrong in routed mode, where nothing is bridged.

* fix(ocinet): stop each node deleting its peers' OCI addresses on startup

Reconcile compares the binding record against the private IPs on one VNIC. The
record is one key per pool and therefore cluster-wide, so on more than one node
every peer's binding looks exactly like a binding whose objects OCI has lost.
Each node dropped them, and direction 1 on the owning node then collected the
now-unclaimed objects as leaks -- deleting the reserved public IP and private IP
of a running instance.

Observed on the three-node OCI cluster: node2's startup pass logged "collected a
leaked address" for an address it had allocated ten minutes earlier and "dropped
a stale binding" for one living on node3's VNIC.

The damage did not stop at the OCI objects. With the binding gone,
Lookup.DatapathIP returns the public address unchanged, so the OVN
dnat_and_snat row carries the public address instead of the private half. Guest
egress then leaves the VNIC sourced from a reserved public IP, which OCI drops
because it enforces the registered source per VNIC -- and EnsureEIPSourceRoute
no-ops too, since a public address shares no subnet with any host address. One
destroyed binding takes out both directions.

Binding.VNICID already exists for exactly this ("how a node that comes back from
the dead tells mine from moved on without me") and Reconcile never consulted it.
A binding is now only dropped when it names this node's VNIC; one naming no VNIC
cannot be attributed and is left alone rather than guessed at.

* fix(host): find the EIP's source-routing table when the uplink is held as a /32

uplinkSourceRuleFor identified the interface owning an EIP's subnet by finding
a host address configured with a prefix that contains it. On OCI both VNICs sit
in one subnet, so br-wan has to hold its address as a /32 -- a /23 there puts
the subnet's on-link route in the main table at metric 0 and takes the whole
subnet off the primary VNIC. A /32 contains nothing but itself, so no rule was
ever found, no source rule was installed, and the reply left by the primary
VNIC where OCI dropped it for carrying an unregistered source.

The address is not the only record of who owns the subnet. The rule names a
table, and that table holds the on-link route. Consulted as a fallback, only
when the address prefixes matched nobody, so a host that already resolved this
the direct way keeps its existing answer -- prod and dev-prod are unaffected.

Only scope-link routes count. A default route covers every address and would
make every source-routing table an equally good answer.

* docs(oci): correct the multi-node story and name the oci_vnic_id constraint

The nat-mode warning said EIPs and default egress were both broken on more
than one node. Default egress is fine: delete a guest's dnat_and_snat row and
it reaches 1.1.1.1 in 2.3 ms from a guest on any of three nodes. Only the
public-IP path was broken, and the three defects behind it are now fixed.

What remains is not a bug but the shape of the datapath: routed NAT centralises
the EIP path on the VPC's gateway chassis, ext-shared is a localnet so the other
nodes cannot reach it, and OCI drops any frame whose source is not registered on
the VNIC it leaves by. So every node's pool must pin oci_vnic_id to the gateway
chassis's VNIC rather than resolving its own. Say so in §5.3, where an operator
writing the pool will read it, and in §9, where the cost is that a gateway
change kills every public IP until the pools are repointed.

The single-node cap itself is gone from the doc: a three-node cluster has been
formed and measured, and the warning proceeds rather than refusing.

* feat(nat): distribute the routed-NAT EIP path so it works on more than one node

Routed NAT processed every EIP on the VPC's gateway chassis, and ext-shared is
a localnet, so the transit segment a /32 route pointed into existed only on
that one node. Measured on three nodes: all three claimed all three EIPs, the
nodes disagreed on the gateway LRP, and only guests on the gateway chassis were
reachable.

The mechanism to fix it is not new. Pool mode already distributes EIPs by
putting external_mac and logical_port on the dnat_and_snat row and letting
OVN's ARP responder answer for the external IP on the external segment. Routed
mode has an external segment too, the spx-nat veth pair, and it being per node
is the distribution: only the node running the instance can answer ARP on it.

So a routed rule is now distributed on the same terms as a pool one, and its
host route becomes on-link on the transit veth instead of via a gateway LRP
that may be on another chassis. bindHostEIP stops demanding that address for a
distributed rule, which is what previously failed the bind on every node but
one. vpcd plumbs only the ENIs local OVS reports as its own, asked of OVS
rather than the Southbound DB because the question is about this host.

The gateway LRP keeps its transit-pool address. Default egress routes through
it and works across three nodes today, so making it link-local as pool mode
does would break a working path to fix one distribution has already fixed.

Pool and static are unmoved, and a test asserts that against the same input
rather than leaving it to inspection. A rule with no MAC stays centralised, so
a cluster part-way through an upgrade is never in a state neither shape handles.

Beads: mulga-opyl7, mulga-la0pe

* fix(nat): make routed-EIP host plumbing work on every node

Three guests on three OCI nodes, one guest per node: only one was
reachable. Two defects, both invisible on a single node.

The transit veth took a random MAC per node, but OVN holds one MAC
binding for the transit nexthop across the whole cluster — so every
chassis addressed its egress to whichever node seeded the binding, and
the other kernels dropped it at L2. The pair is node-local, so one
locally-administered address everywhere is unambiguous; setup-ovn.sh
pins it at creation and in the netdev unit, and EnsureUplinkPort repairs
a veth made before that.

Host routes and proxy-ARP also rode the leader-gated reconcile pass, so
a node that never won the lease never plumbed its own guests' EIPs.
BindHostEIPs does that half on its own loop on every node; Bind already
leaves alone an EIP whose ENI is elsewhere, so two nodes never contend.
An unresolvable address skips the sweep rather than shrinking it.

Pool and static are untouched: the new pass is a no-op outside routed
mode, and a test asserts it.

Also adds --teardown and --dry-run to setup-ovn.sh, for re-running it on
a node that is already tangled. It deliberately spares the NB/SB
databases, /etc/spinifex, the system-id and the packages, and refuses to
del-br a Linux bridge.

* fix(nat): assert the transit MAC where vpcd actually runs it

EnsureUplinkPort is never called in production — host.Wiring is
constructed nowhere — so the repair landed in a path the deployed
daemon does not take, and three nodes came back with three different
MACs. vpcd re-asserts it beside the NAT egress rules instead, which is
the routed-NAT branch that does run on every start.

* fix(vpcd): make uplink-mode detection say what it saw, and check it

detectBridgeMode logged only the branch it took, so a node detected as
veth when it was wired for nat looked identical to one that was right.
It now reports both probes every time, errors when a node carries both
uplink veths (set up twice, and --teardown is the way out), and errors
when external_mode and the wiring disagree — the datapath follows the
wiring, so the config silently loses that argument. An explicitly
configured bridge_mode gets the same cross-check, since nothing else
ever compared it against the wiring.

The vpc-networking doc now opens nat with "start with pool unless one
of these applies" and gains a section on nat across more than one node;
the admin warning for --external-mode=nat on two or more nodes says
what was verified by hand and what is still uncovered.

* test(nat): prove routed NAT delivers each node's own guests, on a cluster

natuplink ran single-node only, which is exactly where the two defects
that broke three nodes are invisible. It now admits ModeMultinode, and
phase 9 takes a second shape there: a guest per node in a spread
placement group, and for each one — its public IP plumbed by the node
running it and by no other node, the route on-link with proxy-ARP
answered there, a dnat_and_snat row carrying external_mac and
logical_port, a TCP handshake in from another node, and the guest's own
console verdict for egress. Every node's transit veth is checked
against the one cluster-wide MAC before any guest boots.

Single-node phase 9 gains the same row and on-link assertions, so the
shape is held on both topologies.

Two gates come from what three OCI nodes actually do: every node holds
a gateway_chassis row for every VPC (the active one is the highest
priority) and every node installs the VPC ingress route, so only phase
7 needs gating — it runs where the gateway port and the guest are both
local, and logs which one is missing otherwise.

Cell 20 is real-multi x nat with its own nightly step, leaving the
permutation cells' suite set alone.

* test(nat): run the VPC egress paths in nat mode, not pool mode only

The single suite gated TestVPCEgressPaths and TestWANEgressSMTPBlock on
external_mode = "pool", with a comment saying nat clusters have no
EIP/NAT-GW support. They have had EIPs since the routed path landed, so
the gate now asks whether the cluster can allocate public addresses at
all — pool, or nat with a non-transit pool configured.

The nat-single cell runs TestVPCEgressPaths beside natuplink, which is
the only nightly coverage of a private subnet's isolation and its NAT
gateway in routed mode. natuplink never creates a private subnet.

* docs(config): list nat among external_mode values

* fix(ci): renumber the multi-node nat cell off the bare-metal job

Cell 20 is already the bare-metal single-node job, gated on the same
cells input but declared in the workflow rather than e2e-cells.json.
A matrix entry with the same number runs two unrelated jobs under one
name, and naming 20 in a dispatch selects both.

* feat(images): add Oracle Linux 10.1 and 9.8, and pin their catalog digests

Oracle publishes its qcow2 checksums inline on an HTML page and ships no
sums file, so the four new entries carry the expected digest in the catalog
rather than a URL to fetch one from. Images gains ChecksumDigest for that,
and the catalog import path verifies against it and says which of the two
sources it used, so a recorded digest never reads as a fetched sums file.

Pinning is safe here and only here: each URL names an immutable build
(b291, b293, b178, b182) and never moves. aarch64 has a -kvm-cloud- build
alongside the plain -kvm- one; the cloud build is the cloud-init image and
is the one that matches x86_64's -kvm-.

TestImageCatalogReachable HEADs every URL in the catalog from the general
single-node suite. These artifacts live on hosts nobody here controls, so
an upstream that retires a build breaks `spx admin images import` for a
customer and nothing else in the suite would notice. It also asserts that
every entry sets exactly one checksum source, and that no pinned entry
points at a "latest" URL whose bytes would change under it.

* fix(formation): carry bridge_mode onto the leader and every joiner

applyNetworkConfig copied external_mode, external_interface and the pools
out of the formation NetworkConfig but never bridge_mode, so a multi-node
cluster wrote a spinifex.toml without the key while single-node init wrote
it. Every node then fell back to autodetecting a mode that init had pinned.

Nightly cell 30 caught it: TestNATUplink failed at the config phase on a
spinifex.toml that did not contain bridge_mode = "nat". Deriving it from
the mode rather than adding a NetworkConfig field keeps the leader and the
joiners on the same rule single-node init already uses.

* feat(ui): show how to ssh into an instance, and which user to use

An instance detail page gave the addresses and the key pair name but never
the login user, which is the one part of the command nobody can derive. It
belongs to the AMI, not to Spinifex: nothing in the launch path creates or
renames an account, so stock cloud-init applies the distro's own
default_user. Oracle Linux is cloud-user, Debian is debian, Ubuntu is
ubuntu, and guessing from the distro name gets two of those three wrong.

The card resolves the user from the AMI's name and description, and an
unrecognised image yields a placeholder rather than a guess, because a
wrong username in a copy-paste command is worse than an honest gap. A
private-only instance is called out as reachable from inside the VPC only,
rather than presented as a command that will simply time out.

* fix(nat): plumb host state for a NAT gateway's public address

AddNATGateway installed the OVN snat row and stopped there. On a routed-NAT
node the host is what delivers a public address, so an egressing private guest
left with a source the host held no route back to, and the masquerade rule —
which matches the transit 100.127.0.0/24 alone — never saw the packet. The
gateway's address needs the same /32 route into OVN, proxy-ARP and FORWARD
accepts an EIP gets.

hostBindSpecs unions floatingIPSpecs with one deduped spec per NAT gateway
address and feeds BindHostEIPs. It is kept apart from floatingIPSpecs
deliberately: pruneOrphanEIPs and addLive read that set as the complete list of
addresses allowed to hold a dnat_and_snat, and a gateway holds an snat, so
widening it would stop the sweep reclaiming a stale row on an address later
reused as a gateway's.

AddNATGateway also binds directly, on both the create and idempotent-skip
paths, so a fresh gateway is not dark for up to 30s waiting on the host EIP
pass — and so a reboot that keeps the OVN row still replays the volatile half.

Documents NAT gateways in nat mode in vpc-networking, and says at the head of
that section that nat is a supported mode covered by nightly cells 19 and 30.

* docs(oci): document Oracle Linux as a guest image, and that its user is cloud-user

Four catalog entries, all UEFI. The login user is the one that catches
people: opc is the default on the images Oracle publishes into OCI itself,
while these are the generic KVM cloud images from yum.oracle.com, whose
cloud-init default_user is cloud-user. Verified on 10.1 and 9.8 — opc, oracle
and ec2-user are all refused.

Also records why these four pin a checksum digest inline (Oracle ships no sums
file, and each URL names an immutable build), why arm64 takes the -kvm-cloud-
build, and that SELinux ships enforcing.

* fix(reconcile): stop reading an unreadable intent as an empty one

A wedged JetStream KV returned no keys for the ENI bucket while writes were
still landing. loadPorts mapped that to an empty port map, pruneOrphanPorts
read every guest LSP as an orphan against it, and every guest on the node lost
DHCP and IMDS while the API kept answering and the instances stayed "running".
The existing re-read guard did not help: it re-reads through the same path.

Three defences, because no single one covers every shape of the fault.

A failed kv.Get now fails the pass instead of dropping the record. Dropping one
VPC narrows localVPCs, which filters out every ENI in it, which the sweep reads
as permission to delete every guest port in that VPC — one failed read, same
outcome, and it needs no exotic KV state. Unmarshal failures stay skips: that
is a poison record rather than an unhealthy store, and failing on it would
wedge reconcile forever.

The port sweep now asks local OVS which taps are plugged in here and never
deletes a port that has one. A running guest's port cannot be an orphan
whatever intent says, and OVS is the one liveness signal that does not come
through the KV read path the sweep is otherwise entirely driven by. Wired from
vpcd; unwired callers fall back to the guard below. An unreadable OVS skips the
sweep rather than deciding on intent alone.

Each sweep also refuses outright when the keep set it would delete against
holds nothing at all — no ENIs, no SGs, or no ports and no external IPs. That
is the case local taps cannot cover, because the drift sweep is leader-gated
and lists NB cluster-wide, so the leader holds no tap for another node's guest.
The cost is real: a genuinely orphaned row now survives until one live record
of its class exists. Leaking a stale row is the recoverable half.

Three existing prune tests drove their fixtures to a wholly empty intent, which
is now the refusal case; they keep one live record of the class so they still
prove the prune. The Get-failure path has no unit test — there is no
jetstream.JetStream fake in the tree and an embedded server cannot be made to
list a key it will then refuse.

* docs(oci): separate the two address quotas, and the principal that can read them

The regional reserved-public-IP ceiling is tenancy-wide and does not grow with
node count, so a cluster hits it before the per-VNIC 64, which does. Records
the commands that read both, and that a detached reserved public IP still
bills.

Reading limits or usage needs a tenancy-level grant, which cannot be
compartment-scoped the way the node's policy is. That is a second, read-only
principal kept off every node, not an addition to SpinifexOperators.

* docs(oci): give quotas their own troubleshooting section, and say we enforce none

Spinifex hardcodes no address ceiling: it attempts the allocation and maps
OCI's own refusal to InsufficientAddressCapacity. So a quota is raised with
Oracle and nothing here is reconfigured or restarted — which is what an
operator needs to know before it bites, not after.

Separates the two quotas by how they scale: the regional reserved-public-IP
default is tenancy-wide and raisable by ticket, the per-VNIC 64 is per node and
is not.

* fix(oci): follow a guest to its new node when its EIP moves

OCI delivers a public address to whichever VNIC holds the private IP behind
it, and nothing ever moved that private IP. Binding.VNICID was written once at
allocate time, as the VNIC of whichever queue-group daemon happened to serve
the AWS request, and never updated — so an address landed on the right node
only by chance, and a guest that stopped and started elsewhere went dark while
every OVN row, host route and firewall rule on the new node was correct.

ClaimLocalAddresses closes the gap from the node that should hold the address.
Local OVS decides ownership, the same authority the host EIP binder already
trusts for the same question, and UpdatePrivateIp with a new VnicId does the
move in one server-side call. The private IP OCID survives it, so the reserved
public IP attached to it follows without being touched and the customer's
address never changes.

A loop per node, not leader-gated: the question is about this host's guests,
and a node that never wins the reconcile lease would otherwise never claim the
addresses of the instances it is running.

* fix(oci): record which ENI an EIP is associated with

An EIP is allocated bare and attached by a later AssociateAddress, so the OCI
binding written at allocate time named no ENI and nothing ever filled it in.
The address then stayed on whichever node happened to serve the allocation:
the affinity pass could follow an auto-assigned address, which is allocated
with its ENI, but never an EIP — the case customers actually use.

BindOwner is on an optional OwnerTracker interface rather than Allocator,
because only OCI has a notion of an address being delivered to one node. A
static or DHCP address is on the wire everywhere its node can reach, those
allocators do not implement it, and ExternalIPAM treats a pool that does not
as a success with nothing to do.

The same gap made the release owner guard inert for EIPs: it compares against
a binding ENI that was always empty, so a stale teardown could free an address
already handed to another instance.

* fix(ec2): report the address an instance is actually reachable on

Three faults kept DescribeInstances answering with the address launch assigned,
whatever happened afterwards.

The launch-time stamp lives on the stored ec2.Instance, and the stopped path
only declined to add an address rather than removing one, so a stopped instance
went on advertising an address it had released and that may already belong to
someone else. The projection now clears it, and the NIC association with it,
working on its copy so a restart can still report the address.

The running path filled the public address only when it was nil, which the
stamp never is, so an EIP could not be reported however correctly it was
recorded. The runtime address now wins.

And nothing told the rest of the system about an association: AssociateAddress
wrote neither the ENI record, which is what IMDS and the network reconcile
read, nor the instance record, which is what a describe answers from. The ENI
write is direct; the instance write is a fan-out, because the queue-group
worker that serves AssociateAddress is rarely the node running the instance.

* fix(net): take the host EIP plumbing off a node its guest has left

Bind refuses an EIP whose ENI is on another chassis; the prune beside it kept
anything still wanted cluster-wide. A guest that moved therefore left the old
node holding the /32 route into OVN and the proxy-ARP entry on the uplink, with
nothing that would ever remove them. On a shared segment that node goes on
answering ARP for an address another node is now serving.

The two halves now ask the same question by the same authority, in the loop
that already runs per node. An unreadable local OVS is not a yes: tearing down
a live address on a guess would fire everywhere at once, so it keeps the
binding and the next pass tries again. A binder with no chassis test behaves
exactly as before, and a centralised EIP is exempt because it hairpins through
the gateway chassis and every node plumbs it legitimately.

* fix(net): refuse to free an Elastic IP on behalf of a departing interface

Releasing an instance's public address on teardown releases it by address,
scoped to the ENI holding it. Since an association now writes the EIP onto the
instance record, that address is the EIP — so terminating an instance gave a
customer's Elastic IP back to the pool while describe-addresses still reported
it as theirs, free to be handed to another guest.

The existing ownership guard cannot catch this. It only fires when the stored
allocation already names an ENI, and an EIP is allocated bare and associated
later, so the stored ENI is empty and the guard passes straight through.

The distinction that holds is who is asking. ReleaseAddress is the address's own
owner and names no interface; instance teardown names the interface it is tearing
down. So a release that names an owner may free an auto-assigned address and
never an EIP, which is enforced in each of the three allocators.

DHCP needed the scope carried on the wire, since it releases by address and
resolves the lease afterwards. Absent on an older caller, which reads as false
and keeps the previous behaviour.

Worst on the two providers where it is not recoverable: on DHCP the lease is the
only thing holding the address and the server promises nothing about handing it
back, and on OCI the address is a reserved public IP object that the release
destroys outright.

* test(e2e): prove an Elastic IP survives a stop and start

Instance teardown releases the public address by value, and since the
association writes the EIP onto the instance record, that release aims
straight at the customer's Elastic IP. The allocator guards now refuse it,
but nothing end to end proved the address comes back on a restart.

The step goes inside EIPFlip, which already runs last on the shared public
guest for the same reason a stop is safe there: the address the guest
returns on is the allocation's, not the pool's. It runs on the static
cells and the DHCP ones alike, and on DHCP it doubles as the only outside
view of the lease still renewing while the guest is down.

* feat: release an auto-assigned public address on stop, take a new one on start

AWS lends an instance a public address for as long as it runs and gives it a
different one on the next start. Spinifex kept the address across a stop, which
holds a pool slot for a stopped instance and, on a DHCP pool, keeps renewing a
lease nothing is using.

A stop now offers the address back through the instance cleaner, which refuses
anything an Elastic IP is behind — the EIP association record answers that, the
same question an ENI delete already asks — and records on the VM that the start
owes it a new one. A host drain keeps the address: Restore relaunches the guest
on the next boot, and changing its address under it is an outage nobody asked
for.

The start allocates before the launch, so an exhausted pool refuses the start
rather than booting a guest the customer cannot reach, adopts an Elastic IP
associated while the instance was stopped instead of assigning a second address
beside it, and hands the address back if the launch then fails.

e2e: a StopStartAddress stage on the public guest asserts a stopped instance
reports no address and comes back on a different one from a static pool, and a
StopStartKeepsTheEIP step asserts the opposite for an Elastic IP.

* docs: restructure the OCI guide around two deployment paths, with diagrams

The guide had grown into a numbered wall with no shape: no frontmatter, no
contents, and a reader with an OCI account had no way to tell where to start.
It now follows the multi-node install template — overview, prerequisites, then
the deployment path — and splits that path in two: Terraform for one node or
three, which is the preferred route, and a manual single-node walkthrough for
an instance that already exists. Both meet at one shared configuration section
rather than repeating it.

Two ASCII diagrams carry what the prose could not: one OCI instance with the
whole AWS surface inside it, and three nodes with the same surface distributed,
showing which plane each VNIC carries and how an address follows a guest that
moves.

The limits section was materially out of date and said so in the places that
mattered most. Multi-node is no longer experimental, public addresses are no
longer pinned to one node — each allocates on its own VNIC and the affinity
pass moves the private half to wherever the guest is — and an auto-assigned
address is now returned to OCI on stop, so a stopped fleet stops paying for
addresses. What changed is recorded rather than quietly edited.

The Terraform configuration moves in from the monorepo as
scripts/terraform/oci-spx, so the guide points at something in this repository.

Also marks the two new lifecycle test files in-package, with the reason each
one needs to be: both substitute unexported dependencies.

* docs: rework the OCI guide — SVG diagrams, Terraform variables, iSCSI and br-wan

Replaces the two ASCII diagrams with SVGs in the house style, one for a
single node and one for three. Renames the two deployment sections to
Terraform deployment and Manual deployment, documents what the Terraform
builds per node and every variable worth setting, and explains that the
data volume is an iSCSI attachment rather than a disk.

The manual path now covers the iSCSI login, the fstab entry and the
netplan source routing that Terraform writes, and states what br-wan is
for on a routed-NAT node: it names the VNIC for the OCI allocator and
holds the registered addresses, but is never bridged into OVS.

Opens with what Spinifex is and why OCI is worth running it on.

* fix: make gateway convergence work on a multi-node routed-NAT cluster

Three defects each stopped a multi-node cluster from ever attaching an
internet gateway, and all three produced the same uninformative symptom:
`terraform apply` sitting on `aws_internet_gateway.igw: Still creating...`
forever while every service reported healthy.

ovn-northd was given only its local OVSDB socket as a client connection.
A RAFT follower does not forward writes -- it answers "not cluster leader,
trying another server" -- so with one entry in the list, northd stops
translating Northbound intent into Southbound flows the moment database
leadership moves to another node. Measured on the OCI cluster:
SB_Global.nb_cfg seventeen transactions behind NB_Global.nb_cfg, with no
chassisredirect port for any VPC created after leadership moved.
setup-ovn.sh wrote the member list only when the caller passed
--ovn-remote, which only install-node.sh did; it now derives the list from
the live RAFT membership otherwise, and says so when it finds a single
member, because that node needs a second pass once the others join.

The gateway datapath probe ran wherever the reconcile lease landed rather
than on the chassis owning the port. Both probes leave from the local
uplink, and under routed NAT the transit subnet exists identically on every
node, so a remote probe reported a healthy gateway as dead and aimed a
repair at a datapath the node does not own. GatewayPortLocal gates it.

On OCI the probe then ARPed the tenant-visible public IP, which the cloud
NATs and which appears on no interface anywhere. The reconciler now maps
the address through the same DatapathResolver the NAT rules are built from.

Also adds DescribeVpcEndpoints, which the AWS provider calls on every VPC
delete to sweep GuardDuty-managed endpoints; an InvalidAction there failed
the destroy and stranded the VPC.

The OCI guide gains a Terraform section recording which shipped workbooks
were validated against a three-node OCI cluster and which are still open.

* docs: record the validated Terraform workbook results for the three-node OCI cluster

Six of the seven workbooks run against the OCI cluster pass, including the
three the section exists to prove: RDS, ECS and EKS. Records nginx-alb and the
clean eks-quickstart re-run, and names the two lifecycle gaps that bit during
the run so an operator recognises them rather than reading them as a broken
workbook.

* fix: route the NAT gateway's SNAT source through the datapath resolver

AddNATGateway was the one NAT path that did not map its external address to
the one that rides the wire. Where the public half of an allocation is NAT'd by
the cloud it is on no interface anywhere, so every private-subnet guest egressed
with a source that was dropped, while the gateway reported available and DNS
kept working because the VPC resolver is host-local.

The unmapped address also failed the host EIP sweep, which works in resolved
addresses, so the bind was pruned as foreign on the next pass and reinstalled on
the one after. The public half now survives as an external ID instead.

Also restructures the OCI guide around numbered steps through to running
Terraform, and moves the cloud-init and metadata sections into troubleshooting
where they are read when something is wrong rather than followed when it is not.

* fix: place a NAT gateway's OCI address on the node that forwards for it

OCI drops a packet whose source is not a registered private IP on the VNIC it
leaves from, so a NAT gateway's SNAT source has to be on the gateway chassis.
Two independent placements decided those and nothing reconciled them: the
address was created by whichever worker served AllocateAddress, while the
chassis is a fixed ordering the reconcile pass asserts. On a three-node cluster
that made private-subnet egress a coin flip, and the same Terraform passed or
died depending on which node answered.

The affinity pass already solves this for guests, by asking local OVS where the
tap is. A NAT gateway has no tap, and it skipped anything with no ENI — which
is exactly and only this address. The equivalent local fact is the VPC's
chassisredirect binding, so ownership now has two answers rather than one, and
an address that is neither a guest's nor a gateway's is still left alone.

The VPC is recorded from the reconcile pass rather than from CreateNatGateway,
because the answer is the gateway chassis and reconcile is what decides it.

* fix: plumb a NAT gateway's host ingress only on its gateway chassis

A NAT gateway's address has no ENI, so neither the bind's locality test nor
the prune's could ever fire for it and every node installed its /32 route into
OVN. Latent on bare metal, where pool addresses are disjoint from the node
subnet; on a cloud that hands out the address from the nodes' own subnet it
outranks the connected route and swallows node-to-node traffic.

Give that address the same second authority the ocinet affinity pass has: the
VPC's chassisredirect binding, read from the local ovn-controller. An
unanswerable question still leaves the binding alone, so a single node whose
gateway port is not yet claimed behaves exactly as before.

The orphan EIP prune built its live set from ENI and user EIPs alone while also
sweeping host ingress, so every drift pass tore down the ingress of every live
NAT gateway and left it dark until the next host EIP tick.

* fix: ask the gateway chassis only about a NAT gateway's address

gatewayElsewhere skipped the NAT gateway marker it was named for and answered
for every spec, so on a node that is not the VPC's gateway chassis every EIP —
including a guest's, whose locality is its own port — was left unplumbed. Two
of three nodes bound nothing.

* test: assert the two private-subnet EKS workbooks in the tofu harness

eks-https-ingress and eks-gitops-argocd put their workers in private subnets
behind a NAT gateway, so a worker only registers Ready if its egress to the
cluster endpoint and to ECR survives that path. That makes them the workbooks
that catch a NAT gateway fault, and neither had an assertion, so neither could
be run at all — run_workbook calls assert_<name> by construction.

Both share eks-quickstart's readiness check, extracted unchanged. They also
name the worker size node_instance_type rather than instance_type, and tofu
rejects a -var for an undeclared variable outright, so the name is read from
the config instead of kept in a list here.

* test: count agents, not every node, when asserting EKS workers Ready

The control plane is three K3s servers, so an unfiltered node count reaches a
one-worker cluster's desired size before any worker joins — the assertion
passed on exactly the failure it exists to catch, reporting "4/1 workers
Ready". Filtering on the control-plane role label makes it 1/1, which is the
number that says a node-group worker registered.

Matters most for the two private-subnet workbooks, where the worker joining is
the whole proof that egress through the NAT gateway works.

Ben Duncan 225bf65a8e feat: EBS export tunables, teardown reapers, fan-out and OVN fixes (#800)
Merges `feat/ebs-export-tunables` (83 commits) into dev. The branch could not be rebase-merged because it carries five merges from dev, so it lands as a squash.

## What is in it

- **EBS export tunables** and the nbdkit/viperblock export path they configure.
- **Teardown reapers and backoff** for S3 buckets, load balancers, gateways, spot requests, certificates, endpoints, elastic IPs and network interfaces, so a dependent that keeps failing is backed off rather than retried hot.
- **Retry and tolerance paths**: ECS IAM service init, ECR signing keys deleted between the list and the read, an unreadable signing key at awsgw startup, and an ECS instance-profile policy attach converging on a stale read.
- **Key pair validation reads the material by name** instead of listing the account, closing the `InvalidKeyPair.NotFound` race that a single-replica LIST could produce.
- **Concurrency and fan-out**: concurrent metadata document fetches, bounded metadata reads for describes, and the node-discovery timeout removed from every fan-out call.
- **OVN correctness against the configured NB cluster**: the flows barrier, nexthop MAC binding, and stopping a compute node from running the package's standalone database.
- **nats-js-watchdog can re-arm itself.** The escalation check ran above the probe loop while the only line that cleared the counter sat below it, so a latched watchdog could never observe a recovery. It now probes first and decides second, and says so once per latch rather than once per tick.
- **CI**: 19 commits of nightly and build-pipeline work.

## Verification

`make preflight` green locally. Build and Test, Integration Tests, Race Detection, and Lint and Security all green on `c2da0385`.

## Known red, not introduced here

Two nightly cells fail on this branch and are pre-existing:

- **cell-10** — a partial OVN IPsec enable leaves `NB_Global ipsec=true` asserted cluster-wide while two of three chassis failed their local reconcile, black-holing cross-chassis guest traffic for roughly 5.5 minutes while every health signal stays green.
- **cell-19** — a total layer-3 egress blackhole below a correctly and promptly programmed NAT/EIP datapath, aggravated by a natuplink probe whose retry budget outlives the test's own wait, so it can never emit its FAIL verdict.

Both are filed separately and should be weighed before a release is cut.

Ben Duncan 42d87d7a5a feat: EBS export tunables, plus blob-read fault isolation for ebsmetadata (#799)
* feat(ebs): make nbdkit thread count and per-volume read cache configurable

Both numbers that set a volume's export concurrency and memory were
hard-coded: nbdkit ran on its own default of 16 threads per connection
because no -t was ever passed, and the read cache was a 128 MiB literal in
the mount path. Neither could be changed without a recompile, and neither
was visible in the logs or the process argv.

Add default_threads and cache_size_mb to [nodes.<node>.ebs]. Defaults are
unchanged, so a config that does not set them behaves exactly as before.

CacheSizeMB is a pointer so an explicit 0 (cache disabled) stays
distinguishable from an unset key, matching how ViperblockConfig treats its
own toggles. -efi volumes stay uncached regardless.

Validation is a range check only. Both are operator tunables applied per
nbdkit process, and there is one of those per volume, so the host cost is
the value times the volume count -- left for the operator to weigh rather
than second-guessed here.

* feat(security): arm the firewall by install path and sync the clock at firstboot

The host firewall armed itself from a code default, so a curl-to-bash install
onto an existing Debian or Ubuntu machine applied a default-deny INPUT policy
seconds after bootstrap. Anything the operator was already running that is not
on the allow list stopped accepting connections, with nothing logged and no
config key to set beforehand — no template writes firewall_enabled, so every
install fell through to the default.

Arming is now the install path's decision. setup.sh takes --firewall=on|off and
records it in /etc/spinifex/firewall/mode, defaulting on under ISO_BUILD and off
everywhere else: the ISO is an appliance on hardware we define, a package install
is a guest on a machine that was already doing something.

firewall_enabled becomes a three-state *bool so "unset" and "explicitly false"
stay distinguishable. Flipping the default to false instead would have torn down
a working policy on every existing node, because false is an instruction to
disable rather than an absence. Resolution is config, then mode file, then on, so
a node installed before any of this keeps what it has.

The ISO had the opposite problem. setup.sh is the only place that enables
spinifex-firewall.service and it returns before that line under ISO_BUILD, with
no systemd in the chroot to talk to. Nothing else enabled it, so after a reboot
the ruleset — runtime state — was gone, and ReconcileFirewall short-circuited on
an unchanged peer file and never put it back. An ISO node was firewalled until
its first reboot and open permanently after. firstboot now enables the unit, and
the reconcile checks the table is loaded rather than treating an unchanged peer
set as proof the policy is applied.

Two policy changes: 443 is held for the nginx TLS edge so that rollout needs no
per-node firewall change, and the SSH port is read from sshd_config and its
Include drop-ins instead of being hardcoded to 22 — a host on Port 2222 was
allowed exactly one port that was not the one it uses, and ct state established
kept the operator's session alive until they disconnected. 53 stays open on every
node, now with a comment saying so: northstar serves public authoritative DNS.

Clock: firstboot steps and waits for sync before spx admin init mints
credentials, since a certificate issued against a wrong RTC carries a NotBefore
that outlives the correction. Bounded to 60s and non-fatal so an air-gapped
install still completes, and once is enough because rtcsync writes the corrected
time back. A chrony drop-in replaces Debian's makestep 1 3, which stops stepping
after three updates and then slews at roughly 7 seconds a day — a node that
burned those before the network came up never visibly converged.

* fix(security): let a node join a cluster whose firewall is already armed

Expanding a single-node ISO install into a cluster could not succeed. Two
independent blockers, both from the same root: the peer set is derived from
converged cluster state, but the ports needed to reach convergence are gated
on that same set.

The formation port is peer-scoped, and a node dialling in to join is not a
peer yet, so the handshake was dropped rather than refused and the joiner
retried in silence until it timed out. It cannot simply move to the public
rule: outside formation the same port carries the daemon cluster manager,
whose /health and /local/* routes report node topology, service inventory and
running instances unauthenticated. So it is opened for the formation window
only, by spx admin init, and closed again on every exit path.

The reconcile then deadlocked. Holding out for the full chassis list is right
on a node with no policy loaded, but on one armed for a smaller cluster the
ports a joining node needs in order to register its chassis are exactly the
ones the stale set blocks, so the list can never complete. Widen the peer set
on the tunnel set already loaded, and report the partial state so the caller
retries sooner than the steady-state interval. A converged cluster whose
Southbound DB is briefly unreadable is still left untouched.

* docs(install): explain the firewall around cluster formation

An ISO-installed server is a cluster of one, and its firewall admits internal
cluster traffic only from members it recognises. Forming a cluster out of such
servers therefore needs the firewall off first: step 3 of the multi-node guide
has each server dial node 1's OVN database on the raft ports, and those are
peer-scoped like everything else on the cluster plane. Neither guide said so,
and the failure is a silent drop that looks like a network fault.

Both guides now walk the off / form / on sequence, and the multi-node guide
gains a reference section covering which ports are public, how arming differs
between the ISO and the binary installer, and how to verify membership landed.

Re-enable the boot-time unit whenever the daemon arms the policy. Disabling
the firewall to form a cluster also disables that unit, so re-arming used to
look complete while leaving the node bare after its next reboot.

* fix: make the ISO-to-cluster conversion path work end to end

Forming a cluster from four ISO-imaged servers surfaced a run of bugs that
share a starting state CI never exercises: the ISO delivers an initialized,
armed, running node, while the conversion path was written against the binary
installer's unconfigured one.

- install-node.sh never disarmed the host firewall, so nodes 2 and 3 could not
  dial the first node on the OVN raft ports and formation could not proceed. It
  now owns the whole lifecycle: disarm, form, re-arm, then verify the loaded
  policy against the expected peer set.
- spx admin init left the admin access key and secret empty on the preserve
  path. The pair cannot be read back, and the IAM store is rebuilt by formation,
  so the empty strings reached every joiner's bootstrap.json and crash-looped
  awsgw. It is reissued instead, and IAM seeding now skips an empty admin block
  rather than taking the gateway down on every restart.
- node-reset.sh left /etc/default/ovn-central behind. Raft membership lives in
  that file, not in the databases the reset deletes, so ovn-central recreated
  the database as a cluster member dialling a peer that had itself been wiped.
- node-reset.sh also destroyed the installed firewall policy, which nothing
  regenerates. set-peers then failed on every attempt and the node stayed open
  permanently and silently. The arming mode is read before the wipe and the
  stage regenerated after it.
- spinifex-firewall-apply rejected every verb when the policy file was missing,
  including disable. Turning the firewall off is the recovery path, so that left
  a node that could be neither armed nor disarmed.
- viperblock exited 0 on a fatal startup error, so Restart=on-failure never
  fired. During formation its JetStream bucket has no leader yet, so the EBS
  provider died for good and every volume request failed with no responders.
  predastore and qemunbd had the same bug.
- spx admin images import created image directories at 0700, so the first sudo
  import locked group members out of a tree deliberately made group-writable.

Three of these hid behind checks that cannot succeed: ovn-sbctl show against a
clustered database, and the OVN northbound and southbound waits in setup-ovn.sh.
All three failed to stderr and let the run continue, so a check that could never
pass was indistinguishable from one that was merely slow.

The USB install guide claimed the ISO leaves Spinifex unconfigured and told the
operator to run spx admin init. firstboot has always done that itself, so the
guide now describes what the ISO actually produces and how to start using it.

* fix: let spread placement launch across every node

A spread placement group reserved four distinct nodes correctly and then failed
the launch with ServerInternal, having started only two or three of them. The
scheduler was never at fault; two faults downstream stopped the instances
following the reservation.

vpcd subscribes to vpc.add-nat with QueueSubscribe, which delivers one message
at a time, and the handler holds its reply across the OVN flows barrier. The
45s caller deadline was sized against a single 30s barrier, which is right for
one instance and wrong for the N a spread launch issues at once — the third
request waits behind two full barriers and times out. That one subscription now
overlaps its handlers under a bounded semaphore. Each barrier still syncs after
its own write, so the guarantee is unchanged while N barriers collapse into
roughly one.

With the requests overlapping, every barrier still ran to its alarm.
install-node.sh computed OVN_REMOTE after building the database nodes and gave
it only to compute nodes, so the database nodes were configured without
--ovn-remote. setup-ovn.sh writes ovn-northd's NB/SB connections from that list
and skips it on the localhost default, and it already documents what follows: a
northd dialling only its local member stops advancing nb_cfg once raft
leadership moves, wedging ovn-nbctl --wait=hv. The list is knowable before any
node is touched, so it is computed first and passed to the database nodes too.

Nothing reported an OVN fault while this was happening. Every chassis was
registered, ovn-controller and IPsec were up, and the raft cluster was healthy.
The only signal was the barrier logging that it had overrun and was continuing
without confirmation — which reads like slowness and was a permanent wedge.

* perf: run guest NICs on vhost-net with multiqueue

Guest-to-guest VPC throughput measured 1.68 Gbit/s single-stream against
21.8 Gbit/s host-to-host on the same underlay, and did not improve with
more streams. QEMU's -netdev tap defaults vhost to off, so the whole
datapath ran in the main loop thread in userspace: that thread sat at
59-65% CPU while all four vCPU threads idled at ~4%.

Every tap netdev now carries vhost=on, and VPC ENIs additionally run
multiqueue at min(vCPUs, 8) queue pairs. Multiqueue needs all three of
the tap, the netdev and the device to agree, so TapNetDev and NetDevice
derive the netdev options and the 2N+2 MSI-X vector count from one queue
figure rather than leaving callers to keep them in step.

The QMP hot-plug path takes the same options as cold boot, with a test
comparing it against the rendered cold-boot strings so the two cannot
drift. MMIO machines stay single-queue: they have no MSI-X.

* ci: skip cell-21 workload cleanup when the workload never ran

* ci: size the cell-21 node at 8 GiB and keep its serial log

* ci: keep the cell-21 node diagnostics alongside the serial log

* fix: let the daemon open /dev/vhost-net and delete multi_queue taps

Enabling vhost=on broke instance launch two ways. DevicePolicy=closed gates
the cgroup device list before capabilities are consulted, so QEMU's open of
/dev/vhost-net returned EPERM despite CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE; add the device to the
allow list and bump the unit version. Separately, `ip tuntap del` re-opens the
device with TUNSETIFF and fails with EINVAL on a multi_queue tap, leaking it on
every teardown; route deletion through `ip link del`, which is flag-agnostic.

* perf: default guest NICs to a single queue

Multiqueue measured a net loss. Spreading one flow across queue pairs reorders
packets and TCP reads that as loss: a 4-vCPU guest fell from 1.76 to 1.50
Gbit/s, with cwnd collapsing on spurious retransmits. The host overlay funnels
a node pair onto one softirq core, so the extra queues have no headroom to win
back what the reordering costs. Keep the plumbing and its tests behind
MultiqueueNICs so re-enabling is one line once that funnel is fixed.

vhost-net stays on unconditionally; it moves the datapath off the QEMU main
loop, measured at 60% of a core under load against 3% with it.

* fix: raise the UDP receive buffer for predastore's QUIC transport

Predastore carries blob, meta and raft over QUIC and quic-go asks for a 7MiB
receive buffer. Left at the kernel default of 208KiB it silently dropped
datagrams under load: the four-node cluster had shed 80k-125k each, which
failed shard writes, put raft into repeated elections, and ultimately handed
guests an I/O error that cost two of them their root filesystems.

Adds a sysctl stage writing /etc/sysctl.d/99-spinifex-net.conf, so the setting
lands in the ISO image and on every node push rather than living in a runbook.

* ci: give the cell-21 workload an identity the node accepts

* feat: tie the guest MTU and NIC multiqueue to ipsec_enabled

ESP costs 34 bytes on top of geneve's 58, so a cluster running the overlay in
plaintext can advertise 1442 instead of 1408 — worth roughly 10% of guest
throughput. Derive it from network.ipsec_enabled rather than hardcoding the
conservative figure.

Multiqueue moves with the same flag, because its sign depends on it. Behind
IPsec it costs ~12%: ESP has no L4 ports, so RSS funnels a node pair onto one
core and extra queues only reorder packets, which TCP reads as loss. Without
IPsec the sending host's single vhost thread saturates first and queues are
worth +54%. IPsec on with multiqueue on is the worst of the four combinations,
so it stops being a standalone knob and becomes vm.Deps.MultiqueueNICs.

The reconciler only ever created a subnet's DHCPOptions row and never revisited
it, so the create-time MTU stuck for the life of the subnet and this change
would have applied to new subnets only. Worse in the other direction: turning
IPsec back on would have left subnets advertising 1442 over ESP, which drops
large segments with no ICMP to recover from. applySubnets now diffs and updates
in place.

reconcile.Config takes IPSecDisabled rather than IPSecEnabled so the zero value
is the conservative MTU — a caller that forgets it is merely slower.

* docs: add an install-time performance tuning guide

Measured on the four-node cluster rather than inferred: the UDP receive buffer
sysctl, what IPsec actually costs and why, the multiqueue sign flip, the overlay
MTU budget, and the jumbo-frame check that must precede enabling it.

A starter doc — several sections end in an open question rather than a
recommendation.

* ci: keep the cell-21 node alive for the workload step

* ci: collect the cell-21 qemu log and widen its timeout

* feat: derive the guest MTU from the fabric, and deepen the virtio NIC config

The overlay overhead is passed on to the guest rather than hidden from it.
Hiding it means running the fabric far enough above 1500 that a standard guest
MTU fits in the headroom, which is what the large public clouds do — but they
own the switches. On a fabric we do not control, the honest figure is the one
the path can carry, and a jumbo underlay should reach the guest: 9000 gives
8942, or 8908 with IPsec. network.underlay_mtu is the lever; SubnetMTU spends
it. Configured rather than probed, because a node's own NIC MTU says nothing
about the switch between it and its peers.

host_mtu sets VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU so a guest that never takes a DHCP lease —
statically addressed, or IPv6-only — still learns the ceiling.

rx/tx_queue_size raise the virtio ring from QEMU's default 256. That default is
a packet-rate ceiling rather than a memory saving: a vCPU preempted for a
fraction of a millisecond fills all 256 slots and the overflow is dropped.

ethtool is the only way to read NIC offload, ring and channel state, so a node
without it cannot be diagnosed for throughput at all.

* ci: give the cell-21 workload its own guest key

* fix: set the guest MTU on the tap, not just in the guest

The tap was created and brought up without an MTU, so it stayed at the
kernel default of 1500 while DHCP and host_mtu told the guest something
else. Harmless at 1442; it silently blackholed every large frame on a
jumbo underlay, with no ICMP back because the drop is at the first hop.

TapSpec.MTU comes from the same guest overlay MTU the DHCP option and
host_mtu already use, and is applied in the bring-up call so a size the
fabric cannot carry fails the launch instead of degrading quietly.

* fix: stop setting tx_queue_size, which QEMU caps at 256 for tap

QEMU only honours a tx_queue_size above 256 for vhost-user and
vhost-vdpa backends. On a tap it rejects the value outright rather than
clamping it, so every launch died with "must be a power of 2 between
256 and 256" and the instance went straight to terminated.

rx_queue_size is unaffected and stays at 1024. A test pins the absence
of tx_queue_size across machine types and queue counts.

* docs: lead the tuning guide with the overlay segmentation finding

The guide's headline was a 5.4x that came almost entirely from turning
IPsec off, and it treated MTU and the fabric as the main levers. The
host reaches 92.6 Gbit/s at MTU 1500 on the same NIC, so the fabric is
not the constraint and the encrypted default is not the thing to tune
away from.

Adds the host-versus-guest comparison up front, documents
network.underlay_mtu, and makes the missing segmentation offload the
first open question.

* ci: stop deselected matrix cells failing in teardown

* docs: quantify what disabling overlay IPsec is worth

The guide described the trade without the numbers an operator needs to
make it. Adds the measured 4.9x, notes that the MTU and multiqueue
changes follow ipsec_enabled rather than being separate knobs, and
records two transition hazards: a stale wide MTU on running guests, and
RunInstances failing while the OVN flows barrier catches up with the new
SAs.

* ci: collect and retain the e2e benchmark and cluster logs

Cells 21 and 22 both copied two paths that only ever exist on the nodes, so
the benchmark JSON was never uploaded and cell-22 collected nothing at all.
Both now gather what they actually produce, and keep it for 90 days.

* fix: quieten spx by installing an explicit CLI logger default

spx never set a process logger, so it inherited whatever a linked package
left behind — until now a JSON handler at Info on stdout, interleaving
library log records with command output and breaking piped use.

Execute() claims the default before any command runs: text on stderr,
LevelError, so commands report failures through their own stderr writes and
libraries stay quiet. --verbose/-v raises to info and SPX_LOG_LEVEL sets an
arbitrary level, the flag winning over the environment. Service subcommands
still call initTelemetry, which replaces the handler outright.

No root --debug flag: viperblock, qemunbd, nats and awsgw each define their
own --debug with a service-specific meaning, and a root persistent flag would
shadow inconsistently depending on the command.

The guard test samples the handler at package-init time rather than inside
the test, because tests in this package start services that install their own
logger legitimately.

* feat: private /admin/CreateAccount for self-service tenant signup

Add POST /admin/<Method> to the AWS gateway: SigV4-signed, JSON in and
JSON out, callable only by an IAM user in the super-admin account holding
spinifex:<Method>. CreateAccount is the one method, so a signup form can
provision a tenant without an operator shell. No new service, port, unit
or certificate — it mounts inside the gateway's existing authenticated
group and inherits its auth, throttling and tracing.

Provisioning is resumable rather than transactional, which fits stores
that have no transaction. Two CAS creates carry the correctness: the
client token admits one in-flight attempt and makes a lost response
replayable for 24 hours, and the name reservation makes duplicate account
names impossible. Every step after the account exists is create-if-absent,
so a retry with the same token finishes the job instead of failing.

The CLI and the endpoint share one provisioning helper, which closes a
gap on both at once: CreateAccount never checked names, so running
`spx admin account create` twice produced two accounts that differed only
by ID.

The response waits for the account's default VPC over a new
ec2.EnsureDefaultVpc request/reply, rather than trusting the existing
fire-and-forget iam.account.created publish — credentials for an account
that cannot launch anything are worse than a slower call.

[signup] max_accounts bounds how many accounts may exist; absent means
uncapped, which is what every cluster does today.

* fix: stop the awsgw template hardcoding one deployment's console URL

console_url shipped as https://console.spx3.com, so every fresh install —
including an on-premise cluster that will never run signup — was
configured to point new accounts at our console. It is the only
deployment-specific domain in any template. It now ships empty, and the
gateway warns when it provisions an account without one, since a blank
sign-in link is otherwise visible only to the customer who receives it.

Extract the remote client from the command body while here. The signing,
request shape and error decoding are the part a Cloudflare Worker
mirrors, and as a function they are testable against a TLS test server
rather than only by hand against a live cluster.

* refactor: drop console_url from signup and default max_accounts to 128

The gateway never read console_url — it passed the value straight through to
the response, and the idempotency record froze it for 24 hours so a corrected
typo still replayed stale. The client that made the request already knows
where it wants to send the new tenant.

max_accounts is now a pointer in the parsed config so an absent [signup]
section takes the 128 default while an explicit 0 still means uncapped.

* feat: run the predastore fault-injection harness as cell-24

Cell-23 asks how fast predastore is when every node is healthy; cell-24 asks
whether it survives one that is not. It runs after cell-23 rather than beside
it: both want a quiet single runner, and a benchmark sharing a machine with a
fault injection run measures the wrong thing.

The port offset keeps the two clear of each other even so, and the job clears
stale nodes on entry and exit, since a run killed before its cleanup trap
leaves one holding ports that fail the next run somewhere unrelated.

* ci: keep the throughput benchmark's output with its results

The run log only existed in the job log, so the artifact it uploaded could not
be read without going back to the run that produced it.

* ci: keep the fault-injection run log with its results

events.txt carries the timeline and the FAIL line, but not the build output or
anything Warp wrote before the harness took over, so a failed cell could only
be read from the job log it was printed into.

* fix: serve the cluster region to the console instead of hardcoding it

The console hardcoded ap-southeast-2 as its SigV4 region in seven files, so on
any other cluster the credential scope was wrong and the gateway rejected every
signed request.

The SPA is embedded in the binary, so a build-time value would pin one binary to
one region. The UI server now serves GET /api/config with the region, no-store
so a proxy fronting several clusters cannot serve one the other's region, and
the SPA loads it once before render.

The region comes from the serving node's config because awsgw pins signature
verification to that same field. Reading the cluster-wide [aws] region instead
would let a cluster whose two keys disagree pass review and still fail to
authenticate.

Also relabels the login card as Spinifex credentials, since the fields are not
AWS ones, and hides the CA install banner unless the console is reached
directly: behind a proxy with a publicly trusted certificate there is nothing
for the cluster CA to fix.

* fix: say once when the host firewall will not be maintained

Both quiet outcomes of the reconcile — no cluster config, and the policy
switched off — return nil without logging, so a node that never arms is
indistinguishable in the journal from one that armed on its first pass.

* test: arm the host firewall before asserting on its peer set

Only the ISO install arms the policy; every other path writes off to the
mode file, so the daemon disables the firewall and never writes a peer
set. The test read that file as its baseline, which it could never have.

It now switches the mode on for its own duration and puts it back, waits
for the peer set the way install-node.sh does, and on failure reports the
mode, the node count and what the daemon said rather than just the
missing file.

* test: move the console region test to the external cmd package

It was in package cmd, which test-package-check rejects, so preflight
failed on the branch. The hook follows the pattern already in
export_test.go.

* test: make the reboot EIP diagnostic capable of naming the drop

The two ofproto/trace probes injected packets with no TTL, so OVN's router
killed them at lr_in_ip_input and both traces ended early for a reason that
had nothing to do with the failure under investigation. A keyword filter then
stripped the table-match lines, hiding where each trace stopped.

Traces now carry a TTL and are kept whole, the real datapath megaflows for the
guest reply are dumped alongside them, and any drop matching the guest source
is resolved from its OpenFlow cookie back to the Southbound logical flow that
installed it.

* fix: exempt an EIP instance from the subnet drop gate with allow, not reroute

A subnet with no route of its own carries a priority-1100 drop policy, and an
instance with an external IP is lifted above it by a priority-1200 policy. That
policy rerouted to the pool gateway, which in distributed NAT is outside every
logical router port subnet, because the gateway LRP is the link-local /30. The
static default route survives that by naming an output port; a routing policy
has no such field, so ovn-northd discarded all three of them and the drop gate
below swallowed everything the instances sent.

The effect was that every external IP answered inbound traffic and none of it
came back: the SYN reached the guest, the guest replied, and the reply died in
the router's policy stage. Guest-initiated egress was lost the same way.

The policy only ever needed to lift the gate. The router's default route already
points at the gateway, so allow leaves the routing decision intact and gives
northd nothing to reject.

* test: match the log the firewall quorum gate actually emits

The assertion waited for "chassis encap addresses; not writing a partial peer
set", which no code has ever logged. The reconcile reports a short chassis list
as "OVN reports N of M chassis encap addresses" and the maintain loop carries
that into its retry warning, so the wait could only ever time out.

Arming the node in the previous commit got the test as far as this assertion for
the first time, which is why it surfaced now. The failure also prints the
journal tail and the same inputs the earlier wait reports.

* fix: stop one unreadable volume document failing every volume listing

A single volume document whose shards no longer reconstruct made
DescribeVolumes, DescribeVolumeStatus and DescribeVolumesModifications
fail for every account, because the listing returned the first fetch
error rather than skipping the document.

ListVolumes now skips a document it cannot read or decode and logs the
skip, mirroring ListAMIs. Callers whose answer would be wrong rather
than merely partial take ListVolumesStrict: the orphan scan and the
snapshot in-use check both gate destructive work on a complete list.

The tolerance covers fetch failures as well as decode failures. An
object whose shards no longer join is as unusable as one whose bytes
will not parse, and it was the fetch path that took the cluster down.

Josh Siviour 80faf59a43 fix(ovn): bind the NB/SB client listeners to loopback and the lan plane (#765)
setup-ovn.sh set the OVN Northbound and Southbound client remotes with a bare
set-connection ptcp:6641 / ptcp:6642. The address-free ptcp: form binds every
interface, so on a multi-plane node the unauthenticated, unencrypted OVSDB
control plane was reachable from the public interface. Write access to the
Southbound database is control of the whole tenant network fabric.

ovsdb-server takes remotes from two additive sources: the Connection table,
which RAFT replicates cluster-wide, and local ovn-ctl command-line flags. That
split is what the fix uses. Loopback goes in the replicated row, because
127.0.0.1 is correct on every node, so replication is harmless and local
clients keep working. The lan address goes on the per-node command line via
--db-nb-addr and --db-nb-create-insecure-remote, which never replicates, so
each node binds its own address without pushing it to its peers.

A new --lan-addr flag carries that address, falling back to
--db-cluster-local-addr so clustered nodes stay correct without caller changes.
The standalone branch now writes /etc/default/ovn-central too, since a two-node
install still has a remote ovn-controller that needs the lan listener. The
guard on --db-nb-addr is load-bearing: it defaults to 0.0.0.0, so emitting
create-insecure-remote without a resolved address would recreate the bug.

install-node.sh passes the lan address on both branches and warns when the lan
plane has collapsed onto the public address, since the listener then lands on
the public interface and a firewall is the only remaining control.

Josh Siviour 628fbbc0c3 fix: group-scope the OVS/OVN sockets and retire the vpcd sudoers grants (#609)
* fix: group-scope the OVS/OVN sockets and stop sudoing read-only probes

The OVS DB socket and both sets of ctl sockets were chmod 0666 by setup-ovn.sh,
with a systemd override re-applying it on every openvswitch-switch restart. Write
access to db.sock is full control of the local datapath, so this handed the
datapath to any account on the box. Both service users run with Group=spinifex,
so the access is now 0660 root:spinifex, /var/run/ovn is 0750, and a shared
helper re-applies it from ExecStartPost on openvswitch-switch and ovn-controller
alike — the latter is new, and matters because the ovn-controller ctl socket name
embeds the pid and is recreated on every start.

That also fixes the health probe reporting ovn-controller as not_running on a
healthy node. It shelled out to `sudo ovn-appctl`, which only spinifex-vpcd is
granted; as spinifex-daemon sudo demanded a password and the swallowed error read
as OVN being down. With the ctl socket group-owned the probe needs no privilege,
so health.go moves to a non-escalating Runner rather than the alternative of
granting the daemon a root-equivalent ovn-appctl rule to read a status.

ListIMDSTaps ran `list-ports` plus one `get` per patch port on vpcd's 15s tick,
so 1+N sudo invocations every tick, each one logging a pam_limits warning about
the core rlimit the unit deliberately pins to 0. It now issues a single JSON
query per pass, and the sudoers drop-in disables the PAM session for both service
users, which also leaves sudo children inheriting the unit's rlimits.

An absent iface-id on a patch port is now skipped with a warning instead of
aborting the pass: it is the only record of the full ENI, so such a port cannot
join the live set either way, and failing the pass stalled reconcile for every
healthy port behind it. A transient query failure still aborts.

* fix: group-own the OVS/OVN pidfiles too, and cover the ipsec ctl socket

Group-owning the ctl sockets was not enough for `ovn-appctl -t ovn-controller`:
it resolves the pid-named socket through the pidfile, and OVS opens that
O_RDWR to test the fcntl liveness lock, so a group-readable pidfile still fails
the probe with EACCES. The pidfiles now get the same 0660 root:spinifex, which
also tightens them from the 0644 they ship with.

openvswitch-ipsec joins the override list because setup-ovn.sh restarts it
after the sweep runs, leaving its ctl socket as the one file still at the
shipped mode.

Verified on the dev node: every socket and pidfile is 0660 root:spinifex and
survives a restart of all three units, an unprivileged user is refused, and
/health reports ovn-controller ok where the sudo probe read not_running.

* refactor: stop escalating the OVS/OVN socket clients

Now that setup-ovn.sh group-owns the control sockets, ovs-vsctl, ovs-appctl,
ovn-nbctl, ovn-sbctl, ovn-appctl and systemctl reach their daemons as the
service user. utils.NeedsPrivilege carries that policy and both command
builders consult it, so ip, iptables, dhcpcd, sysctl and arping still escalate
while the socket clients no longer do. Their sudoers grants are removed: each
took unrestricted args and all of them accept --log-file=PATH, so every one was
a root-equivalent grant handed out to run a query.

ovs-ofctl keeps its grant. It talks to a per-bridge <bridge>.mgmt socket that
ovs-vswitchd creates when the bridge appears, including bridges spinifex
creates at runtime, so the provisioning sweep cannot group-own it up front.
The NB and SB database sockets join the sweep for ovn-nbctl and ovn-sbctl.

vpcd carried its own sudoCommand copy that escalated unconditionally, bypassing
the policy entirely. It survived only because the grants existed and broke the
OVN flows-ready barrier the moment they were removed, so it now delegates to
utils.SudoCommand. TestRG10_SudoOnlyThroughThePolicy fails the build if another
package reintroduces a local copy.

Verified on the dev node: an instance launches, IMDS is served, the flows-ready
barrier completes, and no sudo denial appears anywhere in the journal.

* refactor: drop every spinifex-vpcd sudoers grant for ambient capabilities

vpcd held NOPASSWD grants for ip, iptables, sysctl and arping. The ip grant
alone was root-equivalent: sudoers cannot constrain its arguments, so
`sudo ip netns exec <ns> /bin/sh` was a root shell for the service account.

The unit already grants CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_NET_RAW ambiently, and the kernel
passes an ambient set to each child on exec, so those tools work as the service
user with no escalation at all. Verified on a live node: all sixteen ip
subcommands vpcd issues, plus iptables reads and writes, sysctl -w on the
net.ipv4.neigh tree, and arping, all succeed under exactly the unit's ambient
set. spinifex-vpcd now has no sudoers rules.

NeedsPrivilege had to become capability-aware to do this. spx is one binary
shared by both service units, and the daemon holds CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE but no CAP_NET_ADMIN, so a static tool list cannot express
"vpcd runs ip directly, the daemon escalates it". The decision now reads CapAmb
from /proc/self/status once and matches it against the capability each
invocation needs. sysctl is resolved per key, since CAP_NET_ADMIN covers the
net.* trees and nothing else.

The dhcpcd grants go too: neither daemon invokes it. Only setup-ovn.sh, which
runs as the provisioning user, and the in-guest ecs-agent.

TestRG10_VPCDHoldsNoSudoersGrant pins both halves together, so a future grant
cannot be re-added without also explaining why the capability stopped working.

* chore: restore routeTree.gen.ts swept in by mistake

* fix: probe ovn-controller with ovn-appctl, not ovs-appctl

checkOVNController's first probe passed a bare -t ovn-controller to ovs-appctl,
which resolves it against OVS_RUNDIR — /var/run/openvswitch. ovn-controller's
socket and pidfile are in /var/run/ovn, so the probe could never succeed and
logged "ovn-controller.pid: open: No such file or directory" on every check.

Not a functional break: the next probe globs the full /var/run/ovn path and
succeeds, so the function still returned nil. It cost an exec per check and
made a healthy node look like it was failing an OVN liveness probe.

ovn-appctl defaults OVS_RUNDIR to /var/run/ovn, so the common case now matches
first. The glob and systemctl fallbacks stay for older layouts.

Josh Siviour a0659ae7d0 fix: gate ovn-controller on SB RAFT readiness and force recompute (#599)
Single-node OVN RAFT bring-up gated only on the Northbound DB socket, then
restarted ovn-controller without waiting for the Southbound RAFT to elect a
leader, serve clients, and for northd to write the gateway logical flows. With
no join step to absorb the boot window the controller attached mid-election,
programmed a partial datapath (SNAT ct-commit without output/delivery) and
never reconverged, so NAT-GW egress and EIP ingress intermittently black-holed
on the single-node baremetal CI host.

Add an SB readiness gate before ovn-controller starts (SB reachable and, when
clustered, an elected leader), and after ovn-controller restart wait for its SB
connection then force inc-engine/recompute to rebuild all OpenFlow from the
converged Southbound. Applies to 1/2/3-node RAFT alike.

Josh Siviour e1c4f85a36 feat: routed-NAT external mode with two-tier ingress (#475)
* feat(network): add routed uplink mode, Routed wiring, and NAT egress rule helper

* feat(external): route gateway LRP over transit pool and install VPC SNAT in routed NAT mode

* feat(vpcd): support bridge_mode=nat (routed uplink, transit pool, egress rules)

* feat(daemon): register EIP handlers unconditionally with disabled-mode stub; seed default subnet per external mode

* feat(admin): support --external-mode=nat and suggest it for non-bridgeable uplinks

* feat(scripts): add --nat-uplink routed mode to setup-ovn.sh

* test(e2e): add routed-NAT single-node natuplink suite

Covers the external_mode=nat lane end to end on a nat-initialized node:
host transit wiring (veth, br-ext port, ip_forward, iptables egress
rules), spinifex.toml contents, disabled EIP surface (empty
describe-addresses, UnsupportedOperation on allocate), default subnet
MapPublicIpOnLaunch=false, OVN gateway LRP + VPC SNAT on the transit
/24, guest outbound egress proven via a serial-console probe (nat mode
has no inbound path), and unique transit gateway IPs across VPCs.

Suite self-gates on external_mode=nat; registered as e2e-natuplink and
in SUITES_BUILD so it compiles in CI. Manifest entry stays commented
until CI can provision a nat-mode environment.

* feat(ovn): Address_Set CRUD and NAT exempted_ext_ips column

Adds the exempted_ext_ips column (optional strong Address_Set ref) to the
nbdb NAT model, Address_Set ensure/get with wait-op create semantics, and an
in-place SetNATExemptedExtIPs update on the client interface, live client,
and mock. Test NB schema gains the column and covers insert-resolves-UUID,
converge, clear, and missing-NAT paths.

* feat(policy): exempt address set on routed SNAT/EIP rows

Adds WithSNATExemptSet so routed mode stamps exempted_ext_ips (the
spinifex_nat_exempt Address_Set: transit /24 plus operator extras) on IGW
snat and EIP dnat_and_snat rows, keeping VM replies to host-initiated flows
un-NATted. AddSNAT gains an idempotency guard keyed on (router, VPC CIDR)
with stale-IP replacement, and both AddSNAT and the AddEIP idempotent-skip
path patch the ref in place on pre-existing rows. The set is a singleton
strong ref and is never deleted. Non-routed modes are unchanged.

* feat(host): VPC ingress route primitives for routed-NAT mode

EnsureVPCIngressRoute / RemoveVPCIngressRoute manage the host route that
sends VPC-CIDR traffic into OVN via the gateway LRP transit IP on the
spx-nat veth. Replace/del semantics keep both idempotent; a missing route
on removal is not an error.

* feat(external): routed ingress leg on IGW attach/detach, reconcile-safe

AttachIGW's routed leg now also installs the host VPC ingress route via
RoutedIngressHooks, and re-runs on the already-attached path so the
reconcile loop restores host routes (and patches legacy SNAT exempt refs)
after a reboot — OVN state survives restarts but host routes do not.
DetachIGW removes the route alongside the SNAT. vpcd wires the hooks and
the spinifex_nat_exempt set (transit /24 + [network] nat_exempt_cidrs,
validated nat-mode-only) exclusively in routed-NAT mode; pool/veth/direct
pass nil hooks and are unchanged.

* test(natuplink): Tier 1 host-ingress phase; docs for jumpbox pattern

New Phase 7 asserts the automatic ingress tier: host route to the VPC CIDR
via the gateway LRP transit IP, exempted_ext_ips ref on the SNAT row
pointing at spinifex_nat_exempt (containing the transit /24), and — after
opening the SG from the transit net (default-closed, AWS parity) — ping and
an sshd TCP handshake against the instance private IP from the host, which
proves the un-SNATted return path. Phase 8 additionally waits for the
second VPC's ingress route to appear on IGW attach. vpc-networking README
documents the jumpbox pattern, SG note, and nat_exempt_cidrs.

* feat(config,admin): public wan pool alongside nat-transit

Restructure admin config generation from single-pool scalars to a Pools
slice so nat mode can emit both the transit pool and an optional public
wan pool. nat mode now accepts --external-pool/--external-source (plus
--external-bind-bridge/--gateway-ip when a public pool is requested),
validated by the shared resolvePublicPoolFlags helper also used by pool
mode. Transit pool always renders first so the IGW allocator picks it.
Formation wire format unchanged (nat mode is single-node only).

* feat(daemon): enable EIP service and auto-assign in nat mode with public pool

External IPAM (and with it the real EIP service, RunInstances public IP
auto-assign, and MapPublicIpOnLaunch on default subnets) now activates
whenever public pools exist: pool mode as before, plus nat mode when a
wan pool rides alongside the transit segment. The transit pool is
filtered out of IPAM — its addresses are gateway-LRP plumbing, never
allocatable EIPs. Transit-only nat configs keep the disabled EIP stub.

* feat(host): per-EIP ingress primitives for routed-NAT mode

DetectUplinkFor parses ip route get to find the interface and source IP
facing the pool gateway (re-run per ensure: WiFi/cellular uplinks move).
EnsureEIPIngress steers an EIP into OVN with a /32 route via the VPC
gateway LRP transit IP (src-hinted so host-local traffic still DNATs),
answers ARP for the EIP with a proxy neighbor entry (L3 only, same MAC,
WiFi-safe), sends gratuitous ARP, and adds per-EIP FORWARD accepts for
DROP-policy hosts. RemoveEIPIngress mirrors; missing state tolerated.

* feat(policy,vpcd): host EIP binder option on NATManager

WithHostEIPBinder injects routed-mode host plumbing hooks. AddEIP binds
after priming on both the fresh-add and idempotent-skip paths (host
routes and proxy-ARP are volatile even when the OVN row survives, so
reconcile re-ensures them after reboot); DeleteEIP unbinds best-effort.
The next hop comes from the new gatewayPortIP helper reading the gateway
LRP's stamped spinifex:gateway_ip (Networks fallback), with the ext-ID
key now an exported policy const shared with the external package.

vpcd selects the IGW pool by name instead of index — with two pools in
nat mode the gateway allocator must stay on the transit pool — and wires
the binder over host.EnsureEIPIngress/RemoveEIPIngress when a public
pool is present. EnsureEIPIngress gains an uplink hint so dhcp-sourced
pools (gateway unknown until lease) proxy-ARP on their bind bridge.

* feat(dhcp): interface-MAC lease variant with MAC-keyed-router detection

dhcp_mac = "derived" (default) | "interface" on external pools. The
interface variant leases with the bind interface's own MAC — WiFi/WWAN
uplinks drop frames with foreign source MACs, so derived chaddr MACs
never complete DORA there. Option 61 stays the lease discriminator.
UseIfaceMAC threads AllocateRequest → NATS wire → nclient4 → lease and
persists through KV so restart re-acquires repeat it.

Routers that key leases on MAC and ignore client-id would hand every
lease the same IP; the manager detects an ACK matching the interface's
own address or another client-id's live lease, releases the colliding
lease, and hard-errors advising a static range instead.

admin init auto-writes dhcp_mac="interface" for nat-mode public dhcp
pools bound to non-bridgeable uplinks (wlan/wwan/ppp).

* test(natuplink)+docs: Tier 2 EIP ingress e2e phases and public-pool docs

The natuplink suite now detects a public (non-transit) pool in spinifex.toml
and switches lanes: Tier-1-only configs keep the EIP-disabled and
no-public-IP assertions; public-pool configs assert the EIP surface is
enabled, the default subnet has MapPublicIpOnLaunch=true, instances
auto-assign public IPs, and a new Phase 9 exercises the full EIP ingress
lifecycle — host /32 route via the gateway LRP, proxy-ARP on the uplink,
per-EIP FORWARD accepts, exempt-stamped dnat_and_snat, TCP handshake to the
EIP, reconcile replay across a vpcd restart, and teardown on disassociate.

Docs: vpc-networking README gains a public-pool section for routed-NAT nodes
(init flags, dhcp_mac=interface behaviour, host-to-EIP caveat) and an updated
mode comparison; COMMANDS.md notes nat-mode EIP support behind a public pool.

* fix(setup): whitelist iptables, neigh sysctl, and arping for spinifex-vpcd

Routed-NAT mode shells out to iptables for the transit masquerade and
per-EIP FORWARD accepts, tunes proxy_delay, and sends gratuitous ARP for
host-delivered EIPs. Without these sudoers entries vpcd crash-loops with
"command not allowed" on nat-mode nodes.

* fix(ovn): scope DeleteStaticRoute prefix match to the target router

Every VPC router carries a 0.0.0.0/0 static route, so an unscoped cache
match could grab another router's row and fail with a referential
integrity violation, wedging IGW attach on multi-VPC nodes. Match only
rows referenced by the target router, mirroring FindStaticRoute. Mock
updated to the same semantics, with a regression test covering drift
replacement across two routers.

* fix(reconcile): always replay AttachIGW so host ingress state is re-ensured

applyIGWs skipped AttachIGW whenever the gateway switch port existed in
actual state, so the already-attached re-ensure path never ran and
routed-NAT host ingress routes lost on reboot were never reinstalled.
AttachIGW is idempotent; run it unconditionally.

* fix(vpcd): resolve duplicate-CIDR host ingress route collisions, bootstrap VPC wins

Every account's default VPC shares 172.31.0.0/16, so Tier-1 host routes
collide on the single host route table and the last IGW attach silently
stole the route (route replace). Pass vpcID and the gateway LRP IP
through RoutedIngressHooks; the bootstrap VPC always installs its route,
other VPCs only install when the CIDR is free and only remove a route
their own gateway IP holds. Adds host.VPCIngressRouteVia to read the
current route holder.

* ci(e2e): add nightly cell 19 for routed-NAT single-node suite

Cell 19 bootstraps with --external-mode=nat plus the CI static pool as
the public wan pool and runs the natuplink suite, covering the Tier-1
transit datapath and Tier-2 EIP ingress. The run step exits 0 when
natuplink.test is absent from the tests tar so scheduled runs against
branches predating the suite stay green.

* fix(admin): nat-mode init summary reflects configured public pool

The summary printed 'outbound-only — no public IPs/EIPs' even when
--external-pool/--external-source configured a public wan pool. Print
the pool range (or dhcp bind) and note EIPs are enabled.

* fix(eip,vpc): thread ctx through disabled EIP stub and NAT call sites

Reconcile the routed-NAT branch with dev's ctx-first service APIs after
rebase: DisabledEIPService and its tests take ctx to satisfy the EIPService
interface, the vm_adapters public-IP resolver asserts the ctx-signed
AssociatedPublicIPForInstance, and the default-subnet mapping test threads
ctx into DescribeSubnets.

Josh Siviour da33e574d4 fix: OVN RAFT multi-node bring-up (northd member list, ExecStop, add-nat deadline) (#466)
* fix: repoint DB-node ovn-northd at RAFT member list; extend add-nat deadline

Two related fixes for multi-node OVN clusters:

- setup-ovn.sh (mulga-siv-504): in the clustered --management branch, point
  ovn-northd's client NB/SB connections at the full RAFT member list derived
  from OVN_REMOTE, so the active northd follows the leader instead of dialing
  its local member only. Without this, northd stops advancing SB_Global.nb_cfg
  once leadership moves off the node, wedging the ovn-nbctl --wait=hv barrier.
  Guarded on a real member list so the standalone single-DB-node path is
  unchanged.

- utils/nats.go (mulga-js-206): raise the add-nat request deadline from 10s to
  45s so the client no longer rolls back before the server-side --wait=hv flows
  barrier (30s) completes.

* fix: stop ovn-northd restart from tearing down split NB/SB ovsdb servers

The packaged ovn-northd.service ExecStop runs 'ovn-ctl stop_northd' without
--ovn-manage-ovsdb=no, so restarting northd to apply OVN_CTL_OPTS also stops the
separately-managed NB/SB ovsdb-server units. On a clean clustered bring-up this
races the freshly-started DBs and kills them, so setup-ovn's wait for the NB
socket times out and the RAFT create/join aborts. Install an ovn-northd.service
drop-in overriding ExecStop with --ovn-manage-ovsdb=no so northd never touches
the DB lifecycle (mulga-siv-504).

Josh Siviour 0823bf8c16 feat: OVN OVSDB RAFT clustering for multinode Spinifex (epic mulga-siv-486) (#458)
* feat: add OVSDB RAFT cluster primitives to setup-ovn.sh

Add --db-cluster-local-addr / --db-cluster-remote-addr flags so a
management node can run the OVN NB/SB databases as a native OVSDB RAFT
cluster instead of a single non-clustered ovn-central. When a local addr
is given, write a shared OVN_CTL_OPTS to /etc/default/ovn-central (NB
RAFT 6643 / SB RAFT 6644) and restart the per-DB units directly, since
the ovn-central aggregator is ExecStart=/bin/true and won't restart its
children. Empty remote addr creates the cluster (init node); a set remote
addr joins it. NB/SB client set-connection runs only on the create node
(RAFT replicates it cluster-wide).

The single-node --management path is unchanged when no cluster addrs are
supplied, so dev boxes and existing single-node clusters keep working.
--ovn-remote already passes through verbatim, so a comma-separated SB
endpoint list works for compute nodes; documented in usage.

* feat: OVN client multi-endpoint failover for RAFT clusters

Accept a comma-separated OVN NB/SB endpoint list so vpcd can target a
clustered DB. config.ParseEndpoints splits the list (trimming whitespace,
dropping empties); live.go Connect passes one libovsdb WithEndpoint per
endpoint, so the client tries them in order, fails over on disconnect, and
follows RAFT leader redirects. Single-endpoint strings still yield one
endpoint, so single-node dev is unchanged.

ovn-sbctl --db= already accepts the raw comma list, so the SB CLI
consumers (discoverChassis, gateway_claim) need no change.

* feat: write clustered OVN NB/SB endpoints across the RAFT quorum

spx admin init/join now emit comma-separated OVN NB/SB endpoint lists for
the first three quorum nodes (formation.BuildOVNDBAddrs) instead of loopback
or a single leader address, so vpcd fails over across the cluster.

firstboot defers OVN bring-up to the provisioning controller when it owns
formation (SkipFormation): a standalone single-node .db would otherwise block
the controller's clustered create/join.

* test: add multinode OVN RAFT cluster + failover e2e; document clustered topology

ovn_raft_test.go asserts NB/SB cluster/status reports a 3-server quorum with
one leader on every DB node, then stops the NB leader's ovn-central and proves
an NB write still lands via a surviving endpoint.

Docs: vpc-networking gains the multi-endpoint vpcd config and a RAFT
cluster-status debugging section; network-connections lists the 6643/6644 RAFT
ports.

Josh Siviour fd3dc6b680 feat(network): ADR-0006 layer redesign + IPsec/OVN hardening (#255)
* refactor(vpcd): remove macvlan bridge mode

Macvlan was a single-NIC SSH-safe hack that predated veth mode and was
never selected by any active config path. Deletion is Phase 0 item 1 of
the network layer redesign (mulga-siv-125.1).

Removed:
- BridgeModeMacvlan const + setMacvlanMAC + ifaceIsMacvlan probe
- Macvlan MAC alignment block in launchService (only fired on dead path)
- Macvlan branch in detectBridgeMode + matching tests
- Macvlan duplicates of IGW/AddNAT centralized-NAT tests (veth versions
  already cover the same path)
- --macvlan flag + macvlan case branch in setup-ovn.sh

Refactored:
- useCentralizedNAT() now == BridgeModeVeth (was != BridgeModeDirect);
  verifyBridgeMode already rejects empty/unknown at startup
- Three IGW-pool tests now explicitly WithBridgeMode(BridgeModeVeth)
  (previously relied on empty-mode defaulting to centralized)

Kept intentionally:
- Deprecation notes in docs/compute/vpc-networking/README.md
- Legacy macvlan-interface cleanup in reset-dev-env.sh + ansible
  teardown role (migration for operator systems with stale spx-ext-*
  interfaces from pre-veth installs)

* feat(vpcd): resolve external CIDR at startup with bounded retry

Block service start until the WAN bridge has an IPv4 address, with a 30s
retry window. Phase 0 item 2 of the network layer redesign
(mulga-siv-125.1). Guards the boot race where vpcd starts before
systemd-networkd finishes DHCP on br-wan, or before netplan applies a
static config.

Skipped when ExternalMode is empty (overlay-only deployments).

Forward-compatible with ADR-0006: the new resolveExternalCIDR /
externalCIDRFromBridge helpers become the backing implementation of
HostWiring.ExternalCIDR() once the network/host package lands in Phase 1.
Until then the resolved value is only used to fail-start on missing
uplink.

* fix(vpcd): cover external CIDR startup paths

Extract launchService's CIDR-resolve block to ensureExternalCIDRReady
helper so it's unit-testable, and add direct tests for
externalCIDRFromBridge (loopback + unknown-interface) to exercise the
original literal body. Closes the diff-coverage gap on Phase 0 commit
15b564d which left these paths unreachable from unit tests.

* refactor(network/ovn): extract L1 OVN client to network/ovn package

Move OVNClient interface, LiveOVNClient, ACLSpec, ErrNATNotFound and
namedUUID helper from services/vpcd to a new spinifex/network/ovn
package. The mock relocates to spinifex/network/ovn/mock as a
sub-package. Storage fields on the mock become exported so vpcd tests
can continue to seed/inspect state across the new package boundary.

services/vpcd retains thin type-alias and var-alias shims so existing
callers compile unchanged; Phase 2 removes those shims as vpcd is torn
down.

Adds -coverpkg=./spinifex/... to test-cover so cross-package test
exercise of mock methods continues to count toward coverage now that
the mock lives outside vpcd.

First sub-step of Phase 1 of docs/development/feature/spinifex-network-redesign.md
(bead mulga-siv-125.2). Pure refactor; no functional change. All
existing tests pass; preflight green.

* feat(network/topology): TopologyManager interface + vpcd adapter

Add spinifex/network/topology with Manager interface, VPC/Subnet/Port
specs, and OVN object naming helpers covering the L2 stable contract
(§7 of the redesign plan). Phase 1 keeps existing in-tree OVN names
(rtr-, ext-port-, sg_) and notes the §7.3 targets for a later
reconciliation migration.

TopologyHandler in services/vpcd grows EnsureVPC / DeleteVPC /
EnsureSubnet / DeleteSubnet / EnsurePort / DeletePort /
SetPortSecurityGroups methods that mirror the corresponding NATS
handlers' OVN ops with Spec inputs instead of nats.Msg envelopes,
satisfying topology.Manager via a compile-time check. Existing handlers
are unchanged; the duplication is short-lived (Phase 2 collapses them).

Smoke tests in topology_manager_test.go cover the idempotent create
path, delete cascade, and declarative SG membership move. Deliverable:
TopologyManager.EnsureVPC/Subnet/Port callable; all existing tests
green.

Second sub-step of Phase 1 of docs/development/feature/spinifex-network-redesign.md
(bead mulga-siv-125.2).

* feat(network/host): L0 HostWiring interface + physical/veth impls

Phase 1 deliverable for mulga-siv-125.2. Introduces network/host (L0 of
ADR-0006): UplinkMode enum, Wiring interface, and Physical/Veth
implementations with injectable Runner + InterfaceReader for testability.
Not yet wired into daemon/vpcd — Phase 2 replaces daemon.SetupComputeNode
and vpcd's resolveExternalCIDR with calls through this package.

* feat(network/policy): L3 SecurityGroup/NAT/Route managers

Introduce network/policy as the data-plane policy layer (ADR-0006 L3).
Three managers, all backed by network/ovn:

- SecurityGroupManager: clear+add ACL replacement on an existing port
  group; port group lifecycle stays with L2 (topology.Manager).
- NATManager: bound to one NATMode at construction (derived from
  host.UplinkMode). Distributed sets logical_port/external_mac on EIP
  dnat_and_snat rules; centralised leaves them unset. Per-EIP, NAT GW,
  and IGW-default SNAT entrypoints; all deletes idempotent.
- RouteManager: AddStaticRoute is read-then-decide so retries no longer
  duplicate rows (closing the long-standing non-idempotency bug in
  vpcd/topology.go's IGW default-route path).

ACL priority constants and infrastructure ACL builders move from
vpcd/{security,acl}.go into policy/acl.go with their semantics preserved
(default-deny 900/800 logged, DHCP-allow 1050, tenant 1000). No vpcd
wiring changes here — additive only; the reconciler (bead .3.2) and
network/external (bead .3.4) will consume these managers.

bead: mulga-siv-125.3.1

* feat(network/external): L5 IGW/EIP/NATGW managers

Pure additive — new package, no topology.Manager changes, no rewiring of
existing vpcd handlers. IGWManager builds the external switch + localnet +
gateway LRP + default route + chassis HA, with a flows barrier callers can
inject (production: ovn-nbctl --wait=hv sync). EIP/NATGW are thin L5
wrappers over policy.NATManager. GatewayIPAllocator interface lets the
DHCP-backed allocator stay in vpcd until the DHCP-mgr removal bead lands;
LinkLocalAllocator + StaticRangeAllocator ship here.

* feat(network/reconcile): L6 intent-actual reconciler replaces 5-pass startup

Build spinifex/spinifex/network/reconcile/ package per Phase 2.2 of the
network layer redesign. Reads desired state from NATS KV filtered by
vpc.AZ (with legacy empty-AZ matches-all rule), scans actual state from
OVN NB DB, diffs and applies with VPC → Subnet → Port → SG → IGW →
EIP/NATGW topological ordering.

Atomic port-group join via CreateLogicalSwitchPortInGroups closes the
racy gap the legacy scanENIPortMembership pass used to revive 30s later.
A 5-minute drift goroutine (leader-gated via JetStream KV CAS) replaces
the old 30s ReconcileSGsLoop.

Adds AZ field to VPCRecord stamped at create time. Empty AZ on pre-Phase
2.2 records matches every local AZ, so no migration pass is required.

Replaces and removes the 5-pass startup sequence in services/vpcd:
  - Reconcile + ReconcileFromKV
  - ReconcileSGsOnce + ReconcileSGsLoop
  - RetrofitAllExternalLocalnetOptions
  - RetrofitAllGatewayPortNetworks

IGW fresh-create continues to flow through the legacy NATS handler path
(handleIGWAttach) so the dhcpManager wiring stays intact until Phase
2.3; the reconciler only rebinds gateway-chassis on existing IGW
topology.

Closes mulga-siv-125.3.2.

* refactor(network/topology): promote live Manager impl to network/topology

Move the topology.Manager implementation out of services/vpcd/topology_manager.go
into network/topology/manager_live.go as a standalone liveManager constructed
via NewLiveManager(ovn.Client, opts...). Inputs that varied per-handler
(DNS server resolution from the external pool) are now passed as functional
options (WithDNSServer).

TopologyHandler still satisfies topology.Manager but its methods delegate
to a cached liveManager. The shim stays until the rest of mulga-siv-129
routes NATS subscribers through topology.Manager directly.

Also exports SubnetGatewayCIDR + FormatDNSServerList from network/topology
so the reconciler in network/reconcile can share helpers with the live
manager (audit pass to follow per plan §6).

Test cases ported one-for-one from services/vpcd/topology_manager_test.go
to network/topology/manager_live_test.go; the vpcd-side test file is
deleted. New WithDNSServer test asserts the option propagates into
DHCPOptions rows.

Refs mulga-siv-129 (Phase 2.6 vpcd subscriber migration, Slice 1 of N).

* refactor(vpcd): collapse SG subscribers onto network/{topology,policy} managers

Phase 2.6 / mulga-siv-129 slice 2. Rewrites the vpc.create-sg /
vpc.update-sg / vpc.delete-sg NATS subscribers in services/vpcd as
thin wrappers over topology.Manager (port group lifecycle) and
policy.SecurityGroupManager (ACL programming). Deletes the ~1000
lines of duplicated ACL builder and provisioning logic — its
authoritative copy lives in network/policy.

Surface additions:

- ovn.ErrPortGroupNotFound sentinel; mock + live GetPortGroup wrap
  not-found via fmt.Errorf("%w: ...") so callers can use errors.Is.
- topology.Manager grows EnsureSGPortGroup / DeleteSGPortGroup
  (resolves the apply.go TODO from §2.1 of the redesign plan).
  liveManager implements them with GetPortGroup-then-Create /
  GetPortGroup-then-Clear+Delete idempotency.

Behaviour delta: the old provisionSG rolled back the OVN port group
on AddACLs failure ("all-or-nothing"). The new path lets the port
group survive and relies on network/reconcile to retry EnsureSG on
its next sweep. The all-or-nothing fail-fast test cases are dropped;
ACL emission semantics are covered by network/policy/sg_test.go.

* refactor(vpcd): migrate VPC/Subnet/ENI subscribers to topology.Manager

Phase 2.6 / mulga-siv-129 slice 3. Rewrites vpc.create / vpc.delete /
vpc.create-subnet / vpc.delete-subnet / vpc.create-port /
vpc.delete-port / vpc.update-port-sgs NATS subscribers as thin
wrappers (≤30 lines each) over topology.Manager. Subscriber bodies
now: parse event → translate to spec → delegate to manager.

Deletes:

- vpcd.subnetGateway (and helpers_test.go + topology_test.go's
  TestSubnetGateway block); parity coverage lives in
  network/topology.TestSubnetGatewayCIDR.
- vpcd.reconcilePortSGs (the live manager already exposes the same
  diff-then-transact via reconcilePortSGs on the L2 side).
- vpcd.TopologyHandler.dnsServer; lmDNSServer (passed via
  topology.WithDNSServer to the live manager) is the live path.

Behaviour delta: handlers now strict-parse PrivateIpAddress /
MacAddress / CidrBlock at the NATS boundary and reject malformed
payloads instead of degrading to "no DHCP options". The reconciler
guarantees that field validity is upheld upstream of the publish.

* refactor(network/reconcile): drive SG port groups via topology.Manager

applySGs now calls topology.Manager.EnsureSGPortGroup /
DeleteSGPortGroupByName instead of reaching directly into the OVN client.
Reconcile.Config gains a Topology field (required); the production caller
in services/vpcd passes the TopologyHandler shim, the reconcile package
tests construct a fresh topology.NewLiveManager bound to the mock OVN
client.

DeleteSGPortGroupByName is added to the topology.Manager interface for the
reconciler's orphan-removal path, which iterates raw OVN port-group names
without a groupID round-trip. The existing DeleteSGPortGroup(groupID)
delegates to it.

Resolves the TODO at apply.go:137 carried over from slice 2 of
mulga-siv-129.

* feat(network/policy): add FlowsBarrier option to NATManager

NATManager.AddEIP needs to block on `ovn-nbctl --wait=hv sync` after
writing the dnat_and_snat row so the NATS reply only returns once every
chassis has the rewrite flow. The legacy vpc.add-nat handler does this at
the tail of handleAddNAT; the manager has lacked it since slice 2.1.

NewNATManager grows a functional-options tail (Option / WithFlowsBarrier).
Defaults to a no-op for tests; production wiring in services/vpcd passes
waitForFlowsHV. AddEIP now invokes the barrier after AddNAT, logging at
warn level on failure to match the legacy handler's _ = waitForFlowsHV()
swallowing semantics.

Pre-work for slice 4 of mulga-siv-129 — without the barrier the NAT EIP
subscriber migration would lose the post-write flow-install gate.

* refactor(vpcd): migrate NAT GW subscribers to policy.NATManager

handleAddNATGateway / handleDeleteNATGateway now decode the NATS event
and delegate to policy.NATManager.{AddNATGateway,DeleteNATGateway}. The
manager carries identical OVN logic — same snat type, same ExternalIDs
(spinifex:vpc_id + spinifex:nat_gateway_id) — so existing
TestTopologyHandler_AddNATGateway / DeleteNATGateway suites stay green.

Lazy-constructed NATManager added on TopologyHandler (natmOnce). Mode is
derived from the bridge mode (veth → centralized, direct → distributed)
and the FlowsBarrier is bound to waitForFlowsHV for parity with the
legacy EIP path's tail barrier (used by the next slice, vpc.add-nat).

Slice 4 of mulga-siv-129, sub-step b.

* refactor(vpcd): migrate EIP NAT subscribers to policy.NATManager

handleAddNAT / handleDeleteNAT now decode the NATS event and delegate to
policy.NATManager.{AddEIP,DeleteEIP}. The behavioural contract is
preserved end-to-end:

- Idempotency-skip on a matching dnat_and_snat row (same VPC + LogicalIP,
  plus MAC + LogicalPort under distributed NAT) moves into AddEIP so
  duplicate vpc.add-nat publishes never tear down the rule the previous
  invocation just installed (mulga-siv-124).
- Stale-rule cleanup across every router stays in AddEIP.
- Post-write waitForFlowsHV barrier is now driven by the manager via the
  FlowsBarrier option wired in services/vpcd (slice 4a).
- DeleteEIP returns nil on ErrNATNotFound, matching the handler's
  fire-and-forget "already absent = success" semantic.

The vpcd "errors" import drops out with the inline error-comparison.

Slice 4 of mulga-siv-129, sub-step c.

* refactor(vpcd): migrate IGW subscribers to external.IGWManager (partial)

handleIGWAttach now branches at decode time:
- Centralised NAT + DHCP-sourced pool keeps using attachIGWLegacy because
  the gateway-LRP IP comes from vpc.dhcp.acquire, and that DHCP client is
  the vpcd-local manager that bead mulga-siv-125.3.3 will retire.
- All other shapes (distributed NAT, static-range pool, no pool)
  delegate to external.IGWManager.AttachIGW. The manager mirrors every
  step the legacy handler ran — external switch + localnet port +
  gateway LRP + switch-side router peer + default route + chassis HA +
  waitForFlowsHV tail barrier — so observable behaviour is unchanged.

handleIGWDetach drops its inline OVN walk entirely; both paths exit
through external.IGWManager.DetachIGW followed by releaseGatewayLRPLease.
The lease release stays in vpcd because the upstream client lives in
services/vpcd/dhcp; calling it after every detach is safe because the
upstream server expires unknown leases on its own.

Lazy-constructed IGWManager added on TopologyHandler (igwmOnce). Pool,
allocator (StaticRangeAllocator), chassis, NAT mode, NAT manager, route
manager, and FlowsBarrier are all derived from the existing
TopologyHandler state.

The DHCP-coupled legacy branch retains its full inline OVN logic; it
will disappear in slice-after-125.3.3 follow-on. Slice 4 of
mulga-siv-129, sub-step d.

* feat(ec2/instance): honor AssociatePublicIpAddress per-NIC override

RunInstances --network-interfaces "AssociatePublicIpAddress=true|false"
was silently ignored, only subnet.MapPublicIpOnLaunch gated public IP
assignment. AWS contract is per-NIC override wins.

Extend TestPrepareRunInstances_PublicIPAutoAssigned to table-driven
3 cases: subnet true no-override, subnet false override true, subnet
true override false.

* refactor(config): drop upstream-DHCP config surface (static WAN pool only)

Hard-error in LoadConfig on legacy keys: [network] external_dhcp,
[nodes.<n>.vpcd] dhcp_bind_bridge, and [[network.external_pools]]
source = "dhcp". Add pool range validation (must fit inside the
gateway/prefix_len CIDR; per-cluster non-overlap).

Strip ExternalDHCP from config.NetworkConfig + formation.NetworkConfig
+ admin.ConfigSettings, and DhcpBindBridge from config.VPCDConfig +
admin.ConfigSettings + vpcd.Config. vpcd.ExternalPoolConfig.IsDHCP()
short-circuits to false; the field and downstream DHCP branches in
external_ipam / topology.go remain for Slice C to delete together with
dhcp_manager.

cmd/spinifex/cmd/admin.go: drop useExternalDHCP path and the
detectedDhcpBindBridge helper; require --external-pool when
--external-mode=pool; auto-detect default no longer infers source=dhcp.

service.go's wan_bridge legacy-key rejection now advises removing the
key entirely (vpcd auto-detects br-wan), not renaming to
dhcp_bind_bridge.

Two topology_test cases that exercise the DHCP gateway-LRP path are
skipped — Slice C deletes attachIGWLegacy and these tests together.

* refactor(vpcd): delete dhcp_manager + DHCP gateway-LRP path (Slice C)

Removes upstream-DHCP-client gateway-LRP allocation in favor of static
WAN-pool allocation (StaticRangeAllocator). Part of bead mulga-siv-125.3.3.

- delete services/vpcd/dhcp_manager.go + dhcp/ subpackage (~865 lines)
- delete allocateGatewayLRPIPViaDHCP + releaseGatewayLRPLease paths
- drop ExternalPoolConfig.Source + DhcpBindBridge + IsDHCP() fields
- drop ExternalIPAllocation lease fields (Expiry/ServerID/HWAddr) and
  ExternalIPAMRecord.Source
- drop NewExternalIPAM nc *nats.Conn argument; update all 4 call sites
- rename verifyBridgeMode local dhcpBindBridge -> wanBridge; update error
  strings and tests

Slice D (delete attachIGWLegacy + dispatcher) intentionally deferred.

* refactor(vpcd): delete attachIGWLegacy + IsDHCP stub (Slice D)

Closes mulga-siv-129 slice 4d. Part of bead mulga-siv-125.3.3.

handleIGWAttach now unconditionally delegates to external.IGWManager.
attachIGWLegacy (~207 lines, ~5 OVN write steps + chassis scheduling)
deleted along with its dispatcher branch in handleIGWAttach. The
ExternalPoolConfig.IsDHCP() dead stub is gone.

No code paths or NATS subjects regress: the static-pool / distributed
branches were already going through external.IGWManager since Slice 4d
(6719dc3).

* feat(ipam): Purpose field on every IPAM record (Slice B)

Part of bead mulga-siv-125.3.3.

Adds a Purpose enum (handlers/ec2/vpc/purpose.go) tagging every IP
allocation with its semantic role (eni-primary, eni-public, eip,
igw-lrp, natgw-external, …) so multi-VPC clusters can reclaim/audit
by (owner, purpose).

External IPAM (spinifex-external-ipam, v1→v2):
- ExternalIPAllocation.Type → .Purpose; legacy values mapped via
  LegacyExternalTypeToPurpose (gateway→igw-lrp, auto_assign→eni-public,
  elastic_ip→eip). Unknown legacy values warn and become "unknown".
- AllocateIP / AllocateFromPool / allocateFromPool param rename
  allocType→purpose. All call sites pass Purpose* constants.
- migrate/002_external_ipam_purpose.go: idempotent CAS-retry migration
  with v1/v2-union record shape so partial migrations resume cleanly.

Internal IPAM (spinifex-vpc-ipam, v1→v2):
- IPAMRecord.Allocated []string → []IPEntry{IP, Purpose, OwnerID}.
- AllocateIP gains purpose+ownerID args; ReleaseIP unchanged (still
  keyed on IP).
- AllocatedIPs returns []IPEntry.
- eni.go reorders eniId generation before AllocateIP so the owning
  resource ID lands on the new entry.
- migrate/003_ipam_purpose.go: cross-bucket backfill that reads the
  ENI bucket via the new RunKVWithJetStream path. Orphaned IPs
  (no owning ENI) warn and become Purpose=unknown.

Migrate framework:
- KVContext gains an optional JetStream field; new
  Registry.RunKVWithJetStream method threads it through. RunKV
  signature unchanged — all other callers are unaffected.

Tests:
- ipam_test.go: AllocateIP signature updates; AllocatedIPs now asserts
  IP / Purpose / OwnerID on the returned entries.
- external_ipam_test.go: replaces "auto_assign"/"elastic_ip" literals
  with PurposeENIPublic/PurposeEIP and asserts alloc.Purpose.
- migrate/002 + 003 tests: schema-detect, idempotent rerun,
  no-JetStream fallback, empty bucket.

* refactor(daemon): tombstone obsolete spinifex-dhcp-leases KV bucket

The dhcp_manager removed in Phase 2.3 (bead mulga-siv-125.3.3) owned the
spinifex-dhcp-leases KV bucket. The migrate framework only handles
per-bucket schema version bumps, not bucket deletion, so the obsolete
bucket would linger on upgraded clusters.

Add a one-shot tombstone after initJetStream that deletes the bucket if
present. DeleteKVBucketIfExists treats ErrBucketNotFound and
ErrStreamNotFound as success, so the call is idempotent across restarts.

* feat(config): add network.ipsec_enabled cluster flag (default true)

Add IPSecEnabled to NetworkConfig in both the cluster TOML schema and
the formation handshake payload. Default true so AWS-parity intra-AZ
encryption is on by default. Operators can flip false in
[network] for trusted single-rack lab topologies.

Phase 2.5 (bead mulga-siv-125.3.5) consumes the flag from admin init
(strongSwan provisioning), formation server (propagates to joiners),
and daemon startup (ovs-vsctl ipsec_encapsulation toggle).

* feat(admin): IPsec peer cert generator signed by cluster CA

Add GenerateIPSecPeerCert + IPSecCertPaths in spinifex/admin so admin
init (and the future admin add-node path) can issue per-node IKEv2 peer
credentials signed by the existing cluster CA. The cert carries
id-kp-ipsecIKE (RFC 4945) so strongSwan accepts it as an IKEv2 peer
credential when ovs-monitor-ipsec materialises tunnel configs.

Cluster CA is reused directly — no intermediate strongSwan PKI today;
when intermediate CAs land that becomes a separate workstream.

The cert/key pair lives under {configDir}/ipsec/peer.{pem,key}; the
daemon points OVS Open_vSwitch.other_config (certificate, private_key,
ca_cert) at these paths when network.ipsec_enabled is true.

* feat(admin): wire IPsec peer cert into admin init + join paths

Add --ipsec bool flag (default true) on adminInitCmd. Single-node init
and the multi-node leader path both emit an IPsec peer cert after the
existing CA+server-cert generation. The multi-node formation server
propagates the IPSecEnabled flag to joining nodes via NetworkConfig;
admin join honours it and emits its own peer cert during the same
cert-issuance step that already produces the server cert.

spinifex.toml template gains an unconditional [network] block carrying
ipsec_enabled so the value is visible to operators on every install
regardless of whether external networking is configured. The daemon
reads it via cluster config (NetworkConfig.IPSecEnabled).

Bead mulga-siv-125.3.5.

* build: install openvswitch-ipsec for OVN native IPsec

openvswitch-ipsec provides ovs-monitor-ipsec, which reads the
Open_vSwitch.other_config cert/key/CA pointers and materialises
strongSwan configs for every Geneve tunnel managed by ovn-controller.
Pulls in strongswan + strongswan-pki as transitive deps.

Required by bead mulga-siv-125.3.5.

* feat(daemon): enable OVN native IPsec on intra-AZ Geneve at startup

When network.ipsec_enabled is true (default), the daemon points the
local OVS DB other_config at the per-node IPsec peer cert that admin
init / admin join provisioned (configDir/ipsec/peer.{pem,key} + the
cluster CA at configDir/ca.pem), then sets
other_config:ipsec_encapsulation=true.

ovs-monitor-ipsec (shipped by the openvswitch-ipsec package) consumes
those pointers and materialises strongSwan configs for every Geneve
tunnel ovn-controller programs — including OVN-IC inter-AZ tunnels
when federation lands in Phase 3a.

Missing cert files log a warning and leave Geneve plaintext; operators
upgrading an older cluster reissue certs via spx admin to close the
gap.

Bead mulga-siv-125.3.5.

* test(e2e): multinode IPsec wiring + xfrm SAs + ESP capture

TestMultinodeIPSec asserts:
- OVS DB on every node carries certificate/private_key/ca_cert pointers
  and other_config:ipsec_encapsulation=true (what daemon.enableOVNIPSec
  writes).
- ip xfrm state on every node has at least one AEAD SA in AES-GCM mode
  (rfc4106(gcm(aes)) or gcm(aes)) within 90s.
- tcpdump catches ESP (ip proto 50) on the underlay (best-effort —
  logged only; geneve may be idle during the 5s capture window).

Skips cleanly when the cluster was bootstrapped with --ipsec=false
(no ipsec_encapsulation key on first node).

Read-only over SSH; runs in the parallel bucket alongside the other
non-mutating multinode tests.

* fix(igw): write attachment State="attached" for AWS parity

Reconciler intent loader (network/reconcile/intent.go::loadIGWs) filters
IGW records with `State == "attached"`, but AttachInternetGateway was
writing `State = "available"`. The reconciler therefore never picked up
any attached IGW — `intent_igws=0` on every pass — so the OVN external
switch + gateway LRP + WAN bridge wiring built by IGWManager.AttachIGW
never ran for default-VPC IGWs (whose live `vpc.igw-attach` publish at
daemon bootstrap is lost — vpcd subscriber not yet wired).

Net effect on single-node e2e: every SSH probe to 192.168.x public IPs
timed out (TestSSHProbe, TestModifyInstanceAttribute, TestRebootInstance,
TestNATGateway, TestSGToSGDatapath) because SNAT/DNAT rules on the VPC
router had no path to the external network.

Match AWS InternetGatewayAttachment.State semantics:
 - Attach: State="attached"
 - Detach: State="detached"

Detach value is internal — recordToEC2 gates Attachments on VpcId != "",
so the detached State is never surfaced to API consumers.

Bead: mulga-siv-131

* fix(reconcile): call AttachIGW when IGW topology missing

applyIGWs previously deferred to the NATS handler when an intent IGW
had no external switch in OVN. When the vpc.igw-attach event is lost
(bootstrap-time default-VPC IGW published before vpcd subscriber is
ready), deferral never resolves and VM public-IP traffic dies.

Call IGWManager.AttachIGW directly — it is idempotent (short-circuits
when the external switch already exists), so the reconciler converges
default-VPC IGWs on first pass without duplicating work on subsequent
passes.

Closes mulga-siv-132.

* fix(test): align NewExternalIPAM call with 2-arg signature

Rebase onto dev pulled in daemon_system_instance_test.go which used
the legacy 3-arg NewExternalIPAM(jsNC, js, pools). The feature branch
already narrowed the signature to (js, pools) via the upstream-DHCP
config drop; align the test with the current signature.

* fix(vpcd): EnsureSubnet must EnsureVPC first to avoid NATS race

vpc.create-vpc and vpc.create-subnet are independent NATS events with
no inter-event ordering guarantee. Tenant bootstrap on iam.account.created
publishes both within <1ms, so the subnet handler's
CreateLogicalRouterPort can race the parent VPC's CreateLogicalRouter and
fail with "logical router not found". The cascade fails CreateNetworkInterface
which fails RunInstances which surfaces as InsufficientInstanceCapacity to
the SDK — masking the underlying topology race.

handleSubnetCreate now calls EnsureVPC(VPCID-only) before EnsureSubnet.
EnsureVPC short-circuits on existing LR (idempotent), so the race-winning
vpc.create-vpc handler's full CIDR/VNI ExternalIDs are preserved; if subnet
wins the race the LR is created with bare ExternalIDs (cosmetic) and the
follow-on vpc.create-vpc short-circuits.

Adds TestIntegration_SubnetBeforeVPC regression covering both orderings.

Closes mulga-siv-133.

* feat(ansible): require --external-pool, drop NAT, forward EXTRA_VARS

spx admin init now rejects --external-mode=nat and demands --external-pool
when mode=pool. The ansible init role silently skipped pool flags when the
range was unset, so installs fell over inside the spx validator. Make
targets also swallowed `-e` (make's env-override flag), so operators could
not override pool start/end without editing defaults.yml.

- vars/defaults.yml: rename nat_gateway_ip → external_gateway_ip; add
  spinifex_external_no_external opt-out; document the spx flag contract.
- roles/init/tasks/main.yml: drop NAT branch; assert pool range upfront
  with a fail_msg pointing at EXTRA_VARS / defaults.yml; emit gateway,
  prefix-len, gateway-ip only when explicitly set (let spx auto-detect);
  honour --no-external.
- playbooks/dev-reset.yml: rename captured var; coerce legacy
  external_mode=nat to pool with a warn; tighten gateway regex with \b.
- Makefile: ansible-dev-* targets now forward EXTRA_VARS="key=val ..."
  through --extra-vars so `make` callers can override without editing
  defaults.yml.
- scripts/ansible/README.md: document pool requirement, both invocation
  styles (direct -e vs make EXTRA_VARS), NAT removal.

* fix(ipsec): guard ipsec_encapsulation on ovs-monitor-ipsec liveness

enableOVNIPSec set OVS cert pointers + ipsec_encapsulation=true without
ensuring ovs-monitor-ipsec.service was running. Without that daemon, OVS
holds the cert pointers unused, strongSwan never gets IKE config, and
tunnel traffic ovn-controller marks for encryption gets silently
dropped. TestMultinodeIPSec fails on `node1 xfrm has no AEAD SAs`.

- systemd: spinifex-daemon Wants=/After= ovs-monitor-ipsec.service
- daemon: ensureOVSMonitorIPSecActive — systemctl enable --now +
  is-active poll; refuses to flip ipsec_encapsulation if daemon is dead
- daemon: single-node short-circuit — no peers means no tunnels means
  the flag is at best inert and at worst load-bearing-silent-drop
- ci: capture-net-diag.sh + workflow steps to snapshot OVS/OVN/xfrm
  state on failure, fan out across all 3 multinode nodes

Refs: mulga-siv-136

* test(e2e): sticky-skip downstream SSH tests when probe fails

When TestSSHProbe times out (3 min, typically because of mulga-siv-134
datapath bug), four downstream tests each re-probe SSH on the same
broken datapath and time out identically — single-node job runs ~24 min
instead of ~12 min, with the same error logged five times.

First waitForSSHReady timeout now sets a package-level atomic flag;
subsequent waitForSSHReady / trySSHReady / requireSSHHealthy calls skip
immediately. Preserves the original red signal on TestSSHProbe and on
any test that genuinely needed SSH (Skip ≠ Pass). Bool variant
(trySSHReady) consults but does not set the flag — its caller already
treats False as advisory warning, not fatal.

TestSGToSGDatapath has its own EventuallyErr SSH wait (not via
waitForSSHReady) and needs an explicit requireSSHHealthy(t) gate at
the top of runSGToSGDatapath. TestNATGateway already calls
waitForSSHReady first so the gate fires naturally.

Refs: mulga-siv-137

* fix(ipsec): use Debian unit name openvswitch-ipsec.service

CI artifact shows `Unit ovs-monitor-ipsec.service could not be found`
on every node. Debian's openvswitch-ipsec package ships the unit as
openvswitch-ipsec.service (the binary inside is ovs-monitor-ipsec, but
systemd's name follows the package). The previous commit guarded on
the wrong unit name, so:

- spinifex-daemon.service Wants=/After= silently no-op'd (missing unit)
- enableOVNIPSec's `systemctl enable --now ovs-monitor-ipsec.service`
  failed, daemon logged a warning and continued without flipping
  ipsec_encapsulation=true
- TestMultinodeIPSec skipped with `node1 reports ""` because OVS DB
  never received the cert pointers

Rename across all 5 spots (daemon, systemd unit, test, CI diag script,
workflow journal capture) to match the Debian package layout.

Note: the package itself still must be present on the CI VM image —
that's tracked in the mulga repo (image-builder provision.sh +
bootstrap-install.sh shim).

* fix(e2e): authorize default SG tcp/22 + icmp in single-node fixture

admin init leaves the default SG closed (AWS parity); the Go single suite
never ported the Phase-5 SG-ingress block that run-e2e.sh has had since day
one, so every test runner SSH/ping probe hits the OVN port-group ACL drop.

- ec2helpers: add AuthorizeICMPIngress + EnsureDefaultSGOpen helpers.
- single/main_test: open default SG once per process in pkgFixOnce.Do.
- witness: extend ensureDefaultSGSSHIngress to authorize ICMP too.
- run-e2e.sh: append matching ICMP authorize next to tcp/22 block.

mulga-siv-134

* fix(network/reconcile): key DHCP_Options lookup by subnet_id not CIDR

Multi-tenant default VPCs share the same subnet CIDR (172.31.0.0/20) per
account. The existing FindDHCPOptionsByCIDR gate at apply.go:107 found
the first account's DHCP_Options row and skipped creation for every
subsequent subnet with the same CIDR. Those subnets' ports then attached
nothing (FindDHCPOptionsByExternalID misses on subnet_id), VMs got no
DHCPv4 lease, and SSH/ICMP into them silently failed even though SG
ACLs and NAT were correct.

Switch the gate to FindDHCPOptionsByExternalID keyed on spinifex:subnet_id
so each subnet owns its own row, matching the attach lookup at line 203.

Verified: account 000000000001 default VPC RunInstances now produces an
LSP with dhcpv4_options populated, VM cloud-init reports a 172.31.0.5/20
lease + default route via 172.31.0.1, and ping + ssh TCP handshake to
the EIP succeed end-to-end. Stale DHCP_Options row for the prior dead
subnet was wiped manually; reconciler recreated the correct row for the
live subnet on its next pass.

* fix(ipsec): enable openvswitch-ipsec at provision time, drop daemon write

Provisioning now runs `systemctl enable --now openvswitch-ipsec.service`
alongside openvswitch-switch and ovn-controller. The spinifex-daemon
process drops its `enable --now` shell-out and only polls is-active.

Sudoers gains one read-only line:
  spinifex-daemon ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl is-active openvswitch-ipsec.service

This mirrors the existing vpcd ovn-controller is-active precedent and
removes the daemon's need for systemd-write capability. Aligns with
least-privilege service account pattern: provision enables services,
daemon only reads status.

If the unit is inactive at runtime, the daemon refuses to flip
ipsec_encapsulation=true (silent-drop guard from mulga-siv-136) and
surfaces a clear error pointing at scripts/setup-ovn.sh.

* chore: unblock preflight on feat/network-layer-redesign

Two pre-existing failures blocked preflight on the branch:

- govulncheck flagged golang.org/x/net@v0.54.0 (GO-2026-5026, ASCII Punycode
  rejection bug in idna.ToASCII); reached via utils.DownloadFileWithProgress.
  Bump to v0.55.0; go mod tidy carries x/sys to v0.45.0.
- TestTopologyHandler_SubnetCreate_RouterPortFails asserted subnet create
  fails when the parent VPC router is missing. That contract changed in
  aed7b2e (mulga-siv-133), which made handleSubnetCreate call EnsureVPC
  idempotently before EnsureSubnet to avoid a NATS publish-order race.
  Delete the now-impossible failure case.

* refactor(network/ovn): relocate nbdb model package from services/vpcd

Phase 4 / mulga-siv-125.6 Slice A. Pure import rename, no logic change.

The OVN Northbound DB model (LogicalSwitch, LogicalRouter, DHCPOptions,
etc.) lived under services/vpcd/nbdb/ because that was the original home
of every OVN caller. After Phase 1+2 the L1 client (network/ovn) and all
L3/L5 managers (network/policy, network/external, network/topology,
network/reconcile) became the primary callers — 8 importers in network/*
vs 2 in services/vpcd/. The directory move puts the schema model where
its consumers are, and unblocks deleting services/vpcd/ entirely once
the subscriber/launcher relocations land (Slices B–D).

* refactor(vpcd): delete dead retrofit/reconcileIGW helpers + bridge-mode bleed

Phase 4 / mulga-siv-125.6 Slice B.

Production path no longer touches any of:

- RetrofitAllGatewayPortNetworks / RetrofitAllExternalLocalnetOptions —
  the 5-pass startup leftovers that network/reconcile (Phase 2.2) made
  redundant. Nothing called them outside tests.
- reconcileIGW + its allocateGatewayLRPIP / gwLrpRange helpers + the
  ipv4ToUint32 / uint32ToIPv4 utilities — superseded by
  external.IGWManager (Phase 2.4) which carries its own pool logic.
- ensureLocalnetOptions / ensureGatewayPortNetworks /
  expectedGatewayPortNetwork — read-before-write retrofit shims for the
  same code paths.
- generateMAC — only callers were reconcileIGW + its tests.

useCentralizedNAT (the bridge-mode bleed flagged in plan §2.2) is
replaced by a policy.NATMode value injected via WithNATMode(...). The
mode is resolved once in vpcd.go from host.UplinkMode and threaded into
both the topology-handler lazy managers and the reconciler stack, so
"is this veth?" is no longer a question topology.go can ask. The
TopologyHandler defaults to NATModeDistributed when WithNATMode is
omitted, matching the previous default.

Drops services/vpcd/topology.go from 1220 LOC to 693, deletes ~700 LOC
of obsolete tests (TestGenerateMAC, TestEnsureLocalnetOptions_*,
TestRetrofitAllExternalLocalnetOptions_FixesClearedOptions,
TestReconcileIGW_*, TestGwLrpRange), and frees the nbdb + utils +
net imports in topology.go.

Stale "phase 4 migrates those onto the new managers" comment in vpcd.go
fixed in passing — the subscribers were migrated in Phase 2.6
(mulga-siv-129); only the file-relocation parts of Phase 4 remain.
Stale ensureLocalnetOptions / ensureGatewayPortNetworks references in
network/ovn/{live.go,mock/mock.go} doc comments also cleaned up.

* refactor(network): move NATS VPC subscribers to network/subscribers

Phase 4 Slice C (mulga-siv-125.6). Promotes the NATS event handlers out of
services/vpcd into a new spinifex/network/subscribers package. Subscriber
holds the topology/policy/external managers directly — the lazy *Once
adapter shim (topology_manager.go) is deleted along with vpcd's local
event-struct copies.

launchService now constructs topology.LiveManager eagerly with a DNS
callback derived from external pools (preserving the unscoped-pool lookup
old TopologyHandler.lmDNSServer did), builds every manager up front, then
hands them to subscribers.New + Subscribe. reconcile.New receives
topology.Manager directly instead of through the adapter.

Bridge-mode constants and waitForFlowsHV move into vpcd.go alongside the
launcher; they were left behind as topology.go's last responsibilities.

Handler-layer tests (topology_test.go, security_test.go, integration_test.go)
are dropped: substance is covered by network/topology, network/policy,
network/external manager tests. subscribers/subscribers_test.go adds
focused coverage: missing-dep rejection, topic registration smoke, and
bad-JSON envelope per topic.

services/vpcd is now down to the launcher + the ovn/mock compat aliases
(removed in Slice D when the launcher promotes to cmd/vpcd/).

* refactor(vpcd): relocate services/vpcd → spinifex/vpcd; drop dead aliases

Phase 4 Slice D (mulga-siv-125.6). Final cleanup of the network-redesign
package layout. services/vpcd/ disappears entirely; the launcher remains
an in-process Service impl, just rehomed under spinifex/vpcd/ (no separate
binary — spx vpcd start stays the cobra entrypoint).

- Delete services/vpcd/mock_ovn.go + ovn.go (compat aliases now dead post
  Slice C; only callsite was launchService's NewLiveOVNClient, inlined to
  ovn.NewLiveClient).
- git-rename services/vpcd/vpcd.go + vpcd_test.go to spinifex/vpcd/.
- Retarget three importers (spinifex/service/service.go +
  service_test.go, cmd/spinifex/cmd/service.go) to the new path.
- Fix stale services/vpcd / TopologyHandler comments in network/reconcile/
  + network/external/types.go + spinifex/vpcd/vpcd.go.
- service-interfaces.yaml vpcd path updated.
- Plan doc §13/§14/§16 + §9.2/§19 updated: drop cmd/vpcd/main.go (was
  speculative; never built) in favour of in-process Service impl at
  spinifex/vpcd/vpcd.go. Plan §16 Created list now lists subscribers/.

Phase 4 plan items 1+2 (remove services/vpcd, entrypoint location)
satisfied. Items 3+4 remain blocked on mulga-siv-125.4 + 125.5 (bundled
join token, plan archive).

* fix(ovn): install openvswitch-ipsec + strongswan explicitly

ovs-monitor-ipsec.service fails to start without an IKE daemon. The
openvswitch-ipsec package only Recommends strongswan, so any apt
config that drops Recommends (or a base image with the recommends
already skipped) leaves the service in a Restart loop with 'IKE
daemon is not installed'. Hoist both packages into setup-ovn.sh so
provisioning is the single source of truth — the bootstrap shim in
mulga is no longer needed.

* test(network): pin ADR-0006 invariants to executable suite

Add static-analysis + behavioural tests that bind every safety and
liveness clause in ADR-0006 (S1-S9, L1-L3) to a named Go test. Failure
output quotes the ADR clause verbatim and points at the offending
file:line so future debugging sessions can't quietly bypass a layer
contract to make a test green.

Static-analysis suite (spinifex/network/invariants/):
- S1 layers_test.go: parses `go list -json`; rejects upward layer
  imports and layers pulling from cross-cutter packages
- S2 host_containment_test.go: AST-detects ovs-vsctl / ovn-nbctl /
  ovs-ofctl shell-out outside network/host/
- S3 nat_mode_test.go: rejects .UplinkMode() / NATModeFromUplinkMode()
  calls outside the init-time resolver locations
- S4 names_test.go: AST-detects OVN object name construction (concat,
  fmt.Sprintf, strings.Join) outside topology/names.go
- S5 policy_no_create_test.go: rejects CreateLogical{Switch,Router,...}
  and DeleteLogical{...} calls inside network/policy/
- S6 federation_isolation_test.go: rejects TransitSwitch /
  TransitRouterPort references and ovn-ic literals outside
  network/federation/ (pre-protects the layer before it lands)
- S8 ipsec_test.go: rejects strongswan / xfrm / IKEv2 / libreswan /
  openswan imports anywhere in network/
- S9 reconciler_singleton_test.go: rejects Reconcile…Loop and
  Reconcile…Pass<n> function names anywhere in network/
- S7 nats_subjects_test.go: scans for `vpc.<verb>` subjects missing
  the {azID} segment; calls t.Skip with the gap report so every test
  run prints the work-to-do without breaking CI. Flip to t.Fatalf
  when the cluster-wide subject rename ships.

Behavioural suite (spinifex/network/reconcile/liveness_test.go):
- L1 reconciler converges: scaled-intent (N=1,3,8) double-Reconcile
  property test; asserts second pass is a no-op
- L2 drift bound: structural check that DriftInterval is positive and
  ≤30 min support window; full fake-clock behavioural test deferred
- L3 federation re-enables: t.Skip stub pointing at the missing
  network/federation/ package

Fixes the one production S4 violation the new walker found:
network/external/igw.go was constructing "gw-port-"+vpcID inline.
Adds topology.GatewaySwitchPort(vpcID) helper and retargets both
AttachIGW and DetachIGW callsites through L2.

Plan + per-clause mechanic + phasing in
docs/development/improvements/network-invariants.md.

* fix(ovn): install strongswan-charon (not strongswan metapackage)

The strongswan metapackage's '\''charon-systemd | strongswan-charon'\''
alternative resolves to charon-systemd by default, which ships
/usr/sbin/charon-systemd but not the legacy /usr/sbin/ipsec helper or
/usr/lib/ipsec/charon binary that ovs-monitor-ipsec --ike-daemon=strongswan
shells out to. Install strongswan-charon explicitly to pull
strongswan-starter (legacy ipsec controller) + the matching charon binary,
matching what openvswitch-ipsec.service expects.

Also reset-failed + restart openvswitch-ipsec.service after enable to
recover from the deb post-install starting the service before its
dependencies finished unpacking.

* chore: add CODEOWNERS — joshsiv-mulga gates network/ + vpcd/

Fall-through reviewer for any change is the maintainer.
network/ and vpcd/ are explicitly listed so the matching branch
protection rule ("Require review from Code Owners") routes those
PRs to joshsiv-mulga. Those trees are governed by ADR-0006
invariant tests (spinifex/network/invariants/); CODEOWNERS adds a
human review gate on top of the mechanical fence.

Refs: mulga-siv-141

* chore: CODEOWNERS fallthrough → @mulgadc/mulgadc-engineers team

Fallthrough reviewer should be the team, not a single maintainer, so
any engineer can approve PRs outside the explicitly-gated paths.
network/ and vpcd/ keep joshsiv-mulga as the required reviewer per
ADR-0006 invariant ownership.

Refs: mulga-siv-141

* feat(ci): add test_run workflow input for -test.run filter

Pass an optional regex through to each suite's '\''go test -test.run'\'' so
dispatches can target a single test (e.g. '\''^TestMultinodeIPSec$'\'') without
running the full multinode suite. Threaded through single, multinode, and
reboot suite invocations; empty input preserves current behaviour.

* fix(daemon): flip NB_Global.ipsec=true on management node

Setting Open_vSwitch.other_config:ipsec_encapsulation=true on each
chassis is necessary but not sufficient for OVN native IPsec — without
NB_Global.ipsec=true, ovn-controller never adds options:remote_name to
the Geneve tunnel ports, so ovs-monitor-ipsec sees no IPsec-enabled
tunnels and the kernel xfrm tables stay empty. After enabling
ipsec_encapsulation locally, also write NB_Global.ipsec=true when the
local ovnnb_db socket is present (management node only); workers skip
silently — one writer is enough for a cluster-wide flag.

Adds a scoped sudoers entry pinning the daemon to that exact ovn-nbctl
invocation so the grant can't be reused for other NB mutations.

* fix(ovn): grant charon AppArmor read on /etc/spinifex/ipsec

The strongswan-charon profile only allows reads from /etc/ipsec.*,
/etc/strongswan.*, and a small fixed allowlist. ovs-monitor-ipsec writes
the per-tunnel strongSwan config with absolute paths to our peer cert +
key under /etc/spinifex/ipsec/, so charon hits 'Permission denied'
loading them (it runs as uid 0 but AppArmor still blocks) and no xfrm
SAs come up. Drop a read grant for /etc/spinifex/ipsec/** into the
profile's local override hook + reload.

* fix(ovn): pin OVS system-id to hostname for IPsec cert identity match

ovs-monitor-ipsec uses chassis-id as the IKEv2 `@<name>` peer identity in
the strongSwan config it generates. Our per-node IPsec peer cert
(admin.GenerateIPSecPeerCert) carries the node name as CN + dnsName SAN.
With chassis-id left at the package-generated UUID, charon validates
`@<UUID>` against a cert with dnsName=<hostname> — mismatch returns
AUTHENTICATION_FAILED and no xfrm SAs are negotiated.

Pin system-id to hostname (which equals the node name on Mulga clusters)
by writing both the on-disk source of truth (/etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf,
read by ovs-ctl on boot) and the running OVS DB value. Writing only one
would drift on the next reboot — the original "do not override" comment
was right about that hazard, just wrong about the resolution.

Cross-link the invariant in admin/ipsec.go: changing the cert identity
without updating setup-ovn.sh (or vice versa) breaks IKE silently.

* fix(ovn): take --node-name flag so chassis-id matches cluster identity

CI hostnames are bead-themed (env20-casuarina) and don't match the
cluster node name (node1/node2) baked into the IPsec peer cert dnsName
SAN at `spx admin init/join --node NAME`. Pinning system-id to
`hostname -s` produced env20-casuarina; charon then validated
`@node1` against dnsName=env20-casuarina and IKE failed with
AUTHENTICATION_FAILED.

Add a --node-name=NAME flag to setup-ovn.sh, default to hostname for
manual/dev invocations, and update the ansible install role to pass
{{ spinifex_node_name }}. The matching bootstrap-install.sh change
lives in mulga.

* refactor(daemon): relocate L0 helpers to network/host + widen ADR-0006 S2

Phase 4 Slice E of mulga-siv-125.6. Cleans up spinifex/daemon/network.go
per the audit and widens the S2 invariant to forbid OVS/OVN shell-outs
in spinifex/daemon/ (daemon is an L0 consumer; S2 applies).

Moved to network/host/:
- OVSNetworkPlumber + SetupTap/CleanupTap → host.OVSPlumber (host.NewOVSPlumber)
- GetBridgeIPv4 → host.GetBridgeIPv4
- OVNHealthStatus + CheckOVNHealth → host.OVNHealth + host.HealthStatus
- daemon/ipsec.go OVS/OVN ops → host.SetIPSecCertPaths, host.EnableIPSecEncapsulation, host.SetNBGlobalIPSec

Moved to utils:
- sudoCommand → utils.SudoCommand + utils.SetSudoCommandForTest test seam
  (cross-package reassign would trip the reassign linter; helper keeps
  the indirection inside utils).

Moved to vm:
- generateMgmtMAC → vm.GenerateMgmtMAC (pairs with vm.GenerateDevMAC)

Deleted (dead):
- SetupComputeNode (replaced by network/host/bridges.go:ensureBridges +
  scripts/setup-ovn.sh:572-579)
- EnsureDataRoute
- findInterfaceByIP
- daemon/network.go + dead tests in daemon/network_test.go (duplicates of
  vm package tests retained; mgmt MAC test moved to vm/lifecycle_test.go)

S2 invariant (network/invariants/host_containment_test.go) now walks
both spinifex/network/ and spinifex/daemon/, skipping network/host/.

* fix(ovn): broaden AppArmor read grant to /etc/spinifex (covers CA cert)

The earlier override granted reads on /etc/spinifex/ipsec/** only, which
covers the peer cert + key but NOT the cluster CA at /etc/spinifex/ca.pem.
charon then can't load the CA, can't validate the peer cert chain, and
surfaces the failure as `no trusted RSA public key found for '<peer>'`
even though identity matching now succeeds — IKE_AUTH fails with
AUTHENTICATION_FAILED and no xfrm SAs negotiate.

Grant /etc/spinifex/** instead (covers ca.pem + ipsec/peer.{pem,key})
and always rewrite the override so re-runs replace the older narrower
rule.

Refs: mulga-siv-136

* fix(ipsec): symlink cluster CA into charon's default cacerts dir

ovs-monitor-ipsec writes per-conn `cacert=/etc/spinifex/ca.pem` references
in the strongSwan config, but strongSwan 6.0 only loads CAs declared in
standalone `ca` sections or files placed in /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts at
startup. Without this, charon authenticates the local side fine but
rejects every inbound peer cert as `no trusted RSA public key found for
'<peer>'`, AUTH_FAILED, and no xfrm SAs negotiate.

Do the symlink in admin.GenerateIPSecPeerCert (right after writing the
peer cert) — setup-ovn.sh runs before `spx admin init/join` creates
/etc/spinifex/ca.pem, so the wiring can't live there. Use a stage-and-
rename pattern so concurrent test invocations don't race on the symlink.

/etc/ipsec.d/cacerts is on charon's default AppArmor allowlist so no
profile change needed.

Refs: mulga-siv-136

* chore(setup-ovn): drop apt-get install_packages block

OVS/OVN/openvswitch-ipsec/strongswan-charon are baked into the CI gold
image via mulga's image-builder/scripts/provision.sh (commits 116bb05,
a9b3a9c). Keeping a runtime apt-get install path here pulled CI through
apt-cacher-ng on every bootstrap and tripped on intermittent "Message
has been manipulated" InRelease cache corruption (env21/env20 runs).

Drop the install block. Gold-image rebuild is the canonical place to
add new system packages. If a package is missing, downstream ovs/ovn
commands fail loudly during setup-ovn.sh's later steps — clearer signal
than silently re-installing through a flaky proxy.

setup.sh already supports INSTALL_SPINIFEX_SKIP_APT=1 (passed by mulga's
bootstrap-install.sh:237) so this removes the last runtime apt-get call
on the CI provisioning path.

* fix(ovn): gate system-id pin on explicit --node-name

setup-ovn.sh used to fall back to `hostname -s` when --node-name wasn't
passed, and then unconditionally wrote that value to
/etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf + ovs-vsctl external_ids:system-id.

On CI single-node, the gold image already registered a chassis with
name=<UUID>; setup-ovn.sh then rewrote system-id to the bead-themed
hostname (env10-banksia). vpcd's discoverChassis treats any chassis row
whose name != local system-id but hostname == local hostname as a stale
local chassis and skips it, so vpcd reported "no OVN chassis registered
in SBDB" and refused to start, cascading into the e2e + e2e-go failures
on run 26430839508.

Drop the hostname fallback. If --node-name is given, pin both the
on-disk file and the running OVS DB to it (callers that care about
IPsec cert identity matching still get it). If no --node-name is given,
leave the existing system-id alone — that's always safe whether the
value came from a gold-image UUID, bootstrap-install.sh writing nodeN
before this script runs, or a manual ansible value.

* fix(network/reconcile): skip orphan prune on startup; drift owns GC

The vpcd startup reconcile races against the daemon's EnsureDefaultVPC:
the daemon writes SG KV rows + publishes vpc.create-sg on each node in
parallel with vpcd starting up. The leader-gated reconcile can load
intent before any SG row is visible on its local JetStream replica
while subscribers on peer nodes are concurrently creating port groups
from the same vpc.create-sg events. A startup orphan-port-group sweep
then deletes managed sg_* port groups that intent hasn't caught up to.

CI run 26434124790 trace:
  node2 reconcile/lock: elected holder=env20-bottlebrush
  node2 reconcile: starting intent_sgs=0
  node2 reconcile/apply: removed orphan port group pg=sg_161c70ce23e704a2a
  node2 reconcile/apply: removed orphan port group pg=sg_a0d078650a3150391
  node2 reconcile/apply: removed orphan port group pg=sg_54b564b374e9162bb

Every subsequent RunInstances → vpc.create-port failed with
"port group not found" for ~3 minutes until the 5-minute drift tick
recreated the port groups. Tests give up after 60s; six multinode
suites cascade-fail on InsufficientInstanceCapacity.

Split the reconciler into Reconcile (full prune, drift loop) and
ReconcileApplyOnly (no prune, startup). applySGs takes a pruneOrphans
bool. vpcd startup calls ReconcileApplyOnly; drift loop unchanged.
Legitimate orphans get garbage-collected on the next drift tick — at
worst 5 minutes of lingering rows, no production impact.

Add TestReconcile_ApplyOnlyKeepsOrphanPortGroup to lock the contract.

* fix(ipsec): trigger charon rereadcacerts after CA symlink install

strongSwan scans /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts only at charon startup. The unit
openvswitch-ipsec.service is enabled at provision time and starts before
admin init writes the cluster CA symlink, so charon ends up running with
zero CAs loaded. Every IKE_AUTH then fails with `no trusted RSA public
key found for '<peer>'` and no SAs negotiate — the failure mode exposed
by TestMultinodeIPSec.

Append a stroke rereadcacerts call at the end of
installCAIntoCharonTrustStore so an already-running charon picks up the
freshly-placed CA without a service restart. Failure is swallowed at
debug — a missing/stopped charon at admin-init time is expected and a
later startup will scan cacerts naturally.

* refactor(network/host): move IPSec orchestrator from daemon (ADR-0006 S8)

ADR-0006 S8: "IPSec is OVN-native only. No layer implements custom IKEv2,
XFRM rules, or direct strongSwan management. IPSec SA lifecycle is delegated
entirely to OVN native IPSec and is invisible above L0."

The enableOVNIPSec orchestrator and its ensureOVSMonitorIPSecActive helper
lived in daemon/ipsec.go but composed L0 primitives (SetIPSecCertPaths,
EnableIPSecEncapsulation, SetNBGlobalIPSec) that already lived in
network/host. The orchestrator now lives alongside its callees as
host.EnableOVNIPSec, taking configPath and clusterConfig from the daemon at
the call site. Helper and test-override package vars (systemctlActiveTimeout,
ovnNBSocketPath) move with it; tests are translated to call EnableOVNIPSec
directly rather than via the Daemon struct.

Closes mulga-siv-142

* refactor(daemon): use topology.Port for OVN port names (ADR-0006 S4)

ADR-0006 S4 forbids any layer above L2 from constructing OVN object
names. Three daemon sites formatted "port-" + ENIId inline; route them
through topology.Port instead.

Closes mulga-siv-143

* refactor: use topology.Port for OVN port names in handlers + vm (ADR-0006 S4)

Replace inline "port-"+eniID formatting across five sites (eip, instance x2,
vpc/eni, vm/network_helpers) with topology.Port. OVSIfaceID stays as a thin
wrapper to preserve the OVN binding contract comment and existing call sites.

Closes mulga-siv-144

* test(network/invariants): widen scan roots to daemon/handlers/vm/testutil/utils (ADR-0006)

Widen ADR-0006 invariant scan roots so drift in upstack consumers surfaces
in CI. Backlog of violations in widened roots was drained by
mulga-siv-142/-143/-144; this commit makes the wider scan permanent.

  - S2 (host_containment): add vm/ alongside network/ + daemon/
  - S3 (nat_mode):         add daemon/ alongside network/ + vpcd/
  - S4 (names):            add daemon/, handlers/, vm/ alongside
                           network/ + vpcd/; add narrow AWS-ID exemption
                           (vpc-cidr-assoc-) so AWS resource IDs are not
                           misclassified as OVN object names
  - S6 (federation):       add daemon/, handlers/ alongside network/;
                           convert single-root walk to slice
  - S7 (nats_subjects):    add daemon/, handlers/, testutil/, utils/ —
                           stays t.Skip pending cluster-wide subject
                           rename; gap report now lists 58 subjects

CODEOWNERS: add /spinifex/network/invariants/ rule so widening or
narrowing the scan needs explicit owner review.

* chore(e2e): disable IPsec in pseudo multi-node test

Pseudo multi-node runs three simulated nodes as unprivileged tf-user.
The charon trust-store install in 904b45e writes /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts,
which fails with EACCES under a non-root caller and aborts admin init.

Disable --ipsec for this suite — loopback-only nodes don't exercise
real Geneve encryption anyway. Real-multi-node + single-node e2e
(both run admin init via sudo) continue to cover the IPsec path.

* fix(ovn): atomic Ensure* primitives prevent duplicate logical entities

OVN NB has no unique constraint on Name. The previous
GetLogicalRouter→CreateLogicalRouter sequence in EnsureVPC was a TOCTOU
race: when vpc.create on one node and the defensive vpc.create-subnet
EnsureVPC call on another both observed absence, both inserted, yielding
two routers per VPC. The orphan held DNAT references blocking EIP
detach, and DNAT/flow installation landing on the orphan caused
TestMultinodeGuestSSH SSH timeouts.

Add EnsureLogicalRouter / EnsureLogicalSwitch / EnsurePortGroup to the
libovsdb client. Each builds a single OVSDB transaction combining a
wait-op (Until=equal, Rows=[]) gated on absence of a Name match with the
insert. The server serialises the wait+insert atomically; concurrent
callers see exactly one survivor and the rest fall through to a re-fetch
that returns the canonical row.

Switch all production callers (topology.EnsureVPC / EnsureSubnet /
EnsureSGPortGroup, external.AttachIGW, reconcile.applyVPCs /
applySubnets) to the Ensure* variants. Bare Create* remains available to
the L1 wrapper.

Add invariant test TestS4_OVNNamedCreatesUseEnsure (AST walk) to block
future reintroduction of the bare Create* call sites outside
network/ovn.

Mock implements Ensure* under its existing mutex so the concurrency
tests (50/30/30 goroutines for Router/Switch/PortGroup) prove a single
UUID survives.

Refs: mulga-siv-146

* fix(ovn): wait-op rows must be non-empty; flip to NotEqual predicate

The Ensure* primitives sent a wait-op with `Rows: []ovsdb.Row{}` plus
`Until: ==` (RFC 7047 §5.2.6 absence test). The libovsdb Operation
struct tags Rows as `json:"rows,omitempty"`, so the empty slice was
dropped on the wire and ovsdb-server rejected every transaction with
"Required 'rows' member is missing", breaking reconciler bootstrap and
every downstream create-port lookup ("logical switch X not found").

Flip the predicate to the equivalent `Until: !=` formulation with a
single-row projection containing the Name we want absent:

  no row    → projection []           != [{name}] → predicate holds
  row exists → projection [{name}]    == [{name}] → predicate fails

Same atomic guarantee, JSON now well-formed. Mock tests can't catch
this — only a real ovsdb-server validates the envelope.

* chore: remove generateMAC wrapper

* chore: remove all bead / plan references

* fix(network/policy): wait for chassis flows after AddNATGateway

AddEIP fires m.barrier() to block until ovn-northd compiles NB→SB and every
chassis installs the new dnat_and_snat flows; AddNATGateway returned right
after the NB commit. So `aws ec2 create-route … --nat-gateway-id` would
publish vpc.add-nat-gateway, the SNAT row would land in NB, and the API
call would succeed before the gateway chassis had programmed the SNAT flow
for the private subnet.

Phase 8d's 10×5s=50s ping budget races that flow-install latency on slow
CI hosts (last seen run 26455602615 single-node, identical flake on
unmodified dev run 26434711010 — pre-existing, not introduced by Ensure*).

Mirror AddEIP: call m.barrier() after AddNAT returns. Add unit test
TestNATManager_AddNATGateway_FlowsBarrier_Fires covering the new path.

* chore: remove more plan refs

* chore: remove GenerateIPSecPeerCertIfEnabled

* chore: remove dupliate subnetGatewayCIDR function

* chore(network): trim superfluous comments across network/ tree

Collapse multi-paragraph godocs to 1-2 sentences, drop WHAT-restatement
comments, remove section dividers grouping <10 items, and cut prose
narration in tests. ADR clause references, one-line WHY comments for
non-obvious OVN/OVSDB/AWS/NATS semantics, and exported-symbol godoc are
preserved. No behavioural changes.

Packages: invariants, topology, host, external, ovn, reconcile, policy,
subscribers.

* fix(igw): restore attachment State="available" for AWS parity

AWS InternetGatewayAttachment.State is "available" when an IGW is
attached to a VPC, per the AWS SDK doc ("the state is available when
attached to a VPC; otherwise, this value is not returned"). Commit
b7505f8 wrote "attached"/"detached" to align with the reconciler
filter, which inverted AWS parity.

Fix the producer to write "available" again and update the consumer:
 - handlers/ec2/igw: AttachInternetGateway and DetachInternetGateway
   both persist State="available"; IGWRecord comment narrowed.
 - network/reconcile/intent.loadIGWs: filter accepts "available" (was
   "attached"); attachment is identified by VpcId != "".
 - tests updated: igw service_impl_test, routetable service_impl_test
   fixture, reconcile intent_test fixture.

* Update spinifex.toml

* refactor(subscribers): route EIP/NATGW through L5 wrappers (ADR-0006 §S1)

Subscriber previously called policy.NATManager directly for EIP and NAT
Gateway operations, bypassing the L5 wrappers (EIPManager, NATGWManager)
that existed on paper. ADR-0006 §S1 requires every cross-layer call to
pass through the immediate lower neighbor's typed interface; IGW already
followed this pattern.

Wire EIPManager and NATGWManager into the Subscriber struct, construct
them in vpcd alongside IGWManager, and swap the four direct-L3 call
sites (AddEIP, DeleteEIP, AddNATGateway, DeleteNATGateway) onto the
L5 surface (AttachEIP, DetachEIP, AttachNATGateway, DetachNATGateway).
AttachEIP now fires the flows-barrier, giving callers the same
"reachable on return" guarantee IGW already had.

The reconciler still calls policy.NATManager directly; that's a
cross-cutter and a separate concern.

* test(reboot): port 8MB WAL pad workaround from bash run-reboot-e2e.sh

App VMs' user-data writes (unit file + index.html) sit in the on-host
WAL until WriteWALToChunk crosses the 4MB threshold. Host reboot before
that loses them — systemd then refuses to load the zero-byte unit and
the responder never starts. Mirror the bash driver's dd+sync pad so the
WAL flushes pre-reboot. Drop when the upstream WAL fix lands.

* test(e2e): dump OVN/OVS/SG state on Phase 8d NATGW failure

Phase 8d's existing failure path only prints lr-nat-list and
lr-route-list. CI artifacts are not uploaded when run-e2e.sh exits
nonzero, so debugging the NATGW regression requires inline diagnostics
in the journal. Expand the dump to include nb/sb show, chassis bindings,
port_group ACLs, br-int flows filtered to the NATGW IP/private subnet,
host routes, and the private VM's own ip/route/neigh state.

* fix(ovn,reconcile): scope NAT deletes to router; NATGW snat per associated subnet

Two compounding bugs caused Phase 8d NATGW E2E flake (~60% CI failure):

1. ovn.DeleteNAT/DeleteNATByExternalIP searched all NAT rows globally and
   only mutated the named router afterwards. With AWS subnet CIDRs repeating
   across VPCs, (type, logicalIP/externalIP) is not globally unique — the
   delete picked a NAT row owned by a different router, the mutate was a
   no-op, and the row delete failed with "remaining reference(s)", leaving
   the original router's NAT orphaned. Both calls now resolve the LR first
   and filter NAT lookups to lr.NAT UUIDs. Mock client mirrors the scoping.

2. reconcile.loadNATGWs used the NATGW's home (public) subnet CIDR as
   SubnetCIDR, producing an snat for the wrong CIDR that collided with the
   correct event-published snat. loadNATGWs now walks route tables and
   emits one NATGWSpec per (NATGW, associated private subnet) pair,
   mirroring publishNatGatewayEventsForAssociation. Intent map keyed by
   natgwID|subnetCIDR so multi-subnet NATGWs produce distinct specs.

Tests:
- nat_test.go: cross-router same-logicalIP isolation for DeleteEIP and
  DeleteNATGateway
- intent_test.go: NATGW snat uses associated private subnet CIDR, not the
  NATGW home subnet; NATGW with no associations produces no spec

* fix(installer): emit kernel cmdline to ttyS0 alongside tty0 (mulga-siv-33)

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub only listed console=tty0, so the
installed kernel printed nothing on serial after the GRUB menu. Headless
installs (CI, racks with serial-only IPMI, remote-dev SSH-to-QEMU) saw a
black screen forever and had no path to debug boot failures.

Append console=ttyS0,115200 — the last `console=` on the cmdline becomes
the system console, so ttyS0 wins on serial-only hardware while tty0
still receives output on local displays.

Plan: docs/development/bugs/iso-public-ip-boot-race.md

* fix(ipam): widen vpc.dhcp.acquire retry budget to 60 s (mulga-siv-34)

ObtainDHCPLease retried only 5 attempts × 1 s before returning a hard
error. On a cold ISO boot, NATS comes up well before vpcd's reconcile
leader-election + dhcp.Manager subscribe (typical 5–30 s, pathological
~60 s during full reconcile), so daemon's NewExternalIPAM races vpcd's
dhcp.acquire subscription and fails permanently — d.externalIPAM stays
nil for the daemon's lifetime, daemon_handlers_instance.go silently
skips all auto-public-IP allocation, and instances launch with no
public IP, no dnat_and_snat, and no NAT event ever published.

Bump maxAttempts to 60 with 1 s spacing; expose both as package vars
so tests can shrink the budget for fast timeout-path coverage. Pure
widening of the existing retry loop — no behaviour change on the
success path, only the worst-case wallclock when vpcd never comes up.

The dominant cause of slow vpcd starts (mulga-siv-33: systemd-networkd
not enabled in the ISO → veth pair vanishes on reboot → vpcd
crashloops) is fixed alongside this. A 60 s budget fits comfortably
above all observed healthy-startup times.

Plan: docs/development/bugs/iso-public-ip-boot-race.md

* fix(setup-ovn): declare Linux WAN bridge as NetDev so networkd-managed veth resolves Bridge= on reboot (mulga-siv-33)

The veth-mode reboot persistence drop-ins added in mulga-998.b were
incomplete: setup-ovn.sh wrote `15-spinifex-veth-wan.network` with
`Bridge=br-wan`, but never declared br-wan itself to networkd.

br-wan is created by `networking.service` (ifupdown via
`/etc/network/interfaces`, generated by `install.go writeNetworkConfig`),
not networkd. networkd's `Bridge=` directive requires the target to be a
known NetDev — when it isn't, networkd silently logs
`br-wan NetDev could not be found, ignoring assignment` and the veth
ends up with no master. vpcd's bridge-mode sanity check then fails on
every reboot.

Fix: also write `14-spinifex-br-wan.netdev` declaring br-wan as
`Kind=bridge`. networkd matches the existing kernel bridge by name+kind
(the `Failed to create netdev: File exists` log is harmless), and
`Bridge=br-wan` resolves on next boot. ifupdown still owns DHCP and the
IP — networkd just needs the NetDev declaration to enslave the veth.

The write is gated to avoid clobbering operator-managed networkd config:
if any other `.netdev` under `/etc/systemd/network`,
`/run/systemd/network`, or `/usr/lib/systemd/network` already declares
the WAN bridge by name, the write is skipped with a log line pointing
at the operator file. Cleanup hook also removes the new file when
switching away from veth mode.

Verified end-to-end via QEMU repro: clean install + first boot + reboot,
veth-wan-br master persists across reboots, vpcd starts cleanly.

* fix(vpcd/dhcp): enable AF_PACKET promisc on bridge for DORA (mulga-siv-33)

Real-world DHCP servers commonly ignore the BOOTP BROADCAST flag and
reply with a unicast OFFER addressed to the synthetic per-tenant chaddr
(e.g. 02:f3:...). A Linux bridge floods unknown unicast to slave ports
but does NOT pass it up to the bridge netdev unless IFF_PROMISC is set,
so vpcd's AF_PACKET socket on br-wan misses the OFFER and DORA times
out at 15s ("unable to receive an offer: context deadline exceeded").

Dev/CI didn't hit this:
- CI uses spx_wan_mode=static — no DORA via vpcd.
- QEMU dev DHCP servers (SLIRP/dnsmasq) honor the BROADCAST flag, so
  their replies are L2 broadcast which the bridge always passes up.

Replace the three nclient4.New(iface, ...) call sites in Acquire/Renew/
Release with nclient4.NewWithConn(...) wrapping a custom AF_PACKET
DGRAM conn that calls SetPromiscuous(true). Promisc is per-socket
(per-DORA, ~15s) and refcounted by the kernel — auto-clears on close.

* revert(vpcd/dhcp): drop AF_PACKET promisc wrapper, restore nclient4.New

ecfbd4f swapped nclient4.New for openPromiscBridgeConn + NewWithConn to
catch unicast OFFER replies that bypass the bridge netdev. On dev hosts
where upstream honors the BOOTP BROADCAST flag, the wrapper regressed
DORA — public-IP allocation failed where main works. Reverting until
the promisc path is validated against both broadcast- and unicast-OFFER
servers.

* fix(setup-ovn): mark br-int/br-ext Unmanaged for systemd-networkd (mulga-siv-37)

Fresh ISO install on Trixie+systemd-networkd left the OVS internal netdevs
admin-down: networkd has no matching .network so it tags them as unmanaged
but never brings them up. OVS dataplane works but ovn-controller flow
programming and any tooling that probes link state misbehaves.

Drop /etc/systemd/network/05-spinifex-ovs-internal.network with
Unmanaged=yes so OVS itself owns the link state — `ovs-vsctl add-br`
already runs the netdev up at create time.

* fix(vpcd): allocate gateway LRP IP from pool in centralized NAT (mulga-siv-36)

In veth/macvlan modes the gateway LRP carries all egress, so it must hold
a WAN-subnet IP — otherwise the upstream router silently drops ARP for
the WAN nexthop (RFC 826) and the default route never resolves. The
hardcoded 169.254.0.1/30 was correct for distributed NAT but regressed
centralized NAT (introduced under mulga-siv-26).

Add gw_lrp_range_start/end to ExternalPool. In centralized mode at IGW
attach the gateway LRP gets a fresh IP from that range, persisted as
external_ids:spinifex:gateway_ip on the LRP for idempotent reconcile and
retrofit. Direct mode keeps link-local. Per-VM EIP allocator skips the
gw range; ValidatePoolConfig rejects overlap with the EIP range.

Adds TestTopologyHandler_IGWAttach_CentralizedNATAllocatesGwLrpIP and
extends RetrofitAllGatewayPortNetworks to migrate stale link-local LRPs
to allocated pool IPs at startup.

* fix(vpcd): drop link-local fallback, auto-derive gw_lrp_range (mulga-siv-36)

In centralized NAT (veth/macvlan) the gateway LRP must hold a WAN-subnet
IP — link-local cannot ARP-resolve the upstream nexthop, so the upstream
router silently drops egress. Hardware deployment confirmed the previous
fallback to 169.254.0.1/30 was always reached when gw_lrp_range was not
explicitly configured.

Auto-derive a 16-IP range at the top of the WAN subnet (broadcast - 16
.. broadcast - 1) when gw_lrp_range is unset; shift below RangeStart on
overlap with the per-VM EIP range; clamp inside the subnet; guard the
upstream gateway IP. IGW attach now errors out instead of falling back
to link-local when allocation fails — surfaces misconfiguration loudly.

Adds focused unit tests for gwLrpRange, ValidatePoolConfig and
nextAvailableExternalIP gw-lrp skip; updates the multi-VPC and
PoolWithGatewayIP regression tests.

* feat(vpcd): DHCP-acquire gateway LRP IPs (mulga-siv-38)

Per-VPC OVN gateway LRPs now obtain their WAN-subnet IP via vpc.dhcp.acquire
when the pool is source="dhcp", instead of carving from a static gw_lrp_range.
The upstream DHCP server becomes the single arbiter of LAN address space; a
cluster grows by N nodes without operator-side range carving in spinifex.toml.

- Consolidate ObtainDHCPLease/ReleaseDHCPLease into the dhcp package as
  RequestAcquire/RequestRelease so vpcd and the daemon-side ExternalIPAM
  share one helper. handlers/ec2/vpc keeps its existing ENI/EIP DHCP path.

- TopologyHandler dispatches by pool source: DHCP pools call DHCPManager
  via NATS (client-id "gw-lrp-<vpcId>", idempotent on retry); static pools
  keep the siv-36 gw_lrp_range / auto-derive allocator. Direct mode and
  no-pool deployments still use link-local.

- IGW detach issues vpc.dhcp.release so the upstream server reclaims the
  IP. Best-effort — server-side expiry is the safety net.

- Tests: TestTopologyHandler_IGWAttach_DHCPGwLrpIP (3 VPCs share one DHCP
  pool, distinct IPs, idempotent attach, release on detach),
  IGWAttach_DHCPAcquireFailureAborts (no link-local fallback when DHCP
  errors), TestPrefixFromMask. Existing static / auto-derive tests
  preserved.

* fix(vpcd): subscribe DHCPManager before reconcile to fix boot race (mulga-siv-38)

DHCPManager.Subscribe ran AFTER ReconcileFromKV / RetrofitAllGatewayPortNetworks,
so retrofit's vpc.dhcp.acquire requests for existing IGWs hit "no responders" and
burned the 60-attempt × 1 s cold-boot retry budget per VPC before failing. On a
dev box with one bootstrap VPC the symptom is a 60 s vpcd startup hang followed
by "allocate gw LRP IP failed", and the bootstrap IGW topology missing from OVN
until the next reconcile pass.

Move dhcpManager.Subscribe ahead of the two reconcile passes so the subscription
is live before any topology code can fan out an acquire.

* fix(vpcd): also subscribe DHCPManager before bootstrap reconcile pass

Previous fix moved DHCPManager.Subscribe ahead of ReconcileFromKV but
missed Pass 1 (the bootstrap-config Reconcile that runs even earlier).
On a dev box with a source="dhcp" pool and a bootstrap IGW, that earlier
pass still hit "no responders" and burned the 60-retry cold-boot budget
before the Manager came up. Move both reconcile passes after Subscribe.

* fix(vpcd): RFC 2131 §4.1 DORA exponential backoff (mulga-siv-39)

DHCPManager.Acquire previously did one DISCOVER and gave up after 15s
because the outer ctx.WithTimeout matched the per-attempt timeout —
nclient4's WithRetry(3) could never fire. Real DHCP servers (consumer
routers, ISC dhcpd, dnsmasq) silently drop OFFERs under load; the spec
mandates retransmission with exponential backoff, and a single lost
DISCOVER was killing legitimate boots.

Move retransmission into DHCPManager.acquireWithBackoff with a
4s/8s/16s/32s schedule (±1s jitter, ~60s worst case). NClient4Client
becomes single-attempt; manager owns retry policy. Default
acquireTimeout lifts from 15s to 90s (sum of schedule + slack).

* fix(vpcd): retry NewDHCPManager on JetStream-not-ready (mulga-siv-40)

NewDHCPManager creates the spinifex-dhcp-leases KV bucket via
utils.GetOrCreateKVBucket → js.CreateKeyValue with no retry. After the
mulga-siv-38 launchService reorder, this runs before any other JetStream
user, so on multi-node cold-boot vpcd hits "JetStream system temporarily
unavailable" and exits before cluster quorum forms. Pseudo-multinode CI
calls start_node_services sequentially, so node2's vpcd failure aborts
the script before node3 ever launches and quorum then never forms.

Wrap NewDHCPManager in newDHCPManagerWithRetry (500ms→10s, 5 min cap,
ctx-cancellable) mirroring daemon.initJetStream so vpcd waits as
patiently as the daemon for the cluster to come up.

* fix(daemon): idempotent DetachVolume QMP path (mulga-siv-41)

DetachVolume's QMP sequence was not retry-safe. First call: device_del
succeeds, blockdev-del fails with "Node nbd-vol-X is in use" because NBD
client teardown / in-flight I/O still hold the block node. Handler bails
ServerInternal "leaving volume state intact" but the guest device is
actually gone. AWS-CLI retries: device_del returns DeviceNotFound,
handler bails again. After 2 retries aws cli exits 254 — Single-Node
Phase 8 Step 3 reproducibly fails this way.

Phase 1: treat DeviceNotFound on device_del as already-detached, log and
continue. Detach is now idempotent across retries.

Phase 2: tryBlockdevDel polls blockdev-del up to 20×detachDelay on "in
use" errors so the I/O drain can complete instead of failing the whole
detach. Other QMP errors fall through immediately as before.

Ben Duncan 94600d7b84 OVN chassis issues, new reconsile function, reboot fixed (#165) 2026-04-27 15:48:47 +10:00
joshsiv-mulga 6b75470b0f fix: admin-up veth-wan-ovs via networkd (mulga-998.b Fix 1 follow-up)
Fix 1 persisted the veth pair across reboot via
15-spinifex-veth-wan.{netdev,network}, but only configured
veth-wan-br. Its peer veth-wan-ovs had no .network unit, so
networkd left it unmanaged and admin-DOWN after reboot. That
cascades: peer goes LOWERLAYERDOWN, br-wan loses carrier,
external DHCP/NAT path broken — despite vpcd correctly
detecting mode=veth and the sanity check passing.

OVS does not admin-up external (non-internal) ports — that's
networkd's job. Pre-reboot the setup-ovn.sh 'ip link set
veth-wan-ovs up' made it work, but that doesn't persist.

Write a second unit 16-spinifex-veth-wan-ovs.network with
ConfigureWithoutCarrier=yes so networkd flips admin state
without taking ownership of bridge/address assignment (OVS
retains that). Cleanup paths in the non-veth branch of
setup-ovn.sh and reset-dev-env.sh updated to remove the new
unit too.

Verified live via 'networkctl reload': veth-wan-ovs and
veth-wan-br both UP, br-wan LOWER_UP. Reboot drill per
docs/development/bugs/dhcp-vpcd-issues.md 'Live drill 1'
still required to confirm persistence.
2026-04-24 15:03:05 +10:00
joshsiv-mulga abd93098fc fix: persist veth-wan pair across reboot (mulga-998.b Fix 1)
setup-ovn.sh's veth branch creates veth-wan-br ↔ veth-wan-ovs but nothing
recreates the kernel interfaces on reboot. OVSDB remembers veth-wan-ovs
as a port on br-ext but the peer is gone — the external path silently
breaks and vpcd falls through to direct mode.

- setup-ovn.sh: write /etc/systemd/network/15-spinifex-veth-wan.{netdev,network}
  in the veth branch so systemd-networkd recreates the pair on boot. Add
  a single pre-case guard that rips down stale veth persistence + the OVS
  port + the kernel veth whenever WAN_BRIDGE_MODE != veth, so mode
  transitions are idempotent (D17).
- reset-dev-env.sh: delete the netdev/network units during cleanup so
  `make reset` gives a truly clean slate.
- spinifex-vpcd.service: After=systemd-networkd.service openvswitch-switch.service
  so vpcd's sanity checks see a populated kernel + OVSDB (D5).

Josh Siviour 75fb15be2b feat: spx admin init/join listen-vs-advertise split + br-mgmt OVS provisioning (#158)
* fix: provision br-mgmt as OVS bridge + loopback guard for LB gateway

Convert br-mgmt from an externally-provisioned Linux bridge to an OVS
bridge owned by scripts/setup-ovn.sh, giving every deployment type
(tofu-cluster, production single-node, production multi-node) a single
provisioning path.

setup-ovn.sh grows --mgmt-bridge / --mgmt-cidr / --mgmt-iface /
--no-mgmt-bridge flags. Default creates br-mgmt with fail-mode=standalone
(excluded from ovn-bridge-mappings so ovn-controller ignores it) and
assigns the mgmt IP via a systemd-networkd drop-in so it survives reboot.

SetupMgmtTapDevice / CleanupMgmtTapDevice switch from `ip link master`
to `ovs-vsctl add-port` / `del-port` to match the new bridge type.

Add a loopback guard to wireLBAgentConfig's fallback branch: on a
production single-node with awsgw bound to 127.0.0.1 and no mgmt bridge,
the fallback previously injected 127.0.0.1 into LB VM cloud-init —
silently unreachable because the VM's loopback is its own. The guard
leaves GatewayURL empty and the existing "LB agent gateway URL not
configured" error fires instead. Regression covered in
daemon_wire_lb_test.go.

* fix: auto-detect primary IP for admin init --bind default

Bare `spx admin init` used a 127.0.0.1 default that kept awsgw on loopback
only, so system VMs on br-mgmt could never reach it. Auto-detect the
default-route source IPv4 instead, which keeps TLS cert SANs specific
(still not a wildcard). Dev-install scripts now pass --bind 127.0.0.1
explicitly to preserve loopback-only behavior on laptops.

Closes mulga-siv-7.

* test: refresh wire lb loopback-bind comment for siv-7

* fix: dev-install scripts should let admin init auto-detect --bind

Pinning --bind to 127.0.0.1 on dev installs left awsgw loopback-only while
setup-ovn.sh still provisions br-mgmt, so LB VMs hit 10.15.8.1:9999 with
no listener. Drop the explicit --bind so auto-detect picks the primary IP
and the siv-6 mgmtRouteVia path routes LB traffic to a real listener.

* fix: bind awsgw and predastore on 0.0.0.0 in spinifex.toml template

PR #144 (nats TLS) made every service listen on --bind's specific IP. For
awsgw and predastore this broke localhost-reachability that the UI proxy
(spinifexui/spinifexui.go:193-194) and AWS CLI spinifex profile rely on —
latent since #144, surfaced by siv-7's auto-detect default on dev installs
(502 from the UI).

Hardcode awsgw and predastore host fields to 0.0.0.0 so both listen
wildcard; loopback clients (UI proxy, spinifex AWS CLI profile, same-host
daemon → predastore) keep working, LAN clients still reach them via the
LAN-IP SAN on the cert. daemon.host and nats.host stay as {{.BindIP}}
because peer-advertised values must not resolve to 0.0.0.0/loopback.
predastore.host normalization at config.go:207 rewrites 0.0.0.0 → 127.0.0.1
for local-node consumers, so existing callers see a usable connect address.

* revert: siv-7 --bind auto-detect + siv-6 loopback guard (prep mulga-siv-8)

Clears the deck before layering the listen-vs-advertise split
(mulga-siv-8). The plan restores --bind=0.0.0.0 as the single-node
default and introduces an explicit --advertise flag for off-host dial
targets; the reverted approach (auto-detect a specific IP at init,
hardcode 0.0.0.0 in the template, guard against loopback in
wireLBAgentConfig) becomes redundant once that lands.

Reverts:
- bb0ad3a fix: bind awsgw and predastore on 0.0.0.0 in spinifex.toml template
- f20a47b fix: dev-install scripts should let admin init auto-detect --bind
- 49b0b4e test: refresh wire lb loopback-bind comment for siv-7
- b88dfdf fix: auto-detect primary IP for admin init --bind default

Also drops the loopback guard from siv-6 (74b6e2d) wireLBAgentConfig
fallback and its regression test — subsumed by the GatewayURL
precedence rework in mulga-siv-8.5 (br-mgmt → AdvertiseIP → error,
no silent empty-string fallthrough). The br-mgmt OVS provisioning
from 74b6e2d is retained.

Plan: docs/development/bugs/spx-admin-init-bind.md

* feat: admin.DialTarget + AdvertiseHost helpers (mulga-siv-8.2)

Introduce the two small address-resolution helpers the listen-vs-
advertise split needs, with full unit coverage. No callers yet —
dial-site migration lands in mulga-siv-8.5.

- DialTarget(listenAddr): rewrites wildcard listen addresses
  (0.0.0.0:N, [::]:N, :N) to their loopback equivalents so in-process
  clients dial a target the daemon's cert already has in its SANs.
  Specific IPs, loopback, hostnames, and malformed input pass through.
- AdvertiseHost(listenAddr, advertiseIP): picks the host off-host
  clients should dial. Wildcard listen → advertiseIP; specific host →
  that host. Port is dropped so callers append the protocol-appropriate
  port.

Plan: docs/development/bugs/spx-admin-init-bind.md §Proposed Changes/1

* feat: plumb AdvertiseIP through config/formation (mulga-siv-8.3)

Pure data-model change. Add AdvertiseIP to:
- admin.ConfigSettings (local node, populated by init).
- config.Config (per-node; mapstructure "advertise").
- formation.NodeInfo (json "advertise_ip,omitempty") so the join handshake
  carries it between peers.

buildRemoteNodes now prefers n.AdvertiseIP and falls back to n.BindIP so
joined nodes from older clusters / pre-siv-8 joiners keep working.

No behaviour change yet — templates, CLI flag, and dial-site migration
land in siv-8.4 and siv-8.5.

* feat: --advertise flag + resolveAdvertiseIP + templates (mulga-siv-8.4)

Introduce the listen-vs-advertise split at the CLI boundary.

admin init/join:
- --bind default for init is 0.0.0.0 (was 127.0.0.1 under siv-7 revert).
- New --advertise <IP> flag on both init and join; optional, auto-detected
  from DetectNetwork().WAN.IP when --bind is wildcard or loopback.
- resolveAdvertiseIP(bindIP, advertiseFlag, detected) implements
  precedence: flag > specific bindIP > WAN auto-detect > 127.0.0.1 +
  warning.
- Join resolves advertise before building the JoinRequest so peers record
  a reachable dial target (not 0.0.0.0).
- isMultiNode: trigger on --nodes >= 2 regardless of bind literal; operator
  can now run "init --nodes 3" without typing a specific --bind.
- Init success message prints bind / advertise / loopback three-way split.

Templates:
- spinifex.toml: [nodes.X] gains advertise = "{{.AdvertiseIP}}" rendered
  only when AdvertiseIP is set.
- predastore-multinode.toml: iam.nats_url host wrapped in the same
  {{if eq .BindIP "0.0.0.0"}}localhost{{...}}{{end}} shim that
  predastore.toml already uses, so co-resident predastore dials its local
  NATS via loopback instead of 0.0.0.0.

Tests cover the resolveAdvertiseIP matrix, the template advertise field
(present + omitted), and the predastore nats_url loopback shim.

Dial-site migration and GatewayURL rework land in siv-8.5.

* feat: dial-site migration + GatewayURL AdvertiseIP fallback (mulga-siv-8.5)

Switch every in-process dial site to admin.DialTarget so the wildcard
listen address (0.0.0.0) is rewritten to loopback before Dial(): daemon
→ NATS and → predastore (boot, reconnect, status probe, S3 store, service
manifest write), awsgw → NATS. The TLS cert already SANs 127.0.0.1, so
loopback-dial a wildcard-listen service is always valid; the old
0.0.0.0 literal was tripping TLS SAN verification.

Rework wireLBAgentConfig GatewayURL precedence (spinifex/daemon/daemon.go):

  1. AWSGW on specific WAN IP + br-mgmt present → WAN IP (unchanged)
  2. br-mgmt present, AWSGW on 0.0.0.0     → br-mgmt IP (unchanged)
  3. d.config.AdvertiseIP (single-node default install) → AdvertiseIP (NEW)
  4. DevNetworking shim                    → 10.0.2.2 (unchanged)
  5. AWSGW on specific IP, no bridge       → that IP (unchanged)
  6. Else                                  → log error, skip assignment

Kills the pre-siv-8 silent empty-URL failure mode that made
CreateLoadBalancer fail with 'missing system credentials: gatewayURL='
on every fresh single-node install. Supersedes siv-6's loopback guard.

Extend SetupAWSCredentials with a wanIP parameter (reserved for a
future --operator-endpoint flag) and thread AdvertiseIP through
finalizeNodeSetup's three call sites (single-node init, multi-node
init, join). Print 'Bind / Advertise / Loopback' on multi-node init
and join completion to match the single-node summary.

Ben Duncan 4d56565c3f feat: veth pair bridge — link Linux bridge to OVS without conversion
setup-ovn.sh now detects whether the default route is on a Linux bridge
or OVS bridge. When it's a Linux bridge (e.g. br-wan from cloud-init),
instead of destructively converting it, the script creates an OVS bridge
(br-ext) and links them with a veth pair. The Linux bridge keeps its IP,
routes, and ports untouched — no WAN interruption.

Also fixes all pre-existing lint issues (gofmt, ineffassign, errchkjson,
gosec, modernize, whitespace) to bring golangci-lint to 0 issues.

Tested: pool mode with static IP range on single-node (ben-banksia).
VM gets public IP 192.168.1.201, SSH works, outbound internet works.

Ben Duncan 34b50b11fb refactor: setup-ovn.sh — replace br-external with configurable WAN bridge
Replace --external-bridge/--external-iface/--direct with:
- --wan-bridge=NAME: OVS bridge for WAN traffic (auto-detected from
  default route if it's already a bridge)
- --wan-iface=NAME: physical NIC to add to the WAN bridge
- --macvlan: SSH-safe macvlan mode for single-NIC hosts

Auto-detection logic:
- If default route goes through a bridge (br-wan) → use it directly
- If default route is a physical NIC → stop with guidance (never
  auto-move a NIC into OVS — may drop SSH)

Bridge-mappings updated: external:$WAN_BRIDGE (was external:br-external).
OVN logical network name stays "external" (no topology.go change needed).

Encap IP now prefers br-vpc IP when available (dedicated VPC data plane).

Part of mulga-739. Blocks VPC E2E work.

Ben Duncan 88baf5e202 feat: direct bridge mode — prefer over macvlan when WAN NIC != SSH NIC
Auto-detect bridge topology: if a dedicated WAN NIC exists (not used for
SSH), add it directly to br-external instead of creating a macvlan.
Direct bridge enables distributed NAT (DNAT on VM's own chassis) and
eliminates macvlan workarounds (MAC alignment, gratuitous ARPs,
centralized NAT bottleneck).

- topology.go: bridge-mode-aware NAT and localnet port options
- vpcd.go: auto-detect bridge mode, skip MAC alignment for direct bridge
- setup-ovn.sh: --direct flag for physical NIC on br-external
- reset-dev-env.sh: SSH NIC detection via SSH_CONNECTION

Ben Duncan daae6ca6b8 refactor: remove single-nic bridge mode, standardize on macvlan
The single-nic IP migration path was fragile and caused connectivity
issues during setup. macvlan is now the only bridge strategy — always
creates spx-ext-{nic} on the WAN NIC. Removed --single-nic flag,
SingleNIC config/detection fields, and updated all docs.
2026-03-23 01:12:22 +00:00
Ben Duncan 665093343c fix: preserve DNS resolution after IP migration to br-external
When setup-ovn.sh migrates the WAN IP from a physical NIC to
br-external, systemd-resolved loses its DNS association (DNS servers
are per-interface). This breaks hostname resolution for everything
on the host — git, apt, curl, SSH all fail.

Now captures DNS config from the original interface before migration
and re-associates it with br-external via resolvectl. Falls back to
8.8.8.8 if no DNS was configured on the original interface.

Ben Duncan 2af3bf5287 feat: auto-detect network topology + DHCP gateway in admin init
spx admin init now works with zero external networking flags:
- Auto-detects WAN interface, gateway, prefix from ip route
- Auto-detects single-NIC vs multi-NIC mode
- Defaults to nat mode with DHCP for gateway IP
- Prints detected topology with interface roles

setup-ovn.sh gains --dhcp flag: obtains a DHCP lease on the
macvlan/bridge interface for the OVN gateway SNAT address, then
writes gateway_ip into spinifex.toml. Tested on VM: macvlan gets
separate IP from router DHCP, host keeps its original IP.

Three tiers of external networking:
- Zero flags: auto nat+DHCP (VMs get outbound internet)
- --external-pool=start-end: pool mode (VMs get public IPs)
- --no-external: overlay only (no internet for VMs)
2026-03-20 05:45:30 +00:00
Ben Duncan 1ee7012ba9 feat: Phase 7 — single-NIC macvlan bridge strategy
Add --single-nic flag to setup-ovn.sh. When used with --external-bridge,
creates a macvlan sub-interface (spx-ext-{iface}) in bridge mode off the
host's NIC instead of adding the NIC directly to br-external. The host
keeps its IP — no migration, SSH-safe.

Strategy selection:
- Dedicated NIC: --external-iface=eth1 (add directly)
- Single NIC:    --external-iface=eth0 --single-nic (macvlan)
- IP migration:  --external-iface=eth0 (legacy, no --single-nic)

Add single_nic bool field to VPCDConfig for per-node config. Different
nodes in a cluster can use different strategies. Unit test verifies
single_nic parsing alongside external_interface.

Ben Duncan c1cdfc07c3 feat: Phase 1 completion — external IPAM, br-external setup, config template

fallback logic, gateway IP reservation, and concurrent allocation via
CAS retries. 12 unit tests covering allocation, release, exhaustion,
CAS conflict, multi-pool, fallback, validation, and idempotent init.

Add --external-bridge flag to setup-ovn.sh: creates OVS bridge
br-external, adds WAN NIC, migrates host IP to bridge, and sets
ovn-bridge-mappings=external:br-external for OVN localnet ports.

Add commented [network] section and external_interface to spinifex.toml
config template for discoverability.
