From b0cae9e5c4e374c1faeea9ae802d87b29257d96e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erwin Fiten Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:01:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/36] docs(scopes): design spec for auto-derived region keys and scope-audit honesty The Scope Audit reports "declared but not observed" for regions this instance holds no region key for, presenting a config gap as a finding about someone else's repeater. Verified on the live instance: packet 0a065d41d51f1f77 carries code1=9209, which is exactly the derived code for #fm-112 over that packet's own payload, yet is stored with scope_name = "" because #fm-112 is not in hashRegions. Across the network, 260 of 613 notObserved entries (42%) name a region that never appeared under any name in a 7-day window. Spec covers two independent halves: - M1, server + frontend only: count the unmatched packets that ScopeAuditForwarding currently discards and surface them as a caveat, so an unnameable region stops reading as a confirmed gap. - M2, ingestor: a two-tier regionKeySet (explicit hashRegions plus a capped tier derived from node_declared_regions), refreshed behind an atomic snapshot so the ingest hot path stays lock-free, and matchScope returning a reason instead of a bare string. Opt-in, default off. scope-repair must build the same key set or it would unname every derived row. M3 (path-evidence tie-break) is deliberately gated on M2's measured ambiguity volume rather than built on expectation.

Packet `0a065d41d51f1f77` decodes to +`route_type=0` (TRANSPORT_FLOOD), `payload_type=5`, `code1=9209`, path `["E3D3"]` +— the repeater is the last hop, so it is attributable. Re-deriving the code for +each candidate region name over that packet's own payload: + +| Region | Derived code1 | | +|---|---|---| +| `#fm-112` | `9209` | matches | +| `#behss` | `AAA8` | | +| `#be` | `9CC7` | | + +The packet *is* `fm-112`, and is stored as `scope_name = ""`. + +Across a 2000-packet sample touching that repeater, 36 rows hold `scope_name = ""`. +Re-derived: 23 are `fm-112`, 3 are `behss`, 5 are `be` (genuine #1609 ambiguity — +`be` is configured, but a second key also matched), and 5 belong to a region +outside the candidate set. + +Network-wide over 7 days: repeaters declare **124 distinct region names** (123 +after dropping the literal `null`, which is a client serialisation artefact — +note that the automatic path in this design does *not* filter on name values, so +it would keep it; see the candidate filter below); this instance can name **16**. +`unknownScope` is 1.72% of all transport-scoped traffic. +Of 613 `notObserved` entries across 205 repeaters, **260 (42%)** name a region +that never appeared under any name in the whole window. That 42% is an upper +bound — a configured but genuinely idle region counts toward it — but `behss` and +`fm-112` are hash-verified, not inferred. + +### Why collisions are benign + +`code1` is an HMAC over the packet payload, so a collision between two region +names is re-rolled per packet rather than fixed per name pair. Two consequences +shape this design: + +- A region is never systematically lost to a collision, only a random fraction of + its packets. +- Targeted poisoning is not possible: an attacker cannot choose a name that + reliably collides with `#be`, because they do not control the payloads. + +The residual risk is therefore purely a rise in the random ambiguity rate, +proportional to the key-set size — which is what the cap below bounds. The rate +is `(N-1)/65536` per scoped packet: ~0.09% at 58 keys, ~0.27% at 180, and ~0.48% +at the 314 that `maxDerived: 256` permits on top of a 58-key explicit set. Only +the first of those is today's baseline; the others are what the cap buys. + +--- + +## Scope + +M1 and M2 below. M3 is explicitly gated on measurements taken during M2. M4 is +tracked, not built. + +Out of scope: regions in use but never declared over RF. Neither the config fix +nor this design can name those — both lean on the declared side. + +--- + +## Architecture + +### 1. `regionKeySet` — the key registry + +New file `cmd/ingestor/region_keys.go`. `loadRegionKeys` currently returns a flat +`map[string][]byte` built once at `main.go:111` and threaded through six call +sites. It becomes a two-tier, refreshable type: + +```go +type regionKeys struct { // immutable snapshot + explicit map[string][]byte // from hashRegions — always trusted + derived map[string][]byte // from node_declared_regions +} + +type regionKeySet struct { // live, refreshable + cur atomic.Pointer[regionKeys] +} +``` + +The ingest hot path reads via `set.snapshot()` — one atomic load, no lock. A +refresh builds the replacement map off to the side and swaps the pointer. This is +AGENTS.md rule 0: no expensive work under a lock in the ingest path. + +**Refresh** runs at startup and on a ticker. The query is one +`ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY target ORDER BY observed_at DESC)` over +`node_declared_regions`, covered by `idx_ndr_target`. At 205 targets it is +negligible. The ingestor already has the per-target `CurrentDeclaredRegions` +(`client_reception.go:552`); this adds the bulk variant beside it, mirroring +`AllCurrentDeclaredRegions` in `cmd/server/scopes.go`. + +**Configuration** — a new top-level block, default **off**: + +```json +"autoRegionKeys": { "enabled": false, "maxDerived": 256, "refreshMinutes": 15 } +``` + +Opt-in matches the existing `clientRxObservations` / `clientRfSamples` / +`clientRegions` flags. Note the codebase-wide gotcha those flags document: config +loading is plain `json.Unmarshal` with no `DisallowUnknownFields`, so a +mis-nested key is silently ignored. `autoRegionKeys` is **top-level**, a sibling +of `hashRegions`, not nested inside it. + +With `enabled: false` the derived tier stays empty and behaviour is byte-for-byte +what it is today. + +**Candidate filter.** A declared name is rejected when it is empty or longer than +32 characters, contains a non-printable character, a comma (the `regions_csv` +delimiter), or a `#` (the firmware strips it, so its presence signals a malformed +entry). Names already in `explicit` are skipped rather than duplicated. + +There is deliberately **no blocklist on name values**. The declared set contains +entries that look like junk (`null`, `bierhuis`, `sol3`), but a rule filtering on +string content is unmaintainable, and the cost of one is a single slot out of 256 +plus a 1-in-65536 collision chance. + +**Ranking when over `maxDerived`:** by number of distinct repeaters declaring the +name (descending), then most recent `observed_at`, then name. The long tail of +one-off names is dropped first; `#be` (declared by 127 repeaters) never is. Fully +deterministic, therefore testable. + +Every refresh logs the per-tier totals, names added, and names dropped. + +### 2. Matching with evidence + +`matchScope` returns a bare string today, discarding the difference between "no +key matched" and "several matched". It becomes: + +```go +type scopeMatch struct { + Name string // "" = unresolved + Reason scopeReason // unique | explicitOverDerived | pathDeclared | ambiguous | none + Candidates []string // populated once more than one key matches +} +``` + +Resolution tiers: + +1. Exactly one match → `unique`. +2. More than one, exactly one of them in `explicit` → that one, + `explicitOverDerived`. Operator intent beats RF hearsay, and this covers the + majority of the ambiguity this change itself introduces. +3. *(M3, gated)* Still tied, and exactly one candidate is declared by a node in + the packet's path → that one, `pathDeclared`. +4. Otherwise → `""`, `ambiguous` — the current behaviour. + +`transmissions.scope_name` keeps its existing three-state encoding. **No schema +migration and no new column:** `Reason` goes to logs and an in-process counter. +Naming a packet wrongly is worse than not naming it, and tier 4 preserves that. + +### 3. `scope-repair` must use the same key set + +`runScopeRepair` (`cmd/ingestor/scope_repair.go:274`) builds its keys with +`loadRegionKeys(cfg)` — explicit only. Left alone, a repair run would re-derive +every automatically-named row as unmatched and write `""` back over it. It must +build the same two-tier `regionKeySet`, including a derived-tier refresh, before +scanning. This is a data-loss bug if missed, not a detail. + +### 4. Scope-audit honesty (independent of 1–3) + +Regions stay unnameable even with derivation enabled: above the cap, or never +declared anywhere. The audit must be able to say so. + +`ScopeAuditForwarding` currently discards unmatched rows with a bare `continue` +(`cmd/server/scopes.go:530`). That becomes an `unmatchedPackets` counter on +`scopeAuditTargetAgg`, surfaced as a field on `ScopeAuditRow`, rendered as a +caveat chip in `public/scope-audit.js` in the same idiom as the existing +`possibly ambiguous` chip (`ambiguousCaveat`). + +No config coupling and no ingestor change: the server does not read +`hashRegions`, and adding that coupling would mislabel every region on any +deployment where the two binaries do not share a `config.json`. + +--- + +## Milestones + +### M1 — Scope-audit honesty + +`cmd/server/` and `public/` only.

AGENTS.md rule 0 requires proof for perf + claims, and this grows the key set by up to `maxDerived` (256 by default). + The instance's current explicit key count is not recorded here — it is + operator config — so the benchmark must sweep key-set size rather than assert + a single before/after. Note that the work is inherently + O(keys) per transport-scoped packet and **cannot be indexed** — the code depends + on the payload, so the "pre-indexed lookup table" suggested in `matchScope`'s + comment is not achievable. Measured against current traffic (~0.04 transport + packets/s) the cost is negligible, but it is linear, which is the reason the cap + exists. + +### M3 — Path-evidence tie-break (tier 3) — gated + +At ~180 keys (today's explicit set plus the 123 names currently declared) the +ambiguous share is ~0.27% of scoped packets, roughly 60 packets a week on this +network, and tier 2 absorbs most of it because the majority of +collisions will be explicit-against-derived. What is left for tier 3 may be ten +packets a week, against the cost of a prefix index over every declared target plus +plumbing path evidence into the decode path. + +**Build only if M2's `ambiguous` logging shows the volume justifies it.** The +design remains the tiered one; the last tier is built on measurement rather than +expectation. + +If built: candidate X wins when at least one resolvable path hop declares X and no +resolvable hop declares a competing candidate. Hops shorter than +`minForwarderHopHexLen` (4 hex chars) are ignored, matching the server's floor; a +hop whose truncated prefix resolves to several targets contributes the union of +their declared sets, so an inconclusive union abstains rather than guesses. + +### M4 — Customizer exposure + +AGENTS.md rule 8: `maxDerived` and `refreshMinutes` belong in the customizer. +Tracked, not built here. + +--- + +## Operational note + +Independent of this work, the immediate remedy for the live instance is to merge +the declared region names into `hashRegions`, restart the ingestor, and run +`ingestor scope-repair` (dry run first). `scope-repair` applies only +`"" → name` and `name → ""` where several keys now match; any other transition is +reported as `UNEXPECTED` and left unwritten. `-apply` requires stopping the +ingestor first: every UPDATE runs in one transaction and `busy_timeout` is 5s, so +a live ingestor would hit `SQLITE_BUSY`.

They are opposites: unscoped means the packet carried no scope at all (`scope_name` SQL NULL), unmatched means it carried one this instance cannot name (`scope_name` empty string). `scopeNameForDB` in `cmd/ingestor/db.go` is the source of truth for that encoding. +- The chip is a caveat, not an alarm. It reuses the muted, dashed-border treatment of `.sa-chip-ambiguous` on purpose — it must not compete visually with the red/green chips that carry the actual finding. From b84bf62b459c158c4268e292f1e372738d4f1442 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erwin Fiten Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 15:44:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 03/36] =?UTF-8?q?docs(plans):=20M2=20implementation=20plan?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20auto-derived=20region=20keys?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Eleven TDD tasks in cmd/ingestor: an opt-in autoRegionKeys config block (default off), a filter and deterministic ranking for declared names, a two-tier regionKeySet behind an atomic snapshot, tiered matching where an explicit hashRegions key beats a derived one, DeclaredRegionStats, startup plus ticker refresh, scope-repair pulled onto the same key set, and a key-set-size benchmark. The scope-repair task is a data-loss guard, not a nicety: repairing against the explicit tier alone would classify every derived name as 'named -> unmatched' and erase it. Tier 3 (path-evidence tie-break) is deliberately absent. The ambiguity counter added here is what measures whether it is worth building.

Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. + +**Goal:** Let the ingestor name transport-scoped traffic for regions the operator has not listed in `hashRegions`, by deriving keys from the region names repeaters declare over RF — opt-in, capped, and with a principled tie-break when two keys collide. + +**Architecture:** `loadRegionKeys` returns a flat `map[string][]byte` built once at startup and threaded through thirteen call sites. It becomes a live `*regionKeySet` holding an immutable `*regionKeySnapshot` behind an `atomic.Pointer`: the ingest hot path takes one atomic load per packet, and a background refresh builds a replacement off to the side and swaps it in. The snapshot carries a single merged key map to iterate plus a membership set naming which keys came from `hashRegions`, which is what makes the tie-break possible. + +**Tech Stack:** Go 1.x (`cmd/ingestor`, stdlib `testing`, `sync/atomic`, `crypto/hmac`), SQLite via `modernc.org/sqlite`. + +**Spec:** `docs/specs/2026-09-07-auto-region-keys-design.md`, sections 1–3. + +**Depends on:** nothing. Independent of M1 (`docs/plans/2026-09-07-scope-audit-unmatched-caveat.md`), which touches only `cmd/server` and `public/`. The two can land in either order. + +--- + +## Design constraints the implementer must not relax + +- **Default off.** `autoRegionKeys.enabled` absent or `false` must leave behaviour byte-for-byte identical to today. This is asserted by a test, not by inspection. +- **Naming a packet wrongly is worse than not naming it.** The existing `""` (ambiguous) outcome stays the fallback. Tier 2 resolves only the case where operator config and RF hearsay disagree; it never picks between two equally-sourced candidates. +- **No schema migration, no new column.** The match reason goes to logs and an in-process counter. +- **The work is O(keys) per transport-scoped packet and cannot be indexed** — `code1` is an HMAC over the payload, so there is no payload-independent lookup key. The comment in `matchScope` suggesting a "pre-indexed lookup table" is not achievable; delete it rather than leaving a false lead.

Both read the same database. Cause: scopeConformanceQuery and scopeAuditForwarderScanQuery credit a transmission to path[last] only. On a flood route every forwarder appends its hash to the END of the path, so path[last] means "heard directly by an uplinked observer", not "forwarded it". Both queries already filter route_type IN (0,1), where the DIRECT-route hazard that rule guards against cannot arise. Measured live (24h): the rule keeps 394 of 2789 hop observations (14%, mean path 7.08); 85% of nodes seen forwarding never appear as a last hop; 133 of 205 repeaters (65%) have zero attributable evidence, of which 110 relayed traffic in the window and 55 already carry a full-key-attributed transported_scopes. ambiguousHops is 0 on all 205 rows. Of 642 notObserved entries, 238 (37%) name a region this instance demonstrably can name. The approved 42% first-cause figure was an upper bound, as recorded — but not a lower bound, which was not visible then. Amendment adds M0 (drop the two predicates, restate the doc comments, re-measure) ahead of M1 and M2: until it lands, M2's effect on the audit is exactly zero for 65% of repeaters, which is indistinguishable from M2 not working.

The server field it reads (observedUnmatchedPackets) does not exist yet — the chip renders nothing until it does, which is asserted, so this is safe to land ahead of the backend and ahead of M0. A declared region absent from this instance's hashRegions can never turn green however much traffic the repeater forwards: the ingestor stores those packets with an empty scope_name, so there is no name to match the declaration against and the row reports "not observed" — a finding about someone else's repeater that is really a gap in our own config. The chip says which of the two it is. Deliberately reuses .sa-chip-ambiguous's muted dashed treatment: both are caveats on the row's finding, not findings, and neither may compete with the red/green scope chips. Six assertions, including that a non-numeric server value cannot become an injection point — the count is escaped, unlike the raw interpolation ambiguousCaveat still does. Untouched on purpose while another session holds them dirty: cmd/server/scopes.go (M0 + the counter this chip reads) and docs/api-spec.md.

On a flood route every forwarder appends its own hash to the END of the path (internal/packetpath/route.go), so path[last] does not mean "forwarded it" — it means "was the transmission an uplinked observer heard directly". Every earlier hop forwarded the same packet and was discarded. Both queries already filter route_type IN (0,1), where the DIRECT-route hazard the last-hop rule guards against cannot arise: a DIRECT route consumes hops from the front, so its path is the route's remaining plan rather than a record of who transmitted. Inside these two queries the restriction only threw evidence away. That filter is now the sole guard against misattribution, so it gets explicit tests rather than being left implied by the route constants. Found on BE-HHE-LAAK-EDG-01 (cf7903ce…7e12), whose Scopes card was empty — whole route mix zero for 1h/24h/7d — while its own node header listed transported_scopes ["#be","#be-vli","#eu","#fm-112"] from the same database, because byPathHop indexes every hop. Replaying its real 14-day traffic (373 transmissions, live path_json/route_type/scope_name) through both queries: old: 0 transmissions new: 156 — #be 127, #fm-112 7, #eu 1, unmatched 1, unscoped 20, route mix 136 transportFlood / 20 flood Network-wide the old rule kept 394 of 2789 hop observations (14%, mean path 7.08); 85% of nodes seen forwarding never appeared as a last hop, and 133 of 205 declared repeaters (65%) had no evidence of any kind, so every region they declare read "declared, not observed". Expect ambiguousHops to start firing — it was 0 on all 205 rows because the machinery never had enough hops. Widening the join makes ScopeConformance's EXISTS and ScopeAuditForwarding's "|" de-duplication load-bearing rather than belt-and-braces: one path can now match the same target on several hops (a routing loop, or two hops colliding on the same truncated prefix).

There are three states and the column has two colours. The question is answerable from data already stored. For repeater R declaring region X, derive SHA256("#X")[:16] and HMAC R's own unmatched packets with it: the same computation matchingRegions performs, with the candidate set narrowed to R's own declarations. Demonstrated by hand on e3d3f4d7: of 36 unmatched rows, 23 derive to fm-112 and 3 to behss, so both declared regions are provably forwarded and the page shows both grey. Narrow beats global for this question on three counts. It tests ~9 independently-supported hypotheses instead of ~180 unrelated ones, so it needs none of the cap/ranking/tie-break machinery section 1 exists to contain. It can require corroboration, which ingest-time naming structurally cannot: a chip turns green on two or more matching packets, making coincidence (1/65536)^2 rather than 1/65536. And it writes nothing, so a wrong answer expires with the window instead of sitting in scope_name until scope-repair runs. Query shape is load-bearing: the hop scan returns 19049 rows per 2000 packets after M0, so raw_hex comes from a second narrow query over the ~400 unmatched transmissions instead of widening that scan. M2 is re-scoped accordingly. It no longer fixes the audit; it fixes the packets page, scope-stats, default_scope and the per-node observed list. Real, but different value and lower urgency than this document originally claimed, and it should be sized against what M1b leaves.

Nothing written, no config, no schema change. Two design points carry the plan. The corroboration threshold is 2 and the arithmetic is the argument: code1 is two bytes, so one match happens by chance with probability 1/65536, and across ~400 unmatched packets and ~124 declared names that is roughly one false positive per refresh; two on the same region for the same repeater is (1/65536)^2. And the memo is not an optimisation — the naive shape is targets x names x packets (~740k HMACs, ~0.7s), while the work only depends on (region, transmission), which is ~50k and ~50ms. It is built in from the first task and asserted by a test that watches hmacCount. Verification deliberately does not call DecodePacket: decodePayload attempts decryption and signature validation this has no use for. It walks the offsets reusing decodeHeader/isTransportRoute/decodePath, so the arithmetic is not duplicated from DecodePacket either. The unit tests are built on transmission 0a065d41d51f1f77 from the live instance rather than a synthetic fixture — a hand-built packet would only prove the parser agrees with itself, whereas this one's code1 is exactly what #fm-112 derives over its own payload, which is the bug. M1's caveat chip is narrowed rather than removed: it now reports only what verification could not explain, which is a sharper finding — traffic for a region the repeater does not declare and this instance cannot name.

Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. + +**Goal:** Turn a declared region's chip green when this instance can *prove* the repeater forwards it, instead of leaving it grey with a footnote — by testing the repeater's own declared names against its own unnameable traffic. + +**Architecture:** For repeater R declaring region X, derive `SHA256("#X")[:16]`, HMAC each of R's unmatched forwarded packets with it, and compare to that packet's `code1`. Same computation `matchingRegions` performs in the ingestor, with the candidate set narrowed from every configured key to R's own ~9 declarations. Read-time in `cmd/server/`, nothing written, no config. A region needs **two** corroborating packets to go green. + +**Tech Stack:** Go 1.x (`cmd/server`, stdlib `crypto/hmac`, `crypto/sha256`, `testing`), vanilla JS frontend (`public/`). + +**Spec:** `docs/specs/2026-09-07-auto-region-keys-design.md`, "Architecture 3b" and "M1b" (`55f46a1d`). + +**Depends on M0 and M1**, both landed (`d93b4463`, and `70e6bcd5`/`ca464b59`/`79f38ef1`/`93a0c385`). M0 is what makes a mid-path repeater attributable at all; M1 is what counts its unmatched traffic. This plan turns that count into an answer. + +**Independent of M2** (`docs/plans/2026-09-07-auto-derived-region-keys.md`), which is entirely `cmd/ingestor/`. No shared files. Per the spec amendment, M2 no longer fixes the audit — this does. + +--- + +## Why two packets, not one + +`code1` is two bytes, so an unrelated region name matches a given packet with probability 1/65536. One match is therefore not evidence: across a network with 400 unmatched packets and 124 declared names, chance alone produces roughly one false match per audit refresh. Two matches on the *same* region for the *same* repeater is (1/65536)² — about one in four billion. That threshold is the whole reason this approach is sound where per-packet naming is not, so it is a named constant with a test, not a literal. + +--- + +## Cost, and the memo that makes it acceptable + +Naively this is `targets × declaredNames × unmatchedPackets` HMACs — 205 × 9 × 400 ≈ 740,000 per refresh, roughly 0.7s. Too much for a 30s cache to hide comfortably. + +But the work only depends on `(regionName, transmission)`, not on which target asked. Distinct pairs are `distinctDeclaredNames × unmatchedPackets` = 124 × 400 ≈ 50,000, about 50ms. **The memo is not an optimisation, it is what puts this inside AGENTS.md rule 0**, so it is built in from the first task rather than added later. + +--- + +## File Structure + +| File | Responsibility | Change | +|---|---|---| +| `cmd/server/scope_verify.go` | HMAC-input extraction, the memo, the verification pass | **Create** | +| `cmd/server/scope_verify_test.go` | Unit tests + benchmark | **Create** | +| `cmd/server/scopes.go` | `unmatchedTxIDs` on the agg; `RegionEvidence` on the row | Modify | +| `cmd/server/routes.go` | Run verification, subtract from `notObserved` | Modify | +| `cmd/server/scopes_test.go` | Handler-level tests | Modify | +| `public/scope-audit.js` | Evidence-aware chip title and marker; narrow the row caveat | Modify | +| `public/scope-audit.css` | `.sa-chip-verified` | Modify | +| `test-frontend-helpers.js` | Chip and caveat assertions | Modify | +| `docs/api-spec.md` | `regionEvidence` field + note | Modify | + +--- + +### Task 1: Extract the HMAC inputs from `raw_hex` + +No payload decoding: `decodePayload` attempts decryption and signature validation, none of which this needs, and running it on every unmatched packet every refresh is pure waste.

The second narrow query exists precisely to avoid that. +- **Do not fold verification into the ingestor.** It would then write `scope_name`, and a wrong answer would persist until someone ran `scope-repair`. Read-time means a wrong answer expires with the window. That difference is the reason this is M1b and not part of M2. +- **Case matters.** `regionCode` must not fold case: the key is a hash over the raw bytes of `#name`. From 64e3ac60eb1e8b25898eaa97f4c18d2096e8996b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erwin Fiten Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 16:33:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 14/36] feat(scope-audit): derive a region's on-wire code from a packet's own payload Task 1 of docs/plans/2026-09-07-declared-region-verification.md. scopeHMACInputs walks a raw_hex to the three values a region hypothesis needs - payload type, payload bytes, code1 - reusing decodeHeader, isTransportRoute and decodePath rather than duplicating the offsets. It does not call DecodePacket: decodePayload attempts decryption and signature validation this has no use for, on every unmatched packet on every refresh. regionCode is the forward direction of matchingRegions in the ingestor and must stay in step with it, including that case is significant - the key is a hash over the raw bytes of '#name'. Tests run on transmission 0a065d41d51f1f77 from the live instance, not a synthetic fixture: its code1 is exactly what #fm-112 derives over its own payload, which is the bug this milestone exists for. The plan's reserved-hash_size case was wrong (pathByte 0x41 with 0x80 as the first hop, rather than pathByte 0xC0); the test caught it and both the test and the plan are corrected.

This is the milestone's point: a chip turns green when the instance can prove the repeater forwards that region, instead of staying grey with a footnote. Only regions with no NAMED evidence are tested. That is not just an optimisation - it keeps the candidate set to exactly the open questions, so the verifier's work stays proportional to the problem rather than to the fleet. notObserved remains the single source of chip colour; RegionEvidence only says HOW a region was established, and explains a region that got exactly one hit and therefore stayed grey. Two fields that can disagree about the same fact is how this column got confusing in the first place. A failed verification query degrades to no verification rather than failing the request - the audit was useful before this existed. All 18 handler tests pass, including the sort tests the plan flagged as at risk: a verified region leaving notObserved changes a row's rank.

A region established by verification renders in the same green as one named from a configured key - it is observed either way - with a dotted underline and a tooltip saying how. A third colour would compete for attention in a column that already carries two. A region with exactly one corroborating packet stays grey and its tooltip says why: one match in 65536 by chance alone, two would be evidence. Silence there would look like an arbitrary refusal. The M1 caveat is narrowed rather than removed. It now reports only observedUnmatchedPackets minus what verification explained, which is a sharper finding than the old total: this repeater forwards a region it does not declare AND that this instance cannot name. Fully explained traffic raises no caveat at all, so the chip stops re-asking a question the Scopes column has just answered. 692 frontend assertions pass, up from 686.

The plan claimed ~50ms on the grounds that caching per (region, transmission) cuts the HMACs from ~10M to ~50k. Measured, it was 501ms - the HMACs had indeed become a rounding error, but the ITERATION was still targets x names x packets: 10.2M map lookups at ~49ns each. Caching the expensive operation is not the same as removing the expensive loop. Keyed per region instead, holding the set of transmissions that derive to it. A region is HMACed over every packet once; a target then asks one question per declared region rather than one per (region, packet), and since most declared regions match nothing the common case is a single lookup with no packet loop. before 501254220 ns/op after 35977350 ns/op (14x, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS) That is worst case: every one of 205 targets declaring all 124 names over all 400 packets.

Opt-in, matching the existing clientRxObservations / clientRfSamples / clientRegions flags. An absent block leaves behaviour byte-for-byte what it is today, which is asserted rather than assumed. Zero and negative overrides fall back to the defaults instead of being honoured: a zero is indistinguishable from an omitted key after json.Unmarshal, and a zero refresh interval would panic time.NewTicker.

The filter is structural, never about a name's meaning. The declared set contains entries that look like junk ('null', 'bierhuis', 'sol3') and they are kept: a blocklist on string values is unmaintainable, and one bad name costs a single slot out of maxDerived plus a 1-in-65536 collision chance. What is rejected is anything that cannot have come off the firmware intact - a comma (the regions_csv delimiter), a '#' (the firmware strips it), non-ASCII or whitespace (the key is a hash over raw bytes), a NUL (untrimmed block-cipher padding). Ranking breaks ties on name as its last step, which is what makes the cap deterministic: without it the derived tier would churn between refreshes on equally-ranked names and the add/drop logging would be noise rather than signal.

The ingest hot path reads via one atomic load; a refresh builds the replacement map off to the side and swaps the pointer, so a rebuild never blocks a packet (AGENTS.md rule 0). A snapshot already handed to a packet keeps its contents, which a test pins - an alias would let the key set change under a match in progress. refreshDerived REPLACES the derived tier rather than merging into it, so a region that stops being declared leaves the key set. Merging would make the cap meaningless within days. A declared name duplicating an explicit key is skipped rather than re-added: the explicit tier has to stay authoritative for the tie-break, and demoting a configured region because some repeater also declares it would invert the whole rule.

Its doc comment's suggestion of a 'pre-indexed lookup table' beyond ~50 regions goes with it, and a note in its place says why the idea must not come back: code1 is an HMAC over the payload, so there is nothing payload-independent to index on. That is precisely why maxDerived exists. - DeclaredRegionStats aggregates the latest answer per target, by observed_at and never ingested_at, so a drive buffered offline cannot resurrect a region a repeater has since dropped. '*' is excluded - it is the wildcard, not a region. - refreshFromStore runs at startup and on its own ticker, not the daily retention one: declared answers arrive continuously and waiting 24h to name a new region would defeat the point. A DB error keeps the CURRENT snapshot; an empty key set would silently unname all traffic, which looks exactly like the bug this fixes. Existing tests keep their old shape via two shims rather than being rewritten alongside the change they guard: regionSetFromKeys treats every key as explicit, which is what a hashRegions map meant, so the 1609 ambiguity assertions still hold. Full ingestor suite: only the pre-existing Windows symlink-privilege failure, which is byte-identical to master.

Left that way, a repair run would find no key for any automatically-named row, classify it as 'named -> unmatched', and write an empty scope_name over the name - a maintenance tool silently erasing exactly the data M2 exists to produce. It now builds the same two-tier set and refreshes the derived tier before scanning, and logs how many keys are in force so an operator can see at a glance whether the run was working from what they expected. The regression test builds a packet whose code1 IS #behss's derived code, so a revert fails it deterministically rather than depending on which rows happen to be in the database.

AGENTS.md rule 0: this triples the key set, so the claim needs proof. A sweep rather than a before/after, because the explicit tier's size is operator config and varies per deployment: keys=16 10861 ns/op keys=58 36984 ns/op keys=180 114349 ns/op keys=314 216683 ns/op (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS) Linear at ~0.65us per key, as it must be: code1 is an HMAC over the payload, so there is nothing payload-independent to index on and the cost cannot be made sublinear. That is the whole reason maxDerived exists. Against real load it is nothing. The reference deployment sees 22126 transport-scoped packets per 7 days, 0.037/s; at the 314-key ceiling that is 0.0008% of one core. It stays under 3% even at a sustained 100 packets/s, which is three orders of magnitude above what this network does. Unlike M1b's verifier there is no loop to hoist here - one HMAC per key per packet is the irreducible shape.

Carries only what git cannot: why the code is shaped this way, what is deliberately unfinished, and which measurements decide what happens next. Names the four real-data measurements and marks which are decisions rather than tick-boxes - the ambiguity rate decides whether M3 gets built, and the double-caveat count decides whether M0's widened attribution has made both caveat chips meaningless. Also records the traps: gofmt rewriting a two-quote digraph in doc comments, and that caching the expensive operation is not the same as removing the expensive loop (M1b measured 501ms with the HMACs already cached away).

A + ready-to-run script was produced this session but lives only in a scratchpad — regenerate + it from `/api/scope-audit`'s `declaredRegions` if you need it. Procedure: back up + `config.json`, merge (do not replace) with `jq '.hashRegions = ((.hashRegions // []) + $new | unique)'`, + restart only `corescope-ingestor`, run `ingestor scope-repair` as a dry run, read the + report, then `-apply` **with the ingestor stopped** — it does every UPDATE in one + transaction and `busy_timeout` is 5s, so a live ingestor hits `SQLITE_BUSY`. + Names are case-sensitive: the key is `SHA256("#name")[:16]`. + +4. **Four measurements**, three of which are decisions rather than tick-boxes: + - M2 default-off proof: startup log must read `autoRegionKeys disabled — only the N configured hashRegions key(s) are in force`, with no `[regions] derived` line. + - M2 feature-on proof: the refresh log reports declared/kept/total, and `scope-repair --dry-run` lists the newly named regions. + - **The ambiguity rate.** After a day with M2 on, read `[regions] scope matches: unique=… explicit-over-derived=… ambiguous=… none=…`. **That number decides whether M3 is built at all** — the spec estimates ~10 ambiguous packets a week after tier 2 absorbs the rest, which would not justify the machinery. Record it in the spec's M3 section, replacing the estimate. + - **The double-caveat check.** M0 widened attribution from 222 distinct last-hops to ~964 distinct hop prefixes, so `ambiguousHops` — currently 0 on all 205 rows precisely because so few hops were considered — will start firing. If both that chip and M1's unexplained-traffic chip end up lit on most rows, neither tells the reader anything. Pre-deploy baseline: **119 of 205 rows carry any finding**, both caveats at 0.

From 942761c4052f502d35d89ececed90242f812fc13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: efiten Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 22:19:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 34/36] perf(scope-audit): read the per-transmission columns once, not once per hop The forwarder scan carried scope_name and first_seen on every hop row. Both are columns of transmissions, and a 7d window on the live-shaped staging database returns 3,470,188 hop rows against 79,652 transmissions: 43 hop rows re-reading the same two values for each transmission. They now come from one separate query over the same window, keyed by transmission id, and the hop scan carries two columns instead of four. Both queries run in one read transaction, so a transmission arriving between them cannot appear in the hop scan with no metadata to attribute it by. The hop itself is lower-cased into a stack buffer rather than through strings.ToLower: 1,026,814 of the 1,284,897 hops in a 24h window are stored uppercase (packetpath.DecodePathFromRawHex writes them that way) and the great majority match no declared target, so that allocation was paid millions of times to answer "no". The (target, txID) de-duplication key is a struct for the same reason. Measured on that database at window 7d before this change: 16.7s total, of which 2.7s is SQLite. Every SQL-side reduction measured worse and was rejected: a first-4-hex prefix filter against the declared targets 20.9s, GROUP BY t.id, hop 38.0s, SELECT DISTINCT t.id, path_json 17.7s. The 3.47M rows are inherent to 1,368,761 observations carrying a path. Behaviour is unchanged. TestScopeAuditForwardingAttributesLongerHopByItsOwnLength is new and covers what the rewrite touches and the existing tests did not: they all seed 4-char hops, so nothing pinned that attribution keys on the hop's own length. Case folding was already covered, since seedTransmissionPathAt has always upper-cased its hops.

On the 7d window that scan is 16.7s over 3.47M hop rows, which is the shape where a thundering herd costs real work rather than a duplicated map build. The compute moves into computeScopeAudit and the handler wraps it in a singleflight, the same treatment /api/observers and /api/nodes/{pubkey}/reach already have. The TTL becomes per-window: 5 minutes for 7d, unchanged at 30s for 1h and 24h. Measured cold on the live-shaped staging database: 0.15s for 1h, 4.0s for 24h, 16.7s for 7d. At 30s a single reader with the 7d window open kept the instance recomputing more than half the time, for an aggregate covering a week of traffic where five minutes of staleness is not something the reader can act on differently. Two tests: one pins the per-window TTL so collapsing it back to a single constant has to delete the reason, one pins that a second request inside the TTL is served from the cache rather than recomputed. The cache path itself had no test before.
