* feat: support allocating public IPv6 addresses from a provider
Add a provider/leaser architecture for public IPv6 address allocation
between nodes in the same network:
- A node with `--ipv6-public-addr-provider` advertises a delegable
public IPv6 prefix (auto-detected from kernel routes or manually
configured via `--ipv6-public-addr-prefix`).
- Other nodes with `--ipv6-public-addr-auto` request a /128 lease from
the selected provider via a new RPC service (PublicIpv6AddrRpc).
- Leases have a 30s TTL, renewed every 10s by the client routine.
- The provider allocates addresses deterministically from its prefix
using instance-UUID-based hashing to prefer stable assignments.
- Routes to peer leases are installed on the TUN device, and each
client's own /128 is assigned as its IPv6 address.
Also includes netlink IPv6 route table inspection, integration tests,
and event-driven route/address reconciliation.

- propagate reusable through credential storage, CLI, RPC, routing, and tests
- enforce reusable=false owner election with current topology
- preserve proof-backed groups when refreshing credential ACL groups
introduces support for custom credential ID generation, allowing users to specify their own credential IDs instead of relying solely on auto-generated UUIDs.
- add credential manager and RPC/CLI for generate/list/revoke
- support credential-based Noise authentication and revocation handling
- propagate trusted credential metadata through OSPF route sync
- classify direct peers by auth level in session maintenance
- normalize sender credential flag for legacy non-secure compatibility
- add unit/integration tests for credential join, relay and revocation
This change introduces a major refactoring of the RPC service layer to improve modularity, unify the API, and simplify the overall architecture.
Key changes:
- Replaced per-network-instance RPC services with a single global RPC server, reducing resource usage and simplifying management.
- All clients (CLI, Web UI, etc.) now interact with EasyTier core through a unified RPC entrypoint, enabling consistent authentication and control.
- RPC implementation logic has been moved to `easytier/src/rpc_service/` and organized by functionality (e.g., `instance_manage.rs`, `peer_manage.rs`, `config.rs`) for better maintainability.
- Standardized Protobuf API definitions under `easytier/src/proto/` with an `api_` prefix (e.g., `cli.proto` → `api_instance.proto`) to provide a consistent interface.
- CLI commands now require explicit `--instance-id` or `--instance-name` when multiple network instances are running; the parameter is optional when only one instance exists.
BREAKING CHANGE:
RPC portal configuration (`rpc_portal` and `rpc_portal_whitelist`) has been removed from per-instance configs and the Web UI. The RPC listen address must now be specified globally via the `--rpc-portal` command-line flag or the `ET_RPC_PORTAL` environment variable, as there is only one RPC service for the entire application.
* support ipv6 stun
* show interface and public ip in cli node info
* direct conn should keep trying unless already direct connected
* peer should use conn with smallest latency
* deprecate ipv6_listener, use -l instead
This patch removes Tarpc & Tonic GRPC and implements a customized rpc framework, which can be used by peer rpc and cli interface.
web config server can also use this rpc framework.
moreover, rewrite the public server logic, use ospf route to implement public server based networking. this make public server mesh possible.
