KKRainbow 62e4fd15e9 feat(vpn): multi-client WireGuard portal with attached peers (#2502)
* feat(peer): support protocol-agnostic attached peers

Add locally attached peers backed by independent, peer-level portable
managers and authenticated in-process ring connections. Carry trusted
connection provenance through packet admission so attached relay
privileges cannot be forged through packet headers.

Let every peer manager own ACL loading, sanitized policy updates, route
refresh, and runtime cleanup. In Secure Mode, grant attached identities
ephemeral credentials instead of sharing administrator and group secrets.

* feat(vpn): add reusable attached-peer portal runtime

Add a protocol-neutral portal runtime that converts authenticated client
sessions into attached EasyTier peers. Own per-client generations,
status, packet forwarding, address translation, and peer cleanup without
knowing the transport protocol.

Add transactional IPv4 source and destination rewriting with correct
IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP, and quoted-packet checksum updates. Keep the old
production portal path temporarily active until the WireGuard adapter is
migrated in the next change.

* feat(wireguard): attach named clients through peer portal

Replace the monolithic WireGuard portal with a native adapter that owns
key derivation, UDP demultiplexing, reauthentication, roaming, and
bounded per-client packet queues. Hand authenticated sessions to the
generic portal runtime for peer lifecycle and IPv4 translation.

Move portal configuration into the core instance model, require a
dedicated server key, and preserve existing listener, CLI, and runtime
configuration behavior. Reject runtime address conflicts before
publishing shared configuration.

* feat(vpn): expose per-client portal status

Project configured clients and their runtime state through the portal
RPC, including generated client configuration, listener, peer identity,
endpoint, tunnel address, ACL groups, and errors. Keep private client
configuration out of the broad instance-info response and expose the
explicit RPC through the CLI and Tauri bridge.

* feat(vpn): add portal configuration to web clients

Expose WireGuard portal listener, key, client, ACL group, and runtime
status fields in the shared frontend library, Web dashboard, and Tauri
client. Preserve UUID and uint64 values across protobuf JSON
boundaries, keep dynamic client editor rows stable, and document the
portal workflow.

* test(vpn): cover multi-client and roaming WireGuard portals

Add two three-node integration tests for the WireGuard VPN portal.

The multi-client test connects two kernel WireGuard clients from
separate network namespaces, verifies per-client connectivity to mesh
nodes, and exercises cross-client traffic that runs the IPv4 source
and destination translation in both directions. A TCP echo exchange
through the portal additionally covers the TCP pseudo-header checksum
rewrite path that ICMP-only ping tests miss, and portal status
snapshots must report both clients online with distinct peer ids and
correctly learned tunnel addresses.

The roaming test swaps the client namespace address (delete the old
address, then add the new one) so the kernel WireGuard source cache is
invalidated and the client keeps sending under the same session from
the new source, exactly like a real network change. The portal must
update the client endpoint on the same peer id via the data path
(same generation, no re-handshake, no detach/reconnect) while
connectivity to mesh nodes is preserved.

Supporting changes: run_wireguard_client now takes an interface name,
and the shared namespace topology gains net_f (10.1.2.5) on the portal
bridge for the second client.

EasyTier Domain Context

Module layers

easytier-core layers dependencies from foundation upward through the portable networking domains. foundation contains infrastructure Modules that have no dependency on a networking domain and may be used by any higher layer.

Operation broker

An operation broker owns the lifecycle of asynchronous work submitted by an external caller to core. It allocates opaque operation IDs, arbitrates completion, cancellation, and disposal, retains terminal outcomes, and publishes a batch-drainable completion queue.

The broker does not interpret operation kinds, outcomes, resources, wire formats, or domain errors. Each domain Module owns those semantics and composes the broker under the same lock as any state that must change atomically with an operation transition.

Host capability operations use a separate seam. They turn Host readiness into Rust task wakeups and do not share the caller-to-core broker state machine.

Attached peer

An attached peer is an ordinary PeerManagerCore connected to another PeerManagerCore through an authenticated in-process transport. Each authenticated portal client owns one complete peer manager. The managers are protocol peers; attached describes only the local transport and its trusted ingress provenance, not a parent/child peer role.

Each manager owns its ACL execution state, route service, RPC endpoint, secure sessions, packet processing, and lifecycle. Portal code supplies raw packets and peer configuration but does not build, reload, or coordinate ACL filters.

When the network manager uses Secure Mode, an attached peer authenticates as a credential peer. Its portal-owned, in-memory credential grant carries ACL groups and is revoked with the attached runtime; the peer never receives the network secret or ACL group secrets. A non-Secure-Mode network retains the legacy admin-attached identity for compatibility. A credential peer cannot host a portal because it cannot issue credential grants.

Compact compatibility Host

A compact compatibility Host retains accepted values in the authoritative TOML model for management readback, while the shared host-aware normalization path omits capabilities that the compact runtime cannot execute. Omitted settings are silent no-ops and must not be advertised as live network capabilities.
