This is the second slice of R76. It puts the connetto-peer link inside the native client, behind a new peer feature, so an enrolled device listens for and dials other devices of its deployment with no server in the loop. The enrolment task, which already tracks the device's certificate, now drives the link from it, following R76's table of link events against the device's standing. A device with a valid certificate listens at the address the builder names and dials with link_peer. A renewal keeps the port and every live link. An expired certificate, a clock outside the window, a withdrawn certificate or a revocation closes every link and stops the listener, each reported with its own reason. A revocation list a peer sends goes through the same intake as one the server pushes, and every newer list, whatever its source, reaches every link that lacks it.

Two decisions taken for this slice also land in connetto-peer. Each end closes a link when the peer's certificate expires, and the task wakes exactly at its own expiry, so no link outlives a certificate by the hourly look's slack. A renewed certificate travels to every live link in a new Certificate frame and moves that link's deadline, so a renewal never breaks a link. The test against the real server carries R74's proof 3. Three devices enrol, one reports another lost, and the server stops. The third device learns the report only from a peer and refuses the reported device's dial. The branch sits on #134 until that one merges.

Enrolled clients had no peer transport, so they could not link directly when the server was unavailable. The peer feature adds certificate-authenticated links with revocation-list exchange and bounded liveness checks.

The enrolment task keeps the listener and links active while the device certificate is valid, updates them on renewal, and closes them when the certificate becomes unusable or the device is withdrawn or revoked. This ties peer link lifecycle to the same certificate state that governs client enrolment.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds the connetto-peer crate for mutual-TLS device links and revocation-list exchange. A feature-gated client integration configures peer listening and dialing, updates peer availability with certificate standing, and processes peer events and lists.

Changes

Device-to-device peer links

Layer / File(s) Summary
Peer protocol and trust contracts
Cargo.toml, crates/connetto-peer/Cargo.toml, crates/connetto-peer/README.md, crates/connetto-peer/src/{error,event,frame,identity,lib,signer,verify}.rs, .github/workflows/{ci,coverage}.yml
Adds the connetto-peer workspace crate, public peer-link types, length-prefixed MessagePack frames, TLS signing and certificate verification, and test and coverage shard entries.
Peer node connection and list exchange
crates/connetto-peer/src/node.rs, crates/connetto-peer/src/tests.rs
Adds mutual-TLS listening and dialing, hello exchange, link registration, and verified revocation-list intake and propagation. Tests cover trust, attestation, list exchange, and dialing outcomes.
Peer link protocol and lifecycle
crates/connetto-peer/src/link.rs, crates/connetto-peer/src/tests.rs
Adds frame handling, keepalives, certificate renewal, timeout and close handling. Tests cover liveness, duplicate links, frame limits, expiry, and renewal.
Client peer configuration and API
crates/connetto-client/Cargo.toml, crates/connetto-client/src/builder/native.rs, crates/connetto-client/src/lib.rs, crates/connetto-client/src/enrolment/mod.rs
Adds the peer feature, listener and attestation configuration, peer construction, client methods, peer errors and events, and certificate-standing helpers.
Enrolment lifecycle and validation
crates/connetto-client/src/enrolment/task.rs, crates/connetto-client/src/enrolment/tests.rs, crates/connetto-client/tests/it/enrolment.rs, docs/architecture/19-device-to-device.md, plans/master-implementation-plan.md
The enrolment task starts and stops peer serving based on certificate standing, forwards peer events and lists, and stops the node during cleanup. Tests cover certificate transitions, revocation exchange, and peer-link behavior. Documentation and plan status record the built peer slices.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 59f27

The peer-link integration adds certificate-lifecycle and revocation behavior. Several gaps remain. A device whose certificate was withdrawn or revoked can still briefly link to peers. A revoked peer can stay linked if a list arrives during its handshake. Renewal retries can stall for days while the certificate is aging. Fix these before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 78.61% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 173 functions across 16 files. (8 skipped: 8 unsupported.)

Full details: Git Dependency Pin Stays Out Of Commits

Explanation

Cargo.lock is modified by this pull request: it adds the connetto-peer package and updates connetto-client dependencies. The repository still declares bare or branch-only git = dependencies without rev or tag, including diesel-sqlite-session in crates/connetto-client/Cargo.toml and diesel, sqlparser, and pg2sqlite entries across workspace and example manifests. This breaks the invariant that a changed lockfile must not coexist with unpinned Git sources.

Resolution

Add an explicit immutable rev or tag to every Git dependency without one across all repository Cargo.toml files, then regenerate Cargo.lock. Alternatively, do not modify Cargo.lock if the dependency changes can remain valid without a lockfile update.

Full details: Crate Readme Is The Crate Documentation

Explanation

crates/connetto-client/src/lib.rs changed in this pull request but does not contain #![doc = include_str!("../README.md")]. This breaks the crate-documentation invariant. The new connetto-peer library satisfies the invariant, and its README has no ignore or no_run Rust fence.

Review comments at @crates/connetto-peer/src/node.rs:
- Around line 184-192: Add a `# Panics` section to the rustdoc for `Node::new`,
documenting that it panics when a root holds no key, as propagated from
`with_liveness`.
- Around line 318-323: Update link to check the node’s serving state before
starting any network I/O, returning LinkError::NotServing when it is stopped.
Update stop_state to clear identity when stopping so a withdrawn or revoked node
cannot retain its certificate for later dials.
