Separate serializable bindspace declarations from live namespace
identity, FDs, ownership and teardown resources.
Require child namespace entry during spawn bootstrap, before actor
runtime initialization, then distinguish listen/dial provisioning and
owned/borrowed cleanup without encoding operation role into maddrs.

Drop the example-local address struct and hand-rolled single-tunnel
parser now that discovery owns the production implementation.
Keep only the explicit `wg(8)` peer probe in the multihost helper,
and update the examples and plan for nested parsing, packaged codec
dependencies and tractor-owned bindspace provisioning.

Introduce the first layer-A address type from the `wg` bindspace
plan without treating a transparent tunnel as a `MsgTransport`.
Deats,
- add frozen `WGTunnelSpec` and `TunnelledAddress` structs which
delegate proto identity, bindspace, validity and wire
serialization to their overlay
- add `strip_tunnels()` and `tunnels_of()` for nested wrappers
- recognize wrappers in `is_wrapped_addr()` while keeping them out
of `_address_types`
- cover delegation, namespace fallback and nested peeling semantics
Also,
- widen `Address.namespace` ids for named netns
- export the new discovery API
- clarify that tractor's layer-C bindspace lifecycle may provision
the kernel-owned bearer without making it a `MsgTransport`

§3.2 specced a pure fn `_peel_tunnel_segs(proto_names) ->
(bearer_names, tunnel_specs, overlay_names)` to split a maddr at
its tunnel seg. It should never be written: `py-multiaddr` ships
that whole surface already and the plan simply missed it, even
though gh #443's 2nd bullet links the README sections in
question.
Replaced w/ a ⚠️ CORRECTION carrying the verified API table
(`.decapsulate_code(P_WG)` for the bearer, `.split()`/`.join()`
for a seg tail, `.value_for_protocol()` to read a value,
`.encapsulate()` to recompose) plus *why* it works on an infix
`/wg/` seg: the cut is by proto-code, never by matching an addr
value, and the key seg has no addr of its own.
Also,
- adopt `bearer`/`overlay` as the role names throughout, and say
plainly why not `inner`/`outer` — the call-stack reading of
"inner" is the exact opposite of the encapsulation one.
- warn that `value_for_protocol('ip4')` on a full tunnelled
maddr silently yields the *bearer's* host; only call it on a
peeled sub-maddr.
- note nesting (wg-in-wg) falls out of `.decapsulate_code()`
cutting at the *last* occurrence, so peel repeatedly rather
than recursing through a bespoke splitter.
- `mk_maddr()` for `TunnelledAddress` is `.encapsulate()`
composition, not `str` building.
- README: drop the "degrades to a plain segment split" para,
since that path is gone — no codec now means one actionable
raise.

it lands" framing in plan-03 and the example README was stale in
both directions: the branch pin is obsolete, yet you still can't
just `pip install multiaddr`.
Deats,
- §3.2's grammar table is now re-verified against the upstream
merge (`f86519da`) rather than only `baudco@wg_support` in a
throwaway venv. Also notes the codec enforces a 32-byte key,
so a truncated one is a `StringParseError` and not a silently
mangled parse.
- §1 says merged-but-unreleased; the still-open work is spec
registration (py-multiaddr#107 + gh #483).
- §3.4 swaps "pin the branch" for the `[tool.uv.sources]` `rev`
pin, and fixes the `_have_wg_maddr_proto()` recipe it
suggested — probing w/ `Multiaddr('/wg/uAAAA')` now ALWAYS
raises bc the codec wants 32B, i.e. that feature-detect would
report `False` even w/ the proto perfectly well known.
- risk table row goes "#108 not merged" -> "merged but
unreleased".
- example README: `uv sync` alone now suffices bc of the pin;
documents the 32B check and points at
`_have_wg_maddr_proto()` as the gate.
The one surviving `baudco` mention is deliberate, it records
where the grammar was *first* verified.

`tests/test_docs_examples.py` walks `examples/` **recursively**
and subproc-runs every collected file asserting `rc == 0`. Ran
its exact filter against the tree: all 4 of our files were being
collected — including `README.md`, since the filter never checks
the extension, so CI would have literally tried `python
README.md`. These need a real second host + a live `wg` tunnel,
so they can't ever satisfy that gate.
`'multihost' not in p[0]` is already in the test's exclusion
list w/ no dir yet using it, so this is a pure `git mv` — zero
test changes — and it's what the exclusion was plainly there
for. Collection drops 24 -> 20 files, 0 of them ours.
Also records *why* in the two places someone would look before
adding the next one: a callout at the top of the example README
and a note on plan 03's §3.4 deliverables. Anything needing a
second host or live tunnel goes under `examples/multihost/`.

The prior revision (and gh #482's examples) had it as a suffix,
`/ip4/10.0.11.1/tcp/1616/wg/u<key>`. Wrong: verified against
`baudco/py-multiaddr@wg_support` (py-multiaddr#108) installed in
a throwaway venv, the canonical form is
/ip4/192.168.1.50/udp/51820/wg/u<A_pub>/ip4/10.0.11.1/tcp/1616
where segs *before* `/wg/` are the **bearer** — the underlay
`(ip, udp-port)` `wg(8)` itself listens on (`ListenPort`), per
the codec docstring's own example — and segs *after* are the
**overlay** ep, the only part we ever bind. The suffix form does
parse, which is why it slipped through, but it's semantically
inverted: overlay addr where the bearer belongs, `tcp` where
wg's `udp` goes, and no overlay ep declared at all.
Records the observed `[p.name for p in m.protocols()]` lists so
the `match` can be written against fact, and replaces the
"composed vs not" framing w/ what's actually the design axis:
three parts, three **owners** — bearer bound by the kernel via
`wg-quick`/`pyroute2`, `/wg/u<key>` bound by nothing (it's an
identity, verified out-of-band), overlay bound by our
`IPCServer` as `.inner`. `_peel_tunnel_segs()` correspondingly
grows a 3rd return, splitting *at* the tunnel seg so nested
tunnels fall out for free.
Also hoists the netns conclusion to the top of §5.3 where it
can't be missed: netns is a **runtime-level config API, not an
actor-app-code one**. It's a spawn/boot-time input alongside
`enable_transports`/`tpt_bind_addrs`, deliberately w/ no
`await actor.enter_netns(...)`, because `setns(2)` neither moves
already-created sockets nor applies beyond the calling thread —
so a mid-life API would silently leave the IPC server bound in
the old ns.

Shape-matching in `wrap_address()` doesn't survive 4 backends and
the plans were papering over it: TIPC's natural unwrapped form is
a `(str, int)`, indistinguishable from `TCPAddress`, and iroh's
is a `(str, str)`, which the *existing* UDS case
(`case (_, filename) if type(filename) is str`) already swallows.
So the contract doc (§1.1) now carries the conclusion as a
**recommended prerequisite for all three backends**: make the
unwrapped form carry an explicit proto-key spelled with the
`multiaddr` protocol name — `('tcp', host, port)`,
`('unix', path)`, `('tipc', stype, inst, scope)`. `wrap_address()`
then collapses from an order-sensitive `match` to
`_address_types[addr[0]]` and the whole collision class stops
existing, while the on-wire form finally agrees w/
`mk_maddr()`/`parse_maddr()` instead of being an independent
invention.
Two consequences spelled out: it's a wire-format change
(`SpawnSpec`, `_root_mailbox`, `_registry_addrs`) + every fixture
+ downstream config, so it wants its own migration commit landed
*before* any new backend; and it's the moment to stop handing raw
tuples to users at all — `Address` becomes the public currency
and `UnwrappedAddress` an internal serialization detail, the same
discipline `ipaddress` uses (you pass `IPv4Address`, never a
4-tuple).
Plan 01 §2.2 is rewritten to match and to explicitly **retract**
its own earlier `('tipc:<stype>:<scope>', instance)` self-tagging
prefix hack — it keeps `wrap_address()` order-sensitive and does
nothing for the iroh/UDS collision, so the doc says don't
resurrect it. Registration checklist item 4 likewise becomes "do
the migration first, then this is a one-line `_address_types`
entry".
Also seeds a `/tipc` multiaddr-spec submission as a follow-up,
mirroring the `wg` track (multiformats/py-multiaddr#107/#108 + gh

Landing page for `ai/tpt-backends/`: points at the contract spec
as required first reading, tables the 3 plans against their
issues/deps/size, and states the landing order + why.
Deats,
- TIPC first as the cheap proof the table-registration story
generalizes to a genuinely new proto (stdlib-only, and
`trio`'s sock wrappers are family-agnostic).
- `wg` layer-A next since it's deployable-today doc/example work.
- QUIC last, gated on its own prep PR.
- notes that plans 01 and 02 both want the same
`Address.rebind_from_sockname` gate, so whichever lands first
ships it.

Plan doc for gh #482 + the tunnelled-maddr item of #443. Pushes
back on the framing that `wg` is a tpt: it's transparent to
`socket(2)`, so it belongs as a *bindspace* — a scoped
`@acm`-managed net ctx that an existing L4 tpt binds *inside* —
and it's what finally implements the long-spec'd (never
implemented) `Address.namespace`.
Deats, 3 independently-shippable layers,
- A) declarative: commit #482's examples, teach `parse_maddr()`
the `/…/wg/u<key>` suffix -> a `TunnelledAddress` wrapper whose
`.proto_key`/`.unwrap()` delegate to `.inner` so nothing new
crosses the wire and every existing table lookup keeps working.
- B) swap the `subprocess.run(['sudo', 'wg', 'show'])` shelling
for `pyroute2`. Default to `trio.to_thread` around the sync API
(these are one-shot ops at bind/teardown, never hot-path), w/
sans-io codecs + a trio `AF_NETLINK` sock as the follow-up for
the read paths. Explicitly forbids dragging `trio-asyncio` in.
- C) `open_bindspace()`/`open_netns()`/`open_wg_iface()` `@acm`s
folded w/ an `AsyncExitStack`, + filling in the
`# !TODO, always be ns aware!` placeholder already sitting in
`Endpoint.pformat()`.
Also flags the subtlest bug in the whole thing: `setns(2)` is
*per-thread*, so a `pyroute2` query issued via `trio.to_thread`
lands in the *original* netns. Test-first, per usual.
Further, designs for the generalization (`TunnelSpec` union +
`match` dispatch) while only implementing `wg`+netns, and calls
out `veth`-in-netns as the better *first* one bc it makes a
fully self-contained two-"host" integration test possible w/o
`wg` at all.

Plan doc for gh #353. Picks `iroh` (the `uniffi` FFI pkg) over
`aioquic`/`quiche` bc node-id addressing + hole-punching + relay
fallback is the whole point; `aioquic` stays documented as the
fallback since ~90% of the adapters here are reusable against a
sans-io core.
Deats,
- the layering: iroh `Endpoint` per actor, `Connection` per peer
(pooled via `trionics.maybe_open_context()`, not a hand-rolled
cache), one bi-stream per `Channel`. 4-byte prefix framing
stays so `MsgpackTransport` is untouched.
- `_uniffi_trio.py`: uniffi only uses `asyncio` as the executor
for its rust-future poll loop, so a ~40-line
`TrioToken.run_sync_soon()` bridge replaces it. Spells out the
real hazards — strong ref on the `ctypes` trampoline, poll-code
propagation, and a *bounded* shielded cancel-drain so a wedged
rust future can't make an actor un-cancellable.
- `IrohAddress` w/ ALPN as the `.bindspace`, the `(str, str)`
unwrapped form's collision w/ the UDS match-case, and why
`get_root()` needs a persisted secret key -> a lazy
`default_lo_addrs()` + a pure-getter/explicit-setter split.
- `QuicMsgStream(trio.abc.HalfCloseableStream)` +
`QuicListener(trio.abc.Listener)`, incl. the exact
EOF/reset/use-after-close semantics `_transport.py` already
match-cases on, and hanging the acceptor tasks off the
existing `Endpoint.listen_tn`.
- a prep-PR boundary: annotation widening, the shared
`rebind_from_sockname` gate and a `tpt_key`-based
`transport_from_stream()` dispatch, all landable w/ tcp/uds as
the only backends.
Further, notes this is our first tpt w/ real transport security
+ peer auth, so an inbound node-id allowlist hook belongs here —
and that it says nothing about the other backends.

Plan doc for gh #378, the cheapest new backend we can add: it's
stdlib-only (CPython ships `AF_TIPC` + 23 `TIPC_*` consts) and
per the contract doc `trio`'s stream/listener wrappers don't care
about the addr family, so `MsgpackTransport` framing and
`trio.serve_listeners()` are reused verbatim.
Deats,
- `TIPCAddress` as a *service name* `(type, instance)` w/ scope
as the `.bindspace`; `bind()` publishes the singleton
name-range, peers `connect()` by name and the kernel resolves
+ load-balances. I.e. registration/lookup for free, no
registrar in the loop.
- the self-tagging `('tipc:<stype>:<scope>', instance)` unwrapped
form + why it must be match-ordered before `TCPAddress`'s.
- `get_random()` via a blake2b digest of the actor id (there's no
`port=0` analogue) and the silent-crosstalk risk that follows:
TIPC *allows* dup binders and round-robins, so a collision
doesn't `EADDRINUSE`, it cross-talks.
- an `Address.rebind_from_sockname` ClassVar to opt out of
`Endpoint.start_listener()`'s `getsockname()` reconcile, which
for TIPC always returns a port-id, never the bound name.
- the `TIPC_TOP_SRV` topology-service subscription as an `@acm`
yielding a chan of typed name-table events — push-based
register/dereg, the real "end game cluster proto" bit.
- commit sequencing, hard capability gating (`modprobe tipc`;
bare `AF_TIPC` is `EAFNOSUPPORT` on a stock box), CI matrix
notes, risks + follow-up seeds.

First doc of a new `ai/tpt-backends/` set: the normative
description of what a `tractor` tpt backend *is* as of `main`,
written so the 3 sibling plans (TIPC, QUIC, `wg`) can be worked
independently (by another model/provider) w/o design drift.
Deats,
- the backend duck-type as empirically derived from
`_tcp.py`/`_uds.py`: the `Address` protocol surface, the
mod-level `start_listener()`/`close_listener()` pair and
`Msgpack<Proto>Stream(MsgpackTransport)`.
- the ONE reflection you can't break:
`Endpoint.start_listener()` resolves the tpt mod via
`inspect.getmodule(self.addr)`, so an `Address` type and its
listener fns MUST live in the same mod.
- a 10-item registration checklist (`_address_types`,
`_key_to_transport`, `_addr_to_transport`, `wrap_address()`
match-cases, `TransportProtocolKey`, maddr tables, ..) incl.
the import-time `_default_lo_addrs` trap.
- where the `trio.SocketListener` assumption is *actually*
load-bearing (just the `getsockname()` reconcile) vs. merely
annotated.
- the handshake/discovery invariants a new backend inherits,
dep policy (extras + import-laziness per the #470 boot-latency
budget), `--tpt-proto` harness plumbing and code style.
Also, records a verified finding the plans lean on hard:
`trio.SocketStream`/`SocketListener` are addr-*family* agnostic
— the only ctor checks are "is a trio sock" + `SOCK_STREAM` (+
an `OSError`-suppressed `SO_ACCEPTCONN`) — so any `SOCK_STREAM`
family CPython can make drops into the existing
`trio.serve_listeners()` path unmodified.
