First slice of the `AF_TIPC` tpt backend: the addr type, the
`is_tipc_available()` capability predicate and the
name-publishing listener. No `MsgTransport` yet.
An actor's TIPC addr is a *service name* `(stype, instance)`:
`.bind()`ing the singleton `TIPC_ADDR_NAMESEQ` range IS the
service registration (it shows up in `tipc nametable show`)
and a peer's `.connect()`-by-name IS the lookup — so the
kernel does discovery for us, no registrar hop.
Deats,
- `.unwrap()` is proto-keyed as `('tipc', stype, inst, scope)`
using the `multiaddr` proto spelling so `wrap_address()`
can't confuse it with `tcp`s or `uds`s 2-tuples.
- `.rebind_from_sockname = False` bc `getsockname()` answers
a port-id; `.from_addr()` raises on a bare `TIPC_ADDR_ID`
rather than fabricate an un-dialable addr.
- `.bindspace` is the TIPC *scope*, i.e. literally the set of
hosts a published name is reachable from. `ZONE` scope is
deprecated/aliased so fold it to `CLUSTER` on input.
- mod stays importable on non-linux (uapi-value fallbacks,
the `_uds.SO_PASSCRED` precedent) bc `._addr` builds its
registration tables at import time.
XXX a `.get_random()` clash does NOT raise `EADDRINUSE` —
TIPC accepts multiple publishers of one name and round-robins
connects between them (verified against a live kernel), so a
collision is *silent crosstalk*. Hence the `blake2b` digest
and its (birthday-bounded) collision test.
Also,
- a generic `.is_available() -> (ok, why_not)` classmethod;
deliberately spelled generically (NOT `is_tipc_*`) so the
sibling env-dependent backends — `quic`/`iroh` (gh #353)
and the `wg` netns bindspace (gh #482) — get the same gate
for free. Its consumer lands w/ the reg tables.
- register a `tipc` pytest mark; the kernel-touching cases
self-skip unless `sudo modprobe tipc` has been run.
(this patch was generated in some part by `claude-code` using `claude-opus-5` (`anthropic`))
