Mandatory OpenFUT architecture audit. Two real defects found and fixed, plus
the config surface tightened so neither class can recur.
DEFECT 1 -- hidden localhost fallback. The Rust host defaulted POW hosts to
127.0.0.1 while every other URL followed OPENFUT_ADVERTISE, so a remote
deployment would emit loopback POW URLs and fail far from the cause. It also
diverged from the deployed Python entrypoint, which derives them
(POW_HOST="${POW_HOST:-$ADV:8094}"). POW endpoints now derive from the
advertised address; explicit overrides still win.
DEFECT 2 -- Default gave loopback silently. `Endpoints::default()` and
`AdapterConfig::default()` supplied 127.0.0.1, so anything constructing a
config by omission got loopback with no signal. Both `Default` impls are
REMOVED. Loopback is now `Endpoints::loopback()` / `AdapterConfig::loopback()`:
an explicit, greppable decision. Production uses `advertising(host)`.
CONFIGURABILITY. `blaze_port` and `utas_port` are now config, not literals.
The advertised Blaze port is our choice -- the client goes wherever
<serverinstanceinfo> sends it -- and 8099 is the client's own built-in default
but still deployment config. A bad port value is an error, not a silent
fallback to the previous one.
TEST-NET EVERYWHERE. Committed fixtures and tests used the lab's real LAN
address; a test that passes because its constant matches the current lab
proves nothing about relocatability. Redirector fixtures regenerated on
RFC 5737 TEST-NET-1/2/3 plus loopback. Harness scripts no longer default the
client IP to the lab address -- client-state.sh now requires it.
SEVEN REQUIRED TESTS in tests/deployment_config.rs plus host-side coverage:
remote config never silently becomes localhost; missing advertise fails
clearly; bind may differ from advertise; changing the Blaze port changes the
redirect; changing the host updates all 200+ generated URLs with no
stragglers; no helper bypasses central config; mutations are detectable.
MUTATION TESTED, and it found a hole in the audit tests themselves. Hardcoding
utas_base, reverting the POW derivation and re-hardcoding the Blaze port were
all caught. Making the redirector read `bind` instead of `advertise` was NOT:
`advertising()` sets bind == advertise, so the two sources were
indistinguishable. That is the single most likely bypass -- the oracle really
does read bind for nucleusConnect -- so the test now forces bind != advertise
and asserts the bind address never reaches the wire. Re-mutated: caught.
Wire behaviour unchanged: oracle fixtures still current, 153 tests green.
