Changes

Changed

• The workspace now depends on the published FIPS 0.3.67/0.3.42 crates, which
  carry the stale-path and raw-UDP pacing fixes plus a final receive-loop
  scheduling reduction that bounds non-packet, fallback, and side-turn work
  between dataplane receives under LAN load.
• Release-gate local-FIPS runs and the fast FIPS safety suite now include the
  overlay/update-peers regression filters that cover this stale-path class.
• The optional host-pair loaded-latency release gate now clamps sub-second ping
  intervals on non-root macOS and exposes an explicit
  NVPN_RELEASE_GATE_HOST_PAIR_LOADED_MAX_STALL_INTERVALS threshold for live
  Wi-Fi/LAN runs.

Fixed

• Active direct-path refreshes can now reach FIPS path-candidate reclaim logic
  even when the per-peer race budget is already full, so better configured
  paths are not blocked behind lower-priority in-flight attempts.
• macOS private-mesh LAN transfers no longer require launchd pacing overrides
  to keep loaded-latency stable during sustained TCP traffic.
