  • docs(wiki): sync wiki with 44673dfea..15f9b98ae (211 commits) Updated 29 existing pages. No new pages. Breaking CLI change: a bare `ze <config-file>` no longer starts the daemon. Position 1 accepted a command OR a free-form path, so a config named like a command was dispatched as that command and never loaded. Launch is now `ze start <config-file>`, with `-` kept as the stdin sentinel. Corrected in quick-start, starting-and-stopping (including its systemd unit), command-reference, debugging, scenarios, chaos-tested-peering and exabgp-migration-walkthrough. command-reference also gains a `ze start` section with its own flags. Also flipped: `ze config set`, `activate` and `deactivate` no longer notify a running daemon by default. `--reload` opts in and `--no-reload` is gone. Feature gates grew from 12 to 36 and now include the BGP engine itself, the BNG, IPsec, VPP and every routing protocol. building.md gets the full grouped list, the generated `go install` line, and the dependency rules that make it usable: ze_bmp needs ze_bgp, and bfd/api stays always-on so a BFD-less build still runs BGP and OSPF unchanged. status, feature-inventory, comparison and glossary all carried the stale twelve-tag list. RFC gate: 138 enrolled RFCs over 1466 gated requirements became 166 documents over 2720, none outstanding. Documented the four regression ratchets and the extraction-completeness pass, including why deleting a requirement is blocked: it would otherwise be the cheapest route from red to green, cheaper than declaring a gap, which would pressure contributors to hide obligations. Protocol correctness, documented where an operator would look for it: - route-injection: an operator-supplied as-path gets the local AS prepended for a plain eBGP peer (RFC 4271 5.1.2). Verbatim transparency is scoped to RS clients, so the two never share a built UPDATE. - peers: RFC 6286 identifier validation on both receive rails, AS-wide uniqueness, and the allow-shared-router-id opt-out for anycast speakers. - graceful-restart: RFC 9494 4.6 depreference on stale readvertisement is driven by stale level rather than restart state, so mark-stale routes are covered too. - bgp-nlri-ls: an unknown NLRI type is skipped, not fatal to every NLRI after it, per RFC 9552 5.1. - bgp-nlri-evpn: Ze is a control-plane relay and not a PE; malformed IP Address Length is rejected. - bgp-rib: multipath ECMP group installation and the ecmp-paths field. Security and robustness: authorization fails closed on an unresolved profile, with the reserved-namespace break-glass path and the AAA ingress filtering that stops an untrusted RADIUS or TACACS+ server naming it. EAP-TLS refuses a responder that has no trust anchor to validate against. static isolates one unprogrammable route instead of failing the whole section, withdraws the orphaned old route on a skipped replacement, and surfaces both through skip-reason and a doctor check. Operator traps now named: the pinned appliance kernel ships no L2TP and Ze's fail-closed probe crash-loops the daemon on it with nothing useful on serial; policy routing needs a filter chain because nftables rejects a route chain on prerouting, which took the plugin down at startup; nft set-element timeouts silently never expired until the set-level flag was set. ci.md claimed the CI configuration was not in the repository. It is: validation moved off Codeberg's shared Woodpecker runners onto GitHub Actions, six workflows, with the stage list single-sourced in stagesForMode so a gate absent from that function runs nowhere. testing.md gains the test-health dashboard (is our testing correct, not is it large), the two sensitivity ratchets, the accept-only .ci lint and its shrink-only baseline, and the needs-linux and netns-link directives.

  • Flatten wiki to root directory for GitHub wiki compatibility GitHub wiki resolves pages by filename in the root directory only. Moved all 123 .md files from subdirectories to root. Renamed configuration/interfaces.md to configuration-interfaces.md to avoid collision with interfaces/interfaces.md. Fixed 8 image paths. Subdirectories are now empty (images/ retained for assets).
