Resolve conflicts against the upstream wave (PRs #2952-#2965, incl. the
typed-response/schema hardening and the drop of Python 3.10):
- controller/node.py: keep upstream's _transitioning/_confirm_status
lifecycle guard; the kernel-anchor link wiring (node_started) runs
after the transition completes.
- controller/link.py: keep upstream's add_node rollback (release_ports
on create failure) and delete via release_ports; release_ports now
resolves ports live (same staleness reason as _bind_members) and
discards the node link unconditionally.
- schemas/controller/links.py: extend LinkFilterType with the eight
kernel-datapath filter types and LinkFilterParameter.type with "str"
so the newly typed /available_filters response validates; Link.filters
stays a free-form dict — the vocabulary is capability-gated per link
and validated by the controller (409), not by a strict request schema.
- schemas/controller/topology.py: drop the type: ignore made redundant
by the dict filters field.
- tests: route-level filter validation now expects the controller's 409
(unknown types, out-of-range values); packet_loss correlation is a
valid kernel parameter (positive test added); OpenAPI assertions match
the free-form filters property.
Three fixes from live-calibrating the kernel impairment filters on an
isolated instance (Docker-to-Docker veth link, per-sequence evidence):
- update_filters skipped an unchanged filters dict as a no-op, so a
one-shot window_drop outage that had already passed could never be
re-armed: re-applying the same values produced no datapath command at
all. A PUT still carrying window_drop now reconciles, restarting the
schedule from the apply as documented. Measured: identical re-apply
moves the outage window from seq 50-70 to 70-91 (arm at +8s of the
new apply).
- gemodel parameter semantics were documented backwards in the
validation rules, available_filters, the MCP/copilot descriptions and
the feature docs. Measured against the kernel (per-direction counters,
offered = sent + dropped): p is the good-to-bad transition chance, r
the bad-to-good transition, 1-h the loss chance in the bad state (the
good state loses nothing) - mean one-way loss p/(p+r)*(1-h), e.g.
[10,30,100] -> 24.8%/25.7% measured vs 25% predicted, [5,45,100] ->
10.8% both ways vs 10%.
- kernel_datapath was silently stripped from every REST/MCP link payload
by the response model (LinkBase carried no such field), so clients
could not tell a kernel link from a relay one.
Also verified on the same setup: the 3-argument window_drop form works
exactly as specified ([3000,5000,100] -> a single seq 31-55 outage,
[20000,6000,100] -> seq 115-144), and both generations of the command
builder emit the parameters unpadded.
Adds an API test for the field and controller tests for the no-op skip
and the window_drop re-arm exemption.
