Eliminate unsafe code blocks and manual pointer arithmetic in Linux-specific receive paths by utilizing nix for socket options and control message parsing. This improves safety and maintainability while preserving the existing kernel RX timestamp and traffic class functionality.
Retain only the 256 most recent target outcomes in the final group snapshot while tracking total, successful, failed, and discarded outcome counts. Publish each authoritative TargetFinished event before inserting into the bounded history.
Update CLI/TUI exit decisions to use aggregate counts and add a dynamic churn regression proving every outcome remains observable while join retention stays bounded.
Track desired membership separately from active target state and make natural completion an explicit group policy. Empty authoritative updates now remove all targets without terminating the scheduler, while static CLI groups retain all-target completion.
Document that construction still requires an address-family-defining target and add regressions for empty replacement, later re-addition, idle control responsiveness, idle cancellation, and finite static completion.
Extend the managed group stream with authoritative per-target terminal outcomes and structured failure classifications. Final client events are published first, followed by exactly one TargetFinished outcome for success, peer close, no-test, opening/runtime failure, removal, or cancellation.
Scheduler-owned cleanup now stops the receiver and seals subscriptions on natural completion, eliminating the event-consumer/join circular wait while preserving queued drain. TargetEventSubscription now yields ManagedGroupEvent, so consumers must handle Client and TargetFinished variants.
Strict-timeout regressions cover mixed success/failure, all-open failure, runtime failure, no-test ordering, removal, cancellation, and disconnection before join.
Introduce a managed group runner to support concurrent probing of multiple targets over a single UDP socket with coordinated send pacing. Refactor the existing client logic into a reusable SessionRuntime to support both individual and grouped session management.
Replace basic validation with a detailed negotiation process that records specific parameter changes. This allows the client to provide better feedback when a server restricts requested session parameters like duration or DSCP.
Introduce a `--ttl` flag to allow users to set the IPv4 TTL or IPv6 hop limit, providing control over packet lifespan and helping diagnose network topology issues.
Apply the negotiated DSCP value to the UDP socket after a successful session open and clear it before closing to support network-level quality of service. This change adds platform-specific socket option handling for IPv4 TOS and IPv6 Traffic Class.
