Moves the client userspace probe sent_at measurement to immediately
after a successful UDP send, improving raw RTT and the userspace
upstream-OWD fallback by excluding the socket send-call interval and
the small amount of local work preceding it.
All fallible probe-commit preflight (timeout deadline checked_add,
capacity/collision checks) still runs before the send, from a private
pre-send anchor (SessionMachine::finalize_probe_commit). The public
sent_at is now supplied afterward to an infallible
SessionMachine::commit_probe_sent, so DurationOverflow still guarantees
nothing was transmitted and a WouldBlock try_send still commits
nothing.
The operational probe timeout deadline stays anchored to the pre-send
timestamp on purpose, not to the new post-send sent_at, preserving
existing timeout/loss timing. Linux kernel TX_SOFTWARE plausibility
keeps its own pre-send wall-clock lower bound
(PendingProbe::tx_not_before_wall) instead of the post-send sent_at,
since a legitimate TX_SOFTWARE timestamp can be generated while the
send syscall is still in flight and would otherwise be wrongly
rejected.
Also flags (without touching production code) that irtt-stats'
ReplySample::from_reply_parts feeds the public sent_at directly into
IpdvSample.client_send_mono/client_send_wall_ns, so the upstream/send
IPDV component naturally shifts along with the sent_at semantics
change; per scope this is reported rather than compensated for.
Advance delayed managed schedules to the latest due cadence slot and then directly to the first future deadline. Apply the same absolute-cadence behavior to the single runner and group burst/staggered pacing, while leaving the manual Client send API caller-paced.
Bound receive waits by the next send deadline so 10 ms intervals are not hidden behind the managed socket timeout. Add deterministic delayed-slot, finite-end, burst, staggered, and receive-bound regressions.
Split the monolithic `probes_replies.rs` file into logical submodules and expose internal packet processing methods to improve test maintainability and coverage of boundary conditions.
