Upstream irtt 0.9.1 always emits both midpoint timestamp fields (wall,
then monotonic) in an ECHO reply for single-clock StampAt::Midpoint
negotiations, even though only one clock was negotiated, so its header is
one timestamp longer than the negotiated header.
The resulting datagram length is not simply negotiated_len + 8. Both
forms are max(negotiated_length, header), so the extra field lengthens
the datagram only while the larger header still exceeds the negotiated
length, and displaces payload beyond that; the difference is 8, then
7..1, then 0.
decode_echo_reply now accepts the compatibility length wherever it is
strictly longer than the negotiated length, parsing both wire fields and
exposing only the negotiated clock's value. Where the two lengths
coincide the forms are indistinguishable from the packet alone, so the
reply is accepted with normal negotiated parsing rather than a heuristic
- a monotonic-only midpoint negotiation therefore cannot always be
corrected, which is documented and tested. Every other length stays
strictly rejected.
Echo request decoding and encode_echo_reply are unchanged: the encoder
must keep emitting the sane negotiated layout.
Consolidate check and test jobs into a matrix strategy to verify compatibility across x86_64 and aarch64 architectures for both glibc and musl toolchains.
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.
handle_input() previously drained terminal events in an unbounded
while-poll loop, so a continuously-ready input stream could keep the
frontend inside handle_input() indefinitely, starving managed-event
processing, completion checks, peer-close stop policy, and rendering
in the outer run_tui() loop.
Bound each call to at most INPUT_EVENT_WORK_BUDGET (128) polled
terminal events, mirroring the MANAGED_EVENT_WORK_BUDGET pattern
already used for managed event draining. All polled events count
against the budget, including ignored/unknown/release events, so a
stream of non-actionable input can't bypass the bound. Remaining
events are left queued for the next outer-loop iteration rather than
dropped. Quit/Ctrl-C now also breaks out of the drain immediately
after being handled, since there is no benefit to consuming further
buffered input before the outer loop can request managed shutdown.
