The endpoint is one type under both servers, so the info API's copies of
the rebind, failed-rebind and cancellation tests ran the control socket's
code a second time, and in-place access changes were pinned twice more.
- info API: the three endpoint tests, the mode test and the wire test's mode step go
- the control socket's group hand-over test stands for both servers
- registry: one Resolve test with both the typed and the worded assertions, in registry_test

Build slackhq/nebula#1821 ("who is this vpn address?" over a local
HTTP+JSON socket) on the command registry, so the lookup is one command
on every surface and the socket is one more local API.
identity
- `identity [-address <vpn addr>[:port]]`: no address reports this node;
with one, this node or the peer behind an established tunnel
- Certificate fields only: name, vpn addresses, networks, unsafe
networks, groups, fingerprint, issuer, validity, cert version; a peer's
fingerprint is the one nebula computed when it verified the cert
- Port accepted and stripped, 4in6 unmapped, so a RemoteAddr passes
straight through
- No tunnel is a commands.NotFound; an empty -address is refused
- Lighthouse TXT lookup shares the owner and peer lookups, keeps answering
with the initiating certificate, and no longer panics without a default cert
- Served on ssh and nebula ctl too
Info API
- Off until `local_api.info.enabled` with `socket` and optional quoted
octal `socket_mode` (default "0600"); nothing derived
- Serves commands declaring Command.Identity plus help; others 403 naming
their surfaces. TestInfoAPISurface pins the set to identity
- GET /v1 is the schema; GET /v1/<cmd>?<flag>=<value> runs one; body is
the -json rendering via commands.Render; commands.PresentationFormat
reads json/pretty from the query the way a line is read
- 400 commands.ParamError, 403 commands.WithheldError (what Resolve now
returns for a withheld name, so help and dispatch type-check it too),
404 NotFound or unknown, 500 Run error, refusal with no reason, or
recovered panic with no detail; no redirects; every miss is JSON
- listen takes a mode: bind under umask 0077 then chmod; "0660" plus a
searchable dir opens it to a group
- The chmod, at bind and on a mode-only reload, goes through chmodSocket,
which never follows a link: a user who can write the socket's directory
could otherwise swap the node for a link and have a root daemon put
0660 or 0666 on any file. Only a socket we own is chmoded. On linux the
node is held open O_PATH|O_NOFOLLOW, checked by fstat, and chmoded
through /proc/self/fd, so the check and the chmod land on one inode;
fchmodat2 is the fallback without /proc. On darwin and the BSDs it is
an Lstat check and fchmodat(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW). clearStale Lstats
too, so a dangling link is refused rather than followed by bind on
darwin
- One endpoint type owns bind under mutex, bind-before-release move,
context watch and stop/unlink; each server supplies what it serves
- Reloadable through the same reconcile shape as the control socket:
mode applied in place, unparsable section keeps what runs, control
socket path refused by name
- Wire returns Endpoints{Control, Info} with one Stop
- Windows unsupported for now (a pipe has no mode); warned once
Tests: identity lookups and shapes; API filter, status codes, panic
recovery, socket mode, rebind, cancellation; config parsing incl. bare
0660; Wire transitions; e2e of two nebulas with the info API resolving
the peer by address and port, through shared test.HTTPDo/HTTPGet helpers.
Goldens gain identity.
