localAddrs runs inside every SendUpdate, which fires on lighthouse.interval
and again on every network change via RebindUDPServer. Logging the failure
there meant a persistent failure warned every interval for the life of the
process, once per failing interface.
collectLocalAddrs now returns its failures instead of logging them, which
keeps it stateless and lets the tests assert on errors rather than log
output. The lighthouse holds the previous error and warns only when it
changes, demoting repeats to Debug, matching how handshake_manager handles
repeated send failures.
On Android 11+ the app sandbox denies bind() on netlink_route_socket, so
the stdlib's net.Interfaces fails with EACCES. localAddrs discarded that
error and returned an empty slice, so the node advertised no underlay
addresses and peers could only ever reach it at the address a lighthouse
observed. A device on the same LAN as a peer was unreachable at its LAN
address.
Split interface enumeration behind a build-tagged seam and use
github.com/wlynxg/anet on Android, which reads RTM_GETADDR from an
unbound socket. Interface addresses have to come from anet as well, since
net.Interface.Addrs goes back through the same denied path. Every other
platform keeps the net package implementation.
Stop discarding the enumeration errors, which are exceptional now that
the sandbox case is handled.
anet needs -ldflags=-checklinkname=0 on Go 1.23+. Nebula ships no Android
binaries, so build-test-mobile is unaffected, but consumers linking
Android artifacts will need the flag.
