Defect

A port the listen watcher published dynamically (NET-016) was invisible
to the shared-port election: own_holders was filled only from declared
publishes, so a declared ingress on a port another box's process was
already serving failed every exec, and never bound on hand-over.

Fix

The watcher records each settled dynamic port as held by the box's
session id at its published address (record_dynamic_hold) and
releases it at close (release_dynamic_hold), reusing the declared
holders' election: a declared publish of the port now collides and
yields, the close hands the port to the earliest-created declared
publisher, and the unpublish sweep clears the destroyed box's dynamic
holds too.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path target/Cargo.toml — pass
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked --manifest-path target/Cargo.toml -- -D warnings — pass, no warnings
  • cargo test --locked --manifest-path target/Cargo.toml -p minimald — 1002 passed, 11 failed; the 11 failures are identical on unmodified main (999 passed, 11 failed) and pass in isolation, so they are pre-existing suite-level log-capture flakiness, not caused by this change. All 3 new tests pass.

Note: the live VM/daemon behavior of a running box is not hostable in
this sandbox; the proof is unit-level, against the registry's election
semantics the watcher and unpublish drive.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Dynamically published listener ports are now tracked alongside declared ports. When a listener is withdrawn or its box is destroyed, the port can be handed over to another eligible publisher, helping keep published addresses available.
    • Ports already held by a box are not reassigned when that same box still declares them.

📝 Walkthrough

Listener publications now record dynamic port holds in the shared hostname registry. The registry releases or hands over those ports when a listener is withdrawn or its box is unpublished. Launch wiring passes the registry and session ID to the listener plan.

Changes: Dynamic port ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry hold and hand-over rules
crates/minimald/src/net/dns.rs
The registry records dynamic holds without displacing an existing holder. Releasing a hold or unpublishing a session hands the port to a remaining publisher when applicable. Tests cover declared holds, dynamic holds, and hand-overs.
Listener lifecycle tracking and launch wiring
crates/minimald/src/net/listeners.rs, crates/minimald/src/net/provider.rs, crates/minimald/src/box_runtime.rs, crates/minimald/src/box_actor.rs
ListenPlan accepts an optional registry and session ID. The watcher records holds after binding and releases them after withdrawal. Launchers pass the registry when available; test callers provide no registry.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7731d

A listener recovered through the audit-retry path may prevent another box from claiming its shared port correctly. Record the hold on re-admission; the remaining risk is narrow and recoverable.

crates/minimald/src/net/listeners.rs:1720-1749
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record the dynamic hold when the audit retry re-admits a standing forward.

There are two ways a listen-published port starts serving:

  • The normal publish path calls self.plan.record_dynamic_hold(port) at Line 2030.
  • The unrecorded re-admit branch does not.

The re-admit branch runs when the forward is still bound and the audit log finally accepts the Published record. It admits the port, lists it, and returns Appearance::Settled, but it never records the hold.

How this goes wrong:

  1. A publish binds the forward, but the audit write fails. unpublish_unaudited runs before any hold is recorded.
  2. The unexpose in that unwind also fails, so the forward stays bound with its unrecorded mark.
  3. A later poll writes the record and re-admits the forward through this branch.

From then on, the box serves published:port with no holder of record in own_holders. A declared publisher of the same port at the shared address sees no holder, so it does not yield. Its attach then tries to bind a forward over the one this box serves.

When this listener later closes, release_dynamic_hold finds no holder that names this box. Nothing breaks there, but the hold never covered the time the port was in service.

Record the hold in this branch the same way the normal publish path does.

Addressed CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding (listeners.rs re-admit branch): bae898e records the dynamic hold when an unaudited standing forward is re-admitted, with a_re_admitted_unaudited_forward_records_its_dynamic_hold pinning it (declared publish yields after re-admit; close hands the port over).

… hold

An unaudited forward whose unwind's unexpose failed still occupies the
box's published address:port, so it now records its dynamic hold; the
close that brings it down releases it. Adds watcher-level tests for the
fresh publish's record, the listener close's hand-over and the stop
path's hand-over, restates the own_holders invariant for dynamic holds,
and justifies the too_many_arguments lint with expect.

Approved: no findings at b382ec353825.

Nothing to do.

Clobber: none: git log on dns.rs/listeners.rs shows the two stacked fix commits, no recent fix reverted. Correctness checked. The three new record_dynamic_hold call sites (fresh publish at listeners.rs:2038, re-admit at 1736, unaudited-standing-forward at 2242) all sit immediately after forwards.insert for a forward actually bound on the switch, so the registry hold never claims a port the b…
