📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds a virtual-clock API and migrates time-dependent tests to it. It renames the fuzz Cargo profile to checked, expands instrumentation configuration, updates build and CI recipes, improves statistics handling, and revises property-test helpers.

Changes

Virtual clock and time-based tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Clock routing and virtual-time runtime clock/Cargo.toml, clock/build.rs, clock/src/lib.rs, clock/src/virtual_time.rs	The clock crate adds routed clock reads, paused virtual-time execution, thread inheritance, advancement, and elapsed-time reporting.
Time-dependent test migration nat/src/masquerade/*, nat/src/portfw/*, net/src/flows/flow_info_fuzz.rs, dataplane/src/packet_processor/fuzz.rs	NAT, flow, and dataplane tests use shared virtual-clock execution and task draining.
Clock diagnostics and tracing timestamps .semgrep/rules/no-clock-read-in-drop.yaml, tracectl/src/*	Tracing timestamps use routed elapsed time when available. A Semgrep rule reports clock reads inside Drop::drop implementations.

Profiles and build instrumentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Profile and instrumentation composition Cargo.toml, default.nix, nix/profiles.nix, nix/overlays/dataplane.nix	The fuzz profile is renamed to checked. Nix profile inputs accept instrumentation lists and define fuzz instrumentation flags.
Build, fuzz, and CI recipes justfile, ci.just, .github/workflows/dev.yml, README.md, development/code/running-tests.md, testing.md	Recipes and CI use the checked profile. Fuzz commands validate sanitizer metadata and configure available libFuzzer linking. Documentation updates the profile and instrumentation instructions.

Statistics state and reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Snapshot and VPC handover state stats/src/vpc_stats.rs, mgmt/src/processor/proc.rs	VPC statistics expose combined snapshots and handover operations. Management status retrieval uses one snapshot operation.
Metric retention and publication stats/src/dpstats.rs, stats/src/lib.rs, stats/src/scrape.rs	Metric processing preserves unsent batches, handles VPC changes, removes stale series, publishes carried zero rates, and adds an in-memory test recorder.
Rate filters and complete sample windows stats/src/rate.rs, stats/Cargo.toml	Rate filters use chronological five-sample windows, reject zero-duration derivatives, clamp smoothing, and populate missing observations with zero samples.

Property tests and supporting fixes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Property-test helper macros acl/tests/property_predicate.rs, config/src/external/overlay/completeness.rs, concurrency/tests/*, net/src/headers/*, flow-entry/src/flow_table/concurrent_fuzz.rs	Property-test helpers use macros or per-scenario setup while retaining their test-specific checks.
Test dependency and feature wiring hardware/Cargo.toml, lpm/Cargo.toml, routing/Cargo.toml	Bolero development dependencies enable std. The routing shuttle feature enables left-right/shuttle.
Independent behavior and documentation fixes dataplane/src/drivers/kernel/worker.rs, interface-manager/src/interface/mod.rs, n-vm/src/container.rs, routing/src/fib/fibtype.rs, config/src/external/overlay/vpcpeering.rs, nat/src/*/mod.rs	The changes adjust empty-batch processing, interface assertions, mount ordering, documentation, and private test-module wiring.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ddf41

This change mostly affects test and fuzz infrastructure. Unresolved issues can stop the fuzz recipe before it runs and can make time-dependent tests panic or silently use real time when tests run in parallel. Several documentation statements also send developers to the wrong settings or locations. Resolve the fuzz recipe and virtual-clock issues before merging, unless the owners accept them.

Store Paused in thread-local storage.

Paused::new enters virtual time through thread-local state. This process-global LazyLock enters only the initializing thread and never drops during the test process.

If another test thread calls paused, clock::now() sees an active virtual clock without local membership and panics. Parallel tests can therefore fail according to test order. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Proposed fix

-    // nosemgrep: rust-no-direct-std-sync-import
-    static CLOCK: std::sync::LazyLock<clock::virtual_time::Paused> =
-        std::sync::LazyLock::new(clock::virtual_time::Paused::new); // nosemgrep: rust-no-direct-std-sync-import
-    CLOCK.block_on(async { body() });
+    thread_local! {
+        static CLOCK: clock::virtual_time::Paused = clock::virtual_time::Paused::new();
+    }
+    CLOCK.with(|clock| clock.block_on(async { body() }));

Document the separate cargo-bolero crash directory.

The recipe passes only --corpus-dir. Cargo-bolero uses a separate crash directory, so FUZZ_CORPUS_ROOT does not place crashing inputs under .fuzz-corpus/<target>.

Suggested documentation fix

-- The corpus and any crashing inputs are written to `.fuzz-corpus/<target>` (override with
-  `FUZZ_CORPUS_ROOT`). Both it and the per-worker `fuzz-<n>.log` files are gitignored.
+- The corpus is written to `.fuzz-corpus/<target>` (override with `FUZZ_CORPUS_ROOT`).
+  Cargo-bolero writes crashing inputs to its separate crash directory. The per-worker
