What

Adds byte counts to the Unbounded snapshot the Lantern app polls every second, so Action Mode can show volunteers how much data they relay. This change is additive JSON only, and older app versions ignore the new fields.

Field	Meaning
bytesDown / bytesUp	Cumulative bytes relayed since epoch. They follow the same epoch rules as arrivals and survive stop/start.
peerBytes	[{ip, down, up}] per IP since epoch, sorted by IP. Includes IPs connected now plus IPs whose last slot closed within 60s, so a 1s poller sees their final bytes. If a pruned IP returns it restarts at 0, so readers treat a decrease as a reset.

One behavior note for consumers (getlantern/lantern#9166): bytes broflake delivers during its asynchronous teardown are still counted, so bytesDown/bytesUp and an ended IP's peerBytes entry can grow slightly for a moment after running turns false. Field names and semantics are otherwise unchanged.

How

Hot path

• broflake's OnDownstreamChunkFunc / OnUpstreamChunkFunc (Add advanced volunteer stats panel to the widget unbounded#462) feed chunkCounter.
• Each chunk costs a read-lock on its run's slot table and one atomic add on that slot's counter, looked up through a sync.Map. The chunk path never takes m.mu.

Assigning bytes to IPs

• Slot counters are reset and added to the totals and to the slot owner's tally under m.mu. This happens on every accept/close for that slot, before its owner changes, and for all slots on every snapshot and connection change.
• A vacant slot's bytes go to its last occupant until the next accept. These are in-flight chunks from the consumer that just left.
• Slot owners are held as tally pointers, not IPs. Bytes from a lifetime that was already pruned therefore count only toward the totals and never reach a returning IP's fresh entry.
• Pending bytes are folded before any tally is pruned or acquired.
• An IP can hold several slots at once. Its 60s window starts only when its last slot closes.

Stop and restart

• Each start() gets a fresh slot table.
• stopCtx folds what's left, ends every peer (which starts their 60s windows), and retires the run's table along with its final slot owners. broflake's ui.Stop returns before its workers finish, so bytes can still arrive. A retired table keeps absorbing them, credited to the run's own consumers and never to the next run, for 60s. After that it is closed and given a final fold. Closing waits for adds already in progress.
• Retired runs also expire on connection changes and stops, so they don't pile up when nobody is polling.

Dependency

broflake is pinned to v0.0.0-20261018030031-c6268bfc1b56, the getlantern/unbounded#462 merge commit c6268bf on unbounded main. That version delivers a slot's pending upstream batch before that slot's connection change, and flushes pending upstream on cancellation. go mod tidy was run, and go.mod and go.sum are committed together.

Testing

• go test -race -count=1 ./unbounded/... ./ipc/... passes, both untagged and with -tags standalone. go test -tags with_clash_api ./unbounded/... (CI's tag) passes.
• go build -tags standalone ./... passes.
• golangci-lint run --new-from-rev=origin/main ./unbounded/... reports 0 issues. The repo has no golangci config and CI doesn't run it.
• CI's slog-overwrite grep is clean.
• New tests cover:
  • assigning bytes to IPs, including slots with no IP
  • slot reuse, with a vacant slot's bytes going to its last occupant
  • 60s retention and pruning, using an injected clock
  • bytes after stop counted to the stopped run's owners, and dropped once the run expires
  • a widget whose Stop flushes upstream bytes
  • a retired run's bytes not leaking into the next run
  • pending and late bytes not crossing into a returning IP's fresh lifetime
  • retired runs expiring without polling
  • slotTable.close waiting for in-flight adds
  • JSON shape and decoding of old payloads
  • concurrent chunks counted exactly once
• Two existing failures also happen on clean main:
  • Untagged go build ./... fails on darwin at cmd/lantern/lantern.go:170 (ipc.NewClient argument count).
  • go vet ./unbounded/ flags two "copies lock value" findings in the existing unbounded_test.go:72,96.
• Not tested: real broflake traffic end to end. The tests drive the callbacks directly.

The Flutter side that reads these fields is getlantern/lantern#9166.

Risk

• The riskiest file is unbounded/snapshot.go, because it runs on broflake's data path. A deadlock or slow path there would throttle relayed traffic for every volunteer. The callback takes only a RWMutex read lock and does an atomic add. The only writer is close, which runs once per run, 60s after stop.
• Wrong numbers would only affect the volunteer stats display. Nothing in proxying depends on them.
• Memory: each stop keeps one small slot table and owner map for 60s.

How to revert

Revert the merge commit. The snapshot fields disappear, and older consumers already handle payloads without them. The broflake bump is reverted together with the code; nothing else depends on it.

• Exit: approve
• Step back: STEP BACK r3: same-area — every finding was the timing of broflake's byte delivery relative to stop/connection changes; replaced "close the table at stop" with time-bounded retirement of the run's table and owners, which removes the teardown-timing class instead of patching each window
• Fixed:
  • unbounded/snapshot.go addSlotBytes: a peer's final 250ms upstream batch arrived after its close and was credited to nobody. A vacant slot now credits its last occupant (r1).
  • unbounded/snapshot.go releaseAllPeers: a chunk callback already past the ctx check could add to the detached table after the final fold. slotTable.close now waits for in-flight adds (r1).
  • unbounded/unbounded.go stop: upstream bytes flushed during teardown were rejected by the cancelled-ctx guard. The guard was removed, and late bytes now land in the retired run (r2, r3).
  • unbounded/unbounded.go:614 finishRun: ui.Stop returns before broflake's async teardown ends, so closing the table after it still dropped bytes. Replaced by 60s retired runs (r3).
  • unbounded/snapshot.go:235 pending bytes crossing a pruned IP lifetime: everything is now folded before prune/acquire (r4).
  • unbounded/snapshot.go:217 retired runs only expired on snapshot polling. They now also expire on connection change and stop (r4).
  • unbounded/snapshot.go:320 a late chunk after the prune sweep reached a returning IP's fresh tally. Owners are now tally pointers (r5).
  • Two r2 findings first dismissed as broflake-side are now fixed by bumping broflake to unbounded#462 ea0cd1e. They were unbounded/snapshot.go:169 (an upstream batch credited to the slot's next consumer) and unbounded/unbounded.go:455 (broflake dropping pending upstream on stop). That version flushes pending upstream before the connection change and on cancellation.
• Dismissed: none
• Pre-existing (not introduced here, worth filing): none found by the gate. The untagged darwin build failure and go vet lock-copy findings above predate this branch.
• Proposed AGENTS.md additions: "In unbounded/, broflake delivers byte callbacks asynchronously (batched upstream, teardown after ui.Stop returns): check that any byte accounting tolerates callbacks arriving after a connection change or stop, and never credits them across a run or a pruned peer lifetime."

📝 Walkthrough

The unbounded manager now counts downstream and upstream bytes and reports aggregate and per-IP totals in snapshots. Peer totals remain available for 60 seconds after a peer’s last slot ends. Slot ownership and retired runs preserve attribution for delayed bytes.

Changes: Unbounded byte accounting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Byte counters and worker callbacks go.mod, unbounded/snapshot.go, unbounded/unbounded.go, unbounded/snapshot_test.go	The broflake dependency version changes. The manager adds slot-based counters, and worker callbacks record downstream and upstream chunks. Tests cover aggregate and per-peer counting, concurrent increments, and slot-table closure.
Peer attribution and snapshot lifecycle unbounded/snapshot.go, unbounded/unbounded.go, unbounded/snapshot_test.go	Snapshots include aggregate totals and sorted per-IP totals. Connection changes, shutdown, and retired runs fold pending bytes into peer tallies. Inactive peer totals remain for 60 seconds. Tests cover slot reuse, delayed bytes, retention, shutdown, and JSON compatibility.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 18fd6

The dependency update preserves the byte-accounting behavior needed by the snapshot. No merge-blocking issue remains after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1bcbf

The change adds recent per-peer traffic history to an existing local status interface without changing its access controls. The main remaining uncertainties concern accounting accuracy during concurrent connection changes and resource usage under rapid peer churn.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly identified exposure is peer-activity metadata and accounting resource use in an enabled volunteer backend. Creating retained entries requires successful consumer connection transitions. The inspected flow does not grant those consumers IPC access, credentials, or additional service authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The existing IPC snapshot route remains behind the configured middleware chain. Desktop daemon startup enables authentication and supplies the service-owner identity; authorization permits administrators or that owner. These controls and the IPC adapters are unchanged in the full PR comparison. The richer history therefore expands disclosed content, not the established desktop caller set.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Ended-peer entries expire after 60 seconds when pruning runs, but there is no explicit cardinality cap. Connection changes scan retained entries, and snapshots also sort them while holding the manager mutex. Configured worker capacity and WebRTC establishment constrain creation rate, but do not themselves establish a maximum retained-entry count. Practical exhaustion under peer churn remains unproven.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Consider an explicit budget for ended-peer entries and snapshot size, preserving aggregate totals if history is evicted. Keep per-IP values documented as unverified telemetry rather than identity, billing, or abuse-enforcement evidence. These are hardening proposals, not verified vulnerabilities.

Owner confirmed the redesign from the Codex gate's round-3 step back: a stopped run's slot table and its final owners are kept for 60s, so bytes broflake delivers during async teardown are still counted. The only remaining item before merge is re-bumping broflake to unbounded#462's merge commit.
