dialer.rs

1//! The production [`Dialer`] — performs the real rustls **mTLS** dial to a reachable address and
2//! returns a [`PeerConnection`] whose remote `peer_id` has been verified.
3//!
4//! This is the single place transport detail lives: (happy-eyeballs) TCP connect → rustls client
5//! handshake presenting THIS node's certificate (mutual TLS) → the [`PeerIdPinningVerifier`]
6//! captures the peer's leaf cert, derives `peer_id = SHA-256(SPKI DER)`, and rejects the handshake
7//! unless it matches the [`PeerTarget::peer_id`] the caller asked for. On success the caller gets an
8//! authenticated, encrypted [`tokio_rustls::client::TlsStream`].
9//!
10//! ## IPv6-first, IPv4-fallback — delegated to `dig-ip` (CLAUDE.md §5.2)
11//!
12//! The family-selection + happy-eyeballs racing that used to live here is now the `dig-ip` crate's
13//! single ecosystem responsibility. [`MtlsDialer::dial`] aggregates a [`MethodOutcome`]'s candidate
14//! addresses into a [`dig_ip::PeerCandidates`] and calls [`dig_ip::connect`], handing it the local
15//! host's [`dig_ip::LocalStack`] and a closure that performs one candidate's raw TCP connect.
16//! `dig-ip` then dials over the **local∩peer family intersection** (never a family the local host or
17//! the peer lacks — its structural guarantee), IPv6-first with graceful IPv4 fallback. Once a TCP
18//! connection wins, the single mTLS handshake runs over it — the identity/cert behaviour below is
19//! unchanged; only the family selection + racing moved out. See `dig-ip`'s `SPEC.md`.
