The test files had grown their own copies of the same helpers: prefix()
twelve times, established() seven, an UPDATE builder six, a seventeen
field PeerConfig literal in fifteen places, a timeout constant in twenty
one. Each is in crates/integration-tests/src once now: peer_config() and
TestServer::with_peer for a configured peer, Announcement for building
UPDATEs, established(), the waits (wait_until, wait_for, wait_for_routes,
wait_for_sessions), get_json, and TIMEOUT. A new field on PeerConfig is
one line to add, not fifteen.
TestPeer::recv has a deadline, so a test that gets nothing fails instead
of hanging; is_closed, which read one byte and took a KEEPALIVE for an
open connection, is closed_within and closed_unanswered.
Net 788 lines fewer; every test checks what it did.

Removing a peer's routes, sweeping its stale ones and sweeping the
attribute sets were each written out as their own spawn_blocking, and
each dealt with a failed task differently: the periodic sweep dropped a
panic on the floor, and a restarting peer whose kept routes could not be
removed was logged as "removed 0 routes". off_thread does it once, and
every caller logs a failure.
Also:
- the hard-reset wrapping of a NOTIFICATION is one function in the FSM;
- the two ways to close every session are one, and the registry has one
leave() rather than leave() and shutdown();
- the dialer says why a session ended with SessionEnd::reason, and no
longer turns a result into a result;
- as_path_prepend is parsed in one place, and the limits in error texts
come from the constants rather than being written out;
- router_id and cluster_id are parsed by one function;
- the exporter builds its Egress in one place;
- the fields a session keeps only to hand to its handle are fewer:
route_refresh is a bool, not a copy of the families;
- counting the stale routes removed cannot underflow;
- docs that had gone stale: the proto still said there was no route
reflection, the advertiser's module doc said it announced only our own
routes, from_server listed two of its five sources, and so on.
Tests for what had none: which session ends count as restarts, the Hard
Reset wrapping, the graceful restart settings, the dialer's jitter,
withdrawals in MP_UNREACH_NLRI, and AS_TRANS on a two-octet session.

The work of the speaker-cleanup branch as one commit; the branch keeps
the step-by-step history.
Sessions
- The state machine is a pure function from events to actions, driven by
one task per connection. Idle, Connect and Active belong to a dialer
that keeps configured peers up with backoff.
- Capabilities are negotiated: address families, four-octet AS numbers
with AS_TRANS and AS4_PATH, route refresh, ADD-PATH per family and
direction.
- Collision detection per RFC 4271 section 6.8, by address and
identifier.
- Connections are taken only from configured peers, a few per address.
- A panic in a session is contained and answered with a Cease; a core
task that stops shuts the server down with a Cease to every peer.
- Writes that make no progress are given up (RFC 9687).
Codec
- Malformed UPDATEs are handled as RFC 7606 says: treat-as-withdraw,
attribute discard, or session reset, with the NOTIFICATION to send.
- Address families are open types; any can be named and ignored.
- Prefixes are fixed-size values, normalised, with path identifiers.
- Lengths are filled in after writing; one definition of each type code.
- Property tests and fuzz targets for every decoder.
Routing table
- Adj-RIBs-In and Loc-RIB in one sharded table that sessions write to
directly. Routes are sixteen bytes; attribute sets are interned in
wire form. Best-path selection per RFC 4271 section 9.1.2.2 with
deterministic MED.
- A journal per shard lets followers read changes at their own pace;
one that falls behind is resynchronised.
- On a RIPE RIS dump of 148 peers and 39.3M routes: loaded in 2.0 s on
12 cores, about 52 bytes a route.
Announcing
- Originated routes come from the configuration. Each session has its
own exporter with an Adj-RIB-Out, so a slow peer delays only itself.
- Routes to a peer in our own AS have an empty path and a LOCAL_PREF.
Operations
- HTTP status page, JSON API, event stream and Prometheus metrics.
- Benchmarks on synthetic and real tables.
