…ssion audio drops) net-sim's per-link audio queue dropped blocks mid-transmission on any burst longer than its ~3 s buffer, which gapped the receiver's audio, collapsed its carrier sense, and made stations transmit over each other — silently degrading interop scenarios with back-to-back long frames (NET/ROM NODES bursts, chat help dumps, etc.). Fixed in packet-net/net-sim#15 with a non-dropping continuous-carrier FIFO; this bumps the interop stack's pinned digest to pick it up. Validated on the lab against a real LinBPQ link: overflow 2876 -> 0, collisions 36-63% -> 0%, long-frame delivery 26% -> ~90%.

What
Bumps the interop stack's pinned
net-simimage digest (docker/compose.interop.yml) to the continuous-carrier build.Why
net-sim's per-link audio queue was a fixed ~3 s buffer that dropped the oldest block on overflow. A TNC bursts a whole keyup's audio with no real-time pacing, so any transmission longer than ~3 s dropped blocks mid-transmission → gapped the receiver's audio → collapsed its carrier sense → stations keyed over each other → collisions, loss, and a go-back-N storm. This silently degraded any interop scenario with back-to-back long frames.
packethacking/net-sim#15replaces the drop-on-overflow channel with a non-dropping FIFO — the channel is modelled as a continuous carrier. Validated on the lab against a real LinBPQ ↔ packet-node link: overflow 2,876 → 0, collisions 36–63% → 0%, long-frame I-frame delivery 26% → ~90%, full help text delivered.[skip-plan]— interop test-infra dependency pin bump; no packet.net behavioural change.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
