+# Enables IPv6 on the docker bridge and gives each container both an
+# IPv4 and an IPv6 address (ULA range fd00:dead:beef::/64 — no global
+# v6 routing required, just docker's userland v6 stack). The
+# dmsg-server config sets public_address_v6 (the Phase 2a #2716
+# advertised-endpoint field), so this stack exercises, end-to-end:
+#
+#   1. the server building a disc.Entry that carries AddressV6
+#      alongside Address, and the discovery registry storing + serving
+#      it (the dual-stack advertisement round-trip);
+#   2. that advertised v6 endpoint being reachable, over the docker v6

+#   3. the dmsg mesh continuing to work with v6 enabled (a v4-mesh
+#      regression guard — enabling dual-stack must not break the
+#      existing single-stack path).
+#
+# The deployment (dmsg-discovery + dmsg-server) runs via `skywire svc

+# intra-process wiring is what makes the strict dmsg-first server

+#
+# Assumes `docker compose -f docker/dmsg/docker-compose.e2e-v6.yml up -d
+# --wait` has already brought the stack up healthy on the dual-stack

+# Tears nothing down — the caller owns lifecycle so it can dump logs.
+#
+# What is proven (HARD — the lane fails if any of these fail):
+#   1. the dmsg-discovery HTTP registry is reachable over IPv6;
+#   2. the dmsg-server dmsg listener is reachable over IPv6;
+#   3. the dmsg-server health HTTP is reachable over IPv6; and
+#   4. THE CROWN JEWEL — a dmsg client completes a full Noise handshake
+#      straight to the server's IPv6 endpoint (dmsgprobe --via), i.e.
+#      the dmsg protocol itself works end-to-end over IPv6.
+#
+# What is reported (SOFT — informational, never fails the lane):
+#   5. the dual-stack advertisement round-trip (server disc.Entry
+#      carrying AddressV6). A dmsg-server's self-registration to the
+#      discovery is not reliable in a lightweight standalone deployment
+#      (the mesh normally bootstraps clients from the embedded server
+#      set, not the discovery's server registry) — so if the entry
+#      lands we assert address_v6, otherwise we note it and move on.
+#      The advertisement marshaling itself is covered by unit tests

+// control plane that manages a fleet of visors over dmsg.
+//
+// This closes the "Hypervisor web UI / API — no e2e at all" gap from the coverage
+// report. In the integration deployment visor-b runs the hypervisor (started with
+// `-q http`, http_addr :8000, enable_auth=false, enable_tls=false — see
+// docker/integration/visorB.json), and visor-a + visor-c are configured to be
+// MANAGED by it (their `hypervisors` list carries visor-b's PK). So the hypervisor
+// reaches its managed visors over dmsg and proxies operator actions to them via
+// their visor RPC.
+//
+// The test drives the real HTTP API from the test-runner container (no auth, no
+// TLS) and asserts control-plane behavior end to end:
+//   - liveness (/api/ping) and hypervisor self-info (/api/about, dmsg connected);
+//   - fleet discovery (/api/visors lists visor-a, visor-b AND visor-c — proving the
+//     managed visors connected to the hypervisor over dmsg);
+//   - per-visor RPC-over-dmsg reads (/api/visors/{pk}/health);
+//   - a full remote transport lifecycle driven THROUGH the hypervisor: create an
+//     stcpr transport visor-a→visor-c via POST, see it in the GET listing, then
+//     DELETE it — proving the hypervisor actually commands a remote visor's RPC
+//     over dmsg, which is the whole point of the control plane.

+// Package rpcgrpc — pkg/visor/rpcgrpc/grpc_test.go: end-to-end coverage
+// of the PingService client + server pair. Each test stands up a real
+// gRPC server on a loopback listener backed by a configurable fakeVisor,
+// connects a PingClient to it, and drives one RPC. This exercises the
+// hand-written client/server handlers AND the generated proto
+// marshaling on both sides of the wire — the bulk of the package.
+//
+// The fakeVisor implements the full VisorAPI with working defaults so a
+// test only overrides the behavior it cares about. Streaming RPCs that
+// loop until the client disconnects are driven from a goroutine and torn
+// down by canceling the call context.

+// Windows vpn-server support. Linux uses iptables + sysctl and macOS uses pf; on
+// Windows the equivalents are:
+//
+//   - NAT/masquerade -> the WinNAT service via `New-NetNat` (PowerShell). Unlike
+//     iptables/pf (which masquerade per egress interface), WinNAT NATs per
+//     INTERNAL prefix, so we register the VPN's private TUN ranges as internal
+//     prefixes and let WinNAT forward+translate them out whichever interface has
+//     the route. The `ifcName` argument (an egress interface) is therefore
+//     unused here.
+//   - IP forwarding -> IPEnableRouter registry value (WinNAT also enables
+//     forwarding for its prefixes, so this is belt-and-braces).
+//   - FORWARD policy -> n/a (no such concept; no-ops).
+//
+// The NAT/forwarding calls are best-effort: a failure is logged but does NOT
+// stop the server (the primary goal — accepting client sessions and serving TUN
+// traffic — must not be blocked by a NAT-plumbing hiccup, and this is the same
+// spirit as the macOS pf fallback). Secure mode (per-client LAN isolation) is not
+// implemented, so BlockIPToLocalNetwork fails closed rather than silently open.

+# Sql driver mock for Golang
+
+**sqlmock** is a mock library implementing [sql/driver](https://godoc.org/database/sql/driver). Which has one and only
+purpose - to simulate any **sql** driver behavior in tests, without needing a real database connection. It helps to
+maintain correct **TDD** workflow.
+
+- this library is now complete and stable. (you may not find new changes for this reason)
+- supports concurrency and multiple connections.
+- supports **go1.8** Context related feature mocking and Named sql parameters.
+- does not require any modifications to your source code.
+- the driver allows to mock any sql driver method behavior.
+- has strict by default expectation order matching.
+- has no third party dependencies.
+
+**NOTE:** in **v1.2.0** **sqlmock.Rows** has changed to struct from interface, if you were using any type references to that
+interface, you will need to switch it to a pointer struct type. Also, **sqlmock.Rows** were used to implement **driver.Rows**
+interface, which was not required or useful for mocking and was removed. Hope it will not cause issues.
+
+## Looking for maintainers
+
+I do not have much spare time for this library and willing to transfer the repository ownership
+to person or an organization motivated to maintain it. Open up a conversation if you are interested. See #230.
+
+## Install
+
+    go get github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock
+
+## Documentation and Examples
+
+Visit [godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock) for general examples and public api reference.
+See **.travis.yml** for supported **go** versions.
+Different use case, is to functionally test with a real database - [go-txdb](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-txdb)
+all database related actions are isolated within a single transaction so the database can remain in the same state.
+
+See implementation examples:
+
+- [blog API server](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/tree/master/examples/blog)
+- [the same orders example](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/tree/master/examples/orders)

+
+## Customize SQL query matching
+
+There were plenty of requests from users regarding SQL query string validation or different matching option.
+We have now implemented the `QueryMatcher` interface, which can be passed through an option when calling
+`sqlmock.New` or `sqlmock.NewWithDSN`.
+
+This now allows to include some library, which would allow for example to parse and validate `mysql` SQL AST.
+And create a custom QueryMatcher in order to validate SQL in sophisticated ways.
+
+By default, **sqlmock** is preserving backward compatibility and default query matcher is `sqlmock.QueryMatcherRegexp`
+which uses expected SQL string as a regular expression to match incoming query string. There is an equality matcher:
+`QueryMatcherEqual` which will do a full case sensitive match.
+
+In order to customize the QueryMatcher, use the following:
+
+``` go
+	db, mock, err := sqlmock.New(sqlmock.QueryMatcherOption(sqlmock.QueryMatcherEqual))
+```
+
+The query matcher can be fully customized based on user needs. **sqlmock** will not
+provide a standard sql parsing matchers, since various drivers may not follow the same SQL standard.
+
+## Matching arguments like time.Time
+
+There may be arguments which are of `struct` type and cannot be compared easily by value like `time.Time`. In this case
+**sqlmock** provides an [Argument](https://godoc.org/github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock#Argument) interface which
+can be used in more sophisticated matching. Here is a simple example of time argument matching:
+
+``` go
+type AnyTime struct{}
+
+// Match satisfies sqlmock.Argument interface
+func (a AnyTime) Match(v driver.Value) bool {
+	_, ok := v.(time.Time)
+	return ok
+}
+
+func TestAnyTimeArgument(t *testing.T) {
+	t.Parallel()
+	db, mock, err := sqlmock.New()
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("an error '%s' was not expected when opening a stub database connection", err)
+	}
+	defer db.Close()
+
+	mock.ExpectExec("INSERT INTO users").
+		WithArgs("john", AnyTime{}).
+		WillReturnResult(sqlmock.NewResult(1, 1))
+
+	_, err = db.Exec("INSERT INTO users(name, created_at) VALUES (?, ?)", "john", time.Now())
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("error '%s' was not expected, while inserting a row", err)
+	}
+
+	if err := mock.ExpectationsWereMet(); err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("there were unfulfilled expectations: %s", err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+It only asserts that argument is of `time.Time` type.

+
+## Change Log
+
+- **2019-04-06** - added functionality to mock a sql MetaData request
+- **2019-02-13** - added `go.mod` removed the references and suggestions using `gopkg.in`.
+- **2018-12-11** - added expectation of Rows to be closed, while mocking expected query.
+- **2018-12-11** - introduced an option to provide **QueryMatcher** in order to customize SQL query matching.
+- **2017-09-01** - it is now possible to expect that prepared statement will be closed,
+  using **ExpectedPrepare.WillBeClosed**.
+- **2017-02-09** - implemented support for **go1.8** features. **Rows** interface was changed to struct
+  but contains all methods as before and should maintain backwards compatibility. **ExpectedQuery.WillReturnRows** may now
+  accept multiple row sets.
+- **2016-11-02** - `db.Prepare()` was not validating expected prepare SQL
+  query. It should still be validated even if Exec or Query is not
+  executed on that prepared statement.
+- **2016-02-23** - added **sqlmock.AnyArg()** function to provide any kind
+  of argument matcher.
+- **2016-02-23** - convert expected arguments to driver.Value as natural
+  driver does, the change may affect time.Time comparison and will be
+  stricter. See [issue](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/issues/31).
+- **2015-08-27** - **v1** api change, concurrency support, all known issues fixed.
+- **2014-08-16** instead of **panic** during reflect type mismatch when comparing query arguments - now return error
+- **2014-08-14** added **sqlmock.NewErrorResult** which gives an option to return driver.Result with errors for
+interface methods, see [issue](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/issues/5)
+- **2014-05-29** allow to match arguments in more sophisticated ways, by providing an **sqlmock.Argument** interface
+- **2014-04-21** introduce **sqlmock.New()** to open a mock database connection for tests. This method
+calls sql.DB.Ping to ensure that connection is open, see [issue](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/issues/4).
+This way on Close it will surely assert if all expectations are met, even if database was not triggered at all.
+The old way is still available, but it is advisable to call db.Ping manually before asserting with db.Close.
+- **2014-02-14** RowsFromCSVString is now a part of Rows interface named as FromCSVString.
+It has changed to allow more ways to construct rows and to easily extend this API in future.
+See [issue 1](https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock/issues/1)
+**RowsFromCSVString** is deprecated and will be removed in future
+
