When flock.fritzlab.net/addresses provides a v6 or v4, the IP becomes
the pod's primary IP for that family — bound to eth0, default route off
it, on-link host route via setHostRoute, and a per-pod /128 or /32 in
BGP. IPAM no longer allocates a private IP alongside it. The pod ends up
with exactly the operator-supplied addresses on eth0 (plus any extras
beyond the first-of-family, which keep the pre-existing layered
behavior).
This is the fix the original addresses-annotation work missed: bug #1
allocated a private IP next to the public one (so VPN-routed clients
could land on the private path on Plex). Promoting addresses-supplied
IPs into the IPAM-style routing slot keeps the public IP as the only
primary IP visible from outside.
Three pieces:
- annotations.go: reject pods whose addresses/anycast IP family is
disabled (ipv6/ipv4 annotation or NodeConfig default). Both annotation
types rely on the family being enabled for return-path routing.
- handlers.go: peel first v6 + first v4 from Addresses into res.IP6/IP4;
suppress IPAM for those families; skip IPAM call entirely if both
families are addresses-supplied.
- anycast_linux.go: extend renderBird to advertise any IPAM IP that's
outside the node's BGP aggregate as a per-pod /32 or /128. This is
what makes 142.202.202.166 reachable when host004's pod CIDR is
172.25.214.0/24 — the addresses-promoted IP isn't covered by the
aggregate.
Tests: 7 new annotation tests covering the conflict cases (ipv4=false +
addresses-v4, NodeConfig default + addresses-v4, etc.) plus 5 unit tests
for the splitAddressesPrimary helper.
README updated with the addresses-replaces-IPAM behavior, the
addresses-vs-anycast comparison, the conflict rule, and a Plex-style
example.

Like anycast, addresses IPs are advertised via BGP (/128+/32) and get
host routes via the AnycastReconciler. The sole difference: they are
assigned to pod eth0 instead of lo, so workloads that inspect their
primary interface (e.g. Plex remote-access detection) see the public IP
directly.
- annotations.go: annAddresses const, Addresses []net.IP in ParsedAnnotations
- state.go: Addresses []string persisted in allocations.json
- anycast.go: resolveAnycastTargets processes Anycast+Addresses together
- netns_linux.go: configurePodSide assigns Addresses to eth0
- netns_stub.go: mirror Addresses field for non-Linux builds
- handlers.go: thread Addresses through ADD path

The `pod` field hashed pod.Name, which differs per replica because of
the ReplicaSet pod-template-hash + 5-char random suffix. With
namespace,pod,image, all replicas of the same Deployment got distinct
hextets even though they were the same workload.
Replace `pod` with `app` — a stable workload identifier derived from
the controller chain:
- Deployment → ReplicaSet → Pod: strip the pod-template-hash suffix
from the RS name (`traefik-789df685f` → `traefik`).
- StatefulSet/DaemonSet/Job → Pod: use controller name as-is.
- Bare pod: pod name.
Image now comes from pod.Spec.Containers[0].Image (the spec'd
reference). 64-hex-char values are treated as sha256 digests and
parsed as before; everything else (image:tag, short SHA) is FNV-1a-64'd
as a string. This makes `traefik:v3.5` deterministic across replicas
without needing the runtime-resolved digest.
Net effect: namespace,app,image yields identical hextets across all
replicas of the same Deployment except the trailing random N nibble.
embed.Values.Pod → App; AllocRequest.Pod kept for log context only,
new App and Image fields drive the embed call. handlers.go computes
both via deriveAppName + podImageRef helpers.
Tests: 7 new TestDeriveAppName_* cases (Deploy/STS/DS/bare/RS-without-
hash/non-controller-owner) + TestPodImageRef. Existing fuzz seeds
updated for the new keyword.

Add flock.fritzlab.net/ip-algo as a node-wide default via NodeConfig
metadata.annotations. Pod-level annotation still wins. Empty, missing,
or invalid input at either level falls through to the next; invalid
values warn-log via the agent's slog. Both unset → fully random IID
(unchanged baseline).
ParseAnnotations no longer touches ip-algo; ResolveIPAlgo handles the
full precedence chain, called from PodHandler.Add with the cached
NodeConfig's annotations and the agent logger.
Tests: 9 new TestResolveIPAlgo_* cases covering pod-wins, all
fall-through paths, both-absent, nil node map, whitespace, and
duplicate-as-invalid. Fuzz target rebuilt without ip-algo input space
(now exercised by ResolveIPAlgo unit tests).

BuiltinFamilyDefaults() now returns {WantV6: true, WantV4: true}. Pods
that want a single family explicitly opt out via the
flock.fritzlab.net/ipv4 (or ipv6) annotation, or the operator narrows
the default at the node level via NodeConfig.Spec.Defaults.
Annotation precedence is unchanged: pod annotation > NodeConfig defaults
> built-in baseline. Tests updated to reflect the new baseline; the
"opt out of v4" path now has explicit coverage.
Docs updated:
- NodeConfig.Spec.Defaults Go doc + CRD descriptions reflect the new
baseline and its overrides
- README opening framing softened from "IPv6-first" to "dual-stack,
IPv6-friendly"; example pods + spec.defaults table flipped to
treat dual-stack as the default and v6/v4-only as overrides
- README NetworkPolicy line in the comparison table flipped to
"yes (nftables)" since v1 enforcement shipped
- Limitations note about IPv4-only destinations rewritten — every
pod has v4 by default now, so the question is whether your IPv4
pool is routable beyond your network

NodeConfig.Spec.Defaults adds per-node IPv6/IPv4 family defaults that pod
annotations can override; built-in baseline (v6=true, v4=false) still
applies when the field is omitted.
bird.Render now validates every operator-supplied value (peer addresses,
CIDRs, anycast IPs, source addresses) before templating — fuzz found a
peer address containing `}` produced unbalanced braces in bird.conf.
Failing input preserved as a regression seed.
Fuzz targets added for ParseAnnotations, ParseCNIArgs, HostIfaceName,
canonical, IPAM allocate sequences, embed.Embed, and bird.Render.
Hardened canonical/ipToU32 against nil and non-IPv4 inputs.
README rewritten for outside readers — quickstart, NodeConfig + annotation
reference with worked examples, anycast use cases, comparison vs Calico
and Cilium, requirements, limitations.
