Issue 1965, subtask S1 (the quick fix, playbook 08): a hosting provider's MAC report could not be traced because node-uplink.links named no MAC, bridge or parent for any link.

Builds design 48 §10 and design 08's code:, with the lead's answers L1-L6 (issue 1965 note 11). Both holders' copies of cmd/uplink-tools (systemd-networkd, networkmanager) gain mac, master and parent from the ip -j address show call they already make; a parent in another network namespace is answered as {index, namespace}. module.json and seat.json are untouched.

Acceptance 1965/AC1-AC7 (issue 1965 note 12); AC7 is proven live on novox after the delivery.

Quick fix (this): three fields, one repository. Thorough fix: a link-changed event, a stream with retention and links taking since; waits research 080.

Tests: TestTheLinksCarryTheirDefaultRouteAndTheirNames extended in both copies (fails without the change); the copies test holds. Unit tests 10 of 500 per module, 0 of 50 integration.

node-uplink links answers each link's mac, master and parent (S1a links-mac, issue 1965)

mesh/delivery merged: source.main moved to novox/mesh-catalog@0ec8347786f4

Details

mesh/check checking 700b37890bfd on 0ec8347786f4

700b37890b

Both holders' uplink-tools copies read address, master, link and
link_index/link_netnsid from the existing ip -j address show call. Fields
are left out where a link has none (L3); a parent in another namespace is
{index, namespace} (L2); the form lives in uplink.go only (L4); only the
tool description changes, not seat.json (L5); bridge fdb MACs are not
answered (L6); names mac, master, parent (L1).

Builds: design 48 10, design 08 code:, issue 1965 note 11 L1-L6
