feat(linux): TCP health on the Tools tab works on Linux - #295
TCP health on the Tools tab works on Linux (experimental), without sudo. The kernel keeps struct tcp_info for every TCP socket from the moment it opens and gives it to any user
through sock_diag, so nothing is turned on and no rights are needed.
How
sockdiag.lookup(): one socket asked for by the id the kernel's list gave, its cookie in
it, with tcp_info requested (NLM_F_ACK, so the answer has an end). tcp_info() reads a
field only when it lies inside the kernel's struct: fields are only ever added at its end,
and an older kernel sends a shorter one. lists() asks for a list of no state - whether
this kernel lists TCP sockets at all.
tcpestats._Linux: a connection is found once in the kernel's list by its four numbers
(an IPv4 address mapped into IPv6 unwrapped, two matches refused), then read by the handle
the reading carries. No such socket, TIME_WAIT, CLOSED, a socket its program has closed
(answered without tcp_info) and a LISTEN answer all read as ended. Round trips in whole
milliseconds rounded down, as Windows and Ping say them.
Windows' path is unchanged: _System.watch/read call the same _watch/_read, and tests/test_tcpestats.py is not edited.
Sample gains resent_segments, absent and widths, appended with Windows' defaults.
The details, the report and the chart leave out what a stack does not keep (Linux: no
newest or highest round trip, no fast resends or duplicate ACKs, no count of measurements;
Windows: no resent segments), and counter differences wrap at each counter's own width
(Linux's timeout count is 16 bits).
A Connections row is looked up in the system's own table (tcpestats.socket_rows): on
Linux the kernel's list, which writes a dual-stack socket's address as the row does.
The window on Linux: no rights note, its own help sheet, two column tips, the Stop tip and
a one-line chart legend, and a "Resent segments" row.
Measured first
Ubuntu 26.04.1 (kernel 7.0.0-38) and WSL (6.18):
tcp_info is 280 bytes. The lookup's copy equals getsockopt(TCP_INFO) field by field, and
14 of 14 fields equal what ss -tin printed.
An ordinary user reads root's sockets.
Asked by its numbers alone, a connection that has gone is answered by the listener on its
port, with the listener's numbers. With the cookie the answer is ENOENT.
A round trip that jumped from 0.4 to 200 ms on an open connection was followed to ~200 ms
in about 6 s, with TCP timestamps on and off.
Through 5% loss, the resent bytes equal the resent segments times the MSS, and also the
bytes sent minus the bytes acknowledged.
The tests replay that kernel's answers byte for byte: they were recorded on loopback, in a
network namespace of its own.
Tests
tests/test_tcpestats_linux.py (new). tests/test_sockdiag.py: the lookup, a
connection's life, the listener answering without the cookie, shorter structs. tests/test_nettools_tcphealth.py: the Linux rows, widths and handle.
CI's Linux capture smoke has a TCP health phase:
the tool's numbers against ss -tin of the same moment;
the smoothed round trip climbing through --latency 50;
ended once closed.
On the test VM it passed, and four product breaks (the timer in microseconds, sent and
received swapped, a closed connection read as open, round trips in seconds) each made it
fail by name.
Mutation registry: 35 new entries and 1 moved anchor, each run once here: 36 of 36
caught.
The edited test files also ran on Linux (WSL), the live kernel tests included.
Not run locally: the full suite and mutate.py --changed (CI runs both).
TCP health monitoring is now available on supported Linux systems without requiring sudo. View connection state, sent and received data, retransmitted segments, and the minimum round-trip time over the last five minutes; timeout counts are available on Linux 6.7 and later.
Use the Connections row menu to monitor a connection. Closed connections are reported as ended.
Linux displays only measurements provided by the kernel; some metrics available on Windows may not be shown.
The kernel keeps struct tcp_info for every TCP socket from the moment
it opens and gives it to any user through sock_diag, so on Linux TCP
health needs no sudo and nothing is turned on.
- sockdiag: one socket looked up by the id the list gave, cookie in it
(without it a connection that has gone is answered by the listener
on its port, with the listener's numbers - measured), its tcp_info
read only as far as the kernel's struct reaches; a list of no state
answers whether the kernel lists TCP sockets at all.
- tcpestats: a Linux system next to Windows'. A connection is found
once in the kernel's list by its four numbers and read after that by
the handle the reading carries; a connection that is gone, in
TIME_WAIT or closed by its program reads as ended. Whole milliseconds
rounded down, as Windows and Ping say them. Windows' path is
unchanged: its tests are not edited.
- Samples say what their stack does not keep (Linux: no newest or
highest round trip, no fast resends or duplicate ACKs, no count of
measurements; Windows: no resent segments) and how wide each counter
is, so the list, the details, the report and the chart leave those
out and differences wrap where the counter does.
- The window on Linux: no rights note, its own help sheet, two column
tips, the Stop tip and a one-line chart legend; a "Resent segments"
row, which Linux counts and Windows never fills.
- Linux capture smoke: a TCP health phase - the tool's numbers against
ss -tin of the same moment, the smoothed round trip through
--latency 50, ended once closed.

Walkthrough
This change adds Linux TCP health monitoring through sock_diag and kernel tcp_info. It integrates Linux readings into the shared TCP health tool, adds platform-specific presentation and documentation, and extends unit and capture-smoke tests.
Adds TCP-info requests, socket lookup by kernel socket ID, and decoding of fields present in the kernel response. Tests cover lookup results, capability checks, and malformed or multiple responses.
Linux readings and socket handles beantester/tcpestats.py, beantester/capabilities.py, tests/test_tcpestats_linux.py, tests/test_capabilities.py, tests/test_hot_path.py, tests/test_mutation_registry.py
Adds Linux socket discovery and handle-based reads. Samples include available TCP fields and platform counter widths. Tests cover socket matching, ended connections, capability checks, rights requirements, and loopback byte counts.
Shared TCP health display and platform resources beantester/nettools/tcphealth.py, beantester/gui/toolbox/tcphealth.py, lang/*.json, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, tests/test_nettools_tcphealth.py, tests/test_gui_layout.py, tests/test_toolbox.py, tests/test_mutation_registry.py
Updates counter calculations and conditional display for fields that a stack provides. Adds Linux-specific help, tips, legend entries, translations, and documentation. Tests cover Linux display and handle propagation.
Linux capture smoke validation tools/ci_linux_capture_smoke.py, tests/test_ci_linux_capture_smoke.py, tests/test_mutation_registry.py
Adds a Linux TCP health phase that compares readings with ss, checks RTT during latency impairment, and verifies that a closed connection reads as ended.

Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior
Explanation
The PR adds substantial Linux runtime behavior and adds matching tests. Coverage includes sockdiag lookup and tcp_info parsing, Linux socket discovery and handle-based reads, lifecycle/error cases, kernel-version field absence, counter widths, RTT conversion, capability checks, UI resource selection, and the Linux smoke judge. Existing tests were adapted for the new handle API, with no existing test deletion, skip, or weakened assertion found. The Linux-only real-socket test retains an explicit platform guard.
Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling
Explanation
The GUI changes only select platform-specific help, tooltip, and legend resources. The legend uses existing shared Swatch.*.TLabel styles and existing space() tokens. No new literal colors, fonts, dimensions, margins, paddings, or corner radii were added, and the legend labels are generated by a loop.
Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems
Explanation
No clear performance problem was introduced. TCP health work runs through ToolJob/AsyncModel on a worker, not the UI thread (beantester/gui/toolbox/tcphealth.py:242-250, beantester/gui/toolbox/base.py:160-162). Polling remains once per second and the watch list is capped at 20 (beantester/gui/toolbox/tcphealth.py:69, beantester/nettools/tcphealth.py:26-27). Linux performs bounded per-socket netlink lookups, documented at about 0.1 ms each, while socket-list queries batch both address families. No large unvirtualized collection or unbounded quadratic processing is present.
Full details: Desktop Robustness
Explanation
No listed desktop-robustness failure is introduced. Linux TCP health reads kernel data through short-lived netlink sockets; each socket closes via a context manager, and the request has a 2-second timeout (beantester/netlink.py:56-94). The GUI runs one cycle through ToolJob, blocks overlapping runs with job.busy(), and cancels its polling and Tk timers during teardown (beantester/gui/toolbox/tcphealth.py:221-249). Linux does not request administrator rights (beantester/nettools/tcphealth.py:60-68). The changed product code adds no asset loading, file writes, culture-dependent parsing, destructive action, or outbound network call.
Full details: Safe File Parsing
Explanation
No unsafe file parsing is introduced. The PR only adds valid JSON translation entries. Runtime translation loading already uses bounded beantester.jsonfile.load_json() with malformed/deep/oversized input handling, and _PlainFieldsOnly prevents format-field traversal. The new test uses json.load() only on fixed repository translation paths. Other new JSON calls parse controlled smoke-test subprocess output, not files; no XML, YAML, CSV, XLSX, archive, pickle, or formula export path changed.
Full details: System Changes Are Reversible
Explanation
The PR adds read-only Linux TCP health collection. sockdiag.lookup() and lists() send sock_diag queries and decode kernel replies; they do not change filters, rules, proxy settings, time, services, registry, drivers, or hooks. Linux tcpestats reads socket rows and tcp_info; it does not enable or modify system state. The added CI smoke phase creates temporary sockets in an isolated network namespace, kills its client during cleanup, and removes the namespace in main()'s finally block. No persistent system change is introduced.
Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs
Explanation
The PR is scoped to Linux TCP health. The title and description cover the sock_diag implementation, Linux metrics, UI behavior, tests, mutation coverage, and capture smoke phase. All changed runtime files support that feature; the remaining changes are related tests, translations, and CI smoke coverage. README.md documents Linux support and metric differences, and CHANGELOG.md adds the Linux TCP health entry. The new Linux socket path reuses the existing sockdiag layer, while nettools calls the tcpestats service instead of reading storage directly. The changed cycle helper is an internal worker contract; repository callers were updated, and the added read and request parameters have backward-compatible defaults. The root public API is unchanged, and no CLI, configuration, persisted-data, or FFI format change is present.
Full details: No Secrets Or Debug Leftovers
Explanation
The diff adds hardcoded private-use IP addresses 10.233.0.2 and 10.233.0.1 in tests/test_ci_linux_capture_smoke.py (SS_LINE). The fixture only parses ss fields and does not require these network addresses, so this introduces internal network data. The other output calls are intentional JSON IPC and CI phase reporting, not debug leftovers. No agent files, environment files, credentials, URLs, emails, or absolute local paths were added.
Resolution
Replace 10.233.0.2 and 10.233.0.1 in the synthetic SS_LINE fixture with documentation-only addresses such as 192.0.2.2 and 192.0.2.1, then update any fixture assertions if needed.
Full details: Clear User-Facing Text
Explanation
Linux lookup failures are shown only as “Error”. The new Linux paths return specific failures such as socket ambiguity and sock_diag errno details (beantester/tcpestats.py:395-410), and Watch.take stores them (beantester/nettools/tcphealth.py:129-131), but state_words discards the detail and maps every failure to tools.tcphealth.state.failed (beantester/nettools/tcphealth.py:290-301). The English text is only “Error” (lang/en.json:1087). It does not say what happened or what the user should do.
Resolution
Add localized, actionable Linux failure text and display it without exposing raw exceptions. For example: “Linux could not read TCP data for this connection. Remove it and choose Show TCP health again. If the problem continues, use a kernel with TCP sock_diag support.” Map kernel-specific failures to appropriate localized messages.
Full details: No Resource Leaks
Explanation
The new TCP health smoke phase can leak the listening socket far. In tools/ci_linux_capture_smoke.py, _health_phase() calls start_tcp_echo() before its try block (around lines 652-658). If subprocess.Popen() raises, the finally block does not run, so far.close() is skipped. The daemon server thread can then remain blocked in far.accept(). start_tcp_echo() also does not close far if bind(), listen(), or Thread.start() fails.
Resolution
Protect start_tcp_echo() with an exception handler that closes far before re-raising. Move Popen() inside an outer try/finally, initialize client to None, and close far in that finally on every path. If a client exists, terminate it, wait for it, and close its stdin/stdout handles there.

Review comments at @beantester/tcpestats.py:
- Around line 404-405: Update _Linux.read to handle a missing handle by
rerunning watch for the connection instead of passing None to lookup; preserve
the existing lookup path for valid handles so failed watches can recover without
triggering an AttributeError.
Review comments at @tests/test_ci_linux_capture_smoke.py:
- Line 109: Update the byte-direction fixture used by judge_health so
bytes_received and watched["received"] use a value distinct from the sent count,
then add a test case that swaps the sent and received readings and verifies it
is rejected.
Review comments at @tools/ci_linux_capture_smoke.py:
- Line 173: Update both receive loops in the health client, including the
greeting and echo reads, to detect when recv() returns b'' and raise an error so
the client exits and _health_phase() can report the failure and clean up.

# What a review of this repository has to know
## What a complete pull request looks like here
The change, the guard that catches its absence, an entry in the mutation registry when it
guards a behaviour, and the changelog lines. **A pull request that adds behaviour with no
guard is itself a finding**, and so is one that changes behaviour without touching the prose
that describes it - the READMEs describe current state, and drift there is invisible.

## Conventions (enforced by tests)
- **New functionality is merged with the test that guards it.** That is the policy, and the
two bullets above are what it looks like in practice. It is not left to good intentions:
`tests/test_mutation_registry.py` records which broken behaviour each test is supposed to
catch, and CI re-breaks them to prove the test actually reddens.

# Contributing to Bean Network Tester
## Conventions (enforced by tests)
- Code, comments and docstrings are in **English**, and so are commit messages and pull
request descriptions. This repository is public and its history is permanent: a comment or
a message cannot be unpublished, because the commit carrying it stays. Keep local paths,
machine names, addresses and credentials out of all of them. Quote the program - interface
text, command output, code - and not a person: a sentence from a chat or an issue is
somebody else's words. CI checks the mechanical half of this on every pull request.

- tcpestats: a watch that found no socket to read (a list the kernel
would not give, two sockets with its numbers) carried no handle, and
every later reading hit None.kernel_family: an AttributeError noted
as a fault, and the connection never came back. Such a reading now
looks the connection up again.
- Linux capture smoke: the TCP health client counted recv() == b''
from a closed far end as data and never ended, so the phase would
wait for its line until CI's own limit; it stops and says why now.
The echo's listening socket is closed also when the client cannot
start. The judge's fixture has different byte counts each way, a
swapped pair among its broken cases, and documentation addresses.

What
TCP health on the Tools tab works on Linux (experimental), without sudo. The kernel keeps
struct tcp_infofor every TCP socket from the moment it opens and gives it to any userthrough sock_diag, so nothing is turned on and no rights are needed.
How
sockdiag.lookup(): one socket asked for by the id the kernel's list gave, its cookie init, with
tcp_inforequested (NLM_F_ACK, so the answer has an end).tcp_info()reads afield only when it lies inside the kernel's struct: fields are only ever added at its end,
and an older kernel sends a shorter one.
lists()asks for a list of no state - whetherthis kernel lists TCP sockets at all.
tcpestats._Linux: a connection is found once in the kernel's list by its four numbers(an IPv4 address mapped into IPv6 unwrapped, two matches refused), then read by the handle
the reading carries. No such socket, TIME_WAIT, CLOSED, a socket its program has closed
(answered without
tcp_info) and a LISTEN answer all read as ended. Round trips in wholemilliseconds rounded down, as Windows and Ping say them.

newest or highest round trip, no fast resends or duplicate ACKs, no count of measurements;
Windows: no resent segments), and counter differences wrap at each counter's own width
(Linux's timeout count is 16 bits).
