DNS A records now return the WireGuard server IP (10.0.0.1) instead of
Docker bridge VIPs so cross-cell peers resolve service names correctly
regardless of their bridge subnet. DNAT rules (wg0:53→cell-dns:53 and
wg0:80→cell-caddy:80) are applied at startup. Caddy routes by Host header,
eliminating the Docker bridge subnet conflict. Firewall cell rules allow
DNS and service (Caddy) traffic from linked cell subnets. Split-tunnel
AllowedIPs now dynamically includes connected-cell VPN subnets and drops
the 172.20.0.0/16 range. Peers with route_via set now receive full-tunnel
config (0.0.0.0/0) so all their traffic exits via the remote cell.

Adds the ability to route a specific peer's internet traffic through a
connected cell acting as an exit relay.
Cell A side:
- PUT /api/peers/<peer>/route-via {"via_cell": "cellB"} sets route_via
- Updates WG AllowedIPs to include 0.0.0.0/0 for the exit cell peer
- Adds ip rule + ip route in policy table inside cell-wireguard so the
specific peer's traffic egresses via cellB's WG IP
- Sets exit_relay_active on the cell link and pushes use_as_exit_relay=True
to cellB via peer-sync
Cell B side:
- Receives use_as_exit_relay in the peer-sync payload
- Calls apply_cell_rules(..., exit_relay=True) to add FORWARD -o eth0 ACCEPT
- Stores remote_exit_relay_active flag for startup recovery
Startup recovery:
- apply_all_cell_rules passes exit_relay=remote_exit_relay_active (cellB)
- _apply_startup_enforcement reapplies ip rule for each peer with route_via (cellA)
since policy routing rules don't survive container restart
peer_registry gets route_via field with lazy migration.
22 new tests across test_cell_link_manager, test_peer_registry, test_peer_route_via.

Adds the ability for a cell to signal to a peer that it's willing to
route internet traffic on their behalf. This is the signaling layer
for Phase 3 (per-peer routing via exit cell).
Changes:
- cell_links.json: exit_offered (bool) + remote_exit_offered (bool)
fields with lazy migration (default false for existing records)
- _push_permissions_to_remote: includes exit_offered in the push body
- apply_remote_permissions: accepts exit_offered kwarg; stores it as
remote_exit_offered on the matching cell link
- peer-sync receiver: passes exit_offered from body to apply_remote_permissions
- CellLinkManager.set_exit_offered(cell_name, offered): persists +
triggers push so the remote learns of our offer immediately
- PUT /api/cells/<name>/exit-offer: REST endpoint to toggle the flag
- 12 new tests covering all new paths

When PIC A updates service sharing permissions, it immediately pushes
the mirrored state to PIC B over the WireGuard tunnel so B's UI shows
what A is sharing with it in real time.
Architecture:
- Push model: update_permissions() → _push_permissions_to_remote() →
POST /api/cells/peer-sync/permissions on remote cell
- Auth: source IP must be inside a known cell's vpn_subnet (WireGuard
tunnel proves identity) + body's from_public_key must match stored key
- Mirror semantics: our inbound (what we share) → their outbound view
- Non-fatal: push failures set pending_push=True; replay_pending_pushes()
retries at startup so offline cells catch up on reconnect
- add_connection() also pushes initial state so remote sees permissions
immediately on the first connect
New fields on cell_links.json records (lazy-migrated):
remote_api_url, last_push_status, last_push_at, last_push_error,
pending_push, last_remote_update_at
New endpoint: POST /api/cells/peer-sync/permissions

Phase 1 — connection fixes:
- routing_manager.stop(): remove iptables -F / -t nat -F nuclear flush that
would wipe WireGuard MASQUERADE and all peer rules on any UI stop action
- wireguard_manager.add_cell_peer(): reject vpn_subnet that overlaps the local
WG network (routing blackhole — was the root cause of no handshake)
- wireguard_manager._syncconf(): pass Endpoint to 'wg set' so cell peers with
static endpoints are synced to the kernel (not just AllowedIPs)
Phase 2 — service-sharing permissions backend:
- firewall_manager: add _cell_tag(), clear_cell_rules(), apply_cell_rules(),
apply_all_cell_rules() — iptables FORWARD rules for cell-to-cell traffic
using 'pic-cell-<name>' comment tags, distinct from 'pic-peer-*'
- app.py startup enforcement: call apply_all_cell_rules(cell_links) so rules
survive API restarts
- cell_link_manager: permissions schema {inbound, outbound} per service;
lazy migration for existing entries; update_permissions(), get_permissions();
apply_cell_rules wired into add_connection/remove_connection
- routes/cells.py: GET /api/cells/services, GET+PUT /api/cells/<n>/permissions;
RuntimeError now returns 400 (not 500) from add_connection
Removed broken 'test' cell (subnet 10.0.0.0/24 collided with local WG network).
Second PIC must use a distinct subnet (e.g. 10.0.1.0/24) before reconnecting.
