Web-console "Approve" (delegated pairing, roadmap §8b-1) was unreachable: every
client routed a fresh pair=required host straight to the SPAKE2 PIN ceremony, so
no "knock" was ever recorded; and an unpaired connect was rejected+closed with no
way to resume after approval. The backend + console were complete but had no
client-side trigger and no post-approval admit path.
Host (native_pairing.rs, punktfunk1.rs): an unpaired identified knock is now
PARKED instead of rejected — it releases its NVENC session permit, awaits an
operator decision (NativePairing::wait_for_decision, woken by a Notify on
approve/deny), and on approval re-acquires a slot and admits the SAME connection
with no reconnect. QUIC keep-alive (4s/8s) holds the parked connection warm. The
pairing gate moves out of the HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT-bounded handshake future;
approve_pending is reordered read-then-add and wait_for_decision double-checks
is_paired to close a "neither pending nor paired" race. New PENDING_APPROVAL_WAIT
(180s). Tests: delegated_approval_admits_after_knock now approves mid-park (no
reconnect) + new wait_for_decision_approve_deny_timeout unit test (108 host tests
green).
Clients (Linux/Apple/Windows/Android): a fresh pair=required host now offers
"Request access" alongside the PIN ceremony — a plain identified connect with a
~185s handshake budget and a cancelable "waiting for approval" UI; on success the
host is saved as paired, and cancel returns the UI immediately while a late-
resolving connect is torn down silently via a per-attempt flag. Apple reuses the
existing C-ABI timeout_ms (no ABI change); Windows adds SessionParams.connect_timeout
+ a RequestAccess screen; Android adds a timeoutMs arg to the nativeConnect JNI
seam (both sides + both callers). Linux built + clippy + fmt clean; Apple/Windows/
Android pending their CI/on-device compiles.
SPAKE2 ceremony reviewed end-to-end against the spake2 0.4 contract — correct, no
changes needed.
