1a1c48ef54 LB buckets column + health cascade; VPP dump fix; maglevc strictness
SPA (cmd/frontend/web):
- New "lb buckets" column backed by a 1s-debounced GetVPPLBState
  fetch loop with leading+trailing edge coalesce.
- Per-frontend health icon (/⚠️//‼️/) in the Zippy header,
  gated by a settling flag that suppresses ‼️ until the next lb-state
  reconciliation after a backend transition or weight change.
- In-place leaf merge on lb-state so stable bucket values (e.g. "0")
  don't retrigger the Flash animation on every refresh.
- Zippy cards remember open state in a cookie, default closed on
  fresh load; fixed-width frontend-title-name + reserved icon slot
  so headers line up across all cards.
- Clock-drift watchdog in sse.ts that forces a fresh EventSource on
  laptop-wake so the broker emits a resync instead of hanging on a
  dead half-open socket.

Frontend service (cmd/frontend):
- maglevClient.lbStateLoop, trigger on backend transitions +
  vpp-connect, best-effort fetch on refreshAll.
- Admin handlers explicitly wake the lb-state loop after lifecycle
  ops and set-weight (the latter emits no transition event on the
  maglevd side, so the WatchEvents path wouldn't have caught it).
- /favicon.ico served from embedded web/public IPng logo.

VPP integration:
- internal/vpp/lbstate.go: dumpASesForVIP drops Pfx from the dump
  request (setting it silently wipes IPv4 replies in the LB plugin)
  and filters results by prefix on the response side instead, which
  also demuxes multi-VIP-on-same-port cases correctly.

maglevc:
- Walk now returns the unconsumed token tail; dispatch and the
  question listener reject unknown commands with a targeted error
  instead of dumping the full command tree prefixed with garbage.
- On '?', echo the current line (including the '?') before the help
  list so the output reads like birdc.

Checker / prober:
- internal/checker: ±10% jitter on NextInterval so probes across
  restart don't all fire on the same tick.
- internal/prober: HTTP User-Agent now carries the build version
  and project URL.

fb62532fd5 VPP LB counters, src-ip-sticky, and frontend state aggregation
New feature: per-VIP / per-backend runtime counters
  * New GetVPPLBCounters RPC serving an in-process snapshot refreshed
    by a 5s scrape loop (internal/vpp/lbstats.go). Each cycle pulls
    the LB plugin's four SimpleCounters (next, first, untracked,
    no-server) plus the FIB /net/route/to CombinedCounter for every
    VIP and every backend host prefix via a single DumpStats call.
  * FIB stats-index discovery via ip_route_lookup (internal/vpp/
    fibstats.go); per-worker reduction happens in the collector.
  * Prometheus collector exports vip_packets_total (kind label),
    vip_route_{packets,bytes}_total, and backend_route_{packets,
    bytes}_total. Metrics source interface extended with VIPStats /
    BackendRouteStats; vpp.Client publishes snapshots via
    atomic.Pointer and clears them on disconnect.
  * New 'show vpp lb counters' CLI command. The 'show vpp lbstate'
    and 'sync vpp lbstate' commands are restructured under 'show
    vpp lb {state,counters}' / 'sync vpp lb state' to make room
    for the new verb.

New feature: src-ip-sticky frontends
  * New frontend YAML key 'src-ip-sticky' (bool). Plumbed through
    config.Frontend, desiredVIP, and the lb_add_del_vip_v2 call.
  * Reflected in gRPC FrontendInfo.src_ip_sticky and VPPLBVIP.
    src_ip_sticky, and shown in 'show vpp lb state' output.
  * Scraped back from VPP by parsing 'show lb vips verbose' through
    cli_inband — lb_vip_details does not expose the flag. The same
    scrape also recovers the LB pool index for each VIP, which the
    stats-segment counters are keyed on. This is a documented
    temporary workaround until VPP ships an lb_vip_v2_dump.
  * src_ip_sticky cannot be mutated on a live VIP, so a flipped flag
    triggers a tear-down-and-recreate in reconcileVIP (ASes deleted
    with flush, VIP deleted, then re-added). Flip is logged.

New feature: frontend state aggregation and events
  * New health.FrontendState (unknown/up/down) and FrontendTransition
    types. A frontend is 'up' iff at least one backend has a nonzero
    effective weight, 'unknown' iff no backend has real state yet,
    and 'down' otherwise.
  * Checker tracks per-frontend aggregate state, recomputing after
    each backend transition and emitting a frontend-transition Event
    on change. Reload drops entries for removed frontends.
  * checker.Event gains an optional FrontendTransition pointer;
    backend- vs. frontend-transition events are demultiplexed on
    that field.
  * WatchEvents now sends an initial snapshot of frontend state on
    connect (mirroring the existing backend snapshot), subscribes
    once to the checker stream, and fans out to backend/frontend
    handlers based on the client's filter flags. The proto
    FrontendEvent message grows name + transition fields.
  * New Checker.FrontendState accessor.

Refactor: pure health helpers
  * Moved the priority-failover selector and the (pool idx, active
    pool, state, cfg weight) → (vpp weight, flush) mapping out of
    internal/vpp/lbsync.go into a new internal/health/weights.go so
    the checker can reuse them for frontend-state computation
    without importing internal/vpp.
  * New functions: health.ActivePoolIndex, BackendEffectiveWeight,
    EffectiveWeights, ComputeFrontendState. lbsync.go now calls
    these directly; vpp.EffectiveWeights is a thin wrapper over
    health.EffectiveWeights retained for the gRPC observability
    path. Fully unit-tested in internal/health/weights_test.go.

maglevc polish
  * --color default is now mode-aware: on in the interactive shell,
    off in one-shot mode so piped output is script-safe. Explicit
    --color=true/false still overrides.
  * New stripHostMask helper drops /32 and /128 from VIP display;
    non-host prefixes pass through unchanged.
  * Counter table column order fixed (first before next) and
    packets/bytes columns renamed to fib-packets/fib-bytes to
    clarify they come from the FIB, not the LB plugin.

Docs
  * config-guide: document src-ip-sticky, including the VIP
    recreate-on-change caveat.
  * user-guide, maglevc.1, maglevd.8: updated command tree, new
    counters command, color defaults, and the src-ip-sticky field.

d3c5c86037 VPP load-balancer dataplane integration: state, sync, and global conf
This commit wires maglevd through to VPP's LB plugin end-to-end, using
locally-generated GoVPP bindings for the newer v2 API messages.

VPP binapi (vendored)
- New package internal/vpp/binapi/ containing lb, lb_types, ip_types, and
  interface_types, generated from a local VPP build (~/src/vpp) via a new
  'make vpp-binapi' target. GoVPP v0.12.0 upstream lacks the v2 messages we
  need (lb_conf_get, lb_add_del_vip_v2, lb_add_del_as_v2, lb_as_v2_dump,
  lb_as_set_weight), so we commit the generated output in-tree.
- All generated files go through our loggedChannel wrapper; every VPP API
  send/receive is recorded at DEBUG via slog (vpp-api-send / vpp-api-recv /
  vpp-api-send-multi / vpp-api-recv-multi) so the full wire-level trail is
  auditable. NewAPIChannel is unexported — callers must use c.apiChannel().

Read path: GetLBState{All,VIP}
- GetLBStateAll returns a full snapshot (global conf + every VIP with its
  attached application servers).
- GetLBStateVIP looks up a single VIP by (prefix, protocol, port) and
  returns (nil, nil) when the VIP doesn't exist in VPP. This is the
  efficient path for targeted updates on a busy LB.
- Helpers factored out: getLBConf, dumpAllVIPs, dumpASesForVIP, lookupVIP,
  vipFromDetails.

Write path: SyncLBState{All,VIP}
- SyncLBStateAll reconciles every configured frontend with VPP: creates
  missing VIPs, removes stale ones (with AS flush), and reconciles AS
  membership and weights within VIPs that exist on both sides.
- SyncLBStateVIP targets a single frontend by name. Never removes VIPs.
  Returns ErrFrontendNotFound (wrapped with the name) when the frontend
  isn't in config, so callers can use errors.Is.
- Shared reconcileVIP helper does the per-VIP AS diff; removeVIP is used
  only by the full-sync pass.
- LbAddDelVipV2 requests always set NewFlowsTableLength=1024. The .api
  default=1024 annotation is only applied by VAT/CLI parsers, not wire-
  level marshalling — sending 0 caused VPP to vec_validate with mask
  0xFFFFFFFF and OOM-panic.
- Pool semantics: backends in the primary (first) pool of a frontend get
  their configured weight; backends in secondary pools get weight 0. All
  backends are installed so higher layers can flip weights on failover
  without add/remove churn.
- Every individual change emits a DEBUG slog (vpp-lbsync-vip-add/del,
  vpp-lbsync-as-add/del, vpp-lbsync-as-weight). Start/done INFO logs
  carry a scope=all|vip label plus aggregate counts.

Global conf push: SetLBConf
- New SetLBConf(cfg) sends lb_conf with ipv4-src, ipv6-src, sticky-buckets,
  and flow-timeout. Called automatically on VPP (re)connect and after
  every config reload (via doReloadConfig). Results are cached on the
  Client so redundant pushes are silently skipped — only actual changes
  produce a vpp-lb-conf-set INFO log line.

Periodic drift reconciliation
- vpp.Client.lbSyncLoop runs in a goroutine tied to each VPP connection's
  lifetime. Its first tick is immediate (startup and post-reconnect
  sync quickly); subsequent ticks fire every vpp.lb.sync-interval from
  config (default 30s). Purpose: catch drift if something/someone
  modifies VPP state by hand. The loop uses a ConfigSource interface
  (satisfied by checker.Checker via its new Config() accessor) to avoid
  an import cycle with the checker package.

Config schema additions (maglev.vpp.lb)
- sync-interval: positive Go duration, default 30s.
- ipv4-src-address: REQUIRED. Used as the outer source for GRE4 encap
  to application servers. Missing this is a hard semantic error —
  maglevd --check exits 2 and the daemon refuses to start. VPP GRE
  needs a source address and every VIP we program uses GRE, so there
  is no meaningful config without it.
- ipv6-src-address: REQUIRED. Same treatment as ipv4-src-address.
- sticky-buckets-per-core: default 65536, must be a power of 2.
- flow-timeout: default 40s, must be a whole number of seconds in [1s, 120s].
- VPP validation runs at the end of convert() so structural errors in
  healthchecks/backends/frontends surface first — operators fix those,
  then get the VPP-specific requirements.

gRPC API
- New GetVPPLBState RPC returning VPPLBState: global conf + VIPs with
  ASes. Mirrors the read-path but strips fields irrelevant to our
  GRE-only deployment (srv_type, dscp, target_port).
- New SyncVPPLBState RPC with optional frontend_name. Unset → full sync
  (may remove stale VIPs). Set → single-VIP sync (never removes).
  Returns codes.NotFound for unknown frontends, codes.Unavailable when
  VPP integration is disabled or disconnected.

maglevc (CLI)
- New 'show vpp lbstate' command displaying the LB plugin state. VPP-only
  fields the dataplane irrelevant to GRE are suppressed. Per-AS lines use
  a key-value format ("address X  weight Y  flow-table-buckets Z")
  instead of a tabwriter column, which avoids the ANSI-color alignment
  issue we hit with mixed label/data rows.
- New 'sync vpp lbstate [<name>]' command. Without a name, triggers a
  full reconciliation; with a name, targets one frontend.
- Previous 'show vpp lb' renamed to 'show vpp lbstate' for consistency
  with the new sync command.

Test fixtures
- validConfig and all ad-hoc config_test.go fixtures that reach the end
  of convert() now include the two required vpp.lb src addresses.
- tests/01-maglevd/maglevd-lab/maglev.yaml gains a vpp.lb section so the
  robot integration tests can still load the config.
- cmd/maglevc/tree_test.go gains expected paths for the new commands.

Docs
- config-guide.md: new 'vpp' section in the basic structure, detailed
  vpp.lb field reference, noting ipv4/ipv6 src addresses as REQUIRED
  (hard error) with no defaults; example config updated.
- user-guide.md: documented 'show vpp info', 'show vpp lbstate',
  'sync vpp lbstate [<name>]', new --vpp-api-addr and --vpp-stats-addr
  flags, the vpp-lb-conf-set log line, and corrected the pause/resume
  description to reflect that pause cancels the probe goroutine.
- debian/maglev.yaml: example config gains a vpp.lb block with src
  addresses and commented optional overrides.
