Completed the tunnels/shared-instance three-tier unit. Key inherited anomalies corrected: Tunnel entries are [tunnel_id, interface, paths, expires]. Tunnel and tunnel-path timeouts are eight hours. Tunnel synthesis uses a signed 176-byte body. Shared-instance connections use LocalInterface simplified-HDLC framing. Unix-domain sockets are normally used where supported, with TCP loopback as fallback. Added: Tier 1 audit and deterministic vector Runtime verifier and regenerator Tunnel/shared-instance flow provenance-and-anomaly-ledger.md, establishing the inherited baseline, current high-watermark, and future upstream migration procedure Verification: Deterministic vector SHA-256: 7da6b8bf...e6239 Complete pinned suite: 24/24 passed git diff --check: passed Changes remain uncommitted. |

Flows
End-to-end chronological narratives for common Reticulum operations. Where SPEC.md is organized by layer (identity, header, token crypto, announce, LXMF, link, transport, framing), the documents here are organized by operation and walk through what each layer contributes in order — app-call → wire bytes.
The two views are complementary: SPEC.md tells you what each piece looks like; the flows tell you when each piece runs and what calls what. A flow document should not introduce new normative claims — every byte-level detail should be a cross-reference to the relevant SPEC.md section. If you find yourself describing wire bytes here that aren't in SPEC.md, that's a sign the spec has a gap to fill.

Conventions
- Each flow targets one specific upstream operation.
send-opportunistic-lxmf.mddocuments whatLXMRouter.handle_outbound(lxm)does for an opportunistic message; it does not also cover Link or propagation paths — those get their own docs so the chronology stays linear. - Numbered steps are chronological. Each step that produces wire bytes cross-references the SPEC.md section that defines those bytes.
- Source citations use the standard
pip install rns lxmfinstall layout (RNS/,LXMF/) with file + line. Line numbers are pinned to the RNS / LXMF version named at the top of each flow; out-of-date line numbers should be fixed in a PR. - "Verified" claims must be backed by a
tools/script per../agent.md§1. Flow docs inherit the verification status of the SPEC.md sections they reference — if a flow step relies on an unverified SPEC.md callout, the flow should mark that step as inheriting the unverified status rather than silently treat it as fact.
