Opening 30333 on the host does not make a node dialable. Behind NAT
libp2p advertises the address it can see -- a 10.x mesh address -- so an
edge port forward delivers packets that no peer ever knows to send.
--public-addr is what closes that gap.
Plumbed as a per-host matrix field rather than a constant, since a
mesh-only node should not advertise anything. The unit takes it as a
bare $VAR so systemd word-splits it: a complete flag becomes two
arguments, empty becomes zero, and one unit serves both cases.
Validate now reports which state a node is in. An undialable validator
mines happily and reports active while contributing nothing back to the
network, which is exactly the class of silent failure the rest of the
validate step exists to catch.
