 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-09 - 10.3.0 - feat(forwarding)
+Add unified forwarding system docs and tests; update build script and .gitignore
+
+- Added docs/forwarding-system.md documenting the new unified forwarding system architecture, configuration, and usage examples
+- Updated .gitignore to exclude .claude/ directory
+- Modified package.json build script from 'tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany' to 'tsbuild tsfolders --allowimplicitany'
+- Extended ts/index.ts export to include the forwarding module
+- Introduced new tests and unit tests for forwarding, network proxy, and certificate provisioning
+
 ## 2025-05-05 - 10.2.0 - feat(CertificateManager)
 Implement on-demand certificate retrieval for missing SNI certificates. When no certificate is found for a TLS ClientHello, the system now automatically registers the domain with the Port80Handler to trigger ACME issuance and immediately falls back to using the default certificate to complete the handshake. Additionally, HTTP requests on port 80 for unrecognized domains now return a 503 indicating that certificate issuance is in progress.

+# SmartProxy Unified Forwarding System
+
+This document describes the new unified forwarding system in SmartProxy.
+
+## Overview
+
+The forwarding system provides a clean, use-case driven approach to configuring different types of traffic forwarding. It replaces the previous disparate configuration mechanisms with a unified interface.
+
+## Forwarding Types
+
+The system supports four primary forwarding types:
+
+1. **HTTP-only (`http-only`)**: Forwards HTTP traffic to a backend server.
+2. **HTTPS Passthrough (`https-passthrough`)**: Passes through raw TLS traffic without termination (SNI forwarding).
+3. **HTTPS Termination to HTTP (`https-terminate-to-http`)**: Terminates TLS and forwards the decrypted traffic to an HTTP backend.
+4. **HTTPS Termination to HTTPS (`https-terminate-to-https`)**: Terminates TLS and creates a new TLS connection to an HTTPS backend.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Each domain is configured with a forwarding type and target:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'http-only',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Helper Functions
+
+Helper functions are provided for common configurations:
+
+```typescript
+import { helpers } from '../smartproxy/forwarding/index.js';
+
+// HTTP-only
+const httpConfig = helpers.httpOnly('localhost', 3000);
+
+// HTTPS termination to HTTP
+const terminateToHttpConfig = helpers.tlsTerminateToHttp('localhost', 3000);
+
+// HTTPS termination to HTTPS
+const terminateToHttpsConfig = helpers.tlsTerminateToHttps('localhost', 8443);
+
+// HTTPS passthrough (SNI)
+const passthroughConfig = helpers.sniPassthrough('localhost', 443);
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+For more complex scenarios, additional options can be specified:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['api.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: ['10.0.0.10', '10.0.0.11'], // Round-robin load balancing
+      port: 8443
+    },
+    http: {
+      enabled: true,
+      redirectToHttps: true
+    },
+    https: {
+      // Custom certificate instead of ACME-provisioned
+      customCert: {
+        key: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...',
+        cert: '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...'
+      }
+    },
+    security: {
+      allowedIps: ['10.0.0.*', '192.168.1.*'],
+      blockedIps: ['1.2.3.4'],
+      maxConnections: 100
+    },
+    advanced: {
+      timeout: 30000,
+      headers: {
+        'X-Forwarded-For': '{clientIp}',
+        'X-Original-Host': '{sni}'
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## DomainManager
+
+The `DomainManager` class manages domains and their forwarding handlers:
+
+```typescript
+import { DomainManager, createDomainConfig, helpers } from '../smartproxy/forwarding/index.js';
+
+// Create the domain manager
+const domainManager = new DomainManager();
+
+// Add a domain
+await domainManager.addDomainConfig(
+  createDomainConfig('example.com', helpers.httpOnly('localhost', 3000))
+);
+
+// Handle a connection
+domainManager.handleConnection('example.com', socket);
+
+// Handle an HTTP request
+domainManager.handleHttpRequest('example.com', req, res);
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic HTTP Server
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'http-only',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### HTTPS Termination with HTTP Backend
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['secure.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-http',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    },
+    acme: {
+      production: true  // Use production Let's Encrypt
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### HTTPS Termination with HTTPS Backend
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['secure-backend.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: 'internal-api',
+      port: 8443
+    },
+    http: {
+      redirectToHttps: true  // Redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### SNI Passthrough
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['passthrough.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-passthrough',
+    target: {
+      host: '10.0.0.5',
+      port: 443
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Load Balancing
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['api.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: ['10.0.0.10', '10.0.0.11', '10.0.0.12'], // Round-robin
+      port: 8443
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Integration with SmartProxy
+
+The unified forwarding system integrates with SmartProxy by replacing the existing domain configuration mechanism. The `DomainManager` handles all domain matching and forwarding, while the individual forwarding handlers handle the connections and requests.
+
+The system is designed to be used in SmartProxy's `ConnectionHandler` and in the `Port80Handler` for HTTP traffic.
+
+## Testing
+
+See the `test.forwarding.ts` file for examples of how to test the forwarding system.
+
+## Migration
+
+When migrating from the older configuration system, map the existing configuration to the appropriate forwarding type:
+
+1. HTTP forwarding → `http-only`
+2. SNI forwarding → `https-passthrough`
+3. NetworkProxy with HTTP backend → `https-terminate-to-http`
+4. NetworkProxy with HTTPS backend → `https-terminate-to-https`
+
+## Extensibility
+
+The forwarding system is designed to be extensible:
+
+1. New forwarding types can be added by:
+   - Adding a new type to `ForwardingType`
+   - Creating a new handler class
+   - Adding the handler to `ForwardingHandlerFactory`
+
+2. Existing types can be extended with new options by updating the interface and handler implementations.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The system uses a factory pattern to create the appropriate handler for each forwarding type. Each handler extends a base `ForwardingHandler` class that provides common functionality.
+
+The `DomainManager` manages the domains and their handlers, and delegates connections and requests to the appropriate handler.
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- The system uses a map for fast domain lookups
+- Wildcard domains are supported through pattern matching
+- Handlers are reused for multiple domains with the same configuration
