-# SmartProxy Project Restructuring Plan
+# SmartProxy Fully Unified Configuration Plan (Updated)

 ## Project Goal
-Reorganize the SmartProxy codebase to improve maintainability, readability, and developer experience through:
-1. Standardized naming conventions
-2. Consistent directory structure
-3. Modern TypeScript patterns
-4. Clear separation of concerns
+Redesign SmartProxy's configuration for a more elegant, unified, and comprehensible approach by:
+1. Creating a single, unified configuration model that covers both "where to listen" and "how to forward"
+2. Eliminating the confusion between domain configs and port forwarding
+3. Providing a clear, declarative API that makes the intent obvious
+4. Enhancing maintainability and extensibility for future features
+5. Completely removing legacy code to eliminate technical debt

-## Current Architecture Analysis
+## Current Issues

-Based on code analysis, SmartProxy has several well-defined but inconsistently named modules:
+The current approach has several issues:

-1. **SmartProxy** - Primary TCP/SNI-based proxy with configurable routing
-2. **NetworkProxy** - HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy with TLS termination
-3. **Port80Handler** - HTTP port 80 handling for ACME and redirects
-4. **NfTablesProxy** - Low-level port forwarding via nftables
-5. **Forwarding System** - New unified configuration for all forwarding types
+1. **Dual Configuration Systems**:
+   - Port configuration (`fromPort`, `toPort`, `globalPortRanges`) for "where to listen"
+   - Domain configuration (`domainConfigs`) for "how to forward"
+   - Unclear relationship between these two systems

-The codebase employs several strong design patterns:
- **Factory Pattern** for creating forwarding handlers
- **Strategy Pattern** for implementing different forwarding methods
- **Manager Pattern** for encapsulating domain, connection, and security logic
- **Event-Driven Architecture** for loose coupling between components
+2. **Mixed Concerns**:
+   - Port management is mixed with forwarding logic
+   - Domain routing is separated from port listening
+   - Security settings defined in multiple places

-## Target Directory Structure
+3. **Complex Logic**:
+   - PortRangeManager must coordinate with domain configuration
+   - Implicit rules for handling connections based on port and domain

+4. **Difficult to Understand and Configure**:
+   - Two separate configuration hierarchies that must work together
+   - Unclear which settings take precedence
+
+## Proposed Solution: Fully Unified Routing Configuration
+
+Replace both port and domain configuration with a single, unified configuration:
+
+```typescript
+// The core unified configuration interface
+interface IRouteConfig {
+  // What to match
+  match: {
+    // Listen on these ports (required)
+    ports: number | number[] | Array<{ from: number, to: number }>;
+    
+    // Optional domain patterns to match (default: all domains)
+    domains?: string | string[];
+    
+    // Advanced matching criteria
+    path?: string;           // Match specific paths
+    clientIp?: string[];     // Match specific client IPs
+    tlsVersion?: string[];   // Match specific TLS versions
+  };
+  
+  // What to do with matched traffic
+  action: {
+    // Basic routing
+    type: 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block';
+    
+    // Target for forwarding
+    target?: {
+      host: string | string[];  // Support single host or round-robin
+      port: number;
+      preservePort?: boolean;   // Use incoming port as target port
+    };
+    
+    // TLS handling
+    tls?: {
+      mode: 'passthrough' | 'terminate' | 'terminate-and-reencrypt';
+      certificate?: 'auto' | {   // Auto = use ACME
+        key: string;
+        cert: string;
+      };
+    };
+    
+    // For redirects
+    redirect?: {
+      to: string;            // URL or template with {domain}, {port}, etc.
+      status: 301 | 302 | 307 | 308;
+    };
+    
+    // Security options
+    security?: {
+      allowedIps?: string[];
+      blockedIps?: string[];
+      maxConnections?: number;
+      authentication?: {
+        type: 'basic' | 'digest' | 'oauth';
+        // Auth-specific options
+      };
+    };
+    
+    // Advanced options
+    advanced?: {
+      timeout?: number;
+      headers?: Record<string, string>;
+      keepAlive?: boolean;
+      // etc.
+    };
+  };
+  
+  // Optional metadata
+  name?: string;             // Human-readable name for this route
+  description?: string;      // Description of the route's purpose
+  priority?: number;         // Controls matching order (higher = matched first)
+  tags?: string[];           // Arbitrary tags for categorization
+}
+
+// Main SmartProxy options
+interface ISmartProxyOptions {
+  // The unified configuration array (required)
+  routes: IRouteConfig[];
+  
+  // Global/default settings
+  defaults?: {
+    target?: {
+      host: string;
+      port: number;
+    };
+    security?: {
+      // Global security defaults
+    };
+    tls?: {
+      // Global TLS defaults
+    };
+    // ...other defaults
+  };
+  
+  // Other global settings remain (acme, etc.)
+  acme?: IAcmeOptions;
+  
+  // Advanced settings remain as well
+  // ...
+}
 ```

-## Import Strategy
-
-Since path aliases will not be used, we'll maintain standard relative imports throughout the codebase:
-
-1. **Import Strategy for Deeply Nested Files**
-   ```typescript
-   // Example: Importing from another component in a nested directory
-   // From ts/forwarding/handlers/http-handler.ts to ts/core/utils/validation-utils.ts
-   import { validateConfig } from '../../../core/utils/validation-utils.js';
-   ```
-
-2. **Barrel Files for Convenience**
-   ```typescript
-   // ts/forwarding/index.ts
-   export * from './config/forwarding-types.js';
-   export * from './handlers/base-handler.js';
-   // ... other exports
-
-   // Then in consuming code:
-   import { ForwardingHandler, httpOnly } from '../../forwarding/index.js';
-   ```
-
-3. **Flattened Imports Where Sensible**
-   ```typescript
-   // Avoid excessive nesting with targeted exports
-   // ts/index.ts will export key components for external use
-   import { SmartProxy, NetworkProxy } from '../index.js';
-   ```
-
-## Expected Outcomes
-
-### Improved Code Organization
- Related code will be grouped together in domain-specific directories
- Consistent naming conventions will make code navigation intuitive
- Clear module boundaries will prevent unintended dependencies
-
-### Enhanced Developer Experience
- Standardized interface naming will improve type clarity
- Better documentation will help new contributors get started
- Clear and predictable file locations
-
-### Maintainability Benefits
- Smaller, focused files with clear responsibilities
- Unified patterns for common operations
- Improved separation of concerns between components
- Better test organization matching source structure
-
-### Performance and Compatibility
- No performance regression from structural changes
- Backward compatibility through type aliases and consistent exports
- Clear migration path for dependent projects
-
-## Migration Strategy
-
-To ensure a smooth transition, we'll follow this approach for each component:
-
-1. Create the new file structure first
-2. Migrate code while updating relative imports
-3. Test each component as it's migrated
-4. Only remove old files once all dependencies are updated
-5. Use a phased approach to allow parallel work
-
-This approach ensures the codebase remains functional throughout the restructuring process while progressively adopting the new organization.
-
-## Measuring Success
-
-We'll measure the success of this restructuring by:
-
-1. Reduced complexity in the directory structure
-2. Improved code coverage through better test organization
-3. Faster onboarding time for new developers
-4. Less time spent navigating the codebase
-5. Cleaner git blame output showing cohesive component changes
-
-## Special Considerations
-
- We'll maintain backward compatibility for all public APIs
- We'll provide detailed upgrade guides for any breaking changes
- We'll ensure the build process produces compatible output
- We'll preserve commit history using git move operations where possible
+3. **Support**:
+   - Offer extended support for migration questions
+   - Consider maintaining security updates for v13.x for 6 months
+   - Focus active development on route-based version only
