 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-10 - 16.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(smartproxy/configuration)
+Migrate SmartProxy to a fully unified route‐based configuration by removing legacy domain-based settings and conversion code. CertProvisioner, NetworkProxyBridge, and RouteManager now use IRouteConfig exclusively, and related legacy interfaces and files have been removed.
+
+- Removed domain-config.ts and domain-manager.ts and all domain-based adapters
+- Updated CertProvisioner to extract domains from route configs instead of legacy domain configs
+- Refactored NetworkProxyBridge to convert routes directly to NetworkProxy configuration without legacy translation
+- Adjusted test suites to use route-based helpers (createHttpRoute, createHttpsRoute, etc.) and updated round-robin tests
+- Updated documentation (readme.plan.md and related docs) to reflect the clean break with a single unified configuration model
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 15.1.0 - feat(smartproxy)
+Update documentation and route helper functions; add createPortRange, createSecurityConfig, createStaticFileRoute, and createTestRoute helpers to the readme and tests. Refactor test examples to use the new helper API and remove legacy connection handling files (including the old connection handler and PortRangeManager) to fully embrace the unified route‐based configuration.
+
+- Added new helper functions (createPortRange, createSecurityConfig, createStaticFileRoute, createTestRoute) in readme and route helpers.
+- Refactored tests (test.forwarding.examples.ts, test.forwarding.unit.ts, etc.) to update references to the new API.
+- Removed legacy connection handler and PortRangeManager files to simplify code and align with route‐based configuration.
+
 ## 2025-05-10 - 15.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(documentation)
 Update readme documentation to comprehensively describe the new unified route-based configuration system in v14.0.0

-# SmartProxy Fully Unified Configuration Plan (Updated)
+# SmartProxy Complete Route-Based Implementation Plan
 
 ## Project Goal
-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
+Complete the refactoring of SmartProxy to a pure route-based configuration approach by:
+1. Removing all remaining domain-based configuration code with no backward compatibility
+2. Updating internal components to work directly and exclusively with route configurations
+3. Eliminating all conversion functions and domain-based interfaces
+4. Cleaning up deprecated methods and interfaces completely
+5. Focusing entirely on route-based helper functions for the best developer experience
 
-## Current Issues
+## Current Status
+The primary refactoring to route-based configuration has been successfully completed:
+- SmartProxy now works exclusively with route-based configurations in its public API
+- All test files have been updated to use route-based configurations
+- Documentation has been updated to explain the route-based approach
+- Helper functions have been implemented for creating route configurations
+- All features are working correctly with the new approach
 
-The current approach has several issues:
+However, there are still some internal components that use domain-based configuration for compatibility:
+1. CertProvisioner converts route configs to domain configs internally
+2. NetworkProxyBridge has conversion methods for domain-to-route configurations
+3. Legacy interfaces and types still exist in the codebase
+4. Some deprecated methods remain for backward compatibility
 
-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
+## Implementation Checklist
 
-2. **Mixed Concerns**:
-   - Port management is mixed with forwarding logic
-   - Domain routing is separated from port listening
-   - Security settings defined in multiple places
+### Phase 1: Refactor CertProvisioner for Native Route Support
+- [ ] 1.1 Update CertProvisioner constructor to store routeConfigs directly
+- [ ] 1.2 Remove extractDomainsFromRoutes() method and domainConfigs array
+- [ ] 1.3 Create extractCertificateRoutesFromRoutes() method to find routes needing certificates
+- [ ] 1.4 Update provisionAllDomains() to work with route configurations
+- [ ] 1.5 Update provisionDomain() to handle route configs
+- [ ] 1.6 Modify renewal tracking to use routes instead of domains
+- [ ] 1.7 Update renewals scheduling to use route-based approach
+- [ ] 1.8 Refactor requestCertificate() method to use routes
+- [ ] 1.9 Update ICertificateData interface to include route references
+- [ ] 1.10 Update certificate event handling to include route information
+- [ ] 1.11 Add unit tests for route-based certificate provisioning
+- [ ] 1.12 Add tests for wildcard domain handling with routes
+- [ ] 1.13 Test certificate renewal with route configurations
+- [ ] 1.14 Update certificate-types.ts to remove domain-based types
 
-3. **Complex Logic**:
-   - PortRangeManager must coordinate with domain configuration
-   - Implicit rules for handling connections based on port and domain
+### Phase 2: Refactor NetworkProxyBridge for Direct Route Processing
+- [ ] 2.1 Update NetworkProxyBridge constructor to work directly with routes
+- [ ] 2.2 Refactor syncRoutesToNetworkProxy() to eliminate domain conversion
+- [ ] 2.3 Remove convertRoutesToNetworkProxyConfigs() method
+- [ ] 2.4 Remove syncDomainConfigsToNetworkProxy() method
+- [ ] 2.5 Implement direct mapping from routes to NetworkProxy configs
+- [ ] 2.6 Update handleCertificateEvent() to work with routes
+- [ ] 2.7 Update applyExternalCertificate() to use route information
+- [ ] 2.8 Update registerDomainsWithPort80Handler() to use route data
+- [ ] 2.9 Improve forwardToNetworkProxy() to use route context
+- [ ] 2.10 Update NetworkProxy integration in SmartProxy.ts
+- [ ] 2.11 Test NetworkProxyBridge with pure route configurations
+- [ ] 2.12 Add tests for certificate updates with routes
 
-4. **Difficult to Understand and Configure**:
-   - Two separate configuration hierarchies that must work together
-   - Unclear which settings take precedence
+### Phase 3: Remove Legacy Domain Configuration Code
+- [ ] 3.1 Identify all imports of domain-config.ts and update them
+- [ ] 3.2 Create route-based alternatives for any remaining domain-config usage
+- [ ] 3.3 Delete domain-config.ts
+- [ ] 3.4 Identify all imports of domain-manager.ts and update them
+- [ ] 3.5 Delete domain-manager.ts
+- [ ] 3.6 Update or remove forwarding-types.ts (route-based only)
+- [ ] 3.7 Remove domain config support from Port80Handler
+- [ ] 3.8 Update Port80HandlerOptions to use route configs
+- [ ] 3.9 Update SmartProxy.ts to remove any remaining domain references
+- [ ] 3.10 Remove domain-related imports in certificate components
+- [ ] 3.11 Update IDomainForwardConfig to IRouteForwardConfig
+- [ ] 3.12 Update all JSDoc comments to reference routes instead of domains
+- [ ] 3.13 Run build to find any remaining type errors
+- [ ] 3.14 Fix any remaining type errors from removed interfaces
 
-## Proposed Solution: Fully Unified Routing Configuration
+### Phase 4: Enhance Route Helpers and Configuration Experience

+- [ ] 4.11 Add schema validation for route configurations
+- [ ] 4.12 Create utils for route pattern testing
+- [ ] 4.13 Update docs with pure route-based examples
+- [ ] 4.14 Remove any legacy code examples from documentation
 
-Replace both port and domain configuration with a single, unified configuration:

+To keep our codebase as clean as possible, we are taking a clean break approach with NO migration or compatibility support for domain-based configuration. We will:
 
-## Revised Implementation Plan
+1. Completely remove all domain-based code
+2. Not provide any migration utilities in the codebase
+3. Focus solely on the route-based approach
+4. Document the route-based API as the only supported method
 
-### Phase 1: Core Design & Interface Definition
+This approach prioritizes codebase clarity over backward compatibility, which is appropriate since we've already made a clean break in the public API with v14.0.0.
 
-1. **Define New Core Interfaces**:
-   - Create `IRouteConfig` interface with `match` and `action` branches
-   - Define all sub-interfaces for matching and actions
-   - Create new `ISmartProxyOptions` to use `routes` array exclusively
-   - Define template variable system for dynamic values
+## File Changes
 
-2. **Create Helper Functions**:
-   - `createRoute()` - Basic route creation with reasonable defaults
-   - `createHttpRoute()`, `createHttpsRoute()`, `createRedirect()` - Common scenarios
-   - `createLoadBalancer()` - For multi-target setups
-   - `mergeSecurity()`, `mergeDefaults()` - For combining configs
+### Files to Delete (Remove Completely)
+- [ ] `/ts/forwarding/config/domain-config.ts` - Delete with no replacement
+- [ ] `/ts/forwarding/config/domain-manager.ts` - Delete with no replacement
+- [ ] `/ts/forwarding/config/forwarding-types.ts` - Delete with no replacement
+- [ ] Any other domain-config related files found in the codebase
 
-3. **Design Router**:
-   - Decision tree for route matching algorithm
-   - Priority system for route ordering
-   - Optimized lookup strategy for fast routing
+### Files to Modify (Remove All Domain References)
