 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-14 - 16.0.3 - fix(network-proxy, route-utils, route-manager)
+Normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses in IP matching functions and remove deprecated legacy configuration methods in NetworkProxy. Update route-utils and route-manager to compare both canonical and IPv6-mapped IP forms, adjust tests accordingly, and clean up legacy exports.
+
+- Updated matchIpPattern and matchIpCidr to normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses.
+- Replaced legacy 'domain' field references with 'domains' in route configurations.
+- Removed deprecated methods for converting legacy proxy configs and legacy route helpers.
+- Adjusted test cases (event system, route utils, network proxy function targets) to use modern interfaces.
+- Improved logging and error messages in route-manager and route-utils for better debugging.
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 16.0.2 - fix(test/certificate-provisioning)
+Update certificate provisioning tests with updated port mapping and ACME options; use accountEmail instead of contactEmail, adjust auto-api route creation to use HTTPS terminate helper, and refine expectations for wildcard passthrough domains.
+
+- Changed portMap mapping: HTTP now maps 80 to 8080 and HTTPS from 443 to 4443
+- Replaced 'contactEmail' with 'accountEmail' in ACME configuration (set to 'test@bleu.de')
+- Updated auto-api route to use createHttpsTerminateRoute instead of createApiRoute for consistency
+- Adjusted expectations: passthrough domains are now included in certificate extraction when using terminate route with certificate 'auto'
+- Minor cleanup in test event handling and proxy stop routines
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 16.0.1 - fix(smartproxy)
+No changes in this commit; configuration and source remain unchanged.
+
+
 ## 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.

-Version 14.0.0 introduces a breaking change with the new route-based configuration system:
+Version 16.0.0 completes the migration to a fully unified route-based configuration system with improved helper functions:
 
 ### Key Changes
 
-1. **Configuration Structure**: The configuration now uses the match/action pattern instead of the old domain-based and port-based approach
-2. **SmartProxy Options**: Now takes an array of route configurations instead of `domainConfigs` and port ranges
-3. **Helper Functions**: New helper functions have been introduced to simplify configuration
+1. **Pure Route-Based API**: The configuration now exclusively uses the match/action pattern with no legacy interfaces
+2. **Improved Helper Functions**: Enhanced helper functions with cleaner parameter signatures
+3. **Removed Legacy Support**: Legacy domain-based APIs have been completely removed
+4. **More Route Pattern Helpers**: Additional helper functions for common routing patterns
 
 ### Migration Example

 ```typescript
 import { SmartProxy, createDomainConfig, httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

-### Migration Steps
+### Migration from v14.x/v15.x to v16.0.0
 
-1. Replace `domainConfigs` with an array of route configurations using `routes`
-2. Convert each domain configuration to use the new helper functions
-3. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
-4. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only
-5. For SNI-based routing, SNI is now automatically enabled when needed

+// New v16.0.0 style:
+createHttpsTerminateRoute('example.com', { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 }, {
+  certificate: 'auto'
+})
+```
+
+### Complete Migration Steps
+
+1. Replace any remaining `domainConfigs` with route-based configuration using the `routes` array
+2. Update helper function calls to use the newer parameter format (domain first, target second, options third)
+3. Use the new specific helper functions (e.g., `createHttpsTerminateRoute` instead of `createHttpsRoute`)
+4. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
+5. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only

-# SmartProxy Complete Route-Based Implementation Plan
+# SmartProxy Configuration Troubleshooting
 
-## Project Goal
-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
+## IPv6/IPv4 Mapping Issue
 
-## 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
+### Problem Identified
+The SmartProxy is failing to match connections for wildcard domains (like `*.lossless.digital`) when IP restrictions are in place. After extensive debugging, the root cause has been identified:
 
-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
+When a connection comes in from an IPv4 address (e.g., `212.95.99.130`), the Node.js server receives it as an IPv6-mapped IPv4 address with the format `::ffff:212.95.99.130`. However, the route configuration is expecting the exact string `212.95.99.130`, causing a mismatch.
 
-## Implementation Checklist
+From the debug logs:
+```
+[DEBUG] Route rejected: clientIp mismatch. Request: ::ffff:212.95.99.130, Route patterns: ["212.95.99.130"]
+```
 
-### 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
+### Solution
 
-### 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
+To fix this issue, update the route configurations to include both formats of the IP address. Here's how to modify the affected route:
 
-### 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

-- [ ] 3.6 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
+```typescript
+// Wildcard domain route for *.lossless.digital
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: 443,
+    domains: ['*.lossless.digital'],
+    clientIp: ['212.95.99.130', '::ffff:212.95.99.130'],  // Include both formats
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: '212.95.99.130',
+      port: 443
+    },
+    tls: {
+      mode: 'passthrough'
+    },
+    security: {
+      allowedIps: ['212.95.99.130', '::ffff:212.95.99.130']  // Include both formats
+    }
+  },
+  name: 'Wildcard lossless.digital route (IP restricted)'
+}
+```
 
-### Phase 4: Enhance Route Helpers and Configuration Experience

-- [ ] 4.9 Create routePatterns.ts with common route patterns
-- [ ] 4.10 Update route-helpers/index.ts to export all helpers
-- [ ] 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
+### Alternative Long-Term Fix

-- [ ] 5.10 Verify public API matches documentation
-- [ ] 5.11 Check for any backward compatibility issues
-- [ ] 5.12 Ensure all examples in README work correctly
-- [ ] 5.13 Run full test suite with new implementation
-- [ ] 5.14 Create a final PR with all changes
+A more robust solution would be to modify the SmartProxy codebase to automatically handle IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses by normalizing them before comparison. This would involve:
 
-## Clean Break Approach
+1. Modifying the `matchIpPattern` function in `route-manager.ts` to normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses:
 
-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:
+```typescript
+private matchIpPattern(pattern: string, ip: string): boolean {
+  // Normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses
+  const normalizedIp = ip.startsWith('::ffff:') ? ip.substring(7) : ip;
+  const normalizedPattern = pattern.startsWith('::ffff:') ? pattern.substring(7) : pattern;
+  
+  // Handle exact match with normalized addresses
+  if (normalizedPattern === normalizedIp) {
+    return true;
+  }
+  
+  // Rest of the existing function...
+}
+```
 
-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
+2. Making similar modifications to other IP-related functions in the codebase.
 
-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.
+## Wild Card Domain Matching Issue
 
-## File Changes
+### Explanation
 
-### 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
+The wildcard domain matching in SmartProxy works as follows:
 
-### Files to Modify (Remove All Domain References)
-- [ ] `/ts/certificate/providers/cert-provisioner.ts` - Complete rewrite to use routes only
-- [ ] `/ts/proxies/smart-proxy/network-proxy-bridge.ts` - Remove all domain conversion code
-- [ ] `/ts/certificate/models/certificate-types.ts` - Remove domain-based interfaces
-- [ ] `/ts/certificate/index.ts` - Clean up all domain-related types and exports
-- [ ] `/ts/http/port80/port80-handler.ts` - Update to work exclusively with routes
-- [ ] `/ts/proxies/smart-proxy/smart-proxy.ts` - Remove any remaining domain references
-- [ ] All other files with domain configuration imports - Remove or replace
+1. When a pattern like `*.lossless.digital` is specified, it's converted to a regex: `/^.*\.lossless\.digital$/i`
+2. This correctly matches any subdomain like `my.lossless.digital`, `api.lossless.digital`, etc.
+3. However, it does NOT match the apex domain `lossless.digital` (without a subdomain)
 
-### New Files to Create (Route-Focused)
-- [ ] `/ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-validators.ts` - Validation utilities
-- [ ] `/ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-utils.ts` - Route utility functions
-- [ ] `/ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-patterns.ts` - Common route patterns
+If you need to match both the apex domain and subdomains, use a list:
+```typescript
+domains: ['lossless.digital', '*.lossless.digital']
+```
 
-## Benefits of Complete Refactoring
+## Debugging SmartProxy
 
-1. **Codebase Simplicity**:
-   - No dual implementation or conversion logic
-   - Simplified mental model for developers
-   - Easier to maintain and extend
+To debug routing issues in SmartProxy:
 
-2. **Performance Improvements**:
-   - Remove conversion overhead
-   - More efficient route matching
-   - Reduced memory footprint
+1. Add detailed logging to the `route-manager.js` file in the `dist_ts` directory:
+   - `findMatchingRoute` method - to see what criteria are being checked
+   - `matchRouteDomain` method - to see domain matching logic
+   - `matchDomain` method - to see pattern matching
+   - `matchIpPattern` method - to see IP matching logic
 
-3. **Better Developer Experience**:
-   - Consistent API throughout
-   - Cleaner documentation
-   - More intuitive configuration patterns
+2. Run the proxy with debugging enabled:
+   ```
+   pnpm run startNew
+   ```
 
-4. **Future-Proof Design**:
-   - Clear foundation for new features
-   - Easier to implement advanced routing capabilities
-   - Better integration with modern web patterns
+3. Monitor the logs for detailed information about the routing process and identify where matches are failing.
+
+## Priority and Route Order
+
+Remember that routes are evaluated in priority order (higher priority first). If multiple routes could match the same request, ensure that the more specific routes have higher priority.
+
+When routes have the same priority (or none specified), they're evaluated in the order they're defined in the configuration.
