-# Certificate Management in SmartProxy v19+
-
-## Overview
-
-SmartProxy v19+ enhances certificate management with support for both global and route-level ACME configuration. This guide covers the updated certificate management system, which now supports flexible configuration hierarchies.
-
-## Key Changes from Previous Versions
-
-### v19.0.0 Changes
-- **Global ACME configuration**: Set default ACME settings for all routes with `certificate: 'auto'`
-- **Configuration hierarchy**: Top-level ACME settings serve as defaults, route-level settings override
-- **Better error messages**: Clear guidance when ACME configuration is missing
-- **Improved validation**: Configuration validation warns about common issues
-
-### v18.0.0 Changes (from v17)
-- **No backward compatibility**: Clean break from the legacy certificate system
-- **No separate Port80Handler**: ACME challenges handled as regular SmartProxy routes
-- **Unified route-based configuration**: Certificates configured directly in route definitions
-- **Direct integration with @push.rocks/smartacme**: Leverages SmartAcme's built-in capabilities
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Global ACME Configuration (New in v19+)
-
-Set default ACME settings at the top level that apply to all routes with `certificate: 'auto'`:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  // Global ACME defaults
-  acme: {
-    email: 'ssl@example.com',         // Required for Let's Encrypt
-    useProduction: false,             // Use staging by default
-    port: 80,                         // Port for HTTP-01 challenges
-    renewThresholdDays: 30,           // Renew 30 days before expiry
-    certificateStore: './certs',      // Certificate storage directory
-    autoRenew: true,                  // Enable automatic renewal
-    renewCheckIntervalHours: 24       // Check for renewals daily
-  },
-  
-  routes: [
-    // Routes using certificate: 'auto' will inherit global settings
-    {
-      name: 'website',
-      match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-        tls: {
-          mode: 'terminate',
-          certificate: 'auto'  // Uses global ACME configuration
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  ]
-});
-```
-
-### Route-Level Certificate Configuration
-
-Certificates are now configured at the route level using the `tls` property:
-
-```typescript
-const route: IRouteConfig = {
-  name: 'secure-website',
-  match: {
-    ports: 443,
-    domains: ['example.com', 'www.example.com']
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-    tls: {
-      mode: 'terminate',
-      certificate: 'auto',  // Use ACME (Let's Encrypt)
-      acme: {
-        email: 'admin@example.com',
-        useProduction: true,
-        renewBeforeDays: 30
-      }
-    }
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Static Certificate Configuration
-
-For manually managed certificates:
-
-```typescript
-const route: IRouteConfig = {
-  name: 'api-endpoint',
-  match: {
-    ports: 443,
-    domains: 'api.example.com'
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 9000 },
-    tls: {
-      mode: 'terminate',
-      certificate: {
-        certFile: './certs/api.crt',
-        keyFile: './certs/api.key',
-        ca: '...' // Optional CA chain
-      }
-    }
-  }
-};
-```
-
-## TLS Modes
-
-SmartProxy supports three TLS modes:
-
-1. **terminate**: Decrypt TLS at the proxy and forward plain HTTP
-2. **passthrough**: Pass encrypted TLS traffic directly to the backend
-3. **terminate-and-reencrypt**: Decrypt at proxy, then re-encrypt to backend
-
-## Certificate Storage
-
-Certificates are stored in the `./certs` directory by default:
-
-```
-./certs/
-├── route-name/
-│   ├── cert.pem
-│   ├── key.pem
-│   ├── ca.pem (if available)
-│   └── meta.json
-```
-
-## ACME Integration
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. SmartProxy creates a high-priority route for ACME challenges
-2. When ACME server makes requests to `/.well-known/acme-challenge/*`, SmartProxy handles them automatically
-3. Certificates are obtained and stored locally
-4. Automatic renewal checks every 12 hours
-
-### Configuration Options
-
-```typescript
-export interface IRouteAcme {
-  email: string;                    // Contact email for ACME account
-  useProduction?: boolean;          // Use production servers (default: false)
-  challengePort?: number;           // Port for HTTP-01 challenges (default: 80)
-  renewBeforeDays?: number;         // Days before expiry to renew (default: 30)
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Manual Certificate Operations
-
-```typescript
-// Get certificate status
-const status = proxy.getCertificateStatus('route-name');
-console.log(status);
-// {
-//   domain: 'example.com',
-//   status: 'valid',
-//   source: 'acme',
-//   expiryDate: Date,
-//   issueDate: Date
-// }
-
-// Force certificate renewal
-await proxy.renewCertificate('route-name');
-
-// Manually provision a certificate
-await proxy.provisionCertificate('route-name');
-```
-
-### Events
-
-SmartProxy emits certificate-related events:
-
-```typescript
-proxy.on('certificate:issued', (event) => {
-  console.log(`New certificate for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-
-proxy.on('certificate:renewed', (event) => {
-  console.log(`Certificate renewed for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-
-proxy.on('certificate:expiring', (event) => {
-  console.log(`Certificate expiring soon for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-```
-
-## Migration from Previous Versions
-
-### Before (v17 and earlier)
-
-```typescript
-// Old approach with Port80Handler
-const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
-  port: 443,
-  acme: {
-    enabled: true,
-    accountEmail: 'admin@example.com',
-    // ... other ACME options
-  }
-});
-
-// Certificate provisioning was automatic or via certProvisionFunction
-```
-
-### After (v18+)
-
-```typescript
-// New approach with route-based configuration
-const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto',
-        acme: {
-          email: 'admin@example.com',
-          useProduction: true
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-});
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Certificate not provisioning**: Ensure port 80 is accessible for ACME challenges
-2. **ACME rate limits**: Use staging environment for testing
-3. **Permission errors**: Ensure the certificate directory is writable
-
-### Debug Mode
-
-Enable detailed logging to troubleshoot certificate issues:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  enableDetailedLogging: true,
-  // ... other options
-});
-```
-
-## Dynamic Route Updates
-
-When routes are updated dynamically using `updateRoutes()`, SmartProxy maintains certificate management continuity:
-
-```typescript
-// Update routes with new domains
-await proxy.updateRoutes([
-  {
-    name: 'new-domain',
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'newsite.example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto'  // Will use global ACME config
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]);
-```
-
-### Important Notes on Route Updates
-
-1. **Certificate Manager Recreation**: When routes are updated, the certificate manager is recreated to reflect the new configuration
-2. **ACME Callbacks Preserved**: The ACME route update callback is automatically preserved during route updates
-3. **Existing Certificates**: Certificates already provisioned are retained in the certificate store
-4. **New Route Certificates**: New routes with `certificate: 'auto'` will trigger certificate provisioning
-
-### ACME Challenge Route Lifecycle
-
-SmartProxy v19.2.3+ implements an improved challenge route lifecycle to prevent port conflicts:
-
-1. **Single Challenge Route**: The ACME challenge route on port 80 is added once during initialization, not per certificate
-2. **Persistent During Provisioning**: The challenge route remains active throughout the entire certificate provisioning process
-3. **Concurrency Protection**: Certificate provisioning is serialized to prevent race conditions
-4. **Automatic Cleanup**: The challenge route is automatically removed when the certificate manager stops
-
-### Troubleshooting Port 80 Conflicts
-
-If you encounter "EADDRINUSE" errors on port 80:
-
-1. **Check Existing Services**: Ensure no other service is using port 80
-2. **Verify Configuration**: Confirm your ACME configuration specifies the correct port
-3. **Monitor Logs**: Check for "Challenge route already active" messages
-4. **Restart Clean**: If issues persist, restart SmartProxy to reset state
-
-### Route Update Best Practices
-
-1. **Batch Updates**: Update multiple routes in a single `updateRoutes()` call for efficiency
-2. **Monitor Certificate Status**: Check certificate status after route updates
-3. **Handle ACME Errors**: Implement error handling for certificate provisioning failures
-4. **Test Updates**: Test route updates in staging environment first
-5. **Check Port Availability**: Ensure port 80 is available before enabling ACME
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always test with staging ACME servers first**
-2. **Set up monitoring for certificate expiration**
-3. **Use meaningful route names for easier certificate management**
-4. **Store static certificates securely with appropriate permissions**
-5. **Implement certificate status monitoring in production**
-6. **Batch route updates when possible to minimize disruption**
-7. **Monitor certificate provisioning after route updates**

-# SmartProxy Port Handling
-
-This document covers all the port handling capabilities in SmartProxy, including port range specification, dynamic port mapping, and runtime port management.
-
-## Port Range Syntax
-
-SmartProxy offers flexible port range specification through the `TPortRange` type, which can be defined in three different ways:
-
-### 1. Single Port
-
-```typescript
-// Match a single port
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: 443
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Array of Specific Ports
-
-```typescript
-// Match multiple specific ports
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [80, 443, 8080]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Port Range
-
-```typescript
-// Match a range of ports
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Mixed Port Specifications
-
-You can combine different port specification methods in a single rule:
-
-```typescript
-// Match both specific ports and port ranges
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [80, 443, { from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Port Forwarding Options
-
-SmartProxy offers several ways to handle port forwarding from source to target:
-
-### 1. Static Port Forwarding
-
-Forward to a fixed target port:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 8080
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Preserve Source Port
-
-Forward to the same port on the target:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Dynamic Port Mapping
-
-Use a function to determine the target port based on connection context:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        // Calculate port based on request details
-        return 8000 + (context.port % 100);
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Port Selection Context
-
-When using dynamic port mapping functions, you have access to a rich context object that provides details about the connection:
-
-```typescript
-interface IRouteContext {
-  // Connection information
-  port: number;          // The matched incoming port
-  domain?: string;       // The domain from SNI or Host header
-  clientIp: string;      // The client's IP address
-  serverIp: string;      // The server's IP address
-  path?: string;         // URL path (for HTTP connections)
-  query?: string;        // Query string (for HTTP connections)
-  headers?: Record<string, string>; // HTTP headers (for HTTP connections)
-
-  // TLS information
-  isTls: boolean;        // Whether the connection is TLS
-  tlsVersion?: string;   // TLS version if applicable
-
-  // Route information
-  routeName?: string;    // The name of the matched route
-  routeId?: string;      // The ID of the matched route
-
-  // Additional properties
-  timestamp: number;     // The request timestamp
-  connectionId: string;  // Unique connection identifier
-}
-```
-
-## Common Port Mapping Patterns
-
-### 1. Port Offset Mapping
-
-Forward traffic to target ports with a fixed offset:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => context.port + 1000
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Domain-Based Port Mapping
-
-Forward to different backend ports based on the domain:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        switch (context.domain) {
-          case 'api.example.com': return 8001;
-          case 'admin.example.com': return 8002;
-          case 'staging.example.com': return 8003;
-          default: return 8000;
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Load Balancing with Hash-Based Distribution
-
-Distribute connections across a port range using a deterministic hash function:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        // Simple hash function to ensure consistent mapping
-        const hostname = context.domain || '';
-        const hash = hostname.split('').reduce((a, b) => a + b.charCodeAt(0), 0);
-        return 8000 + (hash % 10); // Map to ports 8000-8009
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## IPv6-Mapped IPv4 Compatibility
-
-SmartProxy automatically handles IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses for optimal compatibility. When a connection from an IPv4 address (e.g., `192.168.1.1`) arrives as an IPv6-mapped address (`::ffff:192.168.1.1`), the system normalizes these addresses for consistent matching.
-
-This is particularly important when:
-
-1. Matching client IP restrictions in route configurations
-2. Preserving source IP for outgoing connections
-3. Tracking connections and rate limits
-
-No special configuration is needed - the system handles this normalization automatically.
-
-## Dynamic Port Management
-
-SmartProxy allows for runtime port configuration changes without requiring a restart.
-
-### Adding and Removing Ports
-
-```typescript
-// Get the SmartProxy instance
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({ /* config */ });
-
-// Add a new listening port
-await proxy.addListeningPort(8081);
-
-// Remove a listening port
-await proxy.removeListeningPort(8082);
-```
-
-### Runtime Route Updates
-
-```typescript
-// Get current routes
-const currentRoutes = proxy.getRoutes();
-
-// Add new route for the new port
-const newRoute = {
-  name: 'New Dynamic Route',
-  match: {
-    ports: 8081,
-    domains: ['dynamic.example.com']
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 9000
-    }
-  }
-};
-
-// Update the route configuration
-await proxy.updateRoutes([...currentRoutes, newRoute]);
-
-// Remove routes for a specific port
-const routesWithout8082 = currentRoutes.filter(route => {
-  const ports = proxy.routeManager.expandPortRange(route.match.ports);
-  return !ports.includes(8082);
-});
-await proxy.updateRoutes(routesWithout8082);
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Port Range Expansion
-
-When using large port ranges, SmartProxy uses internal caching to optimize performance. For example, a range like `{ from: 1000, to: 2000 }` is expanded only once and then cached for future use.
-
-### Port Range Validation
-
-The system automatically validates port ranges to ensure:
-
-1. Port numbers are within the valid range (1-65535)
-2. The "from" value is not greater than the "to" value in range specifications
-3. Port ranges do not contain duplicate entries
-
-Invalid port ranges will be logged as warnings and skipped during configuration.
-
-## Configuration Recipes
-
-### Global Port Range
-
-Listen on a large range of ports and forward to the same ports on a backend:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'Global port range forwarding',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }]
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Domain-Specific Port Ranges
-
-Different port ranges for different domain groups:
-
-```typescript
-[
-  {
-    name: 'API port range',
-    match: {
-      ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'api.backend.example.com',
-        port: 'preserve'
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Admin port range',
-    match: {
-      ports: [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'admin.backend.example.com',
-        port: 'preserve'
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]
-```
-
-### Mixed Internal/External Port Forwarding
-
-Forward specific high-numbered ports to standard ports on internal servers:
-
-```typescript
-[
-  {
-    name: 'Web server forwarding',
-    match: {
-      ports: [8080, 8443]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'web.internal',
-        port: (context) => context.port === 8080 ? 80 : 443
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Database forwarding',
-    match: {
-      ports: [15432]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'db.internal',
-        port: 5432
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]
-```
-
-## Debugging Port Configurations
-
-When troubleshooting port forwarding issues, enable detailed logging:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [ /* your routes */ ],
-  enableDetailedLogging: true
-});
-```
-
-This will log:
-- Port configuration during startup
-- Port matching decisions during routing
-- Dynamic port function results
-- Connection details including source and target ports
-
-## Port Security Considerations
-
-### Restricting Ports
-
-For security, you may want to restrict which ports can be accessed by specific clients:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'Restricted port range',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }],
-    clientIp: ['10.0.0.0/8'] // Only internal network can access these ports
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'internal.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Rate Limiting by Port
-
-Apply different rate limits for different port ranges:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'API ports with rate limiting',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'api.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    },
-    security: {
-      rateLimit: {
-        enabled: true,
-        maxRequests: 100,
-        window: 60 // 60 seconds
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Specific Port Ranges**: Instead of large ranges (e.g., 1-65535), use specific ranges for specific purposes
-
-2. **Prioritize Routes**: When multiple routes could match, use the `priority` field to ensure the most specific route is matched first
-
-3. **Name Your Routes**: Use descriptive names to make debugging easier, especially when using port ranges
-
-4. **Use Preserve Port Where Possible**: Using `port: 'preserve'` is more efficient and easier to maintain than creating multiple specific mappings
-
-5. **Limit Dynamic Port Functions**: While powerful, complex port functions can be harder to debug; prefer simple map or math-based functions
-
-6. **Use Port Variables**: For complex setups, define your port ranges as variables for easier maintenance:
-
-```typescript
-const API_PORTS = [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }];
-const ADMIN_PORTS = [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }];
-
-const routes = [
-  {
-    name: 'API Routes',
-    match: { ports: API_PORTS, /* ... */ },
-    // ...
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Admin Routes',
-    match: { ports: ADMIN_PORTS, /* ... */ },
-    // ...
-  }
-];

-# SmartProxy ACME Simplification Implementation Summary
-
-## Overview
-
-We successfully implemented comprehensive support for both global and route-level ACME configuration in SmartProxy v19.0.0, addressing the certificate acquisition issues and improving the developer experience.
-
-## What Was Implemented
-
-### 1. Enhanced Configuration Support
-- Added global ACME configuration at the SmartProxy level
-- Maintained support for route-level ACME configuration
-- Implemented configuration hierarchy where global settings serve as defaults
-- Route-level settings override global defaults when specified
-
-### 2. Updated Core Components
-
-#### SmartProxy Class (`smart-proxy.ts`)
-- Enhanced ACME configuration normalization in constructor
-- Added support for both `email` and `accountEmail` fields
-- Updated `initializeCertificateManager` to prioritize configurations correctly
-- Added `validateAcmeConfiguration` method for comprehensive validation
-
-#### SmartCertManager Class (`certificate-manager.ts`)
-- Added `globalAcmeDefaults` property to store top-level configuration
-- Implemented `setGlobalAcmeDefaults` method
-- Updated `provisionAcmeCertificate` to use global defaults
-- Enhanced error messages to guide users to correct configuration
-
-#### ISmartProxyOptions Interface (`interfaces.ts`)
-- Added comprehensive documentation for global ACME configuration
-- Enhanced IAcmeOptions interface with better field descriptions
-- Added example usage in JSDoc comments
-
-### 3. Configuration Validation
-- Checks for missing ACME email configuration
-- Validates port 80 availability for HTTP-01 challenges
-- Warns about wildcard domains with auto certificates
-- Detects environment mismatches between global and route configs
-
-### 4. Test Coverage
-Created comprehensive test suite (`test.acme-configuration.node.ts`):
-- Top-level ACME configuration
-- Route-level ACME configuration
-- Mixed configuration with overrides
-- Error handling for missing email
-- Support for accountEmail alias
-
-### 5. Documentation Updates
-
-#### Main README (`readme.md`)
-- Added global ACME configuration example
-- Updated code examples to show both configuration styles
-- Added dedicated ACME configuration section
-
-#### Certificate Management Guide (`certificate-management.md`)
-- Updated for v19.0.0 changes
-- Added configuration hierarchy explanation
-- Included troubleshooting section
-- Added migration guide from v18
-
-#### Readme Hints (`readme.hints.md`)
-- Added breaking change warning for ACME configuration
-- Included correct configuration example
-- Added migration considerations
-
-## Key Benefits
-
-1. **Reduced Configuration Duplication**: Global ACME settings eliminate need to repeat configuration
-2. **Better Developer Experience**: Clear error messages guide users to correct configuration
-3. **Backward Compatibility**: Route-level configuration still works as before
-4. **Flexible Configuration**: Can mix global defaults with route-specific overrides
-5. **Improved Validation**: Warns about common configuration issues
-
-## Testing Results
-
-All tests pass successfully:
-- Global ACME configuration works correctly
-- Route-level configuration continues to function
-- Configuration hierarchy behaves as expected
-- Error messages provide clear guidance
-
-## Migration Path
-
-For users upgrading from v18:
-1. Existing route-level ACME configuration continues to work
-2. Can optionally move common settings to global level
-3. Route-specific overrides remain available
-4. No breaking changes for existing configurations
-
-## Conclusion
-
-The implementation successfully addresses the original issue where SmartAcme was not initialized due to missing configuration. Users now have flexible options for configuring ACME, with clear error messages and comprehensive documentation to guide them.

-## Testing Framework
-- Uses `@push.rocks/tapbundle` (`tap`, `expect`, `expactAsync`).
-- Test files: must start with `test.` and use `.ts` extension.
-- Run specific tests via `tsx`, e.g., `tsx test/test.router.ts`.
+## How to Test
+
+### Test Structure
+Tests use tapbundle from `@git.zone/tstest`. The correct pattern is:
+
+```typescript
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('test description', async () => {
+  // Test logic here
+  expect(someValue).toEqual(expectedValue);
+});
+
+// IMPORTANT: Must end with tap.start()
+tap.start();
+```
+
+### Expect Syntax (from @push.rocks/smartexpect)
+```typescript
+// Type assertions
+expect('hello').toBeTypeofString();
+expect(42).toBeTypeofNumber();
+
+// Equality
+expect('hithere').toEqual('hithere');
+
+// Negated assertions
+expect(1).not.toBeTypeofString();
+
+// Regular expressions
+expect('hithere').toMatch(/hi/);
+
+// Numeric comparisons
+expect(5).toBeGreaterThan(3);
+expect(0.1 + 0.2).toBeCloseTo(0.3, 10);
+
+// Arrays
+expect([1, 2, 3]).toContain(2);
+expect([1, 2, 3]).toHaveLength(3);
+
+// Async assertions
+await expect(asyncFunction()).resolves.toEqual('expected');
+await expect(asyncFunction()).resolves.withTimeout(5000).toBeTypeofString();
+
+// Complex object navigation
+expect(complexObject)
+  .property('users')
+  .arrayItem(0)
+  .property('name')
+  .toEqual('Alice');
+```

+## HTTP-01 ACME Challenge Fix (v19.3.8)
+
+### Issue
+Non-TLS connections on ports configured in `useHttpProxy` were not being forwarded to HttpProxy. This caused ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail when the ACME port (usually 80) was included in `useHttpProxy`.
+
+### Root Cause
+In the `RouteConnectionHandler.handleForwardAction` method, only connections with TLS settings (mode: 'terminate' or 'terminate-and-reencrypt') were being forwarded to HttpProxy. Non-TLS connections were always handled as direct connections, even when the port was configured for HttpProxy.
+
+### Solution
+Added a check for non-TLS connections on ports listed in `useHttpProxy`:
+```typescript
+// No TLS settings - check if this port should use HttpProxy
+const isHttpProxyPort = this.settings.useHttpProxy?.includes(record.localPort);
+
+if (isHttpProxyPort && this.httpProxyBridge.getHttpProxy()) {
+  // Forward non-TLS connections to HttpProxy if configured
+  this.httpProxyBridge.forwardToHttpProxy(/*...*/);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying the fix
+- Tests confirm that non-TLS connections on HttpProxy ports are properly forwarded
+- Tests verify that non-HttpProxy ports still use direct connections
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  useHttpProxy: [80], // Enable HttpProxy for port 80
+  httpProxyPort: 8443,
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+    port: 80
+  },
+  routes: [
+    // Your routes here
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+
+### Issue
+Certificate provisioning would start before ports were listening, causing ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail with connection refused errors.
+
+### Root Cause
+SmartProxy initialization sequence:
+1. Certificate manager initialized → immediately starts provisioning
+2. Ports start listening (too late for ACME challenges)
+
+### Solution
+Deferred certificate provisioning until after ports are ready:
+```typescript
+// SmartCertManager.initialize() now skips automatic provisioning
+// SmartProxy.start() calls provisionAllCertificates() directly after ports are listening
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.acme-timing-simple.ts` - Verifies proper timing sequence
+
+### Migration
+Update to v19.3.9+, no configuration changes needed.
+
+## Socket Handler Race Condition Fix (v19.5.0)
+
+### Issue
+Initial data chunks were being emitted before async socket handlers had completed setup, causing data loss when handlers performed async operations before setting up data listeners.
+
+### Root Cause
+The `handleSocketHandlerAction` method was using `process.nextTick` to emit initial chunks regardless of whether the handler was sync or async. This created a race condition where async handlers might not have their listeners ready when the initial data was emitted.
+
+### Solution
+Differentiated between sync and async handlers:
+```typescript
+const result = route.action.socketHandler(socket);
+
+if (result instanceof Promise) {
+  // Async handler - wait for completion before emitting initial data
+  result.then(() => {
+    if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    }
+  }).catch(/*...*/);
+} else {
+  // Sync handler - use process.nextTick as before
+  if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+    process.nextTick(() => {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.socket-handler-race.ts` - Specifically tests async handlers with delayed listener setup
+- Verifies that initial data is received even when handler sets up listeners after async work
+
+### Usage Note
+Socket handlers require initial data from the client to trigger routing (not just a TLS handshake). Clients must send at least one byte of data for the handler to be invoked.
+
+## Route-Specific Security Implementation (v19.5.3)
+
+### Issue
+Route-specific security configurations (ipAllowList, ipBlockList, authentication) were defined in the route types but not enforced at runtime.
+
+### Root Cause
+The RouteConnectionHandler only checked global IP validation but didn't enforce route-specific security rules after matching a route.
+
+### Solution
+Added security checks after route matching:
+```typescript
+// Apply route-specific security checks
+const routeSecurity = route.action.security || route.security;
+if (routeSecurity) {
+  // Check IP allow/block lists
+  if (routeSecurity.ipAllowList || routeSecurity.ipBlockList) {
+    const isIPAllowed = this.securityManager.isIPAuthorized(
+      remoteIP,
+      routeSecurity.ipAllowList || [],
+      routeSecurity.ipBlockList || []
+    );
+    
+    if (!isIPAllowed) {
+      socket.end();
+      this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'route_ip_blocked');
+      return;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+

+- `test/test.route-security-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying SecurityManager.isIPAuthorized logic
+- Tests confirm IP allow/block lists work correctly with glob patterns
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const routes: IRouteConfig[] = [{
+  name: 'secure-api',
+  match: { ports: 8443, domains: 'api.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 },
+    security: {
+      ipAllowList: ['192.168.1.*', '10.0.0.0/8'],    // Allow internal IPs
+      ipBlockList: ['192.168.1.100'],                // But block specific IP
+      maxConnections: 100,                            // Per-route limit (TODO)
+      authentication: {                               // HTTP-only, requires TLS termination
+        type: 'basic',
+        credentials: [{ username: 'api', password: 'secret' }]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}];
+```
+
+### Notes
+- IP lists support glob patterns (via minimatch): `192.168.*`, `10.?.?.1`
+- Block lists take precedence over allow lists
+- Authentication requires TLS termination (cannot be enforced on passthrough/direct connections)
+- Per-route connection limits are not yet implemented
+- Security is defined at the route level (route.security), not in the action
+- Route matching is based solely on match criteria; security is enforced after matching

 # SmartProxy Development Plan
 
-cat /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md
+## Implementation Plan: Socket Handler Function Support (Simplified) ✅ COMPLETED
 
-## Critical Bug Fix: Port 80 EADDRINUSE with ACME Challenge Routes
+### Overview
+Add support for custom socket handler functions with the simplest possible API - just pass a function that receives the socket.
 
-### Problem Statement
-SmartProxy encounters an "EADDRINUSE" error on port 80 when provisioning multiple ACME certificates. The issue occurs because the certificate manager adds and removes the challenge route for each certificate individually, causing race conditions when multiple certificates are provisioned concurrently.
+### User Experience Goal
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'my-custom-protocol',
+    match: { ports: 9000, domains: 'custom.example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: (socket) => {
+        // User has full control of the socket
+        socket.write('Welcome!\n');
+        socket.on('data', (data) => {
+          socket.write(`Echo: ${data}`);
+        });
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
 
-### Root Cause
-The `SmartCertManager` class adds the ACME challenge route (port 80) before provisioning each certificate and removes it afterward. When multiple certificates are provisioned:
-1. Each provisioning cycle adds its own challenge route
-2. This triggers `updateRoutes()` which calls `PortManager.updatePorts()`
-3. Port 80 is repeatedly added/removed, causing binding conflicts
+That's it. Simple and powerful.
 
-### Implementation Plan
+---
 
-#### Phase 1: Refactor Challenge Route Lifecycle
-1. **Modify challenge route handling** in `SmartCertManager`
-   - [ ] Add challenge route once during initialization if ACME is configured
-   - [ ] Keep challenge route active throughout entire certificate provisioning
-   - [ ] Remove challenge route only after all certificates are provisioned
-   - [ ] Add concurrency control to prevent multiple simultaneous route updates
+## Phase 1: Minimal Type Changes
 
-#### Phase 2: Update Certificate Provisioning Flow
-2. **Refactor certificate provisioning methods**
-   - [ ] Separate challenge route management from individual certificate provisioning
-   - [ ] Update `provisionAcmeCertificate()` to not add/remove challenge routes
-   - [ ] Modify `provisionAllCertificates()` to handle challenge route lifecycle
-   - [ ] Add error handling for challenge route initialization failures
+### 1.1 Add Socket Handler Action Type
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`
 
-#### Phase 3: Implement Concurrency Controls
-3. **Add synchronization mechanisms**
-   - [ ] Implement mutex/lock for challenge route operations
-   - [ ] Ensure certificate provisioning is properly serialized
-   - [ ] Add safeguards against duplicate challenge routes
-   - [ ] Handle edge cases (shutdown during provisioning, renewal conflicts)
+```typescript
+// Update action type
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block' | 'static' | 'socket-handler';
 
-#### Phase 4: Enhance Error Handling
-4. **Improve error handling and recovery**
-   - [ ] Add specific error types for port conflicts
-   - [ ] Implement retry logic for transient port binding issues
-   - [ ] Add detailed logging for challenge route lifecycle
-   - [ ] Ensure proper cleanup on errors
+// Add simple socket handler type
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: net.Socket) => void | Promise<void>;
 
-#### Phase 5: Create Comprehensive Tests
-5. **Write tests for challenge route management**
-   - [ ] Test concurrent certificate provisioning
-   - [ ] Test challenge route persistence during provisioning
-   - [ ] Test error scenarios (port already in use)
-   - [ ] Test cleanup after provisioning
-   - [ ] Test renewal scenarios with existing challenge routes
+// Extend IRouteAction
+export interface IRouteAction {
+  // ... existing properties
+  
+  // Socket handler function (when type is 'socket-handler')
+  socketHandler?: TSocketHandler;
+}
+```
 
-#### Phase 6: Update Documentation
-6. **Document the new behavior**
-   - [ ] Update certificate management documentation
-   - [ ] Add troubleshooting guide for port conflicts
-   - [ ] Document the challenge route lifecycle
-   - [ ] Include examples of proper ACME configuration
+---
 
-### Technical Details
+## Phase 2: Simple Implementation
 
-#### Specific Code Changes
+### 2.1 Update Route Connection Handler
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts`
 
-1. In `SmartCertManager.initialize()`:
-   ```typescript
-   // Add challenge route once at initialization
-   if (hasAcmeRoutes && this.acmeOptions?.email) {
-     await this.addChallengeRoute();
-   }
-   ```
+In the `handleConnection` method, add handling for socket-handler:
 
-2. Modify `provisionAcmeCertificate()`:
-   ```typescript
-   // Remove these lines:
-   // await this.addChallengeRoute();
-   // await this.removeChallengeRoute();
-   ```
+```typescript
+// After route matching...
+if (matchedRoute) {
+  const action = matchedRoute.action;
+  
+  if (action.type === 'socket-handler') {
+    if (!action.socketHandler) {
+      logger.error('socket-handler action missing socketHandler function');
+      socket.destroy();
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    try {
+      // Simply call the handler with the socket
+      const result = action.socketHandler(socket);
+      
+      // If it returns a promise, handle errors
+      if (result instanceof Promise) {
+        result.catch(error => {
+          logger.error('Socket handler error:', error);
+          if (!socket.destroyed) {
+            socket.destroy();
+          }
+        });
+      }
+    } catch (error) {
+      logger.error('Socket handler error:', error);
+      if (!socket.destroyed) {
+        socket.destroy();
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return; // Done - user has control now
+  }
+  
+  // ... rest of existing action handling
+}
+```
 
-3. Update `stop()` method:
-   ```typescript
-   // Always remove challenge route on shutdown
-   if (this.challengeRoute) {
-     await this.removeChallengeRoute();
-   }
-   ```
+---
 
-4. Add concurrency control:
-   ```typescript
-   private challengeRouteLock = new AsyncLock();
-   
-   private async manageChallengeRoute(operation: 'add' | 'remove'): Promise<void> {
-     await this.challengeRouteLock.acquire('challenge-route', async () => {
-       if (operation === 'add') {
-         await this.addChallengeRoute();
-       } else {
-         await this.removeChallengeRoute();
-       }
-     });
-   }
-   ```
+## Phase 3: Optional Context (If Needed)
 
-### Success Criteria
-- [x] No EADDRINUSE errors when provisioning multiple certificates
-- [x] Challenge route remains active during entire provisioning cycle
-- [x] Port 80 is only bound once per SmartProxy instance
-- [x] Proper cleanup on shutdown or error
-- [x] All tests pass
-- [x] Documentation clearly explains the behavior
+If users need more info, we can optionally pass a minimal context as a second parameter:
 
-### Implementation Summary
+```typescript
+export type TSocketHandler = (
+  socket: net.Socket, 
+  context?: {
+    route: IRouteConfig;
+    clientIp: string;
+    localPort: number;
+  }
+) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
 
-The port 80 EADDRINUSE issue has been successfully fixed through the following changes:
+Usage:
+```typescript
+socketHandler: (socket, context) => {
+  console.log(`Connection from ${context.clientIp} to port ${context.localPort}`);
+  // Handle socket...
+}
+```
 
-1. **Challenge Route Lifecycle**: Modified to add challenge route once during initialization and keep it active throughout certificate provisioning
-2. **Concurrency Control**: Added flags to prevent concurrent provisioning and duplicate challenge route operations
-3. **Error Handling**: Enhanced error messages for port conflicts and proper cleanup on errors
-4. **Tests**: Created comprehensive test suite for challenge route lifecycle scenarios
-5. **Documentation**: Updated certificate management guide with troubleshooting section for port conflicts
+---
 
-The fix ensures that port 80 is only bound once, preventing EADDRINUSE errors during concurrent certificate provisioning operations.
+## Phase 4: Helper Utilities (Optional)
 
-### Timeline
-- Phase 1: 2 hours (Challenge route lifecycle)
-- Phase 2: 1 hour (Provisioning flow)
-- Phase 3: 2 hours (Concurrency controls)
-- Phase 4: 1 hour (Error handling)
-- Phase 5: 2 hours (Testing)
-- Phase 6: 1 hour (Documentation)
+### 4.1 Common Patterns
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`
 
-Total estimated time: 9 hours
+```typescript
+// Simple helper to create socket handler routes
+export function createSocketHandlerRoute(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  ports: TPortRange,
+  handler: TSocketHandler,
+  options?: { name?: string; priority?: number }
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options?.name || 'socket-handler-route',
+    priority: options?.priority || 50,
+    match: { domains, ports },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: handler
+    }
+  };
+}
 
-### Notes
-- This is a critical bug affecting ACME certificate provisioning
-- The fix requires careful handling of concurrent operations
-- Backward compatibility must be maintained
-- Consider impact on renewal operations and edge cases
+// Pre-built handlers for common cases
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // Simple echo server
+  echo: (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    socket.on('data', data => socket.write(data));
+  },
+  
+  // TCP proxy
+  proxy: (targetHost: string, targetPort: number) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    const target = net.connect(targetPort, targetHost);
+    socket.pipe(target);
+    target.pipe(socket);
+    socket.on('close', () => target.destroy());
+    target.on('close', () => socket.destroy());
+  },
+  
+  // Line-based protocol
+  lineProtocol: (handler: (line: string, socket: net.Socket) => void) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    let buffer = '';
+    socket.on('data', (data) => {
+      buffer += data.toString();
+      const lines = buffer.split('\n');
+      buffer = lines.pop() || '';
+      lines.forEach(line => handler(line, socket));
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Custom Protocol
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-protocol',
+  match: { ports: 9000 },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: (socket) => {
+      socket.write('READY\n');
+      socket.on('data', (data) => {
+        const cmd = data.toString().trim();
+        if (cmd === 'PING') socket.write('PONG\n');
+        else if (cmd === 'QUIT') socket.end();
+        else socket.write('ERROR: Unknown command\n');
+      });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Simple TCP Proxy
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'tcp-proxy',
+  match: { ports: 8080, domains: 'proxy.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.proxy('backend.local', 3000)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: WebSocket with Custom Auth
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-websocket',
+  match: { ports: [80, 443], path: '/ws' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: async (socket) => {
+      // Read HTTP headers
+      const headers = await readHttpHeaders(socket);
+      
+      // Custom auth check
+      if (!headers.authorization || !validateToken(headers.authorization)) {
+        socket.write('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\r\n\r\n');
+        socket.end();
+        return;
+      }
+      
+      // Proceed with WebSocket upgrade
+      const ws = new WebSocket(socket, headers);
+      // ... handle WebSocket
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Benefits of This Approach
+
+1. **Dead Simple API**: Just pass a function that gets the socket
+2. **No New Classes**: No ForwardingHandler subclass needed
+3. **Minimal Changes**: Only touches type definitions and one handler method
+4. **Full Power**: Users have complete control over the socket
+5. **Backward Compatible**: No changes to existing functionality
+6. **Easy to Test**: Just test the socket handler functions directly
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `'socket-handler'` to `TRouteActionType` (5 minutes)
+2. Add `socketHandler?: TSocketHandler` to `IRouteAction` (5 minutes)
+3. Add socket-handler case in `RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()` (15 minutes)
+4. Add helper functions (optional, 30 minutes)
+5. Write tests (2 hours)
+6. Update documentation (1 hour)
+
+**Total implementation time: ~4 hours** (vs 6 weeks for the complex version)
+
+---
+
+## What We're NOT Doing
+
+- ❌ Creating new ForwardingHandler classes
+- ❌ Complex context objects with utils
+- ❌ HTTP request handling for socket handlers
+- ❌ Complex protocol detection mechanisms
+- ❌ Middleware patterns
+- ❌ Lifecycle hooks
+
+Keep it simple. The user just wants to handle a socket.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Users can define a route with `type: 'socket-handler'`
+- ✅ Users can provide a function that receives the socket
+- ✅ The function is called when a connection matches the route
+- ✅ Error handling prevents crashes
+- ✅ No performance impact on existing routes
+- ✅ Clean, simple API that's easy to understand
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Notes (Completed)
+
+### What Was Implemented
+1. **Type Definitions** - Added 'socket-handler' to TRouteActionType and TSocketHandler type
+2. **Route Handler** - Added socket-handler case in RouteConnectionHandler switch statement  
+3. **Error Handling** - Both sync and async errors are caught and logged
+4. **Initial Data Handling** - Initial chunks are re-emitted to handler's listeners
+5. **Helper Functions** - Added createSocketHandlerRoute and pre-built handlers (echo, proxy, etc.)
+6. **Full Test Coverage** - All test cases pass including async handlers and error handling
+
+### Key Implementation Details
+- Socket handlers require initial data from client to trigger routing (not TLS handshake)
+- The handler receives the raw socket after route matching
+- Both sync and async handlers are supported  
+- Errors in handlers terminate the connection gracefully
+- Helper utilities provide common patterns (echo server, TCP proxy, line protocol)
+
+### Usage Notes
+- Clients must send initial data to trigger the handler (even just a newline)
+- The socket is passed directly to the handler function
+- Handler has complete control over the socket lifecycle
+- No special context object needed - keeps it simple

+# SmartProxy Simplification Plan: Unify Action Types
+
+## Summary
+Complete removal of 'redirect', 'block', and 'static' action types, leaving only 'forward' and 'socket-handler'. All old code will be deleted entirely - no migration paths or backwards compatibility. Socket handlers will be enhanced to receive IRouteContext as a second parameter.
+
+## Goal
+Create a dramatically simpler SmartProxy with only two action types, where everything is either proxied (forward) or handled by custom code (socket-handler).
+
+## Current State
+```typescript
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block' | 'static' | 'socket-handler';
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+## Target State
+```typescript
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'socket-handler';
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+## Benefits
+1. **Simpler API** - Only two action types to understand
+2. **Unified handling** - Everything is either forwarding or custom socket handling
+3. **More flexible** - Socket handlers can do anything the old types did and more
+4. **Less code** - Remove specialized handlers and their dependencies
+5. **Context aware** - Socket handlers get access to route context (domain, port, clientIp, etc.)
+6. **Clean codebase** - No legacy code or migration paths
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Code to Remove
+
+### 1.1 Action Type Handlers
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleRedirectAction()`
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleBlockAction()`
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleStaticAction()`
+
+### 1.2 Handler Classes
+- `RedirectHandler` class (http-proxy/handlers/)
+- `StaticHandler` class (http-proxy/handlers/)
+
+### 1.3 Type Definitions
+- 'redirect', 'block', 'static' from TRouteActionType
+- IRouteRedirect interface
+- IRouteStatic interface
+- Related properties in IRouteAction
+
+### 1.4 Helper Functions
+- `createStaticFileRoute()`
+- Any other helpers that create redirect/block/static routes
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Create Predefined Socket Handlers
+
+### 2.1 Block Handler
+```typescript
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // ... existing handlers
+  
+  /**
+   * Block connection immediately
+   */
+  block: (message?: string) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    // Can use context for logging or custom messages
+    const finalMessage = message || `Connection blocked from ${context.clientIp}`;
+    if (finalMessage) {
+      socket.write(finalMessage);
+    }
+    socket.end();
+  },
+  
+  /**
+   * HTTP block response
+   */
+  httpBlock: (statusCode: number = 403, message?: string) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    // Can customize message based on context
+    const defaultMessage = `Access forbidden for ${context.domain || context.clientIp}`;
+    const finalMessage = message || defaultMessage;
+    
+    const response = [
+      `HTTP/1.1 ${statusCode} ${finalMessage}`,
+      'Content-Type: text/plain',
+      `Content-Length: ${finalMessage.length}`,
+      'Connection: close',
+      '',
+      finalMessage
+    ].join('\r\n');
+    
+    socket.write(response);
+    socket.end();
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2.2 Redirect Handler
+```typescript
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // ... existing handlers
+  
+  /**
+   * HTTP redirect handler
+   */
+  httpRedirect: (locationTemplate: string, statusCode: number = 301) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    let buffer = '';
+    
+    socket.once('data', (data) => {
+      buffer += data.toString();
+      
+      // Parse HTTP request
+      const lines = buffer.split('\r\n');
+      const requestLine = lines[0];
+      const [method, path] = requestLine.split(' ');
+      
+      // Use domain from context (more reliable than Host header)
+      const domain = context.domain || 'localhost';
+      const port = context.port;
+      
+      // Replace placeholders in location using context
+      let finalLocation = locationTemplate
+        .replace('{domain}', domain)
+        .replace('{port}', String(port))
+        .replace('{path}', path)
+        .replace('{clientIp}', context.clientIp);
+      
+      const message = `Redirecting to ${finalLocation}`;
+      const response = [
+        `HTTP/1.1 ${statusCode} ${statusCode === 301 ? 'Moved Permanently' : 'Found'}`,
+        `Location: ${finalLocation}`,
+        'Content-Type: text/plain',
+        `Content-Length: ${message.length}`,
+        'Connection: close',
+        '',
+        message
+      ].join('\r\n');
+      
+      socket.write(response);
+      socket.end();
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2.3 Benefits of Context in Socket Handlers
+With routeContext as a second parameter, socket handlers can:
+- Access client IP for logging or rate limiting
+- Use domain information for multi-tenant handling
+- Check if connection is TLS and what version
+- Access route name/ID for metrics
+- Build more intelligent responses based on context
+
+Example advanced handler:
+```typescript
+const rateLimitHandler = (maxRequests: number) => {
+  const ipCounts = new Map<string, number>();
+  
+  return (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    const count = (ipCounts.get(context.clientIp) || 0) + 1;
+    ipCounts.set(context.clientIp, count);
+    
+    if (count > maxRequests) {
+      socket.write(`Rate limit exceeded for ${context.clientIp}\n`);
+      socket.end();
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // Process request...
+  };
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Update Helper Functions
+
+### 3.1 Update createHttpToHttpsRedirect
+```typescript
+export function createHttpToHttpsRedirect(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  httpsPort: number = 443,
+  options: Partial<IRouteConfig> = {}
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options.name || `HTTP to HTTPS Redirect for ${Array.isArray(domains) ? domains.join(', ') : domains}`,
+    match: {
+      ports: options.match?.ports || 80,
+      domains
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect(`https://{domain}:${httpsPort}{path}`, 301)
+    },
+    ...options
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Update createSocketHandlerRoute
+```typescript
+export function createSocketHandlerRoute(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  ports: TPortRange,
+  handler: TSocketHandler,
+  options: { name?: string; priority?: number; path?: string } = {}
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options.name || 'socket-handler-route',
+    priority: options.priority !== undefined ? options.priority : 50,
+    match: {
+      domains,
+      ports,
+      ...(options.path && { path: options.path })
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: handler
+    }
+  };
+}
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Core Implementation Changes
+
+### 4.1 Update Route Connection Handler
+```typescript
+// Remove these methods:
+// - handleRedirectAction()
+// - handleBlockAction()  
+// - handleStaticAction()
+
+// Update switch statement to only have:
+switch (route.action.type) {
+  case 'forward':
+    return this.handleForwardAction(socket, record, route, initialChunk);
+    
+  case 'socket-handler':
+    this.handleSocketHandlerAction(socket, record, route, initialChunk);
+    return;
+    
+  default:
+    logger.log('error', `Unknown action type '${(route.action as any).type}'`);
+    socket.end();
+    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'unknown_action');
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 Update Socket Handler to Pass Context
+```typescript
+private async handleSocketHandlerAction(
+  socket: plugins.net.Socket,
+  record: IConnectionRecord,
+  route: IRouteConfig,
+  initialChunk?: Buffer
+): Promise<void> {
+  const connectionId = record.id;
+  
+  // Create route context for the handler
+  const routeContext = this.createRouteContext({
+    connectionId: record.id,
+    port: record.localPort,
+    domain: record.lockedDomain,
+    clientIp: record.remoteIP,
+    serverIp: socket.localAddress || '',
+    isTls: record.isTLS || false,
+    tlsVersion: record.tlsVersion,
+    routeName: route.name,
+    routeId: route.id,
+  });
+  
+  try {
+    // Call the handler with socket AND context
+    const result = route.action.socketHandler(socket, routeContext);
+    
+    // Rest of implementation stays the same...
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Error handling...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Clean Up Imports and Exports
+- Remove imports of deleted handler classes
+- Update index.ts files to remove exports
+- Clean up any unused imports
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Test Updates
+
+### 5.1 Remove Old Tests
+- Delete tests for redirect action type
+- Delete tests for block action type
+- Delete tests for static action type
+
+### 5.2 Add New Socket Handler Tests
+- Test block socket handler with context
+- Test HTTP redirect socket handler with context
+- Test that context is properly passed to all handlers
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Documentation Updates
+
+### 6.1 Update README.md
+- Remove documentation for redirect, block, static action types
+- Document the two remaining action types: forward and socket-handler
+- Add examples using socket handlers with context
+
+### 6.2 Update Type Documentation
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Route action types
+ * - 'forward': Proxy the connection to a target host:port
+ * - 'socket-handler': Pass the socket to a custom handler function
+ */
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'socket-handler';
+
+/**
+ * Socket handler function
+ * @param socket - The incoming socket connection
+ * @param context - Route context with connection information
+ */
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+### 6.3 Example Documentation
+```typescript
+// Example: Block connections from specific IPs
+const ipBlocker = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+  if (context.clientIp.startsWith('192.168.')) {
+    socket.write('Internal IPs not allowed\n');
+    socket.end();
+    return;
+  }
+  // Forward to backend...
+};
+
+// Example: Domain-based routing
+const domainRouter = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+  const backend = context.domain === 'api.example.com' ? 'api-server' : 'web-server';
+  // Forward to appropriate backend...
+};
+```
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## Considerations
+
+### Benefits
+- **Dramatically simpler API** - Only 2 action types instead of 5
+- **Consistent handling model** - Everything is either forwarding or custom handling
+- **More powerful** - Socket handlers with context can do much more than old static types
+- **Less code to maintain** - Removing hundreds of lines of specialized handler code
+- **Better extensibility** - Easy to add new socket handlers for any use case
+- **Context awareness** - All handlers get full connection context
+
+### Trade-offs
+- Static file serving removed (users should use nginx/apache behind proxy)
+- HTTP-specific logic (redirects) now in socket handlers (but more flexible)
+- Slightly more verbose configuration for simple blocks/redirects
+
+### Why This Approach
+1. **Simplicity wins** - Two concepts are easier to understand than five
+2. **Power through context** - Socket handlers with context are more capable
+3. **Clean break** - No migration paths means cleaner code
+4. **Future proof** - Easy to add new handlers without changing core
+
+---
+
+## Code Examples: Before and After
+
+### Block Action
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+{
+  action: { type: 'block' }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.block()
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### HTTP Redirect
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'redirect',
+    redirect: {
+      to: 'https://{domain}:443{path}',
+      status: 301
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect('https://{domain}:443{path}', 301)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Handler with Context
+```typescript
+// NEW CAPABILITY - Access to full context
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: (socket, context) => {
+      console.log(`Connection from ${context.clientIp} to ${context.domain}:${context.port}`);
+      // Custom handling based on context...
+    }

+      socket.write(response);
+      socket.end();
+    });
+  }
+  ```
+- [x] Save file
+
+### Step 9: Update Helper Functions (20 minutes)
+- [x] Still in `route-helpers.ts`
+- [x] Update `createHttpToHttpsRedirect` function (around line 109):
+  - Change the action to use socket handler:
+  ```typescript
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect(`https://{domain}:${httpsPort}{path}`, 301)
+  }
+  ```
+- [x] Delete entire `createStaticFileRoute` function (lines 277-322)
+- [x] Save file
+
+### Step 10: Update Test Files (1.5 hours)
+#### 10.1 Update Socket Handler Tests
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler.ts`
+- [x] Update all handler functions to accept context parameter
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler.simple.ts`
+- [x] Update handler to accept context parameter
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler-race.ts`
+- [x] Update handler to accept context parameter
+
+#### 10.2 Find and Update/Delete Redirect Tests
+- [x] Search for files containing `type: 'redirect'` in test directory
+- [x] For each file:
+  - [x] If it's a redirect-specific test, delete the file
+  - [x] If it's a mixed test, update redirect actions to use socket handlers
+- [x] Files to check:
+  - [x] `test/test.route-redirects.ts` - deleted entire file

+# SmartProxy Module Problems
+
+Based on test analysis, the following potential issues have been identified in the SmartProxy module:
+
+## 1. HttpProxy Route Configuration Issue
+**Location**: `ts/proxies/http-proxy/http-proxy.ts:380`
+**Problem**: The HttpProxy is trying to read the 'type' property of an undefined object when updating route configurations.
+**Evidence**: `test.http-forwarding-fix.ts` fails with:
+```
+TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type')
+    at HttpProxy.updateRouteConfigs (/mnt/data/lossless/push.rocks/smartproxy/ts/proxies/http-proxy/http-proxy.ts:380:24)
+```
+**Impact**: Routes with `useHttpProxy` configuration may not work properly.
+
+## 2. Connection Forwarding Issues
+**Problem**: Basic TCP forwarding appears to not be working correctly after the simplification to just 'forward' and 'socket-handler' action types.
+**Evidence**: Multiple forwarding tests timeout waiting for data to be forwarded:
+- `test.forwarding-fix-verification.ts` - times out waiting for forwarded data
+- `test.connection-forwarding.ts` - times out on SNI-based forwarding
+**Impact**: The 'forward' action type may not be properly forwarding connections to target servers.
+
+## 3. Missing Certificate Manager Methods
+**Problem**: Tests expect `provisionAllCertificates` method on certificate manager but it may not exist or may not be properly initialized.
+**Evidence**: Multiple tests fail with "this.certManager.provisionAllCertificates is not a function"
+**Impact**: Certificate provisioning may not work as expected.
+
+## 4. Route Update Mechanism
+**Problem**: The route update mechanism may have issues preserving certificate manager callbacks and other state.
+**Evidence**: Tests specifically designed to verify callback preservation after route updates.
+**Impact**: Dynamic route updates might break certificate management functionality.
+
+## 5. Route-Specific Security Not Fully Implemented
+**Problem**: While the route definitions support security configurations (ipAllowList, ipBlockList, authentication), these are not being enforced at the route level.
+**Evidence**: 
+- SecurityManager has methods like `isIPAuthorized` for route-specific security
+- Route connection handler only checks global IP validation, not route-specific security rules
+- No evidence of route.action.security being checked when handling connections
+**Impact**: Route-specific security rules defined in configuration are not enforced, potentially allowing unauthorized access.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Route-specific IP allow/block lists are now enforced when a route is matched. Authentication is logged as not enforceable for non-terminated connections.
+**Additional Fix**: Removed security checks from route matching logic - security is now properly enforced AFTER a route is matched, not during matching.
+
+## 6. Security Property Location Consolidation
+**Problem**: Security was defined in two places - route.security and route.action.security - causing confusion.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Consolidated to only route.security. Removed action.security from types and updated all references.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Verify Forward Action Implementation**: Check that the 'forward' action type properly establishes bidirectional data flow between client and target server. ✅ FIXED - Basic forwarding now works correctly.
+
+2. **Fix HttpProxy Route Handling**: Ensure that route objects passed to HttpProxy.updateRouteConfigs have the expected structure with all required properties. ✅ FIXED - Routes now preserve their structure.
+
+3. **Review Certificate Manager API**: Ensure all expected methods exist and are properly documented.
+
+4. **Add Integration Tests**: Many unit tests are testing internal implementation details. Consider adding more integration tests that test the public API.
+
+5. **Implement Route-Specific Security**: Add security checks when a route is matched to enforce route-specific IP allow/block lists and authentication rules. ✅ FIXED - IP allow/block lists are now enforced at the route level.
+
+6. **Fix TLS Detection Logic**: The connection handler was treating all connections as TLS. This has been partially fixed but needs proper testing for all TLS modes.
+
+## 7. HTTP Domain Matching Issue
+**Problem**: Routes with domain restrictions fail to match HTTP connections because domain information is only available after HTTP headers are received, but route matching happens immediately upon connection.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.http-port8080-forwarding.ts` - "No route found for connection on port 8080" despite having a matching route
+- HTTP connections provide domain info via the Host header, which arrives after the initial TCP connection
+- Route matching in `handleInitialData` happens before HTTP headers are parsed
+**Impact**: HTTP routes with domain restrictions cannot be matched, forcing users to remove domain restrictions for HTTP routes.
+**Root Cause**: For non-TLS connections, SmartProxy attempts to match routes immediately, but the domain information needed for matching is only available after parsing HTTP headers.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Added skipDomainCheck parameter to route matching for HTTP proxy ports. When a port is configured with useHttpProxy and the connection is not TLS, domain validation is skipped at the initial route matching stage, allowing the HttpProxy to handle domain-based routing after headers are received.
+
+## 8. HttpProxy Plain HTTP Forwarding Issue
+**Problem**: HttpProxy is an HTTPS server but SmartProxy forwards plain HTTP connections to it via `useHttpProxy` configuration.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.http-port8080-forwarding.ts` - Connection immediately closed after forwarding to HttpProxy
+- HttpProxy is created with `http2.createSecureServer` expecting TLS connections
+- SmartProxy forwards raw HTTP data to HttpProxy's HTTPS port
+**Impact**: Plain HTTP connections cannot be handled by HttpProxy, despite `useHttpProxy` configuration suggesting this should work.
+**Root Cause**: Design mismatch - HttpProxy is designed for HTTPS/TLS termination, not plain HTTP forwarding.
+**Status**: Documented. The `useHttpProxy` configuration should only be used for ports that receive TLS connections requiring termination. For plain HTTP forwarding, use direct forwarding without HttpProxy.
+
+## 9. Route Security Configuration Location Issue
+**Problem**: Tests were placing security configuration in `route.action.security` instead of `route.security`.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.route-security.ts` - IP block list test failing because security was in wrong location
+- IRouteConfig interface defines security at route level, not inside action
+**Impact**: Security rules defined in action.security were ignored, causing tests to fail.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Updated tests to place security configuration at the correct location (route.security).

-# ACME/Certificate Simplification Summary
-
-## What Was Done
-
-We successfully implemented the ACME/Certificate simplification plan for SmartProxy:
-
-### 1. Created New Certificate Management System
-
-- **SmartCertManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/certificate-manager.ts`): A unified certificate manager that handles both ACME and static certificates
-- **CertStore** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts`): File-based certificate storage system
-
-### 2. Updated Route Types
-
-- Added `IRouteAcme` interface for ACME configuration
-- Added `IStaticResponse` interface for static route responses
-- Extended `IRouteTls` with comprehensive certificate options
-- Added `handler` property to `IRouteAction` for static routes
-
-### 3. Implemented Static Route Handler
-
-- Added `handleStaticAction` method to route-connection-handler.ts
-- Added support for 'static' route type in the action switch statement
-- Implemented proper HTTP response formatting
-
-### 4. Updated SmartProxy Integration
-
-- Removed old CertProvisioner and Port80Handler dependencies
-- Added `initializeCertificateManager` method
-- Updated `start` and `stop` methods to use new certificate manager
-- Added `provisionCertificate`, `renewCertificate`, and `getCertificateStatus` methods
-
-### 5. Simplified NetworkProxyBridge
-
-- Removed all certificate-related logic
-- Simplified to only handle network proxy forwarding
-- Updated to use port-based matching for network proxy routes
-
-### 6. Cleaned Up HTTP Module
-
-- Removed exports for port80 subdirectory
-- Kept only router and redirect functionality
-
-### 7. Created Tests
-
-- Created simplified test for certificate functionality
-- Test demonstrates static route handling and basic certificate configuration
-
-## Key Improvements
-
-1. **No Backward Compatibility**: Clean break from legacy implementations
-2. **Direct SmartAcme Integration**: Uses @push.rocks/smartacme directly without custom wrappers
-3. **Route-Based ACME Challenges**: No separate HTTP server needed
-4. **Simplified Architecture**: Removed unnecessary abstraction layers
-5. **Unified Configuration**: Certificate configuration is part of route definitions
-
-## Configuration Example
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    name: 'secure-site',
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto',
-        acme: {
-          email: 'admin@example.com',
-          useProduction: true
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-});
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Remove old certificate module and port80 directory
-2. Update documentation with new configuration format
-3. Test with real ACME certificates in staging environment
-4. Add more comprehensive tests for renewal and edge cases
-
-The implementation is complete and builds successfully!

-# NFTables Naming Consolidation Summary
-
-This document summarizes the changes made to consolidate the naming convention for IP allow/block lists in the NFTables integration.
-
-## Changes Made
-
-1. **Updated NFTablesProxy interface** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/models/interfaces.ts`):
-   - Changed `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Changed `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-2. **Updated NFTablesProxy implementation** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`):
-   - Updated all references from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Updated all references from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-3. **Updated NFTablesManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/nftables-manager.ts`):
-   - Changed mapping from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Changed mapping from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-## Files Already Using Consistent Naming
-
-The following files already used the consistent naming convention `ipAllowList` and `ipBlockList`:
-
-1. **Route helpers** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`)
-2. **Integration test** (`test/test.nftables-integration.ts`)
-3. **NFTables example** (`examples/nftables-integration.ts`)
-4. **Route types** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`)
-
-## Result
-
-The naming is now consistent throughout the codebase:
-- `ipAllowList` is used for lists of allowed IP addresses
-- `ipBlockList` is used for lists of blocked IP addresses
-
-This matches the naming convention already established in SmartProxy's core routing system.
