 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.3 - fix(smartproxy)
+Fix route security configuration location and improve ACME timing tests and socket mock implementations
+
+- Move route security from action.security to the top-level route.security to correctly enforce IP allow/block lists (addresses failing in test.route-security.ts)
+- Update readme.problems.md to document the routing security configuration issue with proper instructions
+- Adjust certificate metadata in certs/static-route/meta.json with updated timestamps
+- Update test.acme-timing.ts to export default tap.start() instead of tap.start() to ensure proper parsing
+- Improve socket simulation and event handling mocks in test.http-fix-verification.ts and test.http-forwarding-fix.ts to more reliably mimic net.Socket behavior
+- Minor adjustments in multiple test files to ensure proper port binding, race condition handling and route lookups (e.g. getRoutesForPort implementation)
+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.2 - fix(test)
+Fix ACME challenge route creation and HTTP request parsing in tests
+
+- Replaced the legacy ACME email 'test@example.com' with 'test@acmetest.local' to avoid forbidden domain issues.
+- Mocked the CertificateManager in test/test.acme-route-creation to simulate immediate ACME challenge route addition.
+- Adjusted updateRoutes callback to capture and verify challenge route creation.
+- Enhanced the HTTP request parsing in socket handler by capturing and asserting parsed request details (method, path, headers).
+
 ## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.1 - fix(socket-handler)
 Fix socket handler race condition by differentiating between async and sync handlers. Now, async socket handlers complete their setup before initial data is emitted, ensuring that no data is lost. Documentation and tests have been updated to reflect this change.

 - Test: `pnpm test` (runs `tstest test/`).
 - Format: `pnpm format` (runs `gitzone format`).
 
-## 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');
+```
+
+### Test Modifiers
+- `tap.only.test()` - Run only this test
+- `tap.skip.test()` - Skip a test
+- `tap.timeout()` - Set test-specific timeout
+
+### Running Tests
+- All tests: `pnpm test`
+- Specific test: `tsx test/test.router.ts`
+- With options: `tstest test/**/*.ts --verbose --timeout 60`
+
+### Test File Requirements
+- Must start with `test.` prefix
+- Must use `.ts` extension
+- Must call `tap.start()` at the end

+
+## 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 Coverage
+- `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 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).
