feat(protocols): refactor protocol utilities into centralized protocols module

- Created ts/detection module for unified protocol detection
- Implemented TLS and HTTP detectors with fragmentation support
- Moved TLS detection logic from existing code to centralized module
- Updated RouteConnectionHandler to use ProtocolDetector for both TLS and HTTP
- Refactored ACME HTTP parsing to use detection module
- Added comprehensive tests for detection functionality
- Eliminated duplicate protocol detection code across codebase

This centralizes all non-destructive protocol detection into a single module,
improving code organization and reducing duplication between ACME and routing.

+# SmartProxy Byte Counting Audit Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After a comprehensive audit of the SmartProxy codebase, I can confirm that **byte counting is implemented correctly** with no instances of double counting. Each byte transferred through the proxy is counted exactly once in each direction.
+
+## Byte Counting Implementation
+
+### 1. Core Tracking Mechanisms
+
+SmartProxy uses two complementary tracking systems:
+
+1. **Connection Records** (`IConnectionRecord`):
+   - `bytesReceived`: Total bytes received from client
+   - `bytesSent`: Total bytes sent to client
+
+2. **MetricsCollector**:
+   - Global throughput tracking via `ThroughputTracker`
+   - Per-connection byte tracking for route/IP metrics
+   - Called via `recordBytes(connectionId, bytesIn, bytesOut)`
+
+### 2. Where Bytes Are Counted
+
+Bytes are counted in only two files:
+
+#### a) `route-connection-handler.ts`
+- **Line 351**: TLS alert bytes when no SNI is provided
+- **Lines 1286-1301**: Data forwarding callbacks in `setupBidirectionalForwarding()`
+
+#### b) `http-proxy-bridge.ts`  
+- **Line 127**: Initial TLS chunk for HttpProxy connections
+- **Lines 142-154**: Data forwarding callbacks in `setupBidirectionalForwarding()`
+
+## Connection Flow Analysis
+
+### 1. Direct TCP Connection (No TLS)
+
+```
+Client → SmartProxy → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection arrives at `RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()`
+2. For non-TLS ports, immediately routes via `routeConnection()`
+3. `setupDirectConnection()` creates target connection
+4. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` handles all data transfer:
+   - `onClientData`: `bytesReceived += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(chunk.length, 0)`
+   - `onServerData`: `bytesSent += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(0, chunk.length)`
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 2. TLS Passthrough Connection
+
+```
+Client (TLS) → SmartProxy → Target Server (TLS)
+```
+
+1. Connection waits for initial data to detect TLS
+2. TLS handshake detected, SNI extracted
+3. Route matched, `setupDirectConnection()` called
+4. Initial chunk stored in `pendingData` (NOT counted yet)
+5. On target connect, `pendingData` written to target (still not counted)
+6. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` counts ALL bytes including initial chunk
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 3. TLS Termination via HttpProxy
+
+```
+Client (TLS) → SmartProxy → HttpProxy (localhost) → Target Server
+```
+
+1. TLS connection detected with `tls.mode = "terminate"`
+2. `forwardToHttpProxy()` called:
+   - Initial chunk: `bytesReceived += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(chunk.length, 0)`
+3. Proxy connection created to HttpProxy on localhost
+4. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` handles subsequent data
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 4. HTTP Connection via HttpProxy
+
+```
+Client (HTTP) → SmartProxy → HttpProxy (localhost) → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection on configured HTTP port (`useHttpProxy` ports)
+2. Same flow as TLS termination
+3. All byte counting identical to TLS termination
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 5. NFTables Forwarding
+
+```
+Client → [Kernel NFTables] → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection detected, route matched with `forwardingEngine: 'nftables'`
+2. Connection marked as `usingNetworkProxy = true`
+3. NO application-level forwarding (kernel handles packet routing)
+4. NO byte counting in application layer
+
+**Result**: ✅ No counting (correct - kernel handles everything)
+
+## Special Cases
+
+### PROXY Protocol
+- PROXY protocol headers sent to backend servers are NOT counted in client metrics
+- Only actual client data is counted
+- **Correct behavior**: Protocol overhead is not client data
+
+### TLS Alerts
+- TLS alerts (e.g., for missing SNI) are counted as sent bytes
+- **Correct behavior**: Alerts are actual data sent to the client
+
+### Initial Chunks
+- **Direct connections**: Stored in `pendingData`, counted when forwarded
+- **HttpProxy connections**: Counted immediately upon receipt
+- **Both approaches**: Count each byte exactly once
+
+## Verification Methodology
+
+1. **Code Analysis**: Searched for all instances of:
+   - `bytesReceived +=` and `bytesSent +=`
+   - `recordBytes()` calls
+   - Data forwarding implementations
+
+2. **Flow Tracing**: Followed data path for each connection type from entry to exit
+
+3. **Handler Review**: Examined all forwarding handlers to ensure no additional counting
+
+## Findings
+
+### ✅ No Double Counting Detected
+
+- Each byte is counted exactly once in the direction it flows
+- Connection records and metrics are updated consistently
+- No overlapping or duplicate counting logic found
+
+### Areas of Excellence
+
+1. **Centralized Counting**: All byte counting happens in just two files
+2. **Consistent Pattern**: Uses `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` with callbacks
+3. **Clear Separation**: Forwarding handlers don't interfere with proxy metrics
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Debug Logging**: Add optional debug logging to verify byte counts in production:
+   ```typescript
+   if (settings.debugByteCount) {
+     logger.log('debug', `Bytes counted: ${connectionId} +${bytes} (total: ${record.bytesReceived})`);
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Unit Tests**: Create specific tests to ensure byte counting accuracy:
+   - Test initial chunk handling
+   - Test PROXY protocol overhead exclusion
+   - Test HttpProxy forwarding accuracy
+
+3. **Protocol Overhead Tracking**: Consider separately tracking:
+   - PROXY protocol headers
+   - TLS handshake bytes
+   - HTTP headers vs body
+
+4. **NFTables Documentation**: Clearly document that NFTables-forwarded connections are not included in application metrics
+
+## Conclusion
+
+SmartProxy's byte counting implementation is **robust and accurate**. The design ensures that each byte is counted exactly once, with clear separation between connection tracking and metrics collection. No remediation is required.

+# SmartProxy Enhanced Routing Plan
+
+## Goal
+Implement enhanced routing structure with multiple targets per route, sub-matching capabilities, and target-specific overrides to enable more elegant and DRY configurations.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### 1. Update Route Target Interface
+- Add `match` property to `IRouteTarget` for sub-matching within routes
+- Add target-specific override properties (tls, websocket, loadBalancing, etc.)
+- Add priority field for controlling match order
+
+### 2. Update Route Action Interface
+- Remove singular `target` property
+- Use only `targets` array (single target = array with one element)
+- Maintain backwards compatibility during migration
+
+### 3. Implementation Steps
+
+#### Phase 1: Type Updates
+- [x] Update `IRouteTarget` interface in `route-types.ts`
+  - Add `match?: ITargetMatch` property
+  - Add override properties (tls, websocket, etc.)
+  - Add `priority?: number` field
+- [x] Create `ITargetMatch` interface for sub-matching criteria
+- [x] Update `IRouteAction` to use only `targets: IRouteTarget[]`
+
+#### Phase 2: Route Resolution Logic
+- [x] Update route matching logic to handle multiple targets
+- [x] Implement target sub-matching algorithm:
+  1. Sort targets by priority (highest first)
+  2. For each target with a match property, check if request matches
+  3. Use first matching target, or fallback to target without match
+- [x] Ensure target-specific settings override route-level settings
+
+#### Phase 3: Code Migration
+- [x] Find all occurrences of `action.target` and update to use `action.targets`
+- [x] Update route helpers and utilities
+- [x] Update certificate manager to handle multiple targets
+- [x] Update connection handlers
+
+#### Phase 4: Testing
+- [x] Update existing tests to use new format
+- [ ] Add tests for multi-target scenarios
+- [ ] Add tests for sub-matching logic
+- [ ] Add tests for setting overrides
+
+#### Phase 5: Documentation
+- [ ] Update type documentation
+- [ ] Add examples of new routing patterns
+- [ ] Document migration path for existing configs
+
+## Example Configurations
+
+### Before (Current)
+```typescript
+// Need separate routes for different ports/paths
+[
+  {
+    match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [80] },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8080 },
+      tls: { mode: 'terminate' }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [443] },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8081 },
+      tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### After (Enhanced)
+```typescript
+// Single route with multiple targets
+{
+  match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [80, 443] },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    targets: [
+      {
+        match: { ports: [80] },
+        host: 'backend',
+        port: 8080,
+        tls: { mode: 'terminate' }
+      },
+      {
+        match: { ports: [443] },
+        host: 'backend',
+        port: 8081,
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Example
+```typescript
+{
+  match: { domains: ['app.example.com'], ports: [443] },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    tls: { mode: 'terminate', certificate: 'auto' }, // Route-level default
+    websocket: { enabled: true }, // Route-level default
+    targets: [
+      {
+        match: { path: '/api/v2/*' },
+        host: 'api-v2',
+        port: 8082,
+        priority: 10
+      },
+      {
+        match: { path: '/api/*', headers: { 'X-Version': 'v1' } },
+        host: 'api-v1',
+        port: 8081,
+        priority: 5
+      },
+      {
+        match: { path: '/ws/*' },
+        host: 'websocket-server',
+        port: 8090,
+        websocket: { 
+          enabled: true,
+          rewritePath: '/'  // Strip /ws prefix
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        // Default target (no match property)
+        host: 'web-backend',
+        port: 8080
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+1. **DRY Configuration**: No need to duplicate common settings across routes
+2. **Flexibility**: Different backends for different ports/paths within same domain
+3. **Clarity**: All routing for a domain in one place
+4. **Performance**: Single route lookup instead of multiple
+5. **Backwards Compatible**: Can migrate gradually
+
+## Migration Strategy
+1. Keep support for `target` temporarily with deprecation warning
+2. Auto-convert `target` to `targets: [target]` internally
+3. Update documentation with migration examples
+4. Remove `target` support in next major version

-# SmartProxy Performance Issues Report
-
-## Executive Summary
-This report identifies performance issues and blocking operations in the SmartProxy codebase that could impact scalability and responsiveness under high load.
-
-## Critical Issues
-
-### 1. **Synchronous Filesystem Operations**
-These operations block the event loop and should be replaced with async alternatives:
-
-#### Certificate Management
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:29`: `fs.existsSync()` 
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:30`: `fs.mkdirSync()`
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:49-50`: `fs.readFileSync()` for loading certificates
-
-#### NFTables Proxy
-- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple uses of `execSync()` for system commands
-- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple `fs.writeFileSync()` and `fs.unlinkSync()` operations
-
-#### Certificate Store
-- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:8`: `ensureDirSync()`
-- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:15,31,76`: `fileExistsSync()`
-- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:77`: `removeManySync()`
-
-### 2. **Event Loop Blocking Operations**
-
-#### Busy Wait Loop
-- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`: 
-  ```typescript
-  const waitUntil = Date.now() + retryDelayMs;
-  while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {
-    // busy wait - blocks event loop completely
-  }
-  ```
-  This is extremely problematic as it blocks the entire Node.js event loop.
-
-### 3. **Potential Memory Leaks**
-
-#### Timer Management Issues
-Several timers are created without proper cleanup:
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts`: `setInterval()` without storing reference for cleanup
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/request-handler.ts`: `setInterval()` for rate limit cleanup without cleanup
-- `ts/core/utils/shared-security-manager.ts`: `cleanupInterval` stored but no cleanup method
-
-#### Event Listener Accumulation
-- Multiple instances of event listeners being added without corresponding cleanup
-- Connection handlers add listeners without always removing them on connection close
-
-### 4. **Connection Pool Management**
-
-#### ConnectionPool (ts/proxies/http-proxy/connection-pool.ts)
-**Good practices observed:**
-- Proper connection lifecycle management
-- Periodic cleanup of idle connections
-- Connection limits enforcement
-
-**Potential issues:**
-- No backpressure mechanism when pool is full
-- Synchronous sorting operation in `cleanupConnectionPool()` could be slow with many connections
-
-### 5. **Resource Management Issues**
-
-#### Socket Cleanup
-- Some error paths don't properly clean up sockets
-- Missing `removeAllListeners()` in some error scenarios could lead to memory leaks
-
-#### Timeout Management
-- Inconsistent timeout handling across different components
-- Some sockets created without timeout settings
-
-### 6. **JSON Operations on Large Objects**
-- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:21`: `JSON.parse()` on certificate metadata
-- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:71`: `JSON.stringify()` with pretty printing
-- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts:76`: `JSON.stringify()` for cache keys (called frequently)
-
-## Recommendations
-
-### Immediate Actions (High Priority)
-
-1. **Replace Synchronous Operations**
-   ```typescript
-   // Instead of:
-   if (fs.existsSync(path)) { ... }
-   
-   // Use:
-   try {
-     await fs.promises.access(path);
-     // file exists
-   } catch {
-     // file doesn't exist
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. **Fix Busy Wait Loop**
-   ```typescript
-   // Instead of:
-   while (Date.now() < waitUntil) { }
-   
-   // Use:
-   await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, retryDelayMs));
-   ```
-
-3. **Add Timer Cleanup**
-   ```typescript
-   class Component {
-     private cleanupTimer?: NodeJS.Timeout;
-     
-     start() {
-       this.cleanupTimer = setInterval(() => { ... }, 60000);
-     }
-     
-     stop() {
-       if (this.cleanupTimer) {
-         clearInterval(this.cleanupTimer);
-         this.cleanupTimer = undefined;
-       }
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-
-### Medium Priority
-
-1. **Optimize JSON Operations**
-   - Cache JSON.stringify results for frequently used objects
-   - Consider using faster hashing for cache keys (e.g., crypto.createHash)
-   - Use streaming JSON parsers for large objects
-
-2. **Improve Connection Pool**
-   - Implement backpressure/queueing when pool is full
-   - Use a heap or priority queue for connection management instead of sorting
-
-3. **Standardize Resource Cleanup**
-   - Create a base class for components with lifecycle management
-   - Ensure all event listeners are removed on cleanup
-   - Add abort controllers for better cancellation support
-
-### Long-term Improvements
-
-1. **Worker Threads**
-   - Move CPU-intensive operations to worker threads
-   - Consider using worker pools for NFTables operations
-
-2. **Monitoring and Metrics**
-   - Add performance monitoring for event loop lag
-   - Track connection pool utilization
-   - Monitor memory usage patterns
-
-3. **Graceful Degradation**
-   - Implement circuit breakers for backend connections
-   - Add request queuing with overflow protection
-   - Implement adaptive timeout strategies
-
-## Impact Assessment
-
-These issues primarily affect:
-- **Scalability**: Blocking operations limit concurrent connection handling
-- **Responsiveness**: Event loop blocking causes latency spikes
-- **Stability**: Memory leaks could cause crashes under sustained load
-- **Resource Usage**: Inefficient resource management increases memory/CPU usage
-
-## Testing Recommendations
-
-1. Load test with high connection counts (10k+ concurrent)
-2. Monitor event loop lag under stress
-3. Test long-running scenarios to detect memory leaks
-4. Benchmark with async vs sync operations to measure improvement
-
-## Conclusion
-
-While SmartProxy has good architectural design and many best practices, the identified blocking operations and resource management issues could significantly impact performance under high load. The most critical issues (busy wait loop and synchronous filesystem operations) should be addressed immediately.
