 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-13 - 23.1.6 - fix(smart-proxy)
+disable built-in Rust ACME when a certProvisionFunction is provided and improve certificate provisioning flow
+
+- Pass an optional ACME override into buildRustConfig so Rust ACME can be disabled per-run
+- Disable Rust ACME when certProvisionFunction is configured to avoid provisioning race conditions
+- Normalize routing glob patterns into concrete domain identifiers for certificate provisioning (expand leading-star globs and warn on unsupported patterns)
+- Deduplicate domains during provisioning to avoid repeated attempts
+- When the callback returns 'http01', explicitly trigger Rust ACME for the route via bridge.provisionCertificate and log success/failure
+
+## 2026-02-13 - 23.1.5 - fix(smart-proxy)
+provision certificates for wildcard domains instead of skipping them
+
+- Removed early continue that skipped domains containing '*' in the domain loop
+- Now calls provisionFn for wildcard domains so certificate provisioning can proceed for wildcard hosts
+- Fixes cases where wildcard domains never had certificates requested
+
+## 2026-02-12 - 23.1.4 - fix(tests)
+make tests more robust and bump small dependencies
+
+- Bump dependencies: @push.rocks/smartrust ^1.2.1 and minimatch ^10.2.0
+- Replace hardcoded ports with named constants (ECHO_PORT, PROXY_PORT, PROXY_PORT_1/2) to avoid collisions between tests
+- Add server 'error' handlers and reject listen promises on server errors to prevent silent hangs
+- Reduce test timeouts and intervals (shorter test durations, more frequent pings) to speed up test runs
+- Ensure proxy is stopped between tests and remove forced process.exit; export tap.start() consistently
+- Adjust assertions to match the new shorter ping/response counts
+
+## 2026-02-12 - 23.1.3 - fix(rustproxy)
+install default rustls crypto provider early; detect and skip raw fast-path for HTTP connections and return proper HTTP 502 when no route matches
+
+- Install ring-based rustls crypto provider at startup to prevent panics from instant-acme/hyper-rustls calling ClientConfig::builder() before TLS listeners are initialized
+- Add a non-blocking 10ms peek to detect HTTP traffic in the TCP passthrough fast-path to avoid misrouting HTTP and ensure HTTP proxy handles CORS, errors, and request-level routing
+- Skip the fast-path and fall back to the HTTP proxy when HTTP is detected (with a debug log)
+- When no route matches for detected HTTP connections, send an HTTP 502 Bad Gateway response and close the connection instead of silently dropping it
+
+## 2026-02-11 - 23.1.2 - fix(core)
+use node: scoped builtin imports and add route unit tests
+
+- Replaced bare Node built-in imports (events, fs, http, https, net, path, tls, url, http2, buffer, crypto) with 'node:' specifiers for ESM/bundler compatibility (files updated include ts/plugins.ts, ts/core/models/socket-types.ts, ts/core/utils/enhanced-connection-pool.ts, ts/core/utils/socket-tracker.ts, ts/protocols/common/fragment-handler.ts, ts/protocols/tls/sni/client-hello-parser.ts, ts/protocols/tls/sni/sni-extraction.ts, ts/protocols/websocket/utils.ts, ts/tls/sni/sni-handler.ts).
+- Added new unit tests (test/test.bun.ts and test/test.deno.ts) covering route helpers, validators, matching, merging and cloning to improve test coverage.
+
+## 2026-02-11 - 23.1.1 - fix(rust-proxy)
+increase rust proxy bridge maxPayloadSize to 100 MB and bump dependencies
+
+- Set maxPayloadSize to 100 * 1024 * 1024 (100 MB) in ts/proxies/smart-proxy/rust-proxy-bridge.ts to support large route configs
+- Bump devDependency @types/node from ^25.2.2 to ^25.2.3
+- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smartrust from ^1.1.1 to ^1.2.0
+
+## 2026-02-10 - 23.1.0 - feat(rust-bridge)
+integrate tsrust to build and locate cross-compiled Rust binaries; refactor rust-proxy bridge to use typed IPC and streamline process handling; add @push.rocks/smartrust and update build/dev dependencies
+
+- Add tsrust to the build script and include dist_rust candidates when locating the Rust binary (enables cross-compiled artifacts produced by tsrust).
+- Remove the old rust-binary-locator and refactor rust-proxy-bridge to use explicit, typed IPC command definitions and improved process spawn/cleanup logic.
+- Introduce @push.rocks/smartrust for type-safe JSON IPC and export it via plugins; update README with expanded metrics documentation and change initialDataTimeout default from 60s to 120s.
+- Add rust/.cargo/config.toml with aarch64 linker configuration to support cross-compilation for arm64.
+- Bump several devDependencies and runtime dependencies (e.g. @git.zone/tsbuild, @git.zone/tstest, @push.rocks/smartserve, @push.rocks/taskbuffer, ws, minimatch, etc.).
+- Update runtime message guiding local builds to use 'pnpm build' (tsrust) instead of direct cargo invocation.
+
 ## 2026-02-09 - 23.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(proxies/nftables-proxy)
 remove nftables-proxy implementation, models, and utilities from the repository
