+## 2025-05-09 - 12.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(forwarding)
+Rename 'sniPassthrough' export to 'httpsPassthrough' for consistent naming and remove outdated forwarding example
+
+- Updated test files (test.forwarding.ts and test.forwarding.unit.ts) to reference 'httpsPassthrough' instead of the old alias 'sniPassthrough'
+- Modified ts/smartproxy/forwarding/index.ts to export 'httpsPassthrough' without the legacy alias
+- Removed ts/examples/forwarding-example.ts to clean up redundant example code
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 11.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(forwarding)
+Refactor unified forwarding API and remove redundant documentation. Removed docs/forwarding-system.md (its content is migrated into readme.md) and updated helper functions (e.g. replacing sniPassthrough with httpsPassthrough) to accept configuration objects. Legacy fields in domain configurations (allowedIPs, blockedIPs, useNetworkProxy, networkProxyPort, connectionTimeout) have been removed in favor of forwarding.security and advanced options. Tests and examples have been updated accordingly.
+
+- Removed docs/forwarding-system.md; forwarding system docs now reside in readme.md.
+- Updated helper functions (httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp, tlsTerminateToHttps, httpsPassthrough) to accept object parameters rather than individual arguments.
+- Removed legacy domain configuration properties, shifting IP filtering to the forwarding.security field.
+- Adjusted return types and API contracts for certificate provisioning and SNI handling in the unified forwarding system.
+- Updated tests and examples to align with the new configuration interface.
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 10.3.0 - feat(forwarding)

+- Introduced new tests and unit tests for forwarding, network proxy, and certificate provisioning
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.2.0 - feat(CertificateManager)
+Implement on-demand certificate retrieval for missing SNI certificates. When no certificate is found for a TLS ClientHello, the system now automatically registers the domain with the Port80Handler to trigger ACME issuance and immediately falls back to using the default certificate to complete the handshake. Additionally, HTTP requests on port 80 for unrecognized domains now return a 503 indicating that certificate issuance is in progress.
+
+- In CertificateManager.handleSNI, if no certificate is cached, call port80Handler.addDomain to trigger on-demand provisioning.
+- Update Port80Handler.handleRequest to register unknown domains and return a 503 for ACME HTTP-01 challenge requests.
+- Emit observability events (e.g. certificateRequested) so dynamic certificate requests can be tracked.
+- Fallback to default SSL context to allow TLS handshake while certificate issuance is performed.
+- Update and extend unit and integration tests to verify the new on-demand certificate flow.
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.1.0 - feat(smartproxy)
+Implement fallback to NetworkProxy on missing SNI and rename certProvider to certProvisionFunction in CertProvisioner
+
+- When a TLS ClientHello is received without an SNI extension and allowSessionTicket is false, the code now attempts to forward the connection to NetworkProxy instead of immediately closing the connection with a TLS alert.
+- An error callback has been added to handle proxy forwarding failures; if forwarding fails or no NetworkProxy is available, the TLS unrecognized_name alert is sent and the connection is terminated.
+- Renamed all instances of 'certProvider' to 'certProvisionFunction' in the CertProvisioner implementation, updating the associated types and call sites.
+- Updated unit tests to simulate a ClientHello without SNI and to verify that with NetworkProxy enabled the connection is correctly forwarded.

+
+## 2025-03-18 - 4.2.6 - fix(Port80Handler)
+Restrict ACME HTTP-01 challenge handling to domains with acmeMaintenance or acmeForward enabled
+
+- Updated challenge handler in ts/classes.port80handler.ts to include a check for (options.acmeMaintenance || options.acmeForward)
+- Prevents unintended processing of ACME challenges when ACME configuration is not enabled
+
+## 2025-03-18 - 4.2.5 - fix(networkproxy)
+Refactor certificate management components: rename AcmeCertManager to Port80Handler and update related event names from CertManagerEvents to Port80HandlerEvents. The changes update internal API usage in ts/classes.networkproxy.ts and ts/classes.port80handler.ts to unify and simplify ACME certificate handling and HTTP-01 challenge management.
+
+- Renamed AcmeCertManager to Port80Handler in ts/classes.networkproxy.ts

+
+## 2025-03-18 - 4.2.3 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Remove unnecessary delay in TLS session ticket handling for connections without SNI
+
+- Eliminated the extra setTimeout waiting period before cleaning up connections flagged as session_ticket_blocked_no_sni
+- Ensures immediate cleanup and improves connection responsiveness during TLS handshake failures
+
+## 2025-03-18 - 4.2.2 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Ensure proper termination of TLS connections without SNI by explicitly ending the socket after sending the unrecognized_name alert. This prevents the connection from hanging and avoids potential duplicate handling.
+
+- Added socket.end() after uncorking the alert packet in ClientHello handling to force connection closure.
+- Prevents duplicate data events and ensures the warning alert is processed by clients like Chrome.
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.2.1 - fix(core)
+No uncommitted changes detected in the project.
+
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.2.0 - feat(tlsalert)
+add sendForceSniSequence and sendFatalAndClose helper functions to TlsAlert for improved SNI enforcement
+
+- Introduce sendForceSniSequence to combine multiple alerts and force clients to provide SNI
+- Add sendFatalAndClose to immediately send a fatal alert and close the connection
+- Enhance TLS alert handling for better browser compatibility and error management
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.16 - fix(tls)
+Improve TLS alert handling in connection handler: use the new TlsAlert class to send proper unrecognized_name alerts when a ClientHello is missing SNI and wait for a retry on the same connection before closing. Also, add alertFallbackTimeout tracking to connection records for better timeout management.
+
+- Replaced hardcoded alert buffers in ConnectionHandler with calls to the TlsAlert class.
+- Removed old warnings and implemented a mechanism to remove existing 'data' listeners and await a new ClientHello.
+- Introduced alertFallbackTimeout property in connection records to track fallback timeout and ensure proper cleanup.
+- Extended the delay before closing the connection after sending an alert, providing the client more time to retry.
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.15 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Delay socket termination in TLS session resumption handling to allow proper alert processing
+
+- Removed the immediate socket.end() call in finishConnection and moved it inside the setTimeout, ensuring that clients (especially Chrome) have additional time to process the TLS alert before connection termination
+- This prevents premature socket closure on ClientHello without SNI when session tickets are disallowed
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.14 - fix(ConnectionHandler)
+Use the correct TLS alert data and increase the delay before socket termination when session resumption without SNI is detected.
+
+- Replaced certificateExpiredAlert with serverNameUnknownAlertData for sending the appropriate alert.
+- Increased the cleanup delay from 1000ms to 5000ms to allow a more graceful termination.
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.13 - fix(tls-handshake)
+Set certificate_expired TLS alert level to warning instead of fatal to allow graceful termination.
+
+- In the TLS handshake alert for certificate_expired (0x2F), changed the alert level from 0x02 (fatal) to 0x01 (warning).
+- This change avoids abrupt connection termination, enabling a smoother handling of certificate expiration alerts.
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.12 - fix(classes.pp.connectionhandler)
+Replace unrecognized_name alert data with certificate_expired alert in TLS handshake handling for session resumption without SNI
+
+- Switched the alert payload from serverNameUnknownAlertData to a new certificateExpiredAlert buffer
+- Now sends a fatal certificate_expired alert (code 47) instead of a warning unrecognized_name alert
+- Improves TLS error reporting and encourages immediate disconnection when a ClientHello lacks SNI and session tickets are disallowed
+
+## 2025-03-17 - 4.1.11 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Increase delay before cleaning up connections when session resumption is blocked due to missing SNI, allowing more natural socket termination.
+
+- Changed cleanup delay in ts/classes.pp.connectionhandler.ts from 300ms to 1000ms.
+- This fix ensures that sockets get sufficient time to terminate gracefully.
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.10 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Increase delay timings for TLS alert transmission in session ticket blocking to allow graceful socket termination
+
+- Updated finishConnection: replaced immediate socket.destroy with a graceful end call
+- Increased delay after successful write from 50ms to 200ms to allow alert processing
+- Raised safety timeout from 250ms to 400ms when waiting for 'drain' event
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.9 - fix(ConnectionHandler)
+Replace closeNotify alert with handshake failure alert in TLS ClientHello handling to properly signal missing SNI and enforce session ticket restrictions.
+
+- Switched alert data sent on missing SNI from closeNotifyAlert to sslHandshakeFailureAlertData.
+- Ensures consistent TLS alert behavior during handshake failure.
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.8 - fix(ConnectionHandler/tls)
+Change the TLS alert sent when a ClientHello lacks SNI: use the close_notify alert instead of handshake_failure to prompt immediate retry with SNI.
+
+- Replaced the previously sent handshake_failure alert (code 0x28) with a close_notify alert (code 0x00) in the TLS session resumption handling in ConnectionHandler.
+- This change encourages clients to immediately retry and include SNI when allowSessionTicket is false.
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.7 - fix(classes.pp.connectionhandler)
+Improve TLS alert handling in ClientHello when SNI is missing and session tickets are disallowed
+
+- Replace the unrecognized_name alert with a handshake_failure alert to ensure better client behavior.
+- Refactor the alert sending mechanism using cork/uncork and add a safety timeout for the drain event.
+- Enhance logging for debugging TLS handshake failures when SNI is absent.
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.6 - fix(tls)
+Refine TLS ClientHello handling when allowSessionTicket is false by replacing extensive alert timeout logic with a concise warning alert and short delay, encouraging immediate client retry with proper SNI
+
+- Update the TLS alert sending mechanism to use cork/uncork and a short, fixed delay instead of long timeouts
+- Remove redundant event listeners and excessive cleanup logic after sending the alert
+- Improve code clarity and encourage clients (e.g., Chrome) to retry handshake with SNI more responsively
+
+## 2025-03-16 - 4.1.5 - fix(TLS/ConnectionHandler)
+Improve handling of TLS session resumption without SNI by sending an 'unrecognized_name' alert instead of immediately terminating the connection. This change adds a grace period for the client to retry the handshake with proper SNI and cleans up the connection if no valid response is received.
+
+- Send a TLS warning (unrecognized_name alert, code 112) when a ClientHello is received without SNI and session tickets are disallowed.
+- Utilize socket cork/uncork to ensure the alert is sent as a single packet.
+- Add a 5-second alert timeout and a subsequent 30-second grace period to allow clients to initiate a new handshake with SNI.
+- Clean up and terminate the connection if no valid SNI is provided after the grace period, logging appropriate termination reasons.
+
+## 2025-03-15 - 4.1.4 - fix(ConnectionHandler)
+Refactor ConnectionHandler code formatting for improved readability and consistency in log messages and whitespace handling
+
+- Standardized indentation and spacing in method signatures and log statements
+- Aligned inline comments and string concatenations for clarity
+- Minor refactoring of parameter formatting without changing functionality
+
+## 2025-03-15 - 4.1.3 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Improve handling of TLS ClientHello messages when allowSessionTicket is disabled and no SNI is provided by sending a warning alert (unrecognized_name, code 0x70) with a proper callback and delay to ensure the alert is transmitted before closing the connection.
+
+- Replace the fatal alert (0x02/0x40) with a warning alert (0x01/0x70) to notify clients to send SNI.
+- Use socket.write callback to wait 100ms after sending the alert before terminating the connection.
+- Remove the previous short (50ms) delay in favor of a more reliable delay mechanism before cleanup.
+
+## 2025-03-15 - 4.1.2 - fix(connectionhandler)
+Send proper TLS alert before terminating connections when SNI is missing and session tickets are disallowed.
+
+- Added logic to transmit a fatal TLS alert (Handshake Failure) before closing the connection when no SNI is present with allowSessionTicket=false.
+- Introduced a slight 50ms delay after sending the alert to ensure the client receives the alert properly.
+- Applied these changes both for the initial ClientHello and when handling subsequent TLS data.
+
+## 2025-03-15 - 4.1.1 - fix(tls)
+Enforce strict SNI handling in TLS connections by terminating ClientHello messages lacking SNI when session tickets are disallowed and removing legacy session cache code.
+
+- In classes.pp.connectionhandler.ts, if allowSessionTicket is false and no SNI is extracted from a ClientHello, the connection is terminated to force a new handshake with SNI.
+- In classes.pp.snihandler.ts, removed session cache and related cleanup functions used for tab reactivation, simplifying SNI extraction logic.
+- Improved logging in TLS processing to aid in diagnosing handshake and session resumption issues.
+
+## 2025-03-14 - 4.1.0 - feat(SniHandler)
+Enhance SNI extraction to support session caching and tab reactivation by adding session cache initialization, cleanup and helper methods. Update processTlsPacket to use cached SNI for session resumption and connection racing scenarios.
+
+- Introduce initSessionCacheCleanup, cleanupSessionCache, createClientKey, cacheSession, and getCachedSession methods to manage SNI information.
+- Cache SNI based on client IP and client random to improve handling of fragmented ClientHello messages and tab reactivation.
+- Update processTlsPacket to leverage cached SNI when standard extraction fails, reducing redundant extraction and enhancing connection racing behavior.
+
+## 2025-03-14 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(core)
+refactor: reorganize internal module structure to use 'classes.pp.*' modules
+
+- Renamed port proxy and SNI handler source files to 'classes.pp.portproxy.js' and 'classes.pp.snihandler.js' respectively

+# SmartProxy Project Hints
+
+## Project Overview
+- Package: `@push.rocks/smartproxy` – high-performance proxy supporting HTTP(S), TCP, WebSocket, and ACME integration.
+- Written in TypeScript, compiled output in `dist_ts/`, uses ESM with NodeNext resolution.
+
+## Important: ACME Configuration in v19.0.0
+- **Breaking Change**: ACME configuration must be placed within individual route TLS settings, not at the top level
+- Route-level ACME config is the ONLY way to enable SmartAcme initialization
+- SmartCertManager requires email in route config for certificate acquisition
+- Top-level ACME configuration is ignored in v19.0.0
+
+## Repository Structure
+- `ts/` – TypeScript source files:
+  - `index.ts` exports main modules.
+  - `plugins.ts` centralizes native and third-party imports.
+  - Subdirectories: `networkproxy/`, `nftablesproxy/`, `port80handler/`, `redirect/`, `smartproxy/`.
+  - Key classes: `ProxyRouter` (`classes.router.ts`), `SmartProxy` (`classes.smartproxy.ts`), plus handlers/managers.
+- `dist_ts/` – transpiled `.js` and `.d.ts` files mirroring `ts/` structure.
+- `test/` – test suites in TypeScript:
+  - `test.router.ts` – routing logic (hostname matching, wildcards, path parameters, config management).
+  - `test.smartproxy.ts` – proxy behavior tests (TCP forwarding, SNI handling, concurrency, chaining, timeouts).
+  - `test/helpers/` – utilities (e.g., certificates).
+- `assets/certs/` – placeholder certificates for ACME and TLS.
+
+## Development Setup
+- Requires `pnpm` (v10+).
+- Install dependencies: `pnpm install`.
+- Build: `pnpm build` (runs `tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany`).
+- 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`.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+- Import modules via `plugins.ts`:
+  ```ts
+  import * as plugins from './plugins.ts';
+  const server = new plugins.http.Server();
+  ```
+- Reference plugins with full path: `plugins.acme`, `plugins.smartdelay`, `plugins.minimatch`, etc.
+- Path patterns support globs (`*`) and parameters (`:param`) in `ProxyRouter`.
+- Wildcard hostname matching leverages `minimatch` patterns.
+
+## Key Components
+- **ProxyRouter**
+  - Methods: `routeReq`, `routeReqWithDetails`.
+  - Hostname matching: case-insensitive, strips port, supports exact, wildcard, TLD, complex patterns.
+  - Path routing: exact, wildcard, parameter extraction (`pathParams`), returns `pathMatch` and `pathRemainder`.
+  - Config API: `setNewProxyConfigs`, `addProxyConfig`, `removeProxyConfig`, `getHostnames`, `getProxyConfigs`.
+- **SmartProxy**
+  - Manages one or more `net.Server` instances to forward TCP streams.
+  - Options: `preserveSourceIP`, `defaultAllowedIPs`, `globalPortRanges`, `sniEnabled`.
+  - DomainConfigManager: round-robin selection for multiple target IPs.
+  - Graceful shutdown in `stop()`, ensures no lingering servers or sockets.
+
+## Notable Points
+- **TSConfig**: `module: NodeNext`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`, allows `.js` extension imports in TS.
+- Mermaid diagrams and architecture flows in `readme.md` illustrate component interactions and protocol flows.
+- CLI entrypoint (`cli.js`) supports command-line usage (ACME, proxy controls).
+- ACME and certificate handling via `Port80Handler` and `helpers.certificates.ts`.
+
+## ACME/Certificate Configuration Example (v19.0.0)
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'example.com',
+    match: { domains: 'example.com', ports: 443 },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+      tls: {
+        mode: 'terminate',
+        certificate: 'auto',
+        acme: {  // ACME config MUST be here, not at top level
+          email: 'ssl@example.com',
+          useProduction: false,
+          challengePort: 80
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## TODOs / Considerations
+- Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
+- Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
+- Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
+- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.
+- Consider implementing top-level ACME config support for backward compatibility
+
+## 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.
