 # Changelog
 
+## Pending
+
+
+
+
+## 2026-06-02 - 13.42.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- bump @serve.zone/remoteingress to ^4.22.5 (deps)
+  - Updates @serve.zone/remoteingress from ^4.22.4 to ^4.22.5.
+
+## 2026-06-02 - 13.42.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add ordered route source policies with Gitea preset support (source-policy)
+  - Compile metadata.sourcePolicy bindings into SmartProxy route variants with ordered source matching, path-class overrides, and terminal 429 rate/connection limit handling
+  - Add shared source-policy interfaces, Gitea path-class patterns, validation limits, and resolver support for policy-backed profile usage and display names
+  - Add Ops UI controls for manual and Gitea source-policy presets plus rate-limit editing for source profiles
+  - Seed TRUSTED NETWORKS, AI CRAWLERS, and PUBLIC default profiles through defaults and the 13.42.0 migration
+  - Bump smartproxy to ^27.12.4 and add coverage for source-policy compilation, rate-limit behavior, migrations, and port-safe server tests
+
+## 2026-06-01 - 13.41.2
+
+### Fixes
+
+- update SmartProxy and RemoteIngress dependencies (deps)
+  - Bump SmartProxy to 27.12.3 for the published half-close regression coverage.
+  - Bump RemoteIngress to 4.22.4 for the half-close/reset and UDP startup lifecycle fixes.
+  - Align npm and Deno import metadata for both runtime dependencies.
+
+## 2026-05-31 - 13.41.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- prevent SmartAcme startup from blocking router startup (smartacme)
+  - Start SmartAcme in the background with bounded exponential retry handling
+  - Re-trigger certificate provisioning after SmartAcme becomes ready
+  - Cancel stale retry timers and clean up SmartAcme instances during shutdown or config updates
+
+## 2026-05-31 - 13.41.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add RemoteIngress hub settings management (remoteingress)
+  - Persist hub-level RemoteIngress performance settings with validation and seed defaults from config
+  - Add typed read/update handlers and web UI controls for hub performance settings
+  - Restart the tunnel hub after hub setting updates so new performance defaults take effect
+  - Serialize RemoteIngress lifecycle tasks, edge mutations, route syncs, and stop/start operations to avoid hub race conditions
+
+## 2026-05-31 - 13.40.3
+
+### Fixes
+
+- bump smartproxy and remoteingress dependencies (deps)
+  - Bumped @push.rocks/smartproxy from ^27.12.1 to ^27.12.2
+  - Bumped @serve.zone/remoteingress from ^4.22.2 to ^4.22.3
+  - Updated dependency versions in both package.json and deno.json
+
+## 2026-05-31 - 13.40.2
+
+### Fixes
+
+- ensure source profiles fully own route security (routes)
+  - Resolve profile-backed routes by cloning source profile security instead of merging inline route overrides
+  - Clear stale route security when a source profile reference is removed without explicit replacement security
+  - Add a migration to rematerialize persisted profile-backed route security
+
+## 2026-05-31 - 13.40.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- update smartproxy, remoteingress, and tsdeno dependencies (deps)

-The core DcRouter package — a unified datacenter gateway orchestrator. 🚀

-This is the main entry point for DcRouter. It provides the `DcRouter` class that wires together SmartProxy, smartmta, SmartDNS, SmartRadius, RemoteIngress, and the OpsServer dashboard into a single cohesive service.
+The `ts/` directory is the main dcrouter runtime package. It exposes the `DcRouter` orchestrator, `IDcRouterOptions`, `runCli()`, and the server-side exports that matter when you want to boot the full router stack from code.

+- SmartProxy for HTTP/HTTPS/TCP routes
+- `UnifiedEmailServer` for SMTP ingress and delivery when `emailConfig` is present
+- DB-backed managers for routes, API tokens, target profiles, domains, records, ACME config, and email domains when the DB is enabled
+- embedded authoritative DNS and DoH route generation from `dnsNsDomains` and `dnsScopes`
+- VPN, RADIUS, and remote ingress services when their config blocks are enabled
+- OpsServer and the dashboard, which start on every boot
 
-## Exports
+## Important Runtime Behavior
 
-```typescript
-// Main class
-export { DcRouter, IDcRouterOptions } from './classes.dcrouter.js';
+- The DB is enabled by default and uses an embedded local database when no external MongoDB URL is provided.
+- System routes from config, email, and DNS are persisted with stable ownership and are toggle-only.
+- API-created routes are the only routes intended for full CRUD from the dashboard or client SDK.
+- Qualifying HTTPS forward routes on port `443` get HTTP/3 augmentation by default.
+- The published package exposes the `dcrouter` npm bin through `./cli.js`; `runCli()` is the supported code-level bootstrap entrypoint.

-## Key Classes
-
-### `DcRouter`
-
-The central orchestrator. Accepts `IDcRouterOptions` and manages the lifecycle of all sub-services:
-
-| Config Section | Service Started | Package |
-|----------------|----------------|---------|
-| `smartProxyConfig` | SmartProxy (HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/SNI) | `@push.rocks/smartproxy` |
-| `emailConfig` | UnifiedEmailServer (SMTP) | `@push.rocks/smartmta` |
-| `dnsNsDomains` + `dnsScopes` | DnsServer (UDP + DoH) | `@push.rocks/smartdns` |
-| `radiusConfig` | RadiusServer (auth + accounting) | `@push.rocks/smartradius` |
-| `remoteIngressConfig` | RemoteIngressManager + TunnelManager | `@serve.zone/remoteingress` |
-| `tls` + `dnsChallenge` | SmartAcme (ACME cert provisioning) | `@push.rocks/smartacme` |
-| `http3` | HTTP/3 route augmentation (enabled by default) | built-in |
-| `cacheConfig` | CacheDb (embedded MongoDB) | `@push.rocks/smartdata` |
-| *(always)* | OpsServer (dashboard + API) | `@api.global/typedserver` |
-| *(always)* | MetricsManager | `@push.rocks/smartmetrics` |
-
-### `RemoteIngressManager`
-
-Manages CRUD for remote ingress edge registrations. Persists edges via StorageManager. Provides port derivation from routes tagged with `remoteIngress.enabled`.
-
-### `TunnelManager`
-
-Manages the Rust-based RemoteIngressHub lifecycle. Syncs allowed edges, tracks connection status, and exposes edge statuses (connected, publicIp, activeTunnels, lastHeartbeat).
+| Need | Module |
+| --- | --- |
+| A higher-level client SDK for a running router | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter/apiclient` |
+| Raw TypedRequest request/data contracts | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter/interfaces` |
+| The standalone migration runner | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-migrations` |
+| The browser dashboard module boundary | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-web` |
