RustProxy roadmap

0.31.6 - H3 iOS navigation hardening (runtime acceptance pending)

• Finish live Safari/Chrome iPhone logo-navigation and repeated-refresh acceptance over H3 after Rust compilation.

0.31.5 - User-Agent blocking and consolidated log analysis

• Add bounded global and per-vhost User-Agent blocklists and enforce them before upstream contact.
• Add one-click copy for Traffic values used during investigation.
• Add repeated-value aggregation for arbitrary parsed Stored Logs fields.
• Consolidate active and rotated gzip per-vhost logs into one logical source on demand.
• Update OpenAPI, translations, documentation and Rust-independent regression checks.
• Resolve Cargo dependencies, compile/test Rust and perform real browser/proxy acceptance before production deployment.

0.31.4 - Administration-only public HTTPS Origin with one-field configuration

• Add explicit HTTPS administration.public_origin and restrict its use to trusted reverse-proxy peers for panel requests.
• Derive the pinned DNS hostname for the effective Host allowlist without duplicating it in saved allowed_hosts.
• Keep additional allowed DNS hostnames in an advanced panel field and remove redundant legacy duplicates on edit/save.
• Preserve strict Origin, CSRF, trusted proxy, forwarded Host and HTTPS-first header checks and the opt-in self-admin session-cookie boundary.
• Add panel settings UI, translations, API schema, Rust source regressions and Node simulations without changing public proxy forwarding.
• Resolve Cargo dependencies, compile and test Rust, and perform real mobile/reverse-proxy acceptance before production deployment.

0.31.3 - Mobile session recovery and Origin diagnostics

• Reproduce the overlapping resume-session checks, reload-loop marker reset and early SSE restart using the 0.31.2 source in a deterministic JavaScript simulation.

• Persist malformed HTTP, TLS/QUIC handshake failures, HTTP/2/HTTP/3 protocol failures, invalid h2c attempts and connection-limit rejects through the existing bounded logging sink.
• Keep low-level protocol failures out of the Live Logs memory ring so hostile scans cannot displace ordinary live request history.

• Keep every Rust source file at or below 500 lines and keep unit tests outside implementation files.
• Split oversized dashboard source bundles and the Docker Agent into bounded source modules while preserving behavior and URLs.
• Guard the Web Server split against dangling attributes and missing htaccess, server_protocol and anyhow::Context imports.

• Add explicit symlink policy: deny by default, with Linux-only inside-root following for static files; PHP-FPM remains restricted to deny.
• Add a bounded .htaccess compatibility layer for common Apache migration rules, including rewrite conditions/rules, directory index/listing, MIME, headers, Expires and PHP AddHandler integration, with a dashboard documentation modal and fail-closed security-sensitive directives.
• Add one-shot Web Service presets for Static, SPA, PHP generic, WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, Symfony, Joomla, PrestaShop and Downloads, with optional deterministic hardening for common exploit probes/sensitive paths and fingerprint-header stripping.

• Add bounded per-vhost Traffic analytics, User-Agent logging and opt-in country/GeoIP logging with top-dimension views, effective-client-IP rankings and donut charts for the main dimensions.
• Keep Web Service dashboard rendering stable when configuration loads before the deferred Web Server UI module and use the existing generic/custom 403 error-page pipeline when directory listing is disabled.
• Add automatic allocator release and idle HOT-cache waterline trimming so sustained traffic does not require a vhost save/reload to return reclaimable RSS.
• Add metadata-based ETag/Last-Modified, conditional 304, single Range/If-Range, 206 and 416.
• Enforce decoded-path validation and document-root confinement; Unix traversal uses openat + O_NOFOLLOW and does not serve symlinks.
• Keep Web Server inside the existing routing, ACL/auth, custom-header/error-page/security and H1/H2/H3 response pipeline; do not create separate routing/error/cache subsystems.
• Add unit/source-contract coverage, OpenAPI/UI language coverage and Web Server documentation.
• Clean README/Docs/CHANGELOG/ROADMAP material, add a canonical docs index, authenticated Markdown Reader, 0.25 specification audit and open-work TODO.
• Run compiler-enabled ./dev.sh fmt, ./dev.sh check, ./dev.sh test plus live H1/H2/H3/static-file acceptance on the release host.

Web Server follow-up

Future Web Server work must retain the 0.25 split between reusable Web Service configuration and vhost/location source selection.

• Multipart byte ranges if operational demand justifies them.
• Named locations without introducing a second URL router.
• Opt-in PHP PATH_INFO script/path splitting with an unambiguous confinement rule.
• Race-resistant filesystem confinement for non-Unix targets before enabling local file serving there.
• Real PHP-FPM release-host acceptance over Unix socket and loopback TCP.

See docs/TODO.md for unresolved work and release acceptance, and docs/ROADMAP_HISTORY.md for completed historical milestones.
