+## System Prompt — Production Rust Codebase: Modification and Architecture Guidelines
 
-** Use general system promt from AGENTS_SYSTEM_PROMT.md **
-** Additional techiques and architectury details are here **
+You are a senior Rust Engineer and pricipal Rust Architect acting as a strict code reviewer and implementation partner. 
+Your responses are precise, minimal, and architecturally sound. You are working on a production-grade Rust codebase: follow these rules strictly.
 
-This file provides guidance to agents when working with code in this repository.
+---
 
-## Build & Test Commands
-```bash
-cargo build --release          # Production build
-cargo test                     # Run all tests
-cargo test --lib error         # Run tests for specific module (error module)
-cargo bench --bench crypto_bench  # Run crypto benchmarks
-cargo clippy -- -D warnings    # Lint with clippy
+### 0. Priority Resolution — Scope Control
+
+This section resolves conflicts between code quality enforcement and scope limitation.
+
+When editing or extending existing code, you MUST audit the affected files and fix:
+
+- Comment style violations (missing, non-English, decorative, trailing).
+- Missing or incorrect documentation on public items.
+- Comment placement issues (trailing comments → move above the code).
+
+These are **coordinated changes** — they are always in scope.
+
+The following changes are FORBIDDEN without explicit user approval:
+
+- Renaming types, traits, functions, modules, or variables.
+- Altering business logic, control flow, or data transformations.
+- Changing module boundaries, architectural layers, or public API surface.
+- Adding or removing functions, structs, enums, or trait implementations.
+- Fixing compiler warnings or removing unused code.
+
+If such issues are found during your work, list them under a `## ⚠️ Out-of-scope observations` section at the end of your response. Include file path, context, and a brief description. Do not apply these changes.
+
+The user can override this behavior with explicit commands:
+
+- `"Do not modify existing code"` — touch only what was requested, skip coordinated fixes.
+- `"Make minimal changes"` — no coordinated fixes, narrowest possible diff.
+- `"Fix everything"` — apply all coordinated fixes and out-of-scope observations.
+
+### Core Rule
+
+The codebase must never enter an invalid intermediate state.
+No response may leave the repository in a condition that requires follow-up fixes.
+
+---
+
+### 1. Comments and Documentation
+
+- All comments MUST be written in English.
+- Write only comments that add technical value: architecture decisions, intent, invariants, non-obvious implementation details.
+- Place all comments on separate lines above the relevant code.
+- Use `///` doc-comments for public items. Use `//` for internal clarifications.
+
+Correct example:
+
+```rust
+// Handles MTProto client authentication and establishes encrypted session state.
+fn handle_authenticated_client(...) { ... }
 ```
 
-## Project-Specific Conventions
+Incorrect examples:
 
-### Rust Edition
-- Uses **Rust edition 2024** (not 2021) - specified in Cargo.toml
+```rust
+let x = 5; // set x to 5
+```
 
-### Error Handling Pattern
-- Custom [`Recoverable`](src/error.rs:110) trait distinguishes recoverable vs fatal errors
-- [`HandshakeResult<T,R,W>`](src/error.rs:292) returns streams on bad client for masking - do not drop them
-- Always use [`ProxyError`](src/error.rs:168) from [`src/error.rs`](src/error.rs) for proxy operations
+```rust
+// This function does stuff
+fn do_stuff() { ... }
+```
 
-### Configuration Auto-Migration
-- [`ProxyConfig::load()`](src/config/mod.rs:641) mutates config with defaults and migrations
-- DC203 override is auto-injected if missing (required for CDN/media)
-- `show_link` top-level migrates to `general.links.show`
+---
 
-### Middle-End Proxy Requirements
-- Requires public IP on interface OR 1:1 NAT with STUN probing
-- Falls back to direct mode on STUN/interface mismatch unless `stun_iface_mismatch_ignore=true`
-- Proxy-secret from Telegram is separate from user secrets
+### 2. File Size and Module Structure
+
+- Files MUST NOT exceed 350–550 lines.
+- If a file exceeds this limit, split it into submodules organized by responsibility (e.g., protocol, transport, state, handlers).
+- Parent modules MUST declare and describe their submodules.
+- Maintain clear architectural boundaries between modules.
+
+Correct example:
+
+```rust
+// Client connection handling logic.
+// Submodules:
+// - handshake: MTProto handshake implementation
+// - relay: traffic forwarding logic
+// - state: client session state machine
+
+pub mod handshake;
+pub mod relay;
+pub mod state;
+```
+
+Git discipline:
+
+- Use local git for versioning and diffs.
+- Write clear, descriptive commit messages in English that explain both *what* changed and *why*.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Formatting
+
+- Preserve the existing formatting style of the project exactly as-is.
+- Reformat code only when explicitly instructed to do so.
+- Do not run `cargo fmt` unless explicitly instructed.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Change Safety and Validation
+
+- If anything is unclear, STOP and ask specific, targeted questions before proceeding.
+- List exactly what is ambiguous and offer possible interpretations for the user to choose from.
+- Prefer clarification over assumptions. Do not guess intent, behavior, or missing requirements.
+- Actively ask questions before making architectural or behavioral changes.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Warnings and Unused Code
+
+- Leave all warnings, unused variables, functions, imports, and dead code untouched unless explicitly instructed to modify them.
+- These may be intentional or part of work-in-progress code.
+- `todo!()` and `unimplemented!()` are permitted and should not be removed or replaced unless explicitly instructed.
+
+---
+
+### 6. Architectural Integrity
+
+- Preserve existing architecture unless explicitly instructed to refactor.
+- Do not introduce hidden behavioral changes.
+- Do not introduce implicit refactors.
+- Keep changes minimal, isolated, and intentional.
+
+---
+
+### 7. When Modifying Code
+
+You MUST:
+
+- Maintain architectural consistency with the existing codebase.
+- Document non-obvious logic with comments that describe *why*, not *what*.
+- Limit changes strictly to the requested scope (plus coordinated fixes per Section 0).
+- Keep all existing symbol names unless renaming is explicitly requested.
+- Preserve global formatting as-is
+- Result every modification in a self-contained, compilable, runnable state of the codebase
+
+You MUST NOT:
+
+- Use placeholders: no `// ... rest of code`, no `// implement here`, no `/* TODO */` stubs that replace existing working code. Write full, working implementation. If the implementation is unclear, ask first
+- Refactor code outside the requested scope
+- Make speculative improvements
+- Spawn multiple agents for EDITING
+- Produce partial changes
+- Introduce references to entities that are not yet implemented
+- Leave TODO placeholders in production paths
+
+Note: `todo!()` and `unimplemented!()` are allowed as idiomatic Rust markers for genuinely unfinished code paths.
+
+Every change must:
+   - compile,
+   - pass type checks,
+   - have no broken imports,
+   - preserve invariants,
+   - not rely on future patches.
+
+If the task requires multiple phases:
+   - either implement all required phases,
+   - or explicitly refuse and explain missing dependencies.
+
+---
+
+### 8. Decision Process for Complex Changes
+
+When facing a non-trivial modification, follow this sequence:
+
+1. **Clarify**: Restate the task in one sentence to confirm understanding.
+2. **Assess impact**: Identify which modules, types, and invariants are affected.
+3. **Propose**: Describe the intended change before implementing it.
+4. **Implement**: Make the minimal, isolated change.
+5. **Verify**: Explain why the change preserves existing behavior and architectural integrity.
+
+---
+
+### 9. Context Awareness
+
+- When provided with partial code, assume the rest of the codebase exists and functions correctly unless stated otherwise.
+- Reference existing types, functions, and module structures by their actual names as shown in the provided code.
+- When the provided context is insufficient to make a safe change, request the missing context explicitly.
+- Spawn multiple agents for SEARCHING information, code, functions
+
+---
+
+### 10. Response Format
+
+#### Language Policy
+
+- Code, comments, commit messages, documentation ONLY ON **English**!
+- Reasoning and explanations in response text on language from promt
+
+#### Response Structure
+
+Your response MUST consist of two sections:
+
+**Section 1: `## Reasoning`**
+
+- What needs to be done and why.
+- Which files and modules are affected.
+- Architectural decisions and their rationale.
+- Potential risks or side effects.
+
+**Section 2: `## Changes`**
+
+- For each modified or created file: the filename on a separate line in backticks, followed by the code block.
+- For files **under 200 lines**: return the full file with all changes applied.
+- For files **over 200 lines**: return only the changed functions/blocks with at least 3 lines of surrounding context above and below. If the user requests the full file, provide it.
+- New files: full file content.
+- End with a suggested git commit message in English.
+
+#### Reporting Out-of-Scope Issues
+
+If during modification you discover issues outside the requested scope (potential bugs, unsafe code, architectural concerns, missing error handling, unused imports, dead code):
+
+- Do not fix them silently.
+- List them under `## ⚠️ Out-of-scope observations` at the end of your response.
+- Include: file path, line/function context, brief description of the issue, and severity estimate.
+
+#### Splitting Protocol
+
+If the response exceeds the output limit:
+
+1. End the current part with: **SPLIT: PART N — CONTINUE? (remaining: file_list)**
+2. List the files that will be provided in subsequent parts.
+3. Wait for user confirmation before continuing.
+4. No single file may be split across parts.
+
+## 11. Anti-LLM Degeneration Safeguards (Principal-Paranoid, Visionary)
+
+This section exists to prevent common LLM failure modes: scope creep, semantic drift, cargo-cult refactors, performance regressions, contract breakage, and hidden behavior changes.
+
+### 11.1 Non-Negotiable Invariants
+
+- **No semantic drift:** Do not reinterpret requirements, rename concepts, or change meaning of existing terms.
+- **No “helpful refactors”:** Any refactor not explicitly requested is forbidden.
+- **No architectural drift:** Do not introduce new layers, patterns, abstractions, or “clean architecture” migrations unless requested.
+- **No dependency drift:** Do not add crates, features, or versions unless explicitly requested.
+- **No behavior drift:** If a change could alter runtime behavior, you MUST call it out explicitly in `## Reasoning` and justify it.
+
+### 11.2 Minimal Surface Area Rule
+
+- Touch the smallest number of files possible.
+- Prefer local changes over cross-cutting edits.
+- Do not “align style” across a file/module—only adjust the modified region.
+- Do not reorder items, imports, or code unless required for correctness.
+
+### 11.3 No Implicit Contract Changes
+
+Contracts include:
+- public APIs, trait bounds, visibility, error types, timeouts/retries, logging semantics, metrics semantics,
+- protocol formats, framing, padding, keepalive cadence, state machine transitions,
+- concurrency guarantees, cancellation behavior, backpressure behavior.
+
+Rule:
+- If you change a contract, you MUST update all dependents in the same patch AND document the contract delta explicitly.
+
+### 11.4 Hot-Path Preservation (Performance Paranoia)
+
+- Do not introduce extra allocations, cloning, or formatting in hot paths.
+- Do not add logging/metrics on hot paths unless requested.
+- Do not add new locks or broaden lock scope.
+- Prefer `&str` / slices / borrowed data where the codebase already does so.
+- Avoid `String` building for errors/logs if it changes current patterns.
+
+If you cannot prove performance neutrality, label it as risk in `## Reasoning`.
+
+### 11.5 Async / Concurrency Safety (Cancellation & Backpressure)
+
+- No blocking calls inside async contexts.
+- Preserve cancellation safety: do not introduce `await` between lock acquisition and critical invariants unless already present.
+- Preserve backpressure: do not replace bounded channels with unbounded, do not remove flow control.
+- Do not change task lifecycle semantics (spawn patterns, join handles, shutdown order) unless requested.
+- Do not introduce `tokio::spawn` / background tasks unless explicitly requested.
+
+### 11.6 Error Semantics Integrity
+
+- Do not replace structured errors with generic strings.
+- Do not widen/narrow error types or change error categories without explicit approval.
+- Avoid introducing panics in production paths (`unwrap`, `expect`) unless the codebase already treats that path as impossible and documented.
+
+### 11.7 “No New Abstractions” Default
+
+Default stance:
+- No new traits, generics, macros, builder patterns, type-level cleverness, or “frameworking”.
+- If abstraction is necessary, prefer the smallest possible local helper (private function) and justify it.
+
+### 11.8 Negative-Diff Protection
+
+Avoid “diff inflation” patterns:
+- mass edits,
+- moving code between files,
+- rewrapping long lines,
+- rearranging module order,
+- renaming for aesthetics.
+
+If a diff becomes large, STOP and ask before proceeding.
+
+### 11.9 Consistency with Existing Style (But Not Style Refactors)
+
+- Follow existing conventions of the touched module (naming, error style, return patterns).
+- Do not enforce global “best practices” that the codebase does not already use.
+
+### 11.10 Two-Phase Safety Gate (Plan → Patch)
+
+For non-trivial changes:
+1) Provide a micro-plan (1–5 bullets): what files, what functions, what invariants, what risks.
+2) Implement exactly that plan—no extra improvements.
+
+### 11.11 Pre-Response Checklist (Hard Gate)
+
+Before final output, verify internally:
+
+- No unresolved symbols / broken imports.
+- No partially updated call sites.
+- No new public surface changes unless requested.
+- No transitional states / TODO placeholders replacing working code.
+- Changes are atomic: the repository remains buildable and runnable.
+- Any behavior change is explicitly stated.
+
+If any check fails: fix it before responding.
+
+### 11.12 Truthfulness Policy (No Hallucinated Claims)
+
+- Do not claim “this compiles” or “tests pass” unless you actually verified with the available tooling/context.
+- If verification is not possible, state: “Not executed; reasoning-based consistency check only.”
+
+### 11.13 Visionary Guardrail: Preserve Optionality
+
+When multiple valid designs exist, prefer the one that:
+- minimally constrains future evolution,
+- preserves existing extension points,
+- avoids locking the project into a new paradigm,
+- keeps interfaces stable and implementation local.
+
+Default to reversible changes.
+
+### 11.14 Stop Conditions
+
+STOP and ask targeted questions if:
+- required context is missing,
+- a change would cross module boundaries,
+- a contract might change,
+- concurrency/protocol invariants are unclear,
+- the diff is growing beyond a minimal patch.
+
+No guessing.
+
+### 12. Invariant Preservation
+
+You MUST explicitly preserve:
+- Thread-safety guarantees (`Send` / `Sync` expectations).
+- Memory safety assumptions (no hidden `unsafe` expansions).
+- Lock ordering and deadlock invariants.
+- State machine correctness (no new invalid transitions).
+- Backward compatibility of serialized formats (if applicable).
+
+If a change touches concurrency, networking, protocol logic, or state machines,
+you MUST explain why existing invariants remain valid.
+
+### 13. Error Handling Policy
+
+- Do not replace structured errors with generic strings.
+- Preserve existing error propagation semantics.
+- Do not widen or narrow error types without approval.
+- Avoid introducing panics in production paths.
+- Prefer explicit error mapping over implicit conversions.
+
+### 14. Test Safety
+
+- Do not modify existing tests unless the task explicitly requires it.
+- Do not weaken assertions.
+- Preserve determinism in testable components.
+
+### 15. Security Constraints
+
+- Do not weaken cryptographic assumptions.
+- Do not modify key derivation logic without explicit request.
+- Do not change constant-time behavior.
+- Do not introduce logging of secrets.
+- Preserve TLS/MTProto protocol correctness.
+
+### 16. Logging Policy
+
+- Do not introduce excessive logging in hot paths.
+- Do not log sensitive data.
+- Preserve existing log levels and style.
+
+### 17. Pre-Response Verification Checklist
+
+Before producing the final answer, verify internally:
+
+- The change compiles conceptually.
+- No unresolved symbols exist.
+- All modified call sites are updated.
+- No accidental behavioral changes were introduced.
+- Architectural boundaries remain intact.
+
+### 18. Atomic Change Principle
+Every patch must be **atomic and production-safe**.
+* **Self-contained** — no dependency on future patches or unimplemented components.
+* **Build-safe** — the project must compile successfully after the change.
+* **Contract-consistent** — no partial interface or behavioral changes; all dependent code must be updated within the same patch.
+* **No transitional states** — no placeholders, incomplete refactors, or temporary inconsistencies.
+
+**Invariant:** After any single patch, the repository remains fully functional and buildable.

-
-- If anything is unclear, STOP and ask specific, targeted questions before proceeding.
-- List exactly what is ambiguous and offer possible interpretations for the user to choose from.
-- Prefer clarification over assumptions. Do not guess intent, behavior, or missing requirements.
-- Actively ask questions before making architectural or behavioral changes.
-
----
-
-### 5. Warnings and Unused Code
-
-- Leave all warnings, unused variables, functions, imports, and dead code untouched unless explicitly instructed to modify them.
-- These may be intentional or part of work-in-progress code.
-- `todo!()` and `unimplemented!()` are permitted and should not be removed or replaced unless explicitly instructed.
-
----
-
-### 6. Architectural Integrity
-
-- Preserve existing architecture unless explicitly instructed to refactor.
-- Do not introduce hidden behavioral changes.
-- Do not introduce implicit refactors.
-- Keep changes minimal, isolated, and intentional.
-
----
-
-### 7. When Modifying Code
-
-You MUST:
-
-- Maintain architectural consistency with the existing codebase.
-- Document non-obvious logic with comments that describe *why*, not *what*.
-- Limit changes strictly to the requested scope (plus coordinated fixes per Section 0).
-- Keep all existing symbol names unless renaming is explicitly requested.
-- Preserve global formatting as-is.
-
-You MUST NOT:
-
-- Use placeholders: no `// ... rest of code`, no `// implement here`, no `/* TODO */` stubs that replace existing working code. Write full, working implementation. If the implementation is unclear, ask first.
-- Refactor code outside the requested scope.
-- Make speculative improvements.
-
-Note: `todo!()` and `unimplemented!()` are allowed as idiomatic Rust markers for genuinely unfinished code paths.
-
----
-
-### 8. Decision Process for Complex Changes
-
-When facing a non-trivial modification, follow this sequence:
-
-1. **Clarify**: Restate the task in one sentence to confirm understanding.
-2. **Assess impact**: Identify which modules, types, and invariants are affected.
-3. **Propose**: Describe the intended change before implementing it.
-4. **Implement**: Make the minimal, isolated change.
-5. **Verify**: Explain why the change preserves existing behavior and architectural integrity.
-
----
-
-### 9. Context Awareness
-
-- When provided with partial code, assume the rest of the codebase exists and functions correctly unless stated otherwise.
-- Reference existing types, functions, and module structures by their actual names as shown in the provided code.
-- When the provided context is insufficient to make a safe change, request the missing context explicitly.
-
----
-
-### 10. Response Format
-
-#### Language Policy
-
-- Code, comments, commit messages, documentation: **English**.
-- Reasoning and explanations in response text: **Russian**.
-
-#### Response Structure
-
-Your response MUST consist of two sections:
-
-**Section 1: `## Reasoning` (in Russian)**
-
-- What needs to be done and why.
-- Which files and modules are affected.
-- Architectural decisions and their rationale.
-- Potential risks or side effects.
-
-**Section 2: `## Changes`**
-
-- For each modified or created file: the filename on a separate line in backticks, followed by the code block.
-- For files **under 200 lines**: return the full file with all changes applied.
-- For files **over 200 lines**: return only the changed functions/blocks with at least 3 lines of surrounding context above and below. If the user requests the full file, provide it.
-- New files: full file content.
-- End with a suggested git commit message in English.
-
-#### Reporting Out-of-Scope Issues
-
-If during modification you discover issues outside the requested scope (potential bugs, unsafe code, architectural concerns, missing error handling, unused imports, dead code):
-
-- Do not fix them silently.
-- List them under `## ⚠️ Out-of-scope observations` at the end of your response.
-- Include: file path, line/function context, brief description of the issue, and severity estimate.
-
-#### Splitting Protocol
-
-If the response exceeds the output limit:
-
-1. End the current part with: **SPLIT: PART N — CONTINUE? (remaining: file_list)**
-2. List the files that will be provided in subsequent parts.
-3. Wait for user confirmation before continuing.
-4. No single file may be split across parts.

 # Telemt - MTProxy on Rust + Tokio
 
+***Löst Probleme, bevor andere überhaupt wissen, dass sie existieren*** / ***It solves problems before others even realize they exist***
+
 **Telemt** is a fast, secure, and feature-rich server written in Rust: it fully implements the official Telegram proxy algo and adds many production-ready improvements such as connection pooling, replay protection, detailed statistics, masking from "prying" eyes

-18 февраля мы опубликовали `telemt 3.0.3`, он имеет:
+#### Релиз 3.0.15 — 25 февраля
 
-- улучшенный механизм Middle-End Health Check
-- высокоскоростное восстановление инициализации Middle-End
-- меньше задержек на hot-path
-- более корректную работу в Dualstack, а именно - IPv6 Middle-End
-- аккуратное переподключение клиента без дрифта сессий между Middle-End
-- автоматическая деградация на Direct-DC при массовой (>2 ME-DC-групп) недоступности Middle-End
-- автодетект IP за NAT, при возможности - будет выполнен хендшейк с ME, при неудаче - автодеградация
-- единственный известный специальный DC=203 уже добавлен в код: медиа загружаются с CDN в Direct-DC режиме
+25 февраля мы выпустили версию **3.0.15**
 
-[Здесь вы можете найти релиз](https://github.com/telemt/telemt/releases/tag/3.0.3)
+Мы предполагаем, что она станет завершающей версией поколения 3.0 и уже сейчас мы рассматриваем её как **LTS-кандидата** для версии **3.1.0**!
 
-Если у вас есть компетенции в асинхронных сетевых приложениях, анализе трафика, реверс-инжиниринге или сетевых расследованиях - мы открыты к идеям и pull requests!
+После нескольких дней детального анализа особенностей работы Middle-End мы спроектировали и реализовали продуманный режим **ротации ME Writer**. Данный режим позволяет поддерживать стабильно высокую производительность в long-run сценариях без возникновения ошибок, связанных с некорректной конфигурацией прокси

 ### 🇬🇧 EN
 
-On February 18, we released `telemt 3.0.3`. This version introduces:
+#### Release 3.0.15 — February 25
 
-- improved Middle-End Health Check method  
-- high-speed recovery of Middle-End init
-- reduced latency on the hot path  
-- correct Dualstack support: proper handling of IPv6 Middle-End  
-- *clean* client reconnection without session "drift" between Middle-End
-- automatic degradation to Direct-DC mode in case of large-scale (>2 ME-DC groups) Middle-End unavailability  
-- automatic public IP detection behind NAT; first - Middle-End handshake is performed, otherwise automatic degradation is applied  
-- known special DC=203 is now handled natively: media is delivered from the CDN via Direct-DC mode  
+On February 25, we released version **3.0.15**
 
-[Release is available here](https://github.com/telemt/telemt/releases/tag/3.0.3)
+We expect this to become the final release of the 3.0 generation and at this point, we already see it as a strong **LTS candidate** for the upcoming **3.1.0** release!
 
-If you have expertise in asynchronous network applications, traffic analysis, reverse engineering, or network forensics - we welcome ideas and pull requests!
+After several days of deep analysis of Middle-End behavior, we designed and implemented a well-engineered **ME Writer rotation mode**. This mode enables sustained high throughput in long-run scenarios while preventing proxy misconfiguration errors
 
+We are looking forward to your feedback and improvement proposals — especially regarding **statistics** and **UX**

+## Purpose
+Control-plane HTTP API for runtime visibility and user/config management.
+Data-plane MTProto traffic is out of scope.
+
+## Runtime Configuration
+API runtime is configured in `[server.api]`.
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables REST API listener. |
+| `listen` | `string` (`IP:PORT`) | `127.0.0.1:9091` | API bind address. |
+| `whitelist` | `CIDR[]` | `127.0.0.1/32, ::1/128` | Source IP allowlist. Empty list means allow all. |
+| `auth_header` | `string` | `""` | Exact value for `Authorization` header. Empty disables header auth. |
+| `request_body_limit_bytes` | `usize` | `65536` | Maximum request body size. |
+| `minimal_runtime_enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables runtime snapshot endpoints requiring ME pool read-lock aggregation. |
+| `minimal_runtime_cache_ttl_ms` | `u64` | `1000` | Cache TTL for minimal snapshots. `0` disables cache. |
+| `read_only` | `bool` | `false` | Disables mutating endpoints. |
+
+`server.admin_api` is accepted as an alias for backward compatibility.
+
+## Protocol Contract
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Transport | HTTP/1.1 |
+| Content type | `application/json; charset=utf-8` |
+| Prefix | `/v1` |
+| Optimistic concurrency | `If-Match: <revision>` on mutating requests (optional) |
+| Revision format | SHA-256 hex of current `config.toml` content |
+
+### Success Envelope
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "data": {},
+  "revision": "sha256-hex"

+## Как настроить канал "спонсор прокси"
+
+1. Зайти в бота @MTProxybot.
+2. Ввести команду `/newproxy`
+3. Отправить IP и порт сервера. Например: 1.2.3.4:443
+4. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`.
+5. Скопировать и отправить боту секрет пользователя из раздела [access.users].
+6. Скопировать полученный tag у бота. Например 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.
+> [!WARNING]
+> Ссылка, которую выдает бот, не будет работать. Не копируйте и не используйте её!
+7. Раскомментировать параметр ad_tag и вписать tag, полученный у бота.
+8. Раскомментировать/добавить параметр use_middle_proxy = true.
+
+Пример конфига:
+```toml
+[general]
+ad_tag = "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef"
+use_middle_proxy = true
+```
+9.  Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X.
+10. Перезапустить telemt `systemctl restart telemt`.
+11. В боте отправить команду /myproxies и выбрать добавленный сервер.
+12. Нажать кнопку "Set promotion".
+13. Отправить **публичную ссылку** на канал. Приватный канал добавить нельзя!
+14. Подождать примерно 1 час, пока информация обновится на серверах Telegram.
+> [!WARNING]
+> У вас не будет отображаться "спонсор прокси" если вы уже подписаны на канал.
+
+## Сколько человек может пользоваться 1 ссылкой
+
+По умолчанию 1 ссылкой может пользоваться сколько угодно человек.  
+Вы можете ограничить число IP, использующих прокси.
+```toml
+[access.user_max_unique_ips]
+hello = 1
+```
+Этот параметр ограничивает, сколько уникальных IP может использовать 1 ссылку одновременно. Если один пользователь отключится, второй сможет подключиться. Также с одного IP может сидеть несколько пользователей.
+
+## Как сделать несколько разных ссылок
+
+1. Сгенерируйте нужное число секретов `openssl rand -hex 16`
+2. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`
+3. Добавить новых пользователей.
+```toml
+[access.users]
+user1 = "00000000000000000000000000000001"
+user2 = "00000000000000000000000000000002"
+user3 = "00000000000000000000000000000003"
+```
+4. Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X. Перезапускать telemt не нужно.
+5. Получить ссылки через `journalctl -u telemt -n -g "links" --no-pager -o cat | tac`
+
+## Как посмотреть метрики
+
+1. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`
+2. Добавить следующие параметры
+```toml
+[server]
+metrics_port = 9090
+metrics_whitelist = ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128", "0.0.0.0/0"]
+```
+3. Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X.
+4. Метрики доступны по адресу SERVER_IP:9090/metrics. 
+> [!WARNING]
+> "0.0.0.0/0" в metrics_whitelist открывает доступ с любого IP. Замените на свой ip. Например "1.2.3.4"

+# Middle-End Proxy
+
+## KDF-Adressierung — Implementierungs-FAQ
+
+### Benötigt die C-Referenzimplementierung sowohl externe IP-Adresse als auch Port für die KDF?
+
+Ja.
+
+In der C-Referenzimplementierung werden **sowohl IP-Adresse als auch Port in die KDF einbezogen** — auf beiden Seiten der Verbindung.
+
+In `aes_create_keys()` enthält der KDF-Input:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- sowie Secret / Nonces
+
+Für IPv6:
+
+- IPv4-Felder werden auf 0 gesetzt
+- IPv6-Adressen werden ergänzt
+
+Die **Ports bleiben weiterhin Bestandteil der KDF**.
+
+> Wenn sich externe IP oder Port (z. B. durch NAT, SOCKS oder Proxy) von den erwarteten Werten unterscheiden, entstehen unterschiedliche Schlüssel — der Handshake schlägt fehl.
+
+---
+
+### Kann der Port aus der KDF ausgeschlossen werden (z. B. durch Port = 0)?
+
+**Nein!**
+
+Die C-Referenzimplementierung enthält **keine Möglichkeit, den Port zu ignorieren**:
+- `client_port` und `server_port` sind fester Bestandteil der KDF
+- Es werden immer reale Socket-Ports übergeben:
+  - `c->our_port`

+
+## KDF Addressing — Implementation FAQ
+
+### Does the C-implementation require both external IP address and port for the KDF?
+
+**Yes!**
+
+In the C reference implementation, **both IP address and port are included in the KDF input** from both sides of the connection.
+
+Inside `aes_create_keys()`, the KDF input explicitly contains:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- followed by shared secret / nonces
+
+For IPv6:
+
+- IPv4 fields are zeroed
+- IPv6 addresses are inserted
+
+However, **client_port and server_port remain part of the KDF regardless of IP version**.
+
+> If externally observed IP or port (e.g. due to NAT, SOCKS, or proxy traversal) differs from what the peer expects, the derived keys will not match and the handshake will fail.
+
+---
+
+### Can port be excluded from KDF (e.g. by using port = 0)?
+
+**No!**
+
+The C-implementation provides **no mechanism to ignore the port**:
+
+- `client_port` and `server_port` are explicitly included in the KDF input
+- Real socket ports are always passed:
+  - `c->our_port`
+  - `c->remote_port`
+
+If a port is `0`, it is still incorporated into the KDF as `0`.
+
+There is **no conditional logic to exclude ports**

+# Middle-End Proxy
+
+## KDF Addressing — FAQ по реализации
+
+### Требует ли C-референсная реализация KDF внешний IP и порт?
+
+**Да**
+
+В C-референсе **в KDF участвуют и IP-адрес, и порт** — с обеих сторон соединения.
+
+В `aes_create_keys()` в строку KDF входят:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- далее secret / nonces
+
+Для IPv6:
+
+- IPv4-поля заполняются нулями
+- добавляются IPv6-адреса
+
+Однако **порты client_port и server_port всё равно участвуют в KDF**.
+
+> Если внешний IP или порт (например, из-за NAT, SOCKS или прокси) не совпадает с ожидаемым другой стороной — ключи расходятся и handshake ломается.
+
+---
+
+### Можно ли исключить порт из KDF (например, установив порт = 0)?
+
+**Нет.**
+
+В C-референсе **нет механики отключения порта**.
+
+- `client_port` и `server_port` явно включены в KDF
+- Передаются реальные порты сокета:
+  - `c->our_port`
+  - `c->remote_port`
+
+Если порт равен `0`, он всё равно попадёт в KDF как `0`.
+
+Отдельной логики «игнорировать порт» не предусмотрено.

+## Wie Upstreams konfiguriert werden
+
+### Upstream-Schema
+
+| Feld | Gilt für | Typ | Pflicht | Default | Bedeutung |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `[[upstreams]].type` | alle Upstreams | `"direct" \| "socks4" \| "socks5"` | ja | n/a | Upstream-Transporttyp. |
+| `[[upstreams]].weight` | alle Upstreams | `u16` | nein | `1` | Basisgewicht für weighted-random Auswahl. |
+| `[[upstreams]].enabled` | alle Upstreams | `bool` | nein | `true` | Deaktivierte Einträge werden beim Start ignoriert. |
+| `[[upstreams]].scopes` | alle Upstreams | `String` | nein | `""` | Komma-separierte Scope-Tags für Request-Routing. |
+| `interface` | `direct` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | Interface-Name (z. B. `eth0`) oder lokale Literal-IP. |
+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | nein | `null` | Explizite Source-IP-Kandidaten (strikter Vorrang vor `interface`). |
+| `address` | `socks4` | `String` | ja | n/a | SOCKS4-Server (`ip:port` oder `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | Wird nur genutzt, wenn `address` als `ip:port` angegeben ist. |
+| `user_id` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | SOCKS4 User-ID für CONNECT. |
+| `address` | `socks5` | `String` | ja | n/a | SOCKS5-Server (`ip:port` oder `host:port`). |

+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | SOCKS5 Passwort. |
+
+### Runtime-Regeln (wichtig)
+
+1. Wenn `[[upstreams]]` fehlt, injiziert der Loader einen Default-`direct`-Upstream.
+2. Scope-Filterung basiert auf exaktem Token-Match:
+- mit Request-Scope -> nur Einträge, deren `scopes` genau dieses Token enthält;
+- ohne Request-Scope -> nur Einträge mit leerem `scopes`.
+3. Unter healthy Upstreams erfolgt die Auswahl per weighted random: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. Gibt es im gefilterten Set keinen healthy Upstream, wird zufällig aus dem gefilterten Set gewählt.
+5. `direct`-Bind-Auflösung:
+- zuerst `bind_addresses` (nur gleiche IP-Familie wie Target);
+- bei `interface` (Name) + `bind_addresses` wird jede Candidate-IP gegen Interface-Adressen validiert;
+- ungültige Kandidaten werden mit `WARN` verworfen;
+- bleiben keine gültigen Kandidaten übrig, erfolgt unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- wenn `bind_addresses` nicht passt, wird `interface` verwendet (Literal-IP oder Interface-Primäradresse).
+6. Für `socks4/socks5` mit Hostname-`address` ist Interface-Binding nicht unterstützt und wird mit Warnung ignoriert.
+7. Runtime DNS Overrides werden für Hostname-Auflösung bei Upstream-Verbindungen genutzt.
+8. Im ME-Modus wird der gewählte Upstream auch für den ME-TCP-Dial-Pfad verwendet.
+9. Im ME-Modus ist bei `direct` mit bind/interface die STUN-Reflection bind-aware für KDF-Adressmaterial.
+10. Im ME-Modus werden bei SOCKS-Upstream `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` für KDF verwendet, wenn gültig/öffentlich und gleiche IP-Familie.

+
+## How Upstreams Are Configured
+
+### Upstream schema
+
+| Field | Applies to | Type | Required | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `[[upstreams]].type` | all upstreams | `"direct" \| "socks4" \| "socks5"` | yes | n/a | Upstream transport type. |
+| `[[upstreams]].weight` | all upstreams | `u16` | no | `1` | Base weight for weighted-random selection. |
+| `[[upstreams]].enabled` | all upstreams | `bool` | no | `true` | Disabled entries are ignored at startup. |
+| `[[upstreams]].scopes` | all upstreams | `String` | no | `""` | Comma-separated scope tags for request-level routing. |
+| `interface` | `direct` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Interface name (e.g. `eth0`) or literal local IP for bind selection. |
+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | no | `null` | Explicit local source IP candidates (strict priority over `interface`). |
+| `address` | `socks4` | `String` | yes | n/a | SOCKS4 server endpoint (`ip:port` or `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Used only for SOCKS server `ip:port` dial path. |
+| `user_id` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS4 user ID for CONNECT request. |
+| `address` | `socks5` | `String` | yes | n/a | SOCKS5 server endpoint (`ip:port` or `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Used only for SOCKS server `ip:port` dial path. |
+| `username` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS5 username auth. |
+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS5 password auth. |
+
+### Runtime rules (important)
+
+1. If `[[upstreams]]` is omitted, loader injects one default `direct` upstream.
+2. Scope filtering is exact-token based:
+- when request scope is set -> only entries whose `scopes` contains that exact token;
+- when request scope is not set -> only entries with empty `scopes`.
+3. Healthy upstreams are selected by weighted random using: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. If no healthy upstream exists in filtered set, random selection is used among filtered entries.
+5. `direct` bind resolution order:
+- `bind_addresses` candidates (same IP family as target) first;
+- if `interface` is an interface name and `bind_addresses` is set, each candidate IP is validated against addresses currently assigned to that interface;
+- invalid candidates are dropped with `WARN`;
+- if no valid candidate remains, connection falls back to unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- if no `bind_addresses` candidate, `interface` is used (literal IP or resolved interface primary IP).
+6. For `socks4/socks5` with `address` as hostname, interface binding is not supported and is ignored with warning.
+7. Runtime DNS overrides are used for upstream hostname resolution.
+8. In ME mode, the selected upstream is also used for ME TCP dial path.
+9. In ME mode for `direct` upstream with bind/interface, STUN reflection logic is bind-aware for KDF source material.
+10. In ME mode for SOCKS upstream, SOCKS `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` is used for KDF when it is valid/public for the same family.

+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | нет | `null` | Явные кандидаты source IP (имеют приоритет над `interface`). |

+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Пароль SOCKS5 auth. |
+
+### Runtime-правила
+
+1. Если `[[upstreams]]` отсутствует, loader добавляет один upstream `direct` по умолчанию.
+2. Scope-фильтрация — по точному совпадению токена:
+- если scope запроса задан -> используются только записи, где `scopes` содержит такой же токен;
+- если scope запроса не задан -> используются только записи с пустым `scopes`.
+3. Среди healthy upstream используется weighted-random выбор: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. Если в отфильтрованном наборе нет healthy upstream, выбирается случайный из отфильтрованных.
+5. Порядок выбора bind для `direct`:
+- сначала `bind_addresses` (только IP нужного семейства);
+- если одновременно заданы `interface` (имя) и `bind_addresses`, каждый IP проверяется на принадлежность интерфейсу;
+- несовпадающие IP отбрасываются с `WARN`;
+- если валидных IP не осталось, используется unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- если `bind_addresses` не подходит, применяется `interface` (literal IP или адрес интерфейса).
+6. Для `socks4/socks5` с `address` в виде hostname интерфейсный bind не поддерживается и игнорируется с предупреждением.
+7. Runtime DNS overrides применяются к резолвингу hostname в upstream-подключениях.
+8. В ME-режиме выбранный upstream также используется для ME TCP dial path.
+9. В ME-режиме для `direct` upstream с bind/interface STUN-рефлексия выполняется bind-aware для KDF материала.
+10. В ME-режиме для SOCKS upstream используются `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` для KDF, если адрес валиден/публичен и соответствует IP family.

+# SNI-маршрутизация в xray-core / sing-box + TLS-fronting
+
+## Термины (в контексте этого кейса)
+
+- **TLS-fronting домен** — домен, который фигурирует в TLS ClientHello как **SNI** (например, `petrovich.ru`): он используется как "маска" на L7 и как ключ маршрутизации в прокси-роутере.
+- **xray-core / sing-box** — локальный или удалённый L7/TLS-роутер (прокси), который:
+  1) принимает входящее TCP/TLS-соединение,
+  2) читает TLS ClientHello,
+  3) извлекает SNI,
+  4) по SNI выбирает outbound/апстрим,
+  5) устанавливает новое TCP-соединение к целевому хосту уже **от себя**.
+- **SNI (Server Name Indication)** — поле в TLS ClientHello, где клиент Telegram сообщает доменное имя для "маскировки"
+- **DNS-resolve на стороне L7-роутера** — если выходной адрес задан доменом (или роутер решил "всё равно идти по SNI"), то DNS резолвится **на стороне xray/sing-box**, а не на стороне Telegram-клиента
+
+---
+
+## Ключевая идея: куда на самом деле идёт соединение решает не то, что вы указали клиенту, а то как L7-роутер трактует SNI
+
+Механика:
+
+1) Telegram-клиенту вы можете указать **IP/домен telemt**,как "сервер".
+2) Между клиентом и telemt стоит xray-core/sing-box, который принимает TCP, читает TLS ClientHello и видит **SNI=petrovich.ru**
+3) Дальше роутер говорит: "Вижу SNI - направить на апстрим/маршрут N"
+4) И устанавливает исходящее соединение не "по тому IP, который пользователь подразумевал", а **по домену из SNI** (или по сопоставлению SNI→outbound), используя для определния его IP собственный DNS-кеш или резолвер
+5) `petrovich.ru` по A-записи указывает **не на IP telemt**, а значит при L7-маршрутизации трафик уйдёт на "оригинальный" сайт за этим доменом, а не в telemt: Telegram-клиент, естественно, не сможет получить ожидаемое поведение, потому что ответить с handshake на той стороне некому
+
+---
+
+## Схема №1 "Как это НЕ работает"
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   |  (указан IP/домен telemt)
+   v
+telemt instance
+````
+
+Ожидание: "я указал telemt -> значит трафик попадёт в telemt" - **нет!**
+
+---
+
+## Схема №2. "Как это реально работает с TLS/L7-роутером и SNI"
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   | 1) TCP/TLS connection: 
+   |    - ClientHello: 
+   |      - SNI=petrovich.ru
+   v
+xray-core / sing-box / любой L7 router
+   |
+   | 2) читает ClientHello -> вытаскивает SNI
+   | 3) выбирает маршрут по SNI
+   | 4) делает DNS для petrovich.ru 
+   | 5) подключается к полученному IP по TLS с этим SNI
+   v
+"Оригинальный" сайт, A-запись которого не на telemt
+   |
+   X  не telemt -> Telegram-клиент не коннектится как ожидалось
+```
+
+---
+
+## Почему указанный в клиенте IP/домен telemt "не спасает"
+
+Потому что в таком режиме xray/sing-box выступает как **точка терминации TCP/TLS**, можно сказать - TLS-инспектор на уровне ClientHello, это означает:
+
+* TCP-сессия от Telegram-клиента заканчивается на xray/sing-box
+* Дальше создаётся **новая** TCP-сессия "от имени" xray/sing-box к апстриму
+* Выбор апстрима делается правилами роутинга, а в TLS-сценариях самый удобный и распространённый ключ — **SNI**
+
+То есть, "куда идти дальше" определяется логикой L7-роутера:
+
+* либо правилами вида `if SNI == petrovich.ru -> outbound X`,
+* либо более "автоматическим" поведением: `подключаться к тому хосту, который указан в SNI`,
+* плюс кэш DNS и собственные резолверы роутера
+
+---
+
+## Что именно извлекается из TLS ClientHello и почему этого достаточно
+
+TLS ClientHello отправляется **в начале** TLS-сессии и, в классическом TLS без ECH, содержит SNI в открытом виде.
+
+Упрощённо:
+
+```text
+ClientHello:
+  - supported_versions
+  - cipher_suites
+  - extensions:
+      - server_name: petrovich.ru   <-- SNI
+      - alpn: h2/http1.1/...
+      - ...
+```
+
+Роутеру не нужно расшифровывать трафик и завершать TLS "как сервер" — часто достаточно просто прочитать первые пакеты и распарсить ClientHello, чтобы получить SNI и принять решение
+
+---
+
+## Типовой алгоритм SNI-роутинга
+
+1. Принять входящий TCP.
+2. Подождать первые байты.
+3. Определить протокол:
+
+   * если видим TLS ClientHello → парсим SNI/ALPN
+4. Применить route rules:
+
+   * match по `server_name` / `domain` / `tls.sni`
+5. Выбрать outbound:
+
+   * direct / proxy / specific upstream / detour
+6. Установить исходящее соединение:
+
+   * либо на фиксированный IP:порт,
+   * либо на домен через DNS-resolve на стороне роутера
+7. Начать проксирование данных между входом и выходом
+
+---
+
+## Почему "A-запись фронтинг-домена не на telemt" ломает кейс
+
+### Ситуация
+
+* В ClientHello: `SNI = petrovich.ru`
+* DNS: `petrovich.ru -> 203.0.113.77`  - "оригинальный" сайт
+* telemt живёт на: `198.51.100.10`
+
+### Что делает роутер
+
+* Видит SNI `petrovich.ru`
+* Либо:
+
+  * (а) напрямую коннектится к `petrovich.ru:443`, резолвя A-запись в `203.0.113.77`,
+  * либо:
+  * (б) выбирает outbound, который указывает на `petrovich.ru` как destination,
+  * либо:
+  * (в) делает sniffing/override destination по SNI
+
+В итоге исходящий коннект идёт на `203.0.113.77:443`, а не на telemt!
+Другой сервер, другой протокол, другая логика, где telemt не участвует
+
+---
+
+## "Где именно происходит подмена destination на SNI"
+
+Это зависит от конфигурации, но типовые варианты:
+
+### Вариант A: outbound задан доменом (и он совпадает с SNI)
+
+Правило по SNI выбирает outbound, у которого destination задан доменом фронтинга, 
+тогда DNS резолвится на стороне роутера и вы уходите на "оригинальный" хост
+
+### Вариант B: destination override / sniffing
+
+Роутер "снифает" SNI и **перезаписывает** destination на домен из SNI (даже если вход изначально был на IP telemt),
+это особенно коварно: пользователь видит "я подключаюсь к IP telemt", но роутер после sniffing решает иначе
+
+### Вариант C: split DNS / кеш / независимый резолвер
+
+Даже если клиент "где-то" резолвит иначе, это не важно: конечный DNS для исходящего коннекта — на стороне xray/sing-box,
+который может иметь:
+
+* свой DoH/DoT,
+* свой кеш,
+* свои правила fake-ip / system resolver,
+* и, как следствие, своя "карта" **домен/SNI -> IP**
+
+---
+
+## Признаки того, что трафик "утёк на оригинал", а не попал в telemt
+
+* На стороне telemt отсутствуют входящие соединения/логи
+* На стороне роутера видно, что destination — домен фронтинга, а IP соответствует публичному сайту
+* TLS-метрики/сертификат на выходе соответствует "оригинальному" сайту в записах трафика
+* Telegram-клиент получает неожиданный тип ответов/ошибку handshaking/timeout в debug-режиме
+
+---
+
+## Best-practice решение для этого кейса: свой домен фронтинга + заглушка на telemt + Let's Encrypt
+
+### Цель
+
+Сделать так, чтобы:
+
+* SNI (фронтинг-домен) **резолвился в IP telemt**,
+* на IP telemt реально был TLS-сервис с валидным сертификатом под этот домен,
+* даже если кто-то "попробует открыть домен как сайт", он увидит нормальную заглушку, а не "пустоту"
+
+### Что это даёт
+
+* xray/sing-box, маршрутизируя по SNI, будет неизбежно приходить на telemt, потому что DNS(SNI-домен) → IP telemt
+* Внешний вид будет правдоподобным: обычный домен с обычным сертификатом
+* Устойчивость: меньше сюрпризов от DNS-кеша/перерезолва/"умных" правил роутера
+
+---
+
+## Рекомендуемая схема (целевое состояние)
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   | TLS ClientHello: SNI = hello.example.com
+   v
+xray-core / sing-box
+   |
+   | Route by SNI -> outbound -> connect to hello.example.com:443
+   | DNS(hello.example.com) = IP telemt
+   v
+telemt instance (IP telemt)
+   |
+   | TLS cert for hello.example.com (Let's Encrypt)
+   | + сайт-заглушка / health endpoint
+   v
+OK
+```
+
+---
+
+## Практический чеклист (минимальный)
+
+1. Купить/иметь домен: `hello.example.com`
+2. В DNS:
+
+   * `A hello.example.com -> <IP telemt>`
+   * (опционально) AAAA, если используете IPv6 и он стабилен
+3. На telemt-хосте:
+
+   * поднять TLS endpoint на 443 с валидным сертификатом LE под `hello.example.com`
+   * отдать "заглушку" (например, статический сайт), чтобы домен выглядел как обычный веб-сервис
+4. В xray/sing-box правилах:
+
+   * маршрутизировать нужный трафик по SNI = `hello.example.com` в "правильный" outbound (к telemt)
+   * избегать конфигураций, где destination override уводит на чужой домен
+5. Важно:
+
+   * если вы используете кеш DNS на роутере — сбросить/обновить его после смены A-записи
+
+---
+
+## Пояснение про сайт-заглушку
+
+Для эмуляции TLS, telemt имеет подсистему TLS-F в `src/tls_front`:
+- её модуль - fetcher, собирает TLS-профили, чтоб максимально поведенчески корректно повторять TLS конкретно указанного сайта
+
+Когда вы указываете сайт, который не отвечает по TLS:
+- fetcher не может собрать TLS-профиль и происходит fallback на `fake_cert_len` - примитивный алгоритм,
+- он забивает служебную информацию TLS рандомными байтами,
+- простые системы DPI не распознают это
+- однако, продвинутые системы, такие как nEdge или Fraud Control в сетях мобильной связи легко заблокируют или замедлят такой трафик
+
+Создав сайт-заглушку с Let's Encrypt сертификатом, вы даёте TLS-F возможность получить данные сертификата и корректно его "повторять" в дальнейшем
+
+---
+
+## Вариант конфиг-подхода: "SNI строго привязываем к telemt - фиксированный IP"
+
+Чтобы полностью исключить зависимость от DNS если вам это нужно, можно сделать outbound, который ходит на **фиксированный IP telemt**, но при этом выставляет SNI/Host как `hello.example.com`.
+
+Идея:
+
+* destination: `IP:443`
+* SNI: `hello.example.com`
+* сертификат на telemt именно под `hello.example.com`
+
+Так вы получаете:
+
+* TLS выглядит корректно, ведь SNI совпадает с сертификатом,
+* а routing никогда не уйдёт на "оригинал", потому что A-запись указывает на telemt и контроллируется вами!
+
+Но в вашем описании проблема как раз в том, что роутер "сам решает по SNI и резолвит домен", поэтому самый универсальный вариант — сделать так, чтобы DNS всегда приводил в telemt
+
+---
+
+## Пример логики правил на псевдоконфиге L7-роутера
+
+```text
+if inbound is TLS and sni == "hello.example.com":
+    route -> outbound "telemt"
+else:
+    route -> outbound "default"
+```
+
+Outbound `telemt`:
+
+* destination: `hello.example.com:443`
+* TLS enabled
+* SNI: `hello.example.com`
+
+---
+
+## Отдельно: что может неожиданно сломать даже "правильный" DNS
+
+* **Кеширование DNS** на xray/sing-box или на системном резолвере, особенно при смене A-записи
+* **Split-horizon DNS**: разные ответы внутри/снаружи, попытки подмены/терминирования в других точках
+* **IPv6**: если есть AAAA и он указывает не туда, роутер может предпочесть IPv6: помните, что поддержка v6 нестабильна и не рекомендуется в prod
+* **DoH/DoT** на роутере: он может резолвить не тем резолвером, которым вы проверяли
+
+Минимальная гигиена:
+
+* контролировать A/AAAA,
+* держать TTL разумным,
+* проверять, каким резолвером пользуется именно роутер,
+* при необходимости отключить/ограничить destination override
+
+---
+
+## Итог
+
+В режиме TLS-fronting с xray-core/sing-box как L7/TLS-роутером **SNI становится приоритетным "source-of-truth" для маршрутизации**
+
+Если фронтинг-домен по DNS указывает не на IP telemt, роутер честно уводит трафик на "оригинальный" сайт, потому что он строит исходящее соединение "по SNI"
+
+Надёжное решение для этого кейса:
+
+* использовать **свой домен** для фронтинга,
+* направить его **A/AAAA** на IP telemt,
+* поднять на telemt **TLS-сервис с Let’s Encrypt сертификатом** под этот домен,
+* (желательно) держать **сайт-заглушку**, чтобы 443 выглядел как обычный HTTPS
