 `handshake_failures_by_class` and `telemt_handshake_failures_by_class_total` describe the error kind. `handshake_failures_by_stage` and `telemt_handshake_failures_by_stage_total` describe where the same failure happened in the handshake state machine.
 This does not add a DPI verdict or any protocol decision. The stage is derived from the existing Telemt handshake control flow and is counted only when the existing handshake failure or timeout accounting path is reached.
 Fixed stage labels:
 | Stage | Meaning |

 telemt_handshake_failures_by_stage_total{stage="direct_mtproto"} 1
 telemt_handshake_failures_by_stage_total{stage="tls_post_serverhello_mtproto"} 2

 ## Runtime Reload Endpoints
 ### `POST /v1/system/reload`
 Loads the current on-disk config under the API mutation lock and submits an immutable config snapshot to Maestro. `If-Match` is optional and uses the same revision contract as `PATCH /v1/config`. An empty body defaults to `{"mode":"instant","failure_policy":"keep_new"}`.
 ```json
 {
  "mode": "drain",
  "timeout_secs": 30,
  "failure_policy": "rollback"
 }
 ```
 The endpoint returns `202` with `ReloadAccepted`. A concurrent non-terminal reload returns `409 reload_in_progress`. Config parsing or validation failure is reported before a command is submitted.
 ### `GET /v1/system/reload/{id}`
 Returns `ReloadStatus` with `state` equal to `accepted`, `preparing`, `activating`, `draining`, `succeeded`, `rolled_back`, or `failed`. Terminal statuses include `finished_at_epoch_secs`; failures include `error`. Successful activation may include `warnings` for old-generation cleanup failures and `deferred_process_fields` for process-owned settings.
 Runtime generation activation rebuilds statistics, upstream routing, replay and buffer state, TLS-front cache, IP tracking, admission/route state, and Middle-End orchestration. Per-user quota accounting is process-scoped and remains continuous across generations. API, metrics, client TCP/Unix listeners, PID ownership, and logging remain process-scoped; changed bind/path fields are reported as deferred and do not cause Maestro to invoke systemd, containerd, or another process supervisor.
 Reload preparation requires every configured TLS-front domain to have a non-default cached profile and requires a ready Middle-End pool when direct fallback is disabled. A candidate that does not satisfy either readiness condition fails without replacing the active generation.
 The revision is verified again after preparation. With `failure_policy=rollback`, a changed revision or revision read failure rolls the candidate back; with `failure_policy=keep_new`, the condition is reported in `warnings` and activation continues.

 ## logging.destination
  - **Constraints / validation**: Must be `stderr`, `syslog`, or `file`. `syslog` is supported only on Unix platforms. `file` requires `logging.path`.
  - **Description**: Selects the runtime log destination. CLI flags override this value.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [logging]
    destination = "file"
    path = "/var/log/telemt.log"
    ```
 ## logging.path
  - **Constraints / validation**: Required when `logging.destination = "file"`; must not be empty.
  - **Description**: File path used for file logging. With time rotation, the file name is used as the rolling prefix.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [logging]
    destination = "file"
    path = "/var/log/telemt.log"
    ```
 ## logging.rotation
  - **Constraints / validation**: Must be `never`, `minutely`, `hourly`, `daily`, or `weekly`.
  - **Description**: Time-based file rotation interval. `weekly` rotates at the Sunday UTC boundary. `never` writes to the exact `logging.path` unless size rotation is enabled.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [logging]
    destination = "file"
    path = "/var/log/telemt.log"
    rotation = "daily"
    ```
 ## logging.max_size_bytes
  - **Constraints / validation**: `0` disables size rotation.
  - **Description**: Rotates file logs before writing the next record when the active file is non-empty and that record would exceed this byte limit. Records are written whole and are not split.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [logging]
    destination = "file"
    path = "/var/log/telemt.log"
    max_size_bytes = 104857600
    ```
 ## logging.max_files
  - **Constraints / validation**: `0` disables count-based retention.
  - **Description**: Keeps at most this many matching file logs, counting the active file and rotated archives. The active file is never deleted by retention cleanup.
  - **Example**:

  - **Constraints / validation**: `String`. Empty or omitted means do not change kernel MSS. Presets: `"extreme-low"` = `88`, `"tspu"` = `92`, `"2in8"` = `256`. Custom decimal strings must be within `88..=4096`.
  - **Description**: Client-facing TCP MSS applied to TCP listener sockets before `listen(2)`, so Linux can announce it in SYN/ACK.

  - **Operator note**: The two-tier `synlimit` profile does not require Telemt to disable MSS automatically. Operators that follow external host-tuning recipes should decide explicitly whether to leave MSS shaping enabled for handshake fragmentation or disable it for higher media throughput.
  - **Performance note**: Low MSS increases packet count predictably. Approximate segment multiplier is `ceil(1460 / client_mss)`.

  - **Description**: Optional bulk-phase MSS. When set, the low `client_mss` is applied only while the TLS handshake (including the DPI-inspected ServerHello) is sent; once the connection transitions to relaying, the client socket MSS is raised to `client_mss_bulk` for the bulk data phase. This keeps the anti-DPI handshake fragmentation but restores normal-size packets for payload, cutting outgoing packets-per-second by roughly the `client_mss` segment multiplier (e.g. ~10x with `"tspu"`). Useful on hosts whose abuse detection counts packets-per-second rather than bandwidth. When empty/omitted, the handshake MSS is kept for the whole connection (previous behavior). Linux only; a no-op elsewhere.

 ## synlimit (server.listeners)
  - **Constraints / validation**: `false`, `"iptables"`, or `"nftables"`. Omitted or `false` disables SYN limiting for this listener.
  - **Description**: Installs per-listener Linux netfilter two-tier SYN-fix rules for the listener port. `"iptables"` uses `iptables`/`ip6tables` filter rules with the `hashlimit`, `length`, and TTL/hop-limit matches. `"nftables"` uses Telemt-owned tables with per-source `meter` rules and equivalent IPv4/IPv6 classifiers. Rules are inserted early in `INPUT`, accept under-limit SYN packets, and reject over-limit SYN packets with TCP RST so clients retry promptly instead of waiting for a silent DROP timeout. The generic bucket is controlled by `synlimit_seconds`, `synlimit_hitcount`, and `synlimit_burst`; the iOS-like TTL/length bucket is controlled by `synlimit_ios_*`. Rules are reconciled at runtime and removed during graceful Telemt shutdown; `SIGKILL` cannot be cleaned up by the process. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN. `synlimit*` changes hot-reload for existing listener endpoints; changing listener `ip` or `port` still requires restart/rebind.
  - **Operator note**: Telemt does not persist rules with `iptables-persistent`, write `/etc/sysctl.d`, edit systemd limits, or modify `client_mss`. Apply host-level tuning manually if your deployment policy requires it.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [[server.listeners]]
    ip = "0.0.0.0"
    port = 443
    synlimit = "iptables"
    [[server.listeners]]
    ip = "::"
    port = 443
    synlimit = "nftables"
    ```
 ## synlimit_seconds (server.listeners)
  - **Constraints / validation**: `u32`, must be `> 0`. Default is `60`.
  - **Description**: Generic SYN-fix token-bucket interval. The rate is `synlimit_hitcount / synlimit_seconds` and is rendered to native netfilter rate units (`second`, `minute`, `hour`, or `day`). This bucket handles SYN packets that do not match the iOS-like TTL/length classifier.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [[server.listeners]]
    ip = "0.0.0.0"
    port = 443
    synlimit = "iptables"
    synlimit_seconds = 60
    ```
 ## synlimit_hitcount (server.listeners)
  - **Constraints / validation**: `u32`, must be `> 0`. Default is `48`.
  - **Description**: Generic SYN-fix token-bucket rate amount. Together with `synlimit_seconds`, it defines the allowed source-IP SYN rate before excess SYN packets receive TCP RST.
  - **Example**:
    ```toml
    [[server.listeners]]
    ip = "0.0.0.0"
    port = 443
    synlimit = "iptables"
    synlimit_hitcount = 48
    ```
 ## synlimit_burst (server.listeners)
  - **Constraints / validation**: `u32`, must be `> 0`. Default is `1`.
  - **Description**: Generic SYN-fix token-bucket burst size. Higher values allow short connection bursts from the same source IP before the steady-state `synlimit_hitcount / synlimit_seconds` rate is enforced.
  - **Example**:

  - **Описание**: Необязательный MSS для bulk-фазы. Если задан, низкий `client_mss` применяется только на время TLS-handshake (включая инспектируемый DPI ServerHello); как только соединение переходит в фазу relay, MSS клиентского сокета поднимается до `client_mss_bulk` для передачи полезной нагрузки. Так сохраняется anti-DPI фрагментация handshake, но для данных возвращаются пакеты нормального размера — это снижает исходящий packets-per-second примерно во столько раз, каков segment multiplier у `client_mss` (например, ~10x для `"tspu"`). Полезно на хостингах, где abuse-детекция считает packets-per-second, а не полосу. Если пусто/не задано — MSS handshake сохраняется на всё соединение (прежнее поведение). Только Linux; на прочих платформах — no-op.

 ## synlimit (server.listeners)
  - **Ограничения / валидация**: `false`, `"iptables"` или `"nftables"`. Если параметр не задан или задан как `false`, SYN limiter для этого listener’а выключен.
  - **Описание**: Устанавливает per-listener Linux netfilter two-tier SYN-fix rules для порта listener’а. `"iptables"` использует `iptables`/`ip6tables` filter rules с `hashlimit`, `length` и TTL/hop-limit matches. `"nftables"` использует Telemt-owned tables с per-source `meter` rules и эквивалентными IPv4/IPv6 classifiers. Rules вставляются рано в `INPUT`, принимают under-limit SYN packets и отвечают TCP RST на over-limit SYN packets, чтобы клиент быстро переподключался вместо ожидания silent DROP timeout. Generic bucket управляется `synlimit_seconds`, `synlimit_hitcount` и `synlimit_burst`; iOS-like TTL/length bucket управляется `synlimit_ios_*`. Rules reconciled at runtime и удаляются при graceful shutdown Telemt; `SIGKILL` процессом не очищается. Требует CAP_NET_ADMIN. Изменения `synlimit*` hot-reload’ятся для существующих listener endpoints; изменение listener `ip` или `port` по-прежнему требует restart/rebind.
  - **Operator note**: Telemt не сохраняет rules через `iptables-persistent`, не пишет `/etc/sysctl.d`, не меняет systemd limits и не модифицирует `client_mss`. Host-level tuning применяется оператором вручную.
  - **Пример**:
    ```toml

+  - **Описание**: Лимиты скорости для подсетей источников, применяются поверх пользовательских ограничений. Explicit CIDR-правила используют longest-prefix-wins и имеют приоритет над auto-template. Auto-template создают bucket’ы лениво по matched source subnet: `*4/N` для IPv4, `*6/N` для IPv6, а `*/N` является dual-stack shorthand, где IPv4 использует `/N`, а IPv6 — `/(N * 4)`.

Andrey Osipuk	50b67a93d6	feat(server): client_mss_bulk — raise MSS after handshake to cut pps client_mss (e.g. "tspu", MSS=92) fragments the whole connection to evade DPI on the ServerHello, but it also fragments bulk payload, multiplying outgoing packets-per-second ~10x. On hosts whose abuse detection counts pps (not bandwidth) this trips packet-flood limits. Add an optional [server].client_mss_bulk: keep the low client_mss for the handshake (ServerHello stays fragmented => DPI bypass intact), then raise the client socket MSS to client_mss_bulk once the connection enters the post-handshake (bulk transfer) phase, so bulk data uses normal-size segments and pps drops back to normal. Same preset/int grammar as client_mss. Opt-in: when unset, the handshake MSS is kept for the whole connection (unchanged behavior). Linux-only (setsockopt TCP_MAXSEG via raw fd, mirroring TCP_USER_TIMEOUT); no-op on other unix. Documented in CONFIG_PARAMS.{en,ru}.	2026-06-19 11:11:01 +03:00

Mirotin Artem	f1f46fac42	Fix config API corrupting nested sub-tables on save render_top_level_section serialized a section in isolation, so nested sub-tables ([general.links], [general.modes]) were emitted as bare [links]/[modes] top-level headers and duplicated on load. Serialize the section inside a wrapper keyed by its name to keep dotted headers. find_toml_table_bounds only spanned the first contiguous block, leaving scattered sub-tables behind as duplicates on repeated saves. Replace it with find_all_table_blocks and drop every block belonging to the section during upsert. show_link is a legacy top-level scalar/array, not a [table]; the upsert machinery appended a bare key at EOF (landing inside the previous table) and duplicated it on repeat. Remove it from EDITABLE_SECTIONS; the editable general.links.show sub-table covers the case. Add tests for dotted sub-tables, idempotent saves, non-contiguous layouts, show_link rejection, and integer/float/string coercion of public_port.	2026-06-15 09:49:47 +03:00
