Summary

Brings the Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) proxy feature to mergeable, production-verified state, adds an end-to-end traffic test suite for the whole proxy system (L7 + L4), and fixes the real bugs that surfaced.

Feature

  • L4 proxies: TCP/UDP routing via the Caddy layer4 plugin — 9 matcher types (any/tls/ssh/postgres/http/rdp/socks5/remote_ip/regexp), load balancing, TLS passthrough/terminate, proxy-protocol. Full stack: model → repo → service → handler → routes, sync integration, RBAC, migrations, UI (list/create/detail + nested form), dashboard stats.
  • UI redesign (Copper theme, dashboard overhaul, branding) and audit-config security-event safeguards (carried on this branch).

Build/quality fixes

  • Docker build was broken: caddy-l4 v0.1.1 requires Caddy 2.11.3 but the builder image was pinned to 2.10.2 → bumped to caddy:2.11.3-builder and pinned caddy-l4@v0.1.1 so an upstream release can't silently break the build again.
  • Fixed the red UI lint gate (a11y errors in the ACL branding preview).

Proxy traffic E2E suite (make test-traffic)

A build-tagged (//go:build traffic) testcontainers suite that drives real traffic through Caddy — not just config generation. 13 scenarios:

  • L7 (HTTP via :80): reverse_proxy, round-robin LB, redirect, static, block_exploits, ACL basic-auth. (custom_headers covered in the stacked PR.)
  • L4 (raw connections): any/TCP echo, http matcher, round-robin LB, remote_ip allow/deny, postgres SELECT 1, TLS SNI passthrough.

Bugs the suite found and fixed

  • 🔴 ACL access-control bypass: basic-auth and IP allow/deny ACLs were silently dropped from the generated Caddy config whenever ACL_WAYGATES_LOGIN_URL was unset (its default) — a proxy could show auth configured while Caddy served it wide open. Now the ACL builder is always constructed; forward-auth additionally fails closed when its URLs are unset.
  • 🔴 L4 http matcher generated invalid Caddy config ({"http":{}} object vs the required caddy-l4 RawMatcherSets array) — sync 500'd and the entire layer4 app failed to load. Fixed to serialize as an array.

Test plan

  • make backend-test (unit) — green
  • make test-traffic (Docker required) — all L7 + L4 scenarios pass
  • pnpm --dir ui build + make lint-ui — green

Flag auth/acl events as security-critical with a Security badge, warn
inline and require confirmation before disabling them, and add a master
toggle, collapsible groups with enabled counts, per-key change tracking,
and skeleton/error states.

The decorative mock login labels in the live preview triggered Biome's
noLabelWithoutControl since they wrap no form control. They are inside an
aria-hidden block, so swap <label> for <span> to keep the lint gate green
without changing the rendered preview.

caddy-l4 v0.1.1 requires caddy/v2 >= v2.11.3, but the builder image was
pinned to caddy:2.10.2-builder, so 'xcaddy build --with .../caddy-l4'
failed with a version conflict and the deployable image could not be
built. Bump the builder to caddy:2.11.3-builder and pin caddy-l4 to
v0.1.1 so an upstream release can't silently break the build again.

Design for an opt-in, build-tagged suite that drives real traffic through
Caddy for both L7 (reverse_proxy/redirect/static + LB, ACL, block_exploits,
custom_headers) and L4 (any/http/postgres/tls-SNI/remote_ip + LB) proxies,
closing the gap where only config generation and the API were tested.

Add TestTraffic_L7 with the reverse_proxy subtest (replacing the
TestTraffic_Smoke placeholder). Also fix echoHostnameFromBody to read
the backend container hostname from os.hostname instead of the top-level
hostname field, which mendhak echo populates with the request Host header.

Adds a custom_headers subtest to TestTraffic_L7 asserting that a configured
custom response header (X-Test: waygates) is present on the proxied response.

Confirmed shape: models.Proxy.CustomHeaders is a flat JSONField
(map[string]interface{}) of {"Header-Name":"value"} (models/proxy.go:29),
not the nested {"response":{...}} shape the plan guessed.

NOTE: this test currently FAILS (red). The product injects custom_headers as
REQUEST headers to the upstream (caddy/config/http_builder.go:206-212) and never
as RESPONSE headers to the client, so X-Test never reaches the client. The test
correctly documents the intended contract; the implementation fix is out of
scope for this test-only task.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The traffic E2E surfaced that custom_headers are applied only as request
headers to the upstream (http_builder.go:206), so the response-header
assertion cannot pass yet. Skip with a clear pointer; un-skip once the
typed request/response custom-headers feature lands.

Adds the acl_basic_auth subtest to TestTraffic_L7, driving real traffic
through Caddy: unauthenticated GET -> 401, GET with valid Basic creds ->
200 reaching echo1.

Fixes a real product bug it surfaced: the sync service only constructed
the ACL builder when BOTH Waygates forward-auth URLs were set
(ACL_WAYGATES_LOGIN_URL defaults to empty), which silently disabled all
self-contained ACL methods (HTTP basic auth, IP allow/deny/bypass). The
ACL builder is now always created; the Waygates URLs are only consulted
by the forward-auth handler, which is still only emitted when a group
configures Waygates/OAuth/external-provider auth.

Add round_robin_lb subtest to TestTraffic_L4 verifying an L4 tcp proxy
with an http matcher and round_robin policy distributes connections
across two echo backends (echo1/echo2:8080).

Disable HTTP keep-alives in httpEchoHostname so each probe opens a fresh
TCP connection. Caddy's layer4 round_robin balances per connection, not
per request; without this the pooled keep-alive connection pinned all 10
requests to a single backend, masking the LB. Observed distribution with
the fix is an even 5/5 split.

When an ACL group enables Waygates forward-auth but ACL_WAYGATES_VERIFY_URL
is empty, the builder previously emitted a reverse_proxy upstream with
dial:"" which Caddy rejects, breaking the entire config reload. An empty
login URL similarly produced a host-less self-redirect loop on 401.

Guard both cases by emitting a static 503 deny response so the route fails
CLOSED (never proxies to a blank upstream, never loops), keeping behavior
unchanged when the URLs are set.

…ath-only scope

The L4 http matcher does protocol detection only: it matches any HTTP
connection and intentionally ignores sni_hostnames (SNI is a TLS concept;
HTTP host routing is L7). Document this on the http case in
MapMatcherTypeToL4Matcher and note that sni_hostnames is not restricted to
the tls matcher in validation (it is accepted but silently ignored for other
matcher types, by design, to avoid breaking existing data/clients).

Also note the known limitation that block_exploits rules match on URL path
only (path_regexp) and do not inspect query strings.

Adds both-direction custom headers (request to upstream + response to
client) with a flexible CustomHeaders type: flat map accepted as request
headers for back-compat, normalized to nested {request,response} on read,
no DB migration. Closes the gap the traffic E2E surfaced.

7-task TDD plan: flexible CustomHeaders model type, builder both-direction
header application, E2E un-skip asserting both directions, and UI request/
response header editors. Backward-compatible (flat map = request), no DB
migration.
