Fixes
- Sturdier LAN proxy handshakes: HTTP and SOCKS5 handshakes split across reads or coalesced with data are handled correctly, and binary uploads stay intact.
- No more truncated responses after uploads: server responses arrive in full after the client finishes sending; idle half-closed connections are released after 60 seconds.
- Standards-compliant plain HTTP forwarding: proxy-only fields such as proxy credentials are no longer sent to websites, and requests on a reused connection no longer reach the wrong site.
Quality Assurance
- Physical hardware: the notarized build passed idle reuse, 2 MiB upload and network-interface switching in TUN and transparent proxy modes on a Mac mini, plus a cross-machine LAN proxy test.
- Hardened release gates: packaging now requires physical-hardware evidence bound to the notarized build, and UI performance profiles run a full 300 seconds.
