It resolves with `{ text }` (the table for `list`, `''` otherwise) or `{ error }`, the message to print. A malformed call is `EINVAL`;

  - `net`: `listen({ port, host, backlog })` and `connect({ host, port, signal })` (`host` defaults to `127.0.0.1`) on the kernel's loopback, the same sockets WASIX programs use, so a JS server is reached by other processes, by the page as `<port>.kernel.localhost` (`loopbackFetch`, `dial`) and by attached clients. A listener has its `port` (as bound, so port `0` picks a free one), `accept({ signal })`, `close()` and `for await` over its connections. A connection has `local` and `remote` addresses, `readable` and `writable` web streams (closing the writable shuts down the sending side, so the peer reads the end), and `close()`. The loopback is IPv4 (`127.0.0.1` by default, or `0.0.0.0`), so an IPv6 host such as `::1` fails with `EADDRNOTAVAIL` for both `listen` and `connect`, and binding and connecting fail as they would for a WASIX program (`EADDRINUSE`, `ECONNREFUSED`, `EADDRNOTAVAIL`). `sync.net.listen` takes the same options and gives the same listener, bound and listening when it returns, so its `port` is known at once, as Node's `listen()` needs ([#1398](https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc-kernel/issues/1398)); it needs the sync lane. A blocked accept, read or write waits without holding anything in the kernel, so aborting it or closing the socket leaves nothing behind. A write to a connection the peer closed fails with `EPIPE` and no `SIGPIPE`;

- - `net.connect({ host, port, tls: { servername, alpn, rejectUnauthorized, ca, path, cert, key, passphrase, sni, checkHostname } })` takes one of two paths. By default it's **A1, TLS through the transport** ([#914](https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc-kernel/issues/914)), described first below. For a destination the uplink routes it can also be **A2, a TLS handshake in the kernel** ([#922](https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc-kernel/issues/922)), described after it. `conn.tls.path` (`'transport'` or `'kernel'`) and `conn.tls.substitutes` say which one was taken.

  - **What it does:** there's no handshake in the kernel. The connection carries plain HTTP/1.1 (and WebSocket upgrades) to the realm proxy's HTTP path for the origin `https://<servername or host>[:port]`, exactly as a `CONNECT` through `127.0.0.1:3128` does after the kernel terminates its TLS. The transport (the page's `fetch` or WebSocket, or the uplink's) makes the real TLS connection and verifies it. So `https.request` over a socket, keep-alive agents, `agent-base` and `wss://` clients work with the transport's semantics. That includes sealed placeholders in headers, which reach the transport exactly as from `ctx.fetch`.
459
459
  - **The `tls` property:** the connection's `tls` is `{ path: 'transport', substitutes: true, protocol: 'transport', alpnProtocol: 'http/1.1', authorized: true, servername }`. `authorized` means the transport verified the server. There's no peer certificate chain and no TLS version of the kernel's own, so don't read it as a real handshake's result.
460
460
  - **Options:** the transport always verifies, so `rejectUnauthorized: false` is accepted and changes nothing. Outside the uplink, a custom `ca` is refused (`ENOTSUP`), and so is an `alpn` list without `http/1.1` (`EPROTONOSUPPORT`). The kernel's own loopback never goes to the transport. A `host` of `localhost` or `127.x` makes the handshake in the kernel instead (Loopback, below), so with nothing listening it's `ECONNREFUSED`. The rest of it (`*.localhost`, `0.0.0.0`, `::1`, and any loopback `servername` for another host) is `ENOTSUP` at connect, as `ctx.fetch` refuses `https:` and `wss:` there. `host.slicc.internal` goes to the transport under its policy, as for `ctx.fetch`.

  - A server that requires a certificate and gets none refuses with an alert. On TLS 1.2 that fails the connect (`ERR_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE`). On TLS 1.3 the client's side of the handshake is already done, so the next read or write fails with `ERR_SSL_FATAL_ALERT`, as Node's fails after `secureConnect`.
504

  - **A fatal alert from the server**, at the handshake or after it, is in the error: its `detail` ends in ` (alert <n>)`, and a JS program's error has `alert: n`, the alert's description number (116 certificate_required, 40 handshake_failure).
505
+ - **`keylog: true`** ([#1504](https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc-kernel/issues/1504), tls-engine 4.2.0-10) gives the session's NSS key log lines as `conn.tls.keylog`, a frozen list of strings: `CLIENT_RANDOM …` on TLS 1.2, the four `…_TRAFFIC_SECRET…` lines on TLS 1.3, the lines Node's `keylog` event and `SSLKEYLOGFILE` carry. **They are the session's secrets: anyone holding them and a capture of the traffic can read it.** So a keylogged session is never sealed (`substitutes: false`; a placeholder goes out as written), and `keylog` on the transport path (A1, where the page makes the TLS) is `ENOTSUP`. Without `keylog` the engine collects nothing. The kernel wipes its copies once the lines are in the reply (the engine zeroes its buffer as it hands them out); the lines reach the program as JS strings, which can't be wiped, so they live as long as the program keeps them, as with its own `key`. A TLS server takes `keylog` too (`listen({ tls })`, `secure(conn, { server: true })`), for every connection it serves.

  - **`sni: false`** sends no server name. The leaf is still checked against `servername` exactly as with SNI.

  - **`checkHostname: false`** checks the chain (trust, validity, usage) but **not that the leaf names `servername`**. The connection reports `hostnameChecked: false`, and `hostnameMatches` says what the skipped check found.

  - **The caller must then check the server's identity itself**, as slicc-jsh does with Node's `checkServerIdentity` and `peerCertificates[0]`; pass it only when the program supplied one.
