-## States
-
-| state | means |
-|---|---|
-| `IDLE` | No process, and one is expected — before the first run, or after a retry timer fired. |
-| `STARTING` | Spawned; this run has produced nothing servable yet. |
-| `PRODUCING` | This run has produced at least one servable segment. |
-| `SUSPENDED` | SIGSTOP delivered, process alive — and nothing is reading the input. |
-| `RETRY_WAIT` | The input went away; a restart is timed. Requests are held, not refused. |
-| `STOPPED` | Stopped on purpose with no replacement — a rung the viewer switched away from. |
-| `ENDED_COMPLETE` | Ran through the last segment of the file. Nothing is owed. |
-| `ENDED_FAILED` | Terminal for this target: requests are answered as failures. |
-
-## Events
-
-| event | means |
-|---|---|
-| `SPAWNED` | A process was spawned for this session. |
-| `FIRST_SEGMENT` | The first servable segment of this run was served. |
-| `SUSPEND_ORDERED` | SIGSTOP was delivered. |
-| `RESUME_ORDERED` | SIGCONT was sent. |
-| `STOP_ORDERED` | The run was stopped with no replacement. |
-| `EXITED_COMPLETE` | Exit 0, having produced through the last segment. |
-| `EXITED_SHORT` | Exit 0, short of the last segment — the input dried up. |
-| `EXITED_INPUT_LOST` | Died because the input was not there. Recoverable. |
-| `EXITED_FAILED` | Died for any other reason, or could not be spawned. |
-| `RETRY_DUE` | The input-retry timer fired. |
-
-## What each state answers
-
-Outputs depend on the state alone — computed here by calling the same
-functions the encoding component (`EncodeRuns`) calls.
-
-| state | reads its input | can be signalled | a missing segment | on the wire | may restart |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `IDLE` | no | no | hold | `starting` | yes |
-| `STARTING` | yes | yes | hold | `running` | yes |
-| `PRODUCING` | yes | yes | hold | `running` | yes |
-| `SUSPENDED` | no | yes | hold | `running` | yes |
-| `RETRY_WAIT` | no | no | hold | `starting` | yes |
-| `STOPPED` | no | no | hold | `running` | yes |
-| `ENDED_COMPLETE` | no | no | hold | `ready` | no |
-| `ENDED_FAILED` | no | no | fail | `failed` | yes |
-
-## Edges that must never exist
-
-The machine's real content: a near-complete digraph asserts nothing.
-
-| from | event | must not reach | because |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `SUSPENDED` | `FIRST_SEGMENT` | `PRODUCING` | a segment request must not release a suspended encoder — 2.9.93, where any request did, and the run sawtoothed from 155 s to 922 s ahead of the viewer in three minutes |
-| `ENDED_FAILED` | `FIRST_SEGMENT` | `PRODUCING` | a dead run is not a producing one — 2.9.93, where the handle pointed at a corpse and every later seek was waved through as already covered, so the session answered 500 for ever |
-| `ENDED_FAILED` | `RESUME_ORDERED` | `PRODUCING` | there is no process to continue; only a spawn leads out of a failure |
-| `IDLE` | `FIRST_SEGMENT` | `PRODUCING` | nothing produces before a process exists |
-| `RETRY_WAIT` | `FIRST_SEGMENT` | `PRODUCING` | a run waiting for its input back has no process; only a spawn resumes production |
-| `STOPPED` | `RESUME_ORDERED` | `PRODUCING` | a rung the viewer switched away from must not be revived by its own held requests — the host has one encoder's worth of capacity and the rung on screen needs it |

-Until 2026-09-13 the page's whole log went to the droplet's standard output,
-which every release of the server destroys. A viewer reported a desync and a

-moved to the proxy — beside the proxy's own, on the same durable directory.
-
-The split is by PHASE, and neither half is the whole session:
-
-1. **Before a transport exists** — the page opening, the proxy being chosen, a
-   connection failing — there is nowhere else to send it, so it goes to the
-   SERVER (`infra-server-1`);
-2. **From the moment the data channel is up**, the page's logger is given a
-   proxy sink (`loading.js`, `setProxySink`) and every batch goes to the PROXY
-   over that channel. This is the bulk of a viewing;
-3. **At unload** it goes to the server again: `navigator.sendBeacon` is the only
-   thing a page that is going away can use, and a data channel is not;
-4. **A batch that cannot reach the proxy** falls back to the server.
-
-So a session that failed while connecting is on the droplet, a session that
-failed while playing is on the addon host, and a complete reading of a long
-failure needs both.

-```
-
-A session that has not chosen a torrent yet writes `no-torrent-yet` in that

-torrent later does NOT start a second file. Rotated at 16 MB to `<name>.log.1`.

-# SOCKS5 torrent egress — feasibility research (NOT implemented)
-
-Research only (2026-07-10), no code. Question: can the proxy route its
-**torrent** traffic (peers, trackers, DHT) through an owner-configured SOCKS5
-endpoint (e.g. a VPN provider's) to hide the owner's home IP from the swarm,
-while WebRTC to the viewer stays direct? Roadmap item 8 in the root
-`CLAUDE.md`.
-
-Stack: WebTorrent 2.8.5, Node. Verified against
-`node_modules/webtorrent/lib/*.js` and `index.js`.
-
-## What "torrent traffic" actually is (and which parts can be SOCKS5'd)
-
-SOCKS5 forwards a connection through a relay so the destination sees the
-relay's IP, not ours. It supports TCP (CONNECT) and, in theory, UDP (UDP
-ASSOCIATE) — but UDP-ASSOCIATE is rarely usable from Node libraries that bind
-their own UDP sockets. So per traffic type:
-
-| Traffic | Transport | Where in WebTorrent | SOCKS5? |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Peer wire (outgoing) | TCP | `torrent.js` `net.connect(opts)` (~L2112) | **Yes** (TCP CONNECT) |
-| Peer wire (outgoing) | µTP (UDP) | `torrent.js` `utp.connect()` (~L2110) | No (UDP, own socket) → **disable** |
-| HTTP/HTTPS trackers | TCP | `bittorrent-tracker` (HTTP agent) | **Yes** (agent) |
-| WSS trackers | TCP (WebSocket) | `bittorrent-tracker` (ws agent) | **Yes** (agent) |
-| UDP trackers (`udp://`) | UDP | `bittorrent-tracker` | No → **drop** (filter announce list) |
-| DHT | UDP | `bittorrent-dht` | No → **disable** (`dht:false`) |
-| LSD (local peer discovery) | UDP multicast | conn-pool | LAN-only leak → **disable** (`lsd:false`) |
-| Incoming peers | TCP/µTP listener | conn-pool | N/A (inbound; see note) |
-
-Conclusion: a clean, leak-free config is **TCP-only through the SOCKS5 relay**
-with every UDP path turned OFF. This is the standard "torrent proxy" model and
-its standard caveat: you lose µTP peers, UDP trackers, and DHT peer discovery —
-peer counts drop, but HTTP/WSS-tracker swarms (like the rutracker trackers our
-test torrents use) still work, and TCP peers are plentiful.
-
-WebTorrent already exposes the needed off-switches (verified in `index.js`):
-`utp: false` (L82), `dht: false` (L127), `lsd: false` (L76), `webSeeds`
-(L161). Announce-list filtering to `http(s)://`/`wss://` is ours to do.
-
-## The hard part: no dialer hook for TCP peers
-
-WebTorrent has **no public option** to supply a custom socket/dialer for
-outgoing peer connections — it calls `net.connect(opts)` directly inside
-`torrent.js`. Three ways around it:
-
-### Approach A — userland, scoped monkeypatch of `net.connect` (+ disable UDP)
-Wrap `net.connect` so that for a **peer destination** it returns a socket
-tunneled through SOCKS5 (via the already-present `socks` package —
-`SocksClient.createConnection({ proxy, command:'connect', destination })`),
-and for everything else (our loopback HTTP server, the signalling tunnel,
-ffmpeg's `127.0.0.1` fetch, DNS) it calls the real `net.connect`.
-- The `socks` dep is ALREADY in `node_modules` (currently transitive) — would
-  become a direct dependency.
-- Shim detail: `net.connect` returns a socket synchronously and connects
-  async; `SocksClient.createConnection` is Promise-based. Need a small adapter
-  that returns a `net.Socket`-like duplex immediately and attaches the real
-  tunneled socket once the SOCKS handshake resolves (or emits `error`). The
-  `socks` package's event API supports this.
-- Scoping rule: SOCKS only for non-local IPv4/IPv6 destinations; NEVER for
-  `127.0.0.1`/`::1`/the tunnel host — otherwise we'd route our own control
-  plane through the VPN.
-- Trackers/webseeds (HTTP/WSS): pass a `socks-proxy-agent` as the HTTP/ws
-  agent to `bittorrent-tracker` / webseed fetches (need to confirm WebTorrent
-  threads an `agent` option through; may need a small patch).
-- Pros: no fork, no build-chain changes, deployment-agnostic. Cons: global
-  monkeypatch is delicate; must be airtight on the scoping rule.
-
-### Approach B — patch/fork WebTorrent to add a `createConnection` hook
-Add an option so `torrent.js` uses `opts.createConnection ?? net.connect`.
-Cleaner and explicit, but a fork to maintain (or an upstream PR — issue
-webtorrent#807 "SOCKS Proxy Support" is open and unresolved, so upstream is
-unlikely soon). More correct long-term if A proves too fragile.
-
-### Approach C — network-level (VPN container / namespace), NOT in-proxy
-Run the whole proxy process behind a VPN with a kill-switch (e.g. a `gluetun`
-sidecar container, or a Linux network namespace bound to the VPN). Catches
-ALL traffic — TCP, µTP, DHT, UDP trackers — leak-proof, zero proxy code.
-Trade-off: not per-app (the whole proxy egresses via VPN, including the
-signalling tunnel unless split), heavier ops, and awkward for the HA addon
-(`host_network: true`). This is the ROBUST alternative to document alongside;
-for a bare-Docker/npm operator it may actually be the better answer than
-in-proxy SOCKS5.
-
-## Kill-switch (fail-closed) — mandatory for the feature to mean anything
-If the SOCKS5 relay is down, torrent traffic must NOT silently fall back to a
-direct connection (that leaks the exact IP we set out to hide). With Approach
-A this is natural: a failed SOCKS handshake fails the peer connection with no
-direct retry, AND all UDP paths are already disabled, so nothing bypasses the
-relay. Must add a startup connectivity self-test + a clear log line
-(BitPlay's "test proxy" pattern), and surface "proxy down → torrent paused"
-rather than leaking.
-
-## Recommended direction (when we build it)
-1. Primary: **Approach A** — `socks` for TCP peers via a scoped `net.connect`
-   shim + `socks-proxy-agent` for HTTP/WSS trackers + webseeds, with
-   `utp:false`, `dht:false`, `lsd:false`, and announce-list filtered to
-   TCP-based trackers. Fail-closed by construction.
-2. Document **Approach C** (VPN container) in the addon/deployment docs as the

-3. Approach B only if A's monkeypatch proves too fragile in practice.
-
-## Open questions to resolve at build time (not now)
-- Does WebTorrent 2.8.x thread an `agent`/proxy option to `bittorrent-tracker`
-  and webseed fetches, or is a small patch needed there too?
-- `socks` socket-shim: cleanest way to present a pre-connect `net.Socket`
-  (custom Duplex vs a paused real socket) without confusing

-- Incoming peers: with UDP off and outbound via SOCKS, do we still accept

-  (accept that peer discovery becomes outbound-only) — decide per privacy goal.

+# SOCKS5 torrent egress — feasibility research (NOT implemented)
+
+Research only (2026-07-10), no code. Question: can the proxy route its
+**torrent** traffic (peers, trackers, DHT) through an owner-configured SOCKS5
+endpoint (e.g. a VPN provider's) to hide the owner's home IP from the swarm,
+while WebRTC to the viewer stays direct? Roadmap item 8 in the root
+`CLAUDE.md`.
+
+Stack: WebTorrent 2.8.5, Node. Verified against
+`node_modules/webtorrent/lib/*.js` and `index.js`.
+
+## What "torrent traffic" actually is (and which parts can be SOCKS5'd)
+
+SOCKS5 forwards a connection through a relay so the destination sees the
+relay's IP, not ours. It supports TCP (CONNECT) and, in theory, UDP (UDP
+ASSOCIATE) — but UDP-ASSOCIATE is rarely usable from Node libraries that bind
+their own UDP sockets. So per traffic type:
+
+| Traffic | Transport | Where in WebTorrent | SOCKS5? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Peer wire (outgoing) | TCP | `torrent.js` `net.connect(opts)` (~L2112) | **Yes** (TCP CONNECT) |
+| Peer wire (outgoing) | µTP (UDP) | `torrent.js` `utp.connect()` (~L2110) | No (UDP, own socket) → **disable** |
+| HTTP/HTTPS trackers | TCP | `bittorrent-tracker` (HTTP agent) | **Yes** (agent) |
+| WSS trackers | TCP (WebSocket) | `bittorrent-tracker` (ws agent) | **Yes** (agent) |
+| UDP trackers (`udp://`) | UDP | `bittorrent-tracker` | No → **drop** (filter announce list) |
+| DHT | UDP | `bittorrent-dht` | No → **disable** (`dht:false`) |
+| LSD (local peer discovery) | UDP multicast | conn-pool | LAN-only leak → **disable** (`lsd:false`) |
+| Incoming peers | TCP/µTP listener | conn-pool | N/A (inbound; see note) |
+
+Conclusion: a clean, leak-free config is **TCP-only through the SOCKS5 relay**
+with every UDP path turned OFF. This is the standard "torrent proxy" model and
+its standard caveat: you lose µTP peers, UDP trackers, and DHT peer discovery —
+peer counts drop, but HTTP/WSS-tracker swarms (like the rutracker trackers our
+test torrents use) still work, and TCP peers are plentiful.
+
+WebTorrent already exposes the needed off-switches (verified in `index.js`):
+`utp: false` (L82), `dht: false` (L127), `lsd: false` (L76), `webSeeds`
+(L161). Announce-list filtering to `http(s)://`/`wss://` is ours to do.
+
+## The hard part: no dialer hook for TCP peers
+
+WebTorrent has **no public option** to supply a custom socket/dialer for
+outgoing peer connections — it calls `net.connect(opts)` directly inside
+`torrent.js`. Three ways around it:
+
+### Approach A — userland, scoped monkeypatch of `net.connect` (+ disable UDP)
+Wrap `net.connect` so that for a **peer destination** it returns a socket
+tunneled through SOCKS5 (via the already-present `socks` package —
+`SocksClient.createConnection({ proxy, command:'connect', destination })`),
+and for everything else (our loopback HTTP server, the signalling tunnel,
+ffmpeg's `127.0.0.1` fetch, DNS) it calls the real `net.connect`.
+- The `socks` dep is ALREADY in `node_modules` (currently transitive) — would
+  become a direct dependency.
+- Shim detail: `net.connect` returns a socket synchronously and connects
+  async; `SocksClient.createConnection` is Promise-based. Need a small adapter
+  that returns a `net.Socket`-like duplex immediately and attaches the real
+  tunneled socket once the SOCKS handshake resolves (or emits `error`). The
+  `socks` package's event API supports this.
+- Scoping rule: SOCKS only for non-local IPv4/IPv6 destinations; NEVER for

+  agent to `bittorrent-tracker` / webseed fetches (need to confirm WebTorrent
