Custom Routing Rules & Real-time Validation
- Comprehensive custom routing rules supporting DOMAIN, DOMAIN-SUFFIX, DOMAIN-KEYWORD, IP-CIDR, IP-CIDR6, and GEOIP with custom targets (DIRECT, REJECT, PROXY, or proxy groups).
- Dual-mode editing supporting visual form and Clash text line syntax, with real-time field-level validation and syntax error hints.
- Top priority in routing chain, and direct domain custom rules are automatically injected into fake-ip-filter to bypass DNS hijacking.
Live Rule Simulation, Verification & Hot Reload
- One-click rule test in editor and route simulation engine highlighting custom rule matches with distinctive green CUSTOM badges.
- Seamless hot reload via lightweight IPC without restarting network extensions or dropping active connections.
Tailscale CGNAT Bypass & Headscale Timeout Resolution
- Explicitly added Tailscale CGNAT 100.64.0.0/10 to TUN default excluded routes, preventing kernel packet interception.
- Built-in direct bypass and Fake-IP avoidance for Tailscale domains, permanently eliminating Tailscale and SSH timeouts.
Application Termination Synchronization Optimization
- Introduced synchronous pre-termination cleanup, cancelling in-flight health and probe tasks immediately, cutting exit latency from 60s to < 0.5s.
Hardware & VM Matrix Verification
- Verified across all 6 engine and routing matrix permutations in Tart VM (aether-diag-1434) with 100% pass rate and clean post-run teardown.
- Verified on physical Apple Silicon Mac mini via remote automated test gate with 100% pass rate (TCP 8032–9670 Mbps, UDP 0 drops).
Release Information
- This stable package uses the normal production core, is Developer ID signed and Apple double-notarized (app + dmg stapled), and contains no QA automation flags.
- Authorized by the maintainer for stable release following real hardware and VM matrix verification.
