Summary

Migrates radiance to sing-box v1.13.19-lantern and lantern-box, replacing the
map[string]any / libbox JSON handling with typed option.Options decoded
through box.Context. Also fixes a server-selection corruption bug where
offline URL tests kept dialing after the backend was closed.

Changes

  • adopt sing-box v1.13.19 typed-options across radiance — Bumps
    to v1.13.19-lantern and switches to typed option.Options decoded through
    box.Context:
    • peer: builds the box with sbox.New instead of
      libbox.NewServiceWithContext; validates abuse rules against typed
      option.Options; extracts and tests newPeerBoxContext (log factory,
      registries, caller cancellation).
    • servers: holds the registry context on Manager, read through a
      nil-safe accessor so a directly constructed Manager still (un)marshals.
    • vpn: derives the box context with box.Context; drops the
      libbox.Setup base/temp paths.
  • explicitly set reject rule method — Sets the reject method explicitly in
    vpn/boxoptions.go rather than relying on an implicit default.
  • JSON roundtrip options so sing-box sets default values — Round-trips
    options through JSON in vpn/boxoptions.go so sing-box populates its own
    default values instead of us hand-maintaining them.

Bug Fixes

  • peer: always set auto_detect_interface — Creates the VPN-bypass route
    block when the config lacks one, so auto_detect_interface is always set;
    OR-accumulates the static reject canaries; cancels runCtx on the
    verify-failure path (part of the typed-options refactor).
  • fix(vpn): cancel in-flight offline URL tests on backend close
    RunOfflineURLTests rooted its context at context.Background(), so the
    only way to cancel an in-flight test was VPNClient.Connect. On macOS and
    mobile the tunnel lives in the extension process while the UI process runs
    its own LocalBackend; closing that backend on tunnel-up did not reach the
    test, leaving probe dials in flight. Once the extension's TUN came up they
    were captured and re-proxied, corrupting server selection. Threads a context
    through RunOfflineURLTests and passes r.ctx so closing the backend
    cancels the tests, and defers the cancel so the context is released on
    normal completion instead of leaking.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Improved VPN startup, shutdown, restart, and cancellation handling for more reliable connections.
    • Enhanced configuration parsing and validation, with clearer handling of invalid settings.
    • Improved DNS configuration and connection tracking behavior.
    • Added more explicit connection and tunnel status logging.
    • Updated the default log filename to lantern.log.
  • Compatibility

    • Updated support for current networking and VPN configuration formats.
    • Improved compatibility with Clash API integrations and related connection features.

Bump sing-box to v1.13.19-lantern and lantern-box, and replace the
map[string]any / libbox JSON handling with typed option.Options decoded
through box.Context.

- peer: build the box with sbox.New instead of libbox.NewServiceWithContext;
  validate abuse rules against typed option.Options; extract newPeerBoxContext
  and cover it (log factory, registries, caller cancellation) with tests.
- peer: create the VPN-bypass route block when the config lacks one so
  auto_detect_interface is always set; OR-accumulate the static reject
  canaries; cancel runCtx on the verify-failure path.
- servers: hold the registry context on Manager and read it through a
  nil-safe accessor so a directly constructed Manager still (un)marshals.
- vpn: derive the box context with box.Context; drop the libbox.Setup
  base/temp paths; align the ad-block ruleset test with the JSON
  round-trip's default reject method.
RunOfflineURLTests rooted its context at context.Background(), so the
only way to cancel an in-flight test was VPNClient.Connect. On macOS and
mobile the tunnel lives in the extension process while the UI process
runs its own LocalBackend; closing that backend on tunnel-up did not
reach the test, leaving probe dials in flight. Once the extension's TUN
came up they were captured by it and re-proxied, corrupting server
selection.

Thread a context through RunOfflineURLTests and pass r.ctx so closing
the backend cancels the tests. Also defer the cancel so the context is
released on normal completion instead of leaking.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates sing-box dependencies and replaces legacy libbox and generic JSON handling with typed options and registry-aware contexts. It also changes VPN box construction, peer validation, lifecycle cancellation, connection tracking, and default build tags.

Changes

Sing-box integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency and registry context updates
Makefile, justfile, go.mod, config/config.go, ipc/client.go, servers/manager.go
Build tags and module replacements are updated. JSON serialization uses registry-aware box.Context values.
Peer typed options and validation
peer/peer.go, peer/validate.go, peer/*_test.go
Peer construction, route rewriting, and abuse-rule validation now use typed sing-box options and scoped contexts.
VPN option normalization and box construction
vpn/boxoptions.go, vpn/dnsoptions.go, vpn/tunnel.go, vpn/*_test.go
VPN options are normalized through JSON round trips. Tunnel creation uses *sbox.Box and parsed options. Reject rules and DNS option types are updated.
Lifecycle, connection tracking, and cancellation
vpn/vpn.go, backend/radiance.go, vpn/memmon.go, vpn/clash.go, vpn/conntrack.go, vpn/vpn_test.go
Lifecycle logging and caller-provided cancellation are updated. Connection tracking no longer depends on conntrack. Compatibility interface methods are added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fec8c

The typed-options migration and backend-cancellation changes are mergeable with owner awareness, but the default build commands currently enable different feature sets and one validation test fixture should be corrected so it exercises the intended rule checks.

Pull request overview

This PR migrates Radiance’s sing-box integration to the v1.13.19 typed-options flow (decoding option.Options via box.Context), and fixes an operational issue where offline URL tests could continue dialing after the backend was closed (leading to server-selection corruption).

Changes:

  • Switches VPN and peer box setup from JSON/map-based option handling to typed option.Options, constructing boxes with sbox.New.
  • Threads backend lifetime context into RunOfflineURLTests and ensures cancellation/cleanup on backend close.
  • Updates sing-box option-building and (un)marshalling paths to use box.Context and round-trip options through JSON to populate defaults.

vpn/tunnel.go:293

  • This start path still uses "libbox" in the trace span name and error strings after switching from libbox.BoxService to *sbox.Box. Updating these messages will keep traces and logs accurate.
	if err := traceSpan(ctx, "libbox.BoxService.Start", func() error {
		return t.boxInstance.Start()
	}); err != nil {
		slog.Error("Failed to start libbox service", "error", err)
		return fmt.Errorf("starting libbox service: %w", err)

Use valid rule shapes in the discriminator tests.

A logical rule cannot contain rule_set; sing-box rejects the current fixture during unmarshalling. Use "mode" and "rules" to test logical-rule rejection, then add a paired "type":"default" fixture that expects successful validation.
