Let a host marked for the relay actually be reached through it
The relay checkbox said it was not wired up, and the plan said the server half was built and shipped. It was not: there was ADR 0004, the contract records, RelayOptions and a CHECK constraint, and RelayOptions said in its own remarks that there was no endpoint and no dialler. So both halves are built here, as step 3 of docs/reaching-a-host-you-cannot-dial.md. Server, in Features/Relay: - POST /api/v1/relay/tickets makes every decision: the host, Connect on its vault, the relay switched on, and the stored name resolved once and judged by RelayAddressPolicy. Loopback, link-local, 0.0.0.0/8, multicast and the metadata endpoints are refused with no configuration escape, with IPv4-mapped and NAT64 spellings unwrapped first; then the operator's denials, allow-list and private-network switch. What passes goes into a Data Protection ticket, and nothing resolves the name again. Every target refusal is the same 403, so the endpoint cannot be used to map the operator's DNS; the real reason is logged. - GET /api/v1/relay/connect takes the ticket as a second subprotocol, checks its expiry against TimeProvider and spends it with a unique insert into relay_ticket_use before accepting the upgrade. After the upgrade a refusal is a close code: 4502 for a host the server could not reach, 4429 for a limit, 4408 idle, 4409 lifetime, 1001 after a drain. - relay_session is the audit row, written from short-lived scopes. Client: - RelayBridge is a loopback SOCKS5 listener that accepts once and pipes to the relay socket. It rides on the new SshLoopbackProxy.Lifetime, so the connection disposes it on every way a session ends and a failed connect disposes it before throwing. - ServerRelay, exposed as IVaultServer.Relay from /api/v1/meta, asks for the ticket, opens the socket, starts the bridge and turns every refusal into a sentence. - VaultViewModel and TransfersViewModel reach a relayed host through it, never fall back to dialling it directly, and replace SSH.NET's transport error with the relay's own reason when it gave one. Neither side ever cancels a WebSocket operation. Cancelling one aborts the socket, and an aborted socket sends no close frame, which is the only way the client learns the server could not reach the host. AnIdleSession_IsClosedWithTheIdleCode asserts that the code arrives. Three departures from ADR 0004, recorded in it: awaited copy loops rather than Pipelines (same backpressure, two 32 KiB buffers), no ?ticket= fallback, and no device id in the ticket. Tests: API 245, shell 582 (5 skipped), layout 170, SSH 110 including a real login through the bridge, API client 30, contracts 25. Not run: the Android build (its change is copy only) and the Alpine layout oracle.

[Moving files](#moving-files) for the two things about it worth knowing before you use it, both of which
|
||||
are consequences rather than choices.
|
||||
|
||||
*Relay done:* a host with "Connect through the server relay" ticked is reached through the deployment,
|
||||
for a machine this one cannot dial. The server issues a single-use, thirty-second ticket for that host
|
||||
alone, resolves its address and checks it against a deny list with no configuration escape — loopback,
|
||||
link-local, metadata endpoints — and then pipes raw TCP; the SSH session still ends on your machine, so
|
||||
the relay sees ciphertext. It is off by default (`Relay:Enabled`), and it only helps when the server can
|
||||
reach what you cannot. See [ADR 0004](docs/adr/0004-relay-authorization.md).
|
||||
|
||||
*Organising done:* hosts can be filed into groups, and commands can be saved as snippets. Both are ordinary
|
||||
synced items — encrypted, merged and pushed like every other — and both are invisible until used: a
|
||||
keychain with no groups draws the flat host list it always did. Two things about them are deliberate.
