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.

- **Client-supplied target address.** One line of convenience, and the relay becomes an open
|
||||
proxy into the operator's network.
|
||||
- **Allow-listing by hostname.** Defeated by DNS rebinding.

## Implementation notes
|
||||
|
||||
Built in `DodoSSH.Api/Features/Relay` and, on the client, `RelayBridge` and `ServerRelay`; see
|
||||
`docs/reaching-a-host-you-cannot-dial.md`, "What step 3 built". Three places differ from the text above:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Backpressure is an awaited copy loop, not `System.IO.Pipelines`.** Each direction reads one buffer and
|
||||
writes it before reading again. The property is the same — a slow peer stops the read, and TCP throttles
|
||||
the origin — and the bound is tighter: two 32 KiB buffers per session.
|
||||
- **There is no `?ticket=` fallback.** Both clients can set a subprotocol, and the fallback's cost — a bearer
|
||||
credential in the URL — was the reason it needed scrubbing at all. It can be added if a constrained
|
||||
client ever needs it; the scrubbing requirement stands.
|
||||
- **The ticket carries no device id.** The server does not see a device on an ordinary request, so there was
|
||||
nothing to put there. `PortForwardId` on the request is refused: a forward's port is ciphertext, and
|
||||
honouring one would mean taking the port from the client.
|
||||
|
||||
The loopback bridge serves the relay only. SSH.NET's `ForwardedPortDynamic` already is the jump-host path's
|
||||
listener, so "one mechanism, two features" is true one level down: both features reach their target through
|
||||
a loopback SOCKS5 proxy named on the connection request.
