bug: strip CIDR from OpenWrt DHCP option DNS address (#1082)
-
Olivier Poitrey (13 Apr 26)
bug: reset endpoint probe timeouts per candidate Create and cancel a fresh timeout context for each endpoint probe so one candidate cannot leak its expired deadline into later probes.
-

bug: synchronize netstatus checker state Synchronize checker startup and shared state updates so Notify and Stop cannot race on the global cancel function or previous interface snapshot.
-
Olivier Poitrey (13 Apr 26)
bug: refresh DHCP data under a write lock Move DHCP cache refresh onto a write-locked path so concurrent lookups no longer mutate shared maps while only holding an RLock.
-
Olivier Poitrey (13 Apr 26)
bug: guard zero inflight request limits Treat a configured inflight limit of zero as the default limit so the proxy does not create an unbuffered semaphore channel and deadlock on the first request.
-
Olivier Poitrey (13 Apr 26)
bug: bound idle TCP client reads Set a read deadline before consuming each TCP DNS query so an idle or slow client cannot hold an inflight slot indefinitely and starve the proxy.

ci: improve QEMU timeout handling and test result verification in snapshot-test workflow Refactored the QEMU execution logic to implement a timeout mechanism and enhanced the test result verification process.
