Summary

  • add a stealth_novpn Radiance backend path that runs sing-box in SOCKS/mixed proxy mode instead of libbox/VPN service mode
  • gate OAuth, URL-provider registration, TUN inbounds, WireGuard key setup, and libbox tunnel setup out of stealth_novpn builds
  • rename managed server metadata away from Lantern-specific JSON in stealth builds while preserving legacy isLantern reads for normal builds

Verification

  • mise exec go@1.26.2 -- env GOCACHE=/tmp/radiance-stealth-go-cache GOMODCACHE=/tmp/radiance-stealth-go-mod GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./backend ./config ./servers
  • mise exec go@1.26.2 -- env GOCACHE=/tmp/radiance-stealth-go-cache GOMODCACHE=/tmp/radiance-stealth-go-mod GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false go test ./backend ./config ./servers
  • consumed from Lantern at v0.0.0-20260518143049-9fb8b10019b2; stealth noVPN APK rebuild and leakage scan pass there

Pull request overview

Adds a stealth_novpn build path that runs sing-box as a SOCKS/mixed proxy instead of a libbox-based VPN tunnel, while preserving the existing VPN code path for default builds. The split is implemented via build tags across vpn/, servers/, config/, backend/, account/, and a new internal/boxctx helper. The PR also renames the Server.IsLantern field to Server.Managed and adds legacy-JSON compatibility in the default build.

Changes:

  • Introduce //go:build stealth_novpn and //go:build !stealth_novpn siblings to gate libbox/VPN/TUN/WireGuard/OAuth/URL-provider code out of stealth builds, including a new NewVPNClient/proxySession that drives sing-box directly.
  • Rename Server.IsLanternServer.Managed (JSON managed), extract per-build helpers applyLegacyManagedFlag/isManagedServerGroup, and move AddServersByURL and WireGuard key handling behind tagged files.
  • Centralize sing-box context creation in internal/boxctx, with a stripped registry for stealth_novpn that registers only the protocols the build supports and stubs WireGuard/Tailscale/Amnezia endpoints.

vpn/vpn.go Adds !stealth_novpn build tag to the existing VPN client.

vpn/build_options_default.go / vpn/build_options_stealth_novpn.go No-op vs filter that drops WireGuard/Amnezia outbounds in stealth_novpn.
vpn/boxoptions.go Delegates inbound/platform-tunnel setup to helpers and uses boxctx.BaseContext.
servers/manager.go Renames IsLanternManaged, removes URL provider import, switches to boxctx.
servers/manager_test.go Updates expectations to Managed and skips URL test in stealth_novpn.
servers/providers_.go, servers/stealth_flag__test.go Build-tagged provider registration and test flag.

@copilot review

Reviewed the full PR. All three previously flagged issues are addressed in 7a41164. Here's what I found beyond that:

Bug: stealth_novpn build doesn't compile (ipc/server.go)
backend/oauth.go is gated !stealth_novpn, so OAuthLoginCallback/OAuthLoginURL don't exist on LocalBackend in that build. ipc/server.go references both unconditionally. Added backend/oauth_stealth_novpn.go with stubs that return "OAuth not supported in this build".

[session-state-trace] vs [vpn-state-trace] in setStatus
The stealth_novpn setStatus emits [session-state-trace] while the default build emits [vpn-state-trace]. If log search/alerting keys on the VPN build tag, stealth status transitions will be invisible. Worth aligning — or at minimum documenting the difference.

Two minor comment additions

  • managed_legacy_stealth_novpn.go: added inline comment explaining why the byte-slice encoding is used (avoids a verbatim literal in the stealth binary).
  • vpn_stealth_novpn.go RunOfflineURLTests: added comment that the empty return is intentional — callers treat it as "no prior results" and proceed with a blind connect.

Both builds (go build ./... and go build -tags=stealth_novpn ./...) pass after the OAuth stub is added. The TestRetryableHTTPClient failure in CI is a pre-existing network sandbox constraint unrelated to these changes.

Completed another review pass and fixed the remaining trace-marker inconsistency in vpn/vpn_stealth_novpn.go so stealth noVPN now logs [vpn-state-trace] like the default build. Addressed in commit 5c2a658.

Reviewed on 3ae9711. I don’t see any new actionable issues in this round. Validation passes for go test ./backend ./config ./ipc and go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./backend ./config ./ipc; ./servers still only shows the known sandbox DNS failure in TestRetryableHTTPClient.

Reviewed the current PR head (c4e5d2c) and re-ran targeted tests for ./backend ./config ./ipc ./servers in both default and stealth_novpn builds. No new actionable code issues found; both runs only hit the known sandbox DNS failure in servers/TestRetryableHTTPClient.

Please review only. Do not add stealth_novpn OAuth stub methods: keeping those method names out of the noVPN binary is intentional, and the build-tag split in the IPC auth provider route/client removes that API surface for stealth_novpn builds.

Reviewed only on c4e5d2c and kept the noVPN OAuth surface as-is (no stealth_novpn OAuth stubs added). I found no new actionable code issues. Validation still matches prior results: go test ./backend ./config ./ipc and go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./backend ./config ./ipc pass, while ./servers fails only on the known DNS-dependent TestRetryableHTTPClient in this sandbox.

Reviewed on df5a984. No new actionable issues found. The noVPN split-tunnel side effect removal looks correct, and OAuth names remain out of stealth_novpn via the IPC build-tag split (no stealth OAuth stubs added). Re-validated with go test ./backend ./config ./ipc, go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./backend ./config ./ipc, plus ./servers in both tags (only the known sandbox DNS failure in servers/TestRetryableHTTPClient).
