glm-5.1 5c820a41e9 tasks: decompose Phase 0a ADR foundation and mark prior tasks completed
Add 10 new tasks under tasks/architecture/ for Phase 0a (ADR writing):
- 9 ADR tasks (026-034) with dependency-ordered structure
- 1 review checkpoint task before Phase 0b spec writing

ADR dependency graph (3 generations):
  Gen 1 (parallel): 026, 029, 030, 031, 032, 034
  Gen 2 (depends on 029): 027, 028
  Gen 3 (depends on 027+028): 033
  Gen 4: review checkpoint

Also mark all 34 prior implementation tasks as completed — they
were finished but still showing as pending in the taskgraph.

server/channel-proxy Implement server channel proxy — direct TCP and outbound proxy connections completed
server/handler
auth/error-types
moderate medium component implementation

Description

Implement the server's channel proxy logic that makes outbound TCP connections on behalf of SSH clients. When channel_open_direct_tcpip(host, port) is called for a non-reserved destination:

  1. Connect to host:port, either directly or via the configured outbound proxy
  2. Run tokio::io::copy_bidirectional between the SSH channel stream and the outbound TCP stream
  3. Clean up when either side disconnects

Supports three outbound proxy modes per server.md: Direct, SOCKS5 proxy, HTTP CONNECT proxy.

Acceptance Criteria

  • crates/alknet-core/src/server/channel_proxy.rs exports channel proxy functions
  • ProxyConfig enum: Direct, Socks5 { addr: SocketAddr }, HttpConnect { addr: SocketAddr }
  • connect_outbound(target: SocketAddr, proxy: &ProxyConfig) -> Result<TcpStream> — connects to target directly or via proxy
  • Direct mode: TcpStream::connect(target)
  • SOCKS5 proxy: establishes SOCKS5 handshake, sends CONNECT command for target
  • HTTP CONNECT proxy: sends CONNECT host:port HTTP/1.1 to proxy, reads 200 response
  • proxy_channel(channel: ChannelStream, target: SocketAddr, proxy: &ProxyConfig) — spawns bidirectional copy task
  • Channel errors (target unreachable, proxy failure) close that channel without affecting SSH session
  • No logging of tunnel destinations (ADR-006) — only transport/auth events are logged
  • Unit tests: direct connection proxy, SOCKS5 proxy handshake, HTTP CONNECT proxy handshake, target unreachable handling
