Aether-GUI v1.18.0 — Aether 2.1.0 engine integration

Upgrades the bundled engine from Aether 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 and fixes connect-lifecycle bugs found in real session logs. GUI and engine have separate version numbers.

Engine (2.1.0)

  • Psiphon modes: psiphon, psiphon-reverse, psiphon-only (XOR shapes); MASQUE required for reverse.
  • Native Tor flags: bridge presets / bridge file / no-bridges / force-bridges, --tor-relays, relay ports, --tor-http.
  • --exit-loc / --exit-loc-secs, --stats / --stats-secs, noize profiles, --mark.
  • Scan mode stealth aliases verified; turbo/balanced/thorough/verified/ironclad budgets aligned with upstream prober deadlines.
  • Pinned install (engine-<ver>/) with SHA-256 verification for engine, pt/lyrebird, and pt/psiphon-tunnel-core.

Connect lifecycle (aether-3 / aether-4 field fixes)

  • Stuck “Starting Aether…”: first engine log line now marks interactive prompts done, so the UI advances Launching → Connecting when the full CLI never shows a prompt menu.
  • Stale monitor killing a live session: each spawn bumps an epoch; monitors exit if the epoch changes and only ever kill their own session. SOCKS address is re-read every tick instead of captured once.
  • Disconnect wouldn’t cancel / wouldn’t reconnect: any non-Idle/Error state is cancellable even with no session behind it (zombie Launching/Connecting), so you can turn the tunnel off without restarting the app.
  • AlreadyRunning → Error desync: the frontend no longer flips to Error when the backend still owns the attempt; the status event catches the UI up.

Proxy / ports / status

  • Private engine, engine-Tor, and engine-Psiphon ports are reserved separately so reverse/only modes no longer fight over 1821/1820.
  • Windows bind conflicts (only one usage of each socket address) classify as port-in-use.
  • Secondary Tor/Psiphon status line is sticky (no ready/unready blink) and gated on mode + session.
  • Host PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/… env vars are stripped from the engine process; NO_PROXY pins loopback.

UI

  • Scan Mode menu scrolls on the x-axis when the window is narrow instead of overflowing the app.
  • IP Changer panel stays constrained after Start Tor (carried from v0.17.1).

Known upstream (not GUI)

  • MASQUE-in-MASQUE can fail every inner edge with QUIC 0x128 while the outer hop validates — engine-side; single-hop MASQUE connects normally on the same install.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test green.
  • npm run typecheck && lint && build green (one pre-existing TanStack Virtual warning).
