 ## Run
 
+Production (autocert):
+
+```bash
+sudo ./bin/pyrycode-relay --domain relay.example.com
+```
+
+The relay binds `:443` (WSS) and `:80` (ACME http-01 challenge). Both ports must be reachable from the public internet — Let's Encrypt issues the cert by hitting `:80` on first request to the domain. The first WSS request after a fresh start may take ~10–20s while the cert is issued and cached to `--cert-cache`. Subsequent restarts reuse the cached cert.
+
+Behind a reverse proxy (TLS terminated upstream):
+
 ```bash
-./bin/pyrycode-relay --domain relay.example.com
+./bin/pyrycode-relay --insecure-listen :8080
 ```

 ## Patterns established
 
 - **Sentinel errors, branched via `errors.Is`** for validation failures at protocol boundaries. New routing-layer code follows the `Err...` naming and wraps with `fmt.Errorf("…: %w", err, sentinel)` when adding context.
 - **Opacity by type.** Inner-frame payloads are carried as `json.RawMessage`. The relay never deserialises payloads; the type makes that hard to violate accidentally.
 - **Validate at the envelope boundary, not deeper.** Structural checks (presence, non-empty, JSON well-formedness) belong here; semantic checks (token validity, message kind) belong to the binary.
-- **Stdlib only.** No external Go dependencies so far. `encoding/json` is sufficient for routing.
+- **Stdlib + `golang.org/x/crypto`.** First non-stdlib dep arrived in #9 (`acme/autocert`). Keep the dependency surface deliberate; new deps need a justification.
+- **Loud failure over silent correction.** `--domain` and `--insecure-listen` are mutually exclusive and explicit. `ErrCacheDirInsecure` refuses to start on a world/group-readable cert cache rather than re-chmoding it. `:80` returns `404` for non-challenge traffic instead of redirecting to HTTPS (ADR-0002).
 - **Tests live in the same package** (`package relay`, not `relay_test`) so they can `errors.Is` against unexported sentinels if needed and reach private helpers without re-exporting.

+# ADR-0002: Explicit-failure 404 on `:80` instead of HTTPS redirect
+
+**Status:** Accepted (#9)
+**Date:** 2026-05-08
+
+## Context
+
+In `--domain` mode the relay binds `:80` for the ACME http-01 challenge. Anything *other* than an ACME challenge request hitting that port is, by definition, a misconfigured client — phones and binaries are required to use WSS on `:443`. The question is how to respond to those non-challenge requests.
+
+`golang.org/x/crypto/acme/autocert.Manager.HTTPHandler(fallback)` defines the behaviour for non-challenge traffic:
+
+- `fallback == nil` → autocert redirects GET/HEAD to HTTPS with `302` and returns `400` for other methods.
+- `fallback != nil` → autocert calls `fallback.ServeHTTP` for all non-challenge traffic.
+
+The ticket's literal AC text said "the `nil` argument means non-challenge HTTP requests get a 404," which is incorrect about autocert's behaviour. The intent stated alongside the AC was the load-bearing part: *"we do NOT redirect to HTTPS — we want explicit-failure semantics for misconfigured clients."*
+
+## Decision
+
+Pass `http.NotFoundHandler()` explicitly to `manager.HTTPHandler`, not `nil`. Non-challenge port-80 traffic returns `404` with no body. ACME challenges still flow through autocert's own routing and reach the cert-issuance handler unchanged.
+
+## Rationale
+
+A `302` redirect is convenient for browsers but actively unhelpful for the relay's clients:
+
+- Mobile clients (phones, binaries) speak WSS on `:443`. They have no business reaching the relay over plain HTTP. A redirect would mask the misconfiguration; a `404` surfaces it.
+- Browsers shouldn't reach the relay at all — there is no HTTP UI. A `404` is the honest answer.
+- The relay's posture elsewhere (`--insecure-listen` vs `--domain` are mutually exclusive and explicit; `ErrCacheDirInsecure` refuses to start instead of silently weakening) is consistent loud-failure. Redirecting plain-HTTP traffic to HTTPS would be the lone silent-correction in this binary.
+
+Returning a body in the 404 was considered and rejected — the relay leaks no internal state in error responses anywhere else, and nothing useful would go in the body.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The wiring in `cmd/pyrycode-relay/main.go` is `mgr.HTTPHandler(http.NotFoundHandler())`, with a comment explaining why `nil` is wrong here. Future contributors who "clean up" to `nil` reintroduce the redirect.
+- If a future operator deployment ever wants the redirect (e.g. fronting a browser-facing healthcheck on `:80`), this is a one-line change — but it should require a fresh ticket and decision.
+- The choice is independent of the `:443` `EnforceHost` middleware (which returns `421` for Host-header mismatches). Both follow the same explicit-failure principle but address different threats: `EnforceHost` pins the application-layer host on TLS connections; the `:80` 404 prevents silent scheme-switching.

+# Autocert TLS (`--domain` mode)
+
+The relay terminates TLS itself in production via Let's Encrypt and `golang.org/x/crypto/acme/autocert`. One command brings the public listener up:
+
+```
+sudo pyrycode-relay --domain relay.example.com
+```
+
+Two listeners come up: `:443` for WSS (cert via autocert) and `:80` for the ACME http-01 challenge. No reverse proxy in the production path.
+
+Authoritative wire spec: [`pyrycode/pyrycode/docs/protocol-mobile.md` § TLS](https://github.com/pyrycode/pyrycode/blob/main/docs/protocol-mobile.md#tls).
+
+## Modes
+
+| Flag | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `--domain <fqdn>` | Production. Relay holds the cert. Requires `:80` and `:443` reachable from the public internet. |
+| `--insecure-listen :8080` | Behind a reverse proxy that terminates TLS upstream, or local dev. Disables autocert. |
+
+The two are mutually exclusive; one of them must be set or the binary refuses to start.
+
+## API
+
+Package `internal/relay` (`tls.go`):
+
+```go
+func NewAutocertManager(domain, cacheDir string) (*autocert.Manager, error)
+func EnforceHost(domain string, next http.Handler) http.Handler
+func TLSConfig(m *autocert.Manager) *tls.Config
+
+var ErrCacheDirInsecure = errors.New("relay: cert cache dir has insecure permissions (must be 0700)")
+```
+
+`cmd/pyrycode-relay/main.go` does the wiring (server construction, timeouts, listener startup); `internal/relay` provides only the testable pieces.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Flag | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--domain` | (required for autocert) | Single domain. Bound via `autocert.HostWhitelist(domain)`; ACME issuance for any other host is rejected. |
+| `--cert-cache` | `~/.pyrycode-relay/certs` | Created with `0700` if missing. Refuses to start if an existing dir is world- or group-readable (`ErrCacheDirInsecure`). |
+| `--insecure-listen` | (unset) | Disables autocert. |
+
+The cache dir is the only on-disk state the relay keeps. TLS private keys live there (autocert writes them with `0o600`).
+
+## Two host gates
+
+Single-domain enforcement happens in two places, because the TLS handshake's SNI does not bind the HTTP `Host` header — they can legally disagree on the same connection.
+
+1. **`autocert.HostWhitelist(domain)`** — gates ACME *issuance*. Without it, the relay would attempt to fetch certs for any name a client requests via SNI, which Let's Encrypt would either rate-limit us out of or, worse, succeed at for an attacker-controlled domain pointed at our IP.
+2. **`EnforceHost(domain, mux)`** — gates *application traffic* on `:443`. Any request whose `Host` header doesn't match the configured domain (case-insensitive, port-tolerant) gets `421 Misdirected Request` with no body, before reaching the routing handlers.
+
+`:80` does not use `EnforceHost`. The autocert HTTPHandler owns the host check there via the manager's `HostPolicy`.
+
+## Explicit-failure semantics on `:80`
+
+`:80` is wired as `mgr.HTTPHandler(http.NotFoundHandler())` — *not* `mgr.HTTPHandler(nil)`. Passing `nil` would redirect non-challenge traffic (GET/HEAD) to HTTPS with `302`. The relay deliberately returns `404` instead so that misconfigured clients fail loudly rather than silently switching schemes. See ADR-0002.
+
+## Cert cache permissions
+
+`NewAutocertManager` is stricter than the ticket's AC ("existing dir → no-op"). The actual policy:
+
+- Missing → `os.MkdirAll(dir, 0o700)`.
+- Exists, is dir, mode `& 0o077 == 0` → no-op (secure).
+- Exists, is dir, mode `& 0o077 != 0` → `ErrCacheDirInsecure` (refuses to start).
+- Exists, not a dir → error.
+
+Reasoning: TLS private keys live there. Silently accepting an attacker-readable cache fits neither the relay's "internet-exposed; adversarial input is the default" stance nor the `--insecure-listen` precedent of loud failure.
+
+Per-file mode (`0o600`) is autocert's contract, not enforced here.
+
+## Server timeouts
+
+Both `httpsSrv` and `httpSrv` mirror the insecure path's timeouts:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `ReadHeaderTimeout` | 10s |
+| `ReadTimeout` | 60s |
+| `WriteTimeout` | 60s |
+| `IdleTimeout` | 120s |
+
+`ReadHeaderTimeout` bounds slow-loris on both ports and keeps `gosec` G114 quiet.
+
+## TLS version
+
+`TLSConfig(m)` returns `m.TLSConfig()` with `MinVersion = tls.VersionTLS12`. Centralised because:
+
+- autocert's default config leaves `MinVersion` zero, which trips `gosec` G402 on `make lint`.
+- A future "switch to 1.3-min" is a one-line change with one test to update.
+
+Cipher selection is delegated to Go's secure-default suites for TLS 1.2; TLS 1.3 doesn't expose suite selection.
+
+## Concurrency
+
+Two goroutines, no shared mutable state:
+
+1. Main — `httpsSrv.ListenAndServeTLS("", "")`. The empty cert/key paths defer to `TLSConfig.GetCertificate`, which `manager.TLSConfig()` populates. This is the documented autocert pattern.
+2. Background — `httpSrv.ListenAndServe()` for ACME http-01.
+
+Either listener failing → log + `os.Exit(1)`. No graceful shutdown (mirrors the insecure path).
+
+The `*autocert.Manager` is constructed once and used read-only; its internal locking is autocert's contract.
+
+## Operational notes
+
+- `:80` and `:443` are privileged. Run with `sudo`, or grant `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` via `setcap` / systemd `AmbientCapabilities`.
+- First request to the domain after a fresh start may take ~10–20s while autocert issues and caches the cert. Subsequent restarts reuse the cache.
+- Cert renewal is silent — autocert handles it. No metrics in v1.
+
+## Out of scope (deferred)
+
+- Multi-domain certs (`autocert.HostWhitelist` is variadic but the UX/ops story isn't worth solving until a second domain is needed).
+- DNS-01 / wildcard certs.
+- `--acme-email` for Let's Encrypt expiry mail.
+- Renewal observability.
+- Self-signed dev fallback (`--insecure-listen` exists for that).
+- Per-IP / per-connection rate limits (separate ticket).
+- Graceful shutdown / signal handling.

+
+## `autocert.Manager.HTTPHandler(nil)` redirects to HTTPS — it does not 404
+
+The autocert docs and the `nil` argument are easy to misread as "no fallback → 404." Actual behaviour: GET/HEAD get a `302` to HTTPS; other methods get `400`. To get an explicit 404 (or any other handler), pass it explicitly: `mgr.HTTPHandler(http.NotFoundHandler())`. See ADR-0002. Source: autocert TLS wiring (#9).
+
+## TLS handshake SNI does not bind the HTTP `Host` header
+
+A client can complete the TLS handshake using SNI for `relay.example.com` and then send `Host: somethingelse.com` in the HTTP request on the same connection. The wire spec says they must match for the relay; enforce it in application code (`EnforceHost` returns `421 Misdirected Request`). Don't assume autocert's `HostWhitelist` covers this — that gates ACME *issuance*, not request-time host validation. Source: autocert TLS (#9).
+
+## `r.Host` may carry a `:port` suffix
+
+RFC 7230 §5.4 allows it. When comparing to a configured hostname, strip the port via `net.SplitHostPort` first (it errors out cleanly if there's no port — use the original string in that case). Compare with `strings.EqualFold` because hostnames are case-insensitive. Source: `EnforceHost` (#9).
+
+## `autocert.Manager.TLSConfig()` doesn't set `MinVersion`
+
+`gosec` G402 fires on `make lint` if you use it raw. Wrap it in a helper that pins `MinVersion = tls.VersionTLS12` (or 1.3) before handing it to `http.Server`. Centralising the override means a future bump is a one-line change. Source: `relay.TLSConfig` (#9).
