 # Plan: sowerd 连接资源上界（2026-10-12 OOM 复盘）

+"Connection Resource Bounds"。
+
+实施结果摘要：
+
+- 落地 commit `28c4f9e`：`newRedirectServer` 补齐 :80 的四个超时；`serve443` 加
+  `maxInboundConns = 2048` 并发上界；`writeStallListener`/`writeStallConn` 位于 TLS
+  之下，为每次写入武装 `writeStallTimeout`；`dumpHeapOnSignal` 在 SIGUSR1 时写 heap profile。
+- kr 已部署 `v1.7.1-4-g28c4f9e`（sha256 `9ec44038190b...`，备份
+  `/usr/local/bin/sowerd.bak-20261012175623`），并以 drop-in
+  `/etc/systemd/system/sowerd.service.d/10-memory.conf` 设 `GOMEMLIMIT=512MiB`。
+- 验证：`:80` 仍 308 跳转；`:443` 回退反代 200；SIGUSR1 产出
+  `/var/cache/sower/sowerd-heap-*.pprof`；用 `transport/sower` 从本机经 kr 中继
+  `www.baidu.com:80` 得到 HTTP/1.0 200（证明新增的写超时不误伤中继）；r6c 客户端
+  socks5 到 google 仍 204，其日志自 17:31 起无握手失败。

+## Connection Resource Bounds
+
+Both listeners are internet-facing, so an inbound connection must have a
+bounded cost and a bounded lifetime. These bounds are normative:
+
+- The plain-HTTP listener (`:80`) sets `ReadHeaderTimeout`, `ReadTimeout`,
+  `WriteTimeout` and `IdleTimeout`. It only ever serves a redirect or an ACME
+  challenge, so a connection that is slow, idle or half-sent has nothing to
+  wait for; without the timeouts a peer can pin a goroutine, a socket and its
+  buffers indefinitely, and nothing about it is logged.
+- The TLS listener (`:443`) serves at most `maxInboundConns` connections at
+  once; a connection that finds no slot is closed on accept instead of queued.
+  Per-connection state (TLS record buffers, relay copy buffers, goroutine
+  stacks) is what turns an arrival-rate burst into resident memory.
+- Every write on a `:443` connection carries a deadline (`writeStallTimeout`,
+  armed below the TLS listener, so handshake, reverse-proxied response and
+  hijacked tunnel are all covered). The relay library only arms read
+  deadlines, so a peer that stops reading would otherwise block its writer
+  forever, leaking the connection pair, its goroutines and its descriptors.
+  Idle tunnels issue no writes and are not affected.
+- A heap profile is written per `SIGUSR1` (`systemctl kill -s USR1 sowerd`,
+  read with `go tool pprof`). It is the only way to attribute a grown heap to
+  an allocation site, and unlike an HTTP endpoint it adds no network surface.
+
+The service unit also carries a soft heap ceiling (`GOMEMLIMIT`), so an
+unbounded heap degrades this service instead of OOM-killing the host: the
+2026-10-12 OOM on `kr` (970 MiB anon-rss on a 1.6 GiB host) killed the machine,
+not the service. Historical analysis and the still-unproven trigger live in `docs/plans/`
+(2026-10-12, sowerd connection bounds; non-authoritative).
