DIMFLIX da01b7637d feat(sub): client-side balancers for the JSON subscription (#6243)
* feat(sub): add SubBalancer model and migration

Client-side JSON-subscription balancer row: remark, strategy, member inbound ids, sort order, enabled. Registered in allModels and migrationModels so AutoMigrate and SQLite->Postgres copy pick it up.

* feat(sub): add SubBalancer service

List/Get/Create/Update/Delete over the sub_balancers table with remark trim, strategy allowlist (leastLoad/leastPing/random) and sort-order floor. Rows are read per request by the subscription builder, so mutations need no xray restart.

* feat(sub): add SubBalancer API controller and routes

GET/POST /panel/api/sub-balancers, POST /:id (update), DELETE /:id and POST /:id/del alias. inboundIds bind from repeated form keys. Mounted under the /panel/api group so the existing API token + CSRF middleware cover it.

* feat(sub): emit client-side balancers in JSON subscription

For each enabled balancer, append one config document whose outbounds are the selected inbounds' proxy outbounds retagged under a per-balancer prefix, with routing.balancers + burstObservatory selecting it. Balancer entries interleave with inbound entries by sort order; on equal numbers the balancer follows the inbound. Skipped when disabled or no member outbound is present.

* test(sub): cover SubBalancer service and JSON output

Service: validation gates (remark/strategy/inbound ids/sort order) and CRUD round-trip. JSON: balancer document shape, sort interleaving with inbounds, disabled/empty skip, and member tag dedup.

* feat(sub): add sub-balancers i18n keys

pages.settings.subBalancers.* block (menu, title, add, desc, field labels, strategy names, sort-order help, validation messages) added to all 13 locales.

* feat(sub): add SubBalancer schema and API queries

Zod schema (entity + form, strategy enum, validation messages wired to i18n keys), react-query hooks for list/create/update/delete, and the sub-balancers query key.

* feat(sub): add subscription balancers settings tab

SubscriptionBalancersTab lists balancers (sort order, remark, strategy, inbound count, enabled toggle, edit/delete) with a form modal (remark, strategy, sort order, multi-select inbounds filtered to multi-client protocols, enabled). Wired into SettingsPage under #subscription-balancers, and the sidebar shows the entry only when JSON subscription is enabled.

* test(sub): add SubBalancer form modal test

Covers add-mode (no validation errors, confirm with parsed values) and edit-mode (seeds from the balancer, preserves strategy/sort order/enabled).

* feat(sub): register sub-balancers in API docs and OpenAPI

Adds the sub-balancers endpoint group to endpoints.ts (list/create/update/delete + POST del alias) and regenerates frontend/public/openapi.json from it.

* docs: sync openapi.json with frontend

docs/public/openapi.json had fallen behind frontend/public/openapi.json (fewer paths/schemas). Copy the current frontend spec so the docs site renders the full API.

* docs: add subscription balancers API reference

Registers the sub-balancers page (generated MDX) and adds the sub-balancers paths to docs/public/openapi.json so the page renders the list/create/update/delete operations.

* feat(sub): accept roundRobin balancer strategy

Add roundRobin to the model oneof tag and the service strategy allowlist, alongside leastLoad/leastPing/random. Covered by a service-level create test that fails on the old allowlist.

* feat(sub): add roundRobin strategy label

pages.settings.subBalancers.strategyRoundRobin added to all 13 locales.

* feat(sub): expose roundRobin in balancer form

Zod strategy enum, form modal label key, and table strategy colour for roundRobin.

* docs(sub): list roundRobin in strategy description

The create/update strategy param description now mentions roundRobin alongside the other three.

* feat(sub): add subJsonObservatory setting

Panel-wide JSON string carrying the burstObservatory ping config (destination, connectivity, interval, sampling, timeout, httpMethod) emitted into client-side balancer docs. Stored like subJsonMux/Rules/FinalMask.

* feat(sub): wire observatory config through sub controller

WithSUBJsonObservatory option; the controller calls SubJsonService.SetObservatoryConfig after construction.

* feat(sub): emit observatory conditionally with configurable probes

burstObservatory is emitted only for leastPing/leastLoad; random/roundRobin get none (no fallback, so an observatory would only probe for nothing). Probe params come from the subJsonObservatory setting, falling back to the built-in defaults when empty or partial. Test covers the conditional emit and the override.

* feat(sub): add subJsonObservatory to AllSetting model

Frontend AllSetting model and Zod schema carry the new panel-wide observatory config string.

* feat(sub): add balancer observatory config card

New Sub Formats tab editing destination/connectivity/interval/sampling/timeout/httpMethod, stored as JSON in subJsonObservatory. Toggle off clears the setting; the backend then falls back to defaults.

* fix(sub): hide save/restart header on sub-balancers tab

Sub-balancer mutations are incremental (own CRUD API, no Save, no restart), so the page-wide 'every change needs to be saved / restart the panel' banner is misleading there. The in-tab alert already explains it correctly.

* feat(sub): add observatory config i18n keys

pages.settings.subBalancers.observatory.* (title, desc, probe field labels and help texts) added to all 13 locales.

* feat(sub): regenerate openapi for subJsonObservatory

openapigen picks up the new AllSetting field; openapi.json synced into docs.

* feat(sub): add observatory tab to sub-balancers

Mirrors the Xray Balancers page: two tabs (Balancers + Observatory).
Wires allSetting/updateSetting into the tab and adds tabBalancers /
tabObservatory labels to all locales. The page Save header is shown
again on this tab so the observatory config can be saved.

* refactor(sub): drop observatory tab from sub-formats

Now that the observatory config lives under sub-balancers, remove the
duplicate tab plus its state and defaults from sub-formats.

* fix(sub): add missing inboundsCount i18n key

The sub-balancers table rendered the raw key path in the Inbounds
column because pages.settings.subBalancers.inboundsCount was not
defined. Added it to all 13 locales.

* test(sub): pin disabled-inbound exclusion from balancer

The balancer builds its members from the subscriber's already-filtered
entry set, so an inbound disabled for that user can never surface as a
member. Adds tests for both shapes (one of several disabled, and the
only selected one disabled).

* fix(sub): make observatory toggle honest, default connectivity off, add balancer fallback

Three coupled defects on the balancer observatory surface, flagged in PR review:

- The Observatory Switch wrote '' which the Go side treats as "use built-in defaults", so leastPing/leastLoad still shipped a burstObservatory the admin could no longer see or edit. The observatory is mandatory for these strategies (Xray refuses to start leastPing/leastLoad without one — verified against Xray 26.7), so the switch is relabelled to "customise probe parameters vs built-in defaults" rather than on/off: '' keeps the defaults, a stored JSON overrides them. An info Alert explains this.

- Connectivity defaulted to http://www.google.com/generate_204 and an explicit {"connectivity":""} restored it, so the UI's "Leave empty to skip" was unreachable and the direct pre-check was dead on arrival on censored client networks. Default to "" and honour an explicit empty value.

- routing.balancers had no fallbackTag, so a leastPing/leastLoad balancer whose probes all fail selects nothing and dispatch fails. Emit fallbackTag pointing at the first member so a probe outage degrades instead of breaking.

Also skip balancer entries (kind!=0) in the member scan so a balancer can never match another balancer's row id. Tests cover each fix and fail without it.

* fix(sub-balancer): localize controller toasts and reject malformed ids

Route the new controller's user-facing messages through I18nWeb so non-English admins get localized toasts like every other controller, and switch parseID to strconv.Atoi rejecting ids < 1 so "12abc" and negative ids no longer coerce to a silent no-op delete that reports success.

* fix(sub-balancer): enforce remark length cap server-side

The model's validate:"max=256" tag was never enforced (parseSubBalancerForm binds an ad-hoc struct without validate.Struct), so a scripted API client could store an unbounded remark that is emitted verbatim as the remarks field of every affected subscriber's config. Reject len > 256 in validate() to match the frontend Zod cap.

* fix(sub-balancer): exclude mtproto from balancer member picker

SubJsonService.getConfig has no mtproto case, so an mtproto inbound's first outbound is "direct" and the buildBalancerConfig "tag != proxy" guard drops it — an admin could select it, save without error, and get a balancer that silently omits it (or no document at all). Drop it from the picker and fix the comment.

* docs(sub-balancers): add nav entry, fix tab pointer, note mirror scope

- Add "subscription-balancers" to the en reference/api meta.json pages array so the new MDX page is reachable from the sidebar (fa/ru/zh have no MDX — gen-openapi.ts emits into en only).

- Fix the endpoints.ts section description from "Settings -> Subscription" to "Settings -> Sub Balancers" (the feature's own tab) and regenerate the OpenAPI spec + MDX.

- Note in docs/lib/xray/subscription.ts that balancer documents are intentionally out of scope for that mirror.

* style(model): trim SubBalancer comment to 2-line cap

CLAUDE.md caps committed Go comment blocks at 2 lines; this one was 3.

* fix(sub-balancer): parse enabled explicitly and preserve it on partial update

parseSubBalancerForm treated any non-"false" value as true (so "bogus"
silently enabled) and always overwrote Enabled on update, so a PATCH that
omitted the toggle reset a disabled balancer back to enabled. Parse the
field with strconv.ParseBool and return *bool: absent means "no change"
on update and "true" on create; a malformed value is rejected as 400.
Update keeps the stored Enabled when the pointer is nil.

* fix(sub-balancer): clear deleted inbound from sub_balancers.InboundIds

DelInbound cascaded hosts but left the deleted inbound id in every
sub_balancers.InboundIds, so the balancer kept emitting a member no
subscriber could resolve — a dangling outbound tag with no proxy behind it.
Strip the id inside the existing delete transaction (same shape as the hosts
cascade, #5648); with the last member gone the balancer stops emitting.

* fix(sub-balancer): return not-found when deleting a missing balancer

Delete returned the gorm result error only, which is nil when no row matched,
so the controller reported success:true for an id that never existed — a stale
UI row looked like a clean delete. Check RowsAffected and return a not-found
error on 0 so the toast reflects reality.

* style(sub): shorten leastPing/leastLoad observatory comments

The observatory-emission guard comment and its test comment ran a few
lines long; trim them to a couple of lines each without dropping the
invariant that leastPing/leastLoad require a burst observatory.

* fix(sub): validate observatory setting instead of silently dropping it

SetObservatoryConfig applied whatever survived json.Unmarshal with no checks,
so a bad probe URL ("not-a-url"), non-duration interval/timeout, or even
unparseable JSON was either silently applied or silently ignored. Validate
each field: parse durations with time.ParseDuration, require http(s) URLs for
destination/connectivity, and log a warning naming the field and the bad value
on every fallback — including the unmarshal error, which was a quiet return.
Bad values now keep the built-in defaults instead of leaking into the emitted
burstObservatory.

* fix(sub): deduplicate burst-observatory defaults across Go and frontend

The burst-observatory ping defaults lived in three places that had drifted:
Go defaultSubBalancerObservatoryConfig (http probe, sampling 3), the Zod
PingConfigSchema, and DEFAULT_BURST_OBSERVATORY (both with a connectivity
pre-check URL). Align them to one set: https probe destination, sampling 2,
and empty connectivity (skip the direct pre-check). The settings tab now
parses the stored JSON through PingConfigSchema and seeds its default from
DEFAULT_BURST_OBSERVATORY instead of carrying its own literal.

* refactor(sub): extract proxy outbounds once before the balancer loop

buildBalancerConfig unmarshalled every inbound document and re-extracted its
first outbound on each balancer, so with B balancers and N inbound docs the
same document was parsed B*N times. Pull each doc's proxy outbound in a single
pre-pass over the entries and cache it per entry; buildBalancerConfig now
clones the cached map before retagging, so one parse serves every balancer.
Output is byte-for-byte unchanged.

* fix(sub): form balancer member tags from the inbound protocol, not tcp→vless

balancerTransport derived the bal-N tag suffix from the outbound's transport
network and hard-coded tcp→vless, so a vmess/tcp or trojan/tcp member was
mislabelled "vless" in every client config — the tag lied about the proxy
type. Use the outbound's real protocol as the suffix (bal-1-vmess, bal-1-vless,
bal-1-trojan, …) so the tag names the actual proxy; the selector prefix and
dedup suffix are unchanged. Update the existing tag assertions and add a vmess
case that fails under the old mapping.

* fix(sub-balancer): default strategy to random in the create form

The create-balancer form seeded strategy to 'leastLoad', but the service
validate() defaults an empty strategy to 'random' and the API docs say the
default is 'random' — so a freshly opened form showed leastLoad while saving
without touching the field silently stored random. Align the form default to
'random' so what the admin sees is what gets persisted.

* feat(api-docs): document the SubBalancer response schema

The five sub-balancer endpoints carried no responseSchema, so the API docs
page rendered them without a typed example. Add example: tags to every
SubBalancer field, allow the struct through openapigen, and point the list
(responseSchemaArray) and single-row endpoints at 'SubBalancer'. Regenerate
the Zod/JSON schemas and OpenAPI doc and mirror openapi.json into docs/.

* style(sub-balancer): drop whitespace-only separator lines, add final newline

subBalancer.ts and SubBalancerFormModal.tsx used single-space blank lines as
separators between statements and had no trailing newline. Replace them with
clean empty blank lines and end each file with a newline.

* fix(i18n): translate sub-balancer toasts and observatory note

The sub-balancer toast messages (list/create/update/delete/invalidId) and
the observatory note were left in English across 11 non-English locales
(ar, es, fa, id, ja, pt-BR, tr, uk, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW) while every other key
in the subBalancers block was already translated. Translate them to match the
meaning and terminology of the surrounding keys in each file; the JSON
structure and keys are unchanged.

* fix(sub-balancer): hide disabled inbounds from the member picker

The picker offered every protocol-eligible inbound regardless of its enable
flag, but getInboundsBySubId filters `AND inbounds.enable = true`. A disabled
member is therefore dropped from every subscriber's entries, and when it was
the balancer's only member the balancer document silently stops being emitted
— with nothing in the UI explaining why. TestSubJson_BalancerSkippedWhenAll
MembersDisabled already documents that backend behavior.

Filter the way the sibling client picker has since #5645: hide disabled
inbounds, but keep one that is already selected so editing an existing
balancer cannot silently drop a member.

Drop the `?? []` on the useWatch result so the new useMemo dependency stays
referentially stable.

* style(sub): trim the balancerMemberSuffix comment to the 2-line cap

Comment blocks in committed Go are capped at 2 lines; the name already carries
what the function picks, so keep only the why.

CLAUDE.md

Operational guide for AI agents working in this repo. Long-form human docs: CONTRIBUTING.md (setup, testing philosophy) and frontend/README.md. Read those before large changes. This file is the short, must-follow version. For a deep navigation map (request lifecycle, cron-job table, symptom → file index, layering rules), read docs/architecture.md on demand — do not guess file locations when it can answer in one hop.

Stack

  • Backend: Go 1.27 (module github.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/v3), Gin, GORM. Runs Xray-core as a managed child process (internal/xray/process.go) and imports github.com/xtls/xray-core for config types + gRPC stats/handler/router API. MTProto inbounds run a second managed child — the mtg-multi binary (a multi-secret mtg fork — NOT a Go dependency; its prebuilt release binary is fetched at image/release build time by DockerInit.sh + release.yml, panel-side code in internal/mtproto/) — outside Xray, one process per inbound serving each client's FakeTLS secret via the fork's [secrets] section (plus per-client ad-tags via [secret-ad-tags] and per-client data quota / expiry via [secret-limits], mapped from the client's totalGB/expiryTime). Client, ad-tag and quota/expiry edits are hot-applied through the fork's management API (PUT /secrets, bearer-token guarded) so connections survive; the manager falls back to a process restart on older binaries. A client's panel-side traffic reset also calls POST /secrets/{name}/reset-quota so a renewed client is not re-blocked by the sidecar's quota counter.
  • Storage: SQLite by default (/etc/x-ui/x-ui.db on Linux; the executable dir on Windows), PostgreSQL optional (XUI_DB_TYPE / XUI_DB_DSN). The CGo SQLite driver (mattn/go-sqlite3) needs a C compiler — CGO_ENABLED=0 builds fail.
  • Frontend: React 19 + Ant Design 6 + Vite 8 + TypeScript in frontend/, built into internal/web/dist/ (gitignored) and embedded via embed.FS.

Repo map

  • main.go — entry point + x-ui CLI (run, migrate, migrate-db, setting, cert).
  • internal/config/ — env parsing (XUI_DEBUG, XUI_LOG_LEVEL, XUI_LOG_FOLDER, XUI_BIN_FOLDER, XUI_SKIP_HSTS, XUI_PORT, XUI_DB_*).
  • internal/database/ + internal/database/model/ — GORM schema (~24 models; Inbound, Client, Setting, User are the core), inbound Protocol enum, AutoMigrate + hand-written migrations in db.go.
  • internal/xray/ — Xray child-process lifecycle, config generation, gRPC API.
  • internal/xray/geodata/ — streaming geosite/geoip .dat reader (cached category index + paged entries) and geosite:/geoip:/ext: token parsing.
  • internal/mtproto/ — MTProto inbounds via the bundled mtg-multi binary.
  • internal/pia/ — PIA WireGuard protocol client (auth, signed server list, /addKey).
  • internal/sub/ — subscription server (raw / JSON / Clash).
  • internal/eventbus/ — in-process pub/sub (outbound/node health, xray.crash, cpu.high, memory.high, login.attempt).
  • internal/logger/, internal/util/ (link, crypto, sys, ldap, …), internal/tunnelmonitor/ — shared infrastructure.
  • internal/web/ — Gin server (embeds dist/ + translation/).
    • controller/ — panel + REST API handlers; OpenAPI at /panel/api/openapi.json.
    • service/ — business logic (InboundService, SettingService, XrayService, node sync); subpackages tgbot/, email/, outbound/, panel/, integration/.
    • job/ — 17 cron jobs (traffic, fail2ban IP-limit, node heartbeat/sync, LDAP, CPU/memory watchdogs, …); full table in docs/architecture.md §5.4.
    • middleware/, entity/, global/, session/ (CSRF), network/, runtime/ (master/sub-node over mTLS), websocket/.
    • locale/ + translation/ — i18n, 13 embedded locale JSON files.
  • frontend/ — React + TS source (see frontend/CLAUDE.md).
  • tools/openapigen/ — Go generator that emits frontend types + Zod/JSON schemas into frontend/src/generated/ from Go structs. The OpenAPI doc itself (frontend/public/openapi.json) is assembled from those + endpoints.ts by frontend/scripts/build-openapi.mjs.
  • docs/ — separate Next.js/Fumadocs site (pnpm, own CI in docs-ci.yml, outside make verify). Holds a THIRD independent implementation of link/subscription generation in docs/lib/xray/ — check it whenever share-link or install-command output changes.

Hard rules (non-negotiable)

  • Fix size must match bug size. Find the root cause, then make the SMALLEST change that removes it — a one-line guard beats a new subsystem. A small bug does not earn new columns, jobs, abstractions, config knobs or helper layers. If a fix genuinely needs new architecture, say so and get agreement first; never ship it unasked next to the fix.
  • Comments in committed Go/TS: 2 lines MAX per comment block. Make the name carry the meaning first and rename rather than annotate; spend the 2 lines on the why a name cannot hold — an invariant, an issue number, a non-obvious constraint. Exempt: //go:build, //go:generate, and other directives. HTML <!-- --> is fine. (A linter cannot enforce this — you must.)
  • New g.POST/g.GET in internal/web/controller/ REQUIRES a matching entry in frontend/src/pages/api-docs/endpoints.ts, then make gen (or cd frontend && npm run gen). Hand-maintained but pinned both ways by TestRouteRegistryContract (internal/web/routes_contract_test.go): a missing OR stale entry fails make test-go. Scope: /panel/api/* + a few session routes; sub-server routes are exempt.
  • Response examples come from Go struct example: tags via tools/openapigen — never hand-write them. A new struct must be added to openapigen's StructAllow allowlist (tools/openapigen/main.go) or it is silently omitted from schemas/examples (and build-openapi.mjs then fails on the missing schema).
  • A new or renamed endpoint has a FOURTH step nothing checks: copy frontend/public/openapi.jsondocs/public/openapi.json, then cd docs && pnpm gen:api to refresh the MDX under docs/content/docs/en/reference/api/. docs-ci.yml fires only on docs/**.
  • A new English i18n key goes in EVERY locale JSON in internal/web/translation/ (13 files) AND must be referenced from frontend/src or Go in the SAME commit — frontend/src/test/i18n-dead-keys.test.ts fails both ways. It is a frontend test, so run npm test, not just make test-go. At runtime the frontend falls back to en-US; Go (internal/web/locale/) returns "" for an unknown key.
  • DB / model changes require a migration in internal/database/db.go.
  • Every state-changing inbound/client op dispatches through runtime.Runtime (internal/web/runtime/) — never straight to internal/xray/api.go, never from a controller or cron job. A direct call passes every local test and silently breaks every multi-node deployment. Other layering rules: docs/architecture.md §8.
  • Conventional commits: type(area): short imperative summary, then a body explaining the why. Types in use: fix, feat, chore, refactor, perf, docs, style.

Go conventions

  • Stdlib testing only (no testify). Table-driven, t.Run subtests, t.Helper() on helpers. Assert the exact value / typed error / emitted string, never just err != nil. Prefer real deps over mocks: throwaway DB via database.InitDB(filepath.Join(t.TempDir(), "x-ui.db")) + t.Cleanup(func() { _ = database.CloseDB() }); httptest for HTTP. internal/sub's initSubDB(t) is the template.
  • A test must fail without its fix. Write it, revert the fix, watch it go red, restore. A test that passes either way is worse than no test: it certifies nothing and then gets cited as proof the fix works.
  • Test what can actually break. No test for a getter, a constant, a rename, a pure map lookup, or inputs the function can never receive. One real test that drives the bug through the actual code path beats five that restate the code.
  • Code must pass golangci-lint run (gofumpt + goimports formatting): make lint.
  • Postgres, xray-gRPC-e2e and scale tests t.Skip unless XUI_TEST_PG_DSN, XUI_DB_TYPE+XUI_DB_DSN, XRAY_E2E_BINARY or XUI_SCALE_TEST is set — a green go test ./... does not mean those paths ran.

Frontend conventions (summary; full version in frontend/CLAUDE.md)

  • Ant Design 6 only — no Tailwind/shadcn. Targeted tweaks, not rewrites.
  • TS strict; @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any is an error. Zod schemas in src/schemas/ are the source of truth; infer types with z.infer, never hand-write. Do not edit src/generated/.
  • Node 24 (.nvmrc) — make gen imports .ts directly and needs its type stripping; Node 22 dies with ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION. npm test includes a headless-Chromium Storybook project, so run npx playwright install --with-deps chromium once or make verify fails.
  • Editing frontend/src does NOT change what users see until the Vite build is regenerated into internal/web/dist/. In XUI_DEBUG=true, HTML is served from the frozen embedded FS but JS/CSS off disk — after npm run build you MUST restart go run . or you get a blank page with 404s.
  • After touching share-link logic (src/lib/xray/), run npm run test (golden fixtures); regenerate snapshots (npx vitest run -u) only for intentional output changes, never to make a red test green.

Build, test, verify

A fresh clone has no internal/web/dist/, so a bare go build ./... dies with pattern all:dist: no matching files found while ~35 other packages pass — it reads as a broken repo, not a missing step. Run make dist-stub once; every make Go target already depends on it, which is why make test-go beats go test ./.... Run make help for all targets. The local gate:

make verify   # gen-check + lint + typecheck + test + build + build-storybook

That is the fast gate, not all of CI. ci.yml also runs make race, make vulncheck, a live-Postgres job (where a SKIP counts as a failure) and a 30s fuzz smoke on FuzzParseLink/FuzzDecodeCertPin — run those locally when you touch DB/dialect or parser code.

Common targets: make gen (regenerate Zod/OpenAPI), make lint (Go + frontend), make test (Go -shuffle=on + frontend), make race, make build. See Makefile.

Definition of done (before opening a PR)

  1. make verify passes — its gen-check already runs make gen and fails on a dirty frontend/src/generated / frontend/public/openapi.json.
  2. Diff is focused; refactors are separate from feature work.
