Allow callers to inject a custom dialer function via WithDialer() that flows through to the tlsdialer used by each front. This enables kindling to set a single dialer that automatically applies to all fronted connections. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Introduce named DialFunc type for the dialer function signature - Improve WithDialer docstring with more context about how the dialer is used - Add tests: TestWithDialer, TestWithDialerDefault, TestWithDialerFlowsToFronts Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This PR introduces the ability to inject a custom TCP dialer into the fronted package, enabling users to control how the underlying network connections are established. This is particularly useful for routing fronted traffic through a bypass proxy to avoid VPN tunnel loops.
Changes:
- Adds a
DialFunctype andWithDialerfunctional option for custom dialer injection - Threads the custom dialer from the top-level
frontedstruct through to individualfrontinstances via function parameter passing - Includes comprehensive tests verifying custom dialer storage, default dialer fallback, and proper propagation through the call chain

|---|---|
| fronted.go | Defines DialFunc type, adds dialFunc field to fronted struct, implements WithDialer option, sets default dialer in NewFronted, and threads dialer to loadFronts |
| front.go | Adds dialFunc field to front struct, updates newFront signature to accept dialer, and modifies dial() method to use custom dialer with nil fallback |
| fronted_test.go | Adds three comprehensive tests for custom dialer functionality and updates existing TestLoadFronts to pass nil dialer parameter |

TestDomainFrontingWithoutSNIConfig, TestDomainFrontingWithSNIConfig, and TestVet all connect to real CloudFront/Akamai endpoints. These hang indefinitely in GitHub Actions, causing a 10-minute timeout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
tryAllFronts() previously iterated fronts in insertion order. When fronts from multiple sources (embedded config, cache) formed contiguous blocks, a block of stale/unreachable IPs could stall vetting for minutes before working fronts from other sources were tried. Shuffle the snapshot before submitting to the worker pool so fronts from all sources are interleaved. Also remove stale CI skip guards and the noconfig.yaml override from integration tests, and use >= for masquerade count assertions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TestDomainFrontingWithSNIConfig provides its own akamai provider. Without noconfig.yaml, the embedded config loads cloudfront fronts that can be selected first (due to shuffling) and fail the host alias lookup for config.example.com. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TestDomainFrontingWithSNIConfig connects to real Akamai CDN endpoints which are unreliable from GitHub Actions runners, causing 10m timeouts. Restore the CI skip guard for this test only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…es out TestVet iterates through all DefaultCloudfrontMasquerades sequentially, each with a 5s dial timeout. With stale masquerades this exceeds the 10m test timeout in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Coveralls upload is unreliable (530 errors) and blocks the build. Remove the goveralls install and coverage upload steps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
