Review mirror; findings are fixed on the real PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT tunnels support TCP only, not UDP.
    • Updated the Tailscale exit-node description to specify that UDP traffic is included.

docs/proxies.md said a SOCKS5 proxy carries UDP when the provider supports
UDP ASSOCIATE. cp-tunnel lets a socks5 or http tunnel out only over TCP to
the proxy's port, so UDP relays are dropped. The page now says SOCKS5 and
HTTP CONNECT carry TCP only and a Tailscale exit node carries UDP, matching
the comparison page. A test reads the tunnel's egress rule and fails if the
page promises UDP through SOCKS5 again.

Walkthrough

The documentation clarifies which proxy types carry UDP. New tests check the SOCKS/HTTP tunnel rule and detect unsupported UDP claims in the documentation.

Changes: Proxy UDP documentation and checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document and verify UDP support
docs/proxies.md, tests/test_docs_proxy_udp.py
The documentation states that SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT do not carry UDP, while Tailscale exit nodes do. Tests check that the SOCKS/HTTP egress rule allows TCP to the proxy port without UDP and detect matching UDP claims in the documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Detect UDP claims without “UDP ASSOCIATE.”

UDP_PROMISE misses “SOCKS5 carries UDP” and “HTTP CONNECT carries UDP.” Extend the matcher to detect these positive claims while accepting the current negative statements and the Tailscale claim. Add both examples to the matcher tests.

Add matcher fixtures

 def test_the_check_catches_the_old_claims():
     assert promises_udp("| SOCKS5 | host | Carries UDP only if the provider supports SOCKS5 UDP ASSOCIATE. |")
     assert promises_udp("and through SOCKS5\nonly when the provider supports UDP ASSOCIATE.")
+    assert promises_udp("SOCKS5 carries UDP")
+    assert promises_udp("HTTP CONNECT carries UDP")

Update UDP_PROMISE in the matcher so it detects positive claims that SOCKS5 or
HTTP CONNECT carries UDP without requiring “UDP ASSOCIATE.” Preserve its
existing behavior for negative statements and the Tailscale claim, and add both
examples to the matcher tests.
