v1.8.5

🔐 TLS certificates now auto-renew

Fixes the 90-day certificate expiry that silently broke Trojan / Hysteria2 / CDN VLESS / admin TLS on long-running deployments. Renewal was never scheduled, and the renew script never actually invoked certbot (the compose entrypoint override swallowed it). Now:

• New moav cert {status,renew,install,uninstall} command
• Daily renewal via systemd timer (moav-cert-renew.timer; cron.d fallback on non-systemd hosts), auto-installed on moav start when DOMAIN is set — opt out with CERT_AUTORENEW=false
• Cert-consuming services restart automatically only when the certificate actually changed

Existing deployments: moav update then moav cert renew — this recovers an already-expired cert in place; the timer installs itself on the next moav start.

🕵️ AnyTLS protocol (opt-in)

sing-box-native protocol that defeats TLS-in-TLS fingerprinting for higher stealth than Trojan. Reuses the Trojan TLS cert/domain on TCP 8445, full user-bundle/revoke/client-test wiring, EN/FA docs. Off by default (ENABLE_ANYTLS=false) — client support is narrower (Hiddify, sing-box SFA/SFI, NekoBox, mihomo, Shadowrocket 2.2.65+). Thanks @ibeezhan (#132).

📦 Component updates (each reviewed against our exact usage)

• wstunnel 10.5.5 → 10.6.1 — fixes a process-abort panic (erebe/wstunnel#523) that a single port-scan probe against the public ws:// port could trigger, dropping all active WireGuard-over-wstunnel sessions
• telemt 3.4.11 → 3.4.23 — Fake-TLS realism hardening (ServerHello fidelity, ALPN no longer a plaintext marker, synthetic key shares) applies automatically to our tls_emulation mode
• Xray-core v26.5.9 → v26.6.27 — XHTTP inbounds now ignore spoofed X-Forwarded-For (XTLS/Xray-core#6309); finalmask UDP fix improves XDNS reliability (#6331)

⚙️ Network tuning followups

• net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 8192 added to the sysctl bundle (SYN-flood/reconnect-burst resilience)
• moav net apply prints a verification summary after applying
• moav doctor net gains packet-drop / PMTU / CGNAT / MTU checks

Also

• Hysteria2 inbound sets ignore_client_bandwidth: true — keeps clients on BBR instead of Brutal (#131, thanks @ibeezhan)
• Monitoring opt-in prompt defaults to No on <2 GB RAM hosts
• Admin dashboard fails closed on empty/default ADMIN_PASSWORD (#126, thanks @raminrez)
