Behavior

  1. Parses and validates the config file. Exits with an error if invalid.
  2. Starts the health endpoint immediately (serves 503).
  3. Resolves all secrets from configured sources. Exits if any secret resolution fails.
  4. Generates or loads TLS certificates (if TLS is enabled).
  5. Binds the listener on the configured address.
  6. Marks the health endpoint as ready (200).
  7. Begins accepting connections.
The proxy runs in the foreground. Use Ctrl+C to stop, or run as a background service.
