Client first packet on every sub-connection signs (clientID || timestamp ||
nonce) and waits for server ack. Server verifies signature and pins clientID
on the sub-connection ctx, eliminating IP-reverse-lookup unreliability for
NAT/localhost scenarios. Sub-conn coverage: Win 12 sites, Linux/macOS 3-4
each. Main connection keeps existing TOKEN_LOGIN flow unchanged.
Includes:
- Protocol structs sized to 512/256 bytes with reserved space for future
extensions (locale, OS info, session token, etc.)
- 5-min timestamp tolerance (Kerberos-grade replay window)
- 10-sec client wait for cross-pacific / weak-network tolerance
- Fix RemoveFromHostList side-effect ordering: MarkDeviceOffline and
m_ActiveWndW.erase now only fire when ctx is actually removed from
m_HostList, preventing sub-conn disconnects from misreporting main as
offline (regression introduced by auth-set clientID on sub ctx)
- Fix latent bug: IOCPClient::m_conn was never assigned in ctor, leaving
GetConnectionAddress() always NULL and FileManager V2 transfer's
srcClientID always 0
Breaking change: new client cannot use sub-features against old server.
New server tolerates legacy clients (no auth). Future tightening can reject
unauthenticated sub-connections via IsAuthenticated() flag.
