System Topology

The reference deployment pairs clash-rs clients with one or multiple Chimera frontends, all built on the shared primitives exposed by chimera_core. Clients typically run on user devices or edge nodes where they terminate local applications and translate outbound traffic into proxy-aware streams. These streams traverse secure tunnels toward Chimera, which performs authentication, routing, and protocol termination before forwarding packets to upstream services or the public internet.

Because the stack centers on chimera_core, upgrades to cipher suites, multiplexing strategies, or configuration schemas become instantly available to both sides, minimizing version skew. Observability is likewise unified: telemetry emitted at each layer shares identifiers so that request flows remain traceable end to end.
