Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Authenticated mobile proxy sessions can expose proxy credentials over cleartext HTTP, and oversized CONNECT headers may be accepted. The response-coalescing data path also lacks regression coverage, so the change is not merge-ready without follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 60-62: Update the header-size validation around findHttpHeaderEnd
so responses are rejected when the header terminator is beyond 65,536 bytes, as
well as when no terminator has been found and the buffered data exceeds the
limit; preserve normal processing for headers within the limit.
- Around line 163-170: Update the proxy handling around proxy.protocol and
authorization so credentials are never sent to an unencrypted HTTP proxy: either
establish TLS for an https: proxy or reject username/password credentials when
the protocol is http:. Preserve unauthenticated HTTP proxy support and ensure
netConnect cannot send Proxy-Authorization over plaintext.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Apply the header limit after locating the terminator.
If headerEnd is greater than 65,536, this branch accepts the oversized response because it checks the size only when headerEnd === -1. Reject both incomplete buffers above the limit and completed headers whose terminator exceeds the limit.

Do not send proxy credentials over an unencrypted HTTP connection.
When proxy.protocol is http:, netConnect sends Proxy-Authorization without TLS. An on-path attacker can recover the proxy credentials. Establish TLS to an https: proxy, or reject credentials for http: proxy URLs.

The mobile registration flow can complete by SMS, but the resulting primary session connects to
g.whatsapp.net:443over raw TCP.buildCommsConfigcurrently rejects any configured WebSocket proxy for mobile sessions, so deployments that require egress through an HTTP proxy cannot finish the post-registration login.Validation
