Backport of apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882.

A TLSRoute whose Gateway listener is in mode: Passthrough was translated the same way as Terminate: the data plane terminated TLS, matched the SNI and re-encrypted to the upstream. The stream proxy can now preread the SNI from the ClientHello and forward the connection untouched (apache/apisix#13912), so Passthrough is translated as what it is.

What came across

Area Change
api/adc/types.go snis and tls_passthrough on StreamRoute
internal/adc/translator/tlsroute.go one stream route per rule carrying every SNI, passthrough set from the listener mode
internal/adc/translator/tcproute.go shared the stream-route naming it was duplicating
internal/controller/tlsroute_controller.go, utils.go hostnames intersected with the listener hostname, as HTTPRoute already does
test/conformance/, test/e2e/ the four TLSRoute tests are no longer skipped on the APISIX provider; E2E gains a Passthrough spec

Two defects came out of it upstream and are included:

Multiple hostnames collapsed into one route. ComposeStreamRouteName did not vary per hostname, so a TLSRoute with N hostnames produced N stream routes sharing one ID and only the last survived. They are now one route carrying snis.

Hostnames were not intersected with the listener. A route with *.example.com attached to an abc.example.com listener was programmed as *.example.com. Every Gateway shares one physical stream listen here, so it also answered names belonging to a sibling Gateway's route.

Conflicts resolved

  • Makefile — the upstream hunk is a comment inside a conformance-report metadata block this fork does not carry. Dropped.
  • test/e2e/scaffold/scaffold.go — this fork has an HTTP/2 tunnel upstream does not. Both tunnels kept; encoding/json is an upstream-only import and was not taken.
  • internal/controller/utils_hostname_test.go — this fork keeps those tests in listener_utils_test.go. TestFilterTLSRouteHostnames was moved there and rewritten to use require, matching that file.
  • test/e2e/gatewayapi/tlsroute.go — time was missing from the import block after the merge.

The API7 gateway cannot serve this yet

The last commit skips the four TLSRoute tests on the api7ee provider and records why, so the gap is declared rather than silent.

api7-ee-3-gateway's _M.stream_route schema carries sni only, under additionalProperties = false, and has no tls_passthrough — it predates apache/apisix#13912:

sni = { description = "server name indication", type = "string", pattern = host_def_pat },
-- no snis, no tls_passthrough
additionalProperties = false,

So on the api7ee provider a stream route carrying either field is rejected outright. Two cases reach it:

  • a TLSRoute with two or more hostnames, which now emits snis. On master such a route is already broken — all its stream routes share one ID — but it is rejected rather than degraded now;
  • Passthrough mode, which never worked there.

A single hostname still emits singular sni, and a route without hostnames falls back to sni: "*", which host_def_pat accepts. Those are unaffected.

api7-ee-3-gateway needs snis and tls_passthrough added to that schema, plus the passthrough implementation itself, before the api7ee path works. The control plane side already landed.

Blocked on an ADC release

ADC_VERSION ?= 0.29.0 here, and kind-load-adc-image pulls that tag and retags it as :dev, so the published adc:dev is never what CI runs. The new fields landed in api7/adc#618 (merged) but the newest release, v0.30.5, predates it:

$ docker run --rm -v ...:/w ghcr.io/api7/adc:0.30.5 validate -f /w/adc.yaml
✖ Unrecognized keys: "snis", "tls_passthrough"

$ docker run --rm -v ...:/w ghcr.io/api7/adc:dev validate -f /w/adc.yaml
(passes schema)

E2E and conformance will fail until ADC cuts a release carrying api7/adc#618 and ADC_VERSION is bumped here. Opened as a draft for that reason.

Verified

go build ./..., go vet ./..., make lint (0 issues) and go test ./internal/... all clean, including the ported TestFilterTLSRouteHostnames and the translator's Passthrough cases. E2E and conformance were not run — see above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added TLS passthrough support for Gateway API TLS routes, including matching one or multiple hostnames.
    • TLS routes now match hostnames against their attached listeners. Routes without a matching hostname are rejected.
    • Added guidance on configuring listeners for TLS passthrough.
  • Bug Fixes
    • TLS routes are generated once per rule, avoiding duplicate route sets.
  • Tests
    • Added end-to-end coverage for TLS passthrough.

The stream proxy can now forward a TLS stream to the upstream untouched while
still picking that upstream from the SNI, which it prereads from the
ClientHello rather than learning from a handshake it performed itself
(apache/apisix#13912). That is exactly what Gateway API asks of a listener in
Passthrough mode, and until now the only thing the stream subsystem could not
do - routing by SNI implied terminating.

A Passthrough listener therefore behaved as Terminate: the translator never
looked at tls.mode, so the gateway decrypted a stream the backend was supposed
to own, and the handshake failed against a certificate the gateway does not
have.

- TLSRoute now reads the tls.mode of the listeners it attached to and sets
  tls_passthrough on the stream routes bound to a Passthrough port. Its
  controller populates tctx.Listeners for that, as the TCPRoute and UDPRoute
  ones already did.
- Every matched listener on a port has to agree on the mode. A physical stream
  listen is either terminating or prereading, never both, so listeners that
  disagree fall back to terminating rather than to a guess. Within one Gateway
  such a port is already ProtocolConflict and attaches no routes at all.

Two adjacent defects in the same code, both of which passthrough would have
made visible:

- every hostname produced its own StreamRoute under one name, so they all
  collapsed onto a single id and only the last survived. One StreamRoute now
  carries them all - sni for a single hostname, snis beyond that, never both,
  which APISIX rejects.
- the StreamRoutes carried no server_port, so several listener ports fell onto
  one route and shared an id (the TCPRoute/UDPRoute side of this was #2802).
  TLSRoute now goes through the same per-port fan-out, gated by the same
  listener_port_match_mode.

A TLSRoute with no hostnames used to produce no StreamRoute at all - attached,
but unserved. It now falls back to the listener hostnames and, failing those,
to the catch-all "*".

Conformance: the four TLSRoute tests pinned to Passthrough are no longer
skipped. Their Gateway listener is fixed at port 443, so the conformance data
plane points its 443 service port at the stream tls_passthrough listen instead
of the HTTP ssl listen - one port cannot serve both, and the HTTPRoute tests
that would want HTTP-over-TLS there are skipped for unrelated SAN reasons.

E2E adds a Passthrough spec that verifies the served chain against the
backend's own CA: the gateway holds no certificate for a Passthrough listener,
so a chain that validates there can only have come from the backend.

Requires ADC to carry the new fields (api7/adc#618).
A TLSRoute's hostnames become the SNIs its stream routes match on, and they
were used verbatim. Gateway API defines the effective hostnames as the
intersection with the listener hostname, so a route attached to a narrower
listener served names that listener never accepted.

On one shared stream listen that is not merely over-serving. Every Gateway
resolves to the same data plane, so an over-broad SNI takes that name from the
route whose listener does accept it: a route with "*.example.com" attached to
an "abc.example.com" listener answered every *.example.com connection,
including the ones a sibling Gateway's route was there to serve.

HTTPRoute has narrowed its hostnames this way since it was written -
filterHostnames plus getMinimumHostnameIntersection. Both now share
intersectRouteHostnames, and the TLSRoute reconciler applies it exactly as the
HTTPRoute one does, translating the narrowed copy and reporting
NoMatchingListenerHostname when nothing intersects.

The Gateway API conformance test TLSRouteHostnameIntersection is what surfaced
this; with the fix its intersections pass.
One assertion in it cannot hold here, and not for want of translating
correctly. The test stands four Gateways up on port 443 with different listener
hostnames; every Gateway resolves to the one data plane address and the one
physical stream listen, so their SNI namespaces are shared.

The Gateway whose listener carries no hostname keeps its route's "*.com"
verbatim - correctly, and its own subtest depends on it - which then also
answers "non.matching.com" on the address of the Gateway that should have
rejected that connection. Which Gateway a connection was addressed to is not on
the wire, so nothing is left to discriminate on.

This is the same limitation HTTPRouteMultipleGateways is already skipped for,
and it sits beside it. Every other assertion in the test passes, including the
hostname intersections themselves.
The APISIX suite stops skipping the TLSRoute Passthrough tests in this series,
because APISIX can serve them. The API7 gateway cannot: its stream_route schema
carries `sni` only, under additionalProperties = false, and has no
tls_passthrough - it predates apache/apisix#13912. A stream route carrying
either `snis` or `tls_passthrough` is rejected outright.

Those four tests were never skipped here and have been failing unnoticed behind
continue-on-error. Skipping them with the reason recorded says what is actually
missing, and they come back as soon as the gateway carries the fields.

Walkthrough

The change adds plural SNI and TLS passthrough support to TLSRoute translation. It filters route hostnames against accepted Gateway listeners and adds test infrastructure and coverage for sending HTTPS traffic through an APISIX TLS passthrough listener.

Changes

TLSRoute routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stream-route contract and translation
api/adc/types.go, api/adc/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, internal/adc/translator/tlsroute.go, internal/adc/translator/tlsroute_test.go, internal/adc/translator/l4route_test.go, docs/en/latest/concepts/gateway-api.md
StreamRoute adds SNIs and TLSPassthrough. TLSRoute translation creates one stream route per rule, sets singular or plural SNI matches, and marks routes for passthrough when matching TLS listeners use that mode.
Listener hostname filtering
internal/controller/utils.go, internal/controller/tlsroute_controller.go, internal/controller/listener_utils_test.go
TLSRoute hostnames are intersected with hostnames from accepted listener contexts. Filtering errors mark the route unaccepted, and the provider receives the filtered route when filtering succeeds.
Passthrough test infrastructure

The scaffold can configure the HTTPS target port and forward the tls-passthrough Service port through a tunnel. The APISIX test manifest exposes the passthrough listener on port 9120.
Passthrough conformance and end-to-end coverage

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 303d6

TLSRoutes attached to several TLS listeners can generate stream routes with incorrect SNI matching. A route can then accept hostnames on a port whose listener does not allow them. A route without hostnames can also fail to match traffic on a listener that should accept any hostname. Fix the per-listener SNI derivation before merging. The test tunnel leak is minor.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review

Explanation

The new passthrough E2E path is not robust on the scaffold's documented port-forward setup. tlsPassthroughTunnel performs a raw tls.DialWithDialer against t.Endpoint() and the HTTPS client also uses tunnel.Endpoint(). The existing scaffold states that terratest endpoints use localhost:<port> and that raw TCP dials can fail because the port-forward may bind only IPv4; it already converts the TCP endpoint to 127.0.0.1 for this reason. The new TLS raw dial does not apply that conversion, so the handshake probe can retry for two minutes and the E2E test can fail before it validates TLSRoute Passthrough.

Resolution

Use an IPv4-safe endpoint for both the handshake probe and the returned HTTPS client, for example by replacing the localhost host in t.Endpoint() with 127.0.0.1 or by reusing a shared endpoint helper. Keep the handshake retry, then run the passthrough E2E test on the supported Kubernetes port-forward environments.

Derive the SNI set for each listener port.

A TLSRoute can attach to multiple listeners when its hostnames intersect each listener. If port 9110 accepts a.example.com and port 9120 accepts b.example.com, the translator emits one StreamRoute per port but assigns [a.example.com, b.example.com] to both routes. This allows each port-specific route to match a hostname that its listener does not accept.

Intersect the route hostnames with only the listeners for the current port before setting SNI or SNIs. Apply the same per-port filtering to the fallback set for routes without hostnames.

The finding is valid — I reproduced the reasoning in the code — but I would rather not fix it inside this PR, for two reasons.

It is pre-existing, and master is worse. On master the loop is per hostname, and buildL4StreamRoutes names routes by rule and port only:

// internal/adc/translator/tlsroute.go (master)
for _, host := range hosts {
    streamRoutes, err := t.buildL4StreamRoutes(tctx, ns, name, ruleIndex, "TLS", "TLSRoute", labels)
    for _, streamRoute := range streamRoutes { streamRoute.SNI = host }
    service.StreamRoutes = append(service.StreamRoutes, streamRoutes...)
}
// internal/adc/translator/tcproute.go
streamRouteName := adctypes.ComposeStreamRouteName(namespace, name, ruleKey, typ)  // ruleKey = "<rule>" or "<rule>-<port>"

With hostnames [a,b] and listener ports [9110, 9120] that appends four routes under two ids, so the last hostname wins per port: 9110 and 9120 both end up serving b.example.com and a.example.com is dropped entirely. This PR replaces that with one route per port carrying both SNIs — still too wide, as you say, but no longer losing a hostname.

A correct per-port fix needs the hostname matcher where the translator can reach it. The wildcard semantics live in HostnamesMatch, in internal/controller, and internal/controller is imported only by internal/manager, internal/webhook/v1 and cmd/root — all layers above. internal/adc/translator sits below, reached through internal/provider. It does compile (no cycle), but it would be the only inverted dependency in the tree, so doing this properly means moving HostnamesMatch to a neutral package — a refactor that touches the controller and wants to land in the upstream repository at the same time, since the same code is in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882.

So: real defect, strictly improved here, and I would like to take it as a focused follow-up across both repositories rather than widening a Passthrough PR that has already been rebased twice. Happy to do it in this PR instead if you would rather not split it.

@AlinsRan, a focused follow-up across both repositories is reasonable. This PR removes the duplicate-ID hostname loss, while the per-port SNI filtering defect remains. I do not insist on expanding this PR.

Thanks for the architecture guidance. The follow-up should move HostnamesMatch to a neutral package, derive SNI sets per listener port, and test both explicit and omitted route hostnames.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue in api7/api7-ingress-controller, with links to this thread and the upstream PR?

Learning: In api7/api7-ingress-controller's Go architecture, internal/adc/translator is a lower layer reached through internal/provider, while internal/controller is a higher layer. HostnamesMatch currently implements wildcard hostname matching in internal/controller. When translation needs the same hostname matching semantics, move the matcher to a neutral shared package rather than adding an internal/adc/translator dependency on internal/controller.

Learning: In the Gateway API route-parent parsing/translation flow, resolve explicit listener targeting per *parent reference* against that parent reference’s own Gateway and its matched listeners. `ParseRouteParentRefs` records the result in `RouteParentRefContext.ExplicitListenerMatch`, and this is aggregated into `TranslateContext.HasExplicitListenerMatch`. Translator logic must treat this as the source of truth and must not re-derive explicit listener matching from a flattened/unioned listener set across parents, because identical listener names or ports can exist on different Gateways.

@AlinsRan AlinsRan self-assigned this Sep 20, 2026
The four TLSRoute tests this series stops skipping fail on this job, and not
in traffic - the routes never reach the data plane:

    Accepted condition set to Status False with Reason SyncFailed
    HTTP 400 {"code":"unrecognized_keys","keys":["tls_passthrough"],
              "path":["services",0,"stream_routes",0]}

ADC learned `snis` and `tls_passthrough` in api7/adc#618, which no release
carries yet. `kind-load-adc-image` pulls `adc:$(ADC_VERSION)` and retags it as
`:dev`, so the Makefile default 0.29.0 is what ran.

Both e2e workflows already set `ADC_VERSION: dev` at the workflow level; this
job had it commented out, and in the "Build images" step env, where it could
never have reached `kind-load-adc-image` anyway. Declared the same way as the
siblings instead.
The API7 gateway's stream_route schema carries `sni` only, under
additionalProperties = false, and has no tls_passthrough, so the route the spec
applies never reaches the data plane. The control plane rejects it first:

    PUT /apisix/admin/stream_routes/... 400
    can not create a Stream Route to the HTTP Service

Same gap the api7ee conformance suite now declares, so the spec declares it the
same way rather than failing the job. The APISIX providers keep running it.
Backport of the same fix in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882, where this
spec failed on every attempt across both providers until it landed.

The tunnel was forwarded alongside the HTTP ones when the data plane was
deployed, and handed to the spec as-is. Two problems with that. The forward can
die mid-flight - inside the pod's netns:

    an error occurred forwarding <local> -> 9120: ...
      read tcp4 127.0.0.1:...->127.0.0.1:9120: read: connection reset by peer

after which the local end is simply gone, and every request reports

    dial tcp [::1]:<local>: connect: connection refused

which points at the wrong layer: a reset rather than ECONNREFUSED means the
data plane listened and hung up, and the stream route synced for it is correct.
What makes the far end reset is not established, and this does not guess at it.
And checking the forward with a bare TCP dial proves nothing, because kubectl
port-forward accepts locally first and only then tries to proxy.

So the tunnel is now proven the way the spec uses it - a real handshake for the
SNI - and an attempt that cannot complete one closes the forward and builds
another. It is also forwarded on demand: createDataplaneTunnels runs for every
spec in the suite, so one consumer was costing ~118 forwards.

tlsPassthroughTunnel is byte-identical to the upstream version; the HTTP/2
tunnel this fork carries is kept alongside.

Valid, and now reported independently by two reviewers, so I want to fix it — but it needs one thing moved first, and I would rather do that as its own change across both repositories.

Deriving the set per port means intersecting the route hostnames with only the listeners on that port, which needs the Gateway API wildcard semantics. They live in HostnamesMatch, in internal/controller, and that package is imported only by internal/manager, internal/webhook/v1 and cmd/root — all above it. internal/adc/translator sits below, reached through internal/provider. Importing upward compiles (no cycle; I checked) but it would be the only inverted edge in the tree, so the right move is to lift HostnamesMatch into a neutral package — and the same code is in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882, so it should land on both sides together.

Worth recording what the current behaviour actually is, because this PR improves it rather than introducing it. On master the loop is per hostname and buildL4StreamRoutes names by rule and port only, so hostnames [a,b] over ports [9110,9120] append four routes under two ids: the last hostname wins per port, both ports serve b.example.com, and a.example.com is dropped. This PR makes each port carry both SNIs — still wider than the listener accepts, as you say, but no longer losing a hostname.

Happy to fold it in here instead if you would rather not split it.

Confirmed: portsWithConflictingTLSMode is evaluated per Gateway, inside the parentRef loop, so two Gateways that disagree on the mode of the same physical port are not detected and the route stays Accepted=True.

One part of this got better in 5f628b8. tlsPassthroughOnPort reads tctx.Listeners, which until now dropped one of two same-named listeners on the same port, so whether it even saw the disagreement depended on parentRef order. With de-duplication gone it sees both and returns false deterministically — Terminate, the mode a listen has when nothing opts in.

What it still does not do is reject. Choosing the conservative side keeps the data plane from prereading a stream the operator asked to terminate, but you are right that it leaves Gateway A quietly violated. Making that a rejection is a conflict-detection change spanning parentRefs — it belongs with the aggregated-conflict handling rather than inside a per-port predicate, and it needs the same treatment in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882. I would rather raise it as its own issue than decide route-acceptance policy in a passthrough PR; say the word if you want it here.

Confirmed, and fixed in 5f628b8 — but by taking the upstream form rather than widening the key.

The fork was keying by name and port:

type listenerKey struct {
	name string
	port gatewayv1.PortNumber
}

which collapses the conventional tls:443 that two Gateways both declare, even when they disagree on hostname or tls.mode. apache/apisix-ingress-controller had already removed de-duplication outright:

// appendListeners appends listeners without de-duplication.
// Route translation aggregates listeners across multiple Gateways, and listener
// names are only unique within a single Gateway.
func appendListeners(target []gatewayv1.Listener, source ...gatewayv1.Listener) []gatewayv1.Listener {
	return append(target, source...)
}

so the fork now carries that verbatim, along with its table test. Duplicates are harmless downstream — listenerPortSet is a set, and tlsRouteSNIs de-duplicates the hostname fallback — and this keeps the two repositories identical rather than giving the fork a key upstream does not have.

Comment thread api/adc/types.go Outdated
master's #484 landed the per-listener-port StreamRoute work this series also
carried, extracted as buildL4StreamRoutes and now returning an error. Resolved
onto master's version, which makes this file the same shape as the upstream PR:

- TLSRoute builds one set of stream routes per rule carrying every SNI, instead
  of master's loop over hostnames. buildL4StreamRoutes names routes by rule and
  port only, so N hostnames produced N sets per port sharing one ID and only the
  last survived - master serves the last hostname on every port and loses the
  rest.
- Dropped l4StreamRoutePorts, which master superseded by inlining.
- Dropped TestTranslateTLSRouteServerPort from tlsroute_test.go. master's
  l4route_serverport_test.go covers the same ground across eight listener modes,
  including cases this one did not have.
… scaffold

Three findings from the PR review, all confirmed in the code.

**A rejected parentRef widened the hostname intersection.**
ParseRouteParentRefs returns a context per parentRef whether or not it was
accepted, and a rejected one carries no matched listener - `Listener` nil,
`Listeners` empty, `ListenerName` empty - so listenersForGatewayContext falls
through to its last branch:

```go
return gateway.Gateway.Spec.Listeners
```

every listener on that Gateway. A hostname only that Gateway accepts therefore
survived intersectRouteHostnames and, for a TLSRoute, became an SNI served
through the parentRef that *was* accepted. Only accepted contexts may widen the
set now. This is pre-existing behaviour of filterHostnames for HTTPRoute, which
this series extended to TLSRoute by sharing the helper; a test covers both the
union and the minimum-intersection branch.

**The passthrough tunnel ignored the configured kubeconfig.**
It built fresh `NewKubectlOptions("", "", ns)` while every other dataplane
tunnel is forwarded with the scaffold's own options, so a run that sets a
kubeconfig or context would have targeted the ambient cluster instead.

**An additional gateway dropped a ServiceHTTPSTargetPort override.**
CreateAdditionalGatewayWithOptions copies the HTTP and HTTPS port overrides but
not the target port, so an additional gateway stayed on 9443 and could not be
pointed at the tls_passthrough listen.
ADC 0.29.0 rejects both fields outright, so a multi-host or Passthrough
TLSRoute fails to sync on the default path:

    HTTP 400 {"code":"unrecognized_keys","keys":["tls_passthrough"],
              "path":["services",0,"stream_routes",0]}

CI was unaffected because both e2e workflows and now the conformance one set
ADC_VERSION=dev, but anything using the Makefile default - a local `make
e2e-test`, or a deployment built from it - hits this.

0.31.0 is the first release containing api7/adc commit 63a09371 (feat(core):
support snis and tls_passthrough configurations for stream route); verified
with `gh api repos/api7/adc/compare/63a09371...v0.31.0` reporting behind_by 0.
So that this test reads the same in both repositories: the two keep these
hostname tests in differently named files with different local helpers, and the
test body no longer depends on either.

Preserve unrestricted listeners when deriving SNIs.

If a TLSRoute has no hostnames and its matched listeners include one without a hostname and one with foo.example.com, this loop drops the unrestricted listener. tlsRouteSNIs then returns only foo.example.com. The stream route for the unrestricted listener cannot match other SNIs, although an unspecified listener hostname matches all hostnames. Derive matches for each stream route's listener port, and retain catch-all matching where that port has an unrestricted listener. (gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io)

Valid, and it is the third report of the same underlying thing, so let me answer all three in one place.

tlsRouteSNIs computes one set for the whole route and every per-port stream route gets it. That produces two opposite errors depending on which listener you look at, and your example is the second one:

for _, listener := range tctx.Listeners {
	if listener.Hostname == nil || *listener.Hostname == "" {
		continue        // an unrestricted listener contributes nothing
	}
	...
}
if len(snis) == 0 {
	return []string{"*"}   // only reached when no listener has a hostname
}
  • a port whose listener restricts the hostname can be served names it never accepted (reported on tlsroute.go:38 and :162)
  • a port whose listener is unrestricted loses its catch-all as soon as a sibling listener names a hostname — this one

Note that neither can be fixed in isolation. Returning ["*"] whenever some listener is unrestricted trades your case for the first one: the restricted port then matches everything. The only correct answer is to derive the set per port, intersecting the route hostnames with just the listeners on that port and keeping the catch-all where that port has an unrestricted listener. That is one change, not three.

What stops it landing here is where the wildcard semantics live. HostnamesMatch is in internal/controller, a package imported only by internal/manager, internal/webhook/v1 and cmd/root — all above it. internal/adc/translator sits below, reached through internal/provider. Importing upward compiles (I checked: no cycle) but it would be the only inverted edge in the tree, so doing it properly means lifting HostnamesMatch into a neutral package, and the same code is in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882 so it has to land on both sides together.

For the record this PR improves the current behaviour rather than introducing it: on master the loop is per hostname while buildL4StreamRoutes names by rule and port only, so hostnames [a,b] over ports [9110,9120] append four routes under two ids — the last hostname wins per port and the rest are dropped.

I would rather take the per-port derivation as its own change across both repositories than widen this one further. Say the word if you want it here instead.

@AlinsRan Thanks for the clarification. These are three reports of one underlying issue, not three independent fixes. A route-wide "*" fallback would fix the unrestricted port but break the restricted port.

A separate change across both repositories is reasonable. This PR improves the existing duplicate-ID behavior, and the remaining correction requires per-port hostname derivation. I do not request that you expand this PR further.

The follow-up should intersect route hostnames with listeners on each stream route’s port. For routes without hostnames, it should preserve catch-all matching only on ports with an unrestricted listener.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue in api7/api7-ingress-controller that links both PRs? This finding remains open because the correction is deferred.

Learning: In api7/api7-ingress-controller, internal/adc/translator/tlsroute.go must derive TLSRoute SNI matches per stream route's listener port, not once for the whole route. Intersect explicit route hostnames with listeners on that port. When the route has no hostnames, preserve catch-all matching if that port has an unrestricted listener. A route-wide catch-all fallback can incorrectly broaden restricted ports.

Learning: In api7/api7-ingress-controller's Go architecture, internal/adc/translator is a lower layer reached through internal/provider, while internal/controller is a higher layer. HostnamesMatch currently implements wildcard hostname matching in internal/controller. When translation needs the same hostname matching semantics, move the matcher to a neutral shared package rather than adding an internal/adc/translator dependency on internal/controller.

The gap does not exist. api7/api7-ee-3-gateway#2173 forward-ported TLS
passthrough on 2026-09-07, 29 seconds after the upstream apache/apisix#13912
it mirrors, so the gateway has carried `snis`, `tls_passthrough` and the
mutual-exclusion constraint on stream_route since ten days before this series
was opened:

    $ git log -1 --format='%ci %s' 62bca1d2
    2026-09-07 14:52:11 +0800 feat(stream): support TLS passthrough on the stream proxy (#2173)

I read the schema off a checkout that was not on master and concluded the
fields were missing, without checking the ref. The api7ee failure I attached to
that conclusion was a different thing entirely - `can not create a Stream Route
to the HTTP Service`, about the service type, and a retry in the same run
succeeded - so it was never evidence for a missing field.

Both skips are therefore removed, and the Passthrough e2e spec is now identical
to the upstream one. TLSRouteHostnameIntersection stays skipped for the reason
the APISIX suite already records: every Gateway resolves to one data plane
address and one physical stream listen, so their SNI namespaces are shared.
The api7ee e2e leg failed in tlsPassthroughTunnel:

    data plane service has no tls-passthrough port

The gateway has carried TLS passthrough since api7/api7-ee-3-gateway#2173, but
only manifests/apisix.yaml was given the listen; manifests/dp.yaml, which the
API7 data plane is deployed from, never got it. So the capability was there and
the test environment had no port to reach it on.

Added the same three pieces this series added to the APISIX manifest - the
stream_proxy listen, the container port and the Service port - so the spec
exercises passthrough on this provider rather than being skipped for it.

Also reworded the TLSPassthrough doc comment, which said APISIX "only consults
it on a stream listen configured with both tls and tls_passthrough". That is
accurate - stream_tls_route_phase, the only reader of the field, is the preread
phase of a mixed listen - but it reads as though both have to be set for
passthrough to work at all, which a review took it to mean.
A review found that `appendListeners` keyed the aggregate by name and port, and
that this slice spans every Gateway the route attaches to - so the conventional
"tls" listener on 443 that two Gateways both declare collapsed to whichever
parentRef happened to be processed first, taking its hostname and its tls.mode
with it. This series reads both of those per port, so the order decided what
the translator saw.

Upstream had already fixed it, by dropping de-duplication altogether:

```go
// appendListeners appends listeners without de-duplication.
// Route translation aggregates listeners across multiple Gateways, and listener
// names are only unique within a single Gateway.
func appendListeners(target []gatewayv1.Listener, source ...gatewayv1.Listener) []gatewayv1.Listener {
	return append(target, source...)
}
```

Taken verbatim, along with its table test, rather than inventing a wider key
here - duplicates are harmless downstream (`listenerPortSet` is a set,
`tlsRouteSNIs` de-duplicates the hostname fallback) and this keeps the two
repositories identical.
tlsPassthroughTunnel forwards a new port every call and overwrites the stored
handle. Tunnels.Close only knows about the one currently stored, so a spec that
built a second client - one per SNI, say - left the first kubectl port-forward
running until the process exited.
The api7ee conformance suite failed every TLSRoute test, with the data plane
refusing the handshake:

    tcp.go:99: client could not connect: remote error: tls: internal error

The TLSRoute tests pin their Gateway listener to port 443 and dial the Gateway
address there, so 443 has to reach the stream tls_passthrough listen. The
APISIX suite redirects it with ServiceHTTPSTargetPort: 9120; this one still had
443 going to the HTTP ssl listen, which terminates and holds no certificate for
the SNI the tests use - hence the alert from the server side rather than any
routing failure.

The option did not exist on this path: API7DeployOptions had no target port and
dp.yaml hard-coded targetPort: 9443. Both now carry it, defaulting to 9443 so
nothing else changes, and the conformance suite sets 9120.

TLSRouteTerminateSimpleSameNamespace is skipped here for the reason the APISIX
suite already records - it needs a standalone Gateway with no GatewayProxy to
reach Accepted=True - which holds on this provider too, and a 443 pointed at a
prereading listen could not serve it in any case.

These tests failed on master as well (five of them; this branch already skipped
one), so this is not a regression being fixed but a gap the series exposes by
running them.
