fix(aws-lambda): keep ALB query parameters encoded once and resolve ALB client IP - #328

Conversation
…LB client IP - ALB passes query parameters undecoded, so they are no longer encoded again (`?q=a%20b` stayed `?q=a%2520b`) - ALB events have no `sourceIp`, so the X-Forwarded-For entry the load balancer appends is used as the peer Part of h3js#314

- Around line 49-52: Update the ALB handling branch around isALBEvent and
forwardedFor so the final X-Forwarded-For entry is used as sourceIp only when an
explicit append-mode guarantee is available; otherwise leave sourceIp unset to
avoid trusting client-supplied preserve-mode values. Preserve the existing list
trimming behavior when append mode is confirmed.
- Line 51: Normalize the value assigned to sourceIp in the ALB client-port
handling path before proxy trust and IP resolution: remove IPv6 brackets and an
optional port, while preserving plain IPv6 addresses and treating an empty
result as undefined. Update the surrounding list-pop logic without changing
downstream isTrustedProxy behavior.

Require ALB append mode before trusting the final address.
When an ALB uses X-Forwarded-For preserve mode, it does not append the connection peer. A client can then supply the final entry. This branch assigns that entry to sourceIp, and the default request.ip becomes spoofable even without trustProxy. Require an explicit append-mode deployment guarantee, or leave the peer IP unset when that guarantee is unavailable. AWS documents preserve mode as a supported ALB configuration.

Part of #314. This covers the double-encoded query and
request.ipitems. The crash in multi-value mode is the header-reading problem #316 already handles, so this PR doesn't touch headers.Double-encoded query
ALB doesn't decode query parameters (AWS docs: "If the query parameters are URL-encoded, the load balancer does not decode them").
stringifyQuerythen encoded them again, so?q=a%20bturned into?q=a%2520b.For events with
requestContext.elb, keys and values are now joined as they arrive, in single-value and multi-value mode:?foo/?=rules as v1 events.#is escaped to%23so it can't start a fragment and cut the query short.API Gateway v1 events still go through
URLSearchParamsas before.request.ipALB events don't have
requestContext.identity.sourceIp, sorequest.ipwas alwaysundefined. In its defaultappendmode, ALB adds the address of the client it accepted the connection from as the lastX-Forwarded-Forentry (docs). That entry is now used as the peer, likesourceIpis for API Gateway, and the rest of the header becomes the forwarded chain:trustProxy,request.ipis the address ALB saw. Client-supplied entries to the left of it are ignored.trustProxy, the chain is walked right-to-left from that peer, as for the other events. The URL host/proto hop count uses the same peer.X-Forwarded-For(for exampleremovemode) meansrequest.ipstaysundefined, same as before.routing.http.xff_client_port.enabled), ALB appendsip:portor[ipv6]:port. The port and brackets are dropped from that peer entry. A bare IPv6 address stays intact.This assumes
appendmode, the ALB default. Inpreservemode, ALB passesX-Forwarded-Forthrough unchanged, so the last entry is whatever the client sent, and nothing in the Lambda event tells the two modes apart. Deployments that usepreserveshouldn't rely onrequest.ipfrom this adapter.Tests
