+# wireguard-go (lx fork) — sagernet + AmneziaWG 2.0
+
+The WireGuard-Go runtime used by **[sing-box-lx](https://github.com/Leadaxe/sing-box-lx)**:
+**[sagernet/wireguard-go](https://github.com/sagernet/wireguard-go)** (the fork sing-box builds on) **+ AmneziaWG 2.0 obfuscation**, merged together.
+
+This is **not** a general-purpose project. It exists for one reason — see below — and lives on the **`lx`** branch.
+
+---
+
+## Why this fork exists
+
+sing-box's WireGuard endpoint needs **sagernet/wireguard-go**'s additions (the `conn.Bind.Send(…, offset)` contract, `device.InputPacket`, reserved/control). AmneziaWG's DPI-evasion obfuscation lives in **[amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go](https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go)**, which is a fork of *upstream* wireguard-go and therefore **lacks** those sagernet additions.
+
+So neither fork alone works for sing-box-lx:
+
+| | sing-box-compat API | AmneziaWG obfuscation |
+|---|:---:|:---:|
+| `sagernet/wireguard-go` | ✅ | ❌ |
+| `amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go` | ❌ | ✅ |
+| **this fork** | ✅ | ✅ |
+
+The approach is **(A): keep the sagernet base, graft the obfuscation onto it.** sing-box compiles unchanged against this fork, and a config without AWG fields behaves exactly like plain WireGuard.
+
+## How the merge works
+
+Both `sagernet/wireguard-go` and `amneziawg-go` descend from the same upstream `git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go`, so they share git history — which makes a real **3-way merge** possible (not a hand-port).
+
+- **Base:** `sagernet/wireguard-go` (the exact commit sing-box pins — currently `506b7631853c`).
+- **Merged in:** `amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go` (a tip with AWG2 / I1–I5 + the S4-keepalive fix).
+- **Key trick:** `MessageEncapsulatingTransportSize` is set to **`0`** in `device/noise-protocol.go`. sing-box-lx does not use sagernet's 8-byte `Bind.Send` headroom, and zeroing it makes the AmneziaWG obfuscation compose cleanly with no weave conflicts in the packet send path.
+- **Isolation:** the obfuscation is confined to `device/` — new files `device/obf*.go`, `device/magic-header.go`, plus grafts in `device/{send,receive,device,uapi}.go`. **`conn/`, `tun/`, `ipc/` stay pure sagernet.**
+- **Module path is unchanged** (`module github.com/sagernet/wireguard-go`) so the consumer plugs it in with a `replace` directive and needs **no import edits**.
+
+## Consumed by
+
+[sing-box-lx](https://github.com/Leadaxe/sing-box-lx) wires this in as a git submodule + a `replace`:
+
+```
+# sing-box-lx/.gitmodules
+[submodule "submodules/wireguard-go"]
+    url = https://github.com/Leadaxe/wireguard-go
+    branch = lx
+
+# sing-box-lx/go.mod   (// lx)
+replace github.com/sagernet/wireguard-go => ./submodules/wireguard-go
+```
+
+Built with the `with_awg` tag, it has been **live-validated** against a real AmneziaWG 2.0 server (handshake + keepalive + outbound traffic) and cross-compiles on linux/darwin/windows × amd64/arm64.
+
+## Maintaining it (rebase onto a new sagernet tag)
+
+When sing-box bumps `sagernet/wireguard-go`, redo the merge:
+
+```sh
+git remote add origin  https://github.com/sagernet/wireguard-go    # base
+git remote add amnezia https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go # obfuscation source
+git fetch --all
+git checkout -b lx <new-sagernet-commit>
+git merge amnezia/master          # real 3-way merge via the shared upstream ancestor
+```
+
+Conflict resolution recipe:
+
+1. New `device/obf*.go` + `device/magic-header.go` come in clean.
+2. **Mechanical** conflicts (amnezia → sagernet import paths, `queueconstants*`, `sticky*`, `tun.go`) → take **ours** (sagernet).
+3. Remove amnezia-added infra duplicates: `conn/gso_*.go`, `outline/*`, `tun/*_test.go`.
+4. `device/device.go` → **union** (sagernet `pauseManager` + amnezia obf fields).
+5. `device/send.go` / `receive.go` → take amnezia's obfuscation, set `MessageEncapsulatingTransportSize = 0`, and keep the 3-arg `bind.Send(…, 0)` calls.
+6. `conn/`, `tun/`, `ipc/`, `go.mod` module path → **ours** (sagernet).
+
+Then in sing-box-lx: bump the submodule, `make -f Makefile.lx lx-build`, and re-test against an AWG2 server.
