 Optional lightweight reverse proxy mode is available at `/proxy/**` when `loadbalancerpro.proxy.enabled=true`. It forwards real HTTP requests to configured local or simulated upstreams, removes the `/proxy` prefix, preserves the method, path suffix, query string, request body, safe headers, upstream status, and upstream body, and adds `X-LoadBalancerPro-Upstream` plus `X-LoadBalancerPro-Strategy` response headers. The first operator-configured proxy foundation supports named `loadbalancerpro.proxy.routes.<routeName>` entries with path prefixes, per-route strategy selection, and route-specific backend targets without editing Java code; the legacy global upstream list remains supported for existing demos. It reuses the request-level routing strategy registry and skips upstreams configured with `healthy=false`. Optional active health checks can dynamically skip failing local upstreams, optional bounded retries can select another eligible upstream for configured idempotent methods, optional process-local cooldown can temporarily skip repeatedly failing upstreams, and `GET /api/proxy/status` exposes read-only process-local forwarding/failure/retry/cooldown/status-class counters plus effective health state. Open `http://localhost:8080/proxy-status.html` for a no-dependency read-only browser view of that status JSON, upstream table, counters, retry/cooldown state, and local demo curl commands. In prod or cloud-sandbox API-key mode, `/proxy/**` and `GET /api/proxy/status` require `X-API-Key`; in OAuth2 mode they require the configured allocation role, which defaults to `operator`. Local/default API-key mode stays demo-friendly, so keep proxy mode loopback-bound or behind trusted private controls unless deployment-level access control and TLS termination are in place. Strategy-specific local recipes now cover `ROUND_ROBIN`, `WEIGHTED_ROUND_ROBIN`, and health-aware failover selected-upstream evidence with loopback backends only; [`PROXY_DEMO_STACK.md`](docs/PROXY_DEMO_STACK.md) is the single quick-start path for Windows PowerShell, Unix shell, checked-in demo profiles, the Java `ProxyDemoFixtureLauncher`, startup commands, curl verification, status-page review, cleanup, and troubleshooting. [`OPERATOR_PACKAGING.md`](docs/OPERATOR_PACKAGING.md) adds a one-command Maven exec fixture launcher recipe, packaged-jar proxy startup examples, and copy/adapt real-backend property examples under `docs/examples/proxy`. [`OPERATOR_DISTRIBUTION_SMOKE_KIT.md`](docs/OPERATOR_DISTRIBUTION_SMOKE_KIT.md) adds release-free smoke checks for packaged jar startup, Maven exec launcher readiness, proxy profiles, real-backend examples, and packaged static resources. [`LOCAL_ARTIFACT_VERIFICATION.md`](docs/LOCAL_ARTIFACT_VERIFICATION.md) adds release-free local and CI SHA-256, `jar tf`, manifest/resource, static page, demo profile, and launcher-class verification commands, including the `packaged-artifact-smoke` workflow artifact. [`CI_ARTIFACT_CONSUMER_GUIDE.md`](docs/CI_ARTIFACT_CONSUMER_GUIDE.md) shows how to consume JaCoCo, packaged artifact smoke, and SBOM workflow artifacts without creating release assets. [`RELEASE_CANDIDATE_DRY_RUN.md`](docs/RELEASE_CANDIDATE_DRY_RUN.md) turns those checks into one release-free go/no-go packet. The mode is disabled by default, retries and cooldown are disabled by default, non-idempotent retries require explicit opt-in, it does not construct `CloudManager`, does not mutate cloud state, does not persist metrics or cooldown state, and is not a production gateway, benchmark, certification, legal compliance proof, identity proof, TLS terminator, or WebSocket proxy.

 Open `http://localhost:8080/routing-demo.html` for the Enterprise Lab routing cockpit legacy route. It calls `/api/health`, Actuator readiness, and the existing `/api/routing/compare` endpoint; loads a deterministic controlled lab routing scenario; displays the selected server and reason per strategy; preserves raw JSON; and provides copyable curl, request payload, normalized response-summary blocks, and reviewer/operator proof notes. Import `postman/LoadBalancerPro.postman_collection.json` and run the legacy `Routing Decision Demo` folder for Postman parity. The routing cockpit is local/operator lab review only, not certification, not benchmark proof, not legal compliance proof, and not identity proof.
