Describe the bug

On iOS 26.6.1 (iPhone), AmneziaVPN 5.0.1.5 with self-hosted VLESS/Xray (container amnezia-xray), the VPN connects but disconnects after ~10-25 min, then crash-loops (reconnect dies in ~0.5s). Server is healthy (0 restarts, no errors).

To Reproduce

Self-hosted VLESS/Xray server (works fine from Karing/Happ)
Connect via AmneziaVPN iOS 5.0.1.5
Use 10-25 min
Drops; "plugin died"; auto-reconnect dies again in 0.5s

Log (AmneziaVPN.log)

13:07:54 Disconnect error NEVPNConnectionErrorDomain 12 "The VPN session failed because an internal error occurred."
13:07:54 Disconnect error info "The VPN plugin died unexpectedly."
13:07:55 Trying to connect to VPN, container is amnezia-xray
13:07:56 Vpn::Connected
13:07:56 Vpn::Disconnecting
13:07:57 Vpn::Disconnected

Smartphone

Device: iPhone
OS: iOS 26.6.1
Version: AmneziaVPN 5.0.1.5

Server

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Xray: v26.6.27, 0 restarts during disconnect (server healthy)

Additional context

Same server works flawlessly via Karing and Happ.
AmneziaWG to same server is stable — issue is specific to the Xray/VLESS path.
Related: #3042, #2791, #2933 (client-side Xray stability bugs).
