[Bug]: VLESS-REALITY node converted to Clash fails in v3.8 (worked in v3.3)
Describe the bug
Nodes created in 3x-ui v3.8 fail to connect in Clash (e.g., Clash Verge) after passing through a subscription converter (subconverter). However, nodes created with identical settings in v3.3 work perfectly under the exact same setup and converter. Comparing the raw vless:// links generated by v3.3 and v3.8 reveals no obvious structural differences, but the converted node from v3.8 results in connection timeouts/errors in Clash.
How to reproduce the problem
Steps to Reproduce Create a VLESS + REALITY + Vision (TCP) inbound/client in 3x-ui v3.8. Copy the generated vless:// link (or subscription link). Convert the link to Clash YAML format using a subscription converter. Import into Clash / Clash Verge and test connection -> Fails / Timeout. (Comparison) Do the same in 3x-ui v3.3 -> Works as expected.
Environment & Configuration 3x-ui Version: v3.8 (Fails) vs v3.3 (Works) Protocol: VLESS + REALITY + XTLS-Vision + TCP Client / Tools: Clash / Clash Verge via Subscription Converter
