It's been a while since I did the setup transparently here.

But IIRC: The "always_direct allow <localnet>" config item allowed a
transparent proxy to accept regular proxy requests from the machines
defined in <localnet>.

Each client browser still needs to be setup to use it as a specific
proxy for HTTPS though. Which kind of defeats the transparent part
unless you have two classes of users.
