Subject: [PATCH 01/19] fix(documents): read and render PDFs in a bounded child
 process

pdf.js decodes an image at the size the file declares, whatever size the
page is drawn at, and the server opened documents without an image limit.
A small upload declaring a very large image made the web process allocate
gigabytes until the container was killed, for every user at once, and the
thumbnail job ran the same document again after each restart. An image
whose soft mask declares the size does the same past pdf.js' own limit, and
nothing bounded how long a text read could take.

pdf.js is now opened with maxImageSize (20 million pixels, which keeps one
image inside the reader's ceiling and admits a 300 dpi A3 scan), and every
read and render runs in a child process, one at a time: its V8 heap is
capped, its resident memory is sampled and the child killed past 640 MB, on
Linux it volunteers to the out-of-memory killer first, a time limit ends a
read that runs on, and it starts with an almost empty environment. The
loader and the rendering moved into pdf-engine.mjs, which the child runs
with plain Node and which is traced into the standalone image.

A document that crosses a bound answers resource-limit. The thumbnail job
records it as a final failure, so the backfill does not queue it again.

+ * Runs pdf.js in a child process with a memory ceiling and a time limit.
+ *
+ * A PDF's cost is set by whoever wrote it. A 400 KB file can declare an image
+ * of twenty thousand pixels square, and pdf.js allocated about 7 GB decoding
+ * it; a content stream can keep the parser busy for minutes. Inside the
+ * server either one took the web process, every user's requests and the
+ * background jobs down with it, and the job queue then retried the same
+ * document after the restart. pdf.js' own `maxImageSize` stops the first
+ * shape (see `./pdf-engine.mjs`), but an image mask, a font program or a
+ * shading can still allocate in proportion to what the file declares. So the
+ * reading itself happens in `./pdf-child.mjs`, one process per document:
+ *
+ *   - the child's V8 heap is capped with `--max-old-space-size`;
+ *   - its resident memory, which also counts the image buffers outside the
+ *     heap, is sampled from here and the child is killed past the ceiling;
+ *   - on Linux the child marks itself as the first thing the kernel's
+ *     out-of-memory killer takes, for an allocation faster than the sampling;
+ *   - it is killed when the time limit runs out;
+ *   - it starts with an almost empty environment, so it holds no key, token
+ *     or database address;
+ *   - one runs at a time (`MAX_PARALLEL_CHILDREN`), so a burst of uploads
+ *     cannot multiply the ceiling.
+ *
+ * A document that crosses a bound fails with `limit` and is not something a
+ * retry will fix; callers record it as a final failure.
+ *
+ * This module logs nothing and imports nothing from the app, so the
+ * end-to-end suite can read report text through `./pdfjs.ts` as well.

 /**
- * The one pdf.js this server runs, the one way it is opened, and the one way
- * its text layer is read.
- *
- * Under Node, pdf.js does not start a worker thread: it loads its worker code
- * into the same process and keeps it on `globalThis.pdfjsWorker`. Whichever
- * copy of pdf.js opens a document first owns that global until the process
- * exits, and any other copy then refuses every document with "The API version
- * … does not match the Worker version …". The server used to load two copies,
- * one for the local text read and one for rasterizing, so whichever ran first
- * broke the other until a restart (#1277). Both paths now open documents
- * here, through the app's own `pdfjs-dist`, with the same options;
- * `src/__tests__/single-pdfjs-guard.test.ts` keeps a second copy out.
- *
- * pdf.js is loaded lazily with a runtime `import()`: its module top level
- * reads the browser-only `DOMMatrix` global, so a static import would make the
- * server chunk evaluate it at instantiation and throw `DOMMatrix is not
- * defined`, taking down every route and worker sharing the chunk. The import
- * resolves once and is module-cached after that. The type imports below are
- * erased at build, so they load nothing; they let the compiler check every
- * call here against pdf.js' own API.
+ * Reading a PDF's text layer, the way the server does it: in a child process
+ * under a memory ceiling and a time limit (`./pdf-isolation.ts`), through the
+ * one pdf.js loader (`./pdf-engine.mjs`). Rendering goes the same way from
+ * `./rasterize-pdf.ts`.
  *
  * This module has no logging of its own, so the end-to-end suite can read
  * report text with it; the callers say what failed.

Subject: [PATCH 02/19] fix(documents): read a JPEG's size past fill bytes and
 refuse an unreadable one

The thumbnail's header walk took the byte after any 0xFF as a marker. A
single 0xFF fill byte after the start-of-image marker, which the JPEG
standard allows and every decoder skips, threw it off; it read no size, and
an unread size let the image through to a decode that allocates the full
bitmap. A small JPEG declaring 20000 x 20000 pixels allocated 1.6 GB in the
web process before the post-decode check could see it.

The avatar upload already had a walker that skips fill bytes. Both now use
one reader (lib/image-dimensions) that follows the marker rules: fill bytes,
the length-less markers, and no size when a scan or the end of the image
comes before a frame header. The thumbnail treats an unreadable size as a
refusal (size-unreadable) for every format it decodes, and the backfill
counts that refusal as final.

Subject: [PATCH 03/19] fix(http): read forwarding headers only from a
 connection a proxy could make

The client-IP resolver trusted one forwarding hop by default and read the
rightmost X-Forwarded-For entry. Next fills that header with the socket's
address only when the request carries none, so a caller reaching the
published port directly could send its own and choose a fresh address per
request: every per-IP limit (sign-in, second factor, passkey, share unlock,
webhooks) became per-request, and sessions, the audit log and sign-in
notices recorded the chosen address.

The server now writes each connection's own peer address into an internal
header from Node's http.server.request.start diagnostics channel, installed
at boot and overwriting anything a caller sent under that name. The resolver
reads forwarding headers only when that peer is loopback, private,
unique-local or CGNAT, where a reverse proxy sits; a public peer is its own
client address, and a log line says once that its forwarding headers were
ignored. With TRUST_PROXY_HOPS=0 the peer is used instead of no address, so
a directly exposed host no longer shares one bucket across all anonymous
callers. Proxies on the same host, Docker network or tailnet need no change.

 A misconfigured count logs a one-shot warning to stderr and collapses
 every anonymous caller into one shared rate-limit bucket. Match the
 value to the actual hop count.
 
+Forwarding headers are believed only from a connection that could come
+from a proxy: loopback, a private or unique-local network, or CGNAT (a
+Tailscale address). A request that reaches HealthLog straight from a public
+address carries headers its sender wrote, so HealthLog ignores them and
+uses the connection's own address, and says so once in the log. A proxy on
+the same host or Docker network connects from a private address, so the
+usual setups above need nothing. If your proxy reaches HealthLog over a
+public address, put it on a private network with HealthLog instead (or, for
+Cloudflare straight to the origin, use `TRUST_CF_CONNECTING_IP=1`). The log
+line also shows up when the published port is open to the internet beside
+the proxy; bind it to the proxy's network or to `127.0.0.1` then.
+
 `X-Real-IP` gets the same trust as `X-Forwarded-For`. It is read only
 when `TRUST_PROXY_HOPS` is exactly `1` and the request carries no
 `X-Forwarded-For`, which covers a single proxy that sets only
 `X-Real-IP`. With `0` neither header is believed, because without a proxy
-in front both come from the caller. With `2` or more, the hop count
+in front both come from the caller; the address the connection came from
+is used instead. With `2` or more, the hop count
 describes an `X-Forwarded-For` chain, so have your proxies send one.

Subject: [PATCH 04/19] fix(auth): stop exempting a previously used address
 from the sign-in throttle

The per-account password throttle skipped every attempt that came from an
address one of the account's sessions or device logins had used in the last
thirty days. An address is the easiest thing about a request to share or
claim: in a household or an office the guesser has the owner's address, and
a direct caller could name it in a forwarding header. Either way the
throttle switched off and guessing was bounded only by the hash cost.

A remembered browser (the trusted-device cookie) and a phone presenting the
device id of one of the account's logins still pass; everything else gets
the growing wait.

Subject: [PATCH 05/19] fix(ai): keep lab values out of every model prompt
 while Labs is off

The Coach snapshot attached its labs block regardless of the module, a
decision from before Labs could be switched off, while the snapshot's own
prelude says a disabled domain never reaches the model. With Labs off, the
Coach prompt, its get_labs tool, the daily briefing's flagged-marker block,
the biomarker status note, the reaction line to a new panel and the MCP
lab_trend_brief prompt all still read lab values for a model.

Each of those reads now asks the labs module first and reads nothing when it
is off: the Coach tool answers module_disabled, the briefing omits the
block, the status note neither writes nor serves text, the reaction line
gets no value, and the MCP prompt refuses like get_labs and the doctor-visit
prompt already did. The data routes stay as they are. A structural guard
holds every lab-table reader under the model-input paths to the gate or to
a listed reason its rows never reach a model.

+ * decision from before Labs could be switched off. Once it could, the Coach
+ * prompt, its `get_labs` tool, the daily briefing, the biomarker status note,
+ * the reaction line to a new panel and the MCP lab-trend prompt all kept

+ * `prisma.labResult` query, and nothing tied them to the switch.
+ *
+ * ## What it proves and what it does not
+ *
+ * Every module under the paths that build model input (`src/lib/ai`,
+ * `src/lib/insights`, `src/lib/jobs`, `src/lib/mcp`) that reads the lab
+ * table either asks the labs module itself (`isModuleEnabled(…, "labs")`,
+ * the `correlation:LAB_DRAWS` surface, or the MCP `whenModuleOn` wrapper) or
+ * is listed below with the reason its read cannot reach a prompt. A new
+ * reader fails here until it does one or the other. The data routes are not
+ * in scope: a module decides what a model is given, not what the owner can
+ * read (`CLAUDE.md`, "An AI capability gates model work").
+ *
+ * It is grep-shaped: it sees a read, not where the rows go, and a reader in
+ * another directory is outside it. The behaviour is pinned per path by the
+ * module-off cases in the suites of the readers themselves.

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] fix(http): refuse state changes a browser sends from
 another site

The session cookie is SameSite=Lax, and SameSite compares the registrable
domain, so a page on a sibling subdomain of the instance could send a
CORS-simple POST with the person's cookie attached. safeJson accepted any
Content-Type containing "application/json", so a text/plain body that
mentions it in a parameter, which needs no preflight, was parsed as the
person's own request: readings added, entries deleted, integrations
disconnected, a delegate invited within the re-proof window.

apiHandler now refuses a POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE before authentication
when the browser marks it Sec-Fetch-Site same-site or cross-site, or, from
a browser that sends no fetch metadata, when its Origin names a host other
than the one the request went to or APP_URL. A request with an
Authorization header, or with neither header (the phone app, scripts,
webhook senders), is unaffected, as are the webhook and URL-credential
routes that authenticate with their own secret. The JSON media type is
compared exactly, with parameters allowed, in safeJson and in every route
that branched on a substring of it.

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] fix(mcp): name the host an authorization goes to on the
 consent page

Dynamic client registration is open by specification and the client names
itself, so anyone could register under a well-known assistant's name with a
callback on a host of their own and send a signed-in person the authorize
link. The consent page showed the borrowed name and "Unverified
application", never where the code would be sent.

Every consent page now says where the access goes: the callback's host, or
an application on this device for a loopback callback, and the Allow button
names the host. For a self-registered client whose callback leaves the
device, a warning that names the host leads the page, above the
self-reported name. Registration stays open: the hosted assistants register
this way with their own https callback.

Subject: [PATCH 08/19] fix(share): stop serving shared documents once the
 documents module is off

A share link gated its report on the doctorReport module but listed and
served its attached documents unconditionally, although the comment beside
the gate said the documents kept a gate of their own. An owner who switched
the documents module off still had every attached file decrypted for anyone
holding the link and its passphrase.

The share page lists no document while the module is off, and the document
route answers 404, the same as for an unknown document, before it looks the
membership up.

Subject: [PATCH 09/19] fix(ingest): answer a scoped token the same for unknown
 and out-of-scope names

A token scoped to one medication got 404 for a name that matched none of
the owner's medications and 403 for one that matched outside its scope, so
it could confirm which medications exist by name. Its idempotency replay
also ran before the scope check and returned any of the owner's doses
stored under the key.

A token without the wildcard now gets the same 403 for both, the replay is
looked up only after the scope check, and a key already spent on another
medication answers 409 without that dose. The wildcard token keeps its 404.

Subject: [PATCH 10/19] fix(mcp): fence medication and lab names in tool
 results

The MCP server instructions promise that the person's free text comes back
wrapped in USER_TEXT markers, but get_medication_schedule returned
medication names and doses as plain strings, and get_labs returned analyte,
panel and unit names that can come straight out of an uploaded document.
Text written to read like an instruction reached the connecting client's
model unmarked. The marker scrub also removed only the exact uppercase
spelling, so a lower-case or spaced marker survived inside fenced text.

Both tools now fence those fields, and the scrub removes a marker in any
case and with any spacing inside the brackets.

Subject: [PATCH 11/19] fix(proxy): keep API paths ending in a file extension
 behind the proxy

The proxy matcher left out every path ending in an image or text extension
so static files skip it. The exclusion was not anchored, so an API path
whose last segment the caller chooses (a custom tag name ending in .png)
skipped the proxy too, and with it the demo-mode write refusal, the
worker-only refusal and the security headers. Authentication was unaffected.

The extension exclusion now applies outside /api/ only.

Subject: [PATCH 12/19] fix(notifications): limit quick answers per account,
 junk in a bucket of its own

The quick-answer route charged one per-address bucket before it read the
token. Where the client address cannot be read, every caller shares that
bucket, so two junk requests a minute switched off every person's
notification quick answers.

The token is an HMAC and is now checked first, which costs one hash and no
database read. A genuine token is limited per account; anything else is
limited per address in a separate bucket that genuine answers never draw
from.

Subject: [PATCH 13/19] fix(egress): check every redirect hop and close the
 reserved-range gaps

safeFetch with requirePublicHost vetted the first URL and pinned DNS
answers in the connector, but Node never looks up an IP literal, so a
followed redirect to a literal private or metadata address was dialled
unchecked. No caller follows redirects to a user-chosen host today; the
floor did not hold for the next one that would.

With requirePublicHost, redirects are now followed one hop at a time and
every location goes through isPublicUrl before it is dialled, at most five
hops. isPublicIp also refuses the benchmarking, protocol-assignment,
multicast, reserved and broadcast IPv4 ranges, site-local and multicast
IPv6 and the IPv4-translated spelling of a private address, and isPublicUrl
strips a trailing dot before the hostname denylist.

Subject: [PATCH 14/19] fix(deploy-webhook): accept signed requests and stop
 calling a bare timestamp replay protection

The deploy-status webhook authenticated with a static secret in a header,
and the timestamp the docs called replay protection was covered by nothing:
whoever captures one request holds the secret and can send a fresh request
with any content. The strict setting, documented as closing the replay
window completely, only made that timestamp mandatory.

A sender can now sign instead: X-Deploy-Webhook-Signature is the
HMAC-SHA256 of the timestamp and the exact body under the shared secret,
with the timestamp within five minutes, and the secret never travels. The
strict setting accepts only signed requests. The secret header still works
by default for senders that cannot sign, and the docs describe its
timestamp as the staleness hint it is.

 ## Deploy-status webhook: replay protection
 
-`POST /api/internal/deploy-webhook` authenticates via the static
-`X-Deploy-Webhook-Secret` header. Since v1.16.4 it additionally
-enforces a freshness window: a request carrying an
-`X-Deploy-Webhook-Timestamp` header (unix seconds, unix milliseconds,
-or ISO-8601) is rejected with `401 {"status":"stale"}` when the
-timestamp lies more than **5 minutes** from server time — so a captured
-request cannot be replayed later to re-page admins or forge deploy
-outcomes in the audit log.
+`POST /api/internal/deploy-webhook` accepts two kinds of request.
 
-Two modes:
+- **Secret header.** `X-Deploy-Webhook-Secret` carries the shared secret.
+  This is what Coolify's stock notification sender can do. It does not
+  protect against a replay: anyone who captures one request holds the
+  secret and can send any request they like. An `X-Deploy-Webhook-Timestamp`
+  beside it is still checked (a stale or unparseable one is refused with
+  `401 {"status":"stale"}`), but it is covered by nothing, so treat it as a
+  staleness hint. Versions before 1.46 described it as replay protection.
+- **Signature.** `X-Deploy-Webhook-Signature: sha256=<hex>` is the
+  HMAC-SHA256, under `DEPLOY_WEBHOOK_SECRET`, of the
+  `X-Deploy-Webhook-Timestamp` value, a dot, and the exact request body. The
+  timestamp (unix seconds, unix milliseconds or ISO-8601) must lie within
+  **5 minutes** of server time. A signed request sends no secret, and a

-- **Default (tolerant).** Requests _without_ the header pass — Coolify's
-  stock notification sender does not attach one. A header that is
-  present but stale or unparseable is always rejected.
-- **Strict.** Set `DEPLOY_WEBHOOK_REQUIRE_TIMESTAMP=true` in the app
-  environment to make the header mandatory, closing the replay window
-  completely. Use this when the sender (or a reverse proxy in front of
-  the app) can attach the timestamp, e.g.:
+Set `DEPLOY_WEBHOOK_REQUIRE_TIMESTAMP=true` to accept signed requests only.
+Use it when the sender, or a small relay in front of the app, can sign:
 
-  ```sh
-  curl -X POST https://<host>/api/internal/deploy-webhook \
-    -H "X-Deploy-Webhook-Secret: $SECRET" \
-    -H "X-Deploy-Webhook-Timestamp: $(date +%s)" \
-    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-    -d '{"status":"success"}'
-  ```
+```sh
+TS=$(date +%s)
+BODY='{"status":"success"}'
+SIG=$(printf '%s.%s' "$TS" "$BODY" \
+  | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$SECRET" | sed 's/^.*= //')
+curl -X POST https://<host>/api/internal/deploy-webhook \
+  -H "X-Deploy-Webhook-Timestamp: $TS" \
+  -H "X-Deploy-Webhook-Signature: sha256=$SIG" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "$BODY"
+```
+
+Before 1.46 the strict setting accepted the secret header plus a fresh
+timestamp. Such a sender now gets 401 in strict mode and has to sign.

Subject: [PATCH 15/19] fix(monitoring): sign the GlitchTip relay in and strip
 Prisma call arguments

The browser error relay forwarded anything posted to it into the operator's
GlitchTip without a session, limited only per address, so anyone could
fill the incident list. Separately, a Prisma client error prints the
failed call into its message and stack, with the arguments object (a
reading's value, a note's text) when no source map is at hand, and the
server sent that to GlitchTip and the logs after a credential scrub that
does not look for it.

The relay now needs a signed-in session and is limited per account; errors
on pages before sign-in go unreported. The central redaction cuts a Prisma
call's printed arguments, keeping the call, a reason line that names a
field, and the stack frames, and the GlitchTip sender applies the
redaction to every event at the egress boundary, whichever caller built it.

Subject: [PATCH 16/19] docs(ops): say that the pre-upgrade volume keeps data
 erasure never reaches

The Postgres major-upgrade guide suggested removing the old pgdata volume
"when you are sure". That volume is a full copy of the database as it stood
before the move: account deletions, trash purges and key rotations after it
never reach it. The guide now says so and makes removing it part of the
move.

Subject: [PATCH 17/19] test(ratchet): write back the smaller sizes the fixes
 left

apiHandler's request wrapper fell under the 200-line mark, and the
reminder-check route and the Coach snapshot shrank by a line or two.
