Rewrites the `MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY` entry in the v1.4.27 Infrastructure section to describe the optional-secret behaviour: build no longer blocks on a missing key; runtime detects the `.empty` marker, falls back to `ipwho.is`, and emits a one-shot admin notification; the `/api/version` endpoint exposes `offlineGeoEnabled` and the admin status page renders a green / yellow chip. Adds a matching paragraph to the `Operating the offline databases` section of `docs/audit/v1427-summary.md` so the audit trail captures the three-layer design alongside the existing operator runbook.

v1.4.27 release summary
Overview
v1.4.27 polishes the settings shell rhythm and lands the offline-first
geolocation pipeline that drives the /admin/login-overview table.
Two MaxMind GeoLite2 databases (GeoLite2-City + GeoLite2-ASN) are
now bundled into the runtime image; the resolver in
src/lib/geo.ts reads them with mmdb-lib and falls back to the
existing ipwho.is HTTPS path only when the local DB cannot resolve
the address.
GeoLite2 attribution
This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from
https://www.maxmind.com. The GeoLite2 databases (GeoLite2-City
and GeoLite2-ASN) are distributed under the
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
The same attribution renders on the /about page so an end user can
discover it without inspecting the repository.
Operating the offline databases
The MMDB files are too large to vendor in git. They are downloaded
outside the Docker build by scripts/fetch-geolite2.sh. The operator
runs the script before docker build with a free MaxMind license
key:
MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY=xxxx ./scripts/fetch-geolite2.sh
The script writes GeoLite2-City.mmdb and GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb to
assets/geolite2/. The Dockerfile then copies the folder into
/opt/geolite2/ so the runtime resolver finds the databases on disk.
If the script is skipped the image builds cleanly, and the resolver
falls back to the online ipwho.is provider — the v1.4.26 behaviour.
The offline tier is optional as of v1.4.27 R5. When
MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY is unset the Fetch GeoLite2 databases step in
.github/workflows/docker-publish.yml emits a ::warning::, drops an
.empty marker into assets/geolite2/, and continues — the build no
longer blocks on a missing secret. The runtime resolver detects the
marker on the first public-IP lookup, sends a one-shot admin
notification with the GitHub Actions secrets URL, and continues to
serve audits from the ipwho.is fallback. /api/version exposes
offlineGeoEnabled: boolean so the admin status page can render the
state at a glance.
MaxMind reissues the databases on the first Tuesday of each month; re-run the script before each release to pick up new ASN allocations and city renames.
Schema delta
AuditLog grows two nullable columns:
asn Int?— the autonomous-system number resolved from theGeoLite2-ASNDB at audit-creation time.carrier String?— the matchingautonomous_system_organizationstring (e.g."Deutsche Telekom AG").
Both columns are additive and IF NOT EXISTS-guarded so the
migration is idempotent on the demo server which may already carry
hand-edited columns from a prior partial run.
Backfill helper
src/lib/jobs/geo-backfill.ts walks rows where location IS NULL
and createdAt > now() - 30 days, capped at 5 000 rows per pass, and
re-resolves them through the offline DB. Useful after a fresh
GeoLite2 DB roll so the historical rows that landed during an
ipwho.is outage finally pick up a city + carrier label.
Image-size budget
The two MMDB files add ~80 MB to the production image. The
tzdata-bearing Alpine runner stage already sits at ~330 MB
compressed; the v1.4.27 image lands well under the 90 MB image-size
delta budget set out in the fix plan.
Convention-compliance exemptions
The release-wide convention forbids the substrings AI, Claude,
agent, marathon, wave, phase, session, subagent, and
Anthropic in user-facing artifacts. Two exemptions remain by
necessity and are recorded here so future audits can stop re-opening
the same finding:
- Vendor-name dropdown options. The Coach provider chooser in
/settings/airenders the literal vendor names so the operator can recognise which third-party service is being configured. The keyssettings.ai.providerOptions.anthropicandsettings.ai.activeProviderOptions.anthropictherefore renderAnthropic (Claude)across all six locale bundles. Rebranding these would break the recognition the dropdown exists to provide. The exemption applies to any vendor label whose product is the setting being chosen, e.g.OpenAI,Anthropic,Codex. - GitHub repository URL on
/about. The source-link on the public about page rendershttps://github.com/MBombeck/HealthLog. The username segment is an irreducible technical identifier for the URL and cannot be hidden without breaking the link. The directive's spirit — never surface the maintainer's full name in prose — is honoured: the/aboutpage never spells "Marc" or "Bombeck" in body copy, only inside the URL.
