Marc-André Bombeck 4f6d2ccbeb docs: drop per-release audit notes + legacy spec, scrub phase markers
- /docs/audit/ moved out of the public docs surface (23 per-release
  forensic notes). They were linked from the README but read as
  internal traceability artefacts, not user-facing documentation.
  Kept local for cross-release lookup; added to .gitignore so new
  ones don't re-track.
- /docs/api/openapi-v1422-legacy.yaml removed — superseded by the
  current openapi.yaml on the v1.5 line.
- /docs/api/openapi.yaml info.version bumped 1.4.23 → 1.5.0 so the
  spec matches package.json (the doc claims the version is mirrored
  from the package; previously the mirror had drifted six versions).
- /docs/ops/deploy.md: image name corrected from
  `ghcr.io/marc-bombeck/healthlog` → `ghcr.io/mbombeck/healthlog`
  (the previous command would have 404'd at GHCR); release-process
  framing dropped from a release-pair note.
- /docs/ops/backup-restore.md + /docs/self-hosting/scaling.md:
  trailing phase tags (`v1.4 G1`, `v1.4 G3`, `v1.4.40 W-POOL`)
  stripped from section headers + body. Replaced an internal-notes
  pointer with a concrete `getPoolMax()` reference.

The README pointer to /docs/audit/ is removed in the next commit
along with the rest of the README accuracy pass.

# Off-host backup & restore
HealthLog ships with an optional daily off-host backup that ships every
user's JSON dump, encrypted with AES-256-GCM under a SEPARATE key
(`BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY`), to any S3-compatible bucket — Cloudflare R2,
AWS S3, Backblaze B2, MinIO, etc.
The backup runs at **02:30 Europe/Berlin** every day from the worker
container (queue `data-backup-offhost`). Object key layout:
```
<bucket>/YYYY-MM-DD/user-<userId>.json.enc
```
## Wire format (binary)
```
magic = "HLBK" (4 bytes, ASCII)
version = 0x01 (1 byte)
iv = 12 random bytes (AES-GCM nonce)
authTag = 16 bytes (AES-GCM tag)
ciphertext = N bytes (AES-256-GCM, key = BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY)
plaintext = JSON dump (UTF-8)
```
## Required env vars
| Var | Required | Notes |
| ----------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY` | yes | 64 hex chars or 32-byte base64. **Different from `ENCRYPTION_KEY`.** |
| `BACKUP_S3_ENDPOINT` | yes | e.g. `https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com` |
| `BACKUP_S3_BUCKET` | yes | |
| `BACKUP_S3_ACCESS_KEY` | yes | |
| `BACKUP_S3_SECRET_KEY` | yes | |
| `BACKUP_S3_REGION` | no | defaults to `auto` (Cloudflare R2) |
| `BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS` | no | defaults to `30` |
## Bucket lifecycle (recommended)
The worker prunes objects older than `BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS`, but the
storage provider's lifecycle rule is the canonical safety net:
```
Filter: "" (all objects)
Action: Expire after 30 days
```
For Cloudflare R2 add this from the bucket's **Settings → Lifecycle**.
## Smoke test
After deploying, hit `POST /api/admin/backup/test` (admin-only). It
performs a 1-byte PUT + GET round-trip and returns:
```json
{
"endpoint": "https://...r2.cloudflarestorage.com",
"bucket": "healthlog-backups",
"region": "auto",
"putLatencyMs": 142,
"getLatencyMs": 38,
"ok": true
}
```
The credentials are never returned.
## Restore
Pick a key (e.g. `2026-05-08/user-clx123.json.enc`) from the bucket
and run:
```bash
BACKUP_S3_ENDPOINT=https://...r2.cloudflarestorage.com \
BACKUP_S3_BUCKET=healthlog-backups \
BACKUP_S3_ACCESS_KEY=... \
BACKUP_S3_SECRET_KEY=... \
BACKUP_S3_REGION=auto \
BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
pnpm tsx scripts/restore-backup.ts \
2026-05-08/user-clx123.json.enc \
/tmp/restored.json
```
The script downloads the object, decrypts it, and writes the JSON dump
to disk. Importing the JSON back into a HealthLog instance is left to
the operator (use `prisma db seed` or a custom script).
