The @honeypot block both deleted and set X-Scrabble-Honeypot in one reverse_proxy.
Caddy applies header_up deletions *after* sets, so the tag we set was immediately
stripped: the gateway never saw it, and a decoy hit (e.g. GET /.env) fell through
to the gateway's /app redirect (308) instead of tripping the honeypot. Drop the
delete — the bare set already replaces any client-supplied value. The real
endpoints keep stripping the header in the @gateway block (delete-only, no
conflicting set). Caught on the live test contour (no caddy locally).
Add a prod-only, in-memory IP ban enforced at the edge, fed by three signals:
sustained rate-limiter rejections (the IP-keyed public/email/admin classes — the
user class stays the backend soft-flag's concern), a honeypot decoy-path hit (the
contour caddy tags decoys with X-Scrabble-Honeypot and routes them to the gateway),
and a honeytoken (a planted bearer, GATEWAY_HONEYTOKEN). A banned IP is refused with
429 by the abuseGuard middleware before any work — covering the Connect edge, the
live stream and the static SPA/landing the per-op limiter never gated.
The ban is off by default: it keys by the real client IP the shared-NAT test contour
does not expose, so a ban there would be self-inflicted; detection still logs in the
contour, only the ban action is gated (GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_ENABLED). Rejection bans last
GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_DURATION; tripwire/honeytoken hits are near-zero-false-positive and
earn longer fixed bans. Each ban increments gateway_abuse_banned_total{reason}.
Operators see and lift active bans on the admin console's Throttled page; the gateway
syncs its active set to the backend every 30s (POST /api/v1/internal/bans/sync,
backend/internal/banview) and applies the operator unbans the response returns.
PRERELEASE phase AG. Docs baked into ARCHITECTURE / FUNCTIONAL (+ru) / both READMEs.
- gateway/Dockerfile gains a `landing` target: caddy:2-alpine + the shared
Vite build (identical build args keep the ui stage a single cached build);
the gateway target drops landing.html from the embed.
- The contour caddy routes /app/, /telegram/ and the Connect path to the
gateway; the catch-all — the landing at / and any stray path — goes to the
new landing service, so junk traffic is absorbed by static file serving.
- deploy/landing/Caddyfile mirrors the webui caching (immutable assets,
no-cache shells) and falls back unknown paths to the landing shell.
- The gateway's / now 308-redirects to /app/ (keeps a local no-caddy run
usable); webui placeholder landing.html removed.
- CI deploy probe checks both / (landing) and /app/ (gateway).
Verified: both images build; the landing container serves landing.html at /
(no-cache) with junk-path fallback; the gateway image redirects / to /app/
and carries no landing content.
- Client IP: the compose caddy trusts X-Forwarded-For from private-range
upstreams (trusted_proxies private_ranges), so the real client IP survives
the host-caddy hop (it was logging the docker caddy hop 172.18.0.x for chat
moderation and bucketing the gateway per-IP rate limiter on it). Correct and
spoof-safe in both contours (prod has no host caddy); peerIP unit-tested.
- Ad banner gated off behind a compile-time SHOW_AD_BANNER=false (the if-branch,
the AdBanner import and banner.ts are tree-shaken out of the prod bundle).
- Landing: the Telegram entry is just the 64px logo (clickable, no button/text).
- TG-fullscreen header: title + menu centred as a pair (hamburger right of the
title), pinned to the bottom of the TG nav band.
- Edge-swipe back (Screen): a left-edge rightward drag navigates to back
(touch/pen only, armed from <=24px; skipped inside Telegram).
- Chat soft-keyboard: a bottom-sheet Modal lifted above the keyboard by a
visualViewport-driven transform (compositor-only, no page/sheet relayout).
iOS-specific, needs on-device tuning; native resize=none awaits Capacitor.
- Tests: e2e for the in-game '✓ in friends' item and a board→board tile
relocation; codec units for last_activity_unix + OutgoingRequestList.
Deferred to the next PR (agreed): #4 enrich the your-turn/game-end push; #5 hide
finished games from the lobby.
- PLAN.md: new Stage 17 "Test-contour verification & defect fixes" (exercise the
deployed contour end-to-end and fix what it surfaces — connector liveness check,
path-conditional CI); the former prod-deploy stage becomes Stage 18.
- Renumber every "Stage 17" prod-deploy reference to "Stage 18" across docs,
compose, Caddyfile, ci.yaml and CLAUDE.md; the post-Stage-14 split range is now
"Stages 15–18".
- backend + gateway multi-stage distroless Dockerfiles; the gateway embeds and
serves the SPA at / and /telegram/ via go:embed (committed dist placeholder,
real build baked in by the image's node stage)
- deploy/docker-compose.yml: backend + gateway + Postgres + Telegram connector
(VPN sidecar) + OTel Collector + Prometheus (15d) + Tempo (72h) + Grafana,
fronted by a caddy owning a single /_gm Basic-Auth (admin console + Grafana
subpath); inter-service on a private network, only caddy on the edge network
- new metrics: backend accounts_created_total{kind} (robots excluded) and an
in-memory gateway active_users{window=24h,7d} gauge
- CI: single .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml (unit/integration/ui + a gated test-contour
deploy) on the new feature/* -> development -> master branch model; the old
go-unit/integration/ui-test workflows are folded in; the connector-scoped
compose is retired (superseded by deploy/)
- docs: ARCHITECTURE §11/§12/§13, root + gateway READMEs, CLAUDE.md branching,
PLAN.md (stage 16 done + refinements + Stage 17 forward-notes)
