CORS middleware at all, so no other origin can read a response.
### Reaching it through a hostname or proxy (US08-01)
| variable | meaning |
|---|---|
| `PHOTO_PIPELINE_ALLOWED_HOSTS` | comma-separated extra names the app answers to; empty means loopback only |
| `PHOTO_PIPELINE_ACCESS_SECRET` | traded for the session cookie at `GET /api/v1/session` via `X-Access-Secret` |
| `PHOTO_PIPELINE_TRUSTED_PROXIES` | comma-separated peer addresses whose `X-Forwarded-Proto`/`X-Forwarded-Host` are believed |
Being reachable *was* the authentication: whoever could open `127.0.0.1:8000` owned
the library. So naming any non-loopback host — or binding to one, `0.0.0.0` included
— makes the access secret mandatory, and `serve` refuses to start without it rather
than publishing the library. Loopback-only deployments need no secret and behave
exactly as before.
```bash
curl -sc /tmp/pp.jar -H "X-Access-Secret: $PHOTO_PIPELINE_ACCESS_SECRET" \
https://photos.example.com/api/v1/session
```
The browser asks for the secret once per tab and keeps it in `sessionStorage`.
Wrong secrets are rate-limited (5 per minute) and logged with the caller's address
only. `Host` and `Origin` are judged against the configured names; the *external*
scheme and host come from the forwarded headers only when the request arrived from a
`PHOTO_PIPELINE_TRUSTED_PROXIES` address, so a client cannot declare its own origin,
and the session cookie is marked `Secure` when that external scheme is HTTPS. Health
endpoints stay reachable without the secret so an orchestrator can restart the
container; nothing else does.
## Testing
One offline command runs the whole suite (unit, integration, and browser

Behind a reverse proxy (US08-01) the same stack holds with two substitutions: the
allowed host set comes from configuration instead of being the loopback names, and
the host/scheme the policy judges is the *external* one, which is only read from
``X-Forwarded-*`` when the request actually arrived from a configured proxy. The
loopback check was standing in for authentication, so naming a non-loopback host
also makes an access secret mandatory — ``trust_refusal`` refuses to start without
one, and the secret is what the bootstrap endpoint trades for the session cookie.
