"""Local-web attack surface: session, CSRF, Origin/Host checks, default headers.
The app binds to 127.0.0.1, so the attacker is not a remote client but another page
in the user's browser (concept §15, "Local web attack"): any site can issue requests
to ``http://127.0.0.1:8000`` and can embed ``<img src=...>`` against media endpoints.
The defenses stack, because each one alone has a hole:
* **Host** must be a loopback name — a DNS rebinding host that resolves to 127.0.0.1
passes the browser's origin rules but not this check.
* **Origin**, when the browser sends one, must be this exact origin (scheme, host,
port). There is no CORS middleware at all, so a foreign page can never *read* a
response even if it manages to send a request.
* **Sec-Fetch-Site** rejects cross-site loads that carry no Origin, which is what an
``<img>`` or ``<script>`` against a media endpoint looks like.
* A **session cookie** (``SameSite=Strict``, ``HttpOnly``) is required by every
``/api/v1`` route except liveness/readiness and the bootstrap itself. Strict means
the browser never attaches it to a request another site initiated.
* A **CSRF token** must be echoed in a header on every mutation. It is handed out
only in the bootstrap response body, which a foreign page cannot read (no CORS) —
so possessing it proves the caller is same-origin.
``evaluate`` is a pure function over the request metadata: the whole policy is one
table that a unit test can enumerate, and the middleware only applies its verdict.
