client_ip() read the first element of X-Forwarded-For, which is correct only if
the proxy replaces the header. Caddy appends the peer address to whatever the
client sent, so element 0 was whatever the caller claimed: rotating a fake value
per request minted a fresh identity every time and walked straight through the
login and registration throttles (B-33) and the SSE per-IP subscriber cap
(B-38). Only the per-username login bucket, which doesn't key on the IP, still
bit.
Both halves of the audit's fix, since they hold independently:
- the Caddyfile overwrites the header with `header_up X-Forwarded-For
{remote_host}`, so what reaches the app is the actual peer and nothing else.
This is the one that makes the app's assumption true at the source.
- client_ip() reads the *last* hop rather than the first — the element written
by the hop closest to us, i.e. by our own proxy. Exactly one trusted proxy
sits in front of the app (`app` is only `expose`d on the compose network,
never published to the host), so that element is the real peer.
An empty or comma-only header now falls back to request.client.host instead of
returning "", which was its own shared-bucket evasion.
Regression tests both sides: two requests spoofing different prefixes must key
to the same IP, and the Caddyfile must keep the header_up directive (checked by
`caddy validate`).

Caddy adds none of these on its own. Add HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options,
X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy and a CSP scoped to default-src
'self' plus the one external asset (Google Fonts). script-src/style-src
need 'unsafe-inline' because both SPAs rely on inline onclick handlers
and style="" attributes throughout — removing those is a separate,
larger refactor.
Validated with `caddy validate` and a live container curl check.
Adds a static regression test asserting the header directives stay
present in the Caddyfile, since nothing else in the Python suite
exercises it.

Frontend dashboards previously found out about state changes only on their
next poll tick (up to 15s, or 3s during a draw) — this adds a push channel
so updates land as soon as they happen instead.
- app/rounds/events.py: a small in-process pub/sub (RoundEventBroadcaster).
The message carries no payload — it's just a "something changed, go
refetch" signal, so it needs no auth and no knowledge of who's allowed to
see what; personalization stays entirely in the existing REST endpoints.
- GET /rounds/stream: an SSE endpoint exposing that channel, with keep-alive
comments so it survives idle periods behind a reverse proxy, and a
defensive MAX_SUBSCRIBERS cap (well above the ~100 concurrent users
expected) — past it, the endpoint returns 503 instead of opening a stream,
and callers just keep working off polling.
- publish() calls added at every point that actually changes what a
dashboard would want to know: new round opened, round status transitions
(closing/drawing/paying_out/closed), a bet or withdrawal broadcast, any
pending tx confirming (bet/withdrawal/payout), a deposit credited, and a
new block tip arriving (the exact moment the "drawing" phase is waiting on).
- Caddyfile: excludes /rounds/stream from gzip encoding, since compression
would buffer output and defeat the point of a live stream.
Single-process only by design for now (no cross-worker fan-out) and the
notification is a generic broadcast rather than a per-user channel — both
are deliberate scope decisions for the current ~100-user, single-container
deployment, not oversights. Polling is left fully in place as a fallback;
this is purely additive.

Caddy's site address comes from SITE_ADDRESS (defaults to "localhost").
Left at that default, Caddy detects it isn't a public hostname and
issues a self-signed cert from its own internal CA — no domain needed
for local/dev testing. Set to a real domain, it gets a genuine Let's
Encrypt certificate automatically instead.
DB, encrypted master key and logs are bind-mounted from ./data/ on the
host (not opaque Docker-managed volumes), so they survive container
restarts/rebuilds and stay reachable for manual inspection/backup
directly from the repo root. ./data/ is gitignored.
