Trey t 7690f07a2b Harden API security: input validation, safe auth extraction, new tests, and deploy config
Comprehensive security hardening from audit findings:
- Add validation tags to all DTO request structs (max lengths, ranges, enums)
- Replace unsafe type assertions with MustGetAuthUser helper across all handlers
- Remove query-param token auth from admin middleware (prevents URL token leakage)
- Add request validation calls in handlers that were missing c.Validate()
- Remove goroutines in handlers (timezone update now synchronous)
- Add sanitize middleware and path traversal protection (path_utils)
- Stop resetting admin passwords on migration restart
- Warn on well-known default SECRET_KEY
- Add ~30 new test files covering security regressions, auth safety, repos, and services
- Add deploy/ config, audit digests, and AUDIT_FINDINGS documentation

Shit Deploy Can't Do

This is everything ./.deploy_prod cannot safely automate for you.

1. Create Infrastructure

Step: Create Hetzner servers, networking, and load balancer.

Reason: The script only deploys app workloads. It cannot create paid cloud resources without cloud API credentials and IaC wiring.

2. Join Nodes To Swarm

Step: Run docker swarm init on the first manager and docker swarm join on other nodes.

Reason: Joining nodes requires one-time bootstrap tokens and host-level control.

3. Configure Firewall And Origin Restrictions

Step: Set firewall rules so only expected ingress paths can reach your nodes.

Reason: Firewall policies live in provider networking controls, outside this repo.

4. Configure DNS / Cloudflare

Step: Point DNS at LB, enable proxying, set SSL mode, and lock down origin access.

Reason: DNS and CDN settings are account-level operations in Cloudflare, not deploy-time app actions.

5. Configure External Services

Step: Create and configure Neon, B2, email provider, APNS, and FCM credentials.

Reason: These credentials are issued in vendor dashboards and must be manually generated/rotated.

6. Seed SSH Trust

Step: Ensure your local machine can SSH to the manager with the key in deploy/cluster.env.

Reason: The script assumes SSH already works; it cannot grant itself SSH access.

7. First-Time Smoke Testing Beyond /api/health/

Step: Manually test login, push, background jobs, and admin panel flows after first deploy.

Reason: Automated health checks prove container readiness, not end-to-end business behavior.

8. Safe Secret Garbage Collection

Step: Periodically remove old versioned Docker secrets that are no longer referenced.

Reason: This deploy script creates versioned secrets for safe rollouts and does not auto-delete old ones to avoid breaking running services.
