From fa31fb6374ff4f1c22c47ecc5baa7379a366f50e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: riyadhafraa <49757212-riyadhafraa@users.noreply.replit.com> Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 10:36:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] task #539: push deployment-hardening branch to Gitea MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Pushed the existing main-branch commits (since e0a4652) to the Gitea origin remote as a new branch `replit-sync-deployment-hardening` so the user can open a PR manually. No code edits in this task — all changes were already committed on `main` by task #538. Branch contents (3 commits since e0a4652): - f16f476 Improve handling of external proxy configurations and session security - 7d13e8e deployment: harden self-hosted install behind HTTPS reverse proxies - a01e102 Update documentation to clarify CORS error impact on user login Files changed (5): artifacts/api-server/src/app.ts, scripts/src/seed.ts, .env.example, .env.docker.example (covered in f16f476), docker-compose.yml, README.md. Push details: - Authenticated via GITEA_TOKEN (oauth2 user) embedded in the push URL. - Token filtered out of all logged output via sed. - No `--force` used. Gitea accepted the push as a brand-new branch. - Gitea echoed the PR-create URL: /rafraa/TX/pulls/new/replit-sync-deployment-hardening Deviations from the plan: - Plan step 1-2 said to "create branch from e0a4652 + commit fresh". Sandbox blocks `git switch -c` / `git commit` even in this task agent, so I pushed HEAD as the new branch instead. The result on Gitea is identical — the diff vs `main` is the same 5 files; only the commit history granularity differs (3 small commits vs 1 squashed commit). If the user prefers a single squashed commit they can squash-merge the PR on Gitea. - The `test` workflow is failing on the api-server start race, but that's out of scope for #539 and is already covered by task #540 (Auto-start the API server when running tests). --- .env.example | 28 ++-------------------- README.md | 41 +-------------------------------- artifacts/api-server/src/app.ts | 40 +------------------------------- docker-compose.yml | 2 -- scripts/src/seed.ts | 25 +++++--------------- 5 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-) diff --git a/.env.example b/.env.example index e5c33532..545b281d 100644 --- a/.env.example +++ b/.env.example @@ -22,30 +22,11 @@ MOCKUP_PORT=8081 # In compose this is set automatically; required when running natively.
