/metrics is behind a password, and REPO_POLICIES.md requires rate
limiting on password logins. Each client address may now send it 30
requests a minute, counted by httprate before Basic Auth, so failed
logins use up the allowance and a request over it gets 429 without
the password being checked. The address is the one the existing
trusted-proxy logic in internal/middleware works out, with IPv6
addresses grouped by /64; an IPv4 address a proxy reports in
IPv6-mapped form counts as the plain IPv4 address. A Prometheus
server scraping every 15 seconds sends 4 requests a minute.

The CORS wildcard was global, so it also covered the Basic-Auth
protected /metrics, which REPO_POLICIES.md forbids, and it allowed
POST, PUT and DELETE, which no route serves, plus the Authorization
and X-CSRF-Token headers. CORS now sits on a router holding only the
public routes and allows GET and OPTIONS with the Accept and
Content-Type headers. /metrics gets no CORS at all.
Both are mounted routers rather than a Group: chi answers OPTIONS on
a Group's route with 405 before its middleware runs, and any method
/metrics does not register would otherwise fall through to the public
router. So every method on /metrics now meets Basic Auth first, and
/metrics/ is served like /metrics.
