closes #47 Fixes the two remaining `gosec` findings on `main`, both `G124` (http.Cookie missing or has insecure `Secure`, `HttpOnly`, or `SameSite` attribute): - `internal/session/session.go:84` (`CreateSession`, the login set-cookie path) - `internal/session/session.go:128` (`ClearSession`, the logout delete-cookie path) ## What changed - Both cookie-writing paths now unconditionally set `Secure: true`, `HttpOnly: true`, and `SameSite: http.SameSiteStrictMode`. - The `secure` field (previously wired to `!config.Debug`) and the `sameSite` field are removed from `session.Manager`, and the dead secure-toggle parameter is removed from `session.NewManager`, which now takes only the signing key (reviewer-directed; the mechanical call-shape updates in `session_test.go` leave every assertion untouched). - TDD per repo rules: the first commit adds `TestSessionCookieAttributesAlwaysSecure` (failing), asserting that every cookie emitted by the session manager carries `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite` of Lax or stricter, for both write paths. The second commit makes it pass. - `TODO.md` updated per its Workflow section (Next Step completed, next Future Step promoted, stale "10 open findings" Status text corrected). ## Attribute choices and reasoning - `Secure: true` always: the `G124` analyzer only accepts a constant `true` store, and there is no legitimate configuration in which the authentication cookie should be sent over plaintext HTTP. The old behavior disabled `Secure` whenever `debug` was on. Local development over `http://localhost` keeps working: browsers treat `localhost` as a trustworthy origin and accept `Secure` cookies there. Any plain-HTTP flow on a non-localhost host will no longer keep a session, which is the point of the fix. - `SameSite: Strict` (unchanged from current production behavior, and stricter than the Lax minimum): the login form is a same-origin POST to `/` followed by a same-site redirect, so `Strict` breaks nothing. - `HttpOnly: true` (unchanged). ## Verification `make check` (tests, golangci-lint, fmt-check) is fully green on the branch head `cb9e14e`: all tests pass and the linter reports 0 issues, independently confirmed by the reviewer in a fresh worktree. Commit history: `ca15f52` (failing test) → `02ca16a` (fix + TODO.md, closes #47) → `cb9e14e` (drop the dead `NewManager` parameter).
