+
+This repository adheres to the
+[Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
+standard: normalized scripts in `script/` are the entrypoints for the
+development workflow, and the Makefile targets are thin shims that call
+them. We provide:
+
+- `script/bootstrap` — install all dependencies (idempotent)
+- `script/setup` — make a fresh clone ready for development
+  (bootstrap, then install-precommit)
+- `script/projectname` — output the project name ("pixa")
+- `script/test` — run the test suite
+- `script/lint` — run golangci-lint
+- `script/fmt` — format all code (writes)
+- `script/fmt-check` — check formatting (read-only)
+- `script/check` — run test, lint, and fmt-check
+- `script/docker` — build the Docker image tagged via `script/projectname`
+- `script/cibuild` — CI entrypoint: `docker build .` (the Dockerfile
+  runs the checks, so a green build implies a green repo)
+- `script/precommit` — pre-commit checks (`go mod tidy` guard, then
+  `script/check`)
+- `script/install-precommit` — install the git pre-commit hook that
+  runs `script/precommit`

+- Repos follow the
+  [Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
+  pattern: the implementation of each Makefile target lives in an executable
+  script in `script/` (`script/bootstrap`, `script/setup`, `script/test`,
+  `script/lint`, `script/fmt`, `script/fmt-check`, `script/check`,
+  `script/docker`), and the Makefile targets are thin shims that call them. The
+  scripts must be POSIX sh (`#!/bin/sh`, `set -eu`, no bashisms) so they run in
+  minimal containers (e.g. alpine images have no bash); locate the repo root
+  with `$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/.." && pwd -P)` and `cd` there before acting. From
+  the standard's canonical set we use `bootstrap`, `setup` (make the repo ready
+  for development after a fresh clone: runs `bootstrap`, then
+  `install-precommit`, plus any repo-specific initialization), `test`, and
+  `cibuild`. `script/bootstrap` installs all dependencies idempotently and
+  assumes nothing is present: base tools come from nix, apt, brew, or apk
+  (detected in that order; apt runs noninteractive). For node it uses the
+  installed node if present; otherwise it installs a PINNED node version via
+  nvm, first installing nvm itself if missing — from a hash-verified GitHub
+  release archive (never `curl | sh`), with bash installed as an explicit
+  prerequisite since nvm requires bash. yarn is then pinned via
+  `corepack prepare yarn@<version> --activate`. Never install "latest" or "lts";
+  always exact versions. `script/cibuild` runs the CI build: it changes to the
+  repo root and runs `docker build .`; the Gitea workflow calls it. Four further
+  scripts are our own extensions to the standard: `script/check` runs
+  `script/test`, `script/lint`, and `script/fmt-check`; `script/precommit` is
+  what the git pre-commit hook runs, and it calls `script/check`;
+  `script/install-precommit` installs the git pre-commit hook (the `make hooks`
+  target shims to it); and `script/projectname` (literally that filename) simply
+  outputs the project's name. Scripts that need the name call
+  `script/projectname` — e.g. `script/docker` assembles its image tag from it —
+  so those scripts stay byte-identical across all repos. Repo-type-specific
+  pre-commit extras (e.g. `go mod tidy` verification in Go repos) belong in
+  `script/precommit`, not in the hook itself. Model scripts are at
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/script/<name>`. The README

+  layer stays cached until dependencies change.
+
+- **Dockerfiles must use a separate lint stage for fail-fast feedback.** Go
+  repos use a multistage build where linting runs in an independent stage based
+  on the `golangci/golangci-lint` image (pinned by hash). This stage runs
+  `make fmt-check` and `make lint` before the full build begins. The build stage
+  then declares an explicit dependency on the lint stage via
+  `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null`, which forces BuildKit to complete
+  linting before proceeding to compilation and tests. This ensures lint failures
+  surface in seconds rather than minutes, without blocking on dependency
+  download or compilation in the build stage.
+
+    The standard pattern for a Go repo Dockerfile is:
+
+    ```dockerfile
+    # Lint stage — fast feedback on formatting and lint issues
+    # golangci/golangci-lint:v2.x.x, YYYY-MM-DD
+    FROM golangci/golangci-lint@sha256:... AS lint
+    WORKDIR /src
+    COPY go.mod go.sum ./
+    RUN go mod download
+    COPY . .
+    RUN make fmt-check
+    RUN make lint
+
+    # Build stage
+    # golang:1.x-alpine, YYYY-MM-DD
+    FROM golang@sha256:... AS builder
+    WORKDIR /src
+
+    # Force BuildKit to run the lint stage before proceeding
+    COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null
+
+    COPY go.mod go.sum ./
+    RUN go mod download

+
+    # Runtime stage
+    FROM alpine@sha256:...
+    COPY --from=builder /app /usr/local/bin/app
+    ENTRYPOINT ["app"]
+    ```
+
+    Key points:
+    - The lint stage uses the `golangci/golangci-lint` image directly (it
+      includes both Go and the linter), so there is no need to install the
+      linter separately.
+    - `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null` is a no-op file copy that creates
+      a stage dependency. BuildKit runs stages in parallel by default; without
+      this line, the build stage would not wait for lint to finish and a lint
+      failure might not fail the overall build.
+    - If the project uses `//go:embed` directives that reference build artifacts
+      (e.g. a web frontend compiled in a separate stage), the lint stage must
+      create placeholder files so the embed directives resolve. Example:
+      `RUN mkdir -p web/dist && touch web/dist/index.html web/dist/style.css`.
+      The lint stage should not depend on the actual build output — it exists to
+      fail fast.
+    - If the project requires CGO or system libraries for linting (e.g.
+      `vips-dev`), install them in the lint stage with `apk add`.
+    - The build stage runs `make test` after compilation setup. Tests run in the
+      build stage, not the lint stage, because they may require compiled
+      artifacts or heavier dependencies.

+        - Maximum response body size where applicable (e.g. paginated APIs).
+        - `ReadTimeout` and `ReadHeaderTimeout` on the `http.Server` to defend
+          against slowloris attacks.
+        - `WriteTimeout` on the `http.Server`.
+        - `IdleTimeout` on the `http.Server`.
+        - Per-handler execution time limits via `context.WithTimeout` or
+          chi/stdlib `middleware.Timeout`.
+    - **Authentication and session security:**
+        - Rate limiting on password-based authentication endpoints. API keys are
+          high-entropy and not susceptible to brute force, so they are exempt.
+        - CSRF tokens on all state-mutating HTML forms. API endpoints
+          authenticated via `Authorization` header (Bearer token, API key) are
+          exempt because the browser does not attach these automatically.
+        - Passwords stored using bcrypt, scrypt, or argon2 — never plain-text,
+          MD5, or SHA.
+        - Session cookies set with `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite=Lax` (or
+          `Strict`) attributes.
+    - **Reverse proxy awareness:**
+        - True client IP detection when behind a reverse proxy
+          (`X-Forwarded-For`, `X-Real-IP`). The application must accept
+          forwarded headers only from a configured set of trusted proxy
+          addresses — never trust `X-Forwarded-For` unconditionally.
+    - **CORS:**
+        - Authenticated endpoints must restrict `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` to
+          an explicit allowlist of known origins. Wildcard (`*`) is acceptable
+          only for public, unauthenticated read-only APIs.
+    - **Error handling:**
+        - Internal errors must never leak stack traces, SQL queries, file paths,
+          or other implementation details to the client. Return generic error
+          messages in production; detailed errors only when `DEBUG` is enabled.
+    - **TLS:**
+        - Services never terminate TLS directly. They are always deployed behind
+          a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. The service itself listens on plain
+          HTTP. However, HSTS headers and `Secure` cookie flags must still be
+          set by the application so that the browser enforces HTTPS end-to-end.
+
+    This list is non-exhaustive. Apply defense-in-depth: if a standard security
+    hardening measure exists for HTTP services and is not listed here, it is
+    still expected. When in doubt, harden.
