access_control_allow_origin, upstream_fetch_timeout,
upstream_max_response_size and downstream_timeout were in the README
but unknown to pixa, so a config that followed it aborted startup. Each
is now a setting with its PIXA_ variable, defaulting to the value that
was fixed in the code: *, 30s, 50 MiB and 60s. Durations are positive Go
duration strings; the size is a positive whole number of bytes; the
origin is * or one scheme and host. An invalid value aborts startup
naming the key and value. downstream_timeout replaces HTTPWriteTimeout
for the server's write timeout and the per-request timeout.

Failing tests for access_control_allow_origin, upstream_fetch_timeout,
upstream_max_response_size and downstream_timeout: their defaults,
valid values from the file and the environment, invalid values aborting
startup naming the key or variable and the value, the CORS middleware
answering with the configured origin, and the server's write timeout
coming from downstream_timeout. They do not compile until the settings
exist.

POST / had no limit, so the signing key could be guessed at no cost. It
is now limited to 5 attempts per minute per client by a new RateLimit
middleware on github.com/go-chi/httprate; an attempt over the limit gets
429 with Retry-After. It counts by the address the ClientIP middleware
resolved through trusted_proxies (an IPv4-mapped address as its IPv4
address, IPv6 by its /64) and runs after the body-size and CSRF checks,
so every attempt that reaches the key comparison is counted. README says
that with the default trusted_proxies a client with a private address
can choose its counted address, and how to close that.

RFC1918 ranges are the default trusted proxy set on an omitted key; an explicit list replaces the default; an explicit empty list trusts no one; unparseable values abort startup; forwarded headers honored only from trusted peers. Independent review passed: #127 (comment)

SecurityHeaders() now also sets Strict-Transport-Security (one year, includeSubDomains), a Content-Security-Policy (default-src self, frame-ancestors none) and a Permissions-Policy denying the browser features pixa does not use. X-Frame-Options stays as the legacy fallback.
What a reader would trip over: HSTS is sent on every response even though pixa listens on plain HTTP behind a TLS-terminating proxy; browsers ignore the header over plaintext, and this avoids trusting a forwarded-proto header. The clipboard feature is left unlisted so the copy button on the generator page keeps working.
Disclosure: script-src and style-src carry unsafe-inline because the generator template has inline onclick handlers and the bundled Tailwind script injects a style element at runtime; removing it needs template changes and is tracked separately.

Accumulating milestone branch. One squashed commit per closed issue; `next` is kept green and mergeable to `main` at any time without notice.
Landed so far:
- `chore: update golangci-lint to v2.12.2 with canonical config` (#54) — canonical v2-schema `.golangci.yml`, pins bumped in `Dockerfile` and `script/bootstrap`, tree at `0 issues.`. Three behaviour deltas are recorded in that PR's body: `Cache.StoreVariant` takes a context, `MetadataStorage.Store` no longer leaks temp files on failure, and the `signing_key` too-short error text gained a `value too short:` prefix.
Sequencing for the milestone is tracked in #103.
Reviewed-on: #105

- Middleware now tracks and logs bytes written via response_bytes
- Handler logs cache_key for cache hit debugging
- Changed "served encrypted image" to "image served" (only URL is encrypted)
