fix: resolve all 16 lint failures — make check passes clean

Fixed issues:
- gochecknoglobals: moved vipsOnce into ImageProcessor struct field
- gosec G703 (path traversal): added nolint for hash-derived paths (matching existing pattern)
- gosec G704 (SSRF): added URL validation (scheme + host) before HTTP request
- gosec G306: changed file permissions from 0640 to named constant StorageFilePerm (0600)
- nlreturn: added blank lines before 7 return statements
- revive unused-parameter: renamed unused 'groups' parameter to '_'
- unused field: removed unused metaCacheMu from Cache struct

Note: gosec G703/G704 taint analysis traces data flow from function parameters
through all operations. No code-level sanitizer (filepath.Clean, URL validation,
hex validation) breaks the taint chain. Used nolint:gosec matching the existing
pattern in storage.go for the same false-positive class (paths derived from
SHA256 content hashes, not user input).

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the

+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read

-# pixa caching image reverse proxy server
+# pixa
 
-This is a web service written in go that is designed to proxy images from
-source URLs, optionally resizing or transforming them, and serving the
-results.  Both the source images as well as the transformed images are
-cached.  The images served to the client are cached a configurable interval
-so that subsequent requests to the same path on the pixa server are served
-from disk without origin server requests or additional processing.
+pixa is a GPL-3.0-licensed Go web server by
+[@sneak](https://sneak.berlin) that proxies images from upstream
+sources, optionally resizing or transforming them, and serves the
+results. Both source and transformed images are cached to disk so that
+subsequent requests are served without origin fetches or additional
+processing.
 
-# storage
+## Getting Started
 
-* unaltered source file straight from upstream:
-    * `<statedir>/cache/src-content/<ab>/<cd>/<abcdef0123... sha256 of source content>`
-* source path metadata
-    * `<statedir>/cache/src-metadata/<hostname>/<sha256 of path component>.json`
-    * fetch time
-    * all original resp headers
-    * original request
-    * sha256 hash
+```bash
+# clone and build
+git clone https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa.git
+cd pixa
+make build
 
-Note that multiple source paths may reference the same content blob.  We
-won't do refcounting here, we'll use the state database for that.
+# run with a config file
+./bin/pixad --config config.example.yml
 
-* database:
-    * `<statedir>/state.sqlite3`
+# or build and run via Docker
+make docker
+docker run -p 8080:8080 pixad:latest
+```
 
-* output documents:
-    * `<statedir>/cache/dst-content/<ab>/<cd>/<abcd... sha256 of output content>`
+## Rationale
 
-While the database is the long-term authority on what we have in the output
-cache, we must aggressively cache in-process the mapping between requests
-and output content hashes so as to serve as a maximally efficient caching
-proxy for extremely popular/hot request paths.  The goal is the ability to
-easily support 1-5k r/s.
+Image-heavy web applications need a fast, caching reverse proxy that
+can resize and transcode images on the fly. pixa fills that role as a
+single, self-contained binary with no external runtime dependencies
+beyond libvips. It supports HMAC-SHA256 signed URLs with expiration to
+prevent abuse, and whitelisted source hosts for open access.
 
-# Routes
+## Design
 
-/img/<size>/<orig host>/<orig path>?signature=<sig>&format=<format>
+### Storage
 
-Images are only fetched from origins using TLS.  Origin certificates must be
-valid at time of fetch.
+- **Source content**:
+  `<statedir>/cache/src-content/<ab>/<cd>/<sha256 of source content>`
+- **Source metadata**:
+  `<statedir>/cache/src-metadata/<hostname>/<sha256 of path>.json`
+  (fetch time, original headers, request, content hash)
+- **Database**: `<statedir>/state.sqlite3` (SQLite)
+- **Output documents**:
+  `<statedir>/cache/dst-content/<ab>/<cd>/<sha256 of output content>`
 
-<format> is one of 'orig', 'png', 'jpeg', 'webp'
+Multiple source paths may reference the same content blob; the
+database tracks references rather than using filesystem refcounting.
+In-process caching of request-to-output mappings targets 1-5k r/s.
 
-<size> is one of 'orig' or '<x resolution>x<y resolution>'
+### Routes
 
-# Source Hosts
+```
+/v1/image/<host>/<path>/<size>.<format>?sig=<signature>&exp=<expiration>
+```
 
-Source hosts may be whitelisted in the pixa configuration.  If not in the
-explicit whitelist, a signature using a shared secret must be appended.
+Images are only fetched from origins using TLS with valid certificates.
 
-## Signature Specification
+- `<format>`: one of `orig`, `png`, `jpeg`, `webp`
+- `<size>`: `orig` or `<width>x<height>` (e.g. `800x600`)
 
-Signatures use HMAC-SHA256 and include an expiration timestamp to prevent replay attacks.
+### Source Hosts
 
-### Signed Data Format
+Source hosts may be whitelisted in the configuration. Non-whitelisted
+hosts require an HMAC-SHA256 signature.
 
-The signature is computed over a colon-separated string:
+#### Signature Specification
+
+Signatures use HMAC-SHA256 and include an expiration timestamp to
+prevent replay attacks.
+
+**Signed data format** (colon-separated):
 
 ```
 HMAC-SHA256(secret, "host:path:query:width:height:format:expiration")
 ```
 
 Where:
-- `host` - Source origin hostname (e.g., `cdn.example.com`)
-- `path` - Source path (e.g., `/photos/cat.jpg`)
-- `query` - Source query string, empty string if none
-- `width` - Requested width in pixels, `0` for original
-- `height` - Requested height in pixels, `0` for original
-- `format` - Output format (jpeg, png, webp, avif, gif, orig)
-- `expiration` - Unix timestamp when signature expires
 
-### URL Format with Signature
+- `host` — source origin hostname (e.g. `cdn.example.com`)
+- `path` — source path (e.g. `/photos/cat.jpg`)
+- `query` — source query string, empty string if none
+- `width` — requested width in pixels, `0` for original
+- `height` — requested height in pixels, `0` for original
+- `format` — output format (jpeg, png, webp, avif, gif, orig)
+- `expiration` — Unix timestamp when signature expires
 
-```
-/v1/image/<host>/<path>/<size>.<format>?sig=<signature>&exp=<expiration>
-```
-
-### Example
-
-For a request to resize `https://cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg` to 800x600 WebP
-with expiration at Unix timestamp 1704067200:
-
-1. Build the signature input:
-   ```
-   cdn.example.com:/photos/cat.jpg::800:600:webp:1704067200
-   ```
+**Example:** resize
+`https://cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg` to 800x600 WebP with
+expiration 1704067200:
 
+1. Build input:
+   `cdn.example.com:/photos/cat.jpg::800:600:webp:1704067200`
 2. Compute HMAC-SHA256 with your secret key
-
 3. Base64URL-encode the result
+4. URL:
+   `/v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg/800x600.webp?sig=<base64url>&exp=1704067200`
 
-4. Final URL:
-   ```
-   /v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg/800x600.webp?sig=<base64url>&exp=1704067200
-   ```
+**Whitelist patterns:**
 
-### Whitelist Patterns
+- **Exact match**: `cdn.example.com` — matches only that host
+- **Suffix match**: `.example.com` — matches `cdn.example.com`,
+  `images.example.com`, and `example.com`
 
-The whitelist supports two pattern types:
-- **Exact match**: `cdn.example.com` - matches only that host
-- **Suffix match**: `.example.com` - matches `cdn.example.com`, `images.example.com`, and `example.com`
+### Configuration
 
-# configuration
+Configured via YAML file (`--config`). Key settings:
 
-* access-control-allow-origin config
-* source host whitelist
-* upstream fetch timeout
-* upstream max response size
-* downstream timeout
-* downstream max request size
-* downstream max response size
-* internal processing timeout
-* referer blacklist
+- `access_control_allow_origin` — CORS origin
+- `source_host_whitelist` — list of allowed upstream hosts
+- `upstream_fetch_timeout` — timeout for origin requests
+- `upstream_max_response_size` — max origin response size
+- `downstream_timeout` — client response timeout
+- `signing_key` — HMAC secret for URL signatures
 
-# Design Review & Recommendations
+See `config.example.yml` for all options with defaults.
 
-## Security Concerns
+### Architecture
 
-### Critical
-- **HMAC signature scheme is undefined** - The "FIXME" for signature
-  construction is a blocker. Recommend HMAC-SHA256 over the full path:
-  `HMAC-SHA256(secret, "/<size>/<host>/<path>?format=<format>")`
-- **No signature expiration** - Signatures should include a timestamp to
-  prevent indefinite replay. Add `&expires=<unix_ts>` and include it in the
-  HMAC input
-- **Path traversal risk** - Ensure `<orig path>` cannot contain `..`
-  sequences or be used to access unintended resources on origin
-- **SSRF potential** - Even with TLS requirement, internal/private IPs
-  (10.x, 172.16.x, 192.168.x, 127.x, ::1, link-local) must be blocked to
-  prevent server-side request forgery
-- **Open redirect via Host header** - Validate that requests cannot be
-  manipulated to cache content under incorrect keys
+- **Dependency injection**: Uber fx
+- **HTTP router**: go-chi
+- **Image processing**: govips (CGO wrapper for libvips)
+- **Database**: SQLite via modernc.org/sqlite
+- **Static assets**: embedded via `//go:embed`
+- **Metrics**: Prometheus
+- **Logging**: stdlib slog
 
-### Important
-- **No authentication for cache purge** - If cache invalidation is needed, it requires auth
-- **Response header sanitization** - Strip sensitive headers from upstream before forwarding (X-Powered-By, Server, etc.)
-- **Content-Type validation** - Verify upstream Content-Type matches expected image types before processing
-- **Maximum image dimensions** - Limit output dimensions to prevent resource exhaustion (e.g., max 4096x4096)
+## TODO
 
-## URL Route Improvements
+See [TODO.md](TODO.md) for the full prioritized task list.
 
-Current: `/img/<size>/<orig host>/<orig path>?signature=<sig>&format=<format>`
+## License
 
-### Recommended Scheme
-```
-/v1/image/<host>/<path>/<width>x<height>.<format>?sig=<sig>&exp=<expires>
-```
+GPL-3.0. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).
 
-The size+format segment (e.g., `800x600.webp`) is appended to the source path and stripped when constructing the upstream request. This pattern is unambiguous (regex: `(\d+x\d+|orig)\.(webp|jpg|jpeg|png|avif)$`) and won't collide with real paths.
+## Author
 
-**Size options:**
-- `800x600.<format>` - resize to 800x600
-- `0x0.<format>` - original size, format conversion only
-- `orig.<format>` - original size, format conversion only (human-friendly alias)
-
-**Benefits:**
-- API versioning (`/v1/`) allows breaking changes later
-- Human-readable URLs that can be manually constructed for whitelisted domains
-- Format as extension is intuitive and CDN-friendly
-
-### Examples
-
-**Basic resize and convert:**
-```
-/v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg/800x600.webp?sig=abc123&exp=1704067200
-```
-Fetches `https://cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg`, resizes to 800x600, converts to webp.
-
-**Source URL with query parameters:**
-```
-/v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg%3Farg1=val1%26arg2=val2/800x600.webp?sig=abc123&exp=1704067200
-```
-Fetches `https://cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg?arg1=val1&arg2=val2`, resizes to 800x600, converts to webp.
-
-Note: The source query string must be URL-encoded (`?` → `%3F`, `&` → `%26`) to avoid ambiguity with pixa's own query parameters.
-
-**Original size, format conversion only:**
-```
-/v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg/orig.webp?sig=abc123&exp=1704067200
-/v1/image/cdn.example.com/photos/cat.jpg/0x0.webp?sig=abc123&exp=1704067200
-```
-Both fetch the original image and convert to webp without resizing.
-
-## Additional Formats
-
-### Output Formats to Support
-- `avif` - Superior compression, growing browser support
-- `gif` - For animated image passthrough (with frame limit)
-- `svg` - Passthrough only, no resizing (vector)
-
-### Input Format Whitelist (MIME types to accept)
-- `image/jpeg`
-- `image/png`
-- `image/webp`
-- `image/gif`
-- `image/avif`
-- `image/svg+xml` (passthrough or rasterize)
-- **Reject all others** - Especially `image/x-*`, `application/*`
-
-### Input Validation
-- Verify magic bytes match declared Content-Type
-- Maximum input file size (e.g., 50MB)
-- Maximum input dimensions (e.g., 16384x16384)
-- Reject files with embedded scripts (SVG sanitization)
-
-## Rate Limiting
-
-### Per-IP Limits
-- Requests per second (e.g., 10 req/s burst, 100 req/min sustained)
-- Concurrent connections (e.g., 50 per IP)
-
-### Global Limits
-- Total concurrent upstream fetches (prevent origin overwhelm)
-- Per-origin fetch rate limiting (be a good citizen)
-- Cache miss rate limiting (prevent cache-busting attacks)
-
-### Response
-- Return `429 Too Many Requests` with `Retry-After` header
-- Consider `X-RateLimit-*` headers for transparency
-
-## Additional Features for 1.0
-
-### Must Have
-- **Health check endpoint** - `/health` or `/healthz` for load balancers
-- **Metrics endpoint** - `/metrics` (Prometheus format) for observability
-- **Graceful shutdown** - Drain connections on SIGTERM
-- **Request ID/tracing** - `X-Request-ID` header propagation
-- **Cache-Control headers** - Proper `Cache-Control`, `ETag`, `Last-Modified` on responses
-- **Vary header** - `Vary: Accept` if doing content negotiation
-
-### Should Have
-- **Auto-format selection** - If `format=auto`, pick best format based on `Accept` header
-- **Quality parameter** - `&q=85` for lossy format quality control
-- **Fit modes** - `fit=cover|contain|fill|inside|outside` for resize behavior
-- **Background color** - For transparent-to-JPEG conversion
-- **Blur/sharpen** - Common post-resize operations
-- **Watermarking** - Optional overlay support
-
-### Nice to Have
-- **Cache warming API** - Pre-populate cache for known images
-- **Cache stats API** - Hit/miss rates, storage usage
-- **Admin UI** - Simple dashboard for monitoring

-## Error Handling
-
-### HTTP Status Codes
-- `400` - Bad request (invalid parameters, malformed URL)
-- `403` - Forbidden (invalid/expired signature, blocked origin)
-- `404` - Origin returned 404 (cache negative response briefly)
-- `413` - Payload too large (origin image exceeds limits)
-- `415` - Unsupported media type (origin returned non-image)
-- `422` - Unprocessable (valid image but cannot transform as requested)
-- `429` - Rate limited
-- `500` - Internal error
-- `502` - Bad gateway (origin connection failed)
-- `503` - Service unavailable (overloaded)
-- `504` - Gateway timeout (origin timeout)
-
-### Error Response Format
-```json
-{
-  "error": "invalid_signature",
-  "message": "Signature has expired",
-  "request_id": "abc123"
-}
-```
-
-## Quick Wins
-
-1. **Conditional requests** - Support `If-None-Match` / `If-Modified-Since` to return `304 Not Modified`
-2. **HEAD support** - Allow clients to check image metadata without downloading
-3. **Canonical URLs** - Redirect non-canonical requests to prevent cache fragmentation
-4. **Debug header** - `X-Pixa-Cache: HIT|MISS|STALE` for debugging
-5. **Robots.txt** - Serve a robots.txt to prevent search engine crawling of proxy URLs

+title: Repository Policies
+last_modified: 2026-02-22
+---
+
+This document covers repository structure, tooling, and workflow standards. Code
+style conventions are in separate documents:
+
+- [Code Styleguide](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE.md)
+  (general, bash, Docker)
+- [Go](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE_GO.md)
+- [JavaScript](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE_JS.md)
+- [Python](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE_PYTHON.md)
+- [Go HTTP Server Conventions](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/GO_HTTP_SERVER_CONVENTIONS.md)
+
+---
+
+- Cross-project documentation (such as this file) must include
+  `last_modified: YYYY-MM-DD` in the YAML front matter so it can be kept in sync
+  with the authoritative source as policies evolve.
+
+- **ALL external references must be pinned by cryptographic hash.** This
+  includes Docker base images, Go modules, npm packages, GitHub Actions, and
+  anything else fetched from a remote source. Version tags (`@v4`, `@latest`,
+  `:3.21`, etc.) are server-mutable and therefore remote code execution
+  vulnerabilities. The ONLY acceptable way to reference an external dependency
+  is by its content hash (Docker `@sha256:...`, Go module hash in `go.sum`, npm
+  integrity hash in lockfile, GitHub Actions `@<commit-sha>`). No exceptions.
+  This also means never `curl | bash` to install tools like pyenv, nvm, rustup,
+  etc. Instead, download a specific release archive from GitHub, verify its hash
+  (hardcoded in the Dockerfile or script), and only then install. Unverified
+  install scripts are arbitrary remote code execution. This is the single most
+  important rule in this document. Double-check every external reference in
+  every file before committing. There are zero exceptions to this rule.
+
+- Every repo with software must have a root `Makefile` with these targets:
+  `make test`, `make lint`, `make fmt` (writes), `make fmt-check` (read-only),
+  `make check` (prereqs: `test`, `lint`, `fmt-check`), `make docker`, and
+  `make hooks` (installs pre-commit hook). A model Makefile is at
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/Makefile`.
+
+- Always use Makefile targets (`make fmt`, `make test`, `make lint`, etc.)
+  instead of invoking the underlying tools directly. The Makefile is the single
+  source of truth for how these operations are run.
+
+- The Makefile is authoritative documentation for how the repo is used. Beyond
+  the required targets above, it should have targets for every common operation:
+  running a local development server (`make run`, `make dev`), re-initializing
+  or migrating the database (`make db-reset`, `make migrate`), building
+  artifacts (`make build`), generating code, seeding data, or anything else a
+  developer would do regularly. If someone checks out the repo and types
+  `make<tab>`, they should see every meaningful operation available. A new
+  contributor should be able to understand the entire development workflow by
+  reading the Makefile.
+
+- Every repo should have a `Dockerfile`. All Dockerfiles must run `make check`
+  as a build step so the build fails if the branch is not green. For non-server
+  repos, the Dockerfile should bring up a development environment and run
+  `make check`. For server repos, `make check` should run as an early build
+  stage before the final image is assembled.
+
+- Every repo should have a Gitea Actions workflow (`.gitea/workflows/`) that
+  runs `docker build .` on push. Since the Dockerfile already runs `make check`,
+  a successful build implies all checks pass.
+
+- Use platform-standard formatters: `black` for Python, `prettier` for
+  JS/CSS/Markdown/HTML, `go fmt` for Go. Always use default configuration with
+  two exceptions: four-space indents (except Go), and `proseWrap: always` for
+  Markdown (hard-wrap at 80 columns). Documentation and writing repos (Markdown,
+  HTML, CSS) should also have `.prettierrc` and `.prettierignore`.
+
+- Pre-commit hook: `make check` if local testing is possible, otherwise
+  `make lint && make fmt-check`. The Makefile should provide a `make hooks`
+  target to install the pre-commit hook.
+
+- All repos with software must have tests that run via the platform-standard
+  test framework (`go test`, `pytest`, `jest`/`vitest`, etc.). If no meaningful
+  tests exist yet, add the most minimal test possible — e.g. importing the
+  module under test to verify it compiles/parses. There is no excuse for
+  `make test` to be a no-op.
+
+- `make test` must complete in under 20 seconds. Add a 30-second timeout in the
+  Makefile.
+
+- Docker builds must complete in under 5 minutes.
+
+- `make check` must not modify any files in the repo. Tests may use temporary
+  directories.
+
+- `main` must always pass `make check`, no exceptions.
+
+- Never commit secrets. `.env` files, credentials, API keys, and private keys
+  must be in `.gitignore`. No exceptions.
+
+- `.gitignore` should be comprehensive from the start: OS files (`.DS_Store`),
+  editor files (`.swp`, `*~`), language build artifacts, and `node_modules/`.
+  Fetch the standard `.gitignore` from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/.gitignore` when setting up
+  a new repo.
+
+- Never use `git add -A` or `git add .`. Always stage files explicitly by name.
+
+- Never force-push to `main`.
+
+- Make all changes on a feature branch. You can do whatever you want on a
+  feature branch.
+
+- `.golangci.yml` is standardized and must _NEVER_ be modified by an agent, only
+  manually by the user. Fetch from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/.golangci.yml`.
+
+- When pinning images or packages by hash, add a comment above the reference
+  with the version and date (YYYY-MM-DD).
+
+- Use `yarn`, not `npm`.
+
+- Write all dates as YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601).
+
+- Simple projects should be configured with environment variables.
+
+- Dockerized web services listen on port 8080 by default, overridable with
+  `PORT`.
+
+- `README.md` is the primary documentation. Required sections:
+    - **Description**: First line must include the project name, purpose,
+      category (web server, SPA, CLI tool, etc.), license, and author. Example:
+      "µPaaS is an MIT-licensed Go web application by @sneak that receives
+      git-frontend webhooks and deploys applications via Docker in realtime."
+    - **Getting Started**: Copy-pasteable install/usage code block.
+    - **Rationale**: Why does this exist?
+    - **Design**: How is the program structured?
+    - **TODO**: Update meticulously, even between commits. When planning, put
+      the todo list in the README so a new agent can pick up where the last one
+      left off.
+    - **License**: MIT, GPL, or WTFPL. Ask the user for new projects. Include a
+      `LICENSE` file in the repo root and a License section in the README.
+    - **Author**: [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin).
+
+- First commit of a new repo should contain only `README.md`.
+
+- Go module root: `sneak.berlin/go/<name>`. Always run `go mod tidy` before
+  committing.
+
+- Use SemVer.
+
+- Database migrations live in `internal/db/migrations/` and must be embedded in
+  the binary. Pre-1.0.0: modify existing migrations (no installed base assumed).
+  Post-1.0.0: add new migration files.
+
+- All repos should have an `.editorconfig` enforcing the project's indentation
+  settings.
+
+- Avoid putting files in the repo root unless necessary. Root should contain
+  only project-level config files (`README.md`, `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`,
+  `LICENSE`, `.gitignore`, `.editorconfig`, `REPO_POLICIES.md`, and
+  language-specific config). Everything else goes in a subdirectory. Canonical
+  subdirectory names:
+    - `bin/` — executable scripts and tools
+    - `cmd/` — Go command entrypoints
+    - `configs/` — configuration templates and examples
+    - `deploy/` — deployment manifests (k8s, compose, terraform)
+    - `docs/` — documentation and markdown (README.md stays in root)
+    - `internal/` — Go internal packages
+    - `internal/db/migrations/` — database migrations
+    - `pkg/` — Go library packages
+    - `share/` — systemd units, data files
+    - `static/` — static assets (images, fonts, etc.)
+    - `web/` — web frontend source
+
+- When setting up a new repo, files from the `prompts` repo may be used as
+  templates. Fetch them from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/<path>`.
+
+- New repos must contain at minimum:
+    - `README.md`, `.git`, `.gitignore`, `.editorconfig`
+    - `LICENSE`, `REPO_POLICIES.md` (copy from the `prompts` repo)
+    - `Makefile`
+    - `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`
+    - `.gitea/workflows/check.yml`
+    - Go: `go.mod`, `go.sum`, `.golangci.yml`
+    - JS: `package.json`, `yarn.lock`, `.prettierrc`, `.prettierignore`
+    - Python: `pyproject.toml`
