Document every route, encrypted URLs and the config file search (closes #75 )

README.md "Routes" lists every route pixa registers with its method, purpose, what it needs and the status codes it answers with, read from the handlers, and says q and fit are part of what is cached. A new "Encrypted URLs" section covers logging in with the signing key, making a URL on the generator page, how long it lasts, and the 410 once it has expired. "Configuration" gives the order in which pixa looks for its config file. config.example.yml now lists db_url and env and gives every key's default. scripts/manual-test.sh is left to #97. Model: opus-5-5

 ## Deployment
 pixa listens on plain HTTP and runs behind a reverse proxy that terminates TLS.
 [`configs/Caddyfile`](configs/Caddyfile) is an example for Caddy, chosen because
 it is the smallest correct one: Caddy gets the TLS certificate itself and does
 everything in this list without further settings. The reverse proxy must:
 - terminate TLS, as the login and generator pages work only over HTTPS (see
  Routes);
 - pass the `Host`, `Origin` and `Referer` headers on unchanged, as pixa refuses
  a form from those pages unless `Origin` or `Referer` names the host in `Host`,
  builds encrypted URLs from `Host`, and checks `Referer` against
  `referer_blocklist`;
 - set `X-Forwarded-For` to the client's address, with `trusted_proxies` set to
  the address pixa sees the proxy's requests come from, so the login limit
  counts each client by its own address (see `trusted_proxies` under
  Configuration);
 - wait for pixa's answer for at least `downstream_timeout` (default `60s`), the
  longest pixa takes to fetch, convert and send an image.
 It may also refuse `/metrics`, as the example does, so that only a scraper that
 reaches pixa directly can read it; pixa itself asks for the metrics username and
 password there.
 pixa does the rest itself: it checks signatures and encrypted URLs, applies the
 allowlist, refuses upstream hosts with private or local addresses, limits login
 attempts, upstream response size and image dimensions, and sends the security
 headers, `Strict-Transport-Security` included, with every response.
 The state directory (`state_dir`, `/var/lib/pixa` in the container) holds the
 database and the disk cache:
 - It needs a persistent volume: without one, every restart starts with an empty
  cache. In the container, the startup script gives the directory to the user
  pixa runs as (uid 65532) and sets its mode to `750`; outside it, that user
  must be able to write the directory.
 - `cache_max_bytes` limits the source and transformed images together. The
  database, the metadata files, the `.meta` file beside each transformed image
  and files still being written come on top, and eviction runs in the
  background, so the cache can pass the limit for a while: leave room on the
  volume beyond it.
 - Set `cache_max_bytes` for a lasting deployment. Its default, worked out each
  time pixa starts, is 75% of the sum of the space free on the volume and the
  space the cached images already take, so a restart keeps the limit the cache
  had, but anything else that fills or frees space on the volume moves it.
 A load balancer's health check can request `/.well-known/healthcheck.json`,
 which answers 200 whenever pixa is running, in maintenance mode too (see
 `maintenance_mode`).
 On SIGTERM or SIGINT pixa stops accepting connections, gives the requests in
 progress and the images being processed 5 seconds to finish, and exits: with 0,
 or with 1 when images were still being processed after those 5 seconds or
 another part of pixa failed to stop. A request not finished by then is cut off.
 `docker stop` waits 10 seconds before it kills the container.
 Outside Docker, pixa needs libvips (the image has 8.15) and libheif to run, as
 it uses libvips through CGO; building it also needs their development files,
 `pkg-config` and a C compiler. `script/bootstrap --cgo` installs all of these,
 as the `Dockerfile` does where it compiles pixa. Plain `script/bootstrap`, which
 `script/setup` and `script/cibuild` run, installs git, make and Go, and Node,
 Yarn and the prettier pinned in `yarn.lock` for formatting the markdown, but
 none of the C libraries: the checks compile pixa in Docker. Docker itself must
 already be installed.

 Every response carries an `X-Request-ID` header holding the request's ID, which
 a client can quote when reporting a problem: the request's own `X-Request-ID`,
 as a reverse proxy in front of pixa may send, when it is at most 64 letters,
 digits, `-`, `_` or `.`; otherwise a random one pixa makes for the request,
 which tells nothing about the machine or the other requests. pixa's log line for
 the request carries the same ID as `request_id`, and so do the lines it logs
 when it fetches, converts and serves an image; the fetch sends it to the
 upstream host as `X-Request-ID`.

 With the format `auto`, pixa chooses the format for each request from its
 `Accept` header, in this order:
 1. AVIF, when the header names `image/avif`;
 2. WebP, when it names `image/webp`;
 3. JPEG, when the first of `image/jpeg`, `image/*` and `*/*` that it names
   allows it, or when there is no `Accept` header or it is empty.
 An entry with `q=0` refuses its format; other `q` values do not change the
 order. AVIF and WebP must be named, as clients that cannot show them also send
 `image/*` and `*/*`. pixa never sends a format the client refused: when the
 header allows none of the three, the answer is 406, and a header that does not
 parse, or has a `q` that is not a number from 0 to 1, is refused with 400. The
 signature, or the token of an encrypted URL, covers `auto` itself, so one URL
 serves every client. Each format chosen is cached as a separate image, and every
 answer that depends on `Accept` (the image, a 304, and the 400 and 406 above)
 carries `Vary: Accept`, so a shared cache keeps the formats apart too.

 `script/check`, `script/cibuild`, `script/docker`, `script/lint`, `script/test`,
 `script/setup` and `script/install-precommit` are the standard copies from
 `sneak/prompts`, kept identical to them. `script/fmt` and `script/fmt-check` are
 the standard copies with pixa's `gofmt` step kept before prettier. prettier
 formats the markdown only: not the HTML templates, as it cannot parse a Go
 template action inside a tag, and not `REPO_POLICIES.md` (see
 `.prettierignore`), a copy of the one in `sneak/prompts`.
 ## Load Test
 `script/loadtest` (or `make loadtest`) measures how fast pixad answers and how
 much memory it uses. It is a benchmark, not a check: `script/check` does not run
 it. It needs Docker and Go.
 ```bash
 script/loadtest           # 10 seconds per scenario, 4 clients
 script/loadtest 30s 32    # 30 seconds per scenario, 32 clients
 ```
 It builds the image with `script/docker` and the load tool,
 [vegeta](https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta), from a pinned commit. Each scenario
 starts a new pixad container and a new origin container, `cmd/loadtest-origin`:
 an upstream host that answers every path with the same generated 1600x1200 JPEG.
 vegeta then sends requests from the given number of clients, each sending its
 next request as soon as its last one is answered, all for an image resized to
 400x300 WebP:
 - `hit`: the same image every time, put in the cache first;
 - `miss`: a new source image every time, so pixad fetches and converts each one;
 - `herd`: each new source image once per client in a row, so that all clients
  ask for it at the same time and share one fetch and one conversion (see
  Routes).
 pixad refuses upstream hosts with private or local addresses, so the containers
 share a Docker network in `203.0.113.0/24`, a range set aside for documentation.
 A second run on the same Docker host while one is going fails, as it cannot
 create that network.
 For each scenario the script prints vegeta's report and two lines of its own:
 - `Requests [total, rate, throughput]`: the requests sent, how many were sent
  per second, and how many were answered successfully per second; the last is
  the number to compare with the target under Storage;
 - `Latencies [min, mean, 50, 90, 95, 99, max]`: the time from sending a request
  to the end of its answer; `50`, `95` and `99` are the 50th, 95th and 99th
  percentiles;
 - `Status Codes` and `Error Set`: anything other than `200` means the other
  numbers are not for the scenario described, such as `503` when pixad was busy;
 - `Bytes In`: `0`, as vegeta is told not to keep the images it receives;
 - `pixad peak memory (VmHWM)`: the peak resident memory of pixad's process since
  its container started, in kB; for `hit` it includes the request that put the
  image in the cache;
 - `requests to the origin`: the fetches pixad made: one for `hit`, one per
  request for `miss`, and one per image for `herd`, that is the requests sent
  divided by the number of clients.
 The numbers depend on the machine and on whatever else runs on it. The first
 measurement, made on a shared machine with few clients, is in `TODO.md`; it says
 nothing about the target.

+  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.
-    ```sh
+    The standard pattern for a Go repo Dockerfile is:
    docker build --no-cache --target lint -t "$(script/projectname)-lint" .
    docker build --no-cache --target test -t "$(script/projectname)-test" .
    ```
    **A stage that is not the last one in the file is built only when the final
    stage's chain depends on it, or when `--target` names it.** That is why the
    two gates are always invoked by name here, and why the final stage carries a
    `COPY --from=` of a harmless file from each of them: without that edge a
    plain `docker build .` builds the last stage alone and exits 0 having linted
    and tested nothing.
    **Every `docker build` in `script/` is tagged**, here and in
    `script/cibuild` and `script/docker`. An untagged build leaves a dangling
    image behind on every invocation, on every developer host and every CI
    runner; a tagged one replaces the previous image.
    Inside a phase the tool is invoked directly — `golangci-lint`, `go test`,
    `eslint`, `prettier` — never through `make lint` or `script/test`, which are
    themselves a `docker build` and would recurse into a daemon that does not
    exist in a build step. Formatting is the exception and stays on the host:
    `script/fmt` writes the working tree, and `script/fmt-check` is its
    read-only twin.
    **No lint verdict may come from a host invocation of the linter.** On a
    shared host golangci-lint reads a result cache keyed on file content rather
    than location, so a second checkout of the same content is served the first
    one's findings, and a host-global lock in `$TMPDIR` makes concurrent runs
    exit non-zero with `parallel golangci-lint is running` — a status a caller
    cannot tell from real findings. Both have produced wrong verdicts in this
    org, in both directions. A container has its own cache, its own `TMPDIR` and
    a digest-pinned binary, so neither is reachable.
 - **Any build that runs checks is built with `--no-cache`.** Docker invalidates
  a `COPY` layer only when the copied content changes, so on an unchanged tree
  the check `RUN` is served from cache, nothing executes, and the build still
  exits 0. Every `docker build` in `script/` therefore passes `--no-cache`:
  `script/lint`, `script/test`, `script/cibuild` and `script/docker` are the
  four, and there is no fifth — `script/check` runs the two gate phases and
  `script/fmt-check`, and builds no image of its own. A bare `docker build .` is
  not evidence that anything ran: a sub-second build reporting success is a
  cache hit, not a result. Never invalidate by pruning — `docker builder prune`
  and friends destroy a build cache shared with every other build on the host.
 - **The gate phases are separate stages, and the build stage depends on both.**
  The lint phase is based on the `golangci/golangci-lint` image (pinned by
  hash), so lint failures surface in seconds rather than after a full compile,
  and the test phase is based on the Go image. The canonical Go repo
  `Dockerfile`:

  semantics, in which an unanchored pattern already matches at every depth; they
  are not a `.dockerignore` and must not be transplanted into one unmodified.
 - **`.dockerignore` does not use `.gitignore` semantics, and copying patterns
  across unmodified leaves secrets in the build context.** Docker matches with
  `moby/patternmatcher`: `filepath.Match` semantics plus a `**` extension, so
  `*` does not cross `/` and a pattern without a leading `**/` is anchored at
  the build-context root. A `.dockerignore` listing `.env`, `*.pem` and `*.key`
  therefore excludes only the copies at the repository root, while `config/.env`
  and `certs/server.key` still reach the context and can land in an image layer
  — which is more dangerous than a short file with no secret patterns at all,
  because it reads as solved and stops anyone looking. Give every
  depth-independent pattern the `**/` prefix and leave only genuinely
  root-anchored entries unprefixed: `.git`, and the repo's own host-built
  binary, written `/myapp` and never `**/myapp`, which would also match
  `cmd/myapp/` and delete the package directory from the context. Matching is
  case-sensitive, and an ALL-CAPS twin per pattern still misses `Server.Key`, so
  secret names use character ranges — `**/*.[kK][eE][yY]`, `**/*.[pP][eE][mM]`,
  and likewise for `.envrc` and the extensionless SSH keys. Where such a pattern
  also catches something the build needs, re-include it with a negation
  (`!docs/example.env`); deleting the pattern reopens the exposure for every
  other file it covers. Fetch the standard `.dockerignore` from
  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/.dockerignore` and extend
  it with the repo's own artifacts.
 - **In-repo agent scratch belongs in both files, written to each file's own
  semantics.** `.claude/` holds one worktree per in-flight agent — an entire
  additional checkout of the repo — so under `COPY . .` the build context
  inflates by a multiple of the repo and another session's unreviewed work can
  be copied into an image layer. In `.gitignore` the entry is `.claude/`,
  unanchored. In `.dockerignore` it is `.claude`, anchored and with **no** `**/`
  prefix, because the prefixed form would also delete any nested directory of
  that name from the build. Anchoring carries a known gap that the canonical
  `.dockerignore` states in its own comment, since consuming repos receive the
  file and not the tracker: the directory is created in the agent's working
  directory, so a repo running agents in subdirectories still ships
  `services/api/.claude/` and must add its own anchored entry there.
 - **Excluding `.git` means `git describe` cannot run inside any build stage, and
  it fails quietly there.** In a build stage there is no repository, so
  `git describe` writes nothing to stdout, `-X main.Version=` comes out empty,
  the binary reports no version at all, and the build still exits 0. Compute the
  version on the host and thread it in as a build arg. `script/docker` and
  `script/cibuild` do this, byte-identically across repos:
    ```sh
    # Own line: a failing command substitution inside an argument does not
    # trip `set -e`, so the inline form degrades to an empty constant.
    version="$(git describe --tags --always --dirty 2>/dev/null || true)"
    [ -n "$version" ] || version="unknown"
    docker build --no-cache \
        --build-arg VERSION="$version" \
        -t "$(script/projectname)" .
    ```
    `--always` makes an untagged repo yield an abbreviated commit hash rather
    than failing, and the `[ -n "$version" ]` line is the single place the
    fallback is applied — a live check that fires on a build from an export with
    no `.git` and on a repository with no commits yet. Do not fold it into the
    substitution as `|| echo unknown`, which makes the guard unreachable. The
    Dockerfile's side is `ARG VERSION=dev` in the stage that compiles, declared
    there because `ARG` is stage-scoped; passing `VERSION` to a repo whose
    Dockerfile declares no such `ARG` is ignored and costs nothing, which is why
    the scripts stay byte-identical. One consequence for CI: the standard
    checkout action clones shallow and fetches no tags, so a repo that embeds a
    tag-derived version must set `fetch-depth: 0` on its checkout step.
 - **Verify `.dockerignore` by enumerating the image, not by reading the
  patterns.** Plant files at the root _and_ at least two directories deep, build
  a probe image that does `COPY . .`, and list what actually landed
  (`docker run --rm --entrypoint find IMAGE /app`). The `transferring context`
  size is not a substitute: a nested secret is a few bytes, and BuildKit

  disagree about what the tool even is. The canonical form:
    - compares the installed version against the pin over the **whole** version
      token; a parser that stops at the first `-` reports `2.12.2` for a host

  lists before its first apt install; with `--cgo`, which only the `test` phase
  and the build stage pass, it also installs the C compiler and the libvips and
  libheif libraries. The stage that compiles still takes the version from
  `git describe` when no `VERSION` is given, per
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/166, so the copied scripts' comment that
  `.dockerignore` leaves out `.git` does not hold for pixa.
 - 2026-10-04 load test (closes #81): `script/loadtest [duration [clients]]`
  (`make loadtest`, defaults `10s` and `4`), a benchmark that `script/check`
  does not run, measures three scenarios, each against a new pixad container and
  a new upstream host, `cmd/loadtest-origin`: `hit` (one cached image), `miss`
  (a new source image every request) and `herd` (each new source image asked for
  by all clients at once). For each it prints vegeta's report (requests per
  second, latency percentiles, status codes), pixad's peak resident memory and
  the requests that reached the origin. `README.md` says how to run it and read
  it, and keeps 1-5k r/s as a target not yet measured. First measurement, with
  the defaults on a shared 48-CPU machine with other work running: a baseline
  for later changes, not a test of the target. `hit` 1413 r/s, p50 0.7 ms, p95
  8.7 ms, p99 44 ms, peak 53 MiB (4 clients that each wait for their answer, so
  not pixad's limit); `miss` 70 r/s, p50 52 ms, p95 91 ms, p99 122 ms, peak 100
  MiB, one fetch per request; `herd` 74 r/s, p50 52 ms, p95 69 ms, p99 111 ms,
  peak 60 MiB, 188 fetches for 749 requests.
 - 2026-10-04 the CI checkout fetches the tags (closes #208): the checkout step
  in `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` sets `fetch-depth: 0`, as `REPO_POLICIES.md`
  asks of a repo that takes its version from the tags, so a CI build of a tagged
  commit stamps the tag from `git describe` instead of a bare commit.
 - 2026-10-04 `config.yml` stays out of git and the Docker build context (closes
  #212): `.gitignore` now ignores `config.yml`, the config file Getting Started
  creates with the signing key, and `.dockerignore` leaves it out in every
  directory and in any letter case, as it already did `config.yaml` and
  `config.dev.yml`.
 - 2026-10-04 local config files stay out of the Docker build context (closes
  #211): `.dockerignore` now leaves out `config.yaml` and `config.dev.yml` in
  every directory and in any letter case, the local config files `.gitignore`
  keeps out of git because they can hold the signing key.
  `configs/config.example.yml` is still sent. `config.yml`, which Getting
  Started creates, is in neither file:
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/212.
 - 2026-10-04 `cmd/pixad/main.go` is one call into `internal/` (closes #206):
  what it did (the command line and its `--config` flag, setting
  `PIXA_CONFIG_PATH`, ignoring `SIGPIPE`, starting the fx app) is now `Run` in
  `internal/app`, unchanged, and `main` calls it with `Version`, which the build
  still sets through `-X main.Version`. That code had no tests to move.
 - 2026-10-04 `.gitignore` ignores `.claude/` (closes #204): the entry and its
  comment are copied from the canonical `.gitignore` in `sneak/prompts`,
  unanchored so it matches at every depth. `.dockerignore` already has
  `.claude`.
 - 2026-10-04 `.dockerignore` keeps secrets out at every depth (closes #205): the
  file is now the standard one from `sneak/prompts`, whose patterns match in
  every directory and, for environment files and private keys, in any letter
  case, so a nested `.env` or `server.key` no longer reaches the build context.
  pixa still sends `.git` without `.git/config` in place of the standard file's
  `.git` line, and still leaves out `.gitignore`, `/bin` and `/data`.
 - 2026-10-04 `REPO_POLICIES.md` matches the canonical copy again (closes #196):
  it is replaced, unchanged, by `prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md` from `sneak/prompts`
  `main`. The rules it adds that pixa's tree breaks are filed:
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/202 (lint and tests as `Dockerfile`
  phases built with `--no-cache`), https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/203
  (the workflow's `script/docker-smoke` step),
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/204 (`.claude/` in `.gitignore`),
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/205 (`.dockerignore` patterns at every
  depth), https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/206 (a thin `cmd/pixad/main.go`)
  and https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/208 (`fetch-depth: 0` on the CI
  checkout, so the build sees the tags). Its rule that no build stage runs
  `git describe` is not followed: pixa takes the version from the `.git` in the
  build context, per https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/166, as the copy on
  `sneak/prompts` `next` already says.
 - 2026-10-04 an integration test of the image proxy flow (closes #80):
  `TestImageProxyFlow` in `internal/server` starts the database, handlers and
  middleware from the constructors `pixad` uses, with a fresh state directory,
  and replaces only the upstream origin with a local test server. For a resize
  with a change to JPEG and for `orig`, the first request goes through the
  router, the real fetcher, libvips, the disk cache and SQLite and answers 200
  with the right content type and size and `X-Pixa-Cache: MISS`; the second
  answers `HIT` with the same image and the upstream has had one request; the
  source and the converted image are then in `cache/sources` and
  `cache/variants`, with their rows in `source_content`, `source_metadata` and
  `variant_content`. Two optional fields make this possible, which `pixad` does
  not set and the config file and environment cannot:
  `httpfetcher.Config.DialContext` connects in place of the dialer that refuses
  internal addresses, the URL and redirect checks still running, and
  `handlers.Params.Fetcher` replaces the fetcher the handlers build.
 - 2026-10-04 a URL made on the generator page with a `ttl` is tested to expire
  (closes #199): a new test in `internal/handlers` makes a URL on the generator
  page with a `ttl` of one second, checks that `/v1/e/` serves it at once, waits
  two seconds and checks that it then answers 410. The test waits for real, as
  pixa reads the clock directly when it makes and checks a URL; it waits two
  seconds because the time a URL expires is kept in whole seconds. Test only.
 - 2026-10-04 referer blocklist (closes #90): `referer_blocklist`
  (`PIXA_REFERER_BLOCKLIST`) lists hosts, written and matched as for
  `allowlist_hosts` with the same matcher; an entry of either list that is
  neither a host name (letters, digits, hyphens, underscores and dots, with at
  most one leading dot) nor an IP address, such as one with a port or a `*.`
  wildcard, aborts startup naming the setting and the entry. Both image routes
  refuse a request whose `Referer` names a listed host with 403 and a JSON error
  before the signature, the cache and the upstream fetch, so it fetches nothing
  and is refused whether or not the image is cached. A request with no
  `Referer`, or one that does not parse as a URL with a host, is served, so the
  list is easily got around; `README.md` and `configs/config.example.yml` say
  so. It does not apply to the login and generator pages.
 - 2026-10-04 fewer files in the repository root (closes #97):
  `config.example.yml` moved unchanged to `configs/config.example.yml`, and
  `README.md`, the comments in `internal/config/config.go` and the startup error
  for the placeholder signing key name the new path; `scripts/manual-test.sh`
  and its directory are deleted, as the handler tests in `internal/handlers`
  cover every check it made except two: fetching a real image from the internet,
  and a URL made on the generator page with a `ttl` answering 410 once the `ttl`
  has passed (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa/issues/199); `CONVENTIONS.md` is
  deleted, as `REPO_POLICIES.md` links the canonical Go HTTP server conventions.
 - 2026-10-04 SQLite writes no longer fail with "database is locked" (closes
  #198): pixa adds `_pragma=busy_timeout(5000)` to every `db_url`, so a write
  that finds another in progress on another connection waits up to five seconds
  for it, and the default `db_url` turns on WAL mode with
  `_pragma=journal_mode(WAL)`. The old default's `_journal_mode=WAL` is not a
  parameter the driver reads, so the database was never in WAL mode.
 - 2026-10-04 `TestPeriodicReconciliationAdoptsFileThatAppearsAfterStartup` only
  passes through a periodic pass (closes #189): it slept for three eviction
  intervals before writing its file, and a startup pass still running then could
  adopt the file itself. It now holds the test database's only connection until
  the startup pass waits for it after walking the empty variant directory,
  writes the file and lets the connection go, as
  `TestEvictionRunsOnPeriodicSchedule` does, so only a periodic reconciliation
  pass can adopt the file. Test only.
 - 2026-10-04 logging in, logging out, the URL generator and `/v1/e/` have
  handler tests (closes #77): new tests in `internal/handlers`, with no network,
  check that `GET /` without a login session shows the login form; a wrong key
  shows it again with an error and sets no session cookie; the right key answers
  303 to `/` with a session cookie marked `Secure`, `HttpOnly` and
  `SameSite=Strict`, with which `GET /` shows the generator page; `GET /logout`
  answers 303 to `/` with an empty session cookie sent with `Max-Age=0`;
  `POST /generate` without a login session answers 303 to `/`; `/v1/e/` serves
  the image for a valid token, answers 410 for an expired one and 400 for one
  with a character changed, cut short or made with another signing key; and a
  URL made on the generator page is served by `/v1/e/`. No code changes.
 - 2026-10-04 `TODO.md` merges with git's union merge (closes #190): a root
  `.gitattributes`, copied from `sneak/prompts`, marks it `merge=union`, so two
  branches that each add an entry at the top of Completed Steps merge without a
  conflict and keep both entries. Git now never reports a conflict in `TODO.md`:
  a real one keeps both versions of the lines, and two entries that share an
  identical line can end up one inside the other, which a rebase can do to an
  entry already on `next`. The Workflow above says to read the merged entries
  after every merge or rebase.
 - 2026-10-04 the default `cache_max_bytes` no longer shrinks as the cache fills
  (closes #184): for an omitted key, the cache works out the limit when it
  opens, after the database is open, as 75% of the sum of the free space on the
  filesystem containing `<state_dir>/cache/` and what the cache already holds by
  its own size accounting, at least 500 MiB, so a cache filled to its limit
  keeps that limit across a restart. The computation and its tests moved from
  `internal/config` to `internal/imgcache`; the config only records whether the
  key was set.
 - 2026-10-04 `TestEvictionRunsOnPeriodicSchedule` no longer races the evictor
  (closes #183): it wrote each variant file and then inserted its accounting row
  by hand, and a reconciliation pass between the two adopted the file first, so
  the insert failed. It now writes the files only, while holding the test
  database's only connection so the evictor's startup pass waits after walking
  the empty variant directory; a periodic reconciliation pass then adopts the
  files and the eviction pass after it evicts them. No other test in
  `internal/imgcache` inserts a row by hand after starting the evictor. Test
  only.
 - 2026-10-04 a config file pixa cannot read aborts startup (closes #176): of the
  places pixa looks for its config file on its own, only one where the file does
  not exist is passed over; any other error, such as a directory on the path
  that pixa may not enter, aborts startup naming the file, as a file that does
  not parse already did.
 - 2026-10-04 `.golangci.yml` re-vendored from the canonical copy (closes #57):
  the deprecated `gomodguard` is switched off, so lint runs print no deprecation
  warning; its successor `gomodguard_v2` runs with the shared module block list,
  and `depguard` keeps `net/http/httptest` out of files that are not tests. The
  tree needed no code changes.
 - 2026-10-04 the Content-Security-Policy allows no inline script or style
  (closes #125): `script-src` and `style-src` are `'self'` only. The generator
  page's two inline `onclick` handlers moved into
  `internal/static/generator.js`, attached with `addEventListener`; the bundled
  Tailwind script, which built styles in the browser, is replaced by a small
  hand-written `internal/static/style.css` with only the rules the login and
  generator pages use, the templates carrying a few plain class names in place
  of Tailwind's. No build step. The pages keep their layout, not every pixel of
  it.
 - 2026-10-04 deployment guide and example Caddy config (closes #89):
  "Deployment" in `README.md` says what the reverse proxy in front of pixa must
  do (terminate TLS; pass `Host`, `Origin` and `Referer` on unchanged; set
  `X-Forwarded-For`, with `trusted_proxies` to match; wait at least
  `downstream_timeout`; optionally refuse `/metrics`) and what pixa does itself,
  that the state directory needs a persistent volume and what `cache_max_bytes`
  counts, the health check for a load balancer, what a stop does and its exit
  codes, and what running outside Docker needs; `configs/Caddyfile` is the
  example, checked with `caddy validate`.
 - 2026-10-04 the metrics basic auth, CORS preflight, request logging and metrics
  recording have tests (closes #79): `MetricsAuth` on its own answers 401 with a
  challenge without credentials or with a wrong username or password and lets
  the configured ones through; a preflight request gets `*` for any origin when
  `access_control_allow_origin` is `*` and no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` from
  another origin than the configured one; a `POST /` carrying the signing key
  leaves no trace of it in the request log line, and the login handler's own log
  lines leave out the submitted key; the metrics middleware on its own records a
  request it served, and the router records nothing while no metrics username is
  set. Not tested: that the router puts the basic auth in front of `/metrics`
  and records requests when a metrics username is set. Only one test per package
  can set up `/metrics`, and in `internal/server` that is
  `TestMaintenanceModeKeepsOtherRoutes`, which needs the owner's approval to
  change; #180 holds it. Tests only; the basic auth library already compares the
  password in constant time.
 - 2026-10-04 the image route's signature check and error answers are tested
  (closes #76): new tests in `internal/handlers`, with no network, check the
  status and JSON error body for a missing, wrong, unpadded, upper-case or
  expired signature on a host not on the allowlist, or a valid one sent for its
  parent domain, a sibling host, a subdomain or the host with another domain
  appended (401), an unparseable path (400), `localhost` as the upstream host
  (403) and an upstream error (502); that an allowlisted host is served without
  a signature, another host only with a valid one; and the answers of
  `/robots.txt` and the health check. No code changes.
 - 2026-10-04 request IDs returned and passed on, and `/v1/e/` revalidates
  (closes #84): pixa's own `RequestID` middleware, in place of chi's, gives each
  request an ID, its own `X-Request-ID` when that is at most 64 letters, digits,
  `-`, `_` or `.` and a random one otherwise, stores it where chi's did and
  sends it back as `X-Request-ID` on every response; the upstream fetch sends
  that ID, and the "upstream fetched", "image converted" and "image served" log
  lines carry it as `request_id`, a fetch shared by several requests carrying
  the first request's; `/v1/e/` sets `ETag`, answers a matching `If-None-Match`
  with 304 and is routed for `HEAD`, the `ETag` and 304 code being
  `notModified`, which `/v1/image/` calls too; its token checks moved unchanged
  into `parseImageEncRequest` to keep `HandleImageEnc` within the line limit; no
  `Vary` is added, as no response depends on a request header except the image
  routes' CORS headers, for which `go-chi/cors` already sends `Vary: Origin`;
  `Vary: Accept` is left to #88.
 - 2026-10-04 routes, encrypted URLs and config file documented (closes #75):

  `scripts/manual-test.sh` is left to #97.
 - 2026-10-04 shutdown stops cache eviction in progress (closes #102):
  `StartEviction` runs the eviction goroutine with its own context, which
  `StopEviction` cancels, so a pass in progress stops at its next database call,
  file, row or eviction candidate instead of running to completion, and no pass
  starts after it, so a stop logs at most one warning; `StopEviction` takes a
  context and, when that context ends before the goroutine exits, stops waiting
  and returns its error; the handlers' stop hook passes fx's stop context, so an
  eviction still running when fx's stop deadline ends fails the stop and makes
  the exit code 1.
 - 2026-10-04 dead code in `internal/imgcache` is gone (closes #73): `Purge`,
  which only returned an error and which nothing called, is no longer part of
  the `ImageCache` interface or `Service`; the `SignatureValidator`, `Allowlist`
  and `Storage` interfaces, which nothing implemented or used, are deleted.
