Security audit 2026-10-17, finding I6 (low), stage 3. /healthz is registered outside auth and every proxy fragment passed it through: the live server answered "ok" to the internet, and "unhealthy: postfix" would have been a free tell. Now handleHealth answers only a request with no X-Forwarded-For (nor Forwarded) from loopback or a private address: the image's HEALTHCHECK (127.0.0.1), the host through the loopback-published port (the Docker gateway), a monitor on the Docker network. Every supported proxy appends X-Forwarded-For, so through it the endpoint is 404. The plan named "trusted-proxy peers"; that would have let the internet in again through the trusted proxy, hence this shape. The e2e's readiness probe is the host's, and stays answered. Test: TestHealthzAnswersOnlyLocalProbes. Docs: guide § Container health, architecture.md; CHANGELOG; plan. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
