Ullrich Schäfer 66fb5d3044 Archive relocate-brouter-to-dedicated-host
Final step (task 9.4) of the BRouter relocation. The change is moved to
openspec/changes/archive/2026-04-24-relocate-brouter-to-dedicated-host/
and the four delta specs (brouter-integration, infrastructure,
observability, security-hardening) are merged into the main specs:

  + 6 added requirements
  ~ 4 modified requirements

The two intentionally-unchecked tasks are 2.2 (obsoleted, see crossed-out
note) and 9.4 itself (this archive).

## Purpose
Security headers, scanner path blocking, secret scanning, dependency auditing, non-root containers, and vulnerability disclosure policy.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Security response headers
All HTTP responses SHALL include security headers to protect against common web attacks.
#### Scenario: HSTS header
- **WHEN** a browser receives a response from trails.cool
- **THEN** the response includes `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload`
#### Scenario: Content sniffing prevention
- **WHEN** a browser receives a response
- **THEN** the response includes `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
#### Scenario: Clickjacking prevention
- **WHEN** a browser receives a response
- **THEN** the response includes `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
### Requirement: Scanner path blocking
Known vulnerability scanner paths SHALL be blocked at the reverse proxy level before reaching the application.
#### Scenario: Env file scanner
- **WHEN** a request is made to `/.env`, `/.env.local`, `/.env.prod`, or similar paths
- **THEN** Caddy returns 403 without forwarding to the application
#### Scenario: Git config scanner
- **WHEN** a request is made to `/.git/config` or `/.git/HEAD`
- **THEN** Caddy returns 403 without forwarding to the application
### Requirement: Secret scanning in CI
The CI pipeline SHALL scan commits for accidentally committed secrets.
#### Scenario: Secret detected
- **WHEN** a PR contains a committed API key, token, or password
- **THEN** the CI pipeline fails with a clear message indicating the leaked secret
#### Scenario: Known public values allowed
- **WHEN** a known-public value (e.g., Sentry DSN) is committed
- **THEN** gitleaks allows it via the `.gitleaks.toml` allowlist
### Requirement: Dependency vulnerability scanning
The CI pipeline SHALL check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies.
#### Scenario: High severity vulnerability
- **WHEN** a dependency has a high or critical vulnerability advisory
- **THEN** the CI pipeline fails
### Requirement: Non-root Docker containers
Application containers SHALL run as a non-root user.
#### Scenario: Container user
- **WHEN** a container starts
- **THEN** the process runs as a non-root user (not UID 0)
### Requirement: Vulnerability disclosure policy
The repository SHALL include a SECURITY.md with responsible disclosure instructions.
#### Scenario: Security contact
- **WHEN** a security researcher finds a vulnerability
- **THEN** SECURITY.md provides clear instructions for reporting it
### Requirement: BRouter access control
The BRouter service SHALL be reachable only from the flagship host over a private Hetzner vSwitch, and every request SHALL carry a valid `X-BRouter-Auth` shared-secret header. The token SHALL be stored only in SOPS-encrypted secrets and GitHub Actions secrets, never committed in cleartext.
#### Scenario: Request from public internet
- **WHEN** an attacker sends a request to the BRouter host's public IP on the BRouter service port
- **THEN** the host firewall refuses the connection
#### Scenario: Request from vSwitch without token
- **WHEN** a request arrives on the BRouter host over the vSwitch without a valid `X-BRouter-Auth` header
- **THEN** the Caddy sidecar responds with HTTP 403 and BRouter never sees the request
#### Scenario: Token storage
- **WHEN** `BROUTER_AUTH_TOKEN` is added or rotated
- **THEN** the token is written only to `infrastructure/secrets.infra.env` (SOPS-encrypted) and to the GitHub Actions secret store, and is never committed in cleartext to the repository
#### Scenario: Token rotation
- **WHEN** the token is rotated
- **THEN** operators update SOPS, redeploy the Planner (new token in outbound header), and redeploy the Caddy sidecar (new token in the matcher), in that order, with zero downtime
