 One Go service serves the API, the auth flow, media and the PWA. Its SQLite
 database is replicated by Litestream to the NAS.
 
+Traefik terminates TLS. The service honours `X-Forwarded-For` and
+`X-Forwarded-Proto` only from peers listed in `MEALQUEST_TRUSTED_PROXY`
+(comma-separated IPs/CIDRs; production lists `10.60.1.33`); from any other
+peer they are ignored. The client is the rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` address
+that is not a trusted proxy. The resolved client IP is added as `client_ip`
+to every log line written while handling a request. The OIDC redirect URI
+and the Secure cookies are fixed by `MEALQUEST_PUBLIC_URL`, never by request
+headers, so sign-in works whichever peer the request arrives from.
