How this runs
The site itself
Built, secured and measured in the open — the same way I would hand it to a team.
./audit --summary
authz every mutation re-checks the session server-side
headers CSP pins object-src, base-uri, form-action, frame-ancestors
audit every admin action and sign-in, refusals included
privacy no cookies, no third-party analytics, self-hosted fonts
The full stack, the rate limits and the privacy list are printed from the code at /colophon
