- new crowdsec-api lib: CTI lookup (GET /smoke/{ip}, freemium x-api-key), verdict parser with false-positive veto, 1h Redis + in-memory verdict cache, NX lock dedupe, 403/429 backoff; writes only the shared antiddos:block:{ip} key (value "crowdsec") and never touches Cloudflare
- gate fires it fire-and-forget for IPs that already tripped a rate bucket, so known-bad IPs are hard-blocked before the local maxViolations threshold
- runtime config: crowdsecAutoBlock toggle, score threshold (0-5, default 4), block TTL (default 24h); boot defaults CROWDSEC_AUTO_BLOCK_ENABLED / CROWDSEC_BLOCK_SCORE / CROWDSEC_BLOCK_TTL_SECONDS
- admin panel: CrowdSec stat card, verify-connection action, score/TTL settings, CrowdSec source badge in the blocked-IPs list
- credentials live in env only (CROWDSEC_API_KEY); block is enforced per-request via proxy on the resolved X-Forwarded-For / CF-Connecting-IP
- tests: crowdsec-api unit suite + ddos-guard integration suite (early-block, threshold, cache dedupe, backoff)
- gate creates a zone IP Access Rule (block) for proxied offenders that hit the block threshold, deduped until the tiered block expires
- cloudflare-api lib: verified endpoints, create/delete/verify/list helpers, Redis-backed tracking + 30s TTL sweep (instrumentation worker + admin render)
- runtime toggle cloudflareAutoBlock in antiddos config; boot default CLOUDFLARE_AUTO_BLOCK_ENABLED
- admin panel: Cloudflare edge-blocks card with verify + remove-rule actions; unban also lifts the edge block
- credentials live in env only (CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN / CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID)
