Security and operational reliability implementation plan

Goal: finish the five approved follow-ups with independently verified commits. Architecture: share comment policy between session and bearer entrypoints; opt-in same-host proxy configuration; run real news browser checks against the already-built candidate in disposable services; correlate existing diagnostics with deliveries; verify database and persistent-file backup restoration in isolation. Stack: existing Next, MariaDB, Redis, Playwright, Testcontainers and Docker; no new dependencies. Design: user-approved numbered proposal in this task, 2026-09-13.

Global constraints: preserve current public/HK UX and ACL; no production test content or proxy/firewall changes; no credentials in output; root owns Git on canonical main. Complete each block's checks before an exact-file commit and push. Confirm final CI, container publication and live release.

  1. Comments — src/actions/article-comments.ts, API comment route and shared policy/tests. Add regression cases for hidden/future articles, moderation, cross-channel limit and safe failures; reproduce them, implement, run focused and integration checks. Publicly available article predicate is checked on both entrypoints.
  2. Proxy — deployment/proxy templates and installation guide/tests. Override must survive installer/update/rollback, force loopback and replace incoming identity headers. Validate the merged Compose config and Nginx syntax; do not apply to the host.
  3. Real news — e2e/news-real runner/fixture plus ci-deploy gate and harness tests. Start only disposable MariaDB/Redis and the local candidate image; real staff login, draft, preview, publish and anonymous read. Fail before live migration/cutover on any error, clean all fixture resources. Require successful CI execution.
  4. Diagnostics — carry persisted operation/delivery identifiers into error records; link filtered deliveries and diagnostics with permission checks. Preserve request correlation separately. Tests cover exact matching, hostile IDs, permissions and retry outcomes.
  5. Recovery — backup creation and isolated restore drill for database plus explicit persistent directories. Keep credentials off argv/logs, reject unsafe paths and incomplete/tampered artifacts. Test real database restore and file checksums with disposable data, record limits for cross-service consistency. Never overwrite production during a drill.

Status: all five blocks implemented and locally checked. Required final gates: CI real database/proxy/backup suites, candidate news browser journey, deployment/container completion and live release verification. Extra scheduler deadlock discovered in the real concurrency test is fixed with bounded transaction retries. Evidence and boundaries accompany each delivered block.
