Follow-up to the /terminal authorization fix: a full-codebase security
review surfaced several more issues, fixed here. All changes are designed
to roll out with no interruption to existing deployments — no forced
migration, no manual re-key, no boot failure.
Self-healing secret management (utils/secrets.ts):
- JWT_SECRET / ENCRYPTION_KEY auto-generate to strong values on first boot
and persist to the app_data volume (0600, outside the DB) when not set
to a strong value in the environment. Replaces the prior behavior of
running on the public repo defaults.
- decrypt() tries the current key plus every legacy/default key, so
existing device credentials keep decrypting after a key change; a
startup sweep re-encrypts stale rows forward (db/reencryptCredentials.ts).
- verifyToken() accepts the current signing secret plus prior *strong*
secrets (never the public defaults), so rotation doesn't invalidate live
sessions; sessions signed with a default secret require one re-login.
- Dockerfile pre-creates /app/data as the app user so the non-root
process can persist to a fresh named volume; app_data volume added to
both compose files; compose secret defaults changed to empty (auto-gen).
Authorization / input:
- Default Socket.IO namespace now requires a valid JWT (was unauthenticated
and broadcasting fleet-activity events); frontend sends the token and
drops the shared socket on logout.
- Webhook delivery blocks SSRF to loopback/private/link-local/CGNAT ranges
and pins the request to the validated IP (WebhookService.ts).
- Rate limit added to /auth/totp/verify; global mutation backstop on /api.
- Password policy (>=10 chars, letter+digit) enforced on set/change/create.
- system.ts used verifyToken as middleware (always 500); now requireAuth.
Hardening:
- CSP + HSTS/nosniff/frame-deny headers in nginx, scoped to allow the
OpenStreetMap tile/geocoding hosts the maps use.
Docs/tests:
- README secret section rewritten for the self-healing model.
- New unit tests for secret resolution, persistence, rotation, and
legacy-key decryption (97 tests pass).

* devices: hide discovered neighbors that are already managed
Discovered Devices showed every unresolved MikroTik neighbor, even when
the neighbor was obviously the same device a managed node is reporting
through a different link / MAC / alias. Since we already know every
managed device interface MAC, primary IP, and system identity, we can
flag those rows.
- /api/devices/discovered now annotates each row with duplicate_of_device_id
and duplicate_of_device_name when the neighbor matches a managed device
by interface MAC, primary IP, or system identity.
- Add a Hide duplicates of managed devices toggle (default on) above the
table, with a count of how many matches were found. When enabled, the
list hides matched rows; when disabled, matches stay visible but are
dimmed and tagged Already managed so the origin is clear.
- Suppress the Add to Manager action for rows that are already a
managed device, since adding them would create a second record for the
same hardware.

* Non-blocking follow-ups: parsePort util, tests, bulk-add queue, preset rate limit

* fix(security): tighten CORS, Redis rate limits, and preset access controls
Require explicit CORS origins in production, align Socket.IO CORS with HTTP,
default Docker Compose to local HTTPS origins, and remove the in-memory
mutation limiter in favor of Redis. Also add operator-use flags for credential
presets in the UI and harden bulk-add job access and client error messages.

Squash-merge of PR #28 from @denis-ev. All three review blockers addressed: encryption key management documented, string truncation replaced with skip+warn validation, and undefined return on duplicate merge fixed with proper 500. Local test stack verified against cloned prod DB — migrations, new features, and backend all clean.
