server.py + config.py CVE-NEW-6 (MED): introduces CAULDRON_TRUSTED_PROXIES
CIDR-list env var and a _StripUntrustedForwardedHeaders WSGI middleware
that wraps the outside of ProxyFix. Behavior:
- empty list (default, dev/LAN) → ProxyFix is NOT enabled, AND
incoming X-Forwarded-* / Forwarded headers are stripped from
every request. Even on a LAN HTTP deploy nobody can spoof
request.is_secure / request.host downstream.
- non-empty list (e.g. 192.168.50.1/32 for rackham over WireGuard)
→ strip middleware drops X-Forwarded-* unless REMOTE_ADDR is in
a listed CIDR; ProxyFix then trusts the surviving headers.
Closes the audit's concern that the prior `if cfg.behind_tls: ProxyFix`
trusted X-Forwarded-* from any peer that could reach :7790 — sibling
containers on the sulkta docker network could spoof scheme/host since
gunicorn binds 0.0.0.0:7790 and Docker bridges resolve container DNS
internally. The trust anchor is now the peer IP, not just the hostname
the request claims to come from.
Decoupling trusted_proxies from behind_tls also handles deploy shapes
where TLS is terminated by something that doesn't forward X-Forwarded-*
(SSL passthrough, etc).
server.py CODE-4 (MED, doc-only): added docstring on
current_household_id() declaring it the canonical hid source for
session-auth routes. Admin-bearer endpoints legitimately derive hid
from started_by_sub (the bearer is the trust anchor); session-auth
endpoints must never accept hid from request body. No code change —
the current code already follows this convention; the docstring
prevents future drift.
enrich_recipes.py CODE-5 (MED): added an explicit progress heartbeat
between forge.enrich_recipe() and forge.verify_allergens() so a
slow allergen-verification pass on a complex recipe can't push
last_progress_at past db.fail_stuck_enrich_jobs's 15-min stale gate.
Without this, two ~3-4-min Sonnet calls back-to-back could straddle
the gate and a still-alive job would be incorrectly reaped at the
next worker restart.

cauldron
Mealie-backed AI meal planner + shopping list for the family. LAN-only,
internal tool. Mealie at recipes.sulkta.com is the source of truth for
recipes / meal plans / shopping lists; cauldron is the AI layer + Abby's
branded UI on top.
Status
v0.1 — backend bones (current). Ingredient sterilizer endpoint working. No UI yet; bearer-auth API only. Frontend + Authentik OIDC arrives in v0.2. Native Kotlin Android in v0.5.
Surface (v0.1)
GET /healthz liveness + clawdforge upstream
GET /api/recipes list Mealie recipes (paginated)
POST /api/sterilize/preview/<slug> dry-run AI parse, return proposals
POST /api/sterilize/apply/<slug> write parses back to Mealie
All routes except /healthz require Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_BEARER>.

cauldron does NOT hold its own database in v0.1 — all state lives in Mealie. A small Postgres/MariaDB schema lands in v0.2 for Abby-specific prefs + chat history.
Ingredient sterilizer
Mealie's CRF parser is mediocre. Cobb's hand-typed recipes have lots of free-form quantity strings ("about 2 cups cooked white rice", "1 small handful kale", "a pinch of salt") that don't aggregate cleanly into a shopping list.
The sterilizer batches all ingredients of one recipe into a single Sonnet call (via clawdforge), gets back parallel structured parses, then on apply links each parse to existing Mealie food/unit records (creating any missing by name) and PUTs the recipe back.
Preview is non-destructive — review proposals before apply.

Roadmap
- v0.1 ✓ — sterilizer backend + Flask shell
- v0.2 — Authentik OIDC, Abby-branded web UI, palette CSS, postgres for prefs
- v0.3 — meal plan generator (week → Mealie meal plan write)
- v0.4 — shopping list aggregator (read meal plan → consolidated grocery list)
- v0.5 — native Kotlin + Compose Android app (read-only shopping list + plan view)
