Continuing through the 2nd-pass audit findings.
dedupe_recipes.py CODE-2 (HIGH): _cluster_by_name dropped union-find
single-link agglomerative for the same pair-accumulator pattern
consolidate_foods._cluster already uses. Single-link chained weak
similarities through the recipe corpus the same way it did with foods,
producing one giant cluster on a 250+ corpus that Sonnet would refuse.
Now emits one 2-recipe pair per (i,j) above NAME_THRESHOLD.
consolidate_foods.py + dedupe_recipes.py CODE-1 (HIGH): added
in-loop cancel-poll to both _cluster passes. Polls cancel_check every
5K pair-comparisons so a user-initiated cancel can abort cleanly mid-
scan instead of waiting tens of seconds. Run-walk callers also
re-check _cancelled() right after clustering returns and bail.
server.py CVE-NEW-5 (MED): /login skips OIDC re-init when
session.get('user') exists. Closes the login-CSRF surface where a
malicious cross-origin link `<a href=…/login?next=/poison>` would
re-trigger the OIDC handshake on a logged-in user and silently change
their post-login landing.
server.py CVE-NEW-7 (LOW): Permissions-Policy now sends both
`interest-cohort=()` (FLoC, Chrome ≤94) and `browsing-topics=()`
(Topics API, Chrome ≥115) for opt-out across the lineage.
server.py CVE-NEW-8 (LOW): /auth/callback OAuthError branch no longer
echoes Authentik's raw error string to auth_retry.html. Detail is
logged server-side; users see a generic retry message. Closes the
information-disclosure on Authentik error codes.
server.py CODE-9/CODE-10 (LOW): wrapped int() of ?page= and
?per_page= in try/except so garbage args land on safe defaults
instead of surfacing ValueError as a 500.
Deferred to the rackham-vhost commit:
- CVE-NEW-6 (cauldron bind / ProxyFix trusted-peer filter) needs
paired Apache vhost config (RequestHeader unset X-Forwarded-*)
before the docker-side change is safe; landing it solo would
either break the LAN deploy or leave a half-broken trust chain.

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)
