+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+                    GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 19 November 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.
+
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
+get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
+of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
+specific requirements.
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see

-## Performance Notes

-The history and Saved pages use client-side filtering: when you type in the
-search box, the UI fetches the most recent 100 pastes (`limit=100`, the API
-maximum) once per query and filters/sorts them in the browser. Pastes beyond
-the newest 100 are not searched; a match count against the full total is still
-shown. This keeps search instant without a server-side query. If large
-instances need full search later, it will be a server-side endpoint (see
-issue #32).

-# Attachments & Storage Backend Design (#38, #31)
-
-Status: research/design, no implementation. Consumers: paste cans (#4).
-
-## Part A — Attachments: S3/MinIO vs filesystem-on-volume (#38)
-
-### Options
-
-**Option 1: Filesystem on the k3s PVC (current 5Gi volume).**
-Store blobs under `<data-dir>/attachments/<paste-id>/<n>-<sha256-8>`, metadata in SQLite (paste_id, filename, size, sha256, mime, created_at).
-
- Pros: zero new infra, zero new credentials, trivial backup (the volume backup job already covers the DB), atomic rename on write, works in dev and prod identically.
- Cons: volume is size-capped (5Gi today; resizable but bounded); serving large files passes through the app process (no ranged-GET offload); multi-replica later would need RWX volume.
-
-**Option 2: MinIO via S3 API.**
-MinIO is already proven in this homelab (Outline). Store at key `<paste-id>/<n>`; same SQLite metadata row.
-
- Pros: effectively unbounded capacity, presigned URLs (direct browser download, offloads serving from palette pods), ranged requests free, lifecycle rules could auto-expire orphaned objects.
- Cons: another credential/secret to manage, another failure mode, MultipartForm still terminates at the palette pod (MinIO only helps *serving*, not *uploading*, unless we do presigned uploads — which breaks the cans multipart flow and the auth/unlock checks), backup now spans two systems.
-
-### Key considerations
-
- **Upload path is the same either way.** Palette receives `multipart/form-data` (cans need text items + file drops in one request), must enforce auth/password/burn rules server-side. A filesystem backend adds no upload complexity; S3 adds an extra hop (buffer → PUT to MinIO). Streaming straight from `multipart.Reader` to the sink works for both (`io.Copy` to a temp file, or to an S3 PUT with `Content-Length` known or multipart buffering).
- **Size limits.** Everything is admin-tunable via the settings API (#40 pattern) — add `max_attachment_bytes` (default 10 MiB, hard server-side cap checked *before* reading the body via `Content-Length`, plus a counted reader during copy so chunked uploads can't lie). SQLite itself is not a constraint either way; the PVC is the real cap for Option 1.
- **MIME handling.** Security-critical (pentest #34 already fixed a content-type XSS on `/raw`). Rules:
-  - Never trust the client-declared Content-Type. Sniff the first 512 bytes (`http.DetectContentType`), intersect with an allowlist.
-  - Serve from a dedicated route (`/{id}/a/{n}`) with `Content-Type` from the stored *sniffed* type, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `Content-Security-Policy: sandbox`, `Content-Disposition: attachment` unless the type is on a safe-inline allowlist (text/plain, images, PDF at user opt-in).
-  - Never render user HTML/SVG inline (`image/svg+xml` is XSS-capable — serve as `attachment` always, or store sanitized).
- **Streaming & serving.**
-  - Filesystem: `http.ServeContent` on the opened file gives ranged GETs, ETag, Last-Modified for free.
-  - MinIO: proxy via `GetObject` + `io.Copy` (simple, keeps auth checks in palette) or presigned GET (faster, but URL embeds credentials-temporarily and bypasses palette's per-request auth — wrong for pastes with passwords/burn semantics). Given cans inherit password/burn parity (#4), **proxying is required, which erodes MinIO's main serving advantage**.
- **Lifecycle parity.** Attachments must honor soft-delete grace and sweep: sweeper hard-delete also removes blobs (files: `os.Remove`; S3: `DeleteObject`), best-effort with logging; orphan sweep job compares DB rows to store contents.
-
-### Recommendation
-
-**Filesystem-on-volume first.** At current scale (single replica, PVC-based deploy, one user + homelab traffic) it is simpler end-to-end and keeps serving/auth/lifecycle in one place. The internal API should be a narrow blob interface (`Put(ctx, key, r io.Reader, size int64) / Open(key) / Delete(key)`) — about 60 lines per backend — so **MinIO becomes a drop-in later** if attachments outgrow the volume. That's the honest middle path: filesystem default, S3-ready seam, no MinIO dependency until it pays for itself.
-
-## Part B — SQLite vs Postgres vs Redis (#31)
-
-### Assessment of SQLite at pastebin scale
-
- **Driver**: modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go, no cgo) — slightly slower than mattn/go-sqlite3 but fine; single-writer semantics are the real constraint, not driver speed.
- **Access pattern**: paste-heavy, write-rare/read-often; primary keys and small set of indexes (visibility+created, expires, deleted); no joins beyond can items. This is SQLite's best case.
- **WAL mode** is already on (`journal_mode(WAL), busy_timeout(5000)`) — concurrent readers don't block the single writer.
- **Numbers**: SQLite comfortably handles millions of rows and hundreds of reads/sec; WAL write throughput is thousands of small inserts/sec. A pastebin doing even 100k pastes (avg 10 KB = ~1 GB DB) is trivial. Reads: prepared `WHERE id=?` lookups at this size are sub-millisecond.
- **Weak points to watch** (document, none urgent):
-  1. Single writer — heavy concurrent create traffic serializes. Mitigation: already rate-limited (#2); fine until that's the bottleneck (unlikely).
-  2. `LENGTH(content)` on every list row — fine now; if it shows up in profiling, store `size` as a column (schema already has a `Size` field; list queries could use it).
-  3. Sweeper runs a table-wide `UPDATE`+`DELETE` on tick — indexed, fine.
-  4. No network access to the DB file — locks palette to single-replica. Acceptable: current deploy is one replica.
- **Redis is the wrong tool** here: it's a cache/queue, not a system of record. Pastes are durable data with expiry semantics already implemented in SQLite. Redis would only add an optional read-cache layer for hot pastes — pure complexity for zero measured need.
-
-### Should we build a backend abstraction (SQLite default, optional Postgres)?
-
-Arguments for: multi-replica scaling later; "docker image env choice" sounds nice; Postgres gives real concurrency and network access.
-Arguments against: a `Store` interface covering the current query surface is a real refactor (sqlite-flavored SQL: `INSERT OR IGNORE`-style upserts, partial indexes, `?` placeholders are compatible but behaviors differ — e.g. `sqlite` driver pragmas, transaction isolation, `AUTOINCREMENT` semantics); two backends means two test matrices and two migration paths forever; and there is **no current need** — single replica, single writer, modest data.
-
-**Recommendation: stay SQLite-only. Do not build the abstraction now.**
-Specifically:
-
-1. Keep all persistence behind `internal/store` (already done in #35 — the package boundary *is* the abstraction, at zero cost).
-2. Avoid SQLite-specific SQL going forward where free (standard placeholders, no `RETURNING` quirks) — cheap discipline that keeps a future port honest.
-3. Define the trigger conditions for revisiting, and write them down:
-   - multiple replicas needed (scale-out), or
-   - sustained WAL write contention (busy timeouts observed in logs), or
-   - DB file > ~5-10 GB, or
-   - a concrete user request for a Postgres-backed image.
-4. When a trigger fires, port `internal/store` to Postgres behind an interface extracted *then* — the refactor is mechanical against a real need, instead of speculative complexity now.
-5. For the docker image: `PALETTE_DB_PATH` env already implies the deployment choice; no extra backend knob needed.

-## Summary
-
-| Decision | Choice |
-|---|---|
-| Attachment backend | Filesystem on PVC, behind a ~3-method blob interface; MinIO as a later drop-in, not a dependency |
-| Size limits | `max_attachment_bytes` admin setting, default 10 MiB, enforced pre-read + during stream |
-| MIME | Server-side sniff (512 bytes) + allowlist; `nosniff`, CSP `sandbox`, `Content-Disposition: attachment` except safe-inline types; SVG never inline |
-| Database | SQLite (WAL, modernc) only; no Postgres/Redis, no backend abstraction until a written trigger fires |

-# Design: Cookie-Based Preferences and Access Keys (#30)
-
-Status: design note — no implementation yet.
-Related: #37 (vwr viewer cookie), #34 (HMAC unlock cookie), #26 (creator auto-unlock), #36 (settings gear).
-
-## Current cookie surface
-
-| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime | Flags today |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `vwr` | Anonymous viewer id; scopes `/mine` history and burn-after-N per-viewer dedupe; client-sent `vwr` also authorizes delete | 1 year | `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Lax`, `Path=/` |
-| `pw_<id>` | Per-paste password unlock token = HMAC(paste id, PALETTE_UNLOCK_SECRET) | 1 hour | `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Lax`, `Path=/` |
-| `tok_<id>` | One-time deletion-token handoff after create | 60 s | `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Lax`, `Path=/` |
-
-The access-key feature is an extension of the `pw_<id>` pattern, not a new mechanism.
-
-## Part 1: Preference storage
-
-### What settings
-
-Only settings the *creator* sets when writing a paste, so the "new paste" form
-can pre-fill them:
-
- Default language (`lang`)
- Default expiry (`expires_in` / custom expiry)
- Burn-after-N-reads default
- Password-protect-by-default toggle (checkbox pre-checked; the password itself is never stored)
- Default visibility of the "raw" link, if such a toggle exists
- Collapsed/expanded state of the settings gear panel itself
-
-Never stored in cookies: passwords, access keys for pastes the user hasn't
-unlocked, deletion tokens (beyond the existing 60 s `tok_` handoff), anything
-typed into the paste body or title fields (existing rule: auto-detect must not
-overwrite user-typed content).
-
-### One cookie, not many
-
-A single `prefs` cookie holding a compact JSON object:
-
-```
-prefs={"lang":"go","exp":"1h","burn":0,"pw":1}
-```
-
- One cookie avoids the browser per-domain cookie count (typically 50+ per
-  domain; Chrome 180) eating the budget that per-paste access-key cookies need.
- Per-paste cookies (`pw_<id>`) are inherently name-per-paste and cannot be
-  consolidated — that's the constraint that makes a single `prefs` cookie
-  mandatory rather than stylistic.
-
-### Size limits
-
- RFC 6265: user agents SHOULD support at least 4096 bytes per cookie. Keep
-  `prefs` under 256 bytes of JSON — it holds a handful of short enum values.
- Server behavior: if the cookie is present but oversized/invalid JSON, ignore
-  it silently and serve defaults. Never reject a request over a bad preference
-  cookie.
- Validate on the server (allowlist of known values); a cookie is untrusted
-  input like any header.
-
-### Flags
-
-`HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=31536000; Secure` (Secure once the
-prod instance serves HTTPS — it will, behind the letsencrypt IngressRoute;
-dev on plain HTTP needs the flag conditional on config).
-
-Preferences are not sensitive, but `HttpOnly` costs nothing and keeps script
-from mutating them; `SameSite=Lax` matches the existing cookies.
-
-## Part 2: Access-key cookies
-
-### Goal
-
-"Remember unlocked pastes on this browser" — after entering a password (or
-after creating a private paste), subsequent visits skip the unlock form. This
-extends `pw_<id>` from a 1-hour session convenience to a durable capability.
-
-### Design: extend `pw_<id>`, don't invent a new scheme
-
-The token is already HMAC(paste id, PALETTE_UNLOCK_SECRET) — unforgeable and
-per-paste (fix for the #34 bypass). Changes:
-
-1. **Opt-in checkbox on the unlock form** ("remember on this browser") and a
-   matching checkbox/note at creation time. Default OFF. Non-consenting
-   visitors keep the current 1-hour cookie.
-2. **Extended lifetime** when opted in: `Max-Age = min(paste expiry, 90 days)`.
-   The cookie must never outlive the paste — derive the cap from the paste's
-   `ExpiresAt` at unlock time. Burn-after-N pastes: cap short (e.g. 24 h),
-   since the paste may burn at any read.
-3. **Name collision**: paste ids are fixed-length server-generated, so
-   `pw_<id>` names stay bounded (~40 bytes each). With the 50-cookies-per-
-   domain budget, cap remembered pastes at ~30: when minting the 31st, drop
-   the oldest expired-paste cookies server-side (server knows which ids are
-   expired/deleted; send expired `Set-Cookie` with `Max-Age=0` to reclaim).
-4. **Delete authorization interplay**: today a client-sent `vwr` matching the
-   paste's ViewerID authorizes delete. Access-key cookies grant *read*
-   capability only. Do not let a `pw_<id>` cookie authorize deletion — that
-   would mean cookie theft escalates from "read a paste" to "destroy it".
-   Delete stays bound to `vwr` or the deletion token.
-
-### Scoping
-
- Keep `Path=/` (paste URLs are `/{id}` at the root; per-paste `Path=/{id}`
-  would work but saves nothing and complicates cleanup).
- Per-paste scope via the cookie *name* is the existing, tested pattern —
-  no shared "access key ring" cookie. A consolidated `keys` cookie would
-  mean one stolen cookie exposes every remembered paste at once.
-
-## Part 3: Security considerations (honest accounting)
-
- **XSS exfiltration**: `HttpOnly` prevents JS from *reading* the cookies, but
-  not from *using* them — an XSS payload can simply `fetch('/<paste-id>')` and
-  exfiltrate the content through the page the cookie unlocks. HttpOnly raises
-  the bar (drive-by script can't dump the jar to an attacker server in one
-  request), it does not make access-key cookies safe. This is a real
-  limitation, not a solved problem. Mitigations in order of value:
-  1. Fix the stored-XSS class at the source — #34 already allowlisted
-     content-types on `/raw`; the standing debt items (CSP, X-Frame-Options,
-     Referrer-Policy) directly reduce cookie-use exfiltration and should land
-     before or with this feature.
-  2. Keep access-key cookies opt-in, so the blast radius is bounded to users
-     who accepted the tradeoff.
- **Cookie theft = paste access**: anyone holding `pw_<id>` can read that
-  paste until the cookie or paste expires, from any machine. That is inherent
-  to capability cookies. Consequences accepted deliberately: pastes here are
-  ephemeral (1 min–1 yr expiry), passwords are low-stakes share convenience,
-  and there are no user accounts to compromise. Document this in the UI copy
-  ("stores unlock access on this browser").
- **Shared machines**: a remembered cookie defeats the password for the next
-  user of the browser. The opt-in checkbox with plain-language copy is the
-  mitigation; do not default it on.
- **Cookie tossing / fixation**: a subdomain attacker could try to force
-  cookies; palette is a single host, no untrusted subdomains. `SameSite=Lax`
-  blocks cross-site attachment of the cookies on form posts to unlock
-  endpoints.
- **Multi-instance / secret rotation**: tokens are HMACs under
-  `PALETTE_UNLOCK_SECRET`; rotating the secret silently invalidates all
-  remembered cookies (acceptable — next visit re-prompts). Both dev and prod
-  k3s instances need the same secret only if sharing a domain, which they do
-  not.
- **Preferences cookie**: not security-sensitive, but still validate/allowlist
-  server-side to avoid it becoming an injection sink into templates.
-
-## Recommendation
-
-Implement in two small, separately reviewable pieces:
-
-1. **`prefs` cookie** (do first, low risk): single JSON cookie < 256 bytes,
-   server-validated allowlist, `HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Max-Age=1y`, drives
-   only form pre-fill. Ship with #36's settings gear.
-2. **Extended `pw_<id>` opt-in** (second, security-sensitive): opt-in checkbox,
-   Max-Age capped by paste expiry (90-day ceiling, 24 h for burn pastes),
-   oldest-cookie eviction at ~30 pastes, no delete authorization from access
-   cookies, and land the CSP/X-Frame-Options hardening debt from #34 in the
-   same or preceding change. UI copy must disclose that the cookie preserves
-   paste access on the browser.
-
-Rejected alternatives: single consolidated access-key cookie (aggregate theft
-risk, and the per-domain cookie-count argument cuts the other way for keys —
-consolidation maximizes what one stolen cookie unlocks); localStorage for
-preferences (XSS-readable, no benefit over HttpOnly cookies here); server-side
-accounts/session table (out of scope — Palette is deliberately anonymous).

-# Design: Optional client-side E2E encryption for pastes and files
-
- **Issue:** #39
- **Status:** Design (no implementation in this PR)
- **Related docs:** [docs/API.md](../API.md)
-
-## 1. Goals and non-goals
-
-**Goals**
-
- Let any paste (or can item) be stored server-side as ciphertext only.
- Zero plaintext knowledge by the server: storage, logs, backups, DB dumps contain no readable content.
- Pure browser implementation using WebCrypto; no new server dependencies.
- Encrypted pastes must still work with expiry, hard/soft delete, deletion tokens, visibility, slugs, rate limits.
-
-**Non-goals (v1)**
-
- Anonymous, account-less E2E; Palette stays server-trusting with browser cookies.
- Sharing via link fragments (`#key`) is optional sugar, not a required transport.
- Search *of encrypted content*, server-side language detection, or server-side highlighting on encrypted pastes — these are structurally impossible and out of scope (see §5).
- Signing, deniability, forward secrecy across pastes, PFS, post-quantum crypto.
-
-**Threat model (explicit).** This protects against a *passive server compromise* — a DB dump, backup leak, or disk image of the server's SQLite file. It does **not** protect against:
-
- A fully malicious / compromised Palette server serving backdoored JavaScript: any JS-delivered crypto can be backdoored (key exfiltration via JS) regardless of primitives. This is the fundamental limit of a JS-in-browser E2E scheme.
- Malware on the viewer's device, or shoulder-surfing of the password.
- Traffic analysis, timing, or metadata (title, size, expiry, IP, viewer cookie).
- A attacker who compromises the server *while the creator's browser is open* and alters JS before encrypt.
-
-Be explicit in user-facing copy: "encrypted at rest; the server cannot read your paste" is accurate — "the server can never see your paste" is not.
-
-## 2. Crypto primitives and flow
-
-### 2.1 Recommended parameters
-
-| Parameter | Recommendation | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| Cipher | **AES-256-GCM** | `AES-GCM` with a 256-bit key, per-paste random 96-bit IV/nonce. WebCrypto built-in, hardware-accelerated, authenticated. |
-| KDF | **PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA-256** | 600,000 iterations (OWASP 2023+ recommendation), 16-byte random salt. |
-| Argon2id | **Not in v1** | WebCrypto has no Argon2id; a JS/WASM Argon2 implementation is an extra supply-chain dependency and is an asymmetric liability: a script the server could swap can't be load-bearing for security anyway. Add later via `argon2id` WASM with SRI pinning + CSP (`script-src 'self'`) if needed. |
-| Salt | 16 random bytes per paste, stored in the clear alongside ciphertext | Unique per paste, never reused. |
-| IV | 12 random bytes per encryption | With ~2^32 encryptions per key this is negligible; each paste has its own key anyway. |
-| Key check value | See §2.2 | Catches wrong passwords without a server round-trip and prevents trash writes. |
-
-### 2.2 Flow (create)
-
-1. User checks "Encrypt" and enters an encryption passphrase (distinct from any access password) in `/new`.
-2. Browser generates `salt` (16 B) and `iv` (12 B) via `crypto.getRandomValues`.
-3. `crypto.subtle.importKey("raw", passphrase, "PBKDF2", false, ["deriveKey"])` →
-   `crypto.subtle.deriveKey(PBKDF2-SHA-256, 600k iterations, salt, {name:"AES-GCM", length:256}, false, ["encrypt","decrypt"])`.
-4. Generate a 32-byte random **DEK** (`crypto.getRandomValues(32)`).
-5. Content encryption key check: `iv_ckv`, `encrypted_content = AES-GCM-256(DEK, iv, content)`.
-6. **Key check value (KCV):** compute `AES-GCM-DEK(random 16 bytes)` — a small token encrypted *under the DEK*, stored as `key_check` blob. This is decrypted with the derived key; on wrong password GCM auth fails and the client can show "wrong key" without asking the server to burn a read.
-7. Wrap the DEK with the KEK: `wrapped_dek = AES-GCM(KEK, iv_wrap, dek)`.
-8. The stored envelope format:
-   ```
-   {
-     v: 1, kdf: "PBKDF2-SHA256", iterations: 600000, salt_b64, iv_b64,
-     kdf_salt_b64, wrap_iv_b64, wrapped_dek_b64, key_check_b64, ciphertext_b64
-   ```
-   The `v` field allows migrating to Argon2id later without a breaking change.
-8. POST the envelope (base64) as `content`, with an `encryption` metadata object alongside (see §3.1).
-
-### 2.3 Flow (view)
-
-1. User provides the passphrase via form field, or the key arrives in the URL `#fragment`. The encryption passphrase is a separate field from any access password.
-2. Fetch `/api/pastes/{id}` (with access password in the usual field if the paste is also password-gated).
-3. Derive KEK from passphrase+salt, unwrap DEK via key_check / unwrap step.
-4. Decrypt content with the DEK; on `OperationError` → "wrong passphrase" UI state (retries are client-side only; no re-fetch, so no extra burn-after-read charge).
-5. Language detection happens client-side (e.g. highlight.js auto-detect) on the decrypted plaintext.
-
-### §2.4 File and can items
-
-Files in cans: encrypt each file with its own DEK and store the same envelope. Cans' `json_items` content fields each carry their own envelope. Files keep their mime type in cleartext metadata; only the bytes are encrypted. The can's title stays plaintext (unless the whole can is encrypted, v2).
-
-## 3. API shapes
-
-### 3.1 Create request
-
-Existing fields unchanged. New optional `encryption` object:
-
-```json
-POST /api/pastes
-{
-  "content": "<base64 envelope>",
-  "encryption": {"v": 1, "kdf": "PBKDF2-SHA256", "iterations": 600000,
-                 "salt": "b64", "iv": "b64", "key_check": "b64"}
-}
-```
-
-`encryption` is non-secret KDF metadata for UI display; the server treats `content` as opaque bytes and MUST NOT inspect it for encrypted pastes (no detection, no highlighting prep, no search indexing) — enforced where content is written, not per-handler.
-
-The full envelope can also just live inside `content` (server-opaque); the `encryption` object carries only non-secret KDF metadata the list views need (e.g. to show a 🔒 icon).
-
-### 3.2 Create response
-
-Unchanged shape: `id`, `url`, `raw_url`, `api_url`, and the one-time `deletion_token` documented in docs/API.md.
-
-### 3.3 Get response
-
-`GET /api/pastes/{id}` response gains:
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "abc123",
-  "content": "BASE64_ENVELOPE",
-  "encryption": {"v":1, "kdf": "PBKDF2-SHA256", "iterations": 601570, "salt": "b64", "iv": "base64", "key_check": "b64"},
-  "reads_remaining": null
-}
-```
-
-`language` is `"encrypted"` or `null` so clients don't run detection on ciphertext. `raw_url` also serves the envelope; the `/{id}` page ships it to the browser, which decrypts in place.
-
-### 3.4 Raw endpoint
-
-`GET /raw/{id}` returns the envelope as `application/octet-stream` with a suggested filename like `{id}.e2e.txt` and `Content-Disposition: attachment`. This is deliberate: a "download encrypted blob" is what a non-browser client can do with it anyway.
-
-### 3.5 List views / mine / public
-
-List endpoints return `has_encryption: true` instead of content; show a lock icon. Do not include ciphertext in list responses (size, and no reason to ship ciphertext to every viewer's list view) — `GET /api/pastes/{id}` remains the only endpoint that returns the envelope.
-
-`/api/mine` (creator's own browser) may include the envelope for convenience; `/api/public` returns metadata only.
-
-`/api/guess-language` rejects encrypted content with `400 "content is client-encrypted"` — detection needs plaintext; clients detect after decrypting.
-
-Delete, redeem, rate limits, expiry, sweeper, deletion tokens, visibility, slugs, and can CRUD are unchanged — the server never inspects content for these, so opaque content is a no-op path.
-
-## 4. Interplay with existing features
-
-| Feature | Impact | Mitigation |
-| Burn-after-read | Budget is charged on fetch, exactly as today; the server cannot know whether decryption succeeded, so a viewer fetching with the wrong key burns a read they can't use. | Decrypt retries are client-side, so only the first fetch charges the budget. Clear UX copy. |
-| Password-protected + encrypted | Both can coexist and are independent: the access password is an HTTP 401 gate; the encryption passphrase never leaves the browser. If both are set, all three secrets are needed (URL + access password + passphrase). Warn if the user enters the same value in both fields. |
-| Encryption-only pastes | Supported with no access password: URL + passphrase (or fragment key). Default is passphrase; fragment key is opt-in with a warning. |
-| Search | Structurally impossible over ciphertext. Server search just skips encrypted pastes; client-side search within a single decrypted paste works fine. No global encrypted-content search — accept the loss, document it. |
-| Language detection / highlighting | Server-side detection/highlighting impossible; returns `language: null`. Client-side detection via highlight.js auto-detect on decrypted plaintext (client already loads it for password gate pages). |
-| Cans/files | Per-item envelopes (own DEK each), per §2.4. | Consider a can-level KEK (one passphrase unlocks all items). |
-| Expiry/sweeper/delete/redeem | Unchanged — server never inspects content for these. |
-| List views (`/api/public`, `/api/mine`) | Additive `has_encryption: true` flag; list responses do not include ciphertext (`/api/mine` may include the envelope for the creator's own convenience). |
-| guess-language endpoint | Reject with 400. |
-| Fork / edit | Re-encryption needs the passphrase in the browser; v1 disables forking encrypted pastes. | Document the limitation. |
-
-## 5. What breaks, stated plainly
-
- **Search across encrypted pastes: impossible.** Accept the loss. (If ever needed, client-side index in IndexedDB for the creator's own pastes — v2+.)
- IndexedDB only helps the creator, not other viewers; still not global search. Accept the loss.
- **Server-side language detection and highlighting: impossible.** Client-side detection on decrypted plaintext. Server returns `language: null` and the client detects.
- **Burn-after-read is weakened in one specific way:** the budget is counted on fetch, not on successful decryption. A viewer who fetches but can't decrypt (wrong/lost key) burns a read they can't use. Mitigations documented in §4 table. The server can still count fetches (which is what burn-after-read actually is, even today: it counts fetches, not "reads" in any content-aware sense). So burn-after-read still works — it counts fetches — it's just that a failed decryption still consumes budget. This is acceptable and just needs UX copy. Optionally: don't decrement on failed decryption is *not possible* the server can't tell, so it's fetch-based, period. (It already is today.)
- **Raw endpoint semantics change:** `/raw/{id}` can no longer serve readable raw text. It serves the ciphertext envelope. Scripts that curl raw pastes will get base64 envelope instead of text. Document as a breaking-ish change for encrypted pastes only; unencrypted pastes unchanged.
- **Existing /api/mine, /api/public list shapes gain a flag** (additive, non-breaking).
- **Copy-to-clipboard of decrypted text stays client-side**, fine. "Copy raw" on an encrypted paste copies the envelope — label it clearly.
-
-## 5. UX for key sharing
-### 5.1 Three sharing modes
-
-| Mode | What's shared | Security level | Use case |
-|---|---| malformed JSON / wrong key | | |
-| Mode | What's shared | Strength | Use case |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| **Passphrase** (default) | URL + passphrase out-of-band (Signal etc.) | Good — two channels | Team snippets, sensitive configs |
-| **Passphrase + access password** | URL + access password (401 gate) + passphrase | Strong — two secrets, two channels | Highest sensitivity |
-| **Random key in `#fragment`** | URL containing `#key=<b64>` | Weak — single channel; anyone with the full URL has both parts. Copy/paste into chat defeats it entirely. | One-click convenience sharing |
-
-Browsers never transmit `#` fragments to servers; still set `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` site-wide and offer separate copy buttons for URL and key. Key-in-fragment ships with a warning and stays opt-in.
-
-### 5.2 Create page (`/new`) UX
-
- "Encrypt content" toggle → reveals passphrase field + strength meter + generate-random-key button.
- When encrypting, hide the server-side language dropdown; the client detects language after decryption.
- Two separate inputs with distinct labels: "Access password (checked by the server, 401 gate)" and "Encryption passphrase (never leaves your browser)". If both hold the same value, warn.
-
-### 6.2 View page (`/{id}`) UX
-
- If `encryption.kdf` is present → show key entry UI (after the access-password 401 gate, if that also applies).
- After decrypt: normal render pipeline, language detected client-side.
- "Wrong passphrase" retries never re-fetch, so they never burn extra reads.
-
-## 7. Backwards compatibility and migration
-
- Additive JSON fields only; unencrypted pastes behave identically. No schema changes (envelope is stored in the existing content column/TEXT; verify column size allows envelope overhead (~2× base64 + ~200 B header).
- Server-side validation of encrypted pastes: only structural checks (base64 decodes, size ≤ max bytes). No crypto in the server.
-
-**Server implementation cost is genuinely small** (est. 2-4 days): pass through content untouched, add `encryption` metadata column or embed in content, skip detection/indexing when `encryption` is present, list flag. The server never does crypto. All crypto is client-side JS (~150-300 lines, no build-step change if using WebCrypto alone).
-
-**Argon2id later:** add `kdf: "argon2id"` to the envelope `v: 1` (m=64 MiB, t=3, p=1) via a SRI-pinned WASM module, with CSP `script-src 'self'` + SRI on the script tag. Envelope `v` field already allows this.
-
-## 8. Recommendation
-
-**Build it, as an opt-in checkbox, passphrase mode only in v1.**
-
- Server cost is small (pass-through + skip detection/indexing + list flag), client cost moderate (WebCrypto only, no new deps).
- It closes the biggest real-world risk for a public pastebin: a DB/backup leak exposing every paste ever written.
- Skip Argon2id in v1; envelope `v` field provides a migration path.
- Key-in-fragment mode: build the plumbing (fragment parsing) but hide behind "advanced"; default remains passphrase.
-
-**Do not build:** server-side search over encrypted content, server-side highlighting of encrypted content, decrypt-on-server "preview" mode, or any server-side crypto.
-
-## 9. Open questions
-
-1. Size limits: base64 expansion (~4/3×) plus ~200 B envelope overhead; the existing max-bytes / 413 limit applies to the envelope bytes the server stores. Do not compress before encrypting (CRIME-style weaknesses).
-2. Fork/edit of encrypted pastes: disabled in v1, revisit.
-3. Should `/api/mine` include the full envelope in list view? Leaning yes (creator's own browser can decrypt); note the larger payload.
-4. Should there be a "verify passphrase" second field at create time (type-twice), or rely on the KCV check at view time? KCV at view time suffices; type-twice adds friction at create. Rely on KCV, skip type-twice.
-5. CSP/Referrer-Policy hardening: `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` site-wide is worth doing regardless of this feature (it also benefits unencrypted pastes).
-6. Cans: per-item DEKs wrapped by a single can-level KEK (one passphrase unlocks all items) — better UX, slightly more envelope design work. Defer detail to implementation.
-
-## 10. Alternatives considered
-
-| Alternative | Why not in v1 |
-|---|---|
-| Argon2id via WASM in v1 | Extra JS dependency the server could swap → can't be load-bearing; PBKDF2-600k is adequate for a pastebin. Defer. |
-| Server holds half a key (2-of-2 with server-held share) | Re-introduces server trust; defeats the purpose. |
-| age-format envelopes | Nice CLI interop but no WebCrypto-native support; adds a JS dependency. Defer. |
-| PGP / S-MIME | Poor browser UX; heavy dependencies. |
-| Server-side encryption with server-held keys | Not E2E; that's "encrypted at rest", already covered by disk-level encryption. |
-| PrivateBin-style fragment key only | Single-channel sharing is a footgun; keep passphrase as default. |
-| libsodium / tweetnacl | Solid but unnecessary; WebCrypto covers AES-GCM + PBKDF2 natively. |
