Documents the forwarded-headers / trusted-proxy change from starter-kit PR #1334 (honor
X-Forwarded-*behind a reverse proxy; trust bound to a newTrustedProxyOptions).Changes
## 2026-07-13): the real-client-IP fix — why it matters (rate-limit buckets collapsing, useless audit IPs), theTrustedProxyOptionstrust model, and the action-required note (set your ingress CIDRs/hop count, secure-by-default otherwise).TrustedProxyOptions(KnownProxies/KnownNetworks/ForwardLimit) and the trust boundary, plusUseForwardedHeadersadded to the pipeline-order slice (it now runs first, right after the exception handler).X-Forwarded-ProtorequiresTrustedProxyOptions, with the config snippet and a link to the new section.No new checklist item added — the checklist stays a ten-item gate; the proxy-trust guidance lives inside the existing HTTPS item.
Depends on / pairs with starter-kit #1334.
