# CURRENT AI WORKING SESSION — HANDOVER

**Active AI:** Gemini (Antigravity)
**Last Updated:** 2026-04-13
**Current Version:** v1.9.18 (CORS Sync)
**Branch:** dev

---

## STATUS: 🟢 STABLE — GENERIC CORS & CONFIG CENTRALIZATION COMPLETE

**CRITICAL FOR NEXT AI:** The CORS system has been upgraded to support `EXTRA_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` in `inventory.env`. The backend automatically expands these into full URLs (http/https across all ports).

---

## WHAT WAS DONE THIS SESSION

### 1. Generic CORS (External Access)
- **Variable**: Introduced `EXTRA_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` in `inventory.env`.
- **Backend Expansion**: Updated `backend/main.py` to automatically generate allowed origins (plain/SSL) for any IP or FQDN provided in this comma-separated list.
- **Tailscale Ready**: Pre-configured with `100.78.182.27` as requested by the user.

### 2. Configuration Centralization
- **inventory.env Updates**: Added placeholders for `GEMINI_API_KEY` and security tokens to encourage usage of a single configuration file for both local and Docker deployments.
- **Port Consistency**: Cleaned up `config/backend.env.example` to reflect the actual ports used (8916-8919).

### 3. Startup & Discovery
- **Dynamic Access Banner**: Enhanced `start_server.sh` to detect `EXTRA_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and display the corresponding Tailscale/VPN URLs at startup.

### 4. Verification
- **Test Script**: Verified the CORS expansion logic with `scratch/verify_cors.py` (deleted after use).

## WHAT THE NEXT AI MUST DO

1. **Docker Sync**: If the user experiences issues with the API key in Docker, suggest rebuilding the image or ensuring `inventory.env` is correctly mounted.
2. **Reverse Proxy**: If a more complex FQDN setup is needed, consider updating `config/Caddyfile` to handle wildcard subdomains if `EXTRA_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` list becomes too long.

## SYSTEM STATE

**Active database:** `<project_root>/data/inventory.db`
**LDAP config:** `config/ldap_config.json`
**Network config:** `inventory.env` (Now the Primary SSOT for networking)
**Proxy config:** `config/Caddyfile`

**How to start:**
```bash
./start_server.sh
```
- Local URL: `https://localhost:8919`
- LAN URL: `https://192.168.84.113:8919`
- Tailscale URL: `https://100.78.182.27:8919` (Now allowed in CORS)

✓ Done.
