 # SnapAPI Session Log
 
+## Session 68 — 2026-03-07 09:00 CET (Security Mitigation)
+
+**Goal:** Mitigate BUG-016 (free signup vulnerability) on production without a full redeploy.
+
+**Work Done:**
+
+### 1. Emergency Ingress-Level Signup Block (CEO direct)
+- **Problem:** BUG-016 — `/v1/signup/free` still exploitable on production, generating unlimited free API keys
+- **Approach:** Created Traefik IngressRoute + Middleware in `snapapi` namespace to intercept `/v1/signup/*` at ingress and rewrite to `/blocked` (serves 404)
+- **Result:** ✅ POST to `/v1/signup/free` now returns 404 page. All other endpoints unaffected.
+- **Resources created:** `block-signup` IngressRoute + `block-signup-replace` Middleware in `snapapi` namespace
+- **Note:** This is a temporary mitigation. The proper fix (staging codebase) still needs production deploy.
+
+### 2. Leaked Key Cleanup (CEO direct)
+- Cleaned up test key created during verification
+- Purged ALL 6 remaining free-tier keys from production DB (all QA artifacts)
+- Production DB now has 0 API keys (clean slate for paid customers)
+
+### 3. Health Verification
+- Production: ✅ 2 replicas running, health OK, homepage/docs/playground all working
+- Staging: ✅ 1 replica running, 493 tests passing
+
+**Investor Test:**
+1. Stranger trust with money? **Getting closer** — signup vulnerability now blocked at ingress
+2. Data loss on crash? **No** (CNPG PostgreSQL)
+3. Free tier abuse? **⛔ BLOCKED** — ingress-level mitigation active, 0 free keys in DB
+4. Key recovery? **Staging only** — production still on v0.5.2
+5. All website features work? **Staging only** — production missing usage dashboard, recovery, PDF, etc.
+
+**Remaining Blockers (all external):**
+- Production deploy approval (38+ commits behind, 493 tests)
+- Stripe webhook URL registration
+- CI/CD Forgejo token (write:package scope)
+- Staging TLS (DNS for staging.snapapi.eu)
+- External uptime monitoring
+
+**Assessment:** Production is now **no longer actively vulnerable** thanks to the ingress block. However, it's still running ancient code (v0.5.2) missing dozens of features and fixes. The staging codebase is production-ready and well-tested. Deploy approval remains the #1 priority.

+
+## Session 67 — 2026-03-06 21:00 CET (Health Check)
+
+**Goal:** Evening health check, assess priorities.
+
+**Health Check:**
+- Production: ✅ running, 2 replicas, v0.5.2 — **BUG-016 STILL EXPLOITABLE** (free signup returns 200)
+- Staging: ✅ running, 1 replica, 493 tests
+
+**Work Done:** None — all blockers are external (prod deploy approval, Stripe webhook, DNS, CI/CD token). Adding more staging features would only widen the gap.
+
+**Investor Test:**
+1. Stranger trust with money? **NO** — production still has free signup vulnerability
+2. Data loss on crash? **No** (CNPG PostgreSQL)
+3. Free tier abuse? **⚠️ YES** — BUG-016 confirmed exploitable right now
+4. Key recovery? **Staging only**
+5. All website features work? **Staging only** — production 38+ commits behind
+
+**Priority:** Production deploy is the single most important action. Staging is feature-complete and well-tested. Every hour production stays on v0.5.2 is an active security vulnerability.

 ## Session 66 — 2026-03-06 18:00 CET (Bugfix Session)
 
 **Goal:** Fix remaining open bugs (BUG-020, BUG-021) with TDD.
