+	# There are two Caddy hops in front of the app: the HOST Caddy terminates TLS
+	# and sets X-Forwarded-Proto: https, then proxies to 127.0.0.1:8137 over plain
+	# HTTP; this LB is the second hop. Caddy only preserves an incoming
+	# X-Forwarded-* header when the immediate peer is a TRUSTED proxy — otherwise
+	# it overwrites the header with the scheme of the connection it just received,
+	# which here is http. So the app saw http:// no matter how the user arrived.
+	#
+	# accounts/oauth.py:_redirect_uri builds the callback from x-forwarded-proto,
+	# and that URI must match what is registered in the provider's console.
+	# Discord tolerates the http:// form; GOOGLE REJECTS a non-HTTPS redirect URI
+	# for a web client outright, so Google sign-in could not work at all until
+	# this was fixed — independently of whether the credentials were configured.
+	#
+	# Measured on vps2 before the fix, same request to each hop:
+	#   direct to web, XFP=https   -> https://thermograph.org/api/v2/...
+	#   through this LB, XFP=https -> http://thermograph.org/api/v2/...
+	#
+	# private_ranges covers 127.0.0.1/8 and the Docker bridge ranges, which is
+	# where the host Caddy reaches this container from. Nothing outside the box
+	# can connect here — the LB is bound to loopback precisely so it cannot be
+	# reached un-fronted (hazard #6, above) — so trusting the local peer does not
+	# widen anything: the only party that can set these headers is the host Caddy.
