+// Package web includes CSRF protection for /ui/* mutating endpoints.
+//
+// Mechanism: stateless double-submit cookie. A non-HttpOnly cookie carries a
+// 32-byte crypto/rand token. Every mutating request (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE)
+// must echo the same token either in the X-CSRF-Token header (used by htmx)
+// or in the _csrf form field (used by HTML forms). Comparison is
+// constant-time.
+//
+// Cookie rotation happens on every privilege transition (Login, OIDC
+// StartAuthenticatedSession, CompleteTwoFactor, Logout) — see session.go.
+//
+// Known limitations:
+//   - A compromised same-registrable-domain origin (sibling subdomain
+//     takeover) can set parent-domain cookies and forge a match.
+//     SameSite=Lax does not prevent this. This is an inherent limitation
+//     of stateless double-submit; mitigations would require server-side
+//     token storage and are out of scope for this fix.
+//   - The middleware calls r.ParseForm() for non-GET requests so the
+//     _csrf form field can be read. This is safe for application/x-www-
+//     form-urlencoded bodies (Go caches the parsed form). For future
+//     multipart/JSON endpoints under /ui/*, the X-CSRF-Token header
+//     path is the only supported mechanism — extend accordingly.
+//   - HttpOnly is intentionally false on _csrf cookie: the layout script
+//     reads it from document.cookie / meta tag to inject into htmx
+//     hx-headers. This means an XSS bug degrades CSRF protection to
+//     XSS-level. Content-Security-Policy headers (see GHSA-w7w5 fix)
+//     mitigate the XSS surface.
