Merge pull request 'security: tighten gitleaks regex + document history-purge audit trail' (#14) from devin/1776542851-harden-gitleaks-and-document-purge into master

Two small follow-ups to the out-of-band git-history rewrite that
purged L@ker$2010 / L@kers2010 / L@ker\$2010 from every branch and
tag:

.gitleaks.toml:
  - Regex was L@kers?\$?2010 which catches the expanded form but
    NOT the shell-escaped form (L@ker\$2010) that slipped past PR #3
    in scripts/setup-database.sh. PR #13 fixed the live leak but did
    not tighten the detector. New regex L@kers?\\?\$?2010 catches
    both forms so future pastes of either form fail CI.
  - Description rewritten without the literal password (the previous
    description was redacted by the history rewrite itself and read
    'Legacy hardcoded ... (***REDACTED-LEGACY-PW*** / ***REDACTED-LEGACY-PW***)'
    which was cryptic).

docs/SECURITY.md:
  - New 'History-purge audit trail' section recording what was done,
    how it was verified (0 literal password matches in any blob or
    commit message; 0 legacy-password findings from a post-rewrite
    gitleaks scan), and what operator cleanup is still required on
    the Gitea host to drop the 13 refs/pull/*/head refs that still
    pin the pre-rewrite commits (the update hook declined those refs
    over HTTPS, so only an admin on the Gitea VM can purge them via
    'git update-ref -d' + 'git gc --prune=now' in the bare repo).
  - New 'Re-introduction guard' subsection pointing at the tightened
    regex and commit 78e1ff5.

Verification:
  gitleaks detect --no-git --source . --config .gitleaks.toml   # 0 legacy hits
  git log --all -p | grep -cE 'L@ker\$2010|L@kers2010'         # 0

-## What This Does
+## Quickstart (local)
 
-1. ✅ Tests database connection
-2. ✅ Runs migration (if needed)
-3. ✅ Stops existing server
-4. ✅ Starts server with database
-5. ✅ Tests all endpoints
-6. ✅ Provides status summary
+Prereqs: Docker (+ compose), Go 1.23.x, Node 20.
 
-## Manual Execution
+```bash
+# 1. Infra deps
+docker compose -f deployment/docker-compose.yml up -d postgres elasticsearch redis
 
-If the script doesn't work, see [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) for step-by-step manual commands.

-- **Production (canonical target):** the current **Next.js standalone frontend** in `frontend/src/`, built from `frontend/` with `npm run build` and deployed to VMID 5000 as a Node service behind nginx.
-- **Canonical deploy script:** `./scripts/deploy-next-frontend-to-vmid5000.sh`
-- **Canonical nginx wiring:** keep `/api`, `/api/config/*`, `/explorer-api/*`, `/token-aggregation/api/v1/*`, `/snap/`, and `/health`; proxy `/` and `/_next/` to the frontend service using `deployment/common/nginx-next-frontend-proxy.conf`.
-- **Legacy fallback only:** the static SPA (`frontend/public/index.html` + `explorer-spa.js`) remains in-repo for compatibility/reference, but it is not a supported primary deployment target.
-- **Architecture command center:** `frontend/public/chain138-command-center.html` — tabbed Mermaid topology (Chain 138 hub, network, stack, flows, cross-chain, cW Mainnet, off-chain, integrations). Linked from the SPA **More → Explore → Visual Command Center**.
-- **Legacy static deploy scripts:** `./scripts/deploy-frontend-to-vmid5000.sh` and `./scripts/deploy.sh` now fail fast with a deprecation message and point to the canonical Next.js deploy path.
-- **Frontend review & tasks:** [frontend/FRONTEND_REVIEW.md](frontend/FRONTEND_REVIEW.md), [frontend/FRONTEND_TASKS_AND_REVIEW.md](frontend/FRONTEND_TASKS_AND_REVIEW.md)

-Reusable components live under `backend/libs/` and `frontend/libs/` and may be split into separate repos and linked via **git submodules**. Clone with submodules:
-
-```bash
-git clone --recurse-submodules <repo-url>
-# or after clone:
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-```
-
-See [docs/REUSABLE_COMPONENTS_EXTRACTION_PLAN.md](docs/REUSABLE_COMPONENTS_EXTRACTION_PLAN.md) for the full plan.
+Full list: `deployment/ENVIRONMENT_TEMPLATE.env`.
 
 ## Testing
 
-- **All unit/lint:** `make test` — backend `go test ./...` and frontend `npm test` (lint + type-check).
-- **Backend:** `cd backend && go test ./...` — API tests run without a real DB; health returns 200 or 503, DB-dependent endpoints return 503 when DB is nil.
-- **Frontend:** `cd frontend && npm run build` or `npm test` — Next.js build (includes lint) or lint + type-check only.
-- **E2E:** `make test-e2e` or `npm run e2e` from repo root — Playwright tests against https://blockscout.defi-oracle.io by default; use `EXPLORER_URL=http://localhost:3000` for local.
+```bash
+# Unit tests + static checks
+cd backend && go test ./... && staticcheck ./... && govulncheck ./...
+cd frontend && npm test && npm run test:unit
 
-## Status
+# Production canary
+EXPLORER_URL=https://explorer.d-bis.org make test-e2e
 
-✅ All implementation complete  
-✅ All scripts ready  
-✅ All documentation complete  
-✅ Frontend: C1–C4, M1–M4, H4, H5, L2, L4 done; H1/H2/H3 (escapeHtml/safe href) in place; optional L1, L3 remain  
-✅ CI: backend + frontend tests; lint job runs `go vet`, `npm run lint`, `npm run type-check`  
-✅ Tests: `make test`, `make test-e2e`, `make build` all pass  
+# Full local stack + Playwright
+make e2e-full
+```
 
-**Ready for deployment!**

+
+## Authentication
+
+Track 1 endpoints (listed below under **Track1**, **Health**, and most
+of **Blocks** / **Transactions** / **Search**) are public. Every other
+endpoint requires a wallet JWT.
+
+The flow:
+
+1. `POST /api/v1/auth/nonce` with `{address}`  → `{nonce}`
+2. Sign the nonce with the wallet.
+3. `POST /api/v1/auth/wallet` with `{address, nonce, signature}`
+   → `{token, expiresAt, track, permissions}`
+4. Send subsequent requests with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
+5. Refresh before `expiresAt` with
+   `POST /api/v1/auth/refresh` (see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)).
+6. Log out with `POST /api/v1/auth/logout` — revokes the token's
+   `jti` server-side.

+# Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+SolaceScan is a four-tier block explorer + access-control plane for
+Chain 138. Every request is classified into one of four **tracks**;
+higher tracks require stronger authentication and hit different
+internal subsystems.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR

+## Tracks
+

+      T1D[/api/v1/track1/*]
+    end

+      T4B[Mission-control SSE]
+      T4C[Ops tooling]
+    end
+
+    Track1 --> Track2 --> Track3 --> Track4
+```
+
+Authentication for tracks 2–4 is SIWE-style: client hits
+`/api/v1/auth/nonce`, signs the nonce with its wallet, posts the
+signature to `/api/v1/auth/wallet`, gets a JWT back. JWTs carry the
+resolved `track` claim and a `jti` for server-side revocation (see
+`backend/auth/wallet_auth.go`).
+
+### Per-track token TTLs
+
+| Track | TTL | Rationale |
+|------|-----|-----------|
+| 1 | 12h | Public / long-lived session OK |
+| 2 | 8h | Business day |
+| 3 | 4h | Analytics session |
+| 4 | **60 min** | Operator tokens are the most dangerous; short TTL + `POST /api/v1/auth/refresh` |
+
+Revocation lives in `jwt_revocations` (migration `0016`). Logging out
+(`POST /api/v1/auth/logout`) inserts the token's `jti` so subsequent
+validation rejects it.
+
+## Sign-in flow (wallet)
+
+```mermaid

+
+## Subsystems
+
+- **`backend/api/rest`** — HTTP API. One package; every handler lives
+  under `backend/api/rest/*.go`. AI endpoints were split into
+  `ai.go` + `ai_context.go` + `ai_routes.go` + `ai_docs.go` +
+  `ai_xai.go` + `ai_helpers.go` by PR #6 to keep file size
+  manageable.
+- **`backend/auth`** — wallet auth (nonce issue, signature verify,
+  JWT issuance / validation / revocation / refresh).
+- **`backend/indexer`** — Chain 138 block/tx/log indexer, writes
+  Postgres + Elasticsearch, invalidates Redis.
+- **`backend/analytics`** — longer-running queries: token distribution,
+  holder concentration, liquidity-pool aggregates.
+- **`backend/api/track4`** — operator-scoped endpoints
+  (`run-script`, mission-control).
+- **`frontend`** — Next.js 14 pages-router app. Router decision
+  (PR #9) is final: no `src/app/`.
+
+## Runtime dependencies
+
+| Service | Why |
+|---------|-----|
+| Postgres (+ TimescaleDB) | Chain data, users, subscriptions, `jwt_revocations` |
+| Elasticsearch | Full-text search, facets |
+| Redis | Response cache, rate-limit counters, SSE fan-out |
+| Chain 138 RPC | Upstream source of truth; three lanes — core / alltra / thirdweb — catalogued in `backend/config/rpc_products.yaml` |
+
+## Deployment
+
+See [deployment/README.md](../deployment/README.md) for compose and
+production deploy details. The `deployment/docker-compose.yml` file
+is the reference local stack and is what `make e2e-full` drives.
+
+## Security posture
+
+- `JWT_SECRET` and `CSP_HEADER` are **fail-fast** — a production
+  binary refuses to start without them (PR #3).
+- Secrets never live in-repo; `.gitleaks.toml` blocks known-bad
+  patterns at commit time.
+- Rotation checklist: [docs/SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
+- Track-4 token TTL capped at 60 min; every issued token is
+  revocable by `jti`.

+# Security policy and rotation checklist
+
+This document describes how secrets flow through the SolaceScan explorer and
+the operator steps required to rotate credentials that were previously
+checked into this repository.
+
+## Secret inventory
+
+All runtime secrets are read from environment variables. Nothing sensitive
+is committed to the repo.
+
+| Variable | Used by | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `JWT_SECRET` | `backend/api/rest/server.go` | HS256 signing key. Must be ≥32 bytes. Required when `APP_ENV=production` or `GO_ENV=production`. A missing or too-short value is a fatal startup error; there is no permissive fallback. |
+| `CSP_HEADER` | `backend/api/rest/server.go` | Full Content-Security-Policy string. Required in production. The development default bans `unsafe-inline`, `unsafe-eval`, and private CIDRs. |
+| `DB_PASSWORD` | deployment scripts (`EXECUTE_DEPLOYMENT.sh`, `EXECUTE_NOW.sh`) and the API | Postgres password for the `explorer` role. |
+| `SSH_PASSWORD` | `scripts/analyze-besu-logs.sh`, `scripts/check-besu-config.sh`, `scripts/check-besu-logs-with-password.sh`, `scripts/check-failed-transaction-details.sh`, `scripts/enable-besu-debug-api.sh` | SSH password used to reach the Besu VMs. Scripts fail fast if unset. |
+| `NEW_PASSWORD` | `scripts/set-vmid-password.sh`, `scripts/set-vmid-password-correct.sh` | Password being set on a Proxmox VM. Fail-fast required. |
+| `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGIN` | `backend/api/rest/server.go` | Optional. When set, restricts `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`. Defaults to `*` — do not rely on that in production. |
+| `OPERATOR_SCRIPTS_ROOT` / `OPERATOR_SCRIPT_ALLOWLIST` | `backend/api/track4/operator_scripts.go` | Required to enable the Track-4 run-script endpoint. |
+| `OPERATOR_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT_SEC` | as above | Optional cap (1–599 seconds). |
+
+## Rotation checklist
+
+The repository's git history contains historical versions of credentials
+that have since been removed from the working tree. Treat those credentials
+as compromised. The checklist below rotates everything that appeared in the
+initial public review.
+
+> **This repository does not rotate credentials on its own. The checklist
+> below is the operator's responsibility.** Merging secret-scrub PRs does
+> not invalidate any previously leaked secret.
+
+1. **Rotate the Postgres `explorer` role password.**
+   - Generate a new random password (`openssl rand -base64 24`).
+   - `ALTER USER explorer WITH PASSWORD '<new>';`
+   - Update the new password in the deployment secret store (Docker
+     swarm secret / Kubernetes secret / `.env.secrets` on the host).
+   - Restart the API and indexer services so they pick up the new value.
+
+2. **Rotate the Proxmox / Besu VM SSH password.**
+   - `sudo passwd besu` (or equivalent) on each affected VM.
+   - Or, preferred: disable password auth entirely and move to SSH keys
+     (`PasswordAuthentication no` in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`).
+
+3. **Rotate `JWT_SECRET`.**
+   - Generate 32+ bytes (`openssl rand -base64 48`).
+   - Deploy the new value to every API replica simultaneously.
+   - Note: rotating invalidates every outstanding wallet auth token. Plan
+     for a short window where users will need to re-sign.
+   - A future PR introduces a versioned key list so rotations can be
+     overlapping.
+
+4. **Rotate any API keys (e.g. xAI / OpenSea) referenced by
+   `backend/api/rest/ai.go` and the frontend.** These are provisioned
+   outside this repo; follow each vendor's rotation flow.
+
+5. **Audit git history.**
+   - Run `gitleaks detect --source . --redact` at HEAD.
+   - Run `gitleaks detect --log-opts="--all"` over the full history.
+   - Any hit there is a credential that must be treated as compromised and
+     rotated independently of the current state of the working tree.
+   - Purging from history (`git filter-repo`) does **not** retroactively
+     secure a leaked secret — rotate first, clean history later.
+
+## History-purge audit trail
+
+Following the rotation checklist above, the legacy `L@ker$2010` /
+`L@kers2010` / `L@ker\$2010` password strings were purged from every
+branch and tag in this repository using `git filter-repo
+--replace-text` followed by a `--replace-message` pass for commit
+message text. The rewritten history was force-pushed with
+`git push --mirror --force`.
+
+Verification post-rewrite:
+
+```
+git log --all -p | grep -cE 'L@ker\$2010|L@kers2010|L@ker\\\$2010'
+0
+gitleaks detect --no-git --source . --config .gitleaks.toml
+0 legacy-password findings
+```
+
+### Residual server-side state (not purgable from the client)
+
+Gitea's `refs/pull/*/head` refs (the read-only mirror of each PR's
+original head commit) **cannot be force-updated over HTTPS** — the
+server's `update` hook declines them. After a history rewrite the
+following cleanup must be performed **on the Gitea host** by an
+administrator:
+
+1. Run `gitea admin repo-sync-release-archive` and
+   `gitea doctor --run all --fix` if available.
+2. Or manually, as the gitea user on the server:
+   ```bash
+   cd /var/lib/gitea/data/gitea-repositories/d-bis/explorer-monorepo.git
+   git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' 'refs/pull/*/head' | \
+       xargs -n1 git update-ref -d
+   git gc --prune=now --aggressive
+   ```
+3. Restart Gitea.
+
+Until this server-side cleanup is performed, the 13 `refs/pull/*/head`
+refs still pin the pre-rewrite commits containing the legacy
+password. This does not affect branches, the default clone, or
+`master` — but the old commits remain reachable by SHA through the
+Gitea web UI (e.g. on the merged PR's **Files Changed** tab).
+
+### Re-introduction guard
+
+The `.gitleaks.toml` rule `explorer-legacy-db-password-L@ker` was
+tightened from `L@kers?\$?2010` to `L@kers?\\?\$?2010` so it also
+catches the shell-escaped form that slipped past the original PR #3
+scrub (see commit `78e1ff5`). Future attempts to paste any variant of
+the legacy password — in source, shell scripts, or env files — will
+fail the `gitleaks` CI job wired in PR #5.
+
+## Build-time / CI checks (wired in PR #5)

+
+Fast. Run on every PR.

+
+## 3. Production-targeting Playwright
+
+Runs against `https://explorer.d-bis.org` (or the URL in `EXPLORER_URL`)
+and only checks public routes. Useful as a production canary; wired
+into the `test-e2e` Make target.
+
+```bash

+```
+
+## 4. Full-stack Playwright (`make e2e-full`)
+
+Spins up the entire stack locally — `postgres`, `elasticsearch`,
+`redis` via docker-compose, plus a local build of `backend/api/rest`
+and `frontend` — then runs the full-stack Playwright spec against it.
+
+```bash
+make e2e-full
+```
+
+What it does, in order:
+
+1. `docker compose -p explorer-e2e up -d postgres elasticsearch redis`
+2. Wait for Postgres readiness.
+3. Run `go run database/migrations/migrate.go` to apply schema +
+   seeds (including `0016_jwt_revocations` from PR #8).
+4. `go run ./backend/api/rest` on port `8080`.
+5. `npm ci && npm run build && npm run start` on port `3000`.
+6. `npx playwright test scripts/e2e-full-stack.spec.ts`.
+7. Tear everything down (unless `E2E_KEEP_STACK=1`).
+
+Screenshots of every route are written to
+`test-results/screenshots/<route>.png`.
