/**
 * forward_auth enforcement routes — DC-154 (spec §4 Layer 2).
 *
 *   GET|POST /network/forward-auth/   — the Caddy forward_auth target
 *
 * This route IS the auth check — deliberately NO auth middleware in front
 * of it and completely stateless. Caddy calls it on every protected
 * request; a 2xx lets the request through, anything else is the answer the
 * client sees. Mounted via the SAME lazy-provider pattern as the WG redeem
 * route (src/app.js p7WgRedeemLazy): no active provider → 503
 * { error: 'network provider not active' }.
 *
 * Caddy convention: the client IP arrives in X-Forwarded-For (set from the
 * remote host by the reverse proxy), a chained comma list whose FIRST
 * entry is the original client. parseForwardedFor() extracts it; fall back
 * to req.ip when the header is absent.
 *
 * Host: X-Forwarded-Host first (proxy-rewritten), then Host.
 *
 * TRUST BOUNDARY: forwarded headers are consulted only when the immediate
 * peer is in trustedProxies; every other request is identified by its
 * socket address alone.
