 ## Architecture summary
 
-The guestbook extends the existing Astro site with **hybrid SSR** mode using the `@astrojs/node` standalone adapter.
+The guestbook extends the Astro site with **hybrid SSR** mode using the `@astrojs/node` standalone adapter.
 
-- All existing pages remain statically pre-rendered (no behavior change).
-- New guestbook and admin pages are server-rendered on request (`export const prerender = false`).
-- API routes handle form submissions, WebAuthn flows, and moderation actions.
-- SQLite (via `better-sqlite3`) provides zero-dependency persistent storage.
-- The Docker image now runs a Node.js process instead of Nginx serving static files.
+- Existing content pages remain static.
+- Guestbook and admin pages are server-rendered (`export const prerender = false`).
+- API routes handle submissions, moderation, and token-based admin login.
+- SQLite (`better-sqlite3`) stores entries, sessions, rate-limit data, and audit logs.

+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set:
 
 | Variable | Required | Description |
 |---|---|---|
-| `SECRET_KEY` | **Yes** | 32+ char random secret for IP hash salting and sessions |
-| `WEBAUTHN_RP_ID` | **Yes** | Domain without scheme (e.g. `hiddenden.cafe`) |
-| `WEBAUTHN_ORIGIN` | **Yes** | Full origin (e.g. `https://hiddenden.cafe`) |
-| `WEBAUTHN_RP_NAME` | No | Display name in YubiKey prompt (default: `Cozy Den`) |
-| `DB_PATH` | No | Path to SQLite file (default: `./data/guestbook.db`) |
+| `SECRET_KEY` | **Yes** | Random secret for IP-hash salting and session-related values |
+| `ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN` | **Yes** | Shared secret token for `/admin/login` |
+| `COOKIE_SECURE` | No | Force secure cookies (`true`/`false`). If unset, `NODE_ENV=production` => secure cookies |
+| `DB_PATH` | No | SQLite path (default: `./data/guestbook.db`) |
 | `PORT` | No | Server port (default: `3000`) |
-| `HOST` | No | Bind address (default: `0.0.0.0`) |
+| `HOST` | No | Bind host (default: `0.0.0.0`) |
 
-Generate a `SECRET_KEY`:
-```bash
-openssl rand -hex 32
-```
-
-## First-time admin setup (YubiKey registration)
-
-1. Deploy the site with correct `WEBAUTHN_RP_ID` and `WEBAUTHN_ORIGIN` env vars.
-2. Visit `https://hiddenden.cafe/admin/login` in your browser.
-3. Since no credentials are registered yet, you will see **"Register your security key"**.
-4. Insert your YubiKey, click the button, touch the key when it flashes.
-5. After successful registration, the page reloads to login mode.
-6. Use the same key to log in — touch when prompted.
-7. You are now in the moderation portal at `/admin`.
-
-**Security note:** Registration is only possible when no credentials exist in the database.
-Once registered, the registration endpoint returns `403 Forbidden`. To re-register (e.g. after a lost key), you must clear the `webauthn_credentials` table in the SQLite database:
+Generate secrets:
 
 ```bash
-# Access the database inside Docker
-docker exec -it cozy-den sh
-sqlite3 /data/guestbook.db "DELETE FROM webauthn_credentials;"
+openssl rand -hex 32   # SECRET_KEY
+openssl rand -hex 32   # ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN
 ```
 
-Then visit `/admin/login` again to register a new key.
+## Admin setup
+
+1. Set `ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN` in your environment.
+2. Open `/admin/login`.
+3. Enter token.
+4. After success, you are redirected to `/admin`.
+
+If token is missing, `/admin/login` shows a configuration warning and login is disabled.
 
 ## Local development
 
 ```bash
-# Install dependencies
 npm install
-
-# Create a local .env file
 cp .env.example .env
-# Edit .env and set:
-#   SECRET_KEY=any-random-string-here
-#   WEBAUTHN_RP_ID=localhost
-#   WEBAUTHN_ORIGIN=http://localhost:4321
-#   DB_PATH=./data/guestbook.db
+# set at minimum:
+# SECRET_KEY=...
+# ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN=...
+# DB_PATH=./data/guestbook.db
+# COOKIE_SECURE=false   # for local http
 
-# Run dev server
 npm run dev
-# Visit http://localhost:4321/guestbook
-# Admin portal: http://localhost:4321/admin/login
+# guestbook: http://localhost:4321/guestbook
+# admin:     http://localhost:4321/admin/login
 ```
 
-**WebAuthn in local dev:** Most browsers require HTTPS for WebAuthn, with one exception:
-`localhost` (not `127.0.0.1`) is treated as a secure origin. Make sure `WEBAUTHN_RP_ID=localhost`
-and `WEBAUTHN_ORIGIN=http://localhost:4321` when developing locally.
-
 ## Docker deployment
 
 ```bash
-# Build and run
 docker compose up -d --build
-
-# The app is available on port 3000
-# Point your reverse proxy (Nginx, Caddy) to http://localhost:3000
-# Make sure to set X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers for rate limiting
-
-# View logs
 docker compose logs -f cozy-den
-
-# Backup the database
-docker run --rm -v cozy_den_guestbook_data:/data -v $(pwd):/backup alpine \
-  tar czf /backup/guestbook-backup.tar.gz /data
 ```
 
-The `guestbook_data` Docker volume persists the SQLite database across container restarts and updates.
+The `guestbook_data` Docker volume persists the SQLite database.
 
 ## Moderation flow
 
-1. Visitor submits a message at `/guestbook` → stored as `status = 'pending'`
-2. Admin logs in at `/admin/login` with YubiKey
-3. Admin sees pending messages at `/admin`
-4. Admin clicks **approve**, **reject**, or **spam**
-5. Optional: add an internal note before moderating
-6. Approved messages appear on `/guestbook`
-
-Messages auto-marked as spam (by heuristic scoring) skip the pending queue and are silently rejected.
-
-## Spam protection
-
-- **Honeypot field:** Hidden `<input name="address">` — bots fill it, humans don't.
-- **Rate limiting:** Max 3 submissions per IP hash per hour (stored in SQLite).
-- **Duplicate detection:** Exact name+message matches within 24 hours are silently deduped.
-- **Heuristic scoring:** Pattern matching for known spam keywords, URL counts, all-caps messages.
-- **Server-side validation:** All fields sanitized, HTML stripped, length limits enforced.
-- **Moderation gate:** No message appears publicly without admin approval.
+1. Visitor submits message at `/guestbook`.
+2. Entry is saved as `pending`.
+3. Admin logs in at `/admin/login` with token.
+4. Admin approves/rejects/marks spam in `/admin`.
+5. Approved entries are shown publicly.
 
 ## Privacy decisions
 
-- IP addresses are **never stored**. A salted SHA-256 hash (truncated to 16 hex chars) is stored for rate limiting only.
-- The `SECRET_KEY` env var is the salt — changing it invalidates all stored hashes (rate limits reset; this is acceptable).
-- No user accounts, no tracking, no cookies for public visitors.
-- Admin sessions use `httpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict` cookies.
-- Guestbook entries are plain text only; HTML is stripped before storage.
-- The admin portal is `noindex, nofollow` — not discoverable by search engines.
+- IP addresses are never stored directly.
+- A truncated salted hash is stored only for rate limiting.
+- No tracking scripts or third-party analytics.
+- Admin session cookie is `httpOnly` and `SameSite=Strict`.
+- User content is stored as plain text (HTML stripped server-side).
 
-## Database schema overview
+## Database tables
 
 | Table | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `guestbook_entries` | All submissions (pending/approved/rejected/spam) |
-| `webauthn_credentials` | Registered YubiKey credentials |
-| `admin_sessions` | Active admin login sessions (expire after 24h) |
-| `webauthn_challenges` | Temporary WebAuthn challenges (expire after 5 min) |
-| `rate_limit` | Per-IP-hash submission timestamps |
-| `audit_log` | Record of all moderation actions |
+| `guestbook_entries` | Submissions + moderation status |
+| `admin_sessions` | Active admin sessions |
+| `rate_limit` | Submission throttling by IP hash |
+| `audit_log` | Moderation actions |
 
-## Deployment note: nginx and CSP
-
-The original `nginx.conf` served static files directly. Now that the app is a Node.js server,
-the nginx config has been updated to a **reverse proxy** pattern.
-
-If you run your own Nginx/Caddy in front:
-- Pass `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Real-IP` headers so rate limiting works correctly.
-- WebAuthn requires that the `Origin` header matches `WEBAUTHN_ORIGIN` exactly.
-- The Content-Security-Policy should allow `script-src 'self'` for the WebAuthn client JS (it's bundled by Astro, served from self).
