owenandClaude Sonnet 5 789bf91eed Complete Phase 4: security hardening, player/playlist/admin UI, docs
Security:
- New internal/netguard package: podcast feed/enclosure fetching now
  refuses to dial non-public IPs (loopback/RFC1918/link-local/cloud
  metadata/CGNAT), validated per-connection including across redirects,
  closing an SSRF gap where a malicious or compromised feed URL could
  probe the server's internal network. Configurable via
  VIBESONIC_PODCASTS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS for intentional LAN feeds.
- Podcast episode downloads capped at 4GB (was unbounded, disk-exhaustion risk)
- Cover art decoding now rejects images above a 40-megapixel budget
  before full decode (decompression-bomb guard)
- HTTP server sets ReadHeaderTimeout (slowloris hardening)
- Admin folder-scan redirect now validated as same-site instead of
  trusting the raw Referer header (open-redirect fix)
- Legacy Subsonic token/salt auth now uses a constant-time comparison

Web UI completion:
- Persistent player: shuffle and repeat (off/all/one) controls, wired
  into queue advance/prev logic and persisted like other player state
- Admin user-permissions form: adminRole toggle (with a guard against
  demoting the last remaining admin) and per-user music-folder access
  checkboxes, backed by existing schema/enforcement that was previously
  unreachable from the UI
- Playlist M3U8 import/export

Docs: added docs/client-compatibility.md (honest tracking template —
no client testing has been performed), docs/deployment.md,
docs/security.md, docs/backup.md; refreshed README and cross-links;
added a footnote in docs/subsonic-compatibility.md distinguishing
spec-standard from VibeSonic-original OpenSubsonic extensions.

Also added Go fuzz tests for the external-auth CIDR/IP parser and the
LRC lyrics parser.

# Configuration
VibeSonic is configured entirely through environment variables. There is
no separate config file — everything needed to run the server is
available via `VIBESONIC_*` variables, with sane defaults for everything
except the session secret.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VIBESONIC_LISTEN_ADDR` | `:8080` | HTTP listen address |
| `VIBESONIC_DATA_DIR` | `/var/lib/vibesonic` | Directory for the database, resized cover-art cache, etc. |
| `VIBESONIC_DB` | `<DATA_DIR>/vibesonic.db` | Path to the SQLite database file |
| `VIBESONIC_MUSIC_DIRS` | *(none)* | Colon-separated list of music folders to import on startup, e.g. `/music:/music-lossless:/audiobooks`. Additional folders can also be added later from the admin UI. |
| `VIBESONIC_FFMPEG_PATH` | `ffmpeg` (from `PATH`) | Path to the `ffmpeg` binary |
| `VIBESONIC_FFPROBE_PATH` | `ffprobe` (from `PATH`) | Path to the `ffprobe` binary |
| `VIBESONIC_MPV_PATH` | `mpv` (from `PATH`) | Path to the `mpv` binary, used as the Subsonic jukebox's playback backend. If not found, the jukebox is administratively unavailable and `jukeboxControl` returns a clear error instead of a fake success. |
| `VIBESONIC_SCAN_INTERVAL` | `1h` | How often to rescan enabled music folders, as a Go duration (`30m`, `6h`, ...). A startup scan always runs regardless of this value. |
| `VIBESONIC_SESSION_SECRET` | *(none)* | Reserved for future use hardening session cookies beyond their database-backed random IDs. Not required to run, but recommended to set (e.g. `openssl rand -hex 32`) — VibeSonic logs a warning at startup if it's empty. |
| `VIBESONIC_COOKIE_SECURE` | `true` | Whether session/CSRF cookies get the `Secure` attribute. Set to `false` only for local development over plain HTTP. |
| `VIBESONIC_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_METADATA` | `false` | Enable optional MusicBrainz/Cover Art Archive lookups for songs/albums that already carry a locally-tagged MusicBrainz ID. VibeSonic works fully offline with this off; it's the only feature that makes outbound Internet requests. |
| `VIBESONIC_PODCASTS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS` | `false` | Allow podcast feed/enclosure URLs to resolve to loopback/LAN/link-local addresses. Leave this off unless you intentionally host podcast feeds on a private network — see [`docs/security.md`](security.md#podcast-fetching-ssrf-protections). |
## External authentication
See [`docs/external-auth.md`](external-auth.md) for the full
`VIBESONIC_EXTAUTH_*` reference.
## First run
On a database with no users yet, every request redirects to `/setup`,
which walks you through creating the administrator account and your
first music folder, detects `ffmpeg`/`ffprobe`, and kicks off the first
scan. VibeSonic never ships default credentials — the administrator
account only exists once you create it through this wizard.
## Migrations
Schema migrations are embedded in the binary (`migrations/*.sql`) and
applied automatically on startup, tracked in a `schema_migrations` table.
There is nothing to run manually.
