then streams the body without any time bound; a header timeout is logged
server-side and answered as a 502 that names the limit. WebSocket handshakes use
the separate `CODEMAN_WEBVIEW_WS_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS` (default 30s).
- **Not a security boundary.** The proxy reaches whatever the Codeman server can
reach. That is not an escalation for someone who already commands
`--dangerously-skip-permissions` agents, but in multi-user mode it does mean a
non-admin user's dashboard is fetched from the server's network position.
- **Not a security boundary, with one carve-out.** The proxy reaches whatever the
Codeman server can reach (a `localhost` dashboard is the point), so it is not an
escalation for someone who already commands `--dangerously-skip-permissions`
agents, but in multi-user mode it does mean a non-admin user's dashboard is
fetched from the server's network position. The carve-out: link-local and
cloud-metadata addresses (`169.254.0.0/16`, `fe80::/10`, `fd00:ec2::254`,
Azure's `168.63.129.16`, Alibaba's `100.100.100.200`, the
`metadata.google.internal` alias) are refused at save time AND at connect
time, judged on the address a name actually resolves to. Nothing anyone embeds
as a dashboard lives there; an instance's IAM credentials do.
- **The proxy URL is a bearer credential.** `/webview/<cap>/...` needs no cookie,
so treat it like a password. It is revoked when you log out, when an admin logs
you out, and when your account is deleted, and it expires after 12 hours
without use. Proxied responses carry `Referrer-Policy: same-origin`, so a
dashboard that links to third-party sites does not hand them the URL.
