+**No ticket references in code or test comments.** Don't write `PUT-1234`, `AUTH-3`, `GUI-2`, `// fix for FOO-99`, `// per ROLLOUT-1`, or section headers like `// -- PUT-1020: ... --`. The ticket exists in git history and the issue tracker; the code should describe the *why* in domain terms ("logout cascade transparently invalidates...") not project-management terms ("the cascade from AUTH-3..."). Same rule for test-block names and section dividers — describe what's being tested, not which ticket asked for it.

+**Use plain ASCII `-` in comment section dividers, not box-drawing characters.** Write `// -- Section name --`, not `// ── Section name ──`. The `─` (U+2500) character renders inconsistently in some editors and diff tools and adds nothing over `-`.

 When adding new behavior (function, endpoint, driver method, branch of logic), add a test for it.

+## Known Non-Issues (Please Check Before Submitting)
+
+The following have already been reviewed and determined **not to be vulnerabilities**. Reports that only re-describe one of these are **not eligible for a reward** and will be closed as non-issues — even if they include new code references. Please review this list before submitting:
+
+* **XSS / CORS / token issues scoped to `api.puter.com`.** The primary user session cookie lives on `puter.com`, not on the API origin, so reflected/stored XSS, CORS, or token handling on `api.puter.com` is generally out of scope. Two exceptions we *do* evaluate on their merits — please report these: (a) attacker-controlled content served **inline** (e.g. an HTML `Content-Type`) from API file/response endpoints, and (b) anything that abuses the app-scoped `puter_token_v2` companion cookie set on the API host.
+* **SSRF via `secureFetch`.** Production routes outbound requests through an isolated proxy that has no access to internal/SSRF-sensitive resources.
+* **Attacks that depend on guessing an `appInstanceID` or app UID.** These are random 128-bit secret values and are not considered guessable.
+* **Apps invoking drivers, creating workers, or using KV.** Applications are intended to do this; worker permissions are scoped to the owning app. This is by design.
+* **App metadata or app user-count "leaks".** This information is currently public by design.
+* **General "token in a URL" / token-lifetime designs** — signed directory URLs exposing children, a write signature implying read, or app tokens outliving a web session. These are current intended behaviors.
+* **Missing PKCE, unverified `id_token` signatures, or other OIDC hardening.** Provider tokens are obtained through a server-to-server authorization-code exchange with the provider's token endpoint over TLS, so the resulting `id_token` / userinfo claims are trusted from that channel rather than from local JWKS signature verification — the callback never accepts a caller-supplied `id_token`. Adding local signature / `aud` / `iss` / `exp` checks is welcome defense-in-depth (please open a GitHub issue/PR), but their absence is not an account-takeover vector on its own.
+* **JWT "algorithm confusion" / unpinned `algorithms` in `jwt.verify`.** Puter's session tokens are HMAC-signed (HS256) with a server-side secret, and there is no asymmetric public key anywhere in the verification path, so `alg`-substitution attacks do not apply. Explicitly pinning `algorithms` is a fine hardening PR, but it is not a vulnerability.
+* **Static-source "SQL injection" in internal pagination.** Findings such as `LIMIT ${limit}` in list/notification queries: the limit is numerically coerced and clamped before it reaches the query, so it is not reachable with attacker-controlled string input. Hardening PRs to the internal stores are welcome, but these are not exploitable as reported.
+* **Deprecated `saveTo*` GUI app messages.** The legacy `saveToDesktop` / `saveToDocuments` / etc. app-IPC handlers can create — never overwrite — new files in standard user folders. The behavior is non-destructive, path-traversal-safe, and deprecated (slated for removal); it is not treated as a sandbox escape.
+* **Best-practice suggestions** such as login/registration username enumeration (kept intentionally for UX) or unauthenticated unsubscribe links (industry norm).
+* **Rate-limiting suggestions for TURN credential issuance** (intentional; not billed per tunnel).
+
+If you believe you have a **genuinely new** exploit chain that defeats one of these rationales (for example, demonstrating a sensitive credential that really is reachable on `api.puter.com`), say so explicitly and show why the reasoning above does not apply.
+
 ## Rules of Engagement
 
 To participate, you must:
 
-1. **Report responsibly**: Provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue, including proof-of-concept code or screenshots where applicable.
+1. **Report responsibly**: Provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue, including proof-of-concept code, screenshots, or a screen recording (see *Proof of Reproduction* below).
 2. **Do no harm**: Do not exfiltrate, modify, or delete data. Only access your own account or test data.
 3. **Respect availability**: Do not perform denial-of-service attacks or automated scans that degrade service.
 4. **Follow disclosure policy**: Do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities until we have confirmed and patched the issue.
 5. **Act in good faith**: Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of services.
+6. **Check the Known Non-Issues list**: Reports matching an item in the "Known Non-Issues" section above are not eligible and will be closed.
 
 Reports that do not meet these guidelines may not be eligible for a reward.
 
+## Proof of Reproduction
+
+Reports must demonstrate a **working, reproducible exploit with real impact** — not a theoretical or static-source-review finding. Please include:
+
+* Exact steps to reproduce, the relevant request/response or code path, and the commit or version you tested.
+* The **observed** result versus the **expected** result.
+* For client-side, UI, or authentication-flow bugs: a short screen recording (≤ 2 minutes) showing the exploit working end-to-end on a real Puter instance.
+* For server-side bugs: a runnable proof-of-concept.
+
+Reports based solely on reading the source ("source review only, not tested") or unverified AI/LLM-generated reports are the **lowest triage priority and are generally not eligible**. If you used an AI tool to help find an issue, you must personally verify that it actually reproduces before submitting.
+
+Please submit **one issue per report**. Bundled "audit packs" of many speculative findings will be declined; send each confirmed issue separately.
+

 Why these knobs:
 
+- `jwt_secret` + `jwt_secret_v2` — Puter signs new auth tokens with `jwt_secret_v2` (v2 token format, `kid: 'v2'` JWT header). `jwt_secret` is verify-only and lets tokens minted before this version (cookies still in users' browsers, stored API tokens) keep working. `allow_v1_tokens: true` keeps that fallback enabled. Fresh installs can leave it as-is; future versions will flip the flag to `false` and retire `jwt_secret` entirely once legacy tokens have drained.
 - `env: "prod"` — the bundled `config.default.json` ships with `env: "dev"` (matches the source-tree `npm run start=gui` workflow, which expects webpack-dev-server emitting a CSS manifest). Self-host runs against pre-built static bundles, so `env: "prod"` makes the homepage emit the `/dist/bundle.min.css` `<link>` tag instead of waiting on a manifest that doesn't exist.
-- `database.migrationPaths` — Puter applies the bundled MySQL schema on boot. `mysql_mig_1.sql` (tables) and `mysql_mig_2.sql` (default apps: editor, viewer, pdf, camera, player, recorder, git, dev-center, puter-linux). Idempotent — safe to re-run.
+- `database.migrationPaths` — Puter applies the bundled MySQL/MariaDB schema on boot. The migration files are idempotent, so it is safe to leave this configured across restarts.
 - `dynamo.bootstrapTables: true` — Puter creates its KV table on boot. **Only set against a local emulator**, never real AWS.
 - `dynamo.aws` keys are dummies; DynamoDB-local doesn't validate them but the AWS SDK requires _something_. **Note:** DynamoDB uses `access_key` / `secret_key` (snake_case); S3 below uses `accessKeyId` / `secretAccessKey` (camelCase). Not interchangeable.
 - `providers.ollama.enabled: false` — Puter auto-probes a local Ollama at `127.0.0.1:11434` by default; without one running you'd see `ECONNREFUSED` on every boot. To run a bundled Ollama, see [Optional: local LLM (Ollama)](#optional-local-llm-ollama) below.

+### PostgreSQL database
+
+> **Community contribution — expect rough edges.** PostgreSQL support was contributed by the community and is not run by Puter.com production. It boots, applies the bundled schema, and exercises the common user/app/fsentry/session/permission/OIDC flows in the integration tests, but less-traveled SQL call sites may still need porting. If you hit a query that doesn't work on Postgres, please open an issue. For production self-hosting today, MariaDB/MySQL and SQLite are the supported defaults.
+
+The bundled Docker Compose stack still defaults to MariaDB. To use PostgreSQL instead, run a PostgreSQL service yourself, point Puter at it, and use the PostgreSQL migration path:
+
+```json
+"database": {
+    "engine": "postgres",
+    "host": "postgres",
+    "port": 5432,
+    "user": "puter",
+    "password": "...",
+    "database": "puter",
+    "migrationPaths": ["/opt/puter/dist/src/backend/clients/database/migrations/postgres"]
+}
+```
+
+You may use `"connectionString": "postgres://puter:...@postgres:5432/puter"` instead of the host/user/password fields. Puter only needs normal PostgreSQL connection details and the migration path; CloudNativePG is one possible Kubernetes operator, but no operator-specific manifests are required by Puter.

+ * database. `this.clients.clickhouse` is therefore typed as optional and is
+ * `undefined` in default and self-hosted setups; callers MUST branch on its
+ * presence and fall back to SQL.
+ *
+ * A production deployment can register a real ClickHouse client via an
+ * extension (`extension.registerClient('clickhouse', client)`) to offload the
+ * analytics queries off the primary database and keep the stats path fast at
+ * scale. When registered, the instance flows into `this.clients.clickhouse`
+ * everywhere it's typed.
+ *
+ * Only the surface the stats path actually consumes is declared here. Extend
+ * this interface (don't widen to `any`) when a new query shape is needed.

+-- key for an active worker session is therefore
+-- (user_id, app_uid, worker_name), and app_uid is allowed NULL for
+-- user-scoped workers that aren't bound to any specific app.
+--
+-- Implemented the same way as `app_unique_key` from mig_9: a VIRTUAL

+-- UNIQUE indexes, so soft-revoked / non-worker rows fall out
+-- automatically. IFNULL normalises NULL `app_uid` so two user-scoped

- * Routes driver RPC calls through a unified HTTP surface.
- *
- * - `POST /drivers/call` — invoke `<iface>.<method>(args)` on the
- *   registered driver after a per-actor permission + rate-limit check.
- *   Stream-shaped results are piped directly; everything else is
- *   returned as JSON.
- * - `GET /drivers/list-interfaces` — enumerate registered driver
- *   interfaces with their default + alternate implementations.
- * - `GET /drivers/xd` — legacy iframe bridge; serves an HTML page that
- *   proxies `postMessage` RPCs to `/drivers/call` on the same origin.
- *
- * Holds an internal iface → driverName → instance map built at
- * construction time from `this.drivers`. Extensions that register
- * additional drivers end up in that bag before this controller is
- * instantiated, so they show up here automatically.

+ *
+ * The on-disk JSON shape:

+ *     }

+ *
+ * Other static-hosting platforms (Vercel `vercel.json`, Netlify/Amplify

+ * parsers can normalize to it without churning the consumer in
+ * `puterSite.ts` — see `SITE_CONFIG_FILENAMES` for the lookup list.
+ *
+ * Security posture (every input here originates from a user-uploaded file
+ * served on the open internet):
+ *   - the on-disk file is size-capped before parse (`MAX_CONFIG_BYTES`),
+ *   - JSON parsing is wrapped in try/catch — a malformed file silently
+ *     falls back to default behavior, never 5xx,
+ *   - every `file` value is normalized as if it were a URL path: it must
+ *     start with `/`, gets `pathPosix.normalize`d so `..` is collapsed,
+ *     and is re-anchored under the site root before any FS lookup,
+ *   - status codes are clamped to a strict allow-list (the request side
+ *     only honours 4xx/5xx error keys; the response side validates the
+ *     `status` is a legitimate HTTP integer),
+ *   - the config file itself is hidden from public serving by the caller
+ *     (`isSiteConfigPath`) — same status/body as any other missing path,
+ *     no separate 403 that would leak its existence.
+ *
+ * Loop safety is the consumer's responsibility: when serving an error
+ * page, do NOT re-consult `errors` if the error page itself is missing,
+ * otherwise a misconfigured site could spin a 404→404→404 cycle.
