23 hours	Write a session's expiry in whole seconds	Bryce Kwon	-0/+5
	On Lua 5.3 and later a length worked out with a fraction, such as 1.5 * 24 * 60 * 60, is a float, so the signed expiry came out as 1793609024.0, which validate_value refuses, and every login failed. Max-Age took the same .0, which makes a browser ignore it.
23 hours	Say what really differs between the auth filters	Bryce Kwon	-3/+4
	The lookups were never the only difference, since the configuration and trim's place differ as well. The configuration is now set off by blank lines, as in the other extensions, instead of a heading.
23 hours	Drop auth guards for input cgit never sends	Bryce Kwon	-8/+2
	cgit names no repository with an empty string, never nil, so the check that the index stays up proved nothing, and auth-file in fact refuses the index too while its repos file cannot be read. A session_seconds of 0 signs a session that has expired by the time it comes back, so it needs no branch of its own in set_cookie.
23 hours	Strip control characters from the location alone	Bryce Kwon	-9/+6
	set_cookie only ever writes an empty value or a token secure_value built from url-encoded text, digits and hex, so stripping it changed nothing.
23 hours	Drop the URL helpers' guards that cannot fire	Bryce Kwon	-9/+1
	Every caller hands the helpers a string, and a value with a line break is refused by validate_value whether or not CR LF is folded on the way.
23 hours	Keep only the request fields the auth filters read	Bryce Kwon	-21/+5
	Seven of the twelve fields filter_open stored were never read. Naming all twelve parameters keeps the order cgit passes them in on record.
23 hours	Take a signed cookie apart with one match	Bryce Kwon	-41/+5
	The loop let a valid cookie through with a field appended, a doubled separator or a zero in front of its expiry. The payload now carries the expiry as written, so only the spelling secure_value issues verifies.
7 days	Say when a login fails, and line up the form	Bryce Kwon	-8/+22
	A wrong password sent the reader back to the same empty form, which looked no different from a crash. The redirect now carries a flag the form reads, the same for an unknown user as for a wrong password, and the form leaves the flag out of the way back it signs.
2026-10-16	Claim and test Lua 5.5 for every extension	Bryce Kwon	-3/+3
	luaossl from release 20260910 and luaposix load under Lua 5.5, and cgit renders the same pages under it as under LuaJIT. Running the suites there already caught a write to a for loop's control variable, which 5.5 makes read-only.
2026-10-16	Say that a protected repository stays on the index	Bryce Kwon	-0/+4
2026-10-16	Name the auth cookie __Host- where it can be	Bryce Kwon	-2/+10
	Without the prefix any host under the same domain could set a cgitauth cookie of its own, signing a visitor in as someone else or out.
2026-10-16	End a session when its account's hash changes	Bryce Kwon	-29/+44
	A session stayed good for its whole week after the password changed or the account went away, which is when ending it matters most.
2026-10-16	Load auth libraries only when a request needs one	Bryce Kwon	-6/+10
	Required at the top, a missing luaossl or luaposix failed every request to the site, public pages included, and each public page paid to load both.
2026-10-16	Say which hash kinds each system's crypt checks	Bryce Kwon	-2/+13
	The one recipe given, SHA-512 from Debian's mkpasswd, cannot log anyone in on OpenBSD, whose crypt checks only bcrypt, or on macOS, and libxcrypt, which most Linux distributions use, recommends yescrypt instead.
2026-10-16	Spend a missing account's login on a real hash	Bryce Kwon	-9/+14
	The fixed SHA-512 stand-in matched only the documented setup, so a site hashing with yescrypt, other rounds or bcrypt answered for missing and real names in different times, and on OpenBSD it failed at once.
2026-10-16	Turn down passwords past 256 bytes unchecked	Bryce Kwon	-1/+5
	SHA-crypt hashes the password in most of its rounds, so the 4 KB that cgit's POST limit lets through cost about fifteen ordinary logins per anonymous attempt.
2026-10-16	Read the auth cookie in linear time	Bryce Kwon	-5/+21
	Splitting the header with patterns that backtrack over spaces cost a quarter of a second per request at the 8 KB line most web servers allow, and a second at 16 KB, without any login. auth-file's trim had the same shape and now reads the cookie as well.
