fix: login page browser warnings and password manager support
- Make COOP header conditional on development mode to suppress HTTP warnings - Add autocomplete attributes to all email/password inputs for password manager compatibility - Add comprehensive tests for COOP conditional behavior - Update security documentation for COOP, HTTPS requirements, and autocomplete Fixes browser console warnings and improves UX by enabling password managers. All quality gates passed: 85.7% backend coverage, 86.46% frontend coverage, zero security issues, all pre-commit hooks passed. Changes: - Backend: backend/internal/api/middleware/security.go - Frontend: Login, Setup, Account, AcceptInvite, SMTPSettings pages - Tests: Added 4 new test cases (2 backend, 2 frontend) - Docs: Updated security.md, getting-started.md, README.md

## Common Development Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
### Expected Browser Console Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
When developing locally, you may encounter these browser warnings. They are **normal and safe to ignore** in development mode:
|
||||
|
||||
#### COOP Warning on HTTP Non-Localhost IPs
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy policy would block the window.closed call.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When you'll see this:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Accessing Charon via HTTP (not HTTPS)
|
||||
- Using a non-localhost IP address (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:8080`)
|
||||
- Testing from a different device on your local network
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it appears:**
|
||||
|
||||
- COOP header is disabled in development mode for convenience
|
||||
- Browsers enforce stricter security checks on HTTP connections to non-localhost IPs
|
||||
- This protection is enabled automatically in production HTTPS mode
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do:** Nothing! This is expected behavior. The warning disappears when you deploy to production with HTTPS.
|
||||
|
||||
**Learn more:** See [COOP Behavior](security.md#coop-cross-origin-opener-policy-behavior) in the security documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 401 Errors During Authentication Checks
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /api/auth/me → 401 Unauthorized
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When you'll see this:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Opening Charon before logging in
|
||||
- Session expired or cookies cleared
|
||||
- Browser making auth validation requests
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it appears:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Charon checks authentication status on page load
|
||||
- 401 responses are the expected way to indicate "not authenticated"
|
||||
- The frontend handles this gracefully by showing the login page
|
||||
|
||||
**What to do:** Nothing! This is normal application behavior. Once you log in, these errors stop appearing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Learn more:** See [Authentication Flow](README.md#authentication-flow) for details on how Charon validates user sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Mode Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
**Features that behave differently in development:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Security Headers:** COOP, HSTS disabled on HTTP
|
||||
- **Cookies:** `Secure` flag not set (allows HTTP cookies)
|
||||
- **CORS:** More permissive for local testing
|
||||
- **Logging:** More verbose debugging output
|
||||
|
||||
**Production mode automatically enables full security** when accessed over HTTPS.
