Security, Middlewares, CSP & Sessions

Middlewares

No middleware is configured through .env. In development (RUNIQUE_ENV=dev), no-cache headers are added on localhost; .middleware(|m| m.with_cache(true)) turns them off.

CSP — Configured exclusively via the builder (.with_csp(...)). See CSP. Host validation — Configured exclusively via the builder (.with_allowed_hosts(|h| h.host("..."))). See Host Validation.
