+# Mesh-only vhost for vibe-kanban, fronted by the hanzalova edge proxy (office site).
+# Cert: internal `lair` CA, minted from the operator box and renewed by
+# step@kanban.timer (architecture internal-tls.md — dot-free instance label).
+# Whole-app reverse proxy to the vibe-kanban remote-server on bob, which serves
+# both its API and the built SPA. Mirrors the hermes.internal vhost pattern.

+#
+# TLS terminates here, not in the app: upstream's compose puts Caddy in front for
+# Let's Encrypt, which we drop entirely — this is a mesh-only name on the internal
+# CA. remote-server is told SERVER_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://kanban.internal so the
+# links it generates match what the client actually reached.
+#
+# Electric streams shape updates over long-lived HTTP; the long read timeout and
+# disabled buffering below are what keep those from being cut or batched.
+
+# The relay is a separate service on the same host. It is mounted on a PATH of
+# this vhost rather than given its own name: every relay URL on both sides is
+# composed as {base}/v1/..., and the relay has no notion of its own public
+# address, so a prefix is invisible to it. Same-origin also means no CORS and no
+# second certificate -- and a future kanban.l4ir.net inherits the relay by
+# copying the location block below.
