A publicly-exposed instance gated only by the launch PIN was brute-forceable. Added a lenient in-memory failed-attempt limiter (core/security/rate_limit.py): 10 wrong PINs from one IP within 5 min → 429 with Retry-After, failures age out on their own (self-heal, no persistent lockout), and a CORRECT entry clears that IP instantly. Wired into /api/profiles/verify-launch-pin. By design it can only ever trigger on a flood of WRONG PINs — correct entry, a couple of typos, or a no-PIN install are never affected, so normal use sees no change. Keyed per-IP so an attacker can't lock out a legit user. Tests: limiter is lenient under threshold, trips on a flood, success clears it, failures self-heal, per-IP isolation; endpoint returns 429 after 10 wrong PINs with Retry-After. 6 tests pass.

"""Lenient in-memory failed-attempt limiter for the launch-PIN unlock.
|
|
|
|
Brute-force protection for a publicly-exposed instance. Deliberately lenient: only
|
|
a FLOOD of failures from one client trips it, and a single success clears that
|
|
client immediately — so a legitimate user typing their PIN (even with a few typos)
|
|
never hits it. Failures age out on their own, so a tripped client self-heals
|
|
without any persistent lockout state.
|
|
|
|
Keyed by client IP. In-memory is fine here: the launch lock is a coarse gate, not
|
|
per-account auth, and a process restart simply forgets attempts (fail-open, which
|
|
is correct for a self-hosted convenience lock).
