- [ ] Rate limiting per visitor in Envoy needs the client's address, which
node001 loses: it passes TLS through, so every request arrives from

- [ ] Rate limiting per visitor in Envoy, on hold. Since PR #50
(2026-10-26) node001 passes the visitor's address on with the PROXY
protocol, and the apps see it: authentik logs it, Apache logs it for
WordPress, so Wordfence's lockout after 20 failed logins now hits one
visitor instead of everyone. Envoy Gateway's local rate limit can't
count per address (no `Distinct`); that takes its global rate limit,
with a Redis and a ratelimit service next to it. Not worth two more
components on the one node while the apps' own limits work
