Skip the Secure flag on the session cookie when the request comes from
a loopback address (localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1). The Docker image sets
NODE_ENV=production which always enabled Secure, but browsers silently
drop Secure cookies on plain HTTP — breaking the admin panel for
self-hosted users accessing http://localhost:3000.
Fixes#129
Gate messages now propagate via the Infonet hashchain as encrypted blobs — every node syncs them
through normal chain sync while only Gate members with MLS keys can decrypt. Added mesh reputation
system, peer push workers, voluntary Wormhole opt-in for node participation, fork recovery,
killwormhole scripts, obfuscated terminology, and hardened the self-updater to protect encryption
keys and chain state during updates.
New features: Shodan search, train tracking, Sentinel Hub imagery, 8 new intelligence layers,
CCTV expansion to 11,000+ cameras across 6 countries, Mesh Terminal CLI, prediction markets,
desktop-shell scaffold, and comprehensive mesh test suite (215 frontend + backend tests passing).
