Subject: [PATCH] fix(server): harden deployment, media, state, jobs

- Lock down /media/: deny state.json, DBs, sessions; allowlist extensions incl. archives/docs (M-1)
- parse_bool() fixes; HEAD 404; shutdown drains queue; range edge cases (M-3, M-4, M-7, M-8)
- int() coercion -> 400; no filesystem paths in errors; path-only access log (M-19, L-1)
- Security headers, QR TTL 60s, trusted-host allowlist, legacy add/remove via update() (L-4, L-5, L-6, L-8)
- Clean continuous channels on import and migration; restart-during-drain; tombstone managers (F-1, F-3, F-4)
- Durability: fsync + unique tmp + stale sweep + 0600/0700 perms (M-10, M-18)
- Jobs run on dedicated loop thread; set_scrape_media passthrough; media chunked; state throttled;
  exact media file reuse; honest scrape failure status (M-11, M-12, M-13, M-14)
- Health aggregates per-account; legacy GETs delegate post-migration (M-15, M-9)
- k8s: runAsNonRoot 1000 + resource limits, no readOnlyRootFilesystem (M-16)
- UI: dropped-invalid and credentials-reentry toasts; swagger XSS-safe (F-2, L-9, L-2)
- CI: non-blocking pip-audit job in both workflows (L-3)
- 50 tests passing; REVIEW.md updated (C-1/M-20 won't fix: local-only by design)

+### Round-4 residual notes — остаток после четвёртого прохода
+
+Открыто после round 4:
+
+- **F-5** (`channels: null` молча стирает список), **F-6** (`@`-значения с диска никогда не нормализуются), **F-7** (нет верхнего `except` в `_run_loop`), **F-8** (join-timeout / start-during-drain не покрыты тестами) — всё ещё открыты (из round-3 review).
+- **M-20** CSRF-токены — won't fix (auth нет by design).
+- **L-7** прогресс-бар — открыт (косметика).
+- Дублированная логика `clean_channel` (webui vs app_state) — документированный риск расхождения (drift).
+- Экспорт `.json`/`.csv` раздаётся через `/media/` (креды redact — риск низкий).
+- Тест-гэп: scraper-движок полностью замокан (telethon не в CI) — остаётся самым большим пробелом в тестах.
+
+---
+
 ### 🧪 Пробелы в тестах
 
 Покрыто новыми тестами (round 2, +6): deepcopy-изоляция `load()` (все пути), Content-Type/oversize в `read_json_body`, same-origin проверка, rate limiter (lockout + cooldown кода), sweep `_auth_attempts`, терминальные статусы SSE.
