+- **the scaffold's rate-limit demo keys on the visitor, not the proxy** ([#1388](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1388)) [`ec610c69`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/ec610c69)
+  The rate-limit middleware a generated app receives took the default bucket key,
+  which is the socket peer. Deployed behind anything, that peer is the proxy, and
+  a proxy POOL hands out one full allowance per proxy, so the demo promised five
+  requests per ten seconds and refused nobody. It passes `trustProxy: true` now,
+  and its comments say what the default keys on and what a CDN does to it, since
+  the old `keyed by client IP by default` line is what made the mistake easy to
+  copy. `gallery:clear` also sheds the card's own test alongside the card, so a
+  reset app does not keep a test for a demo it no longer has.
+- **the api template's demo explains the CDN case** ([#1390](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1390)) [`215b8f18`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/215b8f18)
+  The emitted middleware now points at `clientIpHeader` (new in
+  `@webjsdev/server` 0.8.63) and says why it is needed behind a CDN: the default
+  chain reads the leftmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry, which is then the CDN's
+  egress address, pinned per connection, so the limiter buckets connections
+  rather than visitors. The option is left UNSET in the generated app on purpose,
+  because the right header depends on what you deploy behind, and naming the
+  wrong one is a spoofing hazard rather than a no-op.

+- **`rateLimit` can name the header carrying the visitor** ([#1390](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1390)) [`215b8f18`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/215b8f18)
+  `trustProxy: true` was not enough behind a CDN. The default chain starts at the
+  leftmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry, which behind Cloudflare is Cloudflare's
+  EGRESS address rather than the visitor, and those are pinned per connection, so
+  the limiter handed out one bucket per connection. The failure reads as working:
+  a page that pings on a button click holds one connection and counts down
+  correctly, while every fresh connection starts a new window and nobody is ever
+  refused. `rateLimit({ clientIpHeader })` and `clientIp(req, { header })` now
+  name the ONE forwarded header to trust, e.g. `'cf-connecting-ip'`. When set it
+  is the only wire header read, falling back to the stamped peer then `_anon_`; a
+  blank value falls through rather than becoming a bucket key every visitor
+  shares, and a comma chain is split so a proxy that appends cannot mint a bucket
+  per hop. It requires `trustProxy: true`, since naming a header to trust is the
+  trust decision, and `WEBJS_NO_TRUST_PROXY=1` still outranks both. Resolution
+  with no `clientIpHeader` is unchanged: the framework deliberately does NOT
+  prefer `CF-Connecting-IP` on its own, because Cloudflare overwrites that header
+  (unforgeable behind Cloudflare, forgeable everywhere else), so preferring it
+  globally would let a client on an nginx or bare-platform deploy outrank the
+  header the real proxy sets.
