docs(adr-0021): phase-2 security baseline (helmet, CORS, CSRF, rate-limit, error envelope)
Documents the security middleware stack shipped across the five most recent BFF PRs (#115, #117, #120, #122, #123) as a single MADR ADR. Today the rationale lives in code comments and PR descriptions; the next contributor reaching for `csurf`, cookie-only CSRF, or a hardcoded localhost CORS fallback didn't have one place to read why those are wrong here. Contents: - Response envelope: { error: { code, message, traceId } }, single contract across Nest's filter and raw middlewares via the errorResponse() helper. Status-code mapping documented. 500s never leak the underlying exception. - CSRF session-bound double-submit, not cookie-vs-header. The cookie is the SPA's read-only mirror; the source of truth is req.session.csrfToken — subdomain-takeover injection can't bypass. - CORS allowlist env-driven, mandatory, no fallback. Catches the "works in dev breaks in prod" misconfiguration at boot. - Rate limit: sessionID-then-IP bucket key, 10/min auth + 120/min general, /api/health skipped, in-memory v1 store. - Helmet defaults + three overrides (HSTS prod-only, COR cross-origin, CSP prod-only) with code-anchored justifications. Considered options mirror the actual debate — each rejected alternative has its "Bad, because" line so a reader sees why we didn't go that way. Each Decision Outcome line cross-references the file that enforces it. Scope is the IMPLEMENTATION-level baseline. The STRATEGIC baseline (ASVS reference level, HDS / GDPR / NIS 2 framing, RSSI sign-off) remains paused per CLAUDE.md. When it lands it confirms or supersedes pieces of 0021; the ADR is explicit about which choices are tactical. Index entry in docs/decisions/README.md updated in the same commit per the project convention. CLAUDE.md §"Repository status" still says the workspace is "not yet bootstrapped" and refs ADRs up to 0020 — that paragraph is stale (22 ADRs in place, project fully scaffolded). Worth a small dedicated docs PR; out of scope here.
