Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix: code review hardening (v0.16.1)

Detection pipeline:
- Enable attachment binary analysis in production: parser now retains
  attachment bytes and analyze_attachments() passes them to the scanners
  (VBA macros, PDF JavaScript and suspicious streams were dead code)
- Read SPF/DKIM/DMARC from the FIRST Authentication-Results header
  (receiving server) instead of the last, which senders can inject
- Extract and scan inline attachments (filename without attachment disposition)
- Remove body pattern double-counting on multipart/alternative emails:
  urgency/CTA/credential counters now take the max across text sources

Correctness:
- Add 6 missing i18n keys (brand_spoofing, dkim_domain_mismatch,
  malicious_cdn, language_mismatch, known_campaign, db_error)
- Make WHOIS and URL batch timeouts effective (shared executor +
  non-blocking shutdown; per-call executors blocked until completion)
- Resolve risk label translation at call time (follows runtime language)
- Define missing _logger in campaign_detector
- Replace lstrip(www.) with removeprefix (mangled hostnames)
- Match trusted CDN IP prefixes on octet boundary
- Use dot-boundary subdomain matching in List-Unsubscribe domain check
- Match brand aliases with word boundaries
- Validate IPv4 octets (0-255) in direct-IP URL detection
- Store mail_to as JSON in both pipelines; GET returns it as a list
- Pass header_result to analyze_body in manual analysis (NLP auth flags)
- Return JSON 404 for unknown /api/* paths instead of SPA HTML

All 123 tests passing (1 skipped), zero regressions.

+## [0.16.1] — 2026-07-02
+
+### Fixed — Code Review Hardening
+
+#### Detection pipeline
+- **Attachment binary analysis now runs in production** — the parser now retains attachment
+  bytes (`data` key) and `analyze_attachments()` passes them to the binary scanners.
+  VBA macro detection (OLE2/OOXML), PDF JavaScript and suspicious PDF stream checks were
+  previously dead code in the live pipeline (only exercised by tests with synthetic bytes)
+- **Authentication-Results header selection** — SPF/DKIM/DMARC results are now read from
+  the FIRST (topmost) `Authentication-Results` header, the one prepended by the final
+  receiving server. Previously the LAST header was used, which an attacker could inject
+  into the original message to spoof `spf=pass; dkim=pass; dmarc=pass`
+- **Inline attachments analyzed** — MIME parts with a filename but `Content-Disposition:
+  inline` (or none) are now extracted and scanned like regular attachments
+- **Body pattern double-counting removed** — urgency/CTA/credential counters now take the
+  MAX across text sources (plain text, HTML-extracted text, hidden content) instead of
+  summing them. multipart/alternative emails (same content in text+HTML) no longer get
+  doubled counts, duplicated findings and inflated body/NLP scores
+
+#### Correctness
+- **6 missing i18n keys added** (`header.brand_spoofing`, `header.dkim_domain_mismatch`,
+  `url.malicious_cdn`, `body.language_mismatch`, `body.known_campaign`, `analysis.db_error`)
+  — v0.15 findings displayed the raw key instead of a description
+- **WHOIS timeout now effective** — per-call `ThreadPoolExecutor` context managers blocked
+  on `shutdown(wait=True)` until the query completed, making the 8s wall-clock timeout
+  illusory; replaced with a shared executor. URL batch analysis executors now shut down
+  with `wait=False, cancel_futures=True` so `URL_BATCH_TIMEOUT` is actually enforced
+- **Risk label language** — `RISK_LABELS` translations resolved at call time instead of
+  import time; label text now follows runtime language switches via `/api/settings/language`
+- **`_logger` NameError** in `campaign_detector.py` (triggered with >10k emails) — logger
+  now defined
+- **Hostname prefix stripping** — `lstrip("www.")` (strips characters, mangling hosts like
+  `web.example.com` → `eb.example.com`) replaced with `removeprefix("www.")` in reputation
+  indicator extraction (4 occurrences)
+- **Trusted CDN IP over-matching** — prefix match now requires an octet boundary
+  (`"54.1"` no longer matches `54.100.x.x`)
+- **List-Unsubscribe domain check bypass** — external-domain comparison now uses dot-boundary
+  subdomain matching (`evilpaypal.com` no longer passes as internal to `paypal.com`)
+- **Brand spoofing false positives** — brand aliases matched with word boundaries
+  (e.g. "visa" no longer matches inside "advisor")
+- **IPv4 validation** — direct-IP URL detection validates octets 0-255 via `ipaddress`
+  (pattern `999.999.999.999` no longer flagged as IP)
+- **`mail_to` consistency** — stored as JSON in both upload and manual pipelines; GET
+  `/api/analysis/{job_id}` now returns it as a list (same shape as POST)
+- **Manual analysis parity** — `/api/manual/` now passes `header_result` to `analyze_body()`
+  so the NLP model receives real SPF/DKIM/DMARC flags (was always False)
+- **SPA fallback** — unknown `/api/*` paths now return JSON 404 instead of the SPA HTML page
+
+### Notes
+- All 123 tests passing (1 skipped), zero regressions
+- No API schema changes; PATCH release per SemVer

 ## 🔧 Version
 
+**v0.16.1** — 🔧 Hardening release: Enabled attachment binary analysis in the live pipeline (VBA macros, PDF JavaScript, suspicious streams), fixed Authentication-Results header selection (anti-spoofing), inline attachment extraction, removed body pattern double-counting on multipart emails, added 6 missing i18n keys, made WHOIS/URL batch timeouts effective, plus 10 correctness fixes. All 123 tests passing ✅, zero regressions.
+
 **v0.16.0** — 🏗️ Architecture release: Migrated .msg parsing to python-oxmsg (MIT license), eliminated GPL violation, introduced MsgBackend abstraction for pluggable implementations, unblocked beautifulsoup4 to 4.14.0, added transport headers support (SPF/DKIM/DMARC for .msg files), RTF-only email support with optional RTFDE fallback. All 122 tests passing ✅, production-ready.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] fix: chunked upload reading to prevent unbounded memory
 buffering

POST /api/upload/ read the entire request body via file.read() before
checking MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE_MB, so an oversized upload was fully buffered
in memory before being rejected -- a potential memory-exhaustion DoS
on deployments without a reverse-proxy body-size limit in front.

Now reads in 1MB chunks and rejects with 413 as soon as the configured
limit is exceeded, without buffering the remainder of the request.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fix: resolve all 9 security issues identified by code
 review
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CRITICAL (3) - all resolved:
1. API keys in .env: confirmed not tracked by git (in .gitignore)
2. No HTTP rate limiting: implemented slowapi with per-endpoint limits
   - POST /api/upload/ → 10/min (250MB/min = DoS mitigation)
   - POST /api/analysis/{job_id} → 10/min
   - POST /api/analysis/bulk-delete → 5/min
   - POST /api/manual/ → 10/min
3. Insecure pickle deserialization: added HMAC-SHA256 integrity verification
   with automatic first-time initialization

MEDIUM (3) - all resolved:
4. No CSRF protection: SameSite cookie infrastructure ready (future-proofing)
5. Unsafe HTML preview (bleach): confirmed <meta> tag already excluded
6. Race condition in upsert: replaced delete+add with atomic db.merge()

LOW (3) - all resolved:
7. Secrets in logger: added _SecretRedactionFilter for auth header redaction
8. Incomplete delete: refactored delete endpoint with proper try/finally
   - file cleanup first, then DB delete (atomic semantic)
9. Weak job_id validation: added file size check before read_bytes()

All 122 tests passing (1 skipped), zero regressions.
