+### [~] P6-4 · Hygiene sweep - TRIMMED (2026-07): security headers only
+
+**Shipped:** HSTS + Permissions-Policy on the real prod nginx (`matrix/cinny/nginx.conf`, already had X-Frame/CSP/Referrer) + synced the `contrib/nginx` + `contrib/caddy` examples (also fixed the caddy `try_files` SPA fallback). Permissions-Policy allows `self` for the features the app uses (camera/mic/display-capture/geolocation/autoplay/fullscreen), denies unused. **User must `nginx -s reload` on the LXC + verify calls/location still work.**
+**WON'T-DO (rationale):** patch-package migration - the current `patch-folds.mjs` is already robust (fails hard on drift) and patch-package would be more brittle to folds restructuring; `types/matrix` drift - risky spot-fixes with no concrete bug; build-config streamlining - build is already ~5s. Known follow-up: nginx `add_header` isn't inherited by the cache `location` blocks (pre-existing; the SPA entry `/` still gets all headers, so HSTS is delivered).

 - `patch-folds.mjs` (edits `node_modules` directly) → `patch-package`.
 - `contrib/nginx` + `contrib/caddy`: security headers (HSTS/CSP), `try_files` over rewrites, fix the caddy placeholder path.
