The untrusted header problem could potentially be fixed by having the reverse proxy embed all the trusted information in a specific header, and then it just has to make sure that one header is stripped from the request. Unfortunately, there

Not for the student. But at least in some states, parents can potentially face jail time if their children miss enough school.

I agree with the general idea, but I would like this header to be more fine grained than just a binary "adult" or not. For example, so that you can distinguish between content that is age appropriate for teenagers and older from c

Part of the problem is that fossil is very opinionated. It's great if your development flow is similar to that of the sqlite team. But it is very difficult to get it to work for other workflows. And in particular, fossil is designed

I think it is probably a combination of: - Switching to Azure - Adding more AI features - Using AI more for development - Higher load caused by AI agents Three of those are top-down direction from MS.

You should allow the user to supply the epsilon value, because the precision needed for the assertion will depend on the use case.
