 ## Frontend Runtime
 
 - Frontend no longer consumes `VITE_API_TOKEN`.
+- Vite dev server host allowlist uses the union of:
+  - hostnames extracted from `CORS_ORIGINS`
+  - optional explicit hostnames from `VITE_ALLOWED_HOSTS`
 - Session authentication is cookie-based; browser reloads and new tabs can reuse an active session until it expires or is revoked.
 - Protected media and file download flows still use authenticated fetch plus blob/object URL handling.
