* fix(auth): derive the session cookie Secure flag from the request scheme
SECURE_COOKIES only marked the login cookie Secure when it was explicitly
set to true, so an HTTPS login on an install that never set it handed out a
session cookie the browser is happy to send back in cleartext.
Unset now derives the flag from the request: the connection scheme, which
uvicorn's proxy-headers middleware rewrites for the proxies it trusts, or
X-Forwarded-Proto for a terminator that is not on a trusted address. That
is the same test core/middleware.py already applies before sending HSTS, so
the two stop disagreeing about whether a request arrived over TLS. An
explicit true still forces the flag on and an explicit false turns it off
for an install still answering on both HTTP and HTTPS. Strictly more Secure
flags than before and never fewer.
Empty counts as unset, because docker-compose pinned SECURE_COOKIES=false
for every container; the compose files now pass the variable through
unset, the way FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH already does.
The helper and its decision order come from #3799, which was closed for
being too large to review and whose six replacement PRs dropped this fix.
Part of #3803.
* docs(setup): flag the leftover SECURE_COOKIES=false on upgrades
The old default was false, so an install set up before scheme derivation
can still carry an explicit SECURE_COOKIES=false in its own .env. That
value stays authoritative, so HTTPS logins keep getting a non-Secure
session cookie even after the tracked compose defaults are updated by a
pull. Say so where people look: the security notes and the variable's
own comment in .env.example.

* fix(mcp): stop assuming http://localhost:7000 for the OAuth callback
The MCP OAuth callback origin is wrong on any install not reached at
http://localhost:7000, and on Docker it cannot be corrected at all.
Three sites, one assumption:
- The redirect base fell back to a fixed port 7000. The app binds APP_PORT
natively (app.py, launcher.py) and the macOS launcher defaults to 7860,
where 7000 is AirPlay Receiver, so the callback lands on another service
entirely. The fallback now follows APP_PORT. The hostname stays localhost
rather than internal_api_base()'s 127.0.0.1: this URI is registered with
the authorization server, so changing the host would invalidate the
registrations that already exist.
- The paste-back form hardcoded an http:// action. Serving the page over
HTTPS, Chrome raises its insecure-form interstitial, and overriding that
posts plain HTTP at a TLS port, which fails too. Either way the
authorization code never reaches Odysseus. The action now carries the
scheme the request arrived on.
- OAUTH_REDIRECT_BASE_URL is the only fix available to a Docker install,
because the container listens on 7000 and cannot see the host port map,
but compose never forwarded it and nothing documented it. Both fixed.
* fix(mcp): make the paste-back form action relative and export APP_PORT
Answers the review on #6032. Three of the fixes did not survive contact with
the deployments they targeted.
- The form action derived its scheme from request.url.scheme. uvicorn only
honours X-Forwarded-Proto from a peer inside --forwarded-allow-ips, which
defaults to 127.0.0.1; the Dockerfile CMD sets no override, so a proxy
arriving over the Docker bridge is untrusted and the scheme stays http.
That is mixed content on exactly the HTTPS installs paste-back exists for.
A relative action is resolved by the browser against the origin the page
came from, which is right under every proxy setup, and it drops the Host
header from the page entirely.
- The APP_PORT fallback never fired for the shipped launchers. start-macos.sh,
the generated .app launcher and launch-windows.ps1 all pass --port to
uvicorn without putting the value in the environment, so the motivating
case, macOS on 7860, still registered localhost:7000. Each now exports it.
internal_api_base() and companion pairing read APP_PORT too and were wrong
in the same way.
- .env.example pointed Google MCP servers at OAUTH_REDIRECT_BASE_URL.
add_server writes Desktop App credentials, and Google only accepts loopback
redirects for that client type, so a public origin comes back as
redirect_uri_mismatch. The variable is for the DCR flow; Google stays on the
loopback default and finishes remotely through paste-back.
The Host header is no longer reflected into the page, so the escaping
regression test asserts its absence instead of its escaping.
* fix(docker): migrate retained SearXNG settings
Retained nonempty SearXNG settings can miss defaults required by newer pinned images while bypassing the entrypoint's narrow regeneration checks.
Add an atomic PyYAML-aware migration to all Compose variants. Preserve existing inheritance choices, custom content, secrets, ownership, and mode while inserting only the missing top-level default-inheritance key.
Validated with 39 focused and adjacent tests, compile checks, and fresh and retained pinned-image HTTP 200 gates. Full repository CI remains for the PR.
* fix(docker): chmod the settings temp file before chowning it
The Compose cap set is `cap_drop: ALL` plus CHOWN/SETGID/SETUID/DAC_OVERRIDE
and carries no FOWNER, and searxng's own entrypoint chowns /etc/searxng to
searxng:searxng, so every retained settings file belongs to that user by the
second boot. Chowning the temporary file first left root unable to chmod it,
so the migration exited 1 and `set -eu` killed the container before
`exec /usr/local/searxng/entrypoint.sh` — SearXNG never started and odysseus
blocked on its healthcheck.
Swap the two calls so the chmod lands while the temporary file is still
root-owned, and cover the ordering with a test that refuses the chmod once
the chown has happened, the way the kernel does.
* fix(docker): let searxng boot when the settings migration fails
The migration runs under `set -eu`, so any settings file it cannot parse or
rewrite took the container down instead of merely going unmigrated. A symlinked
/etc/searxng/settings.yml is enough: the migration refuses a non-regular file
and searxng, which reads through the symlink perfectly well, never got to start.
Guard the call with `|| true` in all three Compose variants. The failure still
prints its reason on stderr, and searxng is left to report anything genuinely
wrong with the file.

* fix(config): forward Google OAuth env vars into Docker container and document setup
GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, and GOOGLE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI
were read by the app but never forwarded through docker-compose.yml's explicit
environment allowlist, causing the "not set" error even when the vars existed in .env.
Also adds a documented section to .env.example with step-by-step GCP setup instructions
so users know where to get the credentials.
