The previous commit documented the clock-zone requirement as "the zone must match the egress IP's country". Re-measuring against the deployment case shows that is wrong. The original inference came from reading the host's /etc/timezone (Asia/Bangkok) and assuming the egress IP was Thai. It is not: this host egresses from an Indonesian IP. Asia/Bangkok cleared the challenge not because it matched a country but because it is simply not UTC, and the two share +07, which hid the distinction. Measured 2026-08-08, identical container, one Indonesian egress IP: TZ=UTC never cleared (60s, twice) TZ=Asia/Jakarta cleared in 4s TZ=America/New_York cleared in 4s America/New_York matches neither the country nor the offset nor the hemisphere, and clears just as fast. So a UTC clock is itself the bot signal - Cloudflare scores it as the datacenter default - and any real zone satisfies the check. This makes the knob considerably less fragile than documented: BROWSER_TZ needs a plausible zone, not a geolocated one, and a deployment that moves region does not have to keep it in sync. Comments in chrome/entrypoint.sh and docker-compose.yml, the hard constraint in AGENTS.md, and the PR description are corrected accordingly. BROWSER_TZ is also documented in .env.example for the first time, which is the file an operator actually copies - the setting decides whether kagane works at all, and a UTC server (the common case) is exactly the one that fails with it unset. Re-verified against the shipped image with TZ=Asia/Jakarta: TestSmokeKaganeImage PASS (5.00s, 56710 bytes of image/webp), TestSmokeKaganeGet PASS (1.24s, status 200).

Guidance for OpenCode (and Claude Code) working in this repo.
What this is
Read-progress tracker for two libraries — manga and novels — behind one self-hosted Go backend. Two separate Violentmonkey userscripts inject on-page UI (floating button + slide-in panel) and sync progress, so bookmarks unify across sites and devices:
manga-bookmark.user.js— asurascans.com (current domain; asuracomic.net 301s here), demonicscans.org, comix.to, kagane.to.novel-bookmark.user.js— novelfull.com, lightnovelworld.net.
One backend, one bookmarks table: a kind column (manga|novel) splits the libraries and the web UI switches between them. Rows are keyed <site>:<series_id>.
Hard constraints (drive design — don't violate)
Userscript targets Violentmonkey, so GM_* APIs available, but stay GM-free where plain web APIs suffice — keeps portability across engines:
- Avoid
GM_*unless needed. Prefer pagelocalStorageoverGM_setValue/GM_getValue, on-page UI overGM_registerMenuCommand, plainfetch()overGM_xmlhttpRequestfor cross-origin. - Cross-origin
fetch()work only against CORS-enabled backend. Manga siteshttps://, so backend must be HTTPS (else mixed-content block). - Every site is its own origin with its own
localStorage— a shared remote store is the only way to unify bookmarks. Cloud sync required, not optional. - Userscript run in isolated world, so embedded API token safe from site's JS.
- Cloudflare's block on manga sites IP-reputation-based, not universal — and not reliably reproducible. Verified 2026-07-26: plain
curlfrom both CGNAT dev machine and deployed VPS got clean 200s with real HTML on both asurascans.com and demonicscans.org (homepage, series, chapter pages) — no interactive Turnstile challenge from either IP at test time. Contradicts earlier untested assumption CGNAT dev IP blocked; wasn't, at least this date. Treat "does curl work right now" as live, time-varying fact to re-check, not fixed property of machine — Cloudflare's bot scoring can flip previously-clean IP without notice. Backend fetcher still needs graceful-degrade path for when challenged, and adapters should be verified against live pages (Playwright MCP, on-device devtools, direct probe) before finalizing, not assumed from single earlier test. - kagane.to and novelfull.com are the exception to the above — both sit behind a Cloudflare JavaScript challenge no TLS fingerprint clears, so the backend polls them over CDP (
BROWSER_WS_URL) and skips them entirely when that's unset. The four other sites poll fine over plain TLS. - The CDP sidecar must look like a real browser, and stock headless images don't. Measured 2026-08-08 against kagane.to, all from the same IP:
chromedp/headless-shell:stablenever cleared the challenge in 90s (navigator.webdrivertrue, empty plugin list, Chromium-branded client hints — suppressingwebdriveralone changed nothing);zenika/alpine-chromeships Chrome 124, refused outright; real Chrome with the default--headless=newUA never cleared, because the UA saysHeadlessChrome; real Chrome with a stock UA and a non-UTC clock zone cleared in ~4s. Hencechrome/— a Debian image withgoogle-chrome-stable, a version-derived UA, andTZ/BROWSER_TZ. Chrome reads the zone name through ICU from/etc/localtime's symlink target, ignoring the file's contents, so mounting the host's/etc/localtimedoes not work;/etc/timezoneis mounted instead. - UTC is the tell, not a country mismatch. A UTC clock is the datacenter default, so Cloudflare scores it as one; any real zone clears. Measured 2026-08-08, identical container, one Indonesian egress IP: UTC never cleared in 60s (twice), while
Asia/JakartaandAmerica/New_Yorkboth cleared in 4s. An earlier note here claimed the zone had to match the egress IP's country — that was wrong, inferred from the host clock (Asia/Bangkok) rather than the measured egress.BROWSER_TZtherefore needs a plausible zone, not a geolocated one. - A challenged page needs the tab kept open. The interstitial takes seconds to solve and only then writes clearance into the browser's shared cookie jar. Navigate-read-close never clears anything;
BrowserFetcher.runholds one tab and re-reads until the payload arrives.
Architecture
Two Violentmonkey userscripts (isolated world, per-site adapters, localStorage cache)
-- fetch() HTTPS --> reverse proxy (TLS + CORS) --> Go net/http --> Postgres (volume)
Backend-specific architecture (packages, endpoints, poller, config env vars) lives in backend/AGENTS.md. Userscript-specific structure (adapters, retry queue, UI, live URL shapes) lives in userscript/AGENTS.md.
Commands
Backend (cd backend):
- Test all:
go test ./...— needs Docker. Each test package starts a throwawaypostgres:17-alpinecontainer (internal/pgtest). - Single test:
go test -run TestName ./... - Build static binary:
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build
Local stack: docker compose up (bookmark-api + postgres + headless-shell; postgres-data named volume, restart: unless-stopped). The headless-shell service keeps its name but now builds chrome/ — real Google Chrome, for the reason in the hard constraints above.
Live CDP proof (needs a sidecar and network, skipped otherwise):
SMOKE_BROWSER_WS_URL=ws://<host>:<port> go test -run TestSmokeKagane ./internal/latest
— fetches a real kagane cover and chapter list. A red run means the challenge is
not clearing from this IP, which is a live fact to re-check, not necessarily a defect.
Smoke test: curl endpoints with Authorization: Bearer <token>; confirm OPTIONS preflight return CORS headers and /healthz return 200.
Forge: Gitea, not GitHub
origin is self-hosted Gitea instance (gitea.violetcrown.my.id), so gh don't work here — use tea (Gitea CLI) for anything past plain git. Common ones:
- Open PR:
tea pr create --head <branch> --base main --title "..." --description "..." - List / view / check out:
tea pr list,tea pr <n>,tea pr checkout <n> - Issues:
tea issue create,tea issue list - Auth lives in
tea login, notGH_TOKENenv var.
tea print output as rendered boxes rather than plain text; PR URL lands on last line.
Design system
Web UI + userscript panel follow Cinder, rules in docs/design-system.md
— source of truth Claude Design project BookmarkManager Web UI
(969ac210-fe02-4c01-ae1b-9a271dcc779a). Read it before touching
backend/internal/web/static/style.css, backend/internal/web/templates/*, or userscript
TEMPLATE/CSS. Core law: ember means new chapter only — no other
state (busy, error, destruction) may use --ember; destruction gets
--danger. No cards/corners/shadows, one --measure: 760px column, tokens
only (never hardcode hex outside :root), both colour branches touched
together. Any move that pulls series out of list (archive/finish/remove)
must be confirm-gated via its own .confirm-row; only restore fires
instantly.
Security invariants
Existing guarantees — don't regress:
- Auth on
/bookmarks*: requireAuthorization: Bearer <credential>— the acting Reader's credential, matched by SHA-256 againstreaders.token_sha256— constant-time compare (via the hash, never the secret itself), 401 otherwise. - CORS: reflect
Originonly when inALLOWED_ORIGINS; allowGET,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS+ headersAuthorization,Content-Type; answer preflightOPTIONSwith204.
Secure coding rules (code you write here)
Anchored to OWASP Top 10 / ASVS. Every rule below already has a working example in-tree — match it, don't start a second convention. AI-written backends fail on exactly these: broken access control, injection, weak session/error handling, invented dependencies.
Go backend:
- SQL always parameterized (
$N). Only compile-time constants (bookmarkColumns) may be concatenated into query text — never a request value, not even a validated one. html/templateonly for anything a browser parses, nevertext/template. Never wrap stored or fetched strings intemplate.HTML/JS/URL; that switches off the escaping every template depends on.- Any outbound fetch of a client-supplied URL passes
fetchableSeriesURL(site +https+ host check) first.series_urlarrives in a PUT body, so without the gate the poller will probe arbitrary hosts from the server's own network position. New fetch path reuses the gate rather than re-deriving one. - Cap every remote body with
io.LimitReader(maxBodyBytes). An unbounded read is an OOM handed to whatever is on the other end. - Compare secrets with
hmac.Equal/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare, never==. A credential is matched by the SHA-256 thereaderstable holds, which is already a fixed-width equality — a new secret comparison must not regress to==. - Errors: generic text to the client (
http.Error(w, "internal error", 500)), detail tolog.Printf. Never logTOKEN_KEY, a Reader's credential,DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET, a session id, or a wholeAuthorizationheader. - Proxy headers are trusted only where they already are:
X-Forwarded-Protofor the Secure cookie flag, rightmostX-Forwarded-Forfor client IP (leftmost is attacker-supplied). Don't read either anywhere else. - Session cookies keep
HttpOnly,SameSite,Secure-when-HTTPS; expiry is enforced by thesessionstable lookup, not a signature. - Stdlib crypto only. No hand-rolled hashing, no MD5/SHA-1 anywhere security-bearing.
- Validate at the handler boundary before storing: body capped by
http.MaxBytesReader(64 KB), emptykeyand unknownstatus/kindrejected with400. A bad value that reaches the store becomes every later reader's problem.
Userscript:
- Site-derived and stored strings render via
el(..., {text})/textContent.{html}andinnerHTMLare for author-written literal markup only (TEMPLATE,CSS) — never a title, chapter label, or API response field. The page DOM belongs to a third-party site; treat it as attacker-controlled. - Isolated world protects the credential from the site's JS. It does not protect anything from an
innerHTMLsink you add yourself. - The userscripts carry
__API_TOKEN__placeholders, substituted at serve time with the requesting Reader's credential (internal/userscript). Never put a real credential in the repo, docs, commit messages, or issues. Rotation is a web-UI action (epoch bump,internal/token);TOKEN_KEYin backend env is what derives every credential — never log it. fetch()targetsAPI_BASEonly — no dynamic origin, no site-supplied URL.authHeaders()goes nowhere but the backend.localStorageis shared with the site's own JS: cache and queue live there, credentials never do.- Wrap every
localStorageread/write andJSON.parsein try/catch (quota, private mode, corrupt entry), as the existing helpers do.
Dependencies: stdlib first; a new module needs a stated reason. Confirm a package actually exists before adding it — a plausible name may be fiction (~20% of LLM-proposed packages don't resolve, which is how slopsquatting lands). Pin exact versions.
Review gate: auth, CORS, session, crypto, and the fetch gate are security-critical. Editing one is not a drive-by change — say which invariant you preserved and run go test ./... before calling it done.
Comments
Comment only if code alone can't carry info. Cost per read — must earn spot.
Write for:
- Why not what. Tradeoffs, non-obvious decisions.
- Load-bearing detail looking incidental — say so if "simplify" breaks it.
- Non-local consequence, invisible from function alone.
- Wire format / encoding / interface contract — save callers re-deriving.
- Gotcha/workaround, with ref if exists.
- Domain/business rule not derivable from code.
Skip:
- Restating code (no
// increment iabovei++). - Trivial getter/setter/pass-through.
- Banners, dividers,
// helpers. - Change narration (
// fix bug,// as requested,// new impl) — git's job. - Commented-out code — delete.
- TODO without concrete action.
Style: one dense comment over function beats one per line inside. Tight, no worked example unless bug subtle. Wrong comment worse than none — update/delete on change. Default fewer — sparse+high-signal beats comprehensive.
Test: "competent reader get this from code in few sec?" Yes → skip. Needs detour through another file/spec/git-blame → write it.

Issue tracker
Issues live as Gitea issues on gitea.violetcrown.my.id (sulthan/mangaBookmark), driven by the tea CLI — not gh. See docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.
Triage labels
Default five-role vocabulary, label strings unchanged (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix). See docs/agents/triage-labels.md.
Domain docs
Single-context: one root CONTEXT.md plus docs/adr/, both created lazily. See docs/agents/domain.md.
graphify
Project has knowledge graph at graphify-out/ with god nodes, community structure, cross-file relationships.
Rules:
- For codebase questions, first run
graphify query "<question>"when graphify-out/graph.json exists. Usegraphify path "<A>" "<B>"for relationships andgraphify explain "<concept>"for focused concepts. Return scoped subgraph, usually much smaller than GRAPH_REPORT.md or raw grep output. - If graphify-out/wiki/index.md exists, use for broad navigation instead of raw source browsing.
- Read graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md only for broad architecture review or when query/path/explain don't surface enough context.
- After modifying code, run
graphify update .to keep graph current (AST-only, no API cost).
Notes
- Keep comms terse — drop articles, fluff, pleasantries. Code/commits/security written normally.
