 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Fixed
+- **COOP header console warning on HTTP deployments:** Helmet sends `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin` by default, which browsers silently ignore over HTTP but log as a console error. Disabled via `crossOriginOpenerPolicy: false` — same rationale as the existing HSTS and COEP disables.
+- **Inline script CSP violation from Vite module-preload polyfill:** Vite's production build injects a small inline `<script>` for the module-preload polyfill that was blocked by `script-src 'self'`. Disabled via `build.modulePreload.polyfill: false` in `vite.config.ts` — all modern browsers support `<link rel="modulepreload">` natively.
 - **Blank page on HTTP deployments (root cause — Helmet 8 default CSP):** Helmet 8 merges custom `directives` with its built-in defaults, which include `upgrade-insecure-requests`. The previous fix (PR #59) omitted the directive from the custom object, but Helmet silently re-added it from defaults. The correct fix is `upgradeInsecureRequests: null`, which is the Helmet 8 API for explicitly removing a default directive.
 - **Login loop caused by remote node auth failure:** When a configured remote node had an expired or invalid API token, every proxied request to that node returned 401. Both `apiFetch` and `fetchForNode` treated any 401 as a user session failure and dispatched `sencho-unauthorized`, immediately logging the user out and sending them back to the login page — even after a successful login. Fixed by adding a `proxyRes` handler that stamps all remote-proxied responses with `x-sencho-proxy: 1`; the frontend now only fires `sencho-unauthorized` when this header is absent (i.e., it's a genuine local session failure).
 - **Missing `authMiddleware` on notifications endpoints:** `GET /api/notifications`, `POST /api/notifications/read`, `DELETE /api/notifications/:id`, `DELETE /api/notifications`, and `POST /api/notifications/test` were all missing `authMiddleware`, violating the default-deny policy. Added to all five.
