Context

api.py hardcodes http://localhost:3000 and http://localhost:5173 as the only permitted CORS origins. When deployed behind a real domain the dashboard is blocked by the browser.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P1 > Security hardening > CORS allow-origins are hardcoded

What to do

  1. Add a CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable (comma-separated list of origins).
  2. In api.py, read this variable at startup and use it to configure the CORS middleware. Fall back to the current localhost defaults only when the variable is absent.
  3. Document the new variable in .env.example (or equivalent docs).

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://sparc.example.com causes the server to accept requests from that origin.
  • Omitting the variable retains the existing localhost defaults.
  • No hardcoded origin strings remain in api.py.
