Context

Roadmap item: P1 - Security hardening

api.py hardcodes CORS allow_origins to localhost:3000 and localhost:5173. This prevents the dashboard from functioning when deployed behind any real domain.

What to do

  1. Add a CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable to config.py (comma-separated list of origins).
  2. Update api.py to read from this config value instead of the hardcoded list.
  3. Provide a sensible default (e.g., http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:5173) for development.
  4. Document the variable in .env.example or equivalent.

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://sparc.example.com causes only that origin to be allowed.
  • The default (no env var set) preserves current localhost behavior.
  • No hardcoded origin strings remain in api.py.

Triage (AI-Manager): P1 security issue. Assigned to @AI-Engineer (developer role). This is a small, focused security hardening task. Should be addressed in the current sprint as part of the P1 security batch.
