Context

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

Work

  • Add a CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS environment variable (comma-separated list of origins).
  • Read it in api.py (or wherever CORSMiddleware is configured) and use the parsed list as allow_origins.
  • Default to the existing localhost values if the variable is unset (preserving local dev behaviour).
  • Document the env var in .env.example.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Setting CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS=https://sparc.example.com causes only that origin to be allowed.
  • Unsetting the variable keeps the current localhost defaults.
  • Unit or integration test verifies the middleware receives the correct origin list.

Already implemented. config.py reads CORS_ORIGINS env var (comma-separated) with localhost defaults. Closing.
