Context

Roadmap item: P1 - Security hardening

api.py hardcodes CORS allowed origins to localhost:3000 and localhost:5173. This means the dashboard cannot communicate with the API when deployed behind a real domain.

Work to do

  1. Add a CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable (comma-separated list of origins) to config.py.
  2. Update api.py to read CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS and pass it to the CORS middleware.
  3. Default to http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:5173 if the variable is unset, preserving existing local dev behavior.
  4. Update docker-compose.yml to show the new variable as a commented example.
  5. Update README.md or relevant docs to document the variable.

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://sparc.example.com causes that origin to be permitted.
  • When unset, the existing localhost origins remain in effect.
  • No hardcoded origin strings remain in api.py.

Resolved in codebase. SPARC/config.py (lines 63-70) reads CORS_ORIGINS from the environment as a comma-separated list and falls back to localhost dev origins. SPARC/api.py uses config.cors_origins in the CORS middleware. Closing as implemented.
