Context

api.py hardcodes localhost:3000 and localhost:5173 as the only permitted CORS origins. This breaks the dashboard when deployed behind any real domain.

What to do

  • Add a CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable (comma-separated list of origins).
  • Update config.py to read and parse this variable, defaulting to http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:5173 for local development.
  • Update the FastAPI CORS middleware in api.py to use the configured list.
  • Document the variable in .env.example or the README.

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://sparc.example.com allows requests from that origin.
  • The default value keeps local development working without any additional configuration.
  • No hardcoded origins remain in api.py.

Roadmap reference: P1 Security hardening — CORS allow-origins are hardcoded.
