/**
* Regression guard for the QR-login / cookie-save outage (and in fact every
* mutating WebUI action). On 2026-05-27 the WebUI-auth feature added the
* same-origin CSRF gate `app.use("/api", csrfOriginCheck)` in server.ts, and
* the same day a `` was added to
* web/index.html so cross-origin CDN cover thumbnails would load.
*
* Those two changes conflict: per the WHATWG Fetch "Append a request Origin
* header" algorithm, the `no-referrer` policy sets the Origin header to the
* literal string "null" on same-origin non-GET requests. csrfOriginCheck then
* fails to parse a host (`new URL("null")` throws) and returns 403 "bad
* origin", so POST /api/auth/qrcode (and every other POST/PUT/DELETE under
* /api/* except /api/session/*) never reaches its handler.
*
* `same-origin` is the correct policy: it keeps the real Origin on same-origin
* requests (CSRF passes) while still sending no Referer cross-origin (CDN
* thumbnails keep loading). Never switch this back to `no-referrer`.
