+### Authentication Middleware (October 2025)
+
+An authentication middleware component was added to the FastAPI
+application to centralize token parsing and provide lightweight
+protection of authentication endpoints:
+
+-   `src/server/middleware/auth.py` implements:
+    -   Bearer JWT parsing and session attachment to `request.state.session`
+    -   A simple per-IP in-memory rate limiter applied to
+        `/api/auth/login` and `/api/auth/setup` (default 5 requests/minute)
+
+Notes:
+
+-   This is intentionally simple and designed for single-process
+    deployments. For production use across multiple workers or hosts,
+    replace the in-memory limiter with a distributed store (e.g. Redis)
+    and add a persistent token revocation list if needed.

 ## Core Tasks
 
-### 2. Authentication System
-
-#### Create authentication service (completed)
-
-The authentication service has been implemented in
-`src/server/services/auth_service.py`. It provides master password setup
-and validation, JWT token issuance and decoding, in-memory failed
-attempt tracking with temporary lockout, and basic password strength
-checks. For persistence of the master password hash and token revocation
-we recommend adding a config store or database in a follow-up task.
-
-#### [] Create authentication middleware
-
--   []Create `src/server/middleware/auth.py`
--   []Implement JWT token validation
--   []Add request authentication checking
--   []Include rate limiting for auth endpoints
-
 ### 3. Configuration Management
 
 #### [] Implement configuration models
