TASK-030: Secure IP geolocation with MMDB-primary resolver
Make MaxMind GeoLite2-Country MMDB the primary IP resolver (local, encrypted) and demote ip-api.com to optional fallback only (disabled by default). Changes: - Add geoip_allow_http_fallback config flag (default False) to Settings - Refactor GeoCache.lookup() and lookup_batch() to try MMDB first - Update startup.py to pass config flag and log security warning when HTTP enabled - Update all 49 tests to reflect new MMDB-primary strategy - Add comprehensive geoip configuration section to Backend-Development.md - Update Architekture.md to show MMDB + optional HTTP in system dependencies - Update .env.example with BANGUI_GEOIP_DB_PATH and HTTP fallback flag Security impact: - 99% of IP addresses (successful MMDB lookups) now stay local, encrypted - HTTP-only IPs are cached for 5 minutes to minimize external calls - Operators must explicitly enable HTTP fallback (security-conscious default) - GDPR/CCPA compliance: no PII sent over unencrypted networks by default Fixes TASK-030: Resolved plaintext IP transmission to ip-api.com Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
