Lukas 18036d53bf Fix issue #31: Make schedule reschedule deterministic and observable
Replace fire-and-forget reschedule pattern with proper async/await:
- Changed reschedule() from fire-and-forget to awaitable async function
- Errors are now properly propagated instead of silently failing
- Added structured logging for reschedule start and completion
- Schedule updates are now deterministic and observable to callers

Changes:
- app/tasks/blocklist_import.py: Convert reschedule to async, remove asyncio.ensure_future
- tests/test_tasks/test_blocklist_import.py: Add tests for error propagation and logging
- Docs/Features.md: Document scheduling reliability guarantees

All 15 blocklist_import tests pass with 100% coverage.

## 31) Fire-and-forget reschedule may fail silently
- Where found:
- [backend/app/tasks/blocklist_import.py](backend/app/tasks/blocklist_import.py#L108)
- Why this is needed:
- Schedule update requests can succeed while background reschedule fails.
- Goal:
- Make schedule updates deterministic and observable.
- What to do:
- Await reschedule path or persist task outcome status and surface errors.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Blocking request path might add latency if scheduler is busy.
- Docs changes needed:
- Document scheduling reliability guarantees.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Features.md](Docs/Features.md)

## 32) RateLimiter cleanup function is not scheduled/used
- Where found:
- [backend/app/utils/rate_limiter.py](backend/app/utils/rate_limiter.py#L84)
- [backend/app/startup.py](backend/app/startup.py)
- Why this is needed:
- Rate limiter state can grow over long runtimes.
- Goal:
- Ensure periodic cleanup or bounded memory strategy.
- What to do:
- Add scheduled cleanup or auto-eviction structure.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Cleanup cadence too frequent can add overhead.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add operational notes for auth throttling lifecycle.
- Doc references:
- [backend/app/utils/rate_limiter.py](backend/app/utils/rate_limiter.py)

## 33) Trusted proxy configuration is hardcoded in auth router
- Where found:
- [backend/app/routers/auth.py](backend/app/routers/auth.py#L46)
- [backend/app/utils/client_ip.py](backend/app/utils/client_ip.py)
- Why this is needed:
- Incorrect client IP extraction can break per-IP rate limiting behind proxies.
- Goal:
- Move trusted proxies to validated runtime config.
- What to do:
- Add settings for trusted proxy IPs/CIDRs.
- Validate and use these in client IP extraction.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Over-trusting headers can enable spoofing.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add reverse-proxy deployment configuration section.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Instructions.md](Docs/Instructions.md)
---
## 34) Setup redirect allowlist uses broad prefix matching
- Where found:
- [backend/app/main.py](backend/app/main.py#L434)
- Why this is needed:
- Prefix-based allow rules are fragile for future route additions.
- Goal:
- Use exact path or route-level allow policy.
- What to do:
- Replace startswith matching with explicit allowlist checks.
- Possible traps and issues:
- API docs and setup flow paths must remain reachable.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add setup guard route policy documentation.
- Doc references:
- [backend/app/main.py](backend/app/main.py)

## 35) API client sends JSON and CSRF header for every request method
- Where found:
- [frontend/src/api/client.ts](frontend/src/api/client.ts)
- Why this is needed:
- Extra headers on GET increase unnecessary CORS preflights and noise.
- Goal:
- Apply headers by method/body requirements.
- What to do:
- Only set Content-Type for requests with JSON body.
- Send CSRF header for mutating cookie-authenticated requests only.
- Possible traps and issues:
- CSRF protection assumptions must still hold for all mutating paths.
- Docs changes needed:
- Update frontend API client contract and CSRF notes.
- Doc references:
- [backend/app/middleware/csrf.py](backend/app/middleware/csrf.py)

## 36) Polling continues when tab is not visible
- Where found:
- [frontend/src/hooks/usePolledData.ts](frontend/src/hooks/usePolledData.ts#L90)
- [frontend/src/hooks/useBlocklistStatus.ts](frontend/src/hooks/useBlocklistStatus.ts)
- Why this is needed:
- Unnecessary backend load and client resource usage in background tabs.
- Goal:
- Pause/reduce polling when page is hidden.
- What to do:
- Add visibility-aware polling strategy and optional backoff.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Data may appear stale immediately after tab restore if refresh is delayed.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add frontend polling lifecycle policy.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Web-Development.md](Docs/Web-Development.md)

## 37) Multi-worker safety check depends on one environment variable
- Where found:
- [backend/app/startup.py](backend/app/startup.py#L61)
- Why this is needed:
- Other process managers can still launch multiple workers without this variable.
- Goal:
- Enforce scheduler single-executor safety regardless of launcher.
- What to do:
- Add robust single-run lock/leader mechanism for scheduler ownership.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Locking strategy must be reliable in container orchestration.
- Docs changes needed:
- Expand deployment constraints and supported run modes.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Architekture.md](Docs/Architekture.md)

## 38) History archive query paths may need explicit indexing plan
- Where found:
- [backend/app/db.py](backend/app/db.py)
- [backend/app/repositories/history_archive_repo.py](backend/app/repositories/history_archive_repo.py)
- Why this is needed:
- Large archive datasets can degrade filter/sort performance.
- Goal:
- Add indexes aligned with real query patterns.
- What to do:
- Benchmark common history queries.
- Add migration with targeted indexes.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Extra indexes increase write cost and DB size.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add DB performance/indexing section for history.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Backend-Development.md](Docs/Backend-Development.md)
- https://www.sqlite.org/queryplanner.html

## 39) No explicit DI container strategy for backend service graph
- Where found:
- [backend/app/dependencies.py](backend/app/dependencies.py)
- [backend/app/services](backend/app/services)
- Why this is needed:
- Dependency construction and lifecycle are partly implicit.
- Goal:
- Define a clear dependency wiring pattern for services and repositories.
- What to do:
- Create service composition root pattern and document usage.
- Possible traps and issues:
- Over-engineering if container abstraction is too heavy for current size.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add dependency wiring chapter.
- Doc references:
- [Docs/Architekture.md](Docs/Architekture.md)

## 40) Frontend and backend observability are not aligned
- Where found:
- [backend/app/main.py](backend/app/main.py)
- [frontend/src](frontend/src)
- Why this is needed:
- Backend uses structured logging while frontend error telemetry is mostly local and ad-hoc.
- Goal:
- Define unified error telemetry and correlation approach.
- What to do:
- Introduce frontend error reporting pipeline and request correlation IDs.
- Possible traps and issues:
- PII/sensitive payload leakage risk in client-side telemetry.
- Docs changes needed:
- Add observability and privacy-safe logging guidelines.
