Date:   Thu Mar 19 00:03:24 2026 +0000

    feat(httpmw): initial stable release v0.9.0
    
    Standalone net/http middleware for panic recovery, CORS, request ID injection, and request logging.
    
    What's included:
    - Recover(): panic -> 500, captures debug.Stack, no logger required
    - CORS(origins): OPTIONS 204 preflight, origin allowlist, package-wide method/header constants
    - RequestID(generator): injects ID via logz.WithRequestID, sets X-Request-ID response header
    - RequestLogger(logger): logs method/path/status/latency/request_id; Error for 5xx, Info otherwise
    - Logger interface: Info, Error, With — duck-typed; satisfied by logz.Logger
    - StatusRecorder: exported http.ResponseWriter wrapper that captures written status code
    - Direct logz import for context helpers (documented exception to ADR-001)
    
    Tested-via: todo-api POC integration

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this module will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this module adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.9.0] - 2026-03-18
+
+### Added
+
+- `Recover() func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — catches panics from inner handlers via `defer/recover`, captures the stack trace with `debug.Stack`, and writes HTTP 500; requires no configuration or logger injection
+- `CORS(origins []string) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, `Access-Control-Allow-Methods` (`GET, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS`), and `Access-Control-Allow-Headers` (`Content-Type, Authorization, X-Request-ID`) for matching origins; short-circuits OPTIONS preflight requests with HTTP 204; pass `[]string{"*"}` for development environments
+- `RequestID(generator func() string) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — calls `generator` (e.g. `uuid.NewString`) to produce a unique ID per request, stores it in the context via `logz.WithRequestID`, and writes it to the `X-Request-ID` response header
+- `RequestLogger(logger Logger) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — logs method, path, status code, latency, and request ID after the inner handler returns; uses `logger.Error` for 5xx responses and `logger.Info` for all others; reads the request ID from context via `logz.GetRequestID`
+- `Logger` interface — duck-typed logger accepted by `RequestLogger`; satisfied by `logz.Logger`: `Info(msg string, args ...any)`, `Error(msg string, err error, args ...any)`, `With(args ...any) Logger`
+- `StatusRecorder` struct — exported `http.ResponseWriter` wrapper that captures the written status code in its `Status` field; used internally by `RequestLogger` and available for custom logging middleware
+
+### Design Notes
+
+- `RequestID` and `RequestLogger` use `logz.WithRequestID` and `logz.GetRequestID` directly rather than a locally defined context key; this ensures the request ID is visible to any `logz.Logger` that calls `.WithContext(ctx)` downstream, which would break if the key were re-implemented here.
+- `Recover` intentionally requires no logger injection in this release: it captures the stack trace but does not log it, keeping the middleware usable with zero configuration; logger injection is deferred to a future release.
+- No middleware is installed by default; the package exports independent functions and the application chooses the chain and order (recommended: `Recover` → `RequestID` → `RequestLogger` → `CORS`).

+# httpmw
+
+`net/http` middleware for transport-layer concerns: panic recovery, CORS, request ID
+injection, and structured request logging.
+
+## Purpose
+
+`httpmw` provides standalone middleware functions that wrap `http.Handler`. Each
+function addresses one transport concern and is independent of the others. No
+authentication or identity logic lives here — see `httpauth-firebase` for that.
+
+## Tier & Dependencies
+
+**Tier:** 3 (transport layer; depends on Tier 0 `logz`)
+**Module:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpmw`
+**Direct imports:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/logz`
+
+The `logz` import is required for context helpers (`logz.WithRequestID`,
+`logz.GetRequestID`). The `Logger` injection point remains duck-typed. See ADR-001
+for the full justification.
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+- **Direct logz import for context helpers** (ADR-001): `logz.WithRequestID` and
+  `logz.GetRequestID` use an unexported key. Re-implementing the key in `httpmw`
+  would break interoperability with `logz.Logger.WithContext` downstream. This is
+  a documented exception to the global ADR-001 duck-type rule.
+- **Request ID via logz context** (ADR-002): `RequestID` middleware stores the
+  generated ID with `logz.WithRequestID` so it is automatically picked up by any
+  `logz.Logger` that calls `.WithContext(ctx)`. The ID is also written to the
+  `X-Request-ID` response header.
+- **CORS returns 204 for OPTIONS** (ADR-003): Preflight requests are short-circuited
+  with 204 No Content after setting the CORS headers. Non-OPTIONS requests continue
+  to the next handler.
+- **`Recover` requires no logger injection**: It writes 500 and captures the stack
+  trace (via `debug.Stack`) but does not log. The stack is available for future
+  logger injection if needed. This keeps `Recover` usable with zero configuration.
+- **No middleware is installed by default**: The package exports functions, not a
+  pre-configured chain. The application chooses which middleware to use and in what
+  order.
+
+## Patterns
+
+**Recommended middleware order (outermost first):**
+
+```go
+// 1. Recover — must be outermost to catch panics from all inner middleware
+// 2. RequestID — generates ID early so it is available to logger
+// 3. RequestLogger — reads ID from context; logs after inner handlers complete
+// 4. CORS — sets headers before business logic runs
+
+mux.Use(httpmw.Recover())
+mux.Use(httpmw.RequestID(uuid.NewString))
+mux.Use(httpmw.RequestLogger(logger))
+mux.Use(httpmw.CORS([]string{"https://example.com"}))
+```
+
+**Logger interface** (duck-typed; satisfied by `logz.Logger`):
+
+```go
+type Logger interface {
+    Info(msg string, args ...any)
+    Error(msg string, err error, args ...any)
+    With(args ...any) Logger
+}
+```
+
+**StatusRecorder** is exported for use by custom logging middleware that needs to
+inspect the written status code after the inner handler returns:
+
+```go
+rec := &httpmw.StatusRecorder{ResponseWriter: w, Status: http.StatusOK}
+next.ServeHTTP(rec, r)
+fmt.Println(rec.Status)
+```
+
+## What to Avoid
+
+- Do not put authentication, identity checks, or RBAC logic in this package. Those
+  belong in `httpauth-firebase` and operate on `rbac.Identity`.
+- Do not define your own context key for the request ID. Use `logz.WithRequestID`
+  and `logz.GetRequestID` so the ID is visible to logz-enriched log records.
+- Do not rely on `Recover` to log panics — it currently only writes a 500 response.
+  If panic logging is required, wrap `Recover` with a custom middleware that also
+  logs, or wait for logger injection to be added.
+- Do not configure per-route CORS using this middleware. The allowed methods and
+  headers constants are package-wide. Use your router's built-in CORS support if
+  per-route configuration is needed.
+- Do not change the order so that `RequestID` comes after `RequestLogger`. The
+  logger reads the request ID from context; if `RequestID` has not run yet, the ID
+  will be empty in log records.
+
+## Testing Notes
+
+- `compliance_test.go` verifies at compile time that any struct implementing
+  `Info`, `Error`, and `With` satisfies `httpmw.Logger`, and that `StatusRecorder`
+  satisfies `http.ResponseWriter`.
+- `httpmw_test.go` uses `httptest.NewRecorder()` and `httptest.NewRequest()` for
+  all tests — no real network connections.
+- `Recover` can be tested by constructing a handler that panics and asserting the
+  response is 500.
+- `RequestLogger` depends on `logz.GetRequestID`; tests should run the handler
+  through a `RequestID` middleware first, or call `logz.WithRequestID` on the
+  request context manually.
+- `CORS` with `[]string{"*"}` matches any origin — useful for table-driven tests
+  covering allowed vs. rejected origins.

+# ADR-001: Direct logz Import for Context Helpers (Exception to Global ADR-001)
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-18
+
+## Context
+
+Global ADR-001 states that modules receiving a logger from the application layer
+should duck-type the logger injection point with a private interface (e.g.
+`type Logger interface { Info(...); Error(...) }`), so the application is not forced
+to import `logz` just to satisfy a concrete type.
+
+`httpmw` follows this rule for its `Logger` interface in `logger.go`. Any struct
+with the right method set satisfies it.
+
+However, `httpmw` also calls `logz.WithRequestID` (in `requestid.go`) and
+`logz.GetRequestID` (in `logger.go`) to store and read the request ID from context.
+These functions use an **unexported context key type** defined inside `logz`:
+
+```go
+// inside logz — not exported
+type contextKey string
+const requestIDKey contextKey = "request_id"
+```
+
+A context value stored with that key can only be read back with the same key. If
+`httpmw` tried to replicate the storage using its own unexported key, the values set
+by `logz.WithRequestID` would be invisible to `logz.GetRequestID`, and vice-versa —
+breaking the downstream `logz.Logger.WithContext` integration.
+
+## Decision
+
+`httpmw` imports `logz` directly for context helper access (`logz.WithRequestID`,
+`logz.GetRequestID`). This is an **explicit, documented exception** to the
+duck-typed Logger rule in global ADR-001.
+
+The Logger injection point remains duck-typed (`httpmw.Logger` interface in
+`logger.go`). The exception applies only to the two context functions, not to the
+logger parameter of `RequestLogger`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `httpmw` has a direct module dependency on `logz` in its `go.mod`. Upgrading
+  `logz` is a breaking change for `httpmw` if the context helper signatures change.
+- `logz.WithRequestID` and `logz.GetRequestID` form a shared context contract
+  between `httpmw` (which stores the ID) and `logz.Logger` (which reads it when
+  enriching log records). Both sides of the contract must be the same package.
+- Applications that use `httpmw` without `logz` as their logger will still get
+  request IDs injected into the context correctly — `RequestID` middleware works
+  independently. The ID simply won't be picked up automatically by a non-logz logger.
+- This exception must not be used as a precedent for importing logz elsewhere without
+  justification. The rule remains: duck-type logger injection; import logz only when
+  the unexported context key contract requires it.

+# ADR-002: Request ID Injected via logz Context Helpers
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-18
+
+## Context
+
+Each HTTP request should carry a unique identifier that appears in log records,
+error responses, and the `X-Request-ID` response header, so that a single request
+can be traced across log lines.
+
+There are two sub-problems:
+
+1. **Generation and storage**: the middleware must generate an ID and make it
+   available to downstream code via the request context.
+2. **Retrieval for logging**: `RequestLogger` must be able to read the ID from the
+   context to include it in log records.
+
+The naive approach — store the ID under a locally-defined context key — breaks
+interoperability with `logz.Logger.WithContext`, which enriches log records with
+values stored under `logz`'s own unexported key. If a different key is used, logz
+cannot find the ID, and it does not appear automatically in structured log output.
+
+## Decision
+
+The `RequestID` middleware calls `logz.WithRequestID(ctx, id)` to store the
+generated ID in context. `RequestLogger` calls `logz.GetRequestID(r.Context())` to
+retrieve it.
+
+Both functions use the same unexported key inside the `logz` package, guaranteeing
+that the value stored by `RequestID` is the same value retrieved by `RequestLogger`
+and, more importantly, by any `logz.Logger` downstream that calls `WithContext`.
+
+The ID is also written to the `X-Request-ID` response header at the middleware
+level, so clients can correlate responses to requests without parsing log files.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Any `logz.Logger` in the request chain that calls `.WithContext(ctx)` automatically
+  inherits the request ID as a structured log field — no manual plumbing required.
+- The generator function is injected by the caller (`RequestID(generator func() string)`),
+  keeping the ID format flexible (UUID, ULID, or any string).
+- If the same request ID is sent in the `X-Request-ID` request header, it is ignored
+  by `RequestID` — the middleware always generates a fresh ID. Preserving inbound
+  IDs is a separate concern that should be handled explicitly if required.
+- This design requires `httpmw` to import `logz` directly (see ADR-001 for the
+  justification of that exception).
+- Global ADR-003 (context helpers live with data owners) is directly applied here:
+  `logz` owns the request ID context key because the request ID is a logging
+  concern, not an auth or business concern.

+# ADR-003: CORS Preflight Returns 204 No Content
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-18
+
+## Context
+
+CORS preflight requests use the HTTP `OPTIONS` method. Browsers send them before
+cross-origin requests that carry non-simple headers or methods, and they expect a
+response with `Access-Control-Allow-*` headers. The response status code of a
+preflight is not consumed by the browser's fetch algorithm — only the headers
+matter — but the choice of status code affects certain clients and proxies.
+
+Common practice uses either 200 OK or 204 No Content for OPTIONS responses.
+RFC 9110 specifies that 204 indicates "the server has successfully fulfilled the
+request and there is no additional content to send". This is semantically more
+accurate for a preflight: there is no payload, only permission headers.
+
+## Decision
+
+The `CORS` middleware checks `r.Method == http.MethodOptions` after writing the
+CORS headers. If the method is OPTIONS, it calls `w.WriteHeader(http.StatusNoContent)`
+and returns immediately without calling `next.ServeHTTP`. The downstream handler is
+never reached for preflight requests.
+
+Non-OPTIONS requests that pass the origin check continue to `next` with the
+`Access-Control-Allow-Origin` and related headers already set on the response.
+
+If the request origin is not in the allowed list, CORS headers are not set and the
+request continues to `next` unchanged — the browser will block the response at its
+end, but the server does not return an explicit rejection.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 204 is semantically cleaner than 200 for no-body responses, and avoids some
+  proxy caches treating the OPTIONS response as cacheable content.
+- Some legacy clients or API testing tools expect 200 for OPTIONS. If this is a
+  concern, the response status can be changed at the application level by wrapping
+  the `CORS` middleware, but 204 is the default and documented contract.
+- The `allowedMethods` constant (`GET, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS`)
+  and `allowedHeaders` constant (`Content-Type, Authorization, X-Request-ID`) are
+  package-level constants, not configurable per route. Applications with fine-grained
+  per-route CORS requirements should configure their router's CORS support instead.
+- For local development, passing `[]string{"*"}` as `origins` is supported: any
+  origin header is treated as allowed, and CORS headers are set with the actual
+  origin value (not `*`) to support credentials if needed.
