- NewID uses 96 random bits; invite codes get their own 100 bits in Base32.
- Registration and forgot-password are limited per address via loginGuard.
- The invite is claimed atomically before the account is created and
released again when the account cannot be created.

Failed logins are counted per account+address (3), per account (20) and
per address (30) within 15 minutes; a full bucket answers 429 with
Retry-After for 15 minutes. Locking the account+address bucket first
means an attacker cannot lock the owner out from elsewhere. Unknown
names count like accounts. Success clears the account buckets, a
password reset (mail or admin) lifts the lock. LOGIN_PROTECTION=false
switches it off.
chi's RealIP believed X-Forwarded-For from anyone. The client address
now comes from the headers only when the connection is from a trusted
proxy: TRUSTED_PROXIES=private (default: loopback, Docker, LAN), all
(old behaviour), none, or CIDRs. A proxy that sends no client address
is logged once and per-address limits are skipped for it.
