+- **Landing page and `/settings/` were silently bypassing the auth
+  guard.** Since 26.11 shipped login, the Caddyfile only
+  reverse-proxied `/api/*`, `/apps*`, `/login*`, and `/logout*` to
+  Python. Everything else — including `/` and `/settings/` — fell
+  through to Caddy's catch-all `file_server` and was served straight
+  from `assets/www/` without ever hitting the session check. The
+  effect: a LAN visitor saw the box's hostname, IP, Furtka version,
+  and the buttons for Update-now / Reboot / HTTPS-toggle. The API
+  calls those buttons fired were all 401-auth-gated so actions didn't
+  land, but the information leak and the "looks open" UX was a real
+  bug. Caught in the 26.13 SSH test session when the user noticed
+  Logout only showed up on `/apps`. Now Caddy routes `/` and
+  `/settings*` through Python; a new `_serve_static_www` handler
+  checks the session cookie, redirects to `/login` if unauthed, and
+  reads the HTML from `assets/www/` otherwise. Catch-all still
+  serves `/style.css`, `/rootCA.crt`, and the runtime JSON files
+  publicly — those don't need auth.
+- **Logout link now shows on every authed page, not just `/apps`.**
+  The static HTML for `/` and `/settings/` maintained their own nav
+  separate from `_HTML` in `api.py`, so they never got the Logout
+  entry when it was added in 26.11. Both nav bars now include it
+  plus an inline `doLogout()` that POSTs `/logout` and bounces to
+  `/login`, matching the pattern in `_HTML`.
