Updates request-context handling to keep address validation within the authentication provider that uses it, and makes router configuration consistent across supported builds.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Session-cookie and Tailscale authentication now account for client and peer IP addresses alongside configured proxy trust. Invalid or unsuitable client IPs are excluded from Tailscale lookups.
Platform-provided headers no longer override configured proxy trust.
When trusted proxies aren’t configured, the warning now clarifies that IP-based authentication is safe only for direct client connections.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Walkthrough
Router setup clears Gin’s platform-header trust setting. Middleware uses client and peer addresses to select an IP for cookie authentication and Tailscale lookups. Tests cover address selection, and the warning for an empty trusted-proxy configuration has been updated.
Router setup clears Gin’s TrustedPlatform setting. The warning for an empty trusted-proxy configuration now states that only direct client connections can safely use IP-based authentication.
Tailscale client IP selection internal/middleware/context_middleware.go, internal/middleware/context_middleware_test.go, Makefile
Cookie authentication receives the client and peer IPs. Tailscale lookups use the selected IP and skip whois lookup when it is empty. Tests cover trusted and untrusted proxies, malformed addresses, and other address cases. The Makefile fmt target remains go fmt ./....

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to dd9d3
The reported proxy-owner authentication path is blocked in configured proxy mode. Empty-proxy deployments remain limited to direct connections, as the startup warning states; the PR is mergeable after normal checks.

- Around line 160-161: Update tailscaleClientIP so an equal parsedClientIP and
peerIP returns an empty string only when the socket peer is a configured trusted
proxy with missing or invalid forwarding data; for direct connections, accept
the socket peer as the client IP. Determine trust from the router’s
trusted-proxy configuration, not forwarding headers.

I would also recommend either failing to initialize with the Tailscale provider or displaying a warning when we don't have trusted proxies set and thus no way to obtain the client IP.

internal/middleware in coverage instrumentation by configuring -coverpkg for
that package, so the separately located middleware tests contribute to the

Review comments at @internal/middleware/context_middleware.go:
- Line 162: Update the middleware logic around parsedClientIP, parsedPeerIP, and
isTrustedProxy so equal client and peer addresses are rejected as Tailscale
identities in proxy mode, rather than triggering WHOIS for the proxy. Make
direct Tailscale access an explicit mode available only through a listener
restricted to direct clients, preserving the existing direct-access behavior in
that mode.

@nicotsx I am not really happy with the implementation here. I believe it's taking a step in the wrong direction.
Ideally, we need to have a simple check at start-up that checks if Tailscale is configured as an authentication provider. If it is configured, we need to do a simple check:
If it's the only authentication provider and we have no trusted proxies, fail the startup by returning an error
If it's not the only authentication provider, return nil early from the Tailscale service to avoid needless lookups in the API and add log a warning about Tailscale being disabled as an authentication provider due to the missing trusted proxies configuration option.
Then in the request, there is no point in replicating the trusted proxies function that Gin already does for us. We can use c.ClientIP() directly since we already validated that we do in fact have trusted proxies in the startup.
This start-up check avoids the need for extra validation during runtime and can ensure that everything is configured correctly before we even start receiving requests.
