Security Notes

The `ols4-neo4j` Docker service explicitly disables Neo4j authentication (`NEO4J_AUTH=none`) which is a major security vulnerability if exposed in a production environment. The API allows cross-origin requests for GET methods from any origin (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`), which is typical for a public API but noted.
