Security Notes
The server explicitly provides guidance on security considerations, such as using environment variables for sensitive values, binding to localhost (127.0.0.1) in production, and sanitizing inputs. It utilizes `figment` for robust configuration management (TOML, environment variables, CLI) which helps prevent hardcoded secrets. Structured logging with `tracing` mitigates log injection. However, the template explicitly states that it does *not* provide built-in authentication, authorization, or TLS, advising users to add these as needed for production deployments. The default HTTP host bind `0.0.0.0` is configurable, but also requires users to be aware of network exposure.
