+## Authentication
+
+Single-user GitHub OAuth, built so this can face the internet.
+
+**It fails closed.** Auth is on unless `MUSE_AUTH=off` is set explicitly, and
+if it is on with incomplete config the app *refuses to start*. The failure mode
+worth engineering against isn't a broken login page — it's a misconfigured
+deploy quietly serving an unauthenticated download client to the internet.
+
+### Setting it up
+
+1. <https://github.com/settings/developers> → **New OAuth App**
+   - Homepage URL: `https://muse.yourdomain.com`
+   - Authorization callback URL: `https://muse.yourdomain.com/auth/callback`
+2. Generate a client secret.
+3. Set `MUSE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID`, `MUSE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET`,
+   `MUSE_ALLOWED_USERS` (your GitHub login), and `MUSE_BASE_URL`.
+
+| variable | default | meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `MUSE_AUTH` | `github` | `github` or `off` |
+| `MUSE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` | — | OAuth app client id |
+| `MUSE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET` | — | OAuth app secret |
+| `MUSE_ALLOWED_USERS` | — | comma-separated GitHub logins; **nobody else gets in** |
+| `MUSE_BASE_URL` | — | external URL, e.g. `https://muse.yourdomain.com` |
+| `MUSE_COOKIE_SECURE` | `true` | set `false` only for plain-http LAN testing |
+| `MUSE_SESSION_DAYS` | `7` | session lifetime |
+
+### What it does
+
+- **Server-side sessions.** The cookie carries a 256-bit random token and
+  nothing else; the database stores only its SHA-256. No signed payload to get
+  wrong, a stolen database yields no usable cookies, and logout genuinely
+  revokes. Cookie is `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Lax`.
+- **Allowlist re-checked every request**, so removing someone locks them out
+  immediately rather than whenever their session expires.
+- **OAuth `state`** is generated per login and compared with
+  `secrets.compare_digest`, so a callback you didn't initiate is rejected.
+- **Strict CSP** — `default-src 'self'`, no `unsafe-inline`. This is why the
+  stylesheet and script are separate files instead of inline in the page: an
+  injected `<script>` cannot execute. Plus `frame-ancestors 'none'`,
+  `base-uri 'none'`, `nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `no-referrer`, HSTS.
+- **No API docs** — `/docs`, `/redoc` and `/openapi.json` are disabled, so the
+  login page doesn't hand out a map of every endpoint.
+- **Denied logins are logged** with the GitHub username — on an
+  internet-facing box that's your signal someone found the page.
+- `/healthz` is the only unauthenticated route and returns a bare `{"ok":true}`
+   — no versions, no config, no counts.
+
+Behind a reverse proxy, `MUSE_BASE_URL` is read from config rather than from
+`X-Forwarded-*` headers on purpose: those are attacker-controllable and this
+one is a redirect target.
+
