The hostname guard, the network allowlist and the public-site switch each
decided for themselves, by testing the path against admin/*. That works only
while the console sits under /admin. It is also a trap: the moment the console
moves to the root of its own hostname, PublicSiteGate stops recognising it, and
with the public site hidden the console answers 503 to the very person trying
to sign in and switch it back on. The guard does not fail loudly — it silently
stops matching.
AdminArea is now the single answer. It has two modes and no third: a console
hostname is configured, in which case the console IS that host and answers at
its root; or nothing is configured, in which case the console stays under
/admin on any host exactly as before, so upgrading cannot lock anyone out of a
system that was working.
RestrictAdminHost gains the half it was missing. Binding console routes to a
hostname does not stop the customer routes from answering there too, because
they are registered without one — so the console's hostname would still serve
portal pages wherever the paths did not collide. It now enforces both
directions, with the endpoints both sides genuinely share written out as a list
rather than inferred.
Nothing changes yet for an installation with no ADMIN_HOSTS set, which is every
development machine and every fresh checkout.

The allowlist is managed in the console, which is fine until the address you
manage it from changes — and then the page that would fix the problem is the
page the problem blocks. Every gate needs a door that does not depend on
itself, and on a server that door is a shell:
php artisan clupilot:console-access show
php artisan clupilot:console-access allow 203.0.113.7
php artisan clupilot:console-access open
The address check moved to RestrictConsoleNetwork::isNetwork() so the command
and the console apply the same rule. Codex caught the version that did not: a
typo like 203.0.113.9/99 was stored, reported as success, and matched nothing —
leaving whoever was recovering still locked out, now believing they were not.

RestrictAdminHost answers under which NAME the console responds — and the
caller picks the Host header, so it can never answer who is asking. This does:
a network gate on the client address, which behind a trusted proxy is not
something the client chooses.
The management VPN is always in the list and cannot be removed — it is the one
way in that survives a bad entry. Beyond that the owner keeps their own
addresses in the console, because being away from the VPN should not mean being
locked out, and the person who needs to change that list is the person sitting
in front of it.
Two refusals rather than warnings, since by the time a warning renders the
request that would show it has already been rejected: switching the restriction
ON is refused unless the address doing the switching is already covered, and
removing the entry you are sitting behind is refused. Entries are validated as
an address or CIDR — a typo that matches nothing is how someone locks
themselves out while believing they have not.
404, never 403.
Registered as persistent Livewire middleware, and verified in a browser that it
holds there: with the settings page open, narrowing the list turned the next
action from 200 into 404. Codex read the path guard as skipping
/livewire/update; Livewire in fact replays middleware against a duplicate of
the request carrying the original component's path, so the guard matches and
the client address is preserved.
