chore(docs): trigger Vercel rebuild

Astro's base option was set to /docs to anticipate the reverse-proxy
URL at checkmate.so/docs. Vercel serves the dist folder at the root,
which made every page 404 because Astro had baked /docs/ into every
internal link and asset URL.

## Changes
- Remove base: "/docs" from astro.config.mjs — site now serves at root
- Update Releases nav link to /releases
- Update README's reverse-proxy snippet to strip the /docs prefix
  before forwarding to Vercel

## Final URL behaviour
- Direct: https://<vercel-domain>/                  → Introduction
- Direct: https://<vercel-domain>/releases/         → Releases
- Proxy:  https://checkmate.so/docs/                → strip /docs → Introduction
- Proxy:  https://checkmate.so/docs/releases/       → strip /docs → Releases

+# Checkmate API documentation
+
+Public-facing API documentation that powers **https://checkmate.so/docs**.
+
+The site is built with [Astro Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build/) — a static-site generator that produces a fast, modern docs site with zero JavaScript by default. Starlight is open source and self-hostable; there is no third-party account required to publish.
+
+## Repository layout
+
+```
+docs/
+├── api-content/          ← markdown prose (this folder — edit here)
+│   ├── introduction.md
+│   ├── quickstart.md
+│   ├── authentication.md
+│   ├── conventions.md
+│   ├── errors.md
+│   ├── rate-limiting.md
+│   └── api-reference/
+│       └── overview.md
+└── api/                  ← Astro Starlight project (build tool — leave alone unless changing the site)
+    ├── package.json
+    ├── astro.config.mjs
+    ├── src/content.config.ts
+    └── src/styles/checkmate.css
+```
+
+**Contributors editing prose only need to touch `docs/api-content/`**. Astro's content loader picks up the markdown automatically.
+
+The endpoint reference (every URL + schema) is **auto-generated from [`server/openapi.json`](../../server/openapi.json)** via the `starlight-openapi` plugin. Adding or changing an endpoint means updating that JSON; the public docs pick it up on the next Vercel build.
+
+## Local preview
+
+```bash
+cd docs/api
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Visit http://localhost:4321/docs. Hot-reload works for markdown changes in `docs/api-content/`.
+
+To produce the static site:
+
+```bash
+npm run build      # outputs docs/api/dist/
+npm run preview    # serve the built output locally
+```
+
+## Deploying to checkmate.so/docs
+
+Astro Starlight builds a static site. Deploy on Vercel and reverse-proxy `checkmate.so/docs/*` to it.
+
+### One-time Vercel setup
+
+1. Go to https://vercel.com → New Project → import the `bluewave-labs/Checkmate` GitHub repo.
+2. **Root Directory**: set to `docs/api`.
+3. **Framework Preset**: Vercel auto-detects Astro from `vercel.json`.
+4. **Build & Output**: leave defaults (`npm run build` → `dist/`).
+5. **Production Branch**: `develop`.
+6. Deploy. Vercel returns a URL like `checkmate-docs.vercel.app`.
+7. Verify the site renders correctly.
+
+The deployment auto-rebuilds on every push to `develop` and on every PR (as a preview deploy).
+
+### Reverse-proxy /docs to Vercel
+
+In whichever edge proxy fronts `checkmate.so`, route `/docs/*` to the Vercel deployment.
+
+**Cloudflare Workers:**
+
+```javascript
+addEventListener("fetch", (event) => {
+  const url = new URL(event.request.url);
+  if (url.pathname === "/docs" || url.pathname.startsWith("/docs/")) {
+    const target = new URL(url.pathname, "https://checkmate-docs.vercel.app");
+    target.search = url.search;
+    return event.respondWith(fetch(target.toString(), event.request));
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**nginx:**
+
+```nginx
+location /docs/ {
+    proxy_pass https://checkmate-docs.vercel.app/docs/;
+    proxy_set_header Host checkmate-docs.vercel.app;
+    proxy_ssl_server_name on;
+}
+```
+
+The `base: "/docs"` setting in `astro.config.mjs` ensures every internal link and asset URL is prefixed correctly so the site works at `checkmate.so/docs/...` rather than the root.
+
+## Updating the docs
+
+| Task | What to edit |
+|---|---|
+| Fix a typo, clarify wording | `docs/api-content/*.md` |
+| Add a new narrative page | Add the file to `docs/api-content/`, then add a `slug` entry to `astro.config.mjs` → `sidebar` |
+| Fix something in the API reference | Edit `server/openapi.json` (or the route spec it's built from) — never edit the generated reference pages |
+| Change branding / colors | `docs/api/src/styles/checkmate.css` |
+| Change site config (title, logo, social) | `docs/api/astro.config.mjs` |
+
+Two rules:
+
+1. **Never hand-edit the API reference.** It's regenerated on every build. Fix the spec.
+2. **Test code samples against a real instance before merging.** Wrong code in docs is worse than missing code.
+
+## Why Astro Starlight (and not Mintlify, Docusaurus, etc.)
+
+- **No third-party account required.** Self-hostable on any static host.
+- **Best looking** of the modern docs frameworks per multiple 2026 reviews — Distr, among others, migrated away from Docusaurus specifically for Starlight's design.
+- **Zero JavaScript by default.** Pages are pure HTML — fast load, perfect Lighthouse scores.
+- **OpenAPI integration is first-class** via `starlight-openapi`.
+- **Markdown is the source of truth.** No proprietary formats. Easy to migrate later if needed.

+
+# API reference
+
+The full machine-readable specification is at [`server/openapi.json`](https://github.com/bluewave-labs/Checkmate/blob/develop/server/openapi.json). Mintlify renders an interactive reference from it — each endpoint below is fully documented with request/response schemas, examples, and a built-in "Try it" form.
+
+## Endpoint groups
+
+| Group | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **auth** | Register, log in, password recovery, manage users |
+| **invite** | Send and redeem team invites |
+| **monitors** | Create, update, pause, and delete monitors |
+| **checks** | Read individual check results and team-wide summaries |
+| **incidents** | List, filter, and resolve downtime incidents |
+| **maintenance-window** | Schedule maintenance windows to silence checks |
+| **notifications** | Configure email, Slack, Discord, and webhook channels |
+| **status-page** | Manage public status pages |
+| **geo-checks** | Multi-region check results |
+| **logs** | Audit and operational logs |
+| **settings** | Global Checkmate settings |
+| **queue** | Background-job queue health (operational) |
+| **diagnostic** | System health and version info |
+
+## Authentication
+
+Every endpoint except the unauthenticated auth/recovery routes requires:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <jwt>
+```
+
+See [Authentication](/api/authentication) for how to obtain a token.
+
+## Conventions recap
+
+- Base URL: `https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1`
+- Response envelope: `{ success, msg, data }`
+- IDs: 24-character MongoDB ObjectIds
+- Timestamps: ISO 8601 UTC
+- Durations: integers in milliseconds
+- Most resources are team-scoped — pass `teamId` where the path includes `/team/...`
+
+See [Conventions](/api/conventions) for full details.

+title: Authentication
+description: Obtain a JWT from /auth/login and send it as a Bearer token on every subsequent request.
+---
+
+# Authentication
+
+Checkmate uses **JWT bearer tokens**. There are no API keys, no OAuth, and no client secrets. Every API user is a regular Checkmate user — the credentials you log in to the web UI with are the credentials you use to obtain a token.
+
+## The flow
+
+1. **Get a token** by calling `POST /auth/login` with your email and password.
+2. **Send the token** as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every subsequent request.
+3. **Refresh** by calling `POST /auth/login` again before the token expires.
+
+## Obtaining a token
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "email": "you@example.com",
+    "password": "YourPass1!"
+  }'
+```
+
+A successful response returns the token plus the authenticated user record:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "msg": "OK",
+  "data": {
+    "user": {
+      "_id": "65f1c2a4d8b9e0123456789a",
+      "firstName": "Ada",
+      "lastName": "Lovelace",
+      "email": "you@example.com",
+      "role": ["admin"],
+      "teamId": "65f1c2a4d8b9e01234567890",
+      "createdAt": "2026-04-01T10:00:00.000Z",
+      "updatedAt": "2026-04-15T14:30:00.000Z"
+    },
+    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Store both `token` (for the `Authorization` header) and `user.teamId` (most resource endpoints are scoped by team).
+
+## Using a token
+
+Every authenticated request must include:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+```
+
+```bash
+curl https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/team/<teamId> \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
+```
+
+```javascript
+const res = await fetch("https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/team/<teamId>", {
+  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
+});
+```
+
+## Token lifetime
+
+Tokens expire after the duration configured by the operator via the `TOKEN_TTL` environment variable. The default is **99 days**.
+
+There is no separate refresh-token endpoint. When a token is close to expiry — or after a 401 response — call `POST /auth/login` again to obtain a new one.
+
+## Roles
+
+The `user.role` claim is an array. Available roles:
+
+| Role | Capability |
+|---|---|
+| `superadmin` | Full access to all teams and global settings. Can promote other users. |
+| `admin` | Full access within their team. |
+| `user` | Read access within their team. |
+| `demo` | Limited demo-mode access. |
+
+A user can hold multiple roles simultaneously.
+
+## Registering the first user
+
+A fresh Checkmate instance has no users. The first call to `POST /auth/register` creates the first **superadmin** and provisions a team for them:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/register \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "firstName": "Ada",
+    "lastName": "Lovelace",
+    "email": "ada@example.com",
+    "password": "Hunter2!",
+    "role": ["superadmin"],
+    "teamId": ""
+  }'
+```
+
+After the first user exists, additional users are usually created via the invite flow rather than `POST /auth/register`:
+
+```
+POST /invite/send         # superadmin/admin sends an invite
+POST /auth/register       # invitee redeems the invite token
+```
+
+You can check whether a superadmin already exists with:
+
+```bash
+curl https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/users/superadmin
+```
+
+```json
+{ "success": true, "data": true }
+```
+
+## Password recovery
+
+The password-recovery flow is three calls, all unauthenticated:

+```
+POST /auth/recovery/request   # user requests a recovery email
+POST /auth/recovery/validate  # client validates the recovery token
+POST /auth/recovery/reset     # user sets a new password
+```
+
+## Logging out
+
+JWTs are stateless — there is no server-side logout. Drop the token from your client storage. If you need to invalidate a token before its expiry (e.g. a compromised device), the operator must rotate the `JWT_SECRET` environment variable, which invalidates every outstanding token.

+description: Response envelope, request format, identifiers, pagination, and team scoping.
+---
+
+# Conventions
+
+A small number of conventions apply to every endpoint. Once you've internalized them, the per-resource reference is mostly self-explanatory.
+
+## Request format
+
+- **Content-Type**: `application/json` for all POST/PUT/PATCH bodies, except multipart uploads (logos, profile images), which use `multipart/form-data`.
+- **Charset**: UTF-8.
+- **Method semantics**:
+  - `GET` — read, never mutates state.
+  - `POST` — create, or action that doesn't fit GET/PATCH/DELETE.
+  - `PATCH` — partial update.
+  - `PUT` — full replace.
+  - `DELETE` — delete.
+
+## Response envelope
+
+Every JSON response uses the same shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "msg": "OK",
+  "data": { /* endpoint-specific payload */ }
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `success` | boolean | `true` on 2xx, `false` on 4xx/5xx |
+| `msg` | string | Human-readable summary — safe to surface in UIs |
+| `data` | object \| array \| null | Endpoint-specific payload. Absent or `null` for `204 No Content`. |
+
+Error responses use the same envelope with `success: false` and `data` typically omitted. See [Errors](/api/errors).
+
+## Identifiers
+
+- All resource IDs are **MongoDB ObjectIds** (24-character hex strings):
+  ```
+  65f1c2a4d8b9e0123456789a
+  ```
+- Treat IDs as opaque strings. Do not attempt to parse the timestamp or counter components.
+
+## Team scoping
+
+Most resources belong to a **team**. After login, the user record contains a `teamId`; pass it as a path parameter wherever the endpoint name includes `/team/...`:
+
+```
+GET /monitors/team/65f1c2a4d8b9e01234567890
+GET /incidents/team
+GET /checks/team
+```
+
+Users only see resources belonging to their own team, except for `superadmin`, who can read across teams.
+
+## Date and time
+
+- All timestamps in JSON are **ISO 8601** strings in UTC:
+  ```
+  "createdAt": "2026-04-01T10:00:00.000Z"
+  ```
+- Durations are typically integers in **milliseconds** (intervals, response times, time windows).
+
+## Pagination
+
+Endpoints that return collections accept these optional query parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `limit` | integer | endpoint-dependent | Maximum rows to return. |
+| `page` | integer | `0` | Zero-indexed page number. |
+| `sortBy` | string | endpoint-dependent | Field to sort by. |
+| `sortOrder` | `asc` \| `desc` | `desc` | Sort direction. |
+| `filter` | string | — | Endpoint-specific filter (e.g. status). |
+
+When a collection supports pagination, the response `data` includes the rows plus the total count:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "msg": "OK",
+  "data": {
+    "monitors": [ /* … */ ],
+    "filteredMonitors": [ /* … */ ],
+    "summary": { /* counters */ }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Exact shapes vary per endpoint. See the [API reference](/api/reference) for each endpoint's response schema.
+
+## File uploads
+
+Two endpoints accept files:
+
+- Status page logo: `POST /status-page` (multipart, field `logo`)
+- User profile picture: `POST /auth/register`, `PATCH /auth/user/:id` (multipart, field `profileImage`)
+
+Use `multipart/form-data` and include the JSON fields as separate form parts.
+
+## CORS
+
+The server's CORS policy is configured via the `CLIENT_HOST` environment variable. Only requests whose `Origin` matches `CLIENT_HOST` are accepted, and credentials (cookies) are allowed.
+
+If you're calling the API from a browser on a different origin, the operator must add that origin to `CLIENT_HOST`. Server-to-server calls (curl, your backend) are not subject to CORS.
+
+## Versioning
+
+The base path includes the API version:
+
+```
+/api/v1/...
+```
+
+Within `v1`, additive changes (new endpoints, new optional fields) ship without notice. Breaking changes (removed endpoints, changed field types) only ship under a new major version.

+
+Failure responses share the same envelope as successful ones, with `success: false` and `data` omitted (or `null`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "Validation failed: email must be a valid email"

+## Status codes
+
+| Status | Meaning | When you'll see it |
+|---|---|---|

+| `401 Unauthorized` | Missing or invalid JWT | Token expired, token missing, token signed with a different secret |
+| `403 Forbidden` | Authenticated, but not allowed | Accessing a resource that belongs to a different team, or insufficient role |
+| `404 Not Found` | Resource doesn't exist | Wrong ID, deleted resource, mistyped path |

+| `413 Payload Too Large` | File upload exceeded limit | Logo or profile image too big |
+| `422 Unprocessable Entity` | Request was well-formed but failed validation | Zod / Joi schema rejected the body |
+| `429 Too Many Requests` | Rate limit exceeded | See [Rate limiting](/api/rate-limiting) |
+| `500 Internal Server Error` | Unexpected server error | A bug — report it with the request ID |
+
+## Common shapes
+
+### 401 — missing or invalid token
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "No auth token provided"
+}
+```
+
+Re-authenticate by calling `POST /auth/login`.
+
+### 422 — validation error
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "\"email\" must be a valid email"
+}
+```
+
+The `msg` describes the first failing field. Re-send the request with the fix.
+
+### 403 — forbidden
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "Forbidden"
+}
+```
+
+You're authenticated but the resource isn't visible to you. Common cause: passing a `teamId` that isn't your team's.
+
+### 429 — rate limited
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "Too many requests"
+}
+```
+
+Inspect `RateLimit-*` response headers and back off. See [Rate limiting](/api/rate-limiting).
+
+## Error handling pattern
+
+Client code should branch on status code, not on `msg`:
+
+```javascript
+const res = await fetch(url, opts);
+const body = await res.json().catch(() => ({}));
+
+switch (res.status) {
+  case 200:
+  case 204:
+    return body.data;
+
+  case 401:
+    // Token expired or missing — re-authenticate, then retry once.
+    await reauthenticate();
+    return retry();
+
+  case 422:
+    // Surface the validation error to the user.
+    throw new ValidationError(body.msg);
+
+  case 429:
+    // Back off using Retry-After if present.
+    const retryAfter = Number(res.headers.get("Retry-After") ?? 60);
+    await sleep(retryAfter * 1000);
+    return retry();
+
+  default:
+    throw new Error(`Checkmate API ${res.status}: ${body.msg ?? res.statusText}`);
+}
+```
+
+## Reporting bugs
+
+If you see a `500`, capture:
+
+- The exact request (method, path, body — **redact secrets**)
+- The full response body and headers
+- A timestamp in UTC
+
+Open an issue at https://github.com/bluewave-labs/Checkmate/issues with that information.

+title: Introduction
+description: Use the Checkmate REST API to manage monitors, incidents, status pages, notifications, and users programmatically.
+---
+
+# Checkmate API
+
+Checkmate exposes a REST API that mirrors everything the web UI can do. Use it to provision monitors from infrastructure-as-code, build internal dashboards, automate incident workflows, or integrate Checkmate into your existing alerting stack.
+
+The web UI you log in to is itself just a client of this same API.
+
+## Base URL
+
+```
+https://<your-checkmate-host>/api/v1
+```
+
+Replace `<your-checkmate-host>` with the domain where you deployed Checkmate. For local development:
+
+```
+http://localhost:52345/api/v1
+```
+
+All endpoints are relative to this base. Every path on this page is shown without the `/api/v1` prefix — prepend it when making requests.
+
+## API stability
+
+The API is at version **`v1`** and is considered stable. Breaking changes will only ship under a new major version (`/api/v2`).
+
+## What you can do
+
+| Resource | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| `monitors` | Create, update, pause, and delete monitors of any type (HTTP, Ping, Port, DNS, Docker, PageSpeed, gRPC, WebSocket, Game, Hardware) |
+| `checks` | Read individual check results and aggregated stats |
+| `incidents` | List, filter, and resolve downtime incidents |
+| `notifications` | Manage notification channels (email, Slack, Discord, webhooks) |
+| `status-page` | Configure public status pages |
+| `maintenance-window` | Schedule maintenance windows so checks don't fire incidents |
+| `geo-checks` | Multi-region check results |
+| `auth` | Register, log in, manage users |
+| `invite` | Invite teammates |
+| `logs` | Audit and operational logs |
+| `settings` | Tune global Checkmate settings |
+| `queue` | Inspect the background-job queue (operational) |
+| `diagnostic` | Health and system info |
+
+## What you'll need
+
+1. A running Checkmate instance you administer.
+2. A user account on that instance.
+3. A JWT obtained by calling `POST /auth/login` — see [Authentication](/api/authentication).
+
+There is no separate "API key" concept in Checkmate. The same JWT that authenticates the web UI authenticates every API call.
+
+## Response shape
+
+Every endpoint returns the same envelope:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "msg": "OK",
+  "data": { /* endpoint-specific payload */ }
+}
+```
+
+See [Conventions](/api/conventions) for the full contract and [Errors](/api/errors) for failure shapes.
+
+## Quick example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Log in to get a token
+TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":"you@example.com","password":"YourPass1!"}' \
+  | jq -r '.data.token')
+
+# 2. List your team's monitors
+curl https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/team/<teamId> \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```

+description: From zero to a working monitor in under five minutes.
+---
+
+# Quickstart
+
+This walkthrough creates a Checkmate user, logs in, provisions an HTTP monitor, and reads its checks — all via the API.
+
+It assumes you have a Checkmate instance running and reachable. Substitute `https://your-checkmate-host` with your actual host throughout.
+
+## 1. Register the first user
+
+If your instance is fresh, the first user becomes a superadmin:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/register \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "firstName": "Ada",
+    "lastName": "Lovelace",
+    "email": "ada@example.com",
+    "password": "Hunter2!Hunter2!",
+    "role": ["superadmin"],
+    "teamId": ""
+  }'
+```
+
+The response includes a JWT and a freshly-created `teamId`. Save both.
+
+If a superadmin already exists, skip to step 2 and use existing credentials.
+
+## 2. Log in
+
+If you already have an account:
+
+```bash
+TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":"ada@example.com","password":"Hunter2!Hunter2!"}' \
+  | jq -r '.data.token')
+
+TEAM_ID=$(curl -s -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":"ada@example.com","password":"Hunter2!Hunter2!"}' \
+  | jq -r '.data.user.teamId')
+
+echo "Token: $TOKEN"
+echo "Team:  $TEAM_ID"
+```
+
+## 3. Create a monitor
+
+This creates an HTTP monitor that probes example.com every 60 seconds:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{
+    \"name\": \"example.com\",
+    \"type\": \"http\",
+    \"url\": \"https://example.com\",
+    \"interval\": 60000,
+    \"teamId\": \"$TEAM_ID\",
+    \"isActive\": true
+  }"
+```
+
+A successful response returns the new monitor including its `_id`.
+
+## 4. List your team's monitors
+
+```bash
+curl https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/team/$TEAM_ID \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```
+
+You should see the monitor you just created. Within a minute, the background worker will have run a few checks against it.
+
+## 5. Read recent checks
+
+Replace `<MONITOR_ID>` with the `_id` from step 3:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/checks/<MONITOR_ID>?limit=10" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```
+
+You'll see an array of check results — status code, response time, timestamp, region (if applicable).
+
+## 6. Pause and delete the monitor
+
+Pause:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PATCH https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/<MONITOR_ID> \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"isActive": false}'
+```
+
+Delete:
+
+```bash
+curl -X DELETE https://your-checkmate-host/api/v1/monitors/<MONITOR_ID> \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```
+
+## What's next
+
+- **Set up notifications** — `POST /notifications` to wire email / Slack / Discord / webhook channels, then attach them to monitors.
+- **Build a status page** — `POST /status-page` to publish your monitors publicly.
+- **Schedule maintenance** — `POST /maintenance-window` to silence checks during planned downtime.
+- **Browse the full API reference** — see every endpoint with request/response schemas.

+title: Rate limiting
+description: Per-IP request limits, headers, and how to back off.
+---
+
+# Rate limiting
+
+Checkmate applies two per-IP rate limiters, both with a **60-second window**:
+
+| Limiter | Applies to | Limit |
+|---|---|---|
+| General | All requests under `/api/v1/*` | **600 requests / 60 seconds** |
+| Auth-sensitive | `/auth/login`, `/auth/register`, `/auth/recovery/*`, `/status-page/:url/unlock` | **15 requests / 60 seconds** |
+
+The two limiters are **independent**. Auth-sensitive endpoints count against both buckets — you can hammer `/auth/login` 15 times in a minute before being rate-limited there, but a single client can never exceed 600 total requests per minute regardless of which endpoints are called.
+
+## Headers
+
+Every response includes the standard `RateLimit-*` headers so you can pace yourself proactively:
+
+```
+RateLimit-Limit: 600
+RateLimit-Remaining: 587
+RateLimit-Reset: 42
+```
+
+| Header | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `RateLimit-Limit` | The cap for the current window. |
+| `RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests left before you hit `429`. |
+| `RateLimit-Reset` | Seconds until the window resets. |
+
+## When you exceed the limit
+
+You receive `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "msg": "Too many requests"
+}
+```
+
+The response also includes `Retry-After`:
+
+```
+Retry-After: 42
+```
+
+Wait that many seconds before retrying. If `Retry-After` is missing, fall back to the `RateLimit-Reset` header.
+
+## Recommended backoff
+
+For one-off scripts, simple sleep-then-retry is fine:
+
+```javascript
+async function callWithRetry(url, opts, attempts = 3) {
+  for (let i = 0; i < attempts; i++) {
+    const res = await fetch(url, opts);
+    if (res.status !== 429) return res;
+    const retry = Number(res.headers.get("Retry-After") ?? 60);
+    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retry * 1000));
+  }
+  throw new Error("Rate limit retry exhausted");
+}
+```
+
+For higher-throughput integrations, watch `RateLimit-Remaining` and pace your sender to stay below the limit rather than waiting for `429`.
+
+## Limits and proxies
+
+Rate-limiting is per **client IP**, derived from the connection — or, when Checkmate is behind a reverse proxy with `trust proxy` configured, from the leftmost public IP in `X-Forwarded-For`.
+
+If many of your clients share an egress IP (NAT, corporate proxy), they share the bucket. In that case, an operator should either:
+
+- Increase the limits (server code change required), or
+- Make sure each client connects from a distinct IP.
+
+## Limits are not contractual
+
+The numbers above reflect the current defaults. An operator can change them at any time (they're hardcoded in `server/src/middleware/rateLimiter.ts`). If you're building an integration that depends on a higher limit, coordinate with the operator first.
