+### DPoP — session cookie binding (RFC 9449)
+
+DPoP cryptographically binds a session cookie to a browser-held ECDSA keypair (P-256, non-extractable via `SubtleCrypto`). Every request carries a signed proof the middleware verifies against the session's binding. Closes the info-stealer replay threat: a cookie copied to another machine is useless without the private key. Non-browser clients (Nextcloud sync via app passwords, CLI via device-authorization) never bind and are exempted at the middleware regardless of mode. See `docs/plan/dpop.md` for the full rollout plan.

Unbound sessions always exempt. Recommended rollout: `off` → `opportunistic` for 2-4 weeks → `required`. For DPoP to be meaningful, cookies must be `Secure` (`OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE=true` in production over HTTPS) and reverse-proxy `X-Forwarded-Proto` / `X-Forwarded-Host` must reach the app so the `htu` claim canonicalises correctly. |

+# DPOP — session cookie binding to a browser-held keypair (RFC 9449)
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Each SPA session generates a P-256 ECDSA keypair with `extractable: false`
+# in the browser at login time; the JWK thumbprint is sent as `dpop_jkt`
+# and stored on the session row. Every subsequent request carries a signed
+# DPoP proof header the middleware verifies against the session's binding.
+#
+# Threat closed: an info-stealer that copies the cookie to another machine
+# cannot replay the session — the private key never leaves the browser
+# (SubtleCrypto stores it in the crypto subsystem; JS can only call
+# `sign()` on the handle, never `exportKey()`).
+#
+# Non-browser clients (Nextcloud sync, mobile apps via Basic Auth on app
+# passwords, CLI via device-authorization) never bind a keypair — their
+# session rows have `dpop_jkt IS NULL` and the middleware exempts them
+# regardless of mode. So enabling this does NOT break your NC clients.
+#
+# Values: off | opportunistic | required
+#   off           — middleware pass-through, no verification. Default. Ship-
+#                   safe while the client rollout catches up.
+#   opportunistic — verify when a proof is present, reject invalid ones;
+#                   allow when absent (log a warning if the session was
+#                   bound). Rollout mode — catches client bugs before
+#                   flipping enforcement.
+#   required      — bound sessions MUST present a valid proof or 401.
+#                   Unbound sessions still work (see NC-client note above).
+#
+# Recommended rollout: off → opportunistic (2-4 weeks, watch audit for
+# `dpop.header_missing_but_session_bound` counts trending to zero) →
+# required. See `docs/plan/dpop.md` for the full rollout plan.
+#
+# NB: for DPoP to be meaningful, cookies must be `Secure` (HTTPS) —
+# there's no point cryptographically binding a session that ships over
+# plain HTTP. Set `OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE=true` in production. Also
+# ensure `X-Forwarded-Proto` + `X-Forwarded-Host` reach the app if
+# you're behind a reverse proxy — the middleware reads those to build
+# the canonical `htu` claim the proof binds to.
