+"""The service image must honor the ingress's forwarded headers.
+
+`containers/Dockerfile` sets `FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS` so Uvicorn installs
+`ProxyHeadersMiddleware` with a trust-all peer list and `X-Forwarded-Proto:
+https` survives into `request.url.scheme` — without it FastAPI's canonical
+redirects answer with an `http://` `Location` behind the ingress (issue #245).
+
+Three details make the setting easy to break silently, so they are pinned here.
+The exact variable name Uvicorn reads. The fact that Docker strips the quotes
+around `'*'` — a literal `'*'`, quotes included, is not the wildcard but an
+unmatchable host literal, and the middleware would trust nobody. And the
+container's `CMD`, because Uvicorn consults the environment only when the
+command line leaves `--forwarded-allow-ips` unset and proxy headers enabled.
