Howfar security posture, reporting, and best practices.

GUIDED DISCOVERY
Readable, inspectable, and linked to action.

Every public HOWFAR page should feel like part of the same living system: clear hierarchy, visible trust cues, and direct routes to support, contact, and product.

Security approach

  • Defense-in-depth: layered security controls across services.
  • Least privilege: access is scoped to what is required.
  • Monitoring: logging and alerting for abnormal activity.
  • Proof-first communication: public trust routes show what is verified today.

Current evidence

  • Evidence-backed scoring instead of fixed marketing numbers: 16/16 checks currently pass across architecture, implementation, foundation, and operations.
  • Operational visibility is publicly exposed: Health, build, readiness, status, and metrics endpoints are committed and available for monitoring and verification.
  • Security-first platform foundations are already in place: The repo includes passkey/WebAuthn support, audit-aware administration, and scripted verification gates for deployment confidence.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report security issues via Contact. Provide steps to reproduce, impact, and any supporting evidence.

Verification endpoints

  • Readiness scorecard API Machine-readable category scores derived from repo evidence and verification scripts.
  • Build metadata Reports the currently serving build commit and deployment context.
  • Health check Lightweight service health response with build-aware diagnostics.
  • Readiness check Runtime dependency readiness for the app shell and core APIs.

What we are not overstating

  • Feature activation is still broader than the current live surface: The detailed feature matrix still includes PARTIAL and PLANNED capabilities, so the repo now tracks honest completion through a strict activation manifest instead of flipping everything to LIVE by declaration.
  • Public load and failover artifacts are still pending: The k6 harness is in-repo and the Windows Docker path handling was hardened, but smoke/stress artifacts still need to be generated and published before stronger resilience claims are fair.

User security tips

  • Use strong, unique passwords and enable 2FA when available.
  • Beware of phishing and verify links/domains.
