+"""Network-position allowlists for unauthenticated kiosk routes.
+
+A kiosk route writes without a login. The device token (see the kiosk views)
+covers unattended screens an administrator provisions once, but it does not fit
+the other caller: somebody opening the kiosk page on their own PC, who never
+logs in and whose browser nobody provisioned. Per-browser provisioning would
+mean touching every PC on the floor and losing it again on the next reimage.
+What those callers have in common is where they are on the network.
+
+Fails closed, in every direction that matters:
+  - an empty or absent setting matches nothing (the feature is off),
+  - an unparseable caller address matches nothing,
+  - a malformed entry in the list is skipped rather than widening the match.
+
+SPOOF RESISTANCE IS A DEPLOYMENT PROPERTY, NOT A PROPERTY OF THIS CODE.
+The caller address comes from client_ip(), which reads remote_addr and never
+the raw X-Forwarded-For header - reading that header directly would let any
+caller send 'X-Forwarded-For: <allowlisted-ip>' and walk straight through.
+remote_addr is only the real client because of what sits in front of the app:
+behind IIS the URL-Rewrite rule overwrites X-Forwarded-For with the real TCP
+peer and ProxyFix resolves it into remote_addr (TRUSTED_PROXY_COUNT). Remove
+that rule and IIS forwards whatever the caller sent; waitress trusts it because
+it arrives from 127.0.0.1, remote_addr becomes attacker-controlled, and every
+allowlist built on this becomes bypassable from anywhere on the network. It
+does NOT fail closed in that case. The rewrite rule is the control. The
+GE-Enforce client allowlist carries the same dependency.
+
+Callers store plain CIDR strings rather than references to subnet records: a
+site that does not run the network plugin still has to be able to configure
+this, and a stored allowlist must not break when an inventory row is deleted.
