+Note: Xpaper relies on your local browser state and does not store your timeline data on any external servers. LLM inference requires a valid API key unless you are using experimental Chrome Built-in AI features or a **Local LLM**.
+
+## Local LLM Support
+
+Xpaper can connect to local LLM servers like [Ollama](https://ollama.com/) or [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/).
+
+To use a local LLM, set the provider to **Custom API Base URL** in the options.
+
+### Ollama Setup
+Launch Ollama with the `OLLAMA_ORIGINS` environment variable to allow the extension to communicate:
+```bash
+OLLAMA_ORIGINS="chrome-extension://*" ollama serve
+```
+- **Base URL**: `http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions` (or use `.local` addresses for cross-machine access)
+- **API Key**: (leave empty)
+
+### LM Studio Setup
+1. Open LM Studio and navigate to the **Local Server** (↔) tab.
+2. Enable **CORS** and set the Network Address to **Local Network (0.0.0.0)** if accessing from another machine.
+3. Start the server.
+- **Base URL**: `http://<your-ip>:1234/v1/chat/completions`
+- **API Key**: (leave empty)
+
+### Cross-Machine Access
+If running the LLM on a different machine (e.g., a Windows PC with a GPU), use mDNS hostnames (e.g., `http://ollama.local:11434/...` or `http://lmstudio.local:1234/...`). Xpaper is configured to allow `.local` and Private IP (RFC 1918) communication by default.

 # Security Review Log
 
-## Document Rules
-- Manage reviews by date (`YYYY-MM-DD`) and add a new section for each new review.
-- Keep newest review section at the top.
-- Record each finding using: `Severity / File / Risk / Recommendation / Status`.
-- For accepted risks, use: `Status: Accepted (Reason: Requirement)`.

-
-### Model Comparison
-| Model | Setting | Primary Role | Notes |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| gpt-5.3-codex | medium | Final document normalization and consolidation | Unified duplicate/fragmented notes into one operational log |
-| Sonnet 4.6 | High effort | Deep review (auth, key handling, URL validation, XSS) | Produced detailed fix candidates |
-| gemini-3.1-pro-preview | Standard | Cross-check on permissions, external transfer, storage policy | Validated major findings |
-
-### Status Summary
-#### Resolved
-- Removed `anthropic-dangerous-direct-browser-access` header (`src/lib/llm-providers.ts`).
-- Migrated API key handling from plaintext persistence to encrypted flow (`src/options/App.tsx`, `src/background/index.ts`, `src/lib/crypto.ts`).
-- Replaced `startsWith` URL checks with `new URL()`-based validation (`src/background/index.ts`).
-- Strengthened message validation using `sender.url` in addition to `sender.id` (`src/background/index.ts`).
-- Added Markdown sanitization and stricter link handling (`src/contentScript/Overlay.tsx`).
-- Removed duplicate custom API auth header usage (`src/lib/llm-providers.ts`).
-- Added upper-bound control to tweet collection map (`src/lib/tweet-extractor.ts`).
-- Confirmed extracted timeline data is not persisted to backend DB or `chrome.storage.local`; it stays in volatile extension memory and is discarded after use.
-
-#### Accepted (Requirement)
-- Wide `host_permissions` in `manifest.config.ts` is accepted for arbitrary endpoint support.
-- External LLM transfer of timeline content is accepted as core product concept.
-
-#### Deferred
-- Standardize dependency vulnerability scanning workflow aligned with lockfile strategy.
-
-### Next Improvements
-1. Finalize and document SCA workflow (`npm`/`bun` lockfile compatible).
+This document serves as a cumulative log of security audits and hardening measures for the Xpaper extension.
+
+### Audit Methodology
+The following commands were used to trigger the multi-AI security review:
+```bash
+# Review Prompt:
+# "Review this git diff for a Chrome Extension. We are allowing the extension to call local network endpoints 
+# (like 192.168.x.x, *.local, or localhost) over HTTP to communicate with local LLMs (like Ollama or LM Studio). 
+# Are there any critical security vulnerabilities or risks introduced by these changes?"

-### Model Context
-- Model date: YYYY-MM-DD
-- Project: /path/to/project
+### Summary
+Implemented robust local network detection to allow communication with local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio) while strictly preventing data exfiltration to non-HTTPS public endpoints.
 
-### Model Comparison
-| Model | Setting | Primary Role | Notes |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+### Hardening Details
+1. **Host Permission Restriction**: Removed broad `http://*/*` permissions; limited to `localhost` and `*.local`.
+2. **SSRF Hardening**: Implemented regex-based IP validation in [network.ts](src/lib/network.ts) to block hostnames like `10.evil.com`.
+3. **CORS compatibility**: Added logic to strip `HTTP-Referer` and `X-Title` for local headers to avoid 403 errors.
+4. **Mixed Content mandate**: Explicitly enforced HTTPS for all non-local API URLs.

+- **AI Consensus**: Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5.3 Codex, Gemini 3.1 Pro
+
+### Summary
+Audited the persistence layer and extension messaging to ensure user settings and API keys are stored securely and retrieved without fallbacks.
+
+### Hardening Details
+1. **Storage Isolation**: Migrated sensitive configurations (API keys, prompts) from `sync` to `local` storage.
+2. **Retrieve Logic Validation**: Hardened model name retrieval to eliminate `undefined` payloads and ensure correct provider-model mapping.
+3. **DOM Integrity**: Cleaned up redundant `initOverlay` calls to prevent script injection side-effects.
