Security follow-up to v1.5.1. Closes four items from the v1.5.1 review — two ship-blockers and two mediums — all within the ADR-0001 envelope. PSEC-007 — peptide_starter_get_client_ip() now trusts CF-Connecting-IP only when REMOTE_ADDR falls inside a published Cloudflare edge range. Previously, any direct-to-origin request (which Hostinger permits) could forge its rate-limit key by setting the header to a different IP per attempt, bypassing every abuse control in the theme. New module inc/cloudflare-ips.php embeds a dated snapshot of CF v4/v6 ranges and a CIDR matcher covering both families; list is overridable via the peptide_starter_cloudflare_ip_ranges filter for out-of-band updates. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR stays ignored unless operators opt in via the peptide_starter_trust_xff filter. PSEC-008 — Removed the v1.5.1 user-verification migration (Option A as confirmed by peptiderepo). The sync-wp_mail-per-subscriber loop on admin_init would have blocked wp-admin and hammered deliverability. Existing accounts are now grandfathered: no ps_pending_verification meta = verified. Verification applies only to registrations from v1.5.2 forward. The ps_verify_migration_version option (written by v1.5.1) is cleared on theme activation. PSEC-009 — Registration validation no longer short-circuits. All five checks (username pattern, email validity, password length, username_exists, email_exists) evaluate unconditionally before the combined rejection. Closes the response-time oracle that let an attacker distinguish microsecond-fast regex rejection from DB-round-trip rejection and infer which field triggered the failure. PSEC-010 — Added the happy-path verify test that v1.5.1 was missing. Covers token match, user meta cleanup, auth cookie set, and the peptide_starter_user_verified action firing with the correct user ID. Seven new rate-limiter tests confirm CF-peer validation works end-to-end: trusted CF peer honours the header, untrusted peer ignores spoofed headers, invalid values fall through, XFF default-off, XFF filter opt-in, CF range filter override, IPv6 CIDR match, family mismatch rejection. Confirmed with peptiderepo before coding: (1) Option A for PSEC-008 because zero users; (2) Cloudflare IS in front of the origin (dig confirms 104.21.x / 172.67.x + CF-Ray response header), so PSEC-007 is a real fix not dead code; (3) no staging — treat prod as staging. ARCHITECTURE.md gains a client-IP trust model section; CONVENTIONS.md documents the header-trust rules for future modules. Version bumped to 1.5.2 in style.css and functions.php.
