The UI calls the API with credentials: "include", because ai.yokogawa.tech and
api.yokogawa.tech are different origins and the Authelia session cookie has to
be attached explicitly. The CORS middleware never set allow_credentials, and a
browser refuses a credentialed cross-origin request unless the response says
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. It fails at the preflight, so the real
request is never sent:
Access to fetch at '.../ask' has been blocked by CORS policy: the value of
the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header in the response is '' which
must be 'true' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'.
Every question from the UI would have failed at Phase 7 with "Could not reach
the assistant" - the app's network-error branch, which says nothing about CORS
and points at the wrong layer entirely. The API is fine; curl against it passes,
because curl is not a browser and does not enforce this.
Found driving the built UI in a browser. It is not reachable by any test that
does not involve a browser, which is the useful part: the Phase 7 gate says an
operator reaches the UI and gets an answer end to end, and that gate is the
first thing that would have caught it - at the point where DNS, Caddy and
Authelia are all new too, and any of them a plausible suspect.
