+### Password protection
+
+For files uploaded with a `password` field:
+
+1. `GET /d/:key` returns a small HTML password form.
+2. The browser submits it to `POST /api/auth/:key` with `password=...`.
+3. On success the server sets a short-lived (30 min), HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax,
+   signed cookie and redirects back to `/d/:key`, which then streams the file.

+curl -c cookies.txt -X POST -d "password=hunter2" http://localhost:3000/api/auth/:key
+curl -b cookies.txt -O http://localhost:3000/d/:key

+
+The cookie is signed with a server secret (`storage/.secret`) so it cannot be
+forged, and it survives server restarts. Without it, a protected file is never
