Express's req.ip was resolving to a Cloudflare edge address (e.g.
172.70.x.x) for any request fronted by Cloudflare, because trust proxy
was set to '1' — that trusts the immediate hop, which IS Cloudflare.
All activity_log rows from API paths captured the proxy, not the
client. The WebSocket path was unaffected and recorded the real IP.
Two layers of defense:
1. trust proxy now lists Cloudflare's published v4 + v6 ranges plus
loopback / linklocal / uniquelocal (config/cloudflareIps.js). With
this list req.ip resolves to the original client when fronted by
CF, and X-Forwarded-For from any non-trusted source is ignored —
so the value can't be spoofed.
2. New getClientIp(req) helper in services/activity.js prefers the
CF-Connecting-IP header but only honors it when the immediate TCP
peer is itself a trusted address. Same gate as trust proxy, so a
visitor who hits the origin directly with a forged header is
logged at their real address.
Routed all five activity-log call sites (auth login success/failure,
admin password reset, generic activityLogger middleware, and the
in-memory rate-limiter key) through the helper.
Logging-only change. No schema changes. Existing rows are not
modified — fix applies to new entries going forward.
Verified locally:
- Bare loopback hit logs 127.0.0.1 (not a proxy address).
- Helper unit cases including an untrusted peer (203.0.113.7) sending
a forged CF-Connecting-IP correctly fall back to the real peer.

Phase 4 group scheduling: schema migration adds group_id to schedules with
CHECK constraint, scheduler evaluates group+device schedules with priority,
group deletion converts schedules to per-device copies. Dashboard gets
playlist assignment dropdown and current playlist label on group headers.
Player persists audio unlock state in localStorage so version reloads
don't lose audio on unattended displays.

Schedule CRUD now includes playlist_id field. List queries join playlist name.
Scheduler tracks active overrides per device and reverts to original
playlist/layout when no schedule is active.

Replaces the assignments-table query with a playlist_items query keyed on
device.playlist_id. Also eliminates the duplicate payload builder in
scheduler.js — it now calls the shared buildPlaylistPayload.
