Module control 

The control API: the only path that will ever be allowed to write.

No CORS headers are emitted anywhere in this module, and OPTIONS is refused. That combination is the security boundary, so it is worth spelling out.

A page served under an alias origin is untrusted code. If it tries to reach the control API it has to send the token header; a custom header is not CORS-safelisted, so sending it forces a preflight; and a refused preflight means the request is never made. Without the header the request is a 401 instead. An extension is outside CORS by virtue of its host permissions, so none of this impedes it.

The listener also only routes here for requests whose Host is the loopback address, which guard::classify already separates from alias requests. A proxied request cannot arrive here at all.
