+## Score convention
+
+Every score in Beacon is a **safety score**: an integer 0–10 where **10 = clearly
+safe** and **0 = clearly a scam** (≥7 safe, 4–6 uncertain, ≤3 scam — the same
+thresholds as the extension's `toVerdict()`). This applies to the
+`heuristic_score` request field and the `safety_score` response field alike.
+Nothing is ever inverted on the wire.
+
 ## Environment variables
 
 | Variable | Required | Description |
 |---|---|---|
 | `USE_MOCK` | No (default: `true`) | Skip Gemini and use a deterministic mock. No API key needed. |
-| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Only if `USE_MOCK=false` | Gemini API key for live LLM analysis. |
+| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Only if `USE_MOCK=false` | Gemini API key for live LLM analysis. Server-side only — never ships to clients. |
 | `GEMINI_MODEL` | No (default: `gemini-2.5-flash-lite`) | Gemini model name. Override to migrate to a newer model without a code change. |
-| `BEACON_API_KEY` | **Required when `USE_MOCK=false`** | Secret shared with the extension. Server refuses to start without it in production mode. Leave empty in mock/dev mode (a warning is logged). |
-| `RATE_LIMIT` | No (default: `1/minute`) | Max requests per IP per time window (e.g. `10/minute`, `100/hour`). |
-| `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | No (default: `*`) | Comma-separated list of allowed CORS origins. Set to your extension's `chrome-extension://<id>` once published to the Chrome Web Store. |
+| `ALLOWED_EXTENSION_ORIGINS` | Recommended in production | Comma-separated `Origin` allowlist, e.g. `chrome-extension://<id>`. Also used as the CORS allowlist. Empty = accept all origins (dev; a warning is logged). |
+| `RATE_LIMIT` | No (default: `5/minute;60/day`) | Per-IP limits, `;`-separated (e.g. `10/minute;100/day`). |
+| `FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS` | Behind a proxy | IP/CIDR of the trusted reverse proxy, so rate limiting sees real client IPs. |
+
+> **Tip:** Keep `USE_MOCK=true` while developing. Switch to `USE_MOCK=false` only when you need a real Gemini response.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+- `POST /v1/analyze` — Tier 2 analysis. Request/response schemas in `schemas.py`.
+- `GET /health` — liveness probe, no auth, no rate limit.
 
 > **Tip:** Keep `USE_MOCK=true` while developing. Switch to `USE_MOCK=false` only when you need a real Gemini response.
