git worktree instead of stash

Reviewing a colleague's branch while your own work is half done does not need a stash. A worktree checks the other branch out into a second directory, sharing the same repository.

git worktree add ../review feat/thing
cd ../review && pnpm install

Two editors, two dev servers, no lost changes. git worktree remove ../review when you are done.

Session cookies: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax

securityhttp

Three attributes, each closing a class of attack. HttpOnly keeps scripts from reading it. Secure keeps it off plain HTTP. SameSite=Lax stops it being sent on cross-site POSTs, which is most CSRF.

Set-Cookie: session=...; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=1209600

Strict breaks arriving from an external link while logged in. Lax is the default worth keeping.
