Claude b797602cbc Fix Plex/Emby Authelia caveat: Case 4, not Case 3
Native clients (mobile, TV, desktop) DO route through Caddy via FQDN,
but cannot complete Authelia's browser-redirect login flow -- they get a
302 to auth.DOMAIN and fail. `import authelia` breaks all native clients.

Correct setup is Case 4: Caddy terminates TLS, import accesslog for
fail2ban, NO import authelia. Plex/Emby token auth handles access control.

# env vars (Caddy's own .env, systemd EnvironmentFile, or compose env:).
# Only the upstream IPs need manual editing.

# CASE 2b -- App supports OIDC. Authelia acts as the OIDC provider.
#
# What is OIDC? OpenID Connect is an identity protocol on top of OAuth 2.0.
# Authelia becomes the "identity provider" (IdP). Apps redirect users to
# auth.DOMAIN, Authelia authenticates them and issues a signed token (JWT),
# then redirects back. The app trusts the token instead of checking a password.
#
# The Caddy config is identical to case 2a: `import authelia` gates the request.
# The difference is all on the app side -- it does a token exchange with
# Authelia's OIDC endpoint rather than reading a Remote-User header.
#
# SETUP REQUIRED in authelia/configuration.yml:
# Add an identity_providers.oidc block with a client entry for each app.
# Each app gets its own client_id and client_secret.
# See: https://www.authelia.com/configuration/identity-providers/openid-connect/
#
# Result: users never set a password in the app itself. After OIDC is working,
# disable all local accounts in the app -- Authelia is the only credential.
