 ## 3. What exists now (files that matter)
-- `public/index.html` — Landing page (title, tagline, Login/Register buttons; "Play" button when logged in with hero). Uses `GET /api/auth/me` to detect auth state.
-- `public/leaderboard.html` — Stub page (placeholder text; real UI in 10.17).
-- `public/404.html` — Custom 404 error page. "Return to Emberfall" links to `/`.
-- `public/500.html` — Custom 500 error page. "Return to Emberfall" links to `/`.
-- `src/app.js` — Root route now serves `index.html` instead of redirecting to `/login.html`.
-- `tests/integration/link-checker.test.js` — Reads all `public/*.html`, extracts local `href`/`src` values, asserts each target file exists. Skips API endpoints.
-- `tests/integration/step-10.5.test.js` — 5 tests: GET / returns 200 HTML, Play button when logged in with hero, Login/Register when no hero, anonymous shows Login/Register, 404/500 have working links.
-- `public/game.html` — Dashboard with 3-col grid (stats | action | combat), mobile bottom nav.
-- `public/js/game.js` — hunt UI + inventory UI + expedition UI + mobile nav init.
-- `public/css/main.css` — All styles including 3-col desktop grid, mobile bottom nav.
-- `public/shop.html` / `public/js/shop.js` — Shop page (buy/sell).
-- `public/login.html`, `public/register.html`, `public/create-hero.html` — Auth & hero creation.
-- `public/profile.html` / `public/js/profile.js` — Public hero profile page.
-- `public/js/auth.js` — Shared API wrapper + showError.
-- `public/js/login.js` — Login form submits to `/api/auth/login`; on success uses `data.hasHero` to redirect.
-- `public/js/create-hero.js` — Checks `/api/auth/me` on DOMContentLoaded, redirects to `/game.html` if `hasHero`.
-- `public/js/toast.js` — Shared toast notification system.
-- `src/services/expeditionService.js` — Fixed in 10.1 (energy tx params) + 10.2 (uses `applyXpGain`) + 10.3 (injectable `opts.now`/`opts.rng`).
-- `src/services/huntService.js` — Refactored in 10.2 to use `applyXpGain`.
-- `src/game/leveling.js` — Added `applyXpGain` shared function.
-- `src/utils/time.js` — `{ now, setNow, resetNow }`.
-- `src/utils/rng.js` — `{ mulberry32, rngInt, rngFloat, rngRange }`.
-- `src/routes/auth.js` — `handleRegister` and `handleLogin` set `req.session.username`.
+- `src/routes/auth.js` — Rate limiters RE-ENABLED (login: 100/15min, register: 100/1hr; 1000 in test). Added X-RateLimit-* headers to responses.
+- `src/app.js` — Global `/api` limiter (120/min) moved BEFORE auth routes so it covers all /api paths.
+- `tests/integration/rate-limiting.test.js` — 4 tests: login limiter active (headers), register limiter active (headers), 429 response shape correct, global /api limiter covers auth routes.
+- All other files from step 10.5 unchanged (landing page, leaderboard stub, link-checker, 404/500 pages).

 - **D-016:** `applyXpGain` in `src/game/leveling.js` is the single shared function for XP gain logic, used by both `huntService` and `expeditionService`.

 - **10.3:** `expeditionService.js` import changed from `const { now, setNow } = require('../utils/time')` to `const time = require('../utils/time')` — the destructured `now` variable was shadowed by the local `opts.now ?? time.now()` pattern.

 ## 7. Next-step briefing
-- **Next step: 10.6** — Restore REAL rate limiting:
-  - In `src/routes/auth.js`, the login and register limiters are no-ops (real ones commented out). Re-enable them.
-  - Login: 10 requests / 15 min / IP. Register: 5 requests / hour / IP.
-  - Use standard error envelope: `{ ok: false, error: { code: 'RATE_LIMITED', message: '...' } }`, status 429.
-  - Mount global `/api` limiter BEFORE auth routes in `src/app.js` (currently after, so it doesn't cover auth).
-  - Limits may be relaxed when `NODE_ENV=test` (e.g., 1000 req/window).
-  - Add a test: enable real limiter, send 10 bad logins → 401, 11th → 429 JSON.
+- **Next step: 10.7** — Error handling gaps:
+  - Malformed JSON body → 400 `INVALID_JSON`
+  - Body over 10kb limit → 413 `PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE`
+  - Unknown `/api/*` path → 404 JSON `{ok:false,...}` (not HTML)
+  - Replace `throw` inside `req.session.regenerate((err) => { throw ... })` with `next(err)` so a store error can't crash the process
+  - Add tests for each of the four behaviors
