Loopback JWKS overrides now require an explicit test escape hatch

Pointing the gateway key-set URL at loopback is now blocked unless you set CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK, which is for tests only.

CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK
What

Pointing the gateway's key-set URL at loopback is now rejected unless CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK is set, because the safe-fetch layer would block every such fetch at runtime anyway. The variable is absent by default and the surrounding errors say it exists for tests and must never be set in production.

Evidence

cri.jwks_url targets loopback but CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK is not set — safeFetch would block every JWKS fetch at runtime. Set the escape (tests) or remove the override.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
