Every fix on this branch already reached dev through the port in bcee4bf
("apply audit remediations to dev"), adapted to dev's code and in several
places hardened further (0600-at-open xmrig config, strict 127.0.0.0/8
loopback check, metadata cap centralised in httpGetString). F14-1 and F8-2
were fixed independently on dev. All 10 conflicting files therefore resolve
to dev's side, which drops nothing.
The one thing dev lacked is the F14-1 regression test: a quoted empty
console argument ("") must be kept rather than shifting later positional
RPC params. This merge brings that test in.
