Document Tenzir Gateway CORS and TLS certificate configuration#232
Conversation
Add CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS documentation for the Tenzir Gateway service, needed when the UI frontend connects directly to the gateway from a different origin (e.g. different port or domain). Add a caution note in the self-signed certificates section explaining that when the browser connects directly to the gateway, it must explicitly trust the gateway certificate. The failure mode is subtle: the UI shows only a vague "Unable to fetch pipelines" message because the browser never navigates to the gateway port directly and therefore never displays the normal untrusted-certificate warning page. https://claude.ai/code/session_01GgSV84jmGtMoBNGDnYzWse

Summary
This PR adds documentation for two important Tenzir Gateway configuration scenarios that users may encounter when setting up the platform with direct browser-to-gateway connections.
Key Changes
CORS Configuration Guide: Added documentation for the
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINSenvironment variable on thewebsocket-gatewayservice. This explains when CORS restrictions apply (when the UI and gateway are on different origins) and how to properly configure allowed origins with full scheme and port information.TLS Certificate Trust Guide: Added a caution section explaining the browser certificate trust issue that occurs when using self-signed certificates with direct gateway connections. Includes:
