+## SECURITY: never serve config / VCS dotfiles over HTTP (standalone cac).

+## Same named list as WHP's shared-httpd drop-in (web-files/configs/
+## shared-httpd-security.conf, 000-whp-security.conf on every shared-httpd host),
+## re-rooted from /mnt/users to /home because here the docroot is

+## <FilesMatch> matches the FILENAME resolved from the filesystem path, not the
+## request URL, so it cannot be side-stepped by URL-encoding. httpd applies
+## <Directory> sections (and .htaccess) first and <Files>/<FilesMatch> after
+## them, so this deny wins over create-vhost.sh's `Require all granted`.
