🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Hardcoded secret token xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a used as an $arg_token check to bypass the block on /xmlrpc.php.
🎯 Impact: An attacker could extract the token from version control and perform brute-force or DDoS attacks against the XML-RPC endpoint, or trigger internal Nginx functionality.
πŸ”§ Fix: Removed the conditional token bypass logic and replaced it with an unconditional deny all; directive for /xmlrpc.php.
βœ… Verification: Ensure Nginx configuration is syntactically correct and curl -I https://<host>/xmlrpc.php?token=xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a returns a 403 Forbidden. I have also added an entry to .jules/sentinel.md outlining the findings and mitigation.

πŸ‘‹ Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a πŸ‘€ emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

The FrankenPHP download URL was failing in CI with a 404 because `sed` was substituting `aarch64` with `arm64`, but FrankenPHP's release assets use the raw `uname -m` outputs directly (i.e. `aarch64`). Removed the `sed` substitution so it correctly downloads `frankenphp-linux-aarch64`.
