Loopback (localhost) requests such as internal health checks were toggling the scale-to-zero control file, keeping VMs alive indefinitely. The middleware now detects loopback addresses and passes them through without touching scale-to-zero state. Also adds info-level logging around the control-file writes and covers the new behaviour with unit tests. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
Loopback requests — such as internal health checks / playwright daemon connections — were toggling the scale-to-zero control file, keeping VMs alive indefinitely and driving up usage costs.
Changes:
Note
Low Risk
Small, localized change to request middleware behavior plus additional logging and tests; primary risk is mis-detecting client IPs when
RemoteAddrdoesn’t reflect the true origin behind proxies.Overview
Prevents internal/loopback HTTP traffic from affecting VM scale-to-zero behavior by having the
scaletozeroHTTP middleware bypassDisable/EnablewhenRemoteAddris a loopback IP (via newisLoopbackAddr).Adds unit coverage for the middleware behavior (external vs loopback, and disable error handling) and increases controller observability by logging info-level messages when the scale-to-zero control file is missing or successfully written.
