Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Focused on standardizing client IP retrieval in Netflix/zuul to improve security, observability, and future header-based enhancements. Implemented a centralized, protected getClientIp method on ClientRequestReceiver, establishing a single source of truth for the client IP and paving the way for XFF/ppv2 header support. All work is tracked under commit f7048c2602d126b7a087b8794942c99d6b0d1805 (Extract client ip method (#1929)).
