Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR allows configured middleware to modify or terminate matched and unmatched requests before normal handling. The intended safeguards are present, but phase enforcement still depends on callers validating rules first, and the documentation does not fully match termination and nested-block behavior; the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Preserve the trusted-request bypass for rule middleware
When a rule directly names OIDC, ForwardAuth, Crowdsec, HCaptcha, or CIDRWhitelist, returning middleware.TryModifyRequest bypasses the middlewareChain.before check that skips auth-like middleware for requests marked by gphttp.WithNonUserRequest. Trusted in-process requests such as homepage favicon scrapes will therefore be redirected or blocked whenever they match such a rule, even though the normal route-middleware path deliberately exempts them. Route direct middleware actions through the same chain policy or replicate its non-user check.

Validate request-phase constraints for not-found rules
For a multiline entrypoint.rules.not_found configuration containing a response matcher or response-phase nested block, this guard is not reached during normal configuration loading: Rules.Parse returns without validation, serialization.ConvertString returns immediately after invoking that parser, and entrypoint.Config.Validate only checks ProxyProtocol before state.initEntrypoint installs the rules. The supposedly invalid configuration is therefore accepted and BuildHandler can invoke request middleware after the 404 response has been produced. Validate Rules.NotFound from the entrypoint configuration path (or make parsing enforce this constraint).

- Around line 152-195: Reduce the cognitive complexity of
commandsContainRequestPhaseOnly by extracting handling for Handler,
IfBlockCommand, and IfElseBlockCommand values and pointers into focused helper
functions. Preserve the existing recursive traversal and nil-pointer checks so
every command-block form still detects requestPhaseOnly handlers in nested Do,
Ifs, and Else branches.
