Renew security.txt before it expires on Cloudflare

Why it matters

The file expires within the next weeks, after which researchers may stop trusting it. Renewing now avoids a gap.

The fix

1. If the file is managed in Cloudflare, open Security, Settings, Web application exploits, Security.txt, Configurations, set a new Expires at date and Save.
2. Put a reminder in your calendar a month before the new date.
