Conversation
Bump the bundled free-tier DB-IP IP-to-Country Lite database from the 2026-08 release to the latest available 2026-10 release, and update the default geodb path accordingly. Verified the new file is a valid MMDB (binary format 2.0, database_type DBIP-Country-Lite, build date 2026-10-01, 1383101 nodes) and that the records the E2E suite relies on still behave as expected: 8.8.8.8 and 2001:4860:4860::8888 resolve, 192.0.2.1 (TEST-NET) does not.

🟢 Tier S · Ready to merge
Updates the default GeoIP database path from the August 2026 release to October 2026 and bundles the corresponding MMDB asset. The environment override and lookup handler remain unchanged.

Bumps the bundled free-tier DB-IP IP-to-Country Lite database from the
2026-08release to the latest available2026-10release, and updates the defaultgeodbpath inServer.phpaccordingly.Monthly refresh keeps IP-to-country lookups accurate as address blocks get reallocated.

Metadata of the new file, parsed from the MMDB metadata section:
database_typeRecord shape is unchanged (
country.iso_code,country.names,continent.code,continent.names), soGet.phpneeds no changes.Spot-checked the lookups the E2E suite depends on against the new database:
8.8.8.8→US/NA2001:4860:4860::8888→CA/NA192.0.2.1(RFC 5737 TEST-NET) → no record, so the handler returns--1.1.1.1→AU/OC,91.198.174.192→NL/EUThe E2E workflow on this PR exercises the same paths through the running server.
