<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
This PR adds a contribution note at `contributions/swarm-0083_issue_9275.md` summarizing Issue #9275: (1) improving the `gateway.bind` validation error message to list valid options, and (2) enforcing authentication when binding on non-loopback interfaces.
<h3>Confidence Score: 2/5</h3>
