+# Pre-baked CI base image for Woodpecker pipelines.
+#
+# Purpose: eliminate the cold `pnpm install` that dominates every pipeline
+# (~731s median). This image ships the native toolchain (no per-run `apk add`)
+# AND a warm, content-addressable pnpm store with the dependency-tree tarballs
+# already fetched at build time. `pnpm fetch` only populates the store from the
+# lockfile — it does NOT run the native node-gyp builds (better-sqlite3,
+# node-pty, sqlite3, canvas, sharp); those still compile at `pnpm install`,
+# which is exactly why the musl toolchain stays baked into this image. A
+# pipeline `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline` then resolves
+# tarballs from local hard-links (no network) and compiles natives against the
+# already-present toolchain, in tens of seconds instead of ~731s.
+#
+# Rebuilt only when `pnpm-lock.yaml` or this Dockerfile change
+# (see .woodpecker/ci-image.yml).
+#
+# Node version is pinned to 24 (Active LTS). This is the follow-up bump from
+# node:22 — sequenced AFTER the CI cache work landed so the runtime change
+# carries zero cache variables. node:26 stays held until it reaches LTS
+# (Oct 2026); the Current line risks native-module (node-gyp) breakage on a
+# runner that compiles better-sqlite3 / canvas / sharp / node-pty from source.

+ * CaService — Step-CA client for federation grant certificate issuance.
+ *
+ * Responsibilities:
+ *  1. Build a JWK-provisioner One-Time Token (OTT) signed with the provisioner
+ *     private key (ES256/ES384/RS256 per JWK kty/crv) carrying Mosaic-specific
+ *     claims (`mosaic_grant_id`, `mosaic_subject_user_id`, `step.sha`) per the
+ *     step-ca JWK provisioner protocol.
+ *  2. POST the CSR + OTT to the step-ca `/1.0/sign` endpoint over HTTPS,
+ *     pinning the trust to the CA root cert supplied via env.
+ *  3. Return an IssuedCertDto containing the leaf cert, full chain, and
+ *     serial number.
+ *
+ * Environment variables (all required at runtime — validated in constructor):
+ *   STEP_CA_URL                   https://step-ca:9000
+ *   STEP_CA_PROVISIONER_KEY_JSON  JWK provisioner private key (JSON)
+ *   STEP_CA_ROOT_CERT_PATH        Absolute path to the CA root PEM
+ *
+ * Optional (only used for JWK PBES2 decrypt at startup if key is encrypted):
+ *   STEP_CA_PROVISIONER_PASSWORD  JWK provisioner password (raw string)
+ *
+ * Custom OID registry (PRD §6, docs/federation/SETUP.md):
+ *   1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.1  — mosaic_grant_id
+ *   1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.2  — mosaic_subject_user_id
+ *
+ * Fail-loud contract:
+ *   Every error path throws CaServiceError with a human-readable `remediation`
+ *   field. Silent OID-stripping is NEVER allowed — if the sign response does
+ *   not include the cert, we throw rather than return a cert that may be
+ *   missing the custom extensions.

+ * Unit tests for FederationClientService (FED-M3-08).
+ *
+ * HTTP mocking strategy:
+ *   undici MockAgent is used to intercept outbound HTTP requests.  The service
+ *   uses `undici.fetch` with a `dispatcher` option, so MockAgent is set as the
+ *   global dispatcher and all requests flow through it.
+ *
+ *   Because the service builds one `undici.Agent` per peer and passes it as
+ *   the dispatcher on every fetch call, we cannot intercept at the Agent level
+ *   in unit tests without significant refactoring.  Instead, we set the global
+ *   dispatcher to a MockAgent and override the service's `doRequest` indirection
+ *   by spying on the internal fetch call.
+ *
+ *   For the cert/key wiring, we use the real `sealClientKey` function from
+ *   peer-key.util.ts with a test secret — no stubs.
+ *
+ * Sealed-key setup:
+ *   Each test (or beforeAll) calls `sealClientKey(TEST_PRIVATE_KEY_PEM)` with
+ *   BETTER_AUTH_SECRET set to a deterministic test value so that
+ *   `unsealClientKey` in the service recovers the original PEM.

+/**
+ * FederationClientService — outbound mTLS client for federation requests (FED-M3-08).
+ *
+ * Dials peer gateways over mTLS using the cert+sealed-key stored in `federation_peers`,
+ * invokes federation verbs (list / get / capabilities), and surfaces all failure modes
+ * as typed `FederationClientError` instances.
+ *
+ * ## Error code taxonomy
+ *
+ * | Code               | When                                                          |
+ * | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+ * | PEER_NOT_FOUND     | No row in federation_peers for the given peerId               |
+ * | PEER_INACTIVE      | Peer row exists but state !== 'active'                        |
+ * | PEER_MISCONFIGURED | Peer row is active but missing endpointUrl or clientKeyPem    |
+ * | NETWORK            | undici threw a connection / TLS / timeout error               |
+ * | HTTP_{status}      | Peer returned a non-2xx response (e.g. HTTP_403, HTTP_404)    |
+ * | FORBIDDEN          | Peer returned 403 (convenience alias alongside HTTP_403)      |
+ * | INVALID_RESPONSE   | Response body failed Zod schema validation                    |
+ *
+ * ## Cache strategy
+ *
+ * Per-peer `undici.Agent` instances are cached in a `Map<peerId, AgentCacheEntry>` for
+ * the lifetime of the service instance.  The cache is keyed on peerId (UUID).
+ *
+ * Cache invalidation:
+ *  - `flushPeer(peerId)` — removes the entry immediately.  M5/M6 MUST call this on
+ *    cert rotation or peer revocation events so the next request re-reads the DB and
+ *    builds a fresh TLS Agent with the new cert material.
+ *  - On cache miss: re-reads the DB, checks state === 'active', rebuilds Agent.
+ *
+ * Cache does NOT auto-expire.  The service is expected to be a singleton scoped to the
+ * NestJS application lifecycle; flushing on revocation/rotation is the only invalidation
+ * path by design (avoids redundant DB round-trips on the hot path).

+/**
+ * FederationAuthGuard — NestJS CanActivate guard for inbound federation requests.
+ *
+ * Validates the mTLS client certificate presented by a peer gateway, extracts
+ * custom OIDs to identify the grant + subject user, loads the grant from DB,
+ * asserts it is active, and verifies the cert serial against the registered peer
+ * cert serial as a defense-in-depth measure.
+ *
+ * On success, attaches `request.federationContext` for downstream verb controllers.
+ * On failure, responds with the federation wire-format error envelope (not raw
+ * NestJS exception JSON) to match the federation protocol contract.
+ *
+ * ## Cert-serial check decision
+ * The guard validates that the inbound client cert's serial number matches the
+ * `certSerial` stored on the associated `federation_peers` row. This is a
+ * defense-in-depth measure: even if the mTLS handshake is compromised at the
+ * transport layer (e.g. misconfigured TLS terminator that forwards arbitrary
+ * client certs), an attacker cannot replay a cert with a different serial than
+ * what was registered during enrollment. This check is NOT loosened because:
+ *  1. It is O(1) — no additional DB round-trip (peerId is on the grant row,
+ *     so we join to federationPeers in the same query).
+ *  2. Cert renewal MUST update the stored serial — enforced by M6 scheduler.
+ *  3. The OID-only path (without serial check) would allow any cert from the
+ *     same CA bearing the same grantId OID to succeed after cert compromise.
+ *
+ * ## FastifyRequest typing path
+ * NestJS + Fastify wraps the raw Node.js IncomingMessage in a FastifyRequest.
+ * The underlying TLS socket is accessed via `request.raw.socket`, which is a
+ * `tls.TLSSocket` when the server is listening on HTTPS. In development/test
+ * the gateway may run over plain HTTP, in which case `getPeerCertificate` is
+ * not available. The guard safely handles both cases by checking for the
+ * method's existence before calling it.
+ *
+ * Note: The guard reads the peer certificate from the *already-completed*
+ * TLS handshake via `socket.getPeerCertificate(detailed=true)`. This relies
+ * on the server being configured with `requestCert: true` at the TLS level
