Subject: [PATCH 01/15] security: harden Dockerfile and modernize CI/CD
 workflows (#140) (#1)

* fix(security): patch container vulnerabilities and harden Dockerfile (#140)

- Resolved 18 High and 26 Medium vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-42499, etc.) by upgrading OS packages.
- Addressed transitive Go-based vulnerabilities within the Docker CLI and system libraries.
- Restructured build into explicit stages (base, build, final) for better security isolation.
- Implemented GPG key verification for Docker repository to ensure package integrity.
- Maintained non-root 'app' user execution for production hardening.

* ci: trigger build validation

- Minor comment adjustment to trigger GitHub Actions build.
- Verifying multi-stage Dockerfile logic and architecture mapping.

* test: add docker smoke test for security updates

- Added temporary workflow to verify Dockerfile syntax and multi-stage logic.
- Ensuring apt-get upgrade and GPG key verification work as intended.
- Validating non-root user transitions.

* ci: add GitHub Action for automated Docker build verification

- Created docker-build-check.yml to automate Dockerfile validation.
- Configured to trigger on push, pull_request, and manual dispatch.
- Ensures future changes to the Dockerfile do not break image builds.

* ci: remove redundant smoke test workflow

* ci: modernize Docker workflows and upgrade actions to 2026 standards

- Upgraded docker/setup-buildx-action to v4.
- Upgraded docker/login-action to v4.
- Upgraded docker/build-push-action to v7.
- Added id-token permissions for OIDC build attestations.
- Refactored GHCR login to use GITHUB_TOKEN for improved security.
- Simplified tag generation using native GitHub context variables.

* ci: optimize .NET build workflow with caching and hardened permissions

- Enabled NuGet package caching in setup-dotnet@v4 for faster CI cycles.
- Hardened security by reducing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to read-only.
- Standardized checkout logic for Pull Request triggers.
- Added normal verbosity to test output for better mobile debugging.

* ci: modernize multi-arch unstable builds and streamline testing

- Upgraded Docker actions to v4 (setup/login) and v7 (build-push).
- Implemented OIDC id-token permissions for secure build provenance.
- Refactored GHCR auth to use native GITHUB_TOKEN.
- Optimized multi-arch test matrix by replacing 50s sleep with direct binary verification.
- Standardized architecture naming for arm/v7 across workflows.

* ci: refine docker build check with v7 action and gha caching

- Corrected Buildx setup to use docker/setup-buildx-action@v4.
- Migrated raw docker build command to docker/build-push-action@v7.
- Enabled GitHub Actions (GHA) caching for faster subsequent builds.
- Set push to false to ensure this remains a validation-only check.

* ci: fix build failure by removing NuGet cache requirement

- Removed 'cache: true' from setup-dotnet@v4.
- Resolved "Dependencies lock file is not found" error.
- Standardized build workflow for repositories without packages.lock.json.

Subject: [PATCH 04/15] feat: harden Dockerfile with multi-stage builds and
 non-root security

- Refactored Dockerfile into a multi-stage build (base, build, final).
- Implemented security hardening by patching OS vulnerabilities in the base stage.
- Added non-root 'app' user execution for least-privilege security.
- Resolved UnauthorizedAccessException (Exit Code 139) by pre-creating /app/data with correct ownership.
- Integrated Docker CLI with GPG verification for internal container logic.
- Optimized for multi-architecture support (amd64, arm64, arm/v7).

Subject: [PATCH 05/15] ci: optimize unstable workflow with 2026 standards and
 smoke tests

- Updated QEMU and Buildx actions to v4.
- Implemented 60-second timeout smoke test for all architectures (amd64, arm64, arm/v7).
- Added 'fail-fast: false' to test matrix for better diagnostic visibility.
- Enabled provenance and SBOM attestations in build-push-action v7.
- Verified database migration and startup sequence via GitHub Actions logs.

Subject: [PATCH 06/15] test: optimize multi-arch smoke test to prevent
 emulation timeouts

- Switched from full app initialization to '--help' flag verification.
- Prevents TaskCanceledException on arm/v7 caused by QEMU emulation slowness.
- Maintains binary integrity verification across amd64, arm64, and arm/v7.
- Reduces total CI/CD runtime by avoiding unnecessary web-server boot during tests.

Subject: [PATCH 08/15] test: implement robust timeout for multi-arch smoke
 tests

- Reverted to 'timeout' logic to ensure tests conclude after successful boot.
- Increased duration to 180s to accommodate slow arm/v7 QEMU emulation.
- Added exit code 124 handling to treat timeout as a successful health check.
- Standardized cross-platform verification across amd64, arm64, and arm/v7.

Subject: [PATCH 12/15] refactor: modernize dockerfile for .NET 10 on Ubuntu
 26.04 LTS

- Updated base OS and Docker repositories to Ubuntu 26.04 (resolute).
- Implemented robust architecture mapping with explicit error exits for unsupported platforms.
- Added Docker HEALTHCHECK for proactive application monitoring.
- Converted DOTNET_EnableDiagnostics to an ARG-backed ENV for security-first profiling.
- Consolidated directory ownership and permissions for the non-root 'app' user.

Subject: [PATCH 14/15] refactor: harden dockerfile architecture and permission
 logic

- Restricted ARM builds to v7 variants using TARGETVARIANT validation.
- Fixed permission regression by moving volume chown after artifact COPY.
- Narrowed ownership changes to only writable data directories.
- Maintains Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute compatibility for .NET 10.
