RyanandClaude Sonnet 5.5 20d69b93b7 Use plain Mermaid diagrams again and drop the SVG images
The preview problems were caused by the diagram text, which is now fixed in
every copy, so the pre-rendered SVGs (white background, harder to keep in
sync) are no longer needed. Also updates docker/docs with the fixed text.

mqtt-security-test

Prototype of secure board enrollment over MQTT: a Go backend and two simulated boards (C with libsodium, C++ with OpenSSL) talk through a real Mosquitto 2.1 broker with Dynamic Security, using an X25519 key agreement so the broker password is never transmitted.

  • DEMO.md: what the demo is, what it does and the 19 checks each board performs.
  • docker/README.md: how to run it and read the web view.
  • Design docs (copied from the backend repo, where they live under docs/investigations/; links to other backend-repo files appear there as plain text):
    • docs/sn-as-username-process.md: the full raw board to FN to SN process with SN as the broker username, with the threat model.
    • docs/enrollment-and-activation.md: the FN-as-username and SN-as-username models compared.
    • docs/mqtt-dynamic-security-rnd.md: the original R&D notes.
    • The diagrams are plain Mermaid. They avoid ;, |, +, {} and <...> inside sequence-diagram messages, which broke the GoLand and Typora previews, and parse on Mermaid 11.13.0 (the lowest version those tools bundle).
  • go/, c/, c-libsodium/, cpp/, run.sh, run-libsodium.sh: fixed-key programs that check the crypto libraries against the RFC test vectors and against each other.

Run locally

cd docker && ./run-docker.sh      # web view on http://localhost:8099, with the "Run again" button

Deployment

Every push to main runs .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml on the Gitea runner: it validates the compose files, builds all images, redeploys the stack on the server's Docker daemon with the web view published on port 8099 (http://<server-ip>:8099) and fails unless both boards pass all checks. The public web view cannot restart anything itself (that would need the Docker socket). Its "Run again (via Gitea)" button opens the Gitea Actions page for .gitea/workflows/restart.yml; run that workflow there ("Run workflow") to replay the whole demo on the server without rebuilding. Only people with access to the repository can do that. To run a stack locally with a self-contained button instead, use docker/run-docker.sh (it adds docker/compose.restart.yaml, which mounts the Docker socket: local use only).

The compose file contains demo secrets (broker and service passwords, a signing seed) that protect nothing real. Do not reuse them anywhere else.
