security: workbook path allowlist + stronger image polyglot validation (#54)

- dispo workbook imports are pinned to DISPO_IMPORT_DIR (default ./imports):
  tRPC input rejects absolute paths and .. segments, runtime reader
  re-validates containment via path.relative. Closes a path-traversal
  class that reached ExcelJS CVEs through admin/compromised tokens.
- image validator now checks the full 8-byte PNG magic, enforces PNG IEND
  and JPEG EOI trailers, scans the decoded buffer for markup polyglot
  markers (<script, <svg, <iframe, javascript:, onerror=, ...), and
  explicitly rejects SVG. Provider-generated covers (DALL-E, Gemini) run
  through the same validator before persistence — an untrusted upstream
  cannot smuggle a stored-XSS payload past us.
- added image-validation.test.ts and tightened documentation.

+# Gitea + Act Runner — Single-File Compose (QNAP Container Station)
+
+Eine einzige `docker-compose.yml` zum Direkt-Einfügen in Container Station. Persistente Daten liegen unter `/share/Container/gitea/` (stabiler Pfad, überlebt Stack-Recreate). Runner-Config wird beim Start inline generiert.
+
+## Vorbereitung auf der QNAP (einmalig)
+
+1. **Shared Folder `Container` existieren lassen** — falls nicht vorhanden, in File Station → New Shared Folder → Name `Container`.
+
+2. **Per SSH die Daten-Verzeichnisse anlegen** mit den korrekten Ownerships für die Container-UIDs:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /share/Container/gitea/gitea-data \
+              /share/Container/gitea/postgres-data \
+              /share/Container/gitea/act-runner-data
+
+# Postgres-Container läuft als UID 70
+sudo chown -R 70:70 /share/Container/gitea/postgres-data
+
+# Gitea läuft intern als git user (UID 1000)
+sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /share/Container/gitea/gitea-data /share/Container/gitea/act-runner-data
+```
+
+3. **Registrierungs-Token-Ablauf (wie vorher):** Erst Gitea + DB deployen (act_runner-Block auskommentiert oder mit leerem Token). Dann im Web-UI Runner-Token erzeugen → als Env-Var im Stack hinterlegen → act_runner deployen.

+## Deploy-Ablauf in Container Station
+
+**Phase 1: Gitea + DB (ohne Runner)**
+
+1. Container Station → **Applications → Create**
+2. Application Name: `gitea`
+3. Obige YAML einfügen, **aber den gesamten `act_runner`-Service-Block temporär auskommentieren** (mit `#` vor jeder Zeile, oder einfach löschen und später wieder einfügen)
+4. Create + Start
+5. Browser: `https://gitea.hartmut-noerenberg.com` → Admin-User anlegen, Repos/Orgs einrichten
+
+**Phase 2: Runner hinzufügen**
+
+6. In Gitea als Admin: **Site Administration → Actions → Runners → Create new Runner** → Token kopieren
+7. In Container Station: Stack `gitea` → **Edit** → `act_runner`-Block wieder einfügen → unter **Environment Variables** hinzufügen:
+   - Key: `GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN`
+   - Value: `<Token aus Schritt 6>`
+8. Stack neu deployen
+9. Logs prüfen:
+   ```bash
+   docker logs -f gitea-act-runner
+   # Erwartet: "Runner registered successfully" + "Listening for tasks"
+   ```
+10. In Gitea: **Site Administration → Actions → Runners** → `qnap-runner-1` mit Status `Idle`
+
+## Warum absolute Pfade
+
+Relative Pfade (`./gitea-data`) werden von Container Station relativ zum internen Application-Directory aufgelöst (`/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/application/<stack>/…`). Beim Ersetzen oder Neuanlegen eines Stacks kann Container Station dieses Directory neu erzeugen oder löschen — das führt zum Datenverlust wie beim letzten Versuch.
+
+Absolute Pfade unter `/share/Container/gitea/` sind **außerhalb** der Container-Station-Verwaltung. Stack kann beliebig gelöscht, umbenannt, migriert werden — die Daten bleiben, weil Container Station sie nicht als "seine" Volumes betrachtet.
+
+## Repo-Secrets für CI/CD
+
+Im capakraken-Repo → **Settings → Actions → Secrets** eintragen:
+
+| Secret                  | Zweck                                  |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `STAGING_SSH_KEY`       | Private SSH-Key für Deploy             |
+| `STAGING_SSH_HOST`      | Staging-Hostname                       |
+| `STAGING_SSH_PORT`      | SSH-Port (meist `22`)                  |
+| `STAGING_SSH_USER`      | Deploy-User                            |
+| `STAGING_DEPLOY_PATH`   | Deploy-Verzeichnis auf Staging-Host    |
+| `STAGING_APP_HOST_PORT` | App-Port auf dem Host                  |
+| `STAGING_GHCR_USERNAME` | Registry-User                          |
+| `STAGING_GHCR_TOKEN`    | Registry-Token mit Package-Write-Scope |
+| `PROD_*`                | Analog für Produktion                  |
+
+## Backup-Empfehlung (nach diesem Vorfall umso wichtiger)
+
+Tägliches Backup per Cron oder QNAP-Snapshot auf `/share/Container/gitea/`:
+
+```bash
+# Beispiel — in QNAP Cron oder Systemd-Timer
+sudo tar -czf /share/Backups/gitea-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /share/Container/gitea/
+# Retention: letzte 14 Tage behalten
+find /share/Backups/ -name 'gitea-*.tar.gz' -mtime +14 -delete
+```
+
+Zusätzlich: QNAP **Storage & Snapshots** → Volume-Snapshots für `/share/Container/` aktivieren.
+
+## Sicherheits-Notiz
+
+`/var/run/docker.sock` ist gemountet, damit `release-image.yml` Images bauen kann. Das gibt jedem Workflow-Job vollen Zugriff auf den QNAP-Docker-Daemon — akzeptabel für Single-Tenant mit eigenen Repos. Für untrusted Repos stattdessen docker-in-docker Sidecar (auf Anfrage).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Runner registriert sich nicht:**
+
+- Token abgelaufen → neuen in Gitea-UI erzeugen → Env-Var aktualisieren → `act_runner`-Container neu starten
+- `GITEA_INSTANCE_URL` muss im internen Docker-Netz erreichbar sein (`http://gitea:3000`), nicht über Nginx-Proxy
+- Fehler `open /data/.runner: no such file or directory` → der custom `entrypoint` überschreibt das Standard-Auto-Register-Skript des Images. Lösung: expliziter `act_runner register`-Aufruf vor `daemon` (siehe oben im Entrypoint-Block)
+- Fehler `instance address is empty` trotz gesetzter Env-Vars → Docker Compose interpoliert `$VAR` im YAML **bevor** der Container startet. Im Entrypoint-Skript müssen Variablen als `$$VAR` geschrieben werden, damit ein literales `$` an den Container geht und von der Shell zur Laufzeit aufgelöst wird
+
+**Postgres startet nicht, "permission denied":**
+
+- `postgres-data` gehört nicht UID 70 → `sudo chown -R 70:70 /share/Container/gitea/postgres-data`
+
+**Gitea startet nicht, "cannot create /data/...":**
+
+- `gitea-data` gehört nicht UID 1000 → `sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /share/Container/gitea/gitea-data`
+
+**Jobs scheitern bei Docker-Operationen:**
+
+- Socket-Mount prüfen
+- `container.network` in der inline-generierten Runner-Config muss zum echten Docker-Netzwerknamen passen (`docker network ls`)
+- Fehler `docker: command not found` → Job-Container hat kein Docker-CLI. Runner-Label muss ein Image verwenden, das `docker` mitbringt (z.B. `catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest`). `node:*`-Images reichen nicht, weil dort nur Node installiert ist
+- Fehler `Get "https://github.com/..." ... dial tcp: lookup github.com on 127.0.0.11:53: server misbehaving` → Docker-interner DNS im `gitea_gitea`-Netz forwarded unzuverlässig. Fix: `container.options: "--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 1.1.1.1"` in der Runner-Config setzen, damit Job-Container externen DNS direkt nutzen
+
+**DNS-Timeouts / `server misbehaving` beim `actions/checkout`-Clone — komplette Lösung:**
+
+Symptom: Jobs scheitern mit
+
+```text
+Get "https://github.com/actions/checkout/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack":
+dial tcp: lookup github.com on 127.0.0.11:53: server misbehaving
+```
+
+oder hängen minutenlang bei `cloning https://github.com/actions/checkout`.
+
+### Die Fallstricke (wichtig zum Verstehen, warum es ZWEI Fixes braucht)
+
+`act_runner` führt beim Start eines Jobs **zwei unabhängige** Clone-Operationen aus:
+
+1. **Im act_runner-Prozess selbst** (vor Job-Container-Start): clont Actions nach `/data/workflows/...`, benutzt seine eigene `/etc/resolv.conf`.
+2. **Im Job-Sub-Container** (während Job-Run): benutzt seine eigene `/etc/resolv.conf`.
+
+**Beides** zeigt per Default auf `127.0.0.11` (Dockers embedded DNS im `gitea_gitea`-Netz), das wiederum an den QNAP-Host-Upstream forwarded. Dieser Upstream ist auf QNAP oft unzuverlässig → `server misbehaving`.
+
+Der `container.options: "--dns ..."`-Eintrag in der Runner-`config.yaml` betrifft **nur Fall 2** (Job-Sub-Container). Fall 1 (act_runner selbst) braucht einen separaten Fix am Compose-Service.
+
+### Copy-Paste-Lösung (beide Ebenen gleichzeitig)
+
+**1) Am `act_runner`-Service in der compose — setzt seine eigene `/etc/resolv.conf` auf Upstream-DNS** (in der obigen compose.yml schon eingebaut):
+
+```yaml
+act_runner:
+  image: gitea/act_runner:latest
+  # ... restliche Config ...
+  dns:
+    - 8.8.8.8
+    - 1.1.1.1
+  dns_search: []
+```
+
+**2) In der inline-generierten `/config.yaml` — setzt Upstream-DNS in jedem Job-Sub-Container** (ebenfalls schon eingebaut):
+
+```yaml
+container:
+  network: gitea_gitea
+  options: "--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 1.1.1.1 --dns-search ."
+  # `--dns-search .` entfernt jede geerbte Search-Domain → keine verirrten NXDOMAIN-Retries
+```
+
+Nach dem Ändern: Stack neu deployen, damit der act_runner-Container mit der neuen DNS-Config startet.
+
+### Verifikation nach dem Deploy
+
+```bash
+# 1. DNS aus Sicht des act_runner-Containers selbst — muss sofort eine IP liefern
+docker exec gitea-act-runner sh -c 'cat /etc/resolv.conf && nslookup github.com'
+# Erwartet: nameserver 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1, nicht 127.0.0.11
+#           Name: github.com, Address: 140.82.x.x
+
+# 2. DNS aus Sicht eines Job-Sub-Containers
+docker run --rm --network gitea_gitea --dns 8.8.8.8 alpine:3 \
+  sh -c 'apk add --no-cache bind-tools >/dev/null && dig +short github.com'
+# Erwartet: sofortige IP-Antwort
+```
+
+Hängen oder `server misbehaving` → siehe Alternativen unten.
+
+### Alternative A — Docker-Daemon global fixen (robuster, wirkt auf ALLE Container)
+
+In `/etc/docker/daemon.json` auf dem QNAP:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dns": ["8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1", "9.9.9.9"],
+  "dns-opts": ["ndots:1", "timeout:2", "attempts:3"]
+}
+```
+
+Dann Docker-Daemon restart (Container Station → Advanced → Restart Docker). Macht die compose-seitigen `dns:`-Einträge überflüssig, hilft aber auch jedem anderen Container.
+
+### Alternative B — Pre-warm der Action-Repos (umgeht den Clone komplett)
+
+`act_runner` cached bereits geklonte Action-Repos unter `/data/cache/actions`. Einmal manuell anstoßen:
+
+```bash
+docker exec gitea-act-runner sh -c '
+  mkdir -p /data/cache/actions/github.com/actions &&
+  cd /data/cache/actions/github.com/actions &&
+  for repo in checkout setup-node cache upload-artifact download-artifact; do
+    [ -d "$repo" ] || git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/actions/$repo"
+  done
+'
+```
+
+Danach laufen Jobs ohne DNS-Dependency zu github.com durch, solange der Cache nicht gelöscht wird.
+
+### Alternative C — Host-Network für Job-Container
+
+```yaml
+container:
+  network: host
+  # options ohne --dns
+```
+
+Nachteil: Jobs sehen Host-Ports (Security-Impact bei Multi-Tenant). Nur als Notnagel.
+
+### Parallele-Job-Drosselung
+
+Parallele Job-Starts erzeugen kurzzeitig 5–10 gleichzeitige DNS-Lookups; wenn dein Upstream-DNS drosselt, hängen Connects ohne sauberes Fail. Dann in der Runner-`config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+runner:
+  capacity: 2 # statt 4 — reduziert parallele Starts
+```
+
+**Debug-Snippet — wer resolved gerade was:**
+
+```bash
+# Alle Container mit ihrer resolv.conf-Config
+for c in $(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'); do
+  echo "=== $c ==="; docker exec "$c" cat /etc/resolv.conf 2>/dev/null
+done
+```
+
+**`uses: actions/checkout@v4` schlägt fehl:**
+
+- `GITEA__actions__DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=https://github.com` gesetzt?
+- Gitea-Container braucht Outbound-Internetzugang zu github.com

+### Prompt-Injection Guard (defense-in-depth only)
+
+`packages/api/src/lib/prompt-guard.ts` runs a short regex list against every
+free-text user prompt sent to an AI tool (assistant chat + project-cover
+DALL-E prompt). Input is normalised before the regex runs:
+
+1. Unicode NFKD decomposition (collapses fullwidth / compatibility forms and
+   splits diacritics from their base letter).
+2. Strip zero-width / directional / combining code points that attackers use
+   to break contiguous substring matches.
+3. Fold a small set of Cyrillic / Greek homoglyphs to their Latin
+   equivalents.
+
+This guard is **defense-in-depth, not an authorisation boundary**. The actual
+security boundary for AI-initiated actions is the per-tool
+`requirePermission(ctx, PermissionKey.*)` check inside every assistant tool —
+an LLM that has been successfully jailbroken still cannot perform an action
+its caller's role does not allow. Motivated adversaries **will** find prompts
+that defeat the regex layer; its purpose is to raise the cost of casual
+injection attempts and to surface them as audit-log entries.
