+
+## Account Linking
+
+On login, Shelfmark matches the OIDC identity to a user account in this order:
+
+1. **OIDC subject** — a user who has logged in through this provider before.
+2. **Email** — a local account with the same (unique) email address. This only happens when the provider also asserts `email_verified: true` for the address; an unverified email would let anyone claim a local account by registering its address at the IdP.
+3. Otherwise, a new account is created when **Auto-Provision Users** is enabled (username conflicts get a numeric suffix), or the login is rejected with "Account not found" when it is disabled.
+
+If the `email_verified` claim is missing or `false`, email linking is silently skipped — a common surprise when the address was never verified at the identity provider (e.g. Keycloak's **Email verified** toggle on the user, or Authentik accounts created without email verification).

+- **No token signing keys (empty JWKS)** — The provider's JWKS endpoint returned no keys, so ID tokens can't be verified. In Authentik this happens when the provider has no **Signing Key** selected; pick one (e.g. the default self-signed certificate) and try again.
 - **Issuer validation failed** — The issuer in the token doesn't match the discovery document. Check your provider's external URL / issuer configuration.
 - **Callback URL mismatch** — Reverse proxy isn't forwarding `X-Forwarded-Proto` or `X-Forwarded-Host`, so the constructed callback URL doesn't match what's registered in the provider.

+#### WireGuard VPN Routing
+Optional WireGuard support to route all external egress through a VPN tunnel with a fail-closed kill-switch:
+```bash
+curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calibrain/shelfmark/main/compose/docker-compose.wireguard.yml
+# place your wg-quick config where the compose mounts /config, as wg0.conf
+docker compose -f docker-compose.wireguard.yml up -d
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Requires root startup
+- Requires `NET_ADMIN` and `NET_RAW` capabilities
+- Mount a standard wg-quick config at `WIREGUARD_CONFIG` (default `/config/wg0.conf`)
+- All non-LAN egress is forced through the tunnel; if the tunnel drops, external traffic **fails closed** while LAN ranges (WebUI, Prowlarr, qBittorrent) stay reachable
+- IPv4 and IPv6 both fail closed. On kernels without a usable `ip6tables`, disable IPv6 for the container (`sysctls: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1`, as in the compose example) or the container refuses to start rather than risk an IPv6 leak
+- A supervised healthcheck bounces the tunnel if the handshake goes stale, and refreshes the endpoint allow rules so a roaming/rotated peer endpoint can reconnect
+- Mutually exclusive with `USING_TOR`
+- **DNS trust:** `WIREGUARD_DNS` must be a resolver you trust on a trusted network segment. When it is a LAN resolver (kept reachable off-tunnel by `LAN_NETWORK`), the query to that resolver leaves as plaintext UDP/53 on the LAN — the resolver is responsible for encrypting upstream. Two resolver paths exist: (1) when Docker's embedded resolver (`127.0.0.11`) is present it is **preserved** so container names (Prowlarr, qBittorrent) resolve — you MUST pin its upstream to a trusted resolver via the container's compose `dns:` list, since `WIREGUARD_DNS` cannot repoint the embedded resolver from inside the container; (2) otherwise `WIREGUARD_DNS`/the config `DNS =` line is written to `/etc/resolv.conf`. Setting `WIREGUARD_ENFORCE_DNS=false` is a **foot-gun**: with no embedded resolver present the container then uses its inherited resolver, which forwards to the Docker daemon's upstream **off-tunnel**, leaking your DNS. Leave enforcement on unless you have pinned the resolver another way.

+# Shelfmark E2E Docker Testing Platform
+
+A hermetic, container-based end-to-end platform that boots the real Shelfmark app
+against **controllable** dependencies — a fake Anna's Archive, a Cloudflare gate, a
+mock FlareSolverr bypasser, a mock Prowlarr + a real qBittorrent, custom DNS
+servers, HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies, and a Tor profile — and runs a cluster test suite
+under each **config profile**.
+
+It exists to make the recurring bug clusters from the issue/PR analysis impossible
+to reintroduce silently. The biggest one — Tor/Cloudflare/bypasser (37 issues /
+67 fix PRs) — had almost no automated coverage; this platform changes that.

+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# one profile
+make e2e-platform                       # baseline
+make e2e-platform-profile PROFILE=bypasser-external
+make e2e-platform-profile PROFILE=client-deluge
+make e2e-platform-full                  # heavy: real Chrome + DoH + real qBittorrent
+
+# the whole matrix
+make e2e-platform-matrix
+
+# build the heavy image once, then reuse it (matrix does this automatically)
+make e2e-platform-build
+E2E_NO_BUILD=1 tests/e2e/platform/run-e2e.sh env/dns-doh.env
+
+# debug: leave the stack up after the run
+KEEP_UP=1 tests/e2e/platform/run-e2e.sh env/dns-blocked.env
+```
+
+Requirements: Docker + Compose v2, and `uv` (for the pytest runner). The runner
+builds the Shelfmark image from the repo `Dockerfile`, boots the profile's stack,
+waits for `/api/health`, runs the suite, and tears down. `run-matrix.sh` builds the
+image **once** and reuses it across profiles (`E2E_NO_BUILD=1`) so the slow
+xvfb/chromium layer isn't rebuilt per profile.
+
+## How profiles work
+
+Each profile is an env file in `env/`. It sets:
+- `COMPOSE_PROFILES` — which optional services start (compose `profiles:`).
+- `SM_*` — the app's config, injected as container env. Shelfmark treats
+  deployment ENV as authoritative (`config.get`: "Deployment-level ENV values
+  always win"), so a profile fully determines the app's DNS/proxy/bypasser/source
+  configuration with no runtime mutation.
+- `E2E_PROFILE` — handed to pytest so the suite selects applicable tests.
+
+Tests declare applicability with `@pytest.mark.profiles(...)`. **A test with no
+marker is a profile-agnostic invariant and runs under every profile** — that is
+how one cluster test ("source must be reachable") becomes the config matrix.
+
+## The matrix (cluster × profile)
+
+Status column: ✅ = run live on Docker and passing. Every profile below was run
+end-to-end (`docker compose up` + suite + teardown) and passes.
+
+| Profile | Egress / what it proves | Clusters | Regression targets | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `baseline` | Direct to fake AA; search/parse + #1028 clean-failure | 2,3,4 | #198 #293 #214 #1040 #1028 | ✅ 9 passed |
+| `bypasser-external` | External bypasser wired; CF-gated search fails cleanly | 1 | #284 #202 #410 #369 | ✅ 5 passed |
+| `bypasser-disabled` | CF-gated AA + bypasser OFF → no results (control) | 1 | #202 #410 | ✅ 4 passed |
+| `dns-manual` | AA only resolvable via custom DNS (coredns) | config: DNS | #108 | ✅ 4 passed |
+| `dns-blocked` | System DNS NXDOMAINs AA; custom DNS resolves it | config: DNS | **#1028** | ✅ 4 passed |
+| `dns-doh` | System DNS blocks AA; **DoH over real HTTPS** resolves it | config: DoH | **#1028** #108 | ✅ 3 passed |
+| `proxy-http` | All egress via tinyproxy, **proven by proxy logs** | config: proxy | **#956** | ✅ 6 passed |
+| `proxy-socks` | All egress via SOCKS5 (microsocks), traversal-checked | config: proxy | #956 | ✅ 5 passed |
+| `tor` | `USING_TOR=true` boots clean (restarts=0) | 1/6 Tor boot | #1021 #940 #801 | ✅ 5 passed |
+| `client-transmission` | Prowlarr → **real Transmission** webseed download → /books | 5 clients | #1022 #634 | ✅ 4 passed |
+| `client-deluge` | Prowlarr → **real Deluge** webseed download → /books | 5 clients | #530 | ✅ 4 passed |
+| `full` | **real Chrome solves Cloudflare** + DoH + **real qBittorrent** download → /books (Moby-Dick) | 1,4,5 + DoH | **#284 #1030** #386 #1040 #214 | ✅ 6 passed |
+| *(every profile)* | boots healthy under PUID/PGID, no perm errors | 6 entrypoint | #171 #447 #801 | ✅ |
+
+> **The bypasser is download-time, not search-time.** Running the stack revealed
+> that shelfmark fetches AA search/detail with `allow_bypasser_fallback=False`, so a
+> search behind Cloudflare returns 503 **regardless** of the bypasser; the bypasser
+> (internal Chrome or external FlareSolverr) only runs during a file *download*
+> (`use_bypasser=True`). The bypasser profiles therefore assert a *clean*
+> CF-gated-search failure, while the **`full` profile exercises the real end-to-end
+> CF solve**: AA search/detail are reachable, but the AA slow-download link points
+> at the gate, so downloading Moby-Dick forces the in-image headless Chromium to
+> detect the challenge, solve it (`_bypass_method_cdp_solve`), and fetch the file —
+> verified live (`Challenge detected: cloudflare` → `Bypass successful` → Moby-Dick
+> in `/books`).
+>
+> **`bypasser-external` must set `SM_USING_EXTERNAL_BYPASSER=true`** — shelfmark does
+> **not** derive it from `EXT_BYPASSER_URL`; without it the app silently uses the
+> in-image Chrome bypasser instead of FlareSolverr.
+
+Coverage of the 7 clusters from the analysis:
+
+1. **Bypasser/Tor/Cloudflare** → `bypasser-external`, `bypasser-disabled`, `tor`.
+2. **Search/metadata** → `baseline` (`test_cluster_search_aa.py`, hermetic via the
+   `direct_download` source so no external metadata provider is needed).
+3. **AA parsing/mirrors** → `baseline` parse guards incl. the **layout-drift
+   fail-loud** test (#878/#879/#880).
+4. **Permissions/file-move** → `baseline` (`test_cluster_download_permissions.py`).
+5. **Torrent/usenet clients** → a mock Prowlarr + webseed torrent drives **three
+   real torrent clients** end to end (`full`=qBittorrent, `client-transmission`,
+   `client-deluge`) — completion detection + file move into `/books`. One
+   client-agnostic test (`test_cluster_clients.py`) covers all three.
+6. **Docker/entrypoint/PUID-PGID** → profile-agnostic health + boot-log checks,
+   run under every profile.
+7. **Audiobook/ABB** → parse-contract guards in
+   `tests/audiobookbay/test_scraper_contract.py` (info-hash normalization #386,
+   magnet fallback, layout drift). These run in **normal CI**, not the docker
+   matrix, because ABB hardcodes `https://` for its fetches (see Roadmap).
+
+### Proxy traversal (not just reachability)
+Because the app and the mock AA share the e2e network, a regression that ignores
+the proxy config would still reach AA directly. `test_egress_actually_traverses_proxy`
+drives a search and then inspects the proxy container's logs, so the proxy
+profiles prove the egress *went through* the proxy — a real guard for #956.
+
+### DoH — two layers
+- **Offline** (`tests/download/test_doh_resolver_mock.py`, normal CI): the real
+  `DoHResolver` is driven against the mock `doh` role over localhost HTTP, covering
+  JSON-answer parsing, NXDOMAIN → empty, and caching.
+- **In-stack** (`dns-doh` profile): the mock `doh` role serves the DNS JSON API over
+  **real HTTPS** (self-signed). The system resolver (coredns-blocked) NXDOMAINs
+  `aa.mock.test`, so the host can *only* be resolved via DoH; compose `extra_hosts`
+  redirects the `cloudflare-dns.com` provider to the in-stack mock and
+  `CERTIFICATE_VALIDATION=disabled` accepts the self-signed cert. The search reaching
+  AA proves the app's DoH path resolved the name end to end — **no app code change**.
+
+### The `full` profile — real Chrome + real client (`make e2e-platform-full`)
+The "everything real" heavy profile (test book: **Moby-Dick**), run nightly / on
+demand (excluded from the PR matrix). It spins up, with **no** mock bypasser, and
+**passes live** (6 passed):
+
+- **Real Chrome solves Cloudflare, end to end (VERIFIED).** AA search/detail are
+  reachable (`mock-aa`), but the AA *slow-download* link points at the Cloudflare
+  gate (`mock-cf`), whose challenge page runs JS that issues `cf_clearance` and
+  reloads. Downloading Moby-Dick forces the in-image headless Chromium (seleniumbase
+  CDP, in the `shelfmark` image via `xvfb`+`chromium`) to load the gate, detect the
+  challenge (`Challenge detected: cloudflare`), solve it (`_bypass_method_cdp_solve`),
+  and fetch the cleared "Download now" page → the file lands in `/books`. That
+  outcome is *only* reachable if Chrome solved the gate — the literal "spin a Chrome
+  browser" path and the strongest guard for the #1 cluster. Two subtleties this
+  surfaced, now handled by the mock: the cleared page must exceed the bypasser's
+  `_LOADING_BODY_LENGTH_MAX` (50 chars of innerText) or it loops as "still loading",
+  and the AA detail page must satisfy the brittle `original_nodes[-6]` parse (#880).
+- **DoH** on at boot.
+- **Real qBittorrent download.** A mock Prowlarr (`/api/v1/system/status`,
+  `/api/v1/indexer`, torznab search) returns one release whose `.torrent` is a
+  **tracker-less BEP-19 webseed** pointing at `mock-aa`'s HTTP payload. A real
+  qBittorrent completes the download over HTTP (no tracker/peer/seeder), and
+  shelfmark's completion detection + file move lands the book in `/books`. The
+  webseed torrent is generated by `mocks/make_webseed_torrent.py` (cross-checked
+  against shelfmark's own bencode/infohash parser in
+  `tests/download/test_webseed_torrent_generator.py`), and the whole
+  prowlarr→qBittorrent path is configured declaratively via env (`env/full.env`).
+
+## Components
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `mocks/mock_services.py` | One Flask app, five roles (`origin-aa`, `cloudflare`, `flaresolverr`, `prowlarr`, `doh`) selected by `MOCK_ROLE`. `origin-aa` also serves the webseed payload + `.torrent`. |
+| `mocks/make_webseed_torrent.py` | Stdlib bencode + BEP-19 webseed `.torrent` generator for the `full` real-client download. |
+| `qbittorrent/qBittorrent.conf` | Real qBittorrent config (auth bypassed for the e2e subnet) for the `full` profile. |
+| `env/full.env` | The heavy `full` profile: real Chrome bypasser + DoH + real qBittorrent. |
+| `mocks/fixtures/*.html` | AA search/detail HTML in the **exact** shape the parser expects, plus drift/empty/no-files variants. |
+| `docker-compose.e2e.yml` | The stack; optional services gated by compose profiles, static IPs for DNS determinism. |
+| `dns/Corefile*`, `dns/mock.test.db` | coredns zones — working + ISP-block (NXDOMAIN). |
+| `env/*.env` | The config profiles (matrix rows). |
+| `suite/` | The pytest harness + cluster tests. |
+| `run-e2e.sh` / `run-matrix.sh` | Boot one profile / loop the matrix. |
+| `build-images.sh` | Build the heavy image once (`make e2e-platform-build`); reused via `E2E_NO_BUILD=1`. |
+
+### Fault injection
+The mock AA reproduces historical bugs deterministically. Injection rides inside
+the search query as `E2EINJECT:<name>` (the app builds the AA URL itself and only
+forwards the user query as `q=`). Names: `no_files`, `empty`, `layout_drift`,
+`500`. The harness embeds them via `PlatformClient.direct_search(..., inject=...)`.
+
+## Gating PRs (block merge on e2e failure)
+
+The `.github/workflows/e2e-platform.yml` workflow runs on every PR. On a PR that
+touches relevant code (`shelfmark/**`, `Dockerfile`, `entrypoint.sh`, `tor.sh`,
+`tests/e2e/platform/**`) it runs the fast PR subset **and** the heavy `full`
+profile (real Chrome solving Cloudflare + DoH + real qBittorrent), then a single
+**`e2e required`** job aggregates them: it fails if any e2e job failed, and passes
+(so it never hangs) when the e2e jobs are skipped on an unrelated PR.
+
+The workflow producing a failing check is **not enough on its own** — GitHub only
+*blocks merge* on checks listed in branch protection. A repo **admin** must, once:
+
+- **UI:** Settings → Branches → branch protection rule for `main` →
+  *Require status checks to pass before merging* → add **`e2e required`**.
+- **or `gh` (admin token):**
+  ```bash

+blocks the PR from merging. Requiring just the one `e2e required` context covers
+the whole dynamic matrix, so the list never needs updating as profiles change.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **rTorrent.** Not in the matrix: its rakshasa-libtorrent has **no GetRight/webseed
+  support**, so the hermetic webseed torrent (which qBittorrent/Transmission/Deluge
+  all complete) leaves rTorrent stuck at 0%. Supporting it needs a real tracker +
+  seeder (peer download) — a follow-up that the webseed design intentionally avoids.
+- **Usenet clients (SABnzbd/NZBGet).** Not yet covered — completing a usenet download
+  hermetically needs a mock NNTP server serving the yEnc-encoded payload plus an NZB,
+  which is a separate (larger) build than the torrent webseed path.
+- **Audiobook (cluster 7) in-stack.** ABB hardcodes `https://`, so it's covered
+  offline (`tests/audiobookbay/test_scraper_contract.py`); an in-stack
+  `audiobookbay` role needs the same self-signed-HTTPS plumbing the `dns-doh` profile
+  now uses for DoH.

+Roles
+-----
+``origin-aa``     Fake Anna's Archive: search results table, ``/md5/<id>`` detail
+                  pages, and a downloadable book file. The HTML mirrors the real
+                  selectors the parser depends on (``<tr>`` rows, last-cell
+                  distant path, ``get.php?md5=..&key=..`` GET links) so parser
+                  drift (#878/#879/#880) is caught here. Supports fault injection
+                  via query flags to reproduce historical bugs deterministically.
+``cloudflare``    Cloudflare-protected origin: returns a 403 "Just a moment..."
+                  challenge page (with ``cf-mitigated: challenge``) until the
+                  request carries a ``cf_clearance`` cookie, then serves the real
+                  content. Exercises the app's CF detection + bypasser routing
+                  (#284, #226, #202, #1030) without running real CF JS.
+``flaresolverr``  Mock FlareSolverr implementing the ``/v1`` contract. It fetches
+                  the requested URL *with* a clearance cookie and returns the
+                  solved HTML + cookies, so ``_fetch_via_bypasser`` runs end to
+                  end deterministically (no headless Chrome needed in CI).
+``doh``           Minimal DNS-over-HTTPS (RFC 8484 + Google JSON) responder used
+                  to verify the USE_DOH path resolves mock domains even when the
+                  system resolver is poisoned (#1028).
+``all``           Mounts every role at once (default; handy for local poking).
+
+Fault injection (origin-aa) rides INSIDE the search query as an
+``E2EINJECT:<name>`` token, because the app builds the AA URL itself and only
+forwards the user query as ``q=``. The harness embeds it (see
+PlatformClient.direct_search); the mock strips it before rendering:
+  ``no_files``      -> renders the literal "No files found." alongside a real row
+                       (regression for the false-positive check).
+  ``empty``         -> renders an empty results page (true "No files found").
+  ``layout_drift``  -> renders a structurally-changed page (cards, no <table>) so
+                       a hardcoded-index parser yields zero rows — the app must
+                       fail loudly, not silently (#878/#879/#880).
+  ``500``           -> returns HTTP 500 (mirror failover path).

+"""Cluster 1 — Cloudflare bypasser wiring + clean-failure behavior.
+
+Reality discovered by running the stack: shelfmark's AA *search* and *detail*
+fetches use ``html_get_page(allow_bypasser_fallback=False)``, so a search behind a
+Cloudflare gate returns 503 **regardless** of the bypasser. The bypasser (internal
+Chrome or external FlareSolverr) is a *download-time* mechanism
+(``html_get_page(use_bypasser=True)``); it never runs for search.
+
+So these tests assert what is actually true and host-observable:
+  * the external bypasser is configured from env, and
+  * a CF-gated search fails *cleanly* (a 503 the client can act on, not a hang or
+    a crash) — both with the bypasser on (it isn't used for search) and off.
+
+Exercising shelfmark's *use* of the bypasser end-to-end (a real CF solve during a
+download) needs the AA slow-download HTML flow mocked — see the README roadmap.
+The bypass *mechanism* itself is verified to work: the mock FlareSolverr solves
+the gate (manually confirmed; see README). Guards: #284 #226 #202 #1030 #410 #369.
