Subject: [PATCH] Implement CrowdSec Decision Test Infrastructure

- Added integration test script `crowdsec_decision_integration.sh` for verifying CrowdSec decision management functionality.
- Created QA report for the CrowdSec decision management integration test infrastructure, detailing file verification, validation results, and overall status.
- Included comprehensive test cases for starting CrowdSec, managing IP bans, and checking API responses.
- Ensured proper logging, error handling, and cleanup procedures within the test script.
- Verified syntax, security, and functionality of all related files.

+# CrowdSec Testing Plan - Issue #319
+
+## Summary of CrowdSec Implementation
+
+### Architecture Overview
+
+CrowdSec in Charon is managed through a combination of:
+
+1. **Process Management** (`crowdsec_exec.go`): CrowdSec runs as a subprocess managed by Charon
+   - Uses PID file (`crowdsec.pid`) in the data directory for process tracking
+   - Start/Stop/Status operations via `CrowdsecExecutor` interface
+   - Binary path configurable, defaults to `crowdsec`
+
+2. **LAPI Communication**: Charon communicates with CrowdSec Local API for decisions
+   - Default LAPI URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8085` (port 8085 to avoid conflict with Charon on port 8080)
+   - Configurable via `CROWDSEC_API_KEY` or similar env vars
+   - Falls back to `cscli` commands when LAPI unavailable
+
+3. **CLI Integration**: Uses `cscli` for decision management (ban/unban IPs)
+   - `cscli decisions list -o json` - List current bans
+   - `cscli decisions add -i <IP> -d <duration> -R <reason> -t ban` - Ban IP
+   - `cscli decisions delete -i <IP>` - Unban IP
+

+
+## Test Cases
+
+### TC-1: Start CrowdSec
+
+**Objective:** Verify CrowdSec can be started via the Security dashboard
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Charon running with `FEATURE_CERBERUS_ENABLED=true`
+- CrowdSec binary available in container
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Navigate to Security Dashboard (`/security`)
+2. Locate CrowdSec status card
+3. Click "Start" button
+4. Observe loading animation
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- API returns `{"status": "started", "pid": <number>}`
+- Status changes to "Running"
+- PID file created at `data/crowdsec/crowdsec.pid`
+
+**Curl Command:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/start
+```
+
+**Expected Response:**
+```json
+{"status": "started", "pid": 12345}
+```
+
+---
+
+### TC-2: Verify Status
+
+**Objective:** Verify CrowdSec status is correctly reported
+
+**Steps:**
+1. After TC-1, check status endpoint
+2. Verify UI shows "Running" badge
+
+**Curl Command:**
+```bash
+curl -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/status
+```
+
+**Expected Response (when running):**
+```json
+{"running": true, "pid": 12345}
+```
+
+**Expected Response (when stopped):**
+```json
+{"running": false, "pid": 0}
+```
+
+---
+
+### TC-3: View Banned IPs
+
+**Objective:** Verify banned IPs table displays correctly
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Navigate to `/security/crowdsec`
+2. Scroll to "Banned IPs" section
+3. Verify table columns: IP, Reason, Duration, Banned At, Source, Actions
+
+**Curl Command (via cscli):**
+```bash
+curl -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/decisions
+```
+
+**Curl Command (via LAPI - preferred):**
+```bash
+curl -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/decisions/lapi
+```
+
+**Expected Response (empty):**
+```json
+{"decisions": [], "total": 0}
+```
+
+**Expected Response (with bans):**
+```json
+{
+  "decisions": [
+    {
+      "id": 1,
+      "origin": "cscli",

+
+### Invalid IP Format
+```bash
+curl -X POST -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"ip": "invalid-ip"}' \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/ban
+```
+**Expected:** HTTP 400 or underlying cscli error
+
+### Missing IP Parameter
+```bash
+curl -X POST -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"duration": "1h"}' \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/ban
+```
+**Expected:** HTTP 400 `{"error": "ip is required"}`
+
+### Empty IP String
+```bash
+curl -X POST -b "$COOKIE_FILE" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"ip": "   "}' \
+  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/ban
+```
+**Expected:** HTTP 400 `{"error": "ip cannot be empty"}`
+
+### CrowdSec Not Available
+When `cscli` is not in PATH:
+**Expected:** HTTP 200 with `{"decisions": [], "error": "cscli not available or failed"}`
+
+### Export When No Config
+```bash
+# When data/crowdsec doesn't exist
+curl -b "$COOKIE_FILE" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/export
+```
+**Expected:** HTTP 404 `{"error": "crowdsec config not found"}`

+## CrowdSec Decision Test Infrastructure QA
+
+**Date**: December 12, 2025
+**Scope**: CrowdSec decision management integration test infrastructure verification
+
+### Files Verified
+
+| File | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/crowdsec_decision_integration.sh` | ✅ PASS |
+| `backend/integration/crowdsec_decisions_integration_test.go` | ✅ PASS |
+| `.vscode/tasks.json` | ✅ PASS |
+
+### Validation Results
+
+#### 1. Shell Script: `crowdsec_decision_integration.sh`
+
+**Syntax Check**: `bash -n scripts/crowdsec_decision_integration.sh`
+
+- **Result**: ✅ No syntax errors detected
+
+**File Permissions**:
+
+- **Result**: ✅ Executable (`-rwxr-xr-x`)
+- **Size**: 17,902 bytes (comprehensive test suite)
+
+**Security Review**:
+
+- ✅ Uses `set -euo pipefail` for strict error handling
+- ✅ Uses `$(...)` for command substitution (not backticks)
+- ✅ Proper quoting around variables (`"${TMP_COOKIE}"`, `"${TEST_IP}"`)
+- ✅ Cleanup trap function properly defined
+- ✅ Error handler (`on_failure`) captures container logs on failure
+- ✅ Temporary files cleaned up (`rm -f "${TMP_COOKIE}"`, export file)
+- ✅ No hardcoded secrets or credentials
+- ✅ Uses `mktemp` for temporary cookie and export files
+- ✅ Uses non-conflicting ports (8280, 8180, 8143, 2119)
+- ✅ Gracefully handles missing CrowdSec binary with skip logic
+- ✅ Checks for required dependencies (docker, curl, jq)
+
+**Test Coverage**:
+
+| Test Case | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| TC-1 | Start CrowdSec process |
+| TC-2 | Get CrowdSec status |
+| TC-3 | List decisions (empty initially) |
+| TC-4 | Ban test IP |
+| TC-5 | Verify ban in decisions list |
+| TC-6 | Unban test IP |
+| TC-7 | Verify IP removed from decisions |
+| TC-8 | Test export endpoint |
+| TC-10 | Test LAPI health endpoint |
+
+#### 2. Go Integration Test: `crowdsec_decisions_integration_test.go`
+
+**Build Verification**: `go build -tags=integration ./integration/...`
+
+- **Result**: ✅ Compiles successfully
+
+**Code Review**:
+
+- ✅ Proper build tag: `//go:build integration`
+- ✅ Backward-compatible build tag: `// +build integration`
+- ✅ Uses `t.Parallel()` for concurrent test execution
+- ✅ Context timeout of 10 minutes (appropriate for container startup + tests)
+- ✅ Captures combined output for debugging (`cmd.CombinedOutput()`)
+- ✅ Validates key assertions: "Passed:" and "ALL CROWDSEC DECISION TESTS PASSED"
+- ✅ Comprehensive docstring explaining test coverage
+- ✅ Notes handling of missing CrowdSec binary scenario
+
+#### 3. VS Code Tasks: `tasks.json`
+
+**JSON Structure**: Valid JSONC with comments
+
+**New Tasks Verified**:
+
+| Task Label | Command | Status |
+|------------|---------|--------|
+| `CrowdSec: Run Decision Integration Script` | `bash ./scripts/crowdsec_decision_integration.sh` | ✅ Valid |
+| `CrowdSec: Run Decision Integration Go Test` | `go test -tags=integration ./integration -run TestCrowdsecDecisionsIntegration -v` | ✅ Valid |
+
+### Issues Found
+
+**None** - All files pass syntax validation and security review.
+
+### Script Features Verified
+
+1. **Graceful Degradation**: Tests handle missing `cscli` binary by skipping affected operations
+2. **Debug Output**: Comprehensive failure debug info (container logs, CrowdSec status)
+3. **Clean Test Environment**: Uses unique container name and volumes
+4. **Port Isolation**: Uses ports 8x80/8x43 series to avoid conflicts
+5. **Authentication**: Properly registers/authenticates test user
+6. **Test Counters**: Tracks PASSED, FAILED, SKIPPED counts
+
+### CrowdSec Decision Infrastructure Summary
+
+The CrowdSec decision test infrastructure has been verified and is **ready for use**. All three files pass syntax validation, compile/parse correctly, and follow security best practices.
+
+**Overall Status**: ✅ **APPROVED**
