chore: update electron-to-chromium version to 1.5.342 in package-lock.json

Add automated accessibility suite execution to the standard non-security
end-to-end browser shards so regressions are caught during routine CI runs.

This change is necessary to enforce accessibility checks consistently across
Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit without creating a separate pipeline path.

Behavior impact:
- Non-security shard jobs now run accessibility tests alongside existing suites
- Security-specific job behavior remains unchanged
- Sharding logic remains unchanged, with only test scope expanded

Operational consideration:
- Monitor shard runtime balance after rollout; if sustained skew appears,
  split accessibility coverage into its own sharded workflow stage.

+  # Status: Fix exists in nebula v1.10.3 — smallstep/certificates cannot compile against v1.10+ APIs

+  #   crafted certificate signatures (CWE-347).
+  # - CVSSv3: AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N (CVSS 8.1)

+  # Root Cause (Third-Party Binary + Upstream API Incompatibility):
+  # - Charon does not use nebula directly. The library is compiled into the Caddy binary
+  #   via the caddy-security plugin → smallstep/certificates dependency chain.
+  # - Nebula v1.10.3 patches the vulnerability but removes legacy APIs that
+  #   smallstep/certificates (through v0.30.2) depends on, causing compile failures.

+  #
+  # Risk Assessment: ACCEPTED (No direct use + upstream API incompatibility blocks fix)
+  # - Charon does not use Nebula VPN PKI by default. The vulnerable code path is only
+  #   reachable if Nebula-based certificate provisioning is explicitly configured.
+  # - The attack requires network access and a crafted certificate, which is not part of

+  #
+  # Mitigation (active while suppression is in effect):
+  # - Monitor smallstep/certificates releases: https://github.com/smallstep/certificates/releases

+
+| Field        | Value |
+|--------------|-------|
+| **ID**       | CVE-2026-31790 (affects `libcrypto3` and `libssl3`) |
+| **Severity** | High · CVSS pending |
+| **Status**   | Awaiting Upstream |
+
+**What**
+An OpenSSL vulnerability in the Alpine base image system packages `libcrypto3` and `libssl3`.
+This is a pre-existing issue in the Alpine base image and was not introduced by Charon.
+
+**Who**
+
+- Discovered by: Automated scan (Grype)
+- Reported: 2026-04-09
+- Affects: Container runtime environment; does not affect Charon application code directly
+
+**Where**
+
+- Component: Alpine base image (`libcrypto3`, `libssl3`)
+- Versions affected: Current Alpine base image OpenSSL packages
+
+**When**
+
+- Discovered: 2026-04-09
+- Disclosed (if public): Public
+- Target fix: When Alpine Security publishes a patched OpenSSL APK
+
+**How**
+The vulnerability resides in Alpine's system OpenSSL library and affects TLS operations at
+the OS level. Charon's application code does not directly invoke these libraries. Practical
+exploitability depends on direct TLS usage through the system OpenSSL, which is limited to
+the container runtime environment.
+
+**Planned Remediation**
+Monitor <https://security.alpinelinux.org/> for a patched Alpine APK. No upstream fix
+available as of 2026-04-09. Once available, update the pinned `ALPINE_IMAGE` digest in the
+Dockerfile.

+### [MEDIUM] CVE-2026-33997 · Docker Off-by-One Plugin Privilege Validation
+
+| Field        | Value |
+|--------------|-------|
+| **ID**       | CVE-2026-33997 (GHSA-pxq6-2prw-chj9) |
+| **Severity** | Medium · 6.8 |
+| **Status**   | Awaiting Upstream |
+
+**What**
+An off-by-one error in Docker Engine's plugin privilege validation could allow
+a malicious plugin to escalate privileges. Charon uses the Docker client SDK
+for container management and does not install or manage Docker plugins.
+
+**Who**
+
+- Discovered by: Automated scan (govulncheck, Grype)
+- Reported: 2026-04-04
+- Affects: Docker Engine plugin operators; Charon application is not directly vulnerable
+
+**Where**
+
+- Component: `github.com/docker/docker` v28.5.2+incompatible (Docker client SDK)
+- Versions affected: Docker Engine < 29.3.1
+
+**When**
+
+- Discovered: 2026-04-04
+- Disclosed (if public): Public
+- Target fix: When moby/moby/v2 stabilizes or docker/docker import path is updated
+
+**How**
+The vulnerability is in Docker Engine's plugin privilege validation at the
+daemon level. Charon does not use Docker plugins — it only manages containers
+via the Docker client SDK. The attack requires a malicious Docker plugin to be
+installed on the host, which is outside Charon's operational scope.
+
+**Planned Remediation**
+Monitor Moby advisory updates and verify scanner results against current modular
+Moby dependency paths.

+| **ID**       | CVE-2026-34040 (GHSA-x744-4wpc-v9h2) |
+| **Severity** | High · 8.8 |
+| **Patched**  | 2026-04-21 |
+
+**What**
+Docker Engine AuthZ plugins can be bypassed when an API request body exceeds a
+certain size threshold. The previous Charon backend dependency path was
+`github.com/docker/docker`.
+
+**Who**
+
+- Discovered by: Automated scan (govulncheck, Grype)
+- Reported: 2026-04-04
+
+**Where**
+
+- Previous component: `github.com/docker/docker` v28.5.2+incompatible (Docker client SDK)
+- Remediated component path: `github.com/moby/moby/client` with `github.com/moby/moby/api`
+
+**When**
+
+- Discovered: 2026-04-04
+- Patched: 2026-04-21
+- Time to patch: 17 days
+
+**How**
+The backend Docker service imports and module dependencies were migrated away from
+the vulnerable monolith package path to modular Moby dependencies.
+
+**Resolution**
+Validation evidence after remediation:
+
+- Backend: `go mod tidy`, `go test ./...`, and `go build ./cmd/api` passed.
+- Trivy gate output did not include `CVE-2026-34040` or `GHSA-x744-4wpc-v9h2`.
+- Docker image scan gate reported `0 Critical` and `0 High`, and did not include
+  `CVE-2026-34040` or `GHSA-x744-4wpc-v9h2`.
