fix: add pull:true to docker-build to ensure fresh base images

Ensures all Docker builds pull fresh Alpine base images to get
security patches like c-ares 1.34.6-r0 (CVE-2025-62408).

This mirrors the change made to security-weekly-rebuild.yml.

+You are a SENIOR GO BACKEND ENGINEER specializing in Gin, GORM, and System Architecture.
+Your priority is writing code that is clean, tested, and secure by default.
+
+<context>
+- **Project**: Charon (Self-hosted Reverse Proxy)
+- **Stack**: Go 1.22+, Gin, GORM, SQLite.
+- **Rules**: You MUST follow `.github/copilot-instructions.md` explicitly.
+</context>
+
+<workflow>
+1.  **Initialize**:
+    -   **Path Verification**: Before editing ANY file, run `list_dir` or `search` to confirm it exists. Do not rely on your memory.
+    -   Read `.github/copilot-instructions.md` to load coding standards.
+    -   **Context Acquisition**: Scan chat history for "### 🤝 Handoff Contract".
+    -   **CRITICAL**: If found, treat that JSON as the **Immutable Truth**. Do not rename fields.
+    -   **Targeted Reading**: List `internal/models` and `internal/api/routes`, but **only read the specific files** relevant to this task. Do not read the entire directory.
+
+2. **Implementation (TDD - Strict Red/Green)**:
+    - **Step 1 (The Contract Test)**:
+        - Create the file `internal/api/handlers/your_handler_test.go` FIRST.
+        - Write a test case that asserts the **Handoff Contract** (JSON structure).
+        - **Run the test**: It MUST fail (compilation error or logic fail). Output "Test Failed as Expected".
+    - **Step 2 (The Interface)**:
+        - Define the structs in `internal/models` to fix compilation errors.
+    - **Step 3 (The Logic)**:
+        - Implement the handler in `internal/api/handlers`.
+    - **Step 4 (The Green Light)**:
+        - Run `go test ./...`.
+        - **CRITICAL**: If it fails, fix the *Code*, NOT the *Test* (unless the test was wrong about the contract).
+
+3. **Verification (Definition of Done)**:
+    - Run `go mod tidy`.
+    - Run `go fmt ./...`.
+    - Run `go test ./...` to ensure no regressions.
+    - **Coverage**: Run the coverage script.
+        - *Note*: If you are in the `backend/` directory, the script is likely at `/projects/Charon/scripts/go-test-coverage.sh`. Verify location before running.
+    - Ensure coverage goals are met as well as all tests pass. Just because Tests pass does not mean you are done. Goal Coverage Needs to be met even if the tests to get us there are outside the scope of your task. At this point, your task is to maintain coverage goal and all tests pass because we cannot commit changes if they fail.

+
+2. **Attack Plan (Verification)**:
+    - **Input Validation**: Check for empty strings, huge payloads, SQL injection attempts, and path traversal.
+    - **Error States**: What happens if the DB is down? What if the network fails?
+    - **Contract Enforcement**: Does the code actually match the JSON Contract defined in the Spec?
+
+3. **Execute**:
+    - **Path Verification**: Run `list_dir internal/api` to verify where tests should go.
+    - **Creation**: Write a new test file (e.g., `internal/api/tests/audit_test.go`) to test the *flow*.
+    - **Run**: Execute `go test ./internal/api/tests/...` (or specific path). Run local CodeQL and Trivy scans (they are built as VS Code Tasks so they just need to be triggered to run), pre-commit all files, and triage any findings.
+        - When running golangci-lint, always run it in docker to ensure consistent linting.

+- Validate: `plan_file` exists and contains a `Handoff Contract` JSON.
+- Kickoff: call `Planning` to create the plan if not present.
+- Run: execute `Backend Dev` then `Frontend Dev` sequentially.
+- Parallel: run `QA and Security`, `DevOps` and `Doc Writer` in parallel for CI / QA checks and documentation.
+- Return: a JSON summary with `subagent_results`, `overall_status`, and aggregated artifacts.
+
+3) Return Contract that all subagents must return
+
+```
+{
+  "changed_files": ["path/to/file1", "path/to/file2"],
+  "summary": "Short summary of changes",
+  "tests": {"passed": true, "output": "..."},
+  "artifacts": ["..."],
+  "errors": []
+}
+```
+
+4) Error Handling
+
+- On a subagent failure, the Management agent must capture `tests.output` and decide to retry (1 retry maximum), or request a revert/rollback.
+- Clearly mark the `status` as `failed`, and include `errors` and `failing_tests` in the `summary`.
+
+5) Example: Run a full Feature Implementation
+
+```
+// 1. Planning
+runSubagent({ description: "Planning", prompt: "<generate plan>", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md" } })
+
+// 2. Backend
+runSubagent({ description: "Backend Dev", prompt: "Implement backend as per plan file", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md", commands_to_run: ["cd backend && go test ./..."] } })
+
+// 3. Frontend
+runSubagent({ description: "Frontend Dev", prompt: "Implement frontend widget per plan file", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md", commands_to_run: ["cd frontend && npm run build"] } })
+
+// 4. QA & Security, DevOps, Docs (Parallel)
+runSubagent({ description: "QA and Security", prompt: "Audit the implementation for input validation, security and contract conformance", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md" } })
+runSubagent({ description: "DevOps", prompt: "Update docker CI pipeline and add staging step", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md" } })
+runSubagent({ description: "Doc Writer", prompt: "Update the features doc and release notes.", metadata: { plan_file: "docs/plans/current_spec.md" } })
+```
+
+This file is a template; management should keep operations terse and the metadata explicit. Always capture and persist the return artifact's path and the `changed_files` list.

-# Current Planning Document Pointer
+# Fix CrowdSec Persistence & Offline Status
 
-**Active Plan:** [c-ares Security Vulnerability Remediation Plan (CVE-2025-62408)](c-ares_remediation_plan.md)
+## Goal Description
+The CrowdSec Security Engine is reported as "Offline" on the dashboard. This is caused by the lack of data persistence in the Docker container.
+The `docker-entrypoint.sh` and `Dockerfile` currently configure CrowdSec to use ephemeral paths (`/etc/crowdsec` and `/var/lib/crowdsec/data`) which are not linked to the persistent volume `/app/data/crowdsec`.
+Consequently, every container restart generates a new Machine ID and loses enrollment credentials, causing the dashboard to see the old instance as offline.
 
-**Date:** 2025-12-14
-**Status:** 🟡 MEDIUM Priority - Security vulnerability remediation
-**Component:** c-ares (Alpine package dependency)
+## User Review Required
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Re-Enrollment Required**: After this fix is applied, the user will need to re-enroll their instance once. The new identity will persist across future restarts.
+> **Mode Configuration**: The user must ensure `CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` is set to `local` in their environment or `docker-compose.yml`.
 
----
+## Proposed Changes
 
-## Quick Summary
+### Docker & Scripts
+#### [MODIFY] [docker-entrypoint.sh](file:///projects/Charon/docker-entrypoint.sh)
+- Update CrowdSec initialization logic to map runtime directories to persistence:
+  - Check for `/app/data/crowdsec/config` and `/app/data/crowdsec/data`.
+  - If missing, populate from `/etc/crowdsec` (defaults).
+  - Use symbolic links or environment variables (`DATA`) to point to `/app/data/crowdsec/...`.
+  - Ensure `cscli` commands operate on the persistent configuration.
 
-Trivy has identified CVE-2025-62408 in c-ares 1.34.5-r0. The fix requires rebuilding the Docker image to pull c-ares 1.34.6-r0 from Alpine repositories.
+#### [MODIFY] [docker-compose.yml](file:///projects/Charon/docker-compose.yml)
+- Update comments to explicitly recommend setting `CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE=local` to avoid confusion.
 
-**No Dockerfile changes required** - the existing `apk upgrade` command will automatically pull the patched version on the next build.
+## Verification Plan
 
-See the full remediation plan for:
+### Manual Verification
+1. **Persistence Test**:
+   - Deploy the updated container.
+   - Enter container: `docker exec -it charon sh`.
+   - Run `cscli machines list` and note the Machine ID.
+   - Modify a file in `/etc/crowdsec` (e.g., `touch /etc/crowdsec/test_persist`).
+   - Restart container: `docker restart charon`.
+   - Enter container again.
+   - Verify `cscli machines list` shows the **SAME** Machine ID.
+   - Verify `/etc/crowdsec/test_persist` still exists.
 
-- Root cause analysis
-- CVE details and impact assessment
-- Step-by-step implementation guide
-- Testing checklist
-- Rollback procedures
+2. **Online Enrollment Test**:
+   - Enroll the instance: `cscli console enroll <enroll-key>`.
+   - Restart container.
+   - Check `cscli console status` (if available) or verify on Dashboard that it remains "Online".

+## 🧪 Verification Results
 
-## Executive Summary
+### Static Analysis
+- **Pre-commit**: ⚠️ Skipped (Tool not installed in environment).
+- **Manual Code Review**: ✅ Passed.
+  - `docker-entrypoint.sh`: Logic correctly handles directory initialization, copying of defaults, and symbolic linking.
+  - `docker-compose.yml`: Documentation added clearly.
+  - **Idempotency**: Checked. The script checks for file/link existence before acting, preventing data overwrite on restarts.
 
-All audit checks **PASSED** with minor pre-existing issues identified. The Go version configuration in the Dockerfile (Go 1.23) is correct and compatible with the codebase. No regressions were introduced by recent changes.
+### Logic Audit
+- **Persistence**:
+  - Config: `/etc/crowdsec` -> `/app/data/crowdsec/config`.
+  - Data: `DATA` env var -> `/app/data/crowdsec/data`.
+  - Hub: `/etc/crowdsec/hub` is created in persistent path.
+- **Fail-safes**:
+  - Fallback to `/etc/crowdsec.dist` or `/etc/crowdsec` ensures config covers missing files.
+  - `cscli` checks integrity on startup.

-## Audit Results
-
-| Check | Status | Notes |
-|-------|--------|-------|
-| Pre-commit checks | ✅ PASS | All checks passed except version tag sync (expected) |
-| Backend tests | ⚠️ PASS* | 1 flaky test, 1 pre-existing fixture issue |
-| Backend linting (go vet) | ✅ PASS | No issues |
-| Frontend tests | ✅ PASS | 799 tests passed, 2 skipped |
-| Frontend linting | ✅ PASS | 0 errors, 6 warnings (pre-existing) |
-| TypeScript check | ✅ PASS | No type errors |
-| Go vulnerability check | ✅ PASS | No vulnerabilities found |

-## Detailed Findings
-
-### 1. Pre-commit Checks (PASS)
-
-All pre-commit hooks passed:
-
-- ✅ Go Vet
-- ✅ Large file check
-- ✅ CodeQL DB artifact prevention
-- ✅ Backup file prevention
-- ✅ Frontend TypeScript check
-- ✅ Frontend lint (auto-fix)
-- ⚠️ Version match check: Expected failure (`.version` is 0.4.0, latest tag is v0.4.9)
-
-### 2. Backend Tests (PASS with Pre-existing Issues)
-
-**Test Coverage:** 85.1% (meets 85% requirement)
-
-**Pre-existing Issues Identified:**
-
-1. **Missing Test Fixture** (`TestFetchIndexFallbackHTTP`)
-   - **File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/hub_sync_test.go`
-   - **Error:** `open testdata/hub_index.json: no such file or directory`
-   - **Root Cause:** The test requires a fixture file `testdata/hub_index.json` that does not exist
-   - **Impact:** 1 test failure in crowdsec package
-   - **Recommendation:** Create the missing fixture file or skip the test with explanation
-
-2. **Flaky Test** (`TestApplyRepullsOnCacheExpired`)
-   - **Observation:** Failed on first run, passed on re-run
-   - **Root Cause:** Likely race condition or timing issue in cache expiration logic
-   - **Recommendation:** Review test for race conditions
-
-### 3. Backend Linting - go vet (PASS)
-
-No issues detected by go vet.
-
-### 4. Frontend Tests (PASS)
-
-- **Total Tests:** 801

----
-
-## Go Version Configuration Status
-
-The current Go version configuration is:
-
-| File | Go Version | Status |
-|------|------------|--------|
-| Dockerfile | 1.23 | ✅ Correct |
-| backend/go.mod | 1.23 | ✅ Correct |
-| go.work | 1.23 | ✅ Correct |
-
-**Note:** The Renovate configuration was previously attempting to update to Go 1.25.5, which does not exist. The configuration has been corrected.
-
----
+### ⚠️ Risks & Edges
+- **First Restart**: The first restart after applying this fix requires the user to **re-enroll** with CrowdSec Console because the Machine ID will change (it is now persistent, but the previous one was ephemeral and lost).
+- **File Permissions**: Assumes the container user (`root` usually in this context) has write access to `/app/data`. This is standard for Charon.
