WS handshake is now authenticated end-to-end. The broker proves that
every connected peer actually holds the secret key for the pubkey
they claim as identity — not just that they know the pubkey.
wire format change:
{type:"hello", meshId, memberId, pubkey, sessionId, pid, cwd,
timestamp, signature}
where signature = ed25519_sign(canonical, secretKey)
and canonical = `${meshId}|${memberId}|${pubkey}|${timestamp}`
broker verifies on every hello:
1. timestamp within ±60s of broker clock → else close(1008, timestamp_skew)
2. pubkey is 64 hex chars, signature is 128 hex chars → else malformed
3. crypto_sign_verify_detached(signature, canonical, pubkey) → else bad_signature
4. (existing) mesh.member row exists for (meshId, pubkey) → else unauthorized
All rejection paths close the WS with code 1008 + structured error
message + metrics counter increment (connections_rejected_total by
reason).
new modules:
- apps/broker/src/crypto.ts: canonicalHello, verifyHelloSignature,
HELLO_SKEW_MS constant
- apps/cli/src/crypto/hello-sig.ts: matching signHello helper
clients updated:
- apps/cli/src/ws/client.ts: signs hello before send
- apps/broker/scripts/{peer-a,peer-b}.ts (smoke-test): sign hellos
with seed-provided secret keys
new regression tests — tests/hello-signature.test.ts (7):
- valid signature accepted
- bad signature (signed with wrong key) rejected
- timestamp too old rejected (>60s)
- timestamp too far in future rejected (>60s)
- tampered canonical field (different meshId at verify time) rejected
- malformed hex pubkey rejected
- malformed signature length rejected
verified live:
- apps/broker/scripts/smoke-test.sh: full hello+ack+send+push flow
- apps/cli/scripts/roundtrip.ts: signed hello + encrypted message
- 55/55 tests pass

Adds scripts/{seed-test-mesh,peer-a,peer-b,smoke-test}.ts|.sh that
prove an end-to-end message flow works against a real Postgres:
- seed-test-mesh.ts creates user+mesh+2 members with deterministic
hex pubkeys ("aa..aa", "bb..bb"), writes seed JSON to stdout
- peer-a.ts sends hello then a direct "send" message to peer B's
pubkey with fake ciphertext "hello-from-a"
- peer-b.ts sends hello, waits up to 5s for a push, asserts
senderPubkey matches peer A, exits 0/1
- smoke-test.sh wires the three together
Verified flow: hello registers presence row → send queues into
mesh.message_queue → fanout matches connected peer by pubkey →
drainForMember joins on mesh.member for senderPubkey → push lands
with ciphertext + correct sender attribution.
Also fixes a date-serialization bug that blocked the first run:
applyPendingHookStatus used `sql${col} >= ${jsDate}` which passed
JS Date.toString() to Postgres (failed to parse). Replaced raw
sql`` template with typed gte/desc/isNotNull operators from
drizzle-orm. Same fix applied in sweepPendingStatuses.
