Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza 6c1d597d42 fix(mitm): test suite and CI must never mutate the OS trust store (OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST) (#6310)
Incident 2026-07-05 on the self-hosted release runner (VM 113): the
integration test 'POST /cert: installs trust when cert exists' exercised the
REAL install path, wrote a 105-byte fake PEM (FakeMITMCertForTestingOnly)
into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates and update-ca-certificates baked the
invalid entry into ca-certificates.crt — breaking ALL system TLS on the VM
(curl error 77, apt cert failures, and the intermittent gzip-corrupted
next-build artifacts that failed 6/9 e2e shards in run 28754447912). Hosted
runners are ephemeral, so the same mutation went unnoticed for months.

- installCert/uninstallCert: skip the OS dispatch under
  OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1 — AFTER the input checks, so the #4546
  environment-skip contract (missing file throws -> structured skip) and the
  already-installed/not-installed early returns are preserved.
- installTproxyCa/uninstallTproxyCa: same guard, only when no run dep is
  injected (DI'd tests keep exercising the full command sequence with mocks).
- tests/_setup/isolateDataDir.ts sets the env for every node:test process;
  ci.yml/quality.yml/nightly-release-green.yml set it workflow-wide (e2e runs
  the real app outside the test setup).

TDD: tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts (guard exported to every test
process; guarded install resolves on a real file without touching the OS;
missing-file contract preserved). 82/82 across the affected cert/tproxy/
agent-bridge suites.

// Guard: the test suite must NEVER touch the OS trust store. On 2026-07-05 the
// integration test "POST /cert: installs trust when cert exists" ran the REAL
// install path on a persistent self-hosted runner and wrote a 105-byte fake PEM
// into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates — update-ca-certificates then baked the
// invalid entry into ca-certificates.crt and broke ALL system TLS on the VM
// (curl error 77, apt cert failures, corrupted artifact downloads). Hosted
// runners are ephemeral, so the same write went unnoticed for months.
//
// OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1 (set globally in tests/_setup/isolateDataDir.ts)
// makes installCert/uninstallCert no-ops before any filesystem/spawn work.
