feat: Preserve manifest text through install pipeline, add architecture plans

Manifest text is now carried through the solver's ResolvedPkg and written
directly to disk during install, eliminating the redundant re-fetch from
the repository that could silently fail. save_manifest() is now mandatory
(fatal on error) since the .p5m file on disk is the authoritative record
for pkg verify and pkg fix.

Add ADRs for libips API layer (GUI sharing), OpenID Connect auth, and
SQLite catalog as query engine (including normalized installed_actions
table). Add phase plans for code hygiene, client completion, catalog
expansion, and OIDC authentication.

ADR-002: OpenID Connect Authentication for REST API

Date: 2026-02-25 Status: Accepted

Context

The REST API (pkg6depotd) and REST client (RestBackend) currently have no authentication. The depot's auth_check handler is a stub that only checks for Bearer token presence. The legacy pkg5 used client certificates (x509), which is operationally expensive.

Decision

Use OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication:

Depot server validates JWT access tokens against an OIDC provider's JWKS endpoint
REST client obtains tokens via OIDC flows (device code flow for CLI, authorization code flow for GUI)
Token refresh handled transparently by the client credential manager

Server Side (pkg6depotd)

Configure OIDC issuer URL and required scopes in depot config
Fetch JWKS from {issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration -> jwks_uri
Validate Bearer tokens on protected endpoints (publish, index rebuild)
Read-only endpoints (catalog, manifest, file, search) remain unauthenticated by default
Optional: per-publisher access control via JWT claims

Client Side (libips RestBackend)

Add CredentialProvider trait to RestBackend
Implement OIDC device code flow for CLI (user opens browser, enters code)
Token storage in image metadata directory (encrypted at rest)
Automatic refresh before expiry

Consequences

Modern auth infrastructure, compatible with Keycloak/Dex/Auth0/etc.
No client certificate management burden
Publisher-level access control possible via scopes/claims
Requires OIDC provider deployment for secured repos (optional — unsecured repos still work)
