harden(mana-sync): fix WebSocket auth, add validation, tests, and docs

Critical security and correctness fixes for the sync server: Security: - Fix WebSocket JWT validation — was completely broken (hardcoded "pending-auth"). Now validates JWT via JWKS, rejects invalid tokens, enforces 10-second auth deadline, sends auth-ok confirmation. - Add 10 MB request body size limit (prevents OOM attacks) - Validate op field (must be insert/update/delete) - Validate table and id fields (must be non-empty) - Abort sync on RecordChange failure (was silently continuing) Correctness: - Fix silent JSON unmarshal errors in store (now returns error) - Copy client set before iterating in NotifyUser (prevents race) - Add write timeout on WebSocket notifications Testing (19 tests, 0 -> 100% for unit-testable code): - auth: token extraction, validator init, missing auth handling - config: defaults, env override, invalid port - sync: op validation, changeset validation, response format, field change round-trip, body size constant Documentation: - Add CLAUDE.md with architecture, sync protocol, LWW explanation, API endpoints, configuration, security notes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# mana-sync
+
+Central sync server for local-first ManaCore apps. Handles data synchronization between IndexedDB (Dexie.js) clients and PostgreSQL via field-level Last-Write-Wins (LWW) conflict resolution.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Client A (Browser)                Client B (Browser)

+                     v
+               PostgreSQL
+            (sync_changes table)
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# From monorepo root
+pnpm dev:sync           # Start server (requires DB + auth running)
+pnpm dev:sync:build     # Compile Go binary
+
+# Standalone
+cd services/mana-sync
+go build -o server ./cmd/server
+JWKS_URL=http://localhost:3001/api/auth/jwks \
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://manacore:devpassword@localhost:5432/mana_sync \
+./server
+```
+
+## Sync Protocol
+
+### Push (POST /sync/{appId})
+
+Client sends a batch of changes, server records them and returns changes from other clients.
+
+```
+CLIENT -> SERVER:
+{
+  "clientId": "chrome-tab-abc123",
+  "since": "2024-01-01T10:00:00.000Z",
+  "changes": [
+    {
+      "table": "todos",
+      "id": "todo-123",
+      "op": "update",
+      "fields": {
+        "title": { "value": "Buy milk", "updatedAt": "2024-01-01T10:05:00Z" },
+        "completed": { "value": true, "updatedAt": "2024-01-01T10:06:00Z" }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+SERVER -> CLIENT:
+{
+  "serverChanges": [ ... changes from other clients ... ],
+  "conflicts": [],
+  "syncedUntil": "2024-01-01T10:06:15.123456789Z"
+}
+```
+
+### Pull (GET /sync/{appId}/pull)
+
+Client requests changes for a specific collection since a timestamp.
+
+```
+GET /sync/todo/pull?collection=tasks&since=2024-01-01T10:00:00Z
+Header: X-Client-Id: chrome-tab-abc123
+Header: Authorization: Bearer <jwt>
+```
+
+### WebSocket (GET /ws/{appId})
+
+Real-time notifications when other clients sync. Client must authenticate first.
+
+```
+CLIENT -> SERVER: { "type": "auth", "token": "<jwt>" }
+SERVER -> CLIENT: { "type": "auth-ok" }
+
+// When another client syncs:
+SERVER -> CLIENT: { "type": "sync-available", "tables": ["todos"] }
+
+// Keepalive:
+CLIENT -> SERVER: { "type": "ping" }
+SERVER -> CLIENT: { "type": "pong" }
+```
+
+## Conflict Resolution: Field-Level LWW
+
+Each field update carries a timestamp. When the same field is modified by multiple clients, the latest timestamp wins.
+
+```
+Client A: title="Buy milk"    @ 10:05:00
+Client B: title="Buy eggs"    @ 10:05:30
+Result:   title="Buy eggs"    (Client B wins — later timestamp)
+
+Client A: title="Buy milk"    @ 10:05:00
+Client A: completed=true      @ 10:06:00
+Client B: title="Buy eggs"    @ 10:05:30
+Result:   title="Buy eggs", completed=true  (merged — different fields)
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Auth | Description |
+|----------|--------|------|-------------|
+| `POST /sync/{appId}` | POST | JWT | Push changes, get server delta |
+| `GET /sync/{appId}/pull` | GET | JWT | Pull changes for a collection |
+| `GET /ws/{appId}` | WS | JWT (in-band) | Real-time sync notifications |
+| `GET /health` | GET | No | Health check with connection stats |
+| `GET /metrics` | GET | No | Prometheus metrics |
+
+## Database Schema
+
+Single table for all sync data:
+
+```sql
+sync_changes (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  app_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+  table_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  record_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+  user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+  op TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (insert | update | delete),
+  data JSONB,
+  field_timestamps JSONB DEFAULT '{}',
+  client_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now()
+)
+```
+
+Indexes: `(user_id, app_id, created_at)`, `(table_name, record_id, created_at)`, `(user_id, app_id, table_name, created_at)`
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `PORT` | 3050 | Server port |
+| `DATABASE_URL` | `postgresql://...localhost:5432/mana_sync` | PostgreSQL connection |
+| `JWKS_URL` | `http://localhost:3001/api/auth/jwks` | mana-core-auth JWKS endpoint |
+| `CORS_ORIGINS` | `http://localhost:5173,...` | Comma-separated allowed origins |
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+cd services/mana-sync
+go test ./... -v
+```
+
+Test coverage: auth (JWT extraction, validator), config (env loading), sync (validation, serialization, LWW types).

+
+## Security
+
+- JWT validated via EdDSA JWKS (same as NestJS backends)
+- WebSocket connections must authenticate within 10 seconds
+- Request body limited to 10 MB
+- Operation types validated (insert/update/delete only)
+- Table and record IDs required on all changes
+- RecordChange failures abort the entire sync (no partial writes)
