Skywire: Docker and CI Overhaul

Today’s work focused on fixing the Skywire Docker build and deployment pipeline and upgrading the frontend stack.

Docker build fixes — the Docker build was broken by several issues: the +dirty version suffix appeared in image tags because the build context had uncommitted changes, the go sum database check for the Skywire module was failing in containers, git was missing from the Docker image (needed for GOPROXY=direct), and ldflags were being passed to Docker targets that don’t support them. All four issues were fixed across PRs #2215–#2218.

Angular 21.2.4 — the Skywire Manager frontend was updated to Angular 21.2.4. Alongside this, STUN server addresses were corrected and the TPD Redis pipeline was optimized for the /metrics endpoint (#2214).

GitHub Actions Node.js 24 — all GitHub Actions workflows were updated to Node.js 24-compatible action versions, suppressing deprecation warnings that would become errors in June 2026 (#2219, #2220).

End-to-end test improvements — the E2E Docker build for pull request CI was fixed and Skywire service startup was optimized (#2218).

TPD optimization — the Transport Discovery’s rate limiter was fixed, N+1 database queries were eliminated, a latency measurement bug was corrected, and scan operations were consolidated (#2218).

Spurious transport delete errors — the transport manager was logging “Error deleting transport: 404 Not Found” on every failed dial attempt during autoconnect, because it was trying to deregister transports that were never registered. Fixed to use closeWithoutDeregister on dial failure (#2219).

Security fixes — flatted 3.3.4 to 3.4.1 (recursion DoS), Angular build dependency chain updated to fix undici vulnerability (#2214).

These changes collectively unblock the release pipeline for v1.3.37.
