Advance the provider control-plane source builder and integration mock builder
on Pulse PR #2275's reviewed 1.26.8 Alpine digest. Keep their exact compiler
image locked by an installability proof and record what this does not qualify.
The published prebuilt runtime path is unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Refresh the pinned digests for the governed node:24-alpine, golang:1.26.8-alpine
and alpine:3.24 tags used by the release, control-plane and mock-github-server
images. Tag versions are unchanged; this picks up the current rebuilt base
layers, matching the docker dependabot policy that refreshes immutable digests
automatically while keeping tag upgrades in explicit work.
Supersedes Dependabot #2104 (node), #2137 (golang) and #2150 (alpine).
Contract-Neutral: digest-only refresh of unchanged governed image tags; no public-contract delta

Go 1.26.8 supersedes the prior patch release, so every release builder and local toolchain guard must move together to prevent candidate artifacts from retaining an older compiler and runtime.
Contract-Neutral: toolchain-only patch update; no product or runtime contract changed

The Update Integration Tests workflow lost its Go test
(tests/integration/api) in the v6 release commit and was reduced to a
diagnostic smoke test that duplicated the test-e2e stack boot. Replace
it with tests/79-update-flow.spec.ts in the main suite, which runs via
test-e2e.yml on the same trigger paths:
- stable-channel check returns the mock v99.0.0 release and filters
the v99.1.0-rc.1 prerelease (regression guard for the auto-update
prerelease bug); rc-channel check surfaces the prerelease
- update plan reports honest manual instructions for the docker
deployment with readiness attached
- apply refuses prerelease download URLs on the stable channel (409)
- apply of an unsigned artifact fails closed at SSHSIG verification;
a completed update against the unsigned mock artifact would mean
the pinned-key trust root was bypassed
The old happy-path apply test is intentionally not revived: v6 made
SSHSIG verification against the pinned pulse-installer key mandatory,
so completing an apply would require shipping the real signing key to
the harness or weakening the trust root.
mock-github-server now serves v-prefixed asset names and download
paths like real Pulse releases (pulse-v99.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz);
the in-app updater only recognizes v-prefixed versions in download
URLs, so the old unprefixed shape made every apply fail validation
before reaching the paths under test. Unknown non-tarball sidecar
files (e.g. .sshsig) now 404 instead of falling back to tarball bytes.
The spec self-skips when the update check is not served by the mock
server, so managed-local-backend runs are unaffected.
