fix(auth): sign-out ends the identity-provider session; sign-in sends max_age=0
Sign out only ended the QQQ session, so a retained provider session silently signed the next person in. The companion now asks the service to log out with the registered callback; the server's provider end-session data is checked against the advertised issuer and the provider's own discovery, then opened in the browser. Browser sign-in also sends max_age=0 beside prompt=login. The command line still ends only the QQQ session and says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

 # Changelog

+## Unreleased
+
+Sign-out now ends the identity provider's browser session as well as the QQQ session, and every browser
+sign-in sends `max_age=0` beside `prompt=login`, so the next sign-in always asks for credentials (the provider
+must stay invisible to users). The companion's Sign out asks the service to log out with the application's
+registered callback; when the server advertises `nativeSessionLogout` (UI API 1.10 or later) and lists that
+callback, the server returns the provider's end-session data, Core checks it against the issuer QQQ advertises
+and the provider's own discovery (HTTPS end-session endpoint on the issuer's origin, exact callback, bounded
+hint), and the companion opens it in the browser and waits for the state-matched return. A server without the
+capability gets the ordinary logout, and the log says the provider session was not ended. The command-line
+`sign-out` cannot open the companion's callback inbox, so it still ends only the QQQ session and says so.
+No change to pairing, history or the printing protocol.

+## 1.2.1
+
+Release-pipeline fix only; same source as 1.2.0 otherwise. The stable release workflow's per-edition
+sign job passed the edition to `Build-Installer.ps1` through an array splat, which PowerShell binds
+positionally, so `-Edition gg-forge` landed in the signing-certificate parameters and the GG Forge
+sign job refused to publish; tag `v1.2.0` therefore produced no signed installer and must not be
+moved or reused. The workflow now splats a hashtable. No application or wire change.

+Previous cohort for rollback: protocol 1.0.0, QBit 1.0.0 (extension 2.3.0), Windows 1.0.1 / 1.1.1.
+
+**2026-11-06 update (QBit 1.1.1).** Forge's qualification of 1.1.0 found that the realtime upgrade fails before WELCOME behind an ingress that lowercases header names (the device id was read case-sensitively from the WebSocket context; the same defect exists in 1.0.0, which Forge ran with a local patch). 1.1.1 resolves the device once on the authorized upgrade and carries it on the connection, with a regression test that connects with lowercase header names. No contract change: the pairing matrix and everything else in this handoff is unchanged; replace the `1.0.0-forge…headers1` coordinate with the published 1.1.1 and drop the local patch.
+
+**2026-11-06 update (QBit 1.1.2, Gitea-only runtime).** James's direction: every QRun artifact resolves from the QRun-IO Gitea registry, no more Maven Central. 1.1.2 is the 1.1.1 code certified on QQQ **4.1.0-RC.22** (the core version Forge already pins; it exists only in the Gitea registry) with `-Pui-demo verify`, 200 tests, 0 failures, and published by the shared `ci-workflows` pipeline. `qqq-frontend-next` 1.0.0-RC.37 is also mirrored into the registry byte-for-byte from Central. Pin `com.kingsrook.qbits:qbit-printing:1.1.2` together with core 4.1.0-RC.22 and read both from `https://git.kof22.com/api/packages/QRun-IO/maven`; third-party libraries still come through the Maven Central mirror until the registry proxies them. No contract change; pairing matrix unchanged.
+
+## What changed, by contract
+
+- **Printer approval over the realtime channel (extension 2.4.0, additive).** Client advertises
+  `printer-approval-v1` in HELLO only when discovery shows a stable printing 2.x with minor >= 4.
+  Server then sends a `PRINTERS` frame (`{ "printers": [ { "printerId", "enabled" } ] }`, the complete
+  approval state of the device's exposed printers) after each accepted INVENTORY and whenever an
+  administrator approves or disables one of that device's printers. Not acknowledged. A 2.3 peer on
+  either side keeps the exact 1.0 wire: 1.0.x/1.1.x clients never advertise it and never receive it;
+  the 1.2.1 client against QBit 1.0.0 reads the operator catalog instead (user-scoped; shows "Not
+  reported" without operator permission).
+- **Remove printers / Remove device (QBit).** Archives with `removed_at`; hidden from lists, catalog,
+  claims and the PRINTERS frame; a re-shared printer returns as awaiting approval; retention purges
+  removed rows that no job references. QQQ 4.1 has no table-level default filter, so the raw Printers
+  / Print devices tables still show removed rows until a "Removed at is empty" saved view is added.
+- **Client sign-in nonce.** Sends `expectedNonce` under REQUIRED, OPTIONAL and the discovery capability
+  `nativeSessionNonceValidation`; legacy servers unchanged (PR 11 content, already merged earlier).
+- **Client UX/ops.** Server column on the Printers page; verbose sign-in diagnostics with DEBUG level;
+  log size rollover; per-server untrusted-certificate option (development only, origin-bound);
+  connection dialog rework; Clear logs button in the log viewer; client editions (GG Forge build is a
+  separate MSI with its own update asset; one edition per PC, shared UpgradeCode).
+
+## Pairing matrix (what must hold in your tests)
+
+| Server | Client | Expected |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| QBit 1.0.0 (2.3.0) | 1.2.1 | No `printer-approval-v1` in HELLO; catalog fallback; everything else as 1.1.1 |
+| QBit 1.1.2 (2.4.0) | 1.0.1 / 1.1.1 | Four-capability HELLO at most; no PRINTERS frame; unchanged behaviour |
+| QBit 1.1.2 (2.4.0) | 1.2.1 | Five-capability HELLO; PRINTERS after inventory and on approval change; Printers page shows Approved / Awaiting approval live |
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Protocol: `npm run check` (79 schema definitions, 82 fixtures), lint, typecheck, quality all green on 5005f3c.
+- QBit: `mvnw -Pui-demo verify` 199 tests, 0 failures, 0 Checkstyle; main run 5473 verify + secrets + gate + post-publish green; registry files read back byte-for-byte.
+- Client: hosted GitHub CI run 42116396114 on the PR head (197 Core + 362 Windows tests, 0 failures); Gitea required checks green on both merges; release run 42223525626 (verify, security, CodeQL, sign generic + GG Forge, assemble, publish).
+
+## Notes for adoption
+
+- Pin all three together. The client's CI fixture pin is `ac835f8b9396b641b525669249fdb4a1e2a50c99`; the QBit's is `5005f3c9e27053b6c327bb923695012832c0fdcc` (docs PRs 29 and 12 pending).
+- Forge must approve the shared printers on the server after the first inventory from a 1.2.0 client, as before; the difference is that the client now shows that state.
+- Coordinate installation on the Forge print station yourself; the GG Forge rc.3 build on James's PC is a local test build (file version 1.2.0.3) and will update to the signed 1.2.1 from its own GG Forge asset.

-## Active: required-nonce native sign-in fix — 2026-11-05
+## Released: 1.2.1 — 2026-11-06
+
+Client 1.2.1 (source `3b9d75d`, GitHub release run 42223525626) is the current stable: signed generic and GG Forge installers on GitHub and, byte-identical, on Gitea. See [RELEASING](RELEASING.md).

+- [x] Nonce fix PR 11 (`abc3d0d`) and the OPTIONAL/discovery nonce change (`c59814d`) shipped in `v1.2.0`/`v1.2.1`.
+- [x] Release run 42128511730 on `v1.2.0` failed in `sign (gg-forge)`: `release.yml` array-splatted `-Edition`, binding it positionally to `-CertificateThumbprint`. Fixed in PR 12 (`3b9d75d`); `v1.2.0` stays immutable and unpublished.
+- [x] `v1.2.1` tagged on the merge commit, mirrored to GitHub, signed, assembled and published; checksums, signatures and provenance verified; same assets attached to the Gitea release.
+- [x] Post-merge main checks (ci, codeql, security, scripts, scorecard) green on `b583130`.
+- [ ] Actual native sign-in/sign-out acceptance against the shared provider (the shared-fixture discovery pass is not acceptance).

 The service stores only the QQQ session cookie and stable authoritative identity under service-identity DPAPI, and periodically resumes the standard session. Passwords stay in the companion; provider refresh/access tokens remain server-side. Normal CLI operations use the existing authenticated service pipe. The private browser callback is fixed and MSI-owned, forwarding bounded data only into an active same-user/session companion inbox after executable verification. It carries a short-lived authorization code, never a session cookie or PKCE verifier. Core validates exact advertised redirect, random state, PKCE and single-use expiry; when the server advertises `nonceValidation: REQUIRED` it also sends only that attempt's own authorization nonce as `expectedNonce` (never a callback-supplied or regenerated value) and refuses any other non-empty nonce policy; no callback creates an authentication attempt. Provider registration, installed callback delivery and long-duration renewal remain deployment qualifications.

+Sign-out also ends the identity provider's browser session. The companion sends only the fixed registered callback with `sign-out`; the service refuses any other value, asks QQQ to log out with `nativeLogout.postLogoutRedirectUri`, and returns the provider end-session request to the companion over the administrator-only pipe. That request carries the provider's ID token hint (sensitive, bounded to 32 KiB, no whitespace or control characters), so it is never logged, the record prints redacted, and only the provider host is logged. Core refuses the data unless the issuer equals the one QQQ advertises, the end-session endpoint is HTTPS on the issuer's origin and identical to the provider's own discovery, and the callback is the one requested. The browser return is accepted only on the exact callback with the state this sign-out generated. Browser sign-in also sends `max_age=0` beside `prompt=login`.
+
 Realtime frames and queues have administrator-configured byte/count bounds validated against declared client ceilings. Defaults are 1 MiB per complete frame, 64 queued frames and 4 MiB queued bytes. Fragmentation does not bypass the complete-message limit. The journal admits at most 4,096 command records and 128 retained connection states, failing closed when capacity is exhausted. A durable marker precedes any effect. Crash recovery produces OUTCOME_UNKNOWN; duplicate delivery reuses the exact saved receipt rather than repeating cancellation. No raw executable, printer name or arbitrary spool ID comes from the server: CANCEL_SPOOL resolves its job ID through the current connection's local receipt and verifies the exact QQQ document at the Windows spooler boundary.

 Successful cancellation means Windows accepted the request, not that printed paper was recalled. Absent/completed jobs, ownership mismatch, failure, expiry and uncertain outcome remain distinct. Only a specific missing command receipt after expiry plus seven days retires its transport retry, preserving the exact local receipt and distinguishing retirement from server acknowledgement. Discovery/socket failures never use this exception. Acknowledged or transport-retired command history can be pruned after 30 days; unresolved current-connection evidence remains and causes explicit capacity backpressure. No global Windows queue purge is implemented.
