Closes #39

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Added certificate pin configuration for API and WebSocket endpoints.
    • Added validation rules to ensure certificate pin entries use the expected format and required fields.

Add certificate pin configuration and JSON schema for runtime pin
updates, while retaining hardcoded defaults as a fallback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a certificate pin configuration file for API and WebSocket endpoints. Adds a JSON Schema Draft 7 definition that validates host mappings and non-empty base64-encoded SPKI SHA-256 pin arrays.

Changes

Certificate pinning configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration values and validation schema
config/certificate_pins.schema.json, config/certificate_pins.json
The configuration defines placeholder pin lists for api.pinnaclemm.exchange and ws.pinnaclemm.exchange. The schema requires a non-empty pins object and validates each pin string and array. Additional top-level properties are rejected.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b9e0

The PR adds certificate-pin configuration, but the current files use the wrong structure and invalid placeholder values, so the runtime cannot load usable pins. The configuration contract and verified pin values must be corrected before this PR is merge-ready.

Replace the placeholder pins before shipping.

These values are not Base64-encoded SHA-256 digests. If core/utils/CertificatePinner.cpp Lines 78-120 loads this file, it passes them to addPin as runtime pins. They cannot match the public-key digest of either endpoint, so this configuration cannot support certificate rotation. Replace all four values with verified SPKI SHA-256 Base64 pins for the named hosts.

Align the configuration contract and enforce valid pin values.

The runtime expects a top-level certificate_pins object whose host entries contain a pins array, with optional enforce and top-level enabled settings. Update the schema and JSON to match that structure, and require padded Base64 for 32-byte SHA-256 digests (for example, ^[A-Za-z0-9+/]{43}=$).
