REUSE-WP-0019-T02: hub recompose staleness tracking + Forgejo webhook

reuse_surface/hub/store.py: compose_state table tracking composed_at/stale,
updated only on a *forced* recompose (refresh=true, webhook, future
scheduled fallback) -- a plain GET still serves current best-effort data
but never silently reports itself as freshly composed.

reuse_surface/hub/webhooks.py: constant-time HMAC-SHA256 signature
verification (fails closed on an empty/unconfigured secret) and
path-only push-payload inspection (never parses file content, per design
principle 2 -- webhook only decides whether to trigger a pull-based
recompose).

New endpoint POST /v1/webhooks/forgejo, accepting both
X-Forgejo-Signature and X-Gitea-Signature headers since sibling repos
migrate independently. GET /v1/federated and POST /v1/federated/compose
now share an asyncio.Lock with the webhook so concurrent recompose
triggers coalesce instead of overlapping.

No separate /v1/recompose route was added -- POST /v1/federated/compose
already did that job from earlier hub work; specs/FederationHubAPI.md now
documents this explicitly instead of duplicating it.

28 new pytest cases (128 total pass). Live-verified: ran the actual hub
service locally and sent a real HMAC-signed webhook over HTTP, confirming
the full webhook-to-recompose path, signature rejection, and the
irrelevant-path no-op.

Does NOT deploy to the live reuse.coulomb.social hub -- that needs a
container rebuild/push/k8s rollout, a separate production-deployment
action out of scope here without explicit sign-off.

+Forgejo (or Gitea, during the transition) push-event webhook receiver.
+Added REUSE-WP-0019-T02. Design: **webhook triggers, compose stays
+pull-based** — the webhook never parses pushed file content into registry
+state; it only decides whether to trigger a pull-based recompose from the
+already-registered raw URLs.
+
+**Signature verification (required, not optional):** HMAC-SHA256 over the
+raw request body, hex-encoded, in `X-Forgejo-Signature` (or
+`X-Gitea-Signature` — both accepted, since Forgejo is Gitea-compatible and
+repos migrate independently). Secret from `REUSE_SURFACE_FORGEJO_WEBHOOK_SECRET`
+(never in code or committed config — route via the standard credential
+mechanism for this deployment). A missing/wrong signature is `401`; an
+unconfigured secret is `503` (fails closed, not open).
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+1. Verify signature (raw body, constant-time compare).
+2. Parse the push-event payload; check every commit's `added`/`modified`/`removed`
+   lists for any path under `registry/indexes/`.
+3. If none match: `200 {"accepted": false, "reason": "no registry/indexes/ change"}` — no-op.
+4. If a match: mark the compose state stale, run a real recompose
+   (`refresh=true` equivalent) under the same lock used by
+   `POST /v1/federated/compose` (concurrent triggers coalesce rather than
+   overlap), record `composed_at`, clear `stale`.
+
+**Response `200`:** `{"accepted": true|false, ...}`.  
+**Response `401`:** Missing or invalid signature.  
+**Response `503`:** Webhook secret not configured.  
+**Response `502`:** Recompose failed (stale is deliberately left set so the
+next check reports the failure honestly, not silently).
+
+Org-level webhook rollout (single config covering all repos, T03) and the
+Forgejo Actions scheduled fallback for when webhooks are unavailable are
+separate, deployment-side follow-ups — this section covers the receiver
+contract only.

-- Hub service (`reuse_surface/serve`): `POST /v1/recompose` (token-auth) —

-  (`X-Forgejo-Signature`, secret from env), accepts push events, triggers

-  recompose only when the pushed commits touch `registry/indexes/`

-- Debounce/coalesce concurrent triggers; `GET /v1/federated` gains
+Implemented in `reuse_surface/hub/`:
-  `composed_at` + `stale` fields
+
-- Extend `specs/FederationHubAPI.md`; pytest with signed fixture payloads
+- `store.py`: `compose_state` table (`composed_at`, `stale`), with
+  `record_compose()`/`mark_stale()`/`get_compose_state()`. `composed_at`
+  updates and `stale` clears only on a *forced* recompose (`refresh=true`,
+  webhook, or future scheduled fallback) — a plain `GET` still serves
+  current best-effort data but never silently reports itself as freshly
+  composed
+- `webhooks.py`: `verify_signature` (constant-time HMAC-SHA256, fails
+  closed on empty secret), `push_touches_registry_index` (path-only
+  inspection of the push payload's `added`/`modified`/`removed` lists —
+  never parses file content, per design principle 2)
+- `app.py`: `POST /v1/webhooks/forgejo` (accepts both `X-Forgejo-Signature`
+  and `X-Gitea-Signature`, since repos migrate independently);
+  `GET /v1/federated` and `POST /v1/federated/compose` now share an
+  `asyncio.Lock` so concurrent recompose triggers (manual, webhook, future
+  scheduled) coalesce instead of overlapping
+- `specs/FederationHubAPI.md` extended (§5.7-5.9, config table, error
+  codes)
+- 28 new pytest cases (16 in `test_hub.py`, 12 in `test_webhooks.py`); 128
+  total pass
+- **Live-verified**: ran the actual hub service locally
+  (`reuse-surface serve`), sent a real HMAC-signed webhook payload over
+  HTTP — confirmed `composed_at`/`stale` transitions, signature rejection,
+  irrelevant-path no-op, and the full webhook-to-recompose path end to end
+
+**Deployment boundary — deliberately not done:** this changes the hub
+*service source code* in this repo; it does **not** deploy to the live
+`reuse.coulomb.social` hub. That requires a container rebuild, registry
+push, and Kubernetes rollout — a production deployment action affecting a
+shared external service, out of scope for this task without explicit
+sign-off. See `docs/deploy/reuse-kubernetes.md`.
