Harden Overlay package profiles and release contracts

[ty-everett]

Summary

• standardize @bsv/overlay, @bsv/overlay-discovery-services, @bsv/overlay-topics, and @bsv/overlay-express on the node-library health profile
• make dual-package exports and declarations consumer-safe, fix Overlay's broken ./storage entry, and validate locally packed release candidates across dependent packages
• enable strict TypeScript for Discovery and Topics, fix the null/undefined/error boundaries it exposed, modernize Jest coverage collection, and make lint warning-free
• replace stale package usage docs with current runtime, packaging, security, CORS/CSP, and development guidance
• ratchet repository-health package findings from 24 to 12

No package version is changed and nothing is published by this PR.

Why

Tracker #324 identifies these four Overlay packages as the next incomplete broad package-quality wave. Workspace builds hid broken package boundaries: Overlay advertised a nonexistent ./storage entry, and Overlay Express could only be validated against unpublished workspace dependencies. Strict compilation also exposed unsafe nullable lookup and malformed-script paths.

Validation

• 716 package tests pass (4 pre-existing skips)
• all four package coverage commands pass with source-only coverage
• all four package format, warning-free lint, typecheck, and packed-consumer checks pass
• full workspace build, lint, and package-artifact matrix pass
• repository health: 31/31 controls, 12 findings, 11 exceptions, 0 errors
• pnpm audit --audit-level=high: no known vulnerabilities
• SDK peer contract passes

Closes no tracker item until exact-head CI, security analysis, review, merge, and exact-main validation are complete. Progress is recorded in #324.

Sonar remediation is pushed at exact head 1928f5048e6a9959693401f8d9c1ba69572fe739.

The first analysis correctly stopped the PR: new-code duplication was 3.6% (13 lines, gate 3%), MonsterBattleTopicManager.checkScriptFormat was one cognitive-complexity point over the limit, and checkConsumer had eight positional parameters. The update:

• replaces three duplicated BSV-20 parsing blocks with one strict shared validator that rejects missing, primitive, malformed, unsupported-operation, and transfer-without-ID payloads;
• removes the nested parser branch from MonsterBattle;
• changes the artifact consumer to one named options object.

Focused validation on this head: Topics format/lint/typecheck pass; 34 suites, 302 tests pass with one pre-existing skip; source-only coverage passes; helper tests pass 4/4; all Overlay/Discovery/Topics/Express packed-consumer checks pass; repository health remains 31/31 controls, 12 findings, 11 exceptions, 0 errors. No gate was suppressed and no Sonar setting was changed.

Codecov patch remediation is pushed at exact head ce814152eed692f19227c322ac8bbf6ad7654234.

The prior external report was not bypassed: it showed 13 hits, 9 misses, and 7 partial changed lines (44.83%). The new regression suite covers the nullable lookup branches, all Desktop Integrity and Slack Threads binary-shape outcomes, all shared BSV-20/error-normalization branches, unresolved input discovery, both missing previous-coin source boundaries, and a balanced previous-token transfer.

Local evidence on this exact head:

• LCOV classified every executable added/changed Topics line against origin/main: 29 hits, 0 misses, 0 partials — 100% patch coverage;
• 35 suites pass with 326 tests passed and one pre-existing skip;
• Topics source-only coverage passes at 55.79% lines / 47.53% branches; TokenDemo is 93.22% lines / 89.74% branches; both new shared helpers are 100% lines and branches;
• Topics format, warning-free lint, strict typecheck, build, and packed-consumer validation pass;
• repository health remains 31/31 controls, 12 findings, 11 exceptions, 0 errors.

No coverage threshold, Codecov setting, or exclusion was changed.

Maintainer exact-head approval in substance (ty-everett): I reviewed commit ce814152eed692f19227c322ac8bbf6ad7654234, based directly on main@96ad2b2e1f52d185d3f1621311758dc1554aee2d.

Review findings were remediated before merge:

• the first Sonar analysis failed at 3.6% new-code duplication and reported cognitive-complexity / positional-parameter findings; shared strict parsing and named options reduced duplication to 0.7%, and the final quality gate has 0 open issues, 0 hotspots, and A ratings for reliability, security, and maintainability;
• the first Codecov patch check failed at 44.83%; 24 focused boundary regressions were added, and exact-head Codecov now reports 30 hits, 0 misses, 0 partials, and 100% patch coverage;
• Overlay's broken ./storage package entry is corrected; ESM/CommonJS declarations and tarball consumers are validated; Overlay Express consumes exact local release-candidate tarballs;
• Discovery and Topics compile strictly, nullable/malformed/error paths are guarded, and all four package lints are warning-free;
• public-by-default Overlay Express cross-domain access is retained, with opt-in exact allowlisting and deployment-owned CSP documented.

Exact-head evidence: 31/31 PR checks pass, including full split coverage, CodeQL, Dependency Review, Socket, Sonar, repository health, platform checks, Node 24, and merge gate. Local package suites total 740 passed with 4 pre-existing skips; all package format/lint/typecheck/pack contracts pass; repository health is 31/31 controls with findings reduced 24 to 12 and 0 errors; audit reports no known vulnerabilities. There are 0 PR CodeQL alerts, 0 Dependabot alerts, 0 secret-scanning alerts, no review threads/change requests, no package version changes, and no publication.

GitHub does not permit an author to submit an APPROVED review on their own pull request, so this COMMENT review records the completed exact-head maintainer decision. I approve this SHA for the authorized admin squash merge; admin authority is used only to satisfy that impossible self-approval requirement.
