Fixed

• EKS — DescribeCluster returns a host-reachable endpoint on every path — DescribeCluster now advertises the host-published port, https://{MINISTACK_HOST}:{port} (MINISTACK_HOST defaults to localhost), uniformly on cluster create, OIDC-config restart, and persistence restore. Previously the failure-fallback and restore paths could leave a stale value, so aws eks update-kubeconfig + kubectl from the host got an unreachable endpoint. The k3s container publishes 6443 to that host port (ports={"6443/tcp": port}), so the endpoint works from the host and from containers that can route to MINISTACK_HOST, keeping the ACTIVE-cluster shape consistent for aws eks update-kubeconfig and Terraform.

• SQS — SendMessage rejects message bodies with XML 1.0 forbidden characters — AWS SQS only accepts characters valid in XML 1.0 and returns InvalidMessageContents for anything else; MiniStack silently accepted them, so a payload that fails against real AWS passed locally. SendMessage (and every SendMessageBatch entry) now rejects bodies containing C0 control characters other than tab/LF/CR, the surrogate block #xD800–#xDFFF, and #xFFFE/#xFFFF with InvalidMessageContents.
