Add Docker build for browser mode with optimized 3-stage build, multi-platform support, comprehensive UI testing, one-click deployment, enterprise SSO integration, and biweekly CI pipeline (#934)

## Docker Build for Browser Solution

This PR creates a Docker build for the browser solution (MQTT Explorer
server mode).

### Completed:
- [x] Create a production Dockerfile for the browser solution
(`Dockerfile.browser`)
  - **NEW**: 3-stage build for maximum optimization

--production`
  - **NEW**: Only compiled dist/ folder copied (no source code)
  - Alpine Linux base with Node.js 24
  - Non-root user (UID 1001) for security
  - Health check endpoint with proper error handling
  - Proper signal handling with dumb-init
  - Production dependencies automatically filtered by yarn
- [x] Apply Docker best practices (multi-stage build, minimal image,
non-root user, .dockerignore)
  - Created comprehensive .dockerignore
  - **FIXED**: Removed events from .dockerignore (needed for build)
  - **NEW**: Optimized for smaller layers with combined RUN commands
  - **NEW**: Removed development dependencies from final image
  - Used alpine base image
- [x] Create GitHub Actions workflow for building, publishing, and
testing the Docker image
  - Builds for linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7
- **FIXED**: Added tsconfig.json and events/** to workflow trigger paths
- **FIXED**: Attestation now uses correct digest from build step output
  - **NEW**: Mosquitto MQTT broker service for integration testing
- **NEW**: MQTT broker configurable via MQTT_BROKER_HOST and
MQTT_BROKER_PORT environment variables
  - **NEW**: Full UI test suite runs against containerized application
- Tests container startup, health check, HTTP response, data persistence
  - **NEW**: Image size reporting in workflow summary
  - Tests verify application works with MQTT broker
- Publishes to GitHub Container Registry
(ghcr.io/thomasnordquist/mqtt-explorer)
  - Includes build attestation for supply chain security
- [x] Configure workflow to run on push and every two weeks via cron
schedule
  - Runs on 1st and 15th of each month at 2:00 AM UTC
- Also runs on push to master/beta/release branches when relevant files
change
  - Manual trigger via workflow_dispatch
- [x] Add comprehensive test suite
- Basic smoke tests: startup, health check, HTTP response, data
persistence
- **NEW**: Full UI test suite (`test:browser`) runs against Docker
container
- **NEW**: Tests connect to configurable MQTT broker (default
localhost:1883)
- Tests execute with Mosquitto MQTT broker available for backend
integration
  - Same comprehensive tests validate both Electron and browser modes
- [x] Test organization and naming
- **NEW**: Renamed `test:ui` to `test:electron` for Electron-specific
tests
- **NEW**: Added `test:browser` script for browser mode tests (runs same
UI test suite)
  - **NEW**: Kept `test:ui` as backward-compatible alias
- **NEW**: Renamed `ui-tests` workflow job to `electron-tests` for
clarity
- [x] Update documentation with Docker usage instructions
  - Created DOCKER.md with comprehensive Docker documentation
  - Updated README.md with Docker quick start
  - **UPDATED**: CI_CD.md now lists all 10 test steps accurately
  - **NEW**: Added one-click deployment options section
  - **NEW**: Added authentication modes documentation
- [x] **NEW**: One-click deployment solutions
  - **NEW**: Created docker-compose.yml for easy deployment
- **NEW**: Added Play with Docker (PWD) badge for instant browser-based
demo
  - **NEW**: Added DigitalOcean App Platform deployment badge
  - **NEW**: Added Koyeb deployment badge
  - **NEW**: Comprehensive deployment options documentation in DOCKER.md
- **NEW**: "Try It Now" section in README.md and DOCKER.md with PWD
badge
- [x] **NEW**: Enterprise authentication integration
  - **NEW**: Added `MQTT_EXPLORER_SKIP_AUTH` environment variable
- **NEW**: Allows disabling built-in authentication for proxy-based auth
(OAuth2 Proxy, Authelia, enterprise SSO)
- **NEW**: Socket.IO emits `auth-status` event on connection with
authentication state
- **NEW**: Frontend receives auth status via Socket.IO and skips login
dialog when disabled
  - **NEW**: Logout button hidden when authentication is disabled
- **NEW**: Created AuthContext for managing authentication state across
components
- **NEW**: Comprehensive security warnings in documentation about using
skip auth only behind trusted authentication proxies
- **NEW**: Updated docker-compose.yml with commented example for proxy
authentication
- [x] Code review and security scan passed
  - Fixed health check to handle connection errors properly
  - Corrected cron schedule comment
  - No security vulnerabilities found
  - Fixed image tag naming consistency
  - Simplified dependency management
- **FIXED**: Workflow trigger paths now include all build-affecting
files
  - **FIXED**: Attestation digest reference corrected
  - **FIXED**: events directory included in Docker build context
- **FIXED**: Mosquitto service properly configured for integration
testing
- **FIXED**: MQTT broker connection now configurable for flexible
testing environments
- **IMPROVED**: Auth status now communicated via Socket.IO for better
real-time synchronization
- [x] Rename image to ghcr.io/thomasnordquist/mqtt-explorer (removed
-browser suffix)
- [x] Add multi-platform support for Raspberry Pi
  - linux/arm64 (Raspberry Pi 3/4/5)
  - linux/arm/v7 (Raspberry Pi 2/3)
- [x] Upgrade to Node.js 24 (matching project requirements)
- [x] **NEW**: Optimize Docker image for minimal size
  - Only production dependencies (no devDependencies)
  - No backend source code (only compiled JavaScript)
  - Removed build tools and dev dependencies
  - Combined layers for smaller image
  - **Image size reported in workflow summary**
- [x] **NEW**: Fix webpack build configuration
  - **Enable minification** for production builds (was disabled)
  - **Update Material-UI references** from @material-ui to @mui
  - Fix vendor chunking to include @mui and @emotion packages
  - Reduces bundle size and fixes missing component issues

### Docker Image Features:
- **Base**: Alpine Linux with Node.js 24
- **Size**: Reported automatically in workflow summary
- **Platforms**: amd64, arm64, arm/v7 (Raspberry Pi support)
- **Security**: Non-root user, minimal attack surface
- **Reliability**: Health checks, graceful shutdown
- **Persistence**: Data volume at `/app/data`
- **Registry**: ghcr.io/thomasnordquist/mqtt-explorer
- **Runtime deps**: Only production dependencies (automatically
filtered)
- **Frontend**: Minified webpack bundles with proper vendor splitting
- **Testing**: Full UI test suite with configurable MQTT broker
integration
- **One-Click Deploy**: Play with Docker, DigitalOcean, Koyeb
- **Enterprise Ready**: Optional authentication bypass for proxy-based
SSO

### Available Tags:
- `latest` - Latest stable from master
- `master`, `beta`, `release` - Latest from each branch
- `<branch>-<sha>` - Specific commits

### Authentication Options:
1. **Standard Mode** (default): Built-in username/password
authentication
- Set credentials via `MQTT_EXPLORER_USERNAME` and
`MQTT_EXPLORER_PASSWORD` environment variables
2. **Skip Authentication Mode**: Set `MQTT_EXPLORER_SKIP_AUTH=true` for
proxy-based auth
- Use only behind trusted authentication proxies (OAuth2 Proxy,
Authelia, enterprise SSO)
- Socket.IO automatically informs frontend about auth status on
connection
- Frontend skips login dialog and logout button is hidden when
authentication is disabled
- ⚠️ **Security Warning**: Only use in environments with external
authentication protection

### One-Click Deployment:
Try MQTT Explorer instantly without installation:
- **Play with Docker**: Free browser-based demo (click badge in
README.md or DOCKER.md)
- **DigitalOcean**: Deploy to managed platform starting at $5/month
- **Koyeb**: Deploy to global edge network with free tier

### Security Summary:
- CodeQL scan passed with no vulnerabilities
- Docker image runs as non-root user (UID 1001)
- Multi-stage build reduces attack surface
- Health check includes proper error handling
- Minimal runtime dependencies reduce vulnerability exposure
- Full UI test suite validates application functionality
- Build attestation with correct digest reference
- MQTT broker integration tested with configurable connection via
environment variables
- Optional authentication bypass for enterprise SSO integration (with
comprehensive security warnings)
- Auth status communicated via Socket.IO for real-time synchronization
