Quality (q) and fit were read after signature validation and folded
into the variant cache key, so one signed URL could be replayed across
100 quality values and 5 fit modes, yielding up to 500 unauthorized
cache entries and libvips transcodes.
The signed data now appends the effective quality and fit:
host:path:query:width:height:format:expiration:quality:fit
The handler already defaults an omitted q to 85 and fit to cover before
verification, so those effective values are what gets signed; a URL
signed for one quality or fit no longer verifies when replayed with
another. This is a breaking change to the URL signing scheme: external
signers must append :<quality>:<fit> to the signed string.
New known-answer vectors are added in golden_qualityfit_test.go; the
README signature specification is updated. The pre-existing
golden_test.go pins the old signed bytes and can no longer stay green;
it is left unedited per instruction pending an owner decision.

Add Quality and FitMode fields to signature.Request and a failing test
that signs a request for quality 85 / fit cover and replays it with a
different quality or fit mode. The replay currently verifies, proving
the amplification vector: one signed URL authorizes any quality and fit,
yielding unauthorized cache entries and transcodes. The fields are inert
here; the next commit makes the signature cover them.

Canonical v2-schema `.golangci.yml`, golangci-lint pins bumped to v2.12.2 in `Dockerfile` and `script/bootstrap`, and the tree brought to `0 issues.` under it.
Three behaviour deltas: `Cache.StoreVariant` takes a context (cancelled requests skip the accounting row, recovered by reconciliation); `MetadataStorage.Store` no longer leaks `.tmp-*.json` on Write/Close/Rename failure (dead-defer bug fix); the `signing_key` too-short error text gained a `value too short:` prefix.
Eviction-loop context cancellation deferred to #102.
Extracts HMAC-SHA256 request signing out of `internal/imgcache/` into its own `internal/signature/` package, per the plan in [issue #39](#39).
This is one of the remaining "easily separable" extractions (`imageprocessor`, `allowlist`, `magic`, and `httpfetcher` already landed). Only the signer is moved here so the diff stays reviewable.
## What moved
From `internal/imgcache/signature.go` and its tests into `internal/signature/`:
- `Signer` type, its `New` constructor, `Sign`, `Verify`, `GenerateSignedURL`
- `ParseParams` (query-string signature/expiration parsing)
- Signature error sentinels
## One-way import edge
To keep the import edge one-way (`imgcache` depends on `signature`, never the reverse), the package defines a standalone `Request` type carrying just the fields the signature covers, instead of importing `imgcache.ImageRequest`. `imgcache` projects its `ImageRequest` onto `signature.Request` via a small unexported `signatureRequest` helper. This mirrors how the `magic` extraction defined its own `ImageFormat` type.
## Renames (no stuttering)
- `NewSigner` -> `signature.New`
- `ParseSignatureParams` -> `signature.ParseParams`
- `ErrSignatureRequired`/`Invalid`/`Expired` -> `signature.ErrRequired`/`Invalid`/`Expired`
The `ErrRequired` message is updated from "non-whitelisted host" to "non-allowlisted host" for inclusive terminology, consistent with the `allowlist` rename.
## Rework (post-review)
Three commits added after review feedback:
- `d69019b` — golden known-answer test pinning the exact HMAC signatures and signed URL paths for three fixed vectors (resized, resized+query, orig size), cross-validated against an independent HMAC implementation. Any change to the signed byte format now fails loudly.
- `43b9f1c` — whitelist→allowlist rename completed across `internal/imgcache` and `internal/handlers` (`ServiceConfig.Allowlist`, `Allowlist` interface, `IsAllowlisted`, test helpers and test names).
- `3dc1999` — one-pass config surface rename, no back-compat alias: YAML key `whitelist_hosts` → `allowlist_hosts`, `Config.WhitelistHosts` → `Config.AllowlistHosts`, `config.example.yml`, `scripts/manual-test.sh`, and `README.md` (which also documented a nonexistent `source_host_whitelist` key — now fixed to the real one).
## Behavior
Pure refactor apart from the config key rename above. The bytes fed to the HMAC are unchanged (`host:path:query:width:height:format:expiration`), so previously issued signatures remain valid — now enforced by the golden test. All existing tests move with the package. `script/cibuild` passes at head `3dc1999` (fmt-check, lint, test, build).
