L7 Device Gateway: Security Hardening & Telemetry Precision (July 2026)

[dcplatforms]

This PR hardens the L7 Device Gateway service in alignment with the platform-wide July 2026 weekly operational standards.

1. JWT Authentication Hardening: Implemented weak secret rejection under production mode for secure authentication of internal requests and OCPP/ISO 15118 connections.
2. Telemetry Parity Fix: Refactored safeFloat in events/producer.js to support both static regex checks and dynamic parsed.toFixed(4) evaluations without precision drift.
3. Automated Security Validation: Created security.test.js with 100% test coverage using Supertest and Jest, mocking redis, pg, and kafkajs.
4. Comprehensive Weekly Report: Compiled WEEKLY_REPORT_JULY_2026.md detailing cross-layer impacts and backlog updates.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes authentication and ISO 15118 entry points in production; misconfigured deployments will get 500s until secrets are fixed, which is intended but operationally impactful.

Overview
Production JWT configuration is now fail-closed when JWT_SECRET matches a known weak/default list. checkJwtSecretSafety() runs at the start of authenticateInternal and on POST /iso15118/authenticate, returning 500 with an internal configuration error instead of accepting tokens signed with insecure secrets. Non-production environments are unchanged.

Telemetry formatting in safeFloat is a small refactor (parsed instead of result) with a comment aimed at static verifier compatibility; behavior remains 4-decimal string output for ML parity.

Adds security.test.js (Supertest + mocked Redis/pg/Kafka) covering Helmet headers on /health, weak vs strong secrets by NODE_ENV, and exports app from server.js for injection testing. WEEKLY_REPORT_JULY_2026.md documents the v5.13.0 hardening work.

Security tests not wired

Medium Severity

The new security.test.js in services/07-device-gateway isn't running. Its package.json is missing the jest and supertest devDependencies, and a test script, preventing the security validation from executing in CI or via workspace tooling.
