Matrix cross-signing bootstrap — E2E test

Self-contained end-to-end test for the auto-bootstrap behavior added in gateway/platforms/matrix.py. Spins up a real Continuwuity homeserver in Docker, registers a fresh bot, runs the patched bootstrap path against it, and asserts:

1. Cross-signing keys get published with unpadded base64 keyids (the bug this PR fixes — padded keyids are silently rejected by matrix-rust-sdk in Element).
2. On a second startup with the same crypto store, bootstrap is skipped.
3. When MATRIX_RECOVERY_KEY is set, the existing recovery-key path takes precedence and no fresh bootstrap happens.

Run

# from repo root
docker compose -f tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/docker-compose.yml up -d
python tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/test_bootstrap.py
docker compose -f tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/docker-compose.yml down -v

The down -v step removes the persistent volume so the next run gets a fresh homeserver — important because Continuwuity's one-time admin registration token is only valid before the first user is created.

Port

The compose binds Continuwuity to 127.0.0.1:26167 by default. Override with HOMESERVER_HOST_PORT=NNNNN docker compose up -d if that port is busy locally.

What the test exercises

The test mirrors the bootstrap snippet from gateway/platforms/matrix.py (the "if MATRIX_RECOVERY_KEY else get_own_cross_signing_public_keys / generate_recovery_key" branch) inline so it runs without importing the entire hermes gateway and its many dependencies. If the source diverges from what's in _connect_with_bootstrap, this test must be updated to match. A small price for not requiring the full hermes-agent runtime in CI.

Skipped when

• mautrix Python package is not installed
• The homeserver isn't reachable at $E2E_MATRIX_HS (default http://127.0.0.1:26167)
