fix(proxy): require https for non-loopback metadata proxies; harden CI

[JonahMMay]

Summary

Follow-up to the CodeRabbit review on #11, plus CI hardening.

Proxy security (CodeRabbit, provider/client.go:134)

• SetProxyURL now accepts http:// only when the host is localhost or a loopback IP (127.0.0.0/8, ::1). Every other host must use https, because the proxy receives the TVDB API key on /login and the bearer token on every request. The error message says why the URL was rejected.
• Tests: new rejection cases (http://metadata.example.org, http://10.0.0.5:8080, http://localhost.example.org) and a test that https, localhost, 127.x and [::1] are accepted. Existing tests use httptest on 127.0.0.1 and still pass.
• The manifest's Proxy URL field description and the README both state the https requirement.

README (CodeRabbit, README.md:21): the README now says Retry-After waits stop at the request deadline or at the 10-minute cap on total waiting per request (defaultProxyBackpressureBudget), whichever comes first.

Lint: resp.Body.Close() errors are now explicitly discarded. These errcheck hits already existed and were hidden by only-new-issues; a full golangci-lint run now reports 0 issues.

CI hardening

• go test no longer ends in || true, so failing tests fail CI.
• Every action is pinned to a full commit SHA with a # vX.Y.Z comment (Renovate keeps it updated).
• golangci-lint is pinned to v2.14.0.
• persist-credentials: false on the release build and release jobs, which never push.
• Makefile build-all fails fast, is listed in .PHONY, and clean removes dist.
• CONTRIBUTING lists the lint and coverage commands.
• grpc: google.golang.org/grpc v1.83.1 → v1.83.2 (go mod tidy), for GO-2026-4762 / -6061 / -6348 / -6443. CodeRabbit flagged these on the audiobook and SDK sync PRs; every plugin was below the fixed version.
• CONTRIBUTING SDK wording: go.mod pins the SDK to a pseudo-version, so the guide no longer calls it a "tagged" or "released" dependency (the same finding CodeRabbit raised on the ebook and audiobook sync PRs).

Validation

golangci-lint run --max-issues-per-linter=0 --max-same-issues=0 ./...  # 0 issues
go test ./... -count=1 -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out    # ok
./scripts/check-coverage.sh coverage.out                               # coverage 96.2% (min 95.0%)
go test -race ./provider/ -run Proxy                                   # ok

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Metadata proxy settings now reject plain HTTP addresses unless they point to localhost or a loopback address. HTTPS proxy addresses remain supported.
• Documentation
  • Clarified that leaving the proxy URL blank sends requests directly to TVDB.
  • Documented the proxy’s request deadline and 10-minute maximum total wait time.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The provider now accepts plaintext HTTP proxy URLs only for localhost or loopback IP addresses. Response-body close errors are explicitly ignored. CI and release workflows pin actions to commit SHAs, CI propagates test failures, and local build and validation instructions are updated.

Changes

Proxy configuration and response handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Proxy URL policy and documentation provider/client.go, provider/client_proxy_test.go, README.md, manifest.json	SetProxyURL accepts HTTPS URLs and HTTP URLs for localhost or loopback IP addresses. Tests cover accepted and rejected URLs. The README and manifest describe the proxy URL rules.
Response body cleanup provider/client.go	Login and request paths explicitly ignore response-body close errors.

CI, release, and local build tooling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI checks and local validation instructions .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md	CI pins its actions, sets golangci-lint to v2.14.0, and no longer suppresses go test failures. CONTRIBUTING.md documents lint and coverage commands and the coverage floor.
Release workflow action pins .github/workflows/release.yml	The release workflow pins its actions to commit SHAs. Build and release checkouts disable persisted credentials; the version job checkout retains its existing credential behavior.
Local development and build commands CONTRIBUTING.md, Makefile, go.mod	CONTRIBUTING.md permits release-tag or pseudo-version SDK dependencies. build-all exits on a failed platform build, clean removes dist, and go.mod updates dependency versions.
