ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 c89e39c5ee feat(gateway): add environment-aware HTTP and websocket routing
New internal component (platform/gateway/) — the only student-facing path to
disposable Lab environments. Browsers never reach a Lab container, the
Provisioner, or Postgres directly.

Routes:
- /api/environment/{status,launch,reset} — student-facing glue (X-Student-Id),
  calls the Provisioner internally (shared secret never reaches the browser).
  Reuses an existing non-terminal environment on launch rather than always
  provisioning a new one; reset destroys+recreates the same environment row.
- /lab/<token>/* — HTTP+WS proxy into that one student's Lab container,
  resolved by opaque routing token via a new Provisioner endpoint
  (GET /environments/by-token/:token). No raw container IP/port ever reaches
  the browser. Rejects invalid tokens (404), unready environments (202/503),
  and cross-student access via an optional ?sid= ownership check (403) — see
  docs/PHASE2A_GATEWAY_AND_STUDENT_FLOW.md "Security" for why token-alone,
  student-id-alone, and env-id-alone are each individually insufficient and
  this is explicitly pilot-grade, not production auth.
- everything else — proxied to the persistent identity/curriculum backend
  (roster, login, curriculum, progress, platform-shell frontend), or to the
  student's own Lab if a valid lab-session cookie is present.

Routing design note: the existing Lab UI makes root-relative calls
(fetch('/api/scenarios'), the /shell-ws WebSocket) with no idea it might be
served under a /lab/<token>/ prefix — preserving that UI unmodified was a
hard requirement. Solved with an HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax cookie set on the
first /lab/<token>/ response: every later request from that browser carries
it, so the unmodified Lab UI's own unprefixed calls resolve correctly once a
student has navigated into a lab session, with zero changes to its code.
/api/environment/* is explicitly exempted from cookie-based routing so it
never gets hijacked by an active lab session.

Also added platform/docker-compose.dev.yml (the full local stack: Postgres +
egress-proxy + Provisioner + a persistent "identity" instance + Gateway) and
platform/README.md tying the components together. The "identity" instance
required an explicit `network_mode: bridge` — under Compose's own
auto-created bridge network, k3s failed at startup with "no default routes
found in /proc/net/route"; documented as a known limitation, not fully
root-caused.

Found and fixed during testing: express.json() applied globally broke
http-proxy's re-streaming of proxied POST bodies (e.g. POST /api/roster hung
forever, since the body had already been consumed by the parser before
proxy.web() tried to forward it). Removed — none of the Gateway's own routes
actually need a parsed body.
