mlsmayconandClaude Fable 5.1 6125b3d6f0 [management] Validate the proxy cluster an agent network bootstraps onto
The agent network gateway service is synthesised as private: agents reach
it over the WireGuard tunnel, authorised by their peer identity, with the
cluster itself as its only target. Only a reverse proxy cluster with
private capabilities can serve that, which management reports per cluster
as the `private` capability — the same supports_private flag the dashboard
gates NetBird-only services on.

CreateSettings took any hostname as proxy_address and only normalised it,
so a bootstrap could pin an account to a cluster without private
capabilities. The endpoint is immutable, leaving a dead gateway until the
settings row is deleted and re-bootstrapped.

Both bootstrap paths now validate the picked cluster before an endpoint is
allocated: a cluster the account can see must have a connected proxy
reporting the capability, shared and account-owned alike. Whether
management knows a cluster comes from its proxy rows, never from how fresh
their heartbeats are, so a cluster without the capability stays refused
while its proxies are merely offline. A hostname no proxy has declared
stays pinnable, the address-first order the self-addressed path documents.
Cluster identity is compared case-insensitively over the account's cluster
list, since proxies declare their address as the operator spelled it.

Rebased onto main after #7519 landed; the ownership check this builds on
is main's now.

// The synthesised gateway service is always private: agents reach it over the
// WireGuard tunnel and are authorised by their peer identity. Only a cluster
// with private capabilities can serve that, and management reports it per
// cluster as the `private` capability — the same supports_private flag the
// dashboard reads to decide which clusters it may offer. The endpoint assigned at bootstrap is immutable, so pinning
// to a cluster that cannot serve it has to be refused up front rather than
// leaving the account with a dead gateway.
//
// One combined server and one cluster address, walked through three states:
// a live centralised proxy (refused), that proxy stopped so nothing in the
// cluster is live any more (still refused — the record of what the cluster is
// outlives its heartbeats), and finally a private-capable proxy (accepted, the
// capability being any-true across the cluster's live proxies). Same account,
// same address, so nothing but the cluster's state accounts for the different
// answers.
