The unit tests all fake the process boundary, so the class of failure that
actually broke this project — container wiring: chroot vs DNS, milter socket
permissions, the SASL realm, the Postfix reload path, cap_add — is invisible
to them. Record the decision to close it with a hermetic containerised e2e:
a separate Go module under test/e2e/, driven against the shipped compose file
plus an override, with a fake DNS zone and an smtp-sink standing in for the
outside world.
It runs before tagging (make e2e on the dev server, plus workflow_dispatch)
and gates image publication on the tag itself, which pulls release.yml off
qemu onto a native amd64/arm64 matrix: build, test, push per-arch tags, merge
the manifest — so the bytes published are the bytes that were tested.
