base-trixie: findings of the reviews
Security review (1c6e04b):
- The panel's database and its -wal/-shm were 0644 under a traversable
  /data, holding the panel users' password hashes and session token
  hashes. store.Open now makes them 0600 (SQLite gives the next -wal/-shm
  the database's mode: findCreateFileMode(), unixOpenSharedMemory());
  TestOpenKeepsTheDatabasePrivate.
- The entrypoint removes a symbolic link the panel user could leave where
  a /data directory, table, map, the queue or mail.log is expected, before
  its root steps chmod or create them (drop_links).
- The panel user is 10999:10999, outside the system range: in trixie
  useradd gave it group 998, the host's systemd-network on the test
  server; bookworm's 999 was the host's systemd-journal.
- security.md said the database was 0640; it was 0644.

Technical review (1c6e04b):
- mail_helpers.go: smtp-sink does add a Received: header, "(smtp-sink)"
  (smtp-sink.c:520-531); the "(Postfix)" filter leaves it out.
- CHANGELOG/roadmap: OpenDKIM's signing and From:-parsing code is
  unchanged, not all of it; the retry-policy bug predates 3.9 (any
  postconf warning); three entries moved from Fixed to Changed, as no
  released image had them.
- internal/app/sasl.go: db_dump's stdout alone is parsed.
- mynetworks comment: postinst:180, fset_all_changed.

Tests: on the server, make e2e exit 0 (712 s), go vet + go test 27
packages ok.

// created and removed with the standard saslpasswd2 tool.
//
// saslpasswd2 is never pointed at the live file. Cyrus SASL 2.1.28 opens
// sasldb2 with no Berkeley DB environment, so without locks
// (sasldb/db_berkeley.c, berkeleydb_open(): db_create(mbdb, NULL, 0)), and a
// write puts and deletes in the file itself (_sasldb_putdata()); smtpd opens
// and closes it for every lookup (_sasldb_getdata()), and the backup reads it
// whenever it runs. Either could read a page half written: a spurious 535 for
// an application, or a torn sasldb2 in a backup whose restore breaks every
// application's AUTH (assumptions C-S3, C-Q3). So each change is made to a
// copy, which is then renamed over the file (replaceSASLDB): a reader opens
// the old file or the new one, whole, and needs no lock. mu keeps the
