Add encapic ENC client
The uv/python ENC script fails its first-invocation dependency resolution on
fresh compiler pods (exits 135/2), which breaks puppet agent catalog
compilation. encapic is a stdlib-only Go replacement with no runtime
dependency resolution.

- Add encapic CLI: fetch the cobbler-wire ENC document from encapi
  (ENCAPI_URL override, in-cluster default compiled in) and reshape it to
  match the python script byte-for-byte (classes to list, enc_role/enc_env
  parameters, environment dropped when testing), exiting non-zero on any
  HTTP/parse failure so the puppet exec ENC fails safe.
- Hand-parse the small fixed cobbler-wire YAML and hand-emit the output using
  the standard library only.
- Add table-driven normalisation tests, httptest 200/404/500/timeout tests,
  and a golden-output test.
- Add Makefile (build/test/lint/fmt + patch/minor/major with version
  ldflags), .gitignore, .pre-commit-config.yaml, and Woodpecker pipelines
  (build/test/pre-commit on pull_request; release on v* tags).

# encapic
Dependency-less Go CLI client for [encapi](https://git.unkin.net/unkin/encapi),
used as the Puppet exec External Node Classifier (ENC) on the Kubernetes
compilers.
It replaces the previous uv/python ENC script, whose first-invocation
dependency resolution failed on fresh compiler pods (exit 135/2), causing agent
catalog failures. encapic is a single static binary that depends on the Go
standard library only.
## Usage
```
encapic <certname>
```
encapic fetches the cobbler-wire ENC document from
```
${ENCAPI_URL}/cblr/svc/op/puppet/hostname/<certname>
```
reshapes it, and prints the resulting ENC YAML to stdout. It exits non-zero on
any HTTP or parse failure — including a 404 for an unknown node — so the puppet
exec `node_terminus` fails safe rather than compiling an empty catalog.
- `ENCAPI_URL` overrides the encapi base URL. The compiled-in default is
`http://encapi.encapi.svc.cluster.local` (the in-cluster service).
- The HTTP request has a 10s timeout.
## Behaviour (drop-in for the python ENC)
encapic reproduces the previous python script byte-for-byte:
- `classes` (a cobbler-wire map keyed by role, or a list) becomes a list of
role names;
- `parameters.enc_role` is set to that same list;
- when `environment` is present, `parameters.enc_env` is set to it, and the
top-level `environment` key is dropped when it equals `testing`;
- output keys are alphabetically sorted, matching python's `yaml.dump`.
Example output:
```yaml
classes:
- roles::infra::storage::vault
environment: develop
parameters:
enc_env: develop
enc_role:
- roles::infra::storage::vault
```
## Design: why the cobbler endpoint + hand-emitted YAML
encapi also exposes `/api/v1/nodes/<certname>/enc`, which serves the fully
reshaped document. encapic deliberately consumes the **cobbler-wire** endpoint
(`/cblr/svc/op/puppet/hostname/<certname>`) and reshapes it locally so its
output matches the python script it replaces byte-for-byte — meaning the swap
changes nothing the puppet agent sees. The consumed YAML has a small, fixed
shape and is hand-parsed; the emitted YAML is hand-written. This keeps encapic
on the standard library only, which is the entire point of the rewrite.
## Development
```
make build # static binary into dist/
make test # go test -v -race ./...
make lint # golangci-lint
make fmt # gofmt -w .
```
Release: `make minor` (etc.) tags `vX.Y.Z` and pushes it; the `release`
Woodpecker pipeline builds `encapic_linux_amd64` (+ `.sha256`) and attaches
them to a Gitea release.
