Adds a multi-stage Dockerfile that builds libmodsecurity v3, Apache 2.4.62, and the connector, plus docker-compose.yml, an automated test-connector.sh smoke test, and docs summarizing the fixes and how to verify them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
test-rules.conf's REQUEST_BODY rule used status:488, a non-standard code Apache can't emit on the wire (it falls back to 500), while test-connector.sh inconsistently expected 403 for the same rule in one test and 488 in another. Use 403 everywhere so the smoke suite actually passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Builds the Docker image and runs test-connector.sh on push to master and on pull requests that touch the Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, test-connector.sh, or src/. There was previously no CI covering the Docker build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a Debian-based Docker build for the ModSecurity Apache connector, a Compose test service, connector integration tests, CI automation, and Docker testing documentation. ChangesDocker Connector Testing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Docker test image currently omits the C++ runtime required by the built module, so the container cannot start and the promised smoke-test environment is not usable; merge should wait for that runtime dependency to be included.

In @.github/workflows/docker-build.yml:
- Around line 6-18: Update the path filters in the Docker build workflow for
both push and pull_request triggers so changes to any Docker build input are
included, including files copied by Dockerfile’s COPY . .; remove the
restrictive filters or replace them with coverage for all relevant repository
files, while keeping the workflow’s existing trigger behavior otherwise
unchanged.
In `@DOCKER_TEST.md`:
- Line 122: Replace the stale `/tmp/fixes_summary.md` reference in the
documentation with a repository-relative Markdown link to `FIXES_SUMMARY.md`.
In `@docker-compose.yml`:
- Around line 36-41: Update the healthcheck command to use the installed wget
client instead of curl, targeting http://localhost:8080/ and discarding the
response so the check succeeds when Apache serves requests.
- Around line 53-55: Update the modsec2-apache-debug service configuration and
its apache anchor inheritance so it does not publish host port 8080 when both
Apache services start by default; remove or override the inherited mapping with
another host port, while preserving the existing container port and service
behavior.
In `@Dockerfile`:
- Around line 38-50: Pin the ModSecurity clone in the Dockerfile to an immutable
commit instead of the mutable v3/master branch, and pin all referenced raw
GitHub configuration URLs to commit-specific revisions. Add checksum or
signature verification for the Apache archive before extracting it, and ensure
the fetched ModSecurity source used by build.sh is covered by these immutable
references.
In `@test-connector.sh`:
- Around line 88-98: Update Test 6 in the large malicious POST case to expose a
fixture-specific rule-evaluation signal through the audit or error log, then
assert that the request produced exactly one evaluation in addition to verifying
HTTP 403. Use the existing test logging and counter mechanisms rather than
inferring evaluation count from the response status.

The compose setup could not start: the healthcheck called curl, which is not installed in the runtime image, and the debug service inherited the 8080 port mapping from the anchor so both services bound the same port. The crs/ bind mounts pointed at paths that are not in the repository, so Docker silently created them as empty directories. Drop the Apache source build in favour of Debian's apache2 package. The image now gets 2.4.68 instead of the pinned 2.4.62, and the build no longer needs an unverified tarball download. Pin libmodsecurity to the v3.0.16 release tag rather than tracking v3/master, and take the recommended configuration from that same source tree so it cannot drift from the version we built. Remove the environment anchors, the CRS mounts and the backend service: nothing in the image reads any of them. Delete FIXES_SUMMARY.md and the DOCKER_TEST.md section listing src/ changes that are not part of this branch. Enable the ModSecurity debug log so the suite can report how many times the request-body phase runs for a single request. On the current source a 100KB body is evaluated 26 times instead of once, which is the per-bucket defect the connector fixes address.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remains after this review.
DOCKER_TEST.md documented four connector fixes that are not on this branch, including the claim that msc_process_request_body() is only called once at EOS. It also still referenced the source-built Apache 2.4.62 layout under /usr/local/apache2 and libmodsecurity tracking v3/master, both of which changed when the image moved to Debian's apache2 and a pinned libmodsecurity release. Rewrite it around what the harness provides: how to run it, which signals show rule evaluation, and why the request-body phase count is reported rather than asserted.
