fix(stargate): include Kubernetes router in runtime image

[mikeyrcamp]

TL;DR

Include stargate-k8s-router in the versioned, multi-architecture Stargate runtime image and retain a named standalone Bazel target for local validation.

This is the artifact prerequisite for #999. The latest Stargate release contains the router source, but its runtime image does not contain /usr/local/bin/stargate-k8s-router, so the Helm feature cannot safely reference any released image yet.

Additional Details

• Names the standalone router Bazel target stargate-k8s-router-image for local build and sideload validation.
• Adds the router layer to the Stargate Bazel image and copies the binary into the released Dockerfile stargate-runtime image.
• Inspects the assembled Stargate OCI layout in a test so removal of the router binary fails CI.

Landing order:

1. Merge this prerequisite.
2. Let the normal Stargate release bridge publish the new stargate patch image and verify that it contains the router binary.
3. Rebase feat(llm-request-router): route LLM workers through backend router #999, pin that published Stargate image tag, and complete the live authority/SNI routing validation.

For the Reviewer

Please focus on the named standalone router target, the extra layer in the Stargate image, and the OCI-layout assertion.

For QA

• bazel query 'kind("oci_image_index", //src/libraries/rust/stargate/...)' --output=label
  • includes stargate-k8s-router-image_index and the main Stargate image_index
• Linux CI is expected to run the OCI entrypoint and composite-image tests. Local macOS execution reached the repository hermetic Zig bootstrap and was blocked there by its known AccessDenied wrapper-build failure before target analysis.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Stargate runtime image now includes the Kubernetes router binary. Bazel assembles the router layer into the OCI image, and a shell-based test verifies the binary path.

Changes

Image publishing and packaging

Layer / File(s)	Summary
OCI image targets and runtime assembly src/libraries/rust/stargate/crates/stargate-k8s-router/BUILD.bazel, src/libraries/rust/stargate/crates/stargate/BUILD.bazel, src/libraries/rust/stargate/Dockerfile, src/libraries/rust/stargate/README.md	The router OCI target is renamed. Its image layer is added to the Stargate OCI image. The runtime image copies the router binary, and the README documents the combined image contents.
OCI image content validation src/libraries/rust/stargate/tools/ci/test-oci-image-contains-path.sh, src/libraries/rust/stargate/tools/ci/BUILD.bazel, src/libraries/rust/stargate/crates/stargate/BUILD.bazel	A shared shell utility scans OCI archives and symlinks for a requested path. A Bazel test uses it to verify /usr/local/bin/stargate-k8s-router.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 760ac

The change adds the Kubernetes router to the released multi-architecture runtime image, but the new validation can pass even when the required router binary is absent from a referenced image manifest. The image-content check should be corrected before merging.

Check architecture and sequence diagrams for this runtime change.

The versioned runtime can now start a second process from the same image. Confirm that maintained architecture or sequence diagrams describe this deployment option, and update them if required.

As per coding guidelines: when a change modifies runtime behavior, data flow, or component interactions, ask whether architecture or sequence diagrams need updating.
