refactor: remove deploy.cmd and update Dockerfile for health checks

- Deleted the deploy.cmd script as it was no longer needed.
- Updated Dockerfile to include curl for health checks and added a non-root user for improved security.
- Modified health check command to use curl for better reliability.
- Adjusted docker-compose.test.yml to reflect changes in health check configuration.
- Cleaned up appsettings.json and removed unused configuration properties.
- Removed Resource entity and related requests from the codebase as part of the architectural shift.
- Updated documentation to reflect the removal of hardware binding and related endpoints.

+## Cycle 1 Additions (2026-05-13)
+
+The scenarios below were appended during the existing-code cycle 1 Test-Spec Sync (autodev Step 12) for tasks AZ-513, AZ-196, AZ-183, AZ-197. Numbering continues from the legacy IDs above; existing IDs are preserved.
+
+### Cycle 1 Obsoletion Note
+
+The following legacy entries describe behaviour removed by AZ-197 (admin-side hardware-binding cleanup). Their bodies are intentionally left intact to preserve traceability IDs per the cycle-update rule "preserve existing traceability IDs"; they should be treated as obsolete and superseded by FT-N-15 below:
+
+- FT-P-04 (First Hardware Check Stores Fingerprint) — superseded; the `POST /resources/check` endpoint and the hardware-store side-effect were removed.
+- FT-P-05 (Subsequent Hardware Check Matches) — superseded; same endpoint removed.
+- FT-N-06 (Hardware Mismatch) — superseded; the `HardwareIdMismatch` / error code 40 path no longer exists in `ExceptionEnum`.
+- FT-P-09 / FT-P-10 wire shape — the `hardware` field on `POST /resources/get/{dataFolder}` is no longer required; the encryption key is now derived from `email + password` only. The tests still pass without the field; do not regenerate spec bodies until a full `/test-spec` rerun.
+
+See `_docs/03_implementation/batch_06_report.md` for the full AZ-197 implementation rationale and the wire-compat policy decision (drop entirely).

+- Caller authenticated as ApiAdmin
+- `detection_classes` table exists

+**Category**: Device Provisioning
+
+**Preconditions**:
+- Caller authenticated as ApiAdmin
+- No (or known-prior) CompanionPC users in DB
+
+**Input data**: POST /devices with no body, ApiAdmin JWT
+
+**Steps**:
+
+| Step | Consumer Action | Expected System Response |
+|------|----------------|------------------------|

+**Max execution time**: 5s

+#### FT-P-20: Returned Device Credentials Can Login
+
+**Summary**: The plaintext password returned by POST /devices succeeds against POST /login (and the persisted hash is therefore correct).
+**Traces to**: AZ-196 AC-3, AZ-196 AC-4
+**Category**: Device Provisioning
+
+**Preconditions**:
+- Caller authenticated as ApiAdmin
+
+**Input data**: Use the response from POST /devices as `{Email, Password}` to POST /login
+
+**Steps**:
+
+| Step | Consumer Action | Expected System Response |
+|------|----------------|------------------------|
+| 1 | POST /devices with ApiAdmin JWT | HTTP 200, `{Serial, Email, Password}` returned |
+| 2 | POST /login with the returned `Email` and `Password` | HTTP 200 with non-empty JWT |
+
+**Expected outcome**: HTTP 200 on login; persisted user has Role=CompanionPC, IsEnabled=true (verified by AdminApi behaviour rather than direct DB inspection)
+**Max execution time**: 5s
+
+---
+
+#### FT-N-14: POST /devices Without ApiAdmin JWT
+
+**Summary**: POST /devices requires `apiAdminPolicy`.
+**Traces to**: AZ-196 AC-5

+### Resources OTA Update Check (AZ-183) — REVERTED post-cycle-1
+
+The OTA update check & publish feature shipped in cycle 1 was reverted later the same day after the security audit (finding F-1: `/get-update` disclosed plaintext per-resource encryption keys to any authenticated caller). The OTA delivery model itself was deemed obsolete in the target architecture.
+
+The scenarios `FT-P-21`, `FT-P-22`, `FT-P-23` are retained here as ID placeholders so previously-cited references resolve. Their bodies are intentionally collapsed because the underlying endpoints, service, entity, table, and the e2e test class `ResourceUpdateTests.cs` were all removed. See `_docs/02_document/system-flows.md` (Flow F10) and `_docs/05_security/security_report.md` (finding F-1) for context.
+
+| Removed Test ID | Was tracing | Disposition |
+|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
+| FT-P-21 | AZ-183 AC-2 | Removed — endpoint and test deleted |
+| FT-P-22 | AZ-183 AC-3 | Removed — endpoint and test deleted |
+| FT-P-23 | AZ-183 AC-5 | Removed — endpoint and test deleted |
+

+
+### Hardware-Binding Removal (AZ-197)
+
+#### FT-N-15: Hardware Endpoints Removed
+
+**Summary**: The legacy `PUT /users/hardware/set` endpoint and the `POST /resources/check` endpoint have been removed and now return 404.
+**Traces to**: AZ-197 AC-2
+**Category**: Authorization & Routing
+
+**Preconditions**:
+- Updated admin API build (post-AZ-197)
+
+**Input data**: PUT /users/hardware/set and POST /resources/check
+
+**Steps**:
+
+| Step | Consumer Action | Expected System Response |
+|------|----------------|------------------------|
+| 1 | PUT /users/hardware/set with ApiAdmin JWT | HTTP 404 |
+| 2 | POST /resources/check with ApiAdmin JWT | HTTP 404 |
+
+**Expected outcome**: HTTP 404 on both routes
+**Max execution time**: 5s
+
+Note: AZ-197 AC-1 (resource download works without `Hardware`) is implicitly covered by the existing FT-P-09 / FT-P-10 scenarios once their request bodies are aligned with the new wire shape. AZ-197 AC-3..AC-8 are internal-signature / build-system invariants and are verified at build/CI time, not via a blackbox HTTP scenario.

 # Performance Tests
 
+> **Cycle 1 update (2026-05-13)**: NFT-PERF-02 and NFT-PERF-03 (encrypted resource download, small/large file) were removed because the OTA / encrypted-resource-download endpoints (`POST /resources/get/...`) and the hardware-binding flow they depended on were reverted in cycle 1 (AZ-183 OTA revert, AZ-197 hardware removal). When OTA returns under the new architecture, perf scenarios for it must be re-derived from the new endpoints.

The runner spins up the SUT via `docker-compose.test.yml`, seeds 500 perf users into `test-db`, executes k6, captures the JSON summary to `e2e/test-results/perf-summary.json`, and tears down.
+
+To run locally: `./scripts/run-performance-tests.sh`. Requires `k6` (`brew install k6`) and Docker.
