feat(x509): fallback to agent trusted certificates when trust list lookup fails - #456
getTrustedCertificatesForVerification() only calls getX509CertsByUrl() for non-attestation client auth. If the configured TRUST_LIST_URL is unreachable or misconfigured (common in local/dev/e2e), the entire flow fails even if the caller has already explicitly trusted a certificate via POST /x509/trusted.
This blocked mdoc issuance/verification flows that create and trust certificates dynamically in tests.
Solution
Import X509ModuleConfig.
In the NoAuth branch, trygetX509CertsByUrl() first (preserve existing behaviour).
On error, resolve X509ModuleConfig from the agentContext and return trustedCertificates if non-empty. These are the certificates added via X509ModuleConfig / addTrustedCertificate() (e.g. POST /x509/trusted).
If there are no fallback certificates, re-throw the original error so remote trust list failures still surface in environments that expect them.
Attestation-based auth (clientAuthentication === 'client_attestation') is unchanged.
Verification
npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.build.json passes.
Enables the mdoc e2e flow to trust on-the-fly issuer certificates without a live trust list.
Diff scoped to src/cliAgent.ts only.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved certificate verification for connections that do not require client authentication.
If the standard trust-list cannot be reached, verification can fall back to configured trusted certificates when available. In production, this fallback must be explicitly enabled.
When neither source is available, the original trust-list error is preserved and reported.
Corrected credential type matching in credential queries and ensured optional credential and presentation fields are only set when provided.
Other Improvements
Forwarded messages now retain the original message type.
The credo packages were resolved to 0.7.0, but patch-package patches
still targeted 0.6.2, causing yarn install to fail. Regenerate the
patches against the installed 0.7.0 build.

Walkthrough
For non-ClientAuth verification, a failed trust-list lookup can use configured agent trusted certificates according to environment settings. Credo patches update core credential handling, DIDComm forward messages, and OpenID4VC exports. Dependency version constraints also change.
The callback uses configured agent trusted certificates after a failed trust-list lookup when fallback is allowed. In production, ALLOW_TRUST_LIST_FALLBACK must be exactly true. If fallback is disallowed or no configured certificates are available, the callback rethrows the lookup error. ClientAuth behavior remains unchanged. The sample environment file documents the setting. The logger default changes to LogLevel.Error.

Summary
Core credential and document-loader patch patches/@credo-ts+core+0.6.2+002-fix-export-defaultDocumentLoader.patch, patches/@credo-ts+core+0.7.0+001+initial.patch
The core patch changes the LDP VC DCQL format filter, exports document-loader declarations, and conditionally assigns credential and presentation fields. It also widens VersionString to string. The previous core 0.6.2 patch file is deleted.
DIDComm forward-message type patches/@credo-ts+didcomm+0.7.0.patch
The patch passes the original message type into created forward messages and copies the optional messageType value onto the forward message.
The patch adds OpenId4VcIssuerRepository to the package declaration and runtime exports and imports it in the issuer entry point.

Summary
Dependency range updates package.json
Version constraints change for @opentelemetry/api, cors, ws, @types/express-serve-static-core, eslint-import-resolver-typescript, eslint-plugin-prettier, and ts-jest.
The build is likely to fail against the declared Credo 0.7 dependency until all lowercase LogLevel references are updated. The DIDComm patch also reveals inner message types to routing mediators. Separately, a hung trust-list server can still delay the new certificate fallback indefinitely because the lookup has no timeout. Resolve these issues before merging.

I agree, this auto configuration is required for automated testcases & even dev testing. One suggestion, can we make it configurable in such a way that it only works for dev/ testing not for agent configured for production env.
Allow fallback to agent trusted certificates only in non-production
environments. In production (NODE_ENV=PROD/PRODUCTION), fallback is
disabled unless explicitly enabled via ALLOW_TRUST_LIST_FALLBACK=true.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Keep VersionString consistent with the parser.
If a typed caller passes "dev" or "1.beta", parseVersionString now accepts the value at compile time and returns NaN components at runtime. Version comparisons then return incorrect results without an error. Keep the numeric version constraint, or validate strings before parsing them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not expose the inner message type in the forward envelope.
The added assignment places the original application @type on every routed forward message. Credo serializes this property through instanceToPlain, so mediators can read it before decrypting msg. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
This conflicts with the routing privacy goal that intermediaries should learn only the routing data, not the inner message type. (aries-rfcs.readthedocs.io)
Remove this field and its related declarations. If a mediator requires this metadata, define an explicit, privacy-reviewed extension instead.

Make production fallback visible at the default log level.
When production explicitly permits fallback and the trust-list lookup fails, this warn message is filtered by the new LogLevel.Error default. Operators then receive no fallback log unless they configure a lower log level. Log the production fallback at error, or otherwise emit an event visible at the default level.

@credo-ts/core is pinned to 0.7.0, whose LogLevel enum uses PascalCase members. src/utils/logger.ts still references lowercase members, and the same issue exists in src/authentication.ts, src/utils/oid4vc-agent.ts, and src/utils/agent.ts. Rename all references, including LogLevel.error to LogLevel.Error and LogLevel.off to LogLevel.Off.
