fix: respect entity and signing algorithm in sign endpoint

[operagxoksana]

Fixes two issues with the /sign endpoint in the local DID host: it was always using the agent identity, so /controller/sign produced JWTs signed by the agent, and the signing algorithm was passed to createJwt incorrectly, causing controller tokens to use the wrong algorithm. This change fixes both issues and adds regression tests to make sure agent and controller tokens are signed by the correct identity and contain the expected issuer.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Signing requests can now specify which supported identity should sign the token.
  • Tokens are issued with the selected identity’s DID and signing algorithm.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented requests from unintentionally using the default agent identity.
  • Added validation to reject unsupported signing identity selections.
  • Improved signing reliability so distinct identities produce distinct signatures.

Walkthrough

The local DID host now signs JWTs for the entity in the request path. Integration tests cover agent and controller signing, DID resolution, issuer verification, and distinct signatures. Vitest now supports TypeScript path aliases.

Changes

Local DID signing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Entity-specific signing handler examples/local-did-host/src/index.ts	The signing handler selects the requested entity’s signer, DID, and algorithm. JWT creation receives the algorithm separately from the other options.
Signing integration validation examples/local-did-host/src/index.test.ts, examples/local-did-host/vitest.config.ts, examples/local-did-host/package.json	Integration tests cover both identities, DID resolution, issuer validation, incorrect verification rejection, and different signatures. Vitest adds vite-tsconfig-paths version 6.1.1.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0629a

The change corrects entity selection and signing-algorithm handling for the sign endpoint and adds regression coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
