fix(reporter): upload to PasteBin via HttpClient with real timeouts

[soloturn]

AI-assisted change proposal. Filed by agent driven by @soloturn via GDD.

Summary

• PasteBin uploads now use one HttpClient form POST with 30s connect/read timeouts, so a hung upload aborts instead of outliving the dialog's failure and risking a duplicate paste on retry.
• Removes jpastebin, the JBoss repository entries and the Jackson workaround from fix(reporter): PasteBin upload - timeout, missing Jackson dep, silent failures #70; lockfiles regenerated.
• Generated issue text (generic body, form's "What actually happened" field, direct submit) now opens with a Generated by CrashReporter line.

Test plan

• PastebinUploadRunnableTest against a loopback server: form fields, API error text, and a never-answering server hitting the timeout.
• ./gradlew build passes.
• Run in the real game: PasteBin upload worked, and an example issue was filed through the dialog.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Crash report uploads now have a timeout, preventing the upload from waiting indefinitely when the service is slow or unreachable.
  • Upload failures now report the service’s error response, and successful uploads return the paste link.
• Maintenance
  • Removed unused upload-related dependencies and repository configuration.

Walkthrough

Pastebin uploads now use Apache HttpClient to send the API form with configured timeouts. The change removes jpastebin and its associated Jackson dependency declarations, adds loopback tests for successful submission, API errors, and timeouts, and updates the upload documentation.

Changes

Pastebin upload

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove jpastebin dependencies cr-core/build.gradle.kts, cr-core/gradle.lockfile, cr-destsol/build.gradle.kts, cr-destsol/gradle.lockfile, cr-terasology/build.gradle.kts, cr-terasology/gradle.lockfile	The build declarations remove the JBoss repository and jpastebin dependency. The lockfiles remove jpastebin and Jackson entries. The core lockfile also updates PMD auxiliary configurations and adds Byte Buddy 1.17.7 entries.
Send timed Pastebin requests cr-core/src/main/java/org/terasology/crashreporter/pages/PastebinUploadRunnable.java, cr-core/src/main/java/org/terasology/crashreporter/pages/UploadPanel.java, cr-core/src/test/java/org/terasology/crashreporter/pages/PastebinUploadRunnableTest.java	PastebinUploadRunnable sends a form POST with a 30-second default timeout and throws IOException for an unsuccessful status or response body. Tests cover form submission, API errors, and a delayed response. The upload documentation describes the waiting state.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9f394

Pastebin uploads now time out on stalled connections. However, a server that keeps sending data slowly may keep an upload running after the dialog reports failure. A user who retries could then create a duplicate paste. Separately, the new tests may fail on machines configured to prefer IPv6. The upload deadline should be tied to aborting the request before merge.

With timeouts set to guard the night
The server sent a link back fast
Or raised an error when it passed
The rabbit thumped: “Uploads now have bounds!”}

- Around line 55-58: Update the upload request flow in PastebinUploadRunnable so
cancellation from UploadPanel.awaitUpload aborts the active HTTP request, and
enforce a deadline across the entire upload rather than relying on socket
inactivity timeouts. Ensure the request stops when the full-upload deadline
expires.

PastebinUploadRunnableTest so the server binds explicitly to 127.0.0.1, or build
the URI host from the server’s bound address. Ensure the server and test
requests use the same address family.

Read the branch at 6607e6b and built it on Windows: ./gradlew build green, PastebinUploadRunnableTest 5/5 including the trickling-server deadline and the interrupt abort, 27/27 in CrashSummaryTest. The earlier Jenkins failure on PR-73 #2 was an Artifactory 503 during the Analytics stage, not the change; #3 passed.

Two observations, neither blocking:

• The watchdog polls every 50 ms for the whole upload. A single schedule(abort, deadline) plus the interrupt poll would do the same with less wakeup, but at a 30 s window it does not matter in practice.
• DISCLAIMER is package-private and sits between the private constants, which checkstyle's DeclarationOrder flags. Moving it below the private ones clears that.

Closes #71 as described.

Thanks for the build and review. Both addressed in 158c153:

• The overall deadline is now one scheduled abort. The interrupt check still polls (blocking socket I/O ignores interrupts), but at 250 ms instead of 50 ms.
• DISCLAIMER moved above the private statics. DeclarationOrder wants package-private before private, so above rather than below; checkstyleMain no longer flags it.

Tests pass.
