feat(lab): add softphone endpoint so device registration can be tested
Asterisk is the registrar for devices, not Hold Slayer. A softphone REGISTERs to the lab and the gateway transfers a live call to it by dialling extension 2001. This is deliberate: Hold Slayer's own SIP listener answers 200 OK to any REGISTER with no digest challenge, so anything on the network could register as a device and receive transferred calls. Keeping registration in Asterisk means the lab does not exercise or depend on that path, and the device is authenticated. The pjsua CLI built alongside the Python bindings is the test device — same library stack as the gateway, so no new dependency. Verified end to end: a gateway call to 2001 produces two channels Up under one bridge id. Three things that cost time and are now written down: - `--realm=asterisk`, not `--realm='*'`: the wildcard fails against Asterisk's digest challenge with PJSIP_EFAILEDCREDENTIAL. - pjsua is an interactive console app and exits ~8s after start if stdin is closed or /dev/null. `script -qfc` and `setsid </dev/null` both appear to work — registration succeeds — and then the process dies, leaving a stale contact in Asterisk that routes INVITEs to a port nobody is listening on. Hold a fifo open on stdin instead, and verify the port is actually bound rather than trusting `pjsip show contacts`. - Qualify is off for this AOR: the pjsua console does not answer OPTIONS, so polling marks a working softphone Unavail and the dialplan refuses to ring it. The 2001 guard therefore tests PJSIP_AOR(softphone,contact) rather than DEVICE_STATE. A real hardphone answers OPTIONS and can have it re-enabled. The identify block now matches source address *and port*. A host-only match claims every packet from that address, so a co-located softphone's REGISTER was attributed to the gateway endpoint and checked against the gateway's password — surfacing as "Failed to authenticate" on a correct password.

## The softphone (transfer target)
|
||||
|
||||
**Asterisk is the registrar for devices, not Hold Slayer.** The gateway reaches
|
||||
a desk phone by dialling extension `2001`, which Asterisk routes to whatever
|
||||
has registered as `softphone`. This deliberately avoids Hold Slayer's own SIP
|
||||
listener, which answers `200 OK` to any REGISTER with no digest challenge.
|
||||
|
||||
The `pjsua` CLI built alongside the Python bindings is the test device — same
|
||||
library stack as the gateway, no extra dependency. It needs an RPATH patch like
|
||||
the bindings did:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp ~/src/pjproject/pjsip-apps/bin/pjsua-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ~/.local/bin/pjsua
|
||||
patchelf --set-rpath $HOME/.local/lib ~/.local/bin/pjsua
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Register it (config file avoids shell-quoting pain):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat > softphone.cfg <<'EOF'
|
||||
--null-audio
|
||||
--auto-answer=200
|
||||
--max-calls=4
|
||||
--local-port=21070
|
||||
--id=sip:softphone@127.0.0.1
|
||||
--registrar=sip:127.0.0.1:21061
|
||||
--realm=asterisk
|
||||
--username=softphone
|
||||
--password=labphone
|
||||
--log-level=3
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
|
||||
# pjsua is an interactive console app: it exits ~8s after start if stdin is
|
||||
# closed or /dev/null. Hold a fifo open on stdin — `script -qfc` and
|
||||
# `setsid </dev/null` both look like they work (registration succeeds) and
|
||||
# then the process dies, leaving a stale contact in Asterisk that routes
|
||||
# INVITEs to a port nobody is listening on.
|
||||
mkfifo sp.fifo
|
||||
setsid sh -c 'exec 3<>sp.fifo; pjsua --config-file softphone.cfg <&3 >softphone.log 2>&1' &
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify — **check the port is actually bound**, not just that Asterisk holds a
|
||||
contact, since a stale registration outlives the process:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ss -lnup | grep 21070 # must be listening
|
||||
docker compose -f docker-compose.lab.yml exec asterisk \
|
||||
asterisk -rx "pjsip show contacts" # must show softphone
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then place a call to `2001`. Both legs should show `Up` under one bridge id:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose -f docker-compose.lab.yml exec asterisk \
|
||||
asterisk -rx "core show channels concise"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **`--realm=asterisk`, not `--realm='*'`** — the wildcard fails with
|
||||
> `PJSIP_EFAILEDCREDENTIAL` against Asterisk's digest challenge.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Qualify is off** for this AOR (`qualify_frequency = 0`): the pjsua console
|
||||
