The @shieldx/core dependency was referenced at an invalid file path and is
not actually used in the codebase (import is commented as TODO). Removing
this dependency resolves npm installation failures on deployment.
The learning process was failing to communicate with the gateway because:
1. Gateway was sending 'Strict-Transport-Security' header on HTTP responses
2. Node.js fetch respects HSTS and upgrades subsequent requests to HTTPS
3. Gateway only has HTTP listener (localhost:3103), no HTTPS
4. Result: SSL 'packet length too long' error on second request attempt
Solution: Modified registerHSTSMiddleware to only send HSTS header when
the connection is already secure (HTTPS or x-forwarded-proto: https).
HTTP connections will not get the HSTS header, preventing the forced upgrade.
