Summary

This PR adds support for the externalMethods option to control which service methods are exposed via transports (HTTP/WebSockets), addressing #3457.

Changes

@feathersjs/feathers

• Added externalMethods to ServiceOptions interface
• Added getExternalMethods() helper function
• Updated normalizeServiceOptions() to include externalMethods (defaults to methods for backwards compatibility)

@feathersjs/transport-commons

• Updated socket/utils.ts to use externalMethods for method validation
• Updated socket/index.ts to use externalMethods for handler registration

Usage

app.use('myService', new MyService(), {
  // Methods that receive 'all' hooks
  methods: ['find', 'get', 'create', 'internalAction'],
  // Methods exposed via transports (defaults to methods if not specified)
  externalMethods: ['find', 'get', 'create']
})

Backwards Compatibility

• If externalMethods is not specified, it defaults to methods
• Existing code works without modification
