Phase 6.2 Stream B — permission-trie evaluator in Core.Authorization

Ships Stream B.1-B.6 — the data-plane authorization engine Phase 6.2 runs on.
Integration into OPC UA dispatch (Stream C — Read / Write / HistoryRead /
Subscribe / Browse / Call etc.) is the next PR on this branch.

New Core.Abstractions:
- OpcUaOperation enum enumerates every OPC UA surface the evaluator gates:
  Browse, Read, WriteOperate/Tune/Configure (split by SecurityClassification),
  HistoryRead, HistoryUpdate, CreateMonitoredItems, TransferSubscriptions,
  Call, AlarmAcknowledge/Confirm/Shelve. Stream C maps each one back to its
  dispatch call site.

New Core.Authorization namespace:
- NodeScope record + NodeHierarchyKind — 6-level scope addressing for
  Equipment-kind (UNS) namespaces, folder-segment walk for SystemPlatform-kind
  (Galaxy). NodeScope carries a Kind selector so the evaluator knows which
  hierarchy to descend.
- AuthorizationDecision { Verdict, Provenance } + AuthorizationVerdict
  {Allow, NotGranted, Denied} + MatchedGrant. Tri-state per decision #149;
  Phase 6.2 only produces Allow + NotGranted, Denied stays reserved for v2.1
  Explicit Deny without API break.
- IPermissionEvaluator.Authorize(session, operation, scope).
- PermissionTrie + PermissionTrieNode + TrieGrant. In-memory trie keyed on
  the ACL scope hierarchy. CollectMatches walks Cluster → Namespace →
  UnsArea → UnsLine → Equipment → Tag (or → FolderSegment(s) → Tag on
  Galaxy). Pure additive union — matches that share an LDAP group with the
  session contribute flags; OR across levels.
- PermissionTrieBuilder static factory. Build(clusterId, generationId, rows,
  scopePaths?) returns a trie for one generation. Cross-cluster rows are
  filtered out so the trie is cluster-coherent. Stream C follow-up wires a
  real scopePaths lookup from the live DB; tests supply hand-built paths.
- PermissionTrieCache — process-singleton, keyed on (ClusterId, GenerationId).
  Install(trie) adds a generation + promotes to "current" when the id is
  highest-known (handles out-of-order installs gracefully). Prior generations
  retained so an in-flight request against a prior trie still succeeds; GC
  via Prune(cluster, keepLatest).
- UserAuthorizationState — per-session cache of resolved LDAP groups +
  AuthGenerationId + MembershipVersion + MembershipResolvedUtc. Bounded by
  MembershipFreshnessInterval (default 15 min per decision #151) +
  AuthCacheMaxStaleness (default 5 min per decision #152).
- TriePermissionEvaluator — default IPermissionEvaluator. Fails closed on
  stale sessions (IsStale check short-circuits to NotGranted), on cross-
  cluster requests, on empty trie cache. Maps OpcUaOperation → NodePermissions
  via MapOperationToPermission (total — every enum value has a mapping; tested).

Tests (27 new, all pass):
- PermissionTrieTests (7): cluster-level grant cascades to every tag;
  equipment-level grant doesn't leak to sibling equipment; multi-group union
  ORs flags; no-matching-group returns empty; Galaxy folder-segment grant
  doesn't leak to sibling folder; cross-cluster rows don't land in this
  cluster's trie; build is idempotent (B.6 invariants).
- TriePermissionEvaluatorTests (8): allow when flag matches; NotGranted when
  no matching group; NotGranted when flags insufficient; HistoryRead requires
  its own bit (decision-level requirement); cross-cluster session denied;
  stale session fails closed; no cached trie denied; MapOperationToPermission
  is total across every OpcUaOperation.
- PermissionTrieCacheTests (8): empty cache returns null; install-then-get
  round-trips; new generation becomes current; out-of-order install doesn't
  downgrade current; invalidate drops one cluster; prune retains most recent;
  prune no-op when fewer than keep; cluster isolation.
- UserAuthorizationStateTests (4): fresh is not stale; IsStale after 5 min
  default; NeedsRefresh true between freshness + staleness windows.

Full solution dotnet test: 1078 passing (baseline 906, Phase 6.1 = 1042,
Phase 6.2 Stream A = +9, Stream B = +27 = 1078). Pre-existing Client.CLI
Subscribe flake unchanged.

 # Phase 6.1 — Resilience & Observability Runtime
 
-> **Status**: DRAFT — implementation plan for a cross-cutting phase that was never formalised. The v2 `plan.md` specifies Polly, Tier A/B/C protections, structured logging, and local-cache fallback by decision; none are wired end-to-end.

Final exit-gate PR #83 turns the compliance script into real checks (all pass) and records this status update. One deferred piece: Stream E.2/E.3 SignalR hub + Blazor `/hosts` column refresh lands in a visual-compliance follow-up PR on the Phase 6.4 Admin UI branch.

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Phase 6.1 exit-gate compliance check — stub. Each `Assert-*` either passes
-    (Write-Host green) or throws. Non-zero exit = fail.
+    Phase 6.1 exit-gate compliance check. Each check either passes or records a
+    failure; non-zero exit = fail.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     Validates Phase 6.1 (Resilience & Observability runtime) completion. Checks
     enumerated in `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-1-resilience-and-observability.md`
     §"Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)".
 
-    Current status: SCAFFOLD. Every check writes a TODO line and does NOT throw.
-    Each implementation task in Phase 6.1 is responsible for replacing its TODO
-    with a real check before closing that task.
+    Runs a mix of file-presence checks, text-pattern sweeps over the committed
+    codebase, and a full `dotnet test` pass to exercise the invariants each
+    class encodes. Meant to be invoked from repo root.
 
 .NOTES
     Usage:  pwsh ./scripts/compliance/phase-6-1-compliance.ps1
-    Exit:   0 = all checks passed (or are still TODO); non-zero = explicit fail
+    Exit:   0 = all checks passed; non-zero = one or more FAILs
