Phase 6.3 Stream B + Stream D (core) — ServiceLevelCalculator + RecoveryStateManager + ApplyLeaseRegistry

Lands the pure-logic heart of Phase 6.3. OPC UA node wiring (Stream C),
RedundancyCoordinator topology loader (Stream A), Admin UI + metrics (Stream E),
and client interop tests (Stream F) are follow-up work — tracked as
tasks #145-150.

New Server.Redundancy sub-namespace:

- ServiceLevelCalculator — pure 8-state matrix per decision #154. Inputs:
  role, selfHealthy, peerUa/HttpHealthy, applyInProgress, recoveryDwellMet,
  topologyValid, operatorMaintenance. Output: OPC UA Part 5 §6.3.34 Byte.
  Reserved bands (0=Maintenance, 1=NoData, 2=InvalidTopology) override
  everything; operational bands occupy 30..255.
  Key invariants:
    * Authoritative-Primary = 255, Authoritative-Backup = 100.
    * Isolated-Primary = 230 (retains authority with peer down).
    * Isolated-Backup = 80 (does NOT auto-promote — non-transparent model).
    * Primary-Mid-Apply = 200, Backup-Mid-Apply = 50; apply dominates
      peer-unreachable per Stream C.4 integration expectation.
    * Recovering-Primary = 180, Recovering-Backup = 30.
    * Standalone treats healthy as Authoritative-Primary (no peer concept).
- ServiceLevelBand enum — labels every numeric band for logs + Admin UI.
  Values match the calculator table exactly; compliance script asserts
  drift detection.
- RecoveryStateManager — holds Recovering band until (dwell ≥ 60s default)
  AND (one publish witness observed). Re-fault resets both gates so a
  flapping node doesn't shortcut through recovery twice.
- ApplyLeaseRegistry — keyed on (ConfigGenerationId, PublishRequestId) per
  decision #162. BeginApplyLease returns an IAsyncDisposable so every exit
  path (success, exception, cancellation, dispose-twice) closes the lease.
  ApplyMaxDuration watchdog (10 min default) via PruneStale tick forces
  close after a crashed publisher so ServiceLevel can't stick at mid-apply.

Tests (40 new, all pass):
- ServiceLevelCalculatorTests (27): reserved bands override; self-unhealthy
  → NoData; invalid topology demotes both nodes to 2; authoritative primary
  255; backup 100; isolated primary 230 retains authority; isolated backup
  80 does not promote; http-only unreachable triggers isolated; mid-apply
  primary 200; mid-apply backup 50; apply dominates peer-unreachable; recovering
  primary 180; recovering backup 30; standalone treats healthy as 255;
  classify round-trips every band including Unknown sentinel.
- RecoveryStateManagerTests (6): never-faulted auto-meets dwell; faulted-only
  returns true (semantics-doc test — coordinator short-circuits on
  selfHealthy=false); recovered without witness never meets; witness without
  dwell never meets; witness + dwell-elapsed meets; re-fault resets.
- ApplyLeaseRegistryTests (7): empty registry not-in-progress; begin+dispose
  closes; dispose on exception still closes; dispose twice safe; concurrent
  leases isolated; watchdog closes stale; watchdog leaves recent alone.

Full solution dotnet test: 1137 passing (Phase 6.2 shipped at 1097, Phase 6.3
B + D core = +40 = 1137). Pre-existing Client.CLI Subscribe flake unchanged.

 # Phase 6.2 — Authorization Runtime (ACL + LDAP grants)
 
-> **Status**: DRAFT — the v2 `plan.md` decision #129 + `acl-design.md` specify a 6-level permission-trie evaluator with `NodePermissions` bitmask grants, but no runtime evaluator exists. ACL tables are schematized but unread by the data path.

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Phase 6.2 exit-gate compliance check — stub. Each `Assert-*` either passes
-    (Write-Host green) or throws. Non-zero exit = fail.
+    Phase 6.2 exit-gate compliance check. Each check either passes or records a
+    failure; non-zero exit = fail.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     Validates Phase 6.2 (Authorization runtime) completion. Checks enumerated
     in `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-2-authorization-runtime.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 6.2 is responsible for replacing its TODO
-    with a real check before closing that task.
-
 .NOTES
     Usage:  pwsh ./scripts/compliance/phase-6-2-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
