Server-002 — AuthorizationGate lax-mode no longer overrides explicit deny.
IsAllowed now switches on the evaluator's AuthorizationVerdict: Allow -> true,
Denied (an authored deny rule matched) -> false in BOTH strict and lax mode,
and only the indeterminate NotGranted case falls through to !_strictMode.
Previously `if (decision.IsAllowed) return true; return !_strictMode;` let lax
mode (the default) nullify authored NodeAcl deny rules for fully-resolved
sessions. The tri-state AuthorizationVerdict.Denied member is now honoured.
Server-009 — LDAP is secure-by-default. LdapOptions.AllowInsecureLdap now
defaults to false (was true) and Program.cs's config fallback reads `?? false`
(was `?? true`), so an LDAP-enabled deployment will not bind credentials over
an unencrypted socket unless an operator explicitly opts in. Program.cs also
logs a startup warning when LDAP is enabled with UseTls=false and
AllowInsecureLdap=true, flagging the clear-text server->LDAP credential hop.
Regression tests: AuthorizationGateTests covers all four verdict x mode
combinations via a fixed-verdict evaluator stub; new LdapOptionsTests asserts
the secure defaults. Both Server and Server.Tests build clean; the 15 targeted
tests pass.
