Resolve Server-002, -004, -005, -006 code-review findings

Server-002: the gateway never terminated leftover MxGateway.Worker.exe
processes at startup, contradicting gateway.md and CLAUDE.md. Added
IRunningProcessInspector/SystemRunningProcessInspector, OrphanWorkerTerminator,
and OrphanWorkerCleanupHostedService (best-effort, runs before sessions are
accepted); updated gateway.md to describe the implemented behavior.

Server-004: API-key scopes were persisted verbatim with no validation. Added
GatewayScopes.All/IsKnown; the CLI parser and dashboard create path now
reject unknown scope strings.

Server-005: a non-SqlException/InvalidOperationException fault on the initial
Galaxy hierarchy load faulted the BackgroundService. ExecuteAsync now catches
all non-cancellation exceptions on first load and RefreshCoreAsync broadens
its catch so the cache records Stale/Unavailable instead.

Server-006: OpenSessionAsync incremented the open-sessions gauge before
alarm auto-subscribe; an auto-subscribe failure leaked the gauge. The catch
path now calls SessionRemoved() when the gauge was incremented.

**Description:** `gateway.md:583` and CLAUDE.md state the first version "terminates orphaned workers on startup." No code in MxGateway.Server enumerates or kills leftover `MxGateway.Worker.exe` processes at startup — a grep for `orphan`/`reattach`/`terminate` finds nothing. After an unclean gateway crash, x86 worker processes (each holding an MXAccess COM instance) leak and survive indefinitely, and a restarted gateway does not reclaim or kill them.
**Recommendation:** Add a startup hosted service that finds and kills stale worker processes (by executable path / a well-known argument or environment marker) before the server accepts sessions, or update the design docs if reattachment/cleanup is deliberately deferred.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-18. Confirmed against source: no code path enumerated or killed leftover workers. Added `IRunningProcessInspector` / `SystemRunningProcessInspector` (a testable seam over `Process.GetProcessesByName`/`Kill`), `OrphanWorkerTerminator` (kills processes matched by the configured worker executable path, or by image name when the x64 gateway cannot introspect the x86 worker's `MainModule`, skipping the current process and tolerating per-process kill failures), and `OrphanWorkerCleanupHostedService` (best-effort `IHostedService`). The hosted service is registered in `AddWorkerProcessLauncher` ahead of `AddGatewaySessions` so cleanup runs before the server accepts sessions. `gateway.md` updated to describe the implemented behavior. Regression tests: `OrphanWorkerTerminatorTests` (`KillsWorkerProcessesMatchingConfiguredExecutablePath`, `KillsImageNameMatchWhenExecutablePathUnreadable`, `DoesNotKillUnrelatedProcessSharingImageName`, `DoesNotKillCurrentProcess`, `ContinuesWhenOneKillThrows`).

**Description:** `ParseScopes` accepts any comma-separated strings and `CreateKeyAsync` persists them verbatim; neither the CLI nor the dashboard create path validates scopes against `GatewayScopes`. A typo or non-canonical name (e.g. CLAUDE.md's example `--scopes session,invoke,event,metadata,admin`, which does not match the resolver's `session:open`/`invoke:read`/etc.) silently creates a key whose scope strings the authorization resolver never checks for — the key is unusable for those RPCs with no error at creation time.
**Recommendation:** Validate every requested scope against the `GatewayScopes` catalog at create time in both the CLI parser/runner and `DashboardApiKeyManagementService.ValidateCreateRequest`, rejecting unknown scope strings.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-18. Confirmed against source: `ParseScopes` split unvalidated strings into the create command and `ValidateCreateRequest` checked only key id and display name. Added `GatewayScopes.All` (the canonical scope catalog) and `GatewayScopes.IsKnown(string)`. `ApiKeyAdminCommandLineParser.Parse` now runs `ValidateScopes` for create-key commands and fails the parse listing the unknown scope(s) and valid set; `DashboardApiKeyManagementService.ValidateCreateRequest` rejects requests carrying any non-canonical scope. Revoke/rotate paths are unaffected (no scope input). Regression tests: `ApiKeyAdminCommandLineParserTests.Parse_CreateKeyCommand_RejectsUnknownScope`, `Parse_CreateKeyCommand_AcceptsAllCanonicalScopes`, and `DashboardApiKeyManagementServiceTests.CreateAsync_UnknownScope_DoesNotCallStore`.

**Description:** `GalaxyHierarchyCache.RefreshCoreAsync` only catches `SqlException` and `InvalidOperationException`. The initial `cache.RefreshAsync` call in `GalaxyHierarchyRefreshService.ExecuteAsync` is wrapped only for `OperationCanceledException`. A transient non-`SqlException` failure on the first refresh (e.g. a `Win32Exception`/`TimeoutException` from connection establishment, or another `DbException` subtype) escapes both layers, faults the `BackgroundService`, and — with default host behavior — stops the whole gateway. The periodic-tick loop does catch general exceptions, so only the first load is exposed.
**Recommendation:** Broaden the `catch` in `RefreshCoreAsync` to all non-cancellation exceptions (record `Unavailable`/`Stale` and still complete `_firstLoad`), or wrap the initial `RefreshAsync` in `GalaxyHierarchyRefreshService` with the same general `catch` the tick loop uses.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-18. Confirmed against source: the initial `RefreshAsync` in `ExecuteAsync` was guarded only for `OperationCanceledException`, and `RefreshCoreAsync` filtered its catch to `SqlException or InvalidOperationException`. Both recommended layers applied: `GalaxyHierarchyRefreshService.ExecuteAsync` now catches every non-cancellation exception on the initial load (logs a warning; the periodic tick retries), and `GalaxyHierarchyCache.RefreshCoreAsync` broadens its catch to all non-cancellation exceptions so the cache still records `Stale`/`Unavailable` and completes `_firstLoad`. The now-unused `Microsoft.Data.SqlClient` using was removed. Regression test: `GalaxyHierarchyRefreshServiceTests.ExecuteAsync_WhenFirstRefreshThrowsNonCancellationException_DoesNotFaultBackgroundService`.

**Description:** In `OpenSessionAsync`, `_metrics.SessionOpened()` (line 89) increments the `_openSessions` gauge before `TryAutoSubscribeAlarmsAsync` runs. If auto-subscribe throws (which it does when `Alarms.RequireSubscribeOnOpen` is true and the worker rejects the subscription), the `catch` block disposes and removes the session and records `_metrics.Fault(...)` but never calls `SessionClosed`/`SessionRemoved`. The `mxgateway.sessions.open` gauge permanently over-counts by one for every such failed open.
**Recommendation:** In the `catch` block, when the session had reached the point where `SessionOpened()` was recorded, also call `_metrics.SessionRemoved()` — or move the `SessionOpened()` call to after auto-subscribe succeeds.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-18. Confirmed against source: the `catch` block in `OpenSessionAsync` recorded `Fault(...)` and removed the session but never decremented the open-session gauge after `SessionOpened()` had run. Added a `sessionOpenedRecorded` flag set immediately after `_metrics.SessionOpened()`; the `catch` block now calls `_metrics.SessionRemoved()` when that flag is set, restoring the gauge for a post-`SessionOpened()` failure (e.g. an auto-subscribe rejection with `RequireSubscribeOnOpen=true`). Regression test: `SessionManagerAlarmAutoSubscribeTests.OpenSessionAsync_DoesNotLeakOpenSessionGauge_WhenAutoSubscribeFailsWithRequireOn`.
