Resolve Client.Dotnet-004..008 code-review findings

Client.Dotnet-004: documented DefaultCallTimeout as both the per-attempt
deadline and the shared retry budget, and removed DeadlineExceeded from the
transient-retry set (a client-imposed deadline cannot be helped by retrying).

Client.Dotnet-005: RegisterAsync/AddItemAsync/AddItem2Async silently returned
0 when a successful reply lacked the typed payload. They now throw a
descriptive MxGatewayException.

Client.Dotnet-006: added XML docs to the previously undocumented public
members MaxGrpcMessageBytes, GatewayProtocolVersion, WorkerProtocolVersion.

Client.Dotnet-007: corrected the AcknowledgeAlarmAsync XML comment — the RPC
requires the admin scope, not a non-existent invoke:alarm-ack sub-scope.

Client.Dotnet-008: the CLI redactor missed env-var-sourced keys because the
caller passed only the --api-key option. Redaction now uses the same
resolver, stripping env-var keys too.

**Description:** `ExecuteSafeUnaryAsync` wraps the whole Polly retry pipeline in a single linked CTS cancelled after `Options.DefaultCallTimeout`, while `CreateCallOptions` also stamps each individual call with a `DefaultCallTimeout` gRPC deadline. The retry pipeline therefore shares one `DefaultCallTimeout` budget across the initial attempt plus all retries plus backoff delays. The README/XML docs describe `DefaultCallTimeout` as a per-call timeout, which misrepresents this. `DeadlineExceeded` is also classified as transient, so an attempt that exhausts the shared budget is retried only to immediately fail again.
**Recommendation:** Decide whether `DefaultCallTimeout` is per-attempt or per-operation and make code and docs consistent — e.g. a separate per-attempt deadline and a distinct overall-operation timeout. Reconsider retrying on `DeadlineExceeded` when the deadline was client-imposed.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** (2026-05-18) Confirmed against source: the shared linked-CTS budget plus per-call deadline both use `DefaultCallTimeout`, and `IsTransientStatus` listed `DeadlineExceeded`. Resolved as a per-operation budget (the simpler, non-breaking choice): the `DefaultCallTimeout` XML doc in `MxGatewayClientOptions.cs` now states it is both the per-attempt gRPC deadline and the overall budget shared across the initial attempt, every retry, and the backoff delays — an upper bound on total wall-clock time, not a fresh per-retry allowance. Removed `DeadlineExceeded` from `MxGatewayClientRetryPolicy.IsTransientStatus`: every unary deadline is client-imposed (`CreateCallOptions` stamps the shared budget), so a `DeadlineExceeded` means the budget is exhausted and an immediate retry can only fail again. Regression test `MxGatewayClientSessionTests.InvokeAsync_DoesNotRetrySafeDiagnosticCommand_OnDeadlineExceeded` asserts the safe diagnostic command (`Ping`) is attempted exactly once and the failure surfaces; verified red against the original transient set (the call retried and succeeded).

**Description:** `RegisterAsync`/`AddItemAsync`/`AddItem2Async` return `reply.<Typed>?.ServerHandle ?? reply.ReturnValue.Int32Value`. After `EnsureMxAccessSuccess()` passes, a missing typed payload silently falls back to `ReturnValue.Int32Value`, which for a reply carrying no return value is `0`. A caller then uses `0` as a `ServerHandle`/`ItemHandle`, producing a confusing downstream invalid-handle failure rather than a clear "gateway reply missing payload" error.
**Recommendation:** If the typed sub-message is the contract for these commands, treat its absence on an otherwise-successful reply as an error (throw a descriptive `MxGatewayException`) rather than falling through to `ReturnValue.Int32Value`.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** (2026-05-18) Confirmed against source and `mxaccess_gateway.proto`: `register`/`add_item`/`add_item2` are members of the `MxCommandReply.payload` oneof, so the typed accessor is `null` whenever the worker did not set that case — and the fallback returned `ReturnValue.Int32Value` (0 for a reply with no return value). The typed sub-message is the contract for these handle-returning commands, so its absence on an otherwise-successful reply is now an error: `RegisterAsync`/`AddItemAsync`/`AddItem2Async` throw via a new private `MxGatewaySession.CreateMissingPayloadException` helper that builds a descriptive `MxGatewayException` naming the missing payload, kind, session, and correlation id. Regression tests `MxGatewayClientSessionTests.RegisterAsync_Throws_WhenSuccessfulReplyMissingPayload` and `AddItemAsync_Throws_WhenSuccessfulReplyMissingPayload` enqueue an `Ok` reply with no typed payload and assert the descriptive throw; verified red against the original fallback (returned `0` instead of throwing).

**Description:** `MxGatewayClientOptions.MaxGrpcMessageBytes` and the two `const`s in `MxGatewayClientContractInfo` are public members with no XML doc comments, inconsistent with every other public member in the assembly and with the repo's documented C# style emphasis on a documented public surface.
**Recommendation:** Add `<summary>` doc comments to `MaxGrpcMessageBytes`, `GatewayProtocolVersion`, and `WorkerProtocolVersion`.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** (2026-05-18) Confirmed: all three public members lacked XML docs while every other public member in the assembly is documented. Added `<summary>` comments to `MxGatewayClientOptions.MaxGrpcMessageBytes` (describing the 16 MiB default applied to both send and receive limits), and to `MxGatewayClientContractInfo.GatewayProtocolVersion` and `WorkerProtocolVersion` (describing their wire-compatibility / diagnostics purpose). Pure documentation change — no test needed; build remains warning-clean.

**Description:** The `AcknowledgeAlarmAsync` XML comment states the gateway authenticates against an `invoke:alarm-ack` scope, but `CLAUDE.md` documents the scope set without any `invoke:alarm-ack` sub-scope. The comment may describe an intended finer-grained scope that does not exist, misleading integrators about what API key they need.
**Recommendation:** Reconcile the comment with the actual server-side scope check, or update the scope documentation if sub-scopes were genuinely added; keep client doc and gateway auth model in sync.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** (2026-05-18) Confirmed against the server-side authorization model: `GatewayGrpcScopeResolver.ResolveRequiredScope` has no arm for `AcknowledgeAlarmRequest`, so it falls to the `_ => GatewayScopes.Admin` default — the RPC actually requires the `admin` scope. No `invoke:alarm-ack` sub-scope exists anywhere in `GatewayScopes`. The client XML comment on `AcknowledgeAlarmAsync` was wrong, not the docs. Corrected the comment to state the gateway authorizes `AcknowledgeAlarmRequest` against the API key's `admin` scope and that there is no finer-grained alarm-ack sub-scope. Pure documentation change — no test needed.

**Description:** The CLI redactor only removes the API key string when it was supplied via `--api-key`; `RunCoreAsync` passes `arguments.GetOptional("api-key")` to `Redact`. When the key comes from an environment variable (`--api-key-env`, the documented default path), `apiKey` is `null` and no redaction occurs. If a gRPC/transport error message ever echoes the bearer token, it would be printed unredacted.
**Recommendation:** Resolve the effective API key (same logic as `ResolveApiKey`) before redacting, so the env-var-sourced key is also stripped from error output.
**Resolution:** _(open)_
**Resolution:** (2026-05-18) Confirmed against source: `MxGatewayClientCli.RunCoreAsync`'s catch block redacted only `arguments.GetOptional("api-key")`, so an env-var-sourced key (`--api-key-env`, default `MXGATEWAY_API_KEY`) was never stripped. Note `MxGatewayCliSecretRedactor` itself is correct — the defect was the caller passing the wrong value. Extracted a non-throwing `TryResolveApiKey` helper (used by both the existing `ResolveApiKey` and the catch block) that resolves `--api-key` then the `--api-key-env` environment variable; the catch block now redacts that effective key. Updated `clients/dotnet/README.md` (`smoke` paragraph) to state the CLI redacts the effective key whether from `--api-key` or `--api-key-env`. Regression test `MxGatewayClientCliTests.RunAsync_ErrorOutput_RedactsApiKey_WhenSourcedFromEnvironmentVariable` sets a test env var, forces a transport error echoing the key, and asserts the key is absent and `[redacted]` is present; verified red against the original `GetOptional("api-key")`-only redaction (key printed unredacted).
