dashboard: clear deferred items — EventsHub publisher + doc refresh

EventsHub publisher (closes the v2.1 follow-up flagged in the previous commit)

EventStreamService now mirrors every MxEvent it forwards to a gRPC client
into the `EventsHub` group for the session. The fan-out goes through a new
singleton `IDashboardEventBroadcaster`:

  * IDashboardEventBroadcaster — abstraction so EventStreamService doesn't
    take a direct dependency on SignalR.
  * DashboardEventBroadcaster — singleton implementation that hands the
    SendAsync to IHubContext<EventsHub> as fire-and-forget. Errors are
    logged at debug and dropped so the source gRPC stream is never
    blocked.

EventStreamService now takes IDashboardEventBroadcaster as a ctor parameter
and calls Publish(sessionId, publicEvent) once per event after sequence
filtering, before the bounded queue write. Test fixtures and the live
integration harness pass NullDashboardEventBroadcaster.Instance so the
broadcaster is a no-op in unit tests.

SessionDetailsPage adds a "Recent events" panel:
  * implements IAsyncDisposable
  * opens a second HubConnection via DashboardHubConnectionFactory targeting
    /hubs/events
  * calls SubscribeSession(SessionId) on Start
  * renders the most recent 50 events in a small table (worker seq, family,
    server/item handle, alarm reference when the event is OnAlarmTransition)
  * shows a live/offline conn-pill driven by HubConnection.Closed /
    Reconnected events

The dashboard mirror is intentionally passive — events appear only while a
gRPC client is also consuming that session's events. Documented as such in
the empty-state copy and in GatewayDashboardDesign.md.

Documentation refresh

Every doc that referenced the retired options (PathBase, RequireAdminScope,
RequiredGroup) and the old API-key-cookie auth flow is updated to describe
the new model:

  * CLAUDE.md — Authentication section now explains LDAP bind +
    GroupToRole + HubToken bearer flow.
  * gateway.md — Dashboard section: root-mounted routes, snapshot/alarms/
    events SignalR hubs, LDAP cookie + bearer scheme.
  * docs/GatewayConfiguration.md — drop PathBase / RequireAdminScope rows,
    add GroupToRole row, append "Authorization policies" and "SignalR hubs"
    subsections describing the three policies and the /hubs/* endpoints.
  * docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md — hosting model (root mount, new
    endpoint layout), Realtime Updates rewritten as a hub table
    (DashboardSnapshotHub / AlarmsHub / EventsHub with producers, payloads,
    and routing), Authentication And Authorization rewritten around LDAP +
    role mapping + the hub bearer flow, Configuration block updated.
  * docs/GatewayProcessDesign.md — security-section dashboard paragraph
    and the example config block both refreshed to LDAP/role auth.
  * docs/ImplementationPlanGateway.md — dashboard-auth deliverable list
    updated (LDAP bind + GroupToRole + /hubs/token bearer mint replace the
    API-key login flow).
  * docs/GatewayTesting.md — DashboardLdapLiveTests blurb describes the
    GroupToRole fixture (`{ GwAdmin: Admin }`) instead of the retired
    RequiredGroup default; success-path assertion explains the role-claim
    check.

Verification: 475 server tests, 275 worker tests (+ 9 dev-rig skips), 18
integration tests (live MxAccess + LDAP + Galaxy) all pass — including the
live worker smoke test fixture that now constructs EventStreamService with
the new broadcaster parameter.

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:Enabled` | `true` | Enables Blazor Server dashboard route mapping. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:PathBase` | `/dashboard` | Base path for dashboard routes. When the dashboard is enabled, this value is required and must start with `/`. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:RequireAdminScope` | `true` | Requires API keys used for dashboard login to carry the `admin` scope. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:Enabled` | `true` | Enables Blazor Server dashboard route mapping. The dashboard mounts at the host root (`/`); there is no separate path-base prefix. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:AllowAnonymousLocalhost` | `true` | Allows loopback dashboard requests to bypass the dashboard cookie requirement for local development. Remote requests still require dashboard authentication. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:SnapshotIntervalMilliseconds` | `1000` | Dashboard snapshot refresh interval used by realtime Blazor pages. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:SnapshotIntervalMilliseconds` | `1000` | Dashboard snapshot refresh interval used by the snapshot SignalR hub and the pages that subscribe to it. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:RecentFaultLimit` | `100` | Maximum number of fault summaries projected into each dashboard snapshot. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:RecentSessionLimit` | `200` | Maximum number of session summaries projected into each dashboard snapshot. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:ShowTagValues` | `false` | Reserved display control for tag values. The dashboard does not show full tag values by default. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:GroupToRole` | _(empty)_ | LDAP group → dashboard role mapping. Keys are LDAP group names (short CN or full DN — leading-RDN match). Values must be `Admin` (read/write, API-key CRUD) or `Viewer` (read-only). A user whose LDAP groups don't intersect this map cannot sign in; with no mapping at all, only the loopback bypass admits anyone. |
`SnapshotIntervalMilliseconds` must be greater than zero. `RecentFaultLimit`
and `RecentSessionLimit` must be greater than or equal to zero.
`GroupToRole` values are validated at startup; invalid role names fail
validation. Emptiness is allowed (a closed deployment that admits no LDAP
users) but practical deployments populate at least one Admin group.
### Authorization policies
Three authorization policies are registered out of these options:
- `MxGateway.Dashboard.Viewer` — gates the Razor component routes. Satisfied by
either dashboard role (Admin or Viewer), by `AllowAnonymousLocalhost` on
loopback, or by `Authentication.Mode = Disabled`.
- `MxGateway.Dashboard.Admin` — gates write-capable surfaces (API-key CRUD).
Satisfied only by the Admin role (same environmental bypasses).
- `MxGateway.Dashboard.HubClients` — attached to the SignalR hubs. Accepts
either the dashboard cookie scheme or the `MxGateway.Dashboard.HubToken`
bearer scheme (used by SignalR's WebSocket upgrade path where the HttpOnly
cookie can't be forwarded).
### SignalR hubs
When the dashboard is enabled, three hubs are mapped under `/hubs/*`:
- `GET /hubs/snapshot` — pushes `DashboardSnapshot` whenever the snapshot
service produces a new one. Drives every page that inherits
`DashboardPageBase`; replaces the earlier polling loop.
- `GET /hubs/alarms` — re-broadcasts the `AlarmFeedMessage` stream from the
central alarm monitor to all connected clients (group `__alarms__`).
- `GET /hubs/events` — per-session MxEvent feed. Clients call
`SubscribeSession(sessionId)` to join `session:{id}`. Events are mirrored
from the corresponding gRPC `StreamEvents` call as a fire-and-forget
side-effect; the dashboard only sees events while a gRPC client is also
subscribed to that session.
`GET /hubs/token` (cookie-only) mints a 30-minute data-protected bearer
token for the calling user; the Blazor pages use it via
`DashboardHubConnectionFactory` to authenticate the SignalR connection.
