Joseph Doherty dc2df628e3 chore(followups): reviewer-recommended tests, comments, and hardening from the remediation reviews
The remediation reviews approved every task but left a tail of small notes.
This lands the gateway-side half of them.

Hardening (behavior changes, all narrow):

- BuildFilteredWriteBulkCommand's unreachable default case failed OPEN: a
  fifth bulk-write kind added upstream without a filter case here would have
  shipped the DENIED entries to the worker while reporting them denied to the
  caller. It now throws UnreachableException.
- SqliteCanonicalAuditStore.ListRecentAsync no longer throws on a row it
  cannot date. The retention sweep deliberately preserves such rows (SQLite's
  datetime() yields NULL, so the DELETE never matches), which guaranteed the
  dashboard's recent-audit view would meet one eventually and lose the whole
  page to it. The row is now reported at DateTimeOffset.MinValue with every
  other column intact, behind an optional logger.
- The audit drain loop's finally now completes the channel writer alongside
  detaching the drain, so a producer that raced past the attached check takes
  the write-through branch instead of stranding its event in a buffer nobody
  reads until shutdown. TryComplete is idempotent, so StopAsync is unaffected.

Tests:

- MapCommandReply ownership (Assert.Same on the inner reply), mirroring the
  existing MapEvent ownership test.
- Redactor key-id length boundary at exactly 64 and 65 characters, pinning
  which way it fails. Nothing validates key-id length at creation, so
  docs/Diagnostics.md's "which no issued key id does" is now stated as the
  heuristic it is.
- ApiKeyFailureLimiter.Reset with a PartitionResolution whose partition was
  evicted between the Check and the Reset: inert, and clears nobody else's
  block.
- Constraint-cache concurrency stress: the cap is enforced by the inserting
  thread, so overshoot must be transient and proportional to the in-flight
  inserters, and the cache must settle at or under the cap.
- ListRecentAsync against a raw-SQL undateable row.

Comment/doc accuracy:

- EventsHubViewerRegistry.ReleaseConnection records that it relies on
  SignalR's default sequential per-connection dispatch
  (MaximumParallelInvocationsPerClient = 1).
- A PERF(followup) note on Invoke's double session resolve and why removing it
  needs a SessionManager overload.
- SessionEventDistributor: the volatile-field comment named the pump as the
  lock-free reader, but the pump's single capture point is inside _replayLock;
  the genuinely lock-free reader is SubscriberCount. OnSubscriberOverflow's
  "cannot be observed here" now excepts the DisposeAsync abandon path. The
  churn test names its ConcurrentDictionary bucket-order assumption and that a
  violation surfaces as a read timeout, not a silent pass.
- The two "restores the sequential drain's behavior" claims (SessionManager,
  docs/Sessions.md) were wrong: the sequential drain leaked too, because
  KillWorkerAsync's entry ThrowIfCancellationRequested aborted the whole loop
  on the first session for zero kills. Reworded to "fixes a leak the
  sequential drain also had", with the sweep-bound/shutdown-unbound
  ParallelOptions asymmetry explained.
- ISessionManager.ShutdownAsync's token doc: it degrades the drain to a kill
  sweep rather than cancelling it, with the bounded overrun stated.
  SessionShutdownHostedService.StopAsync records that its cancellation-logging
  branch is now unreachable.

Joseph Doherty 5b681ee59b fix(SEC-31,SEC-32): identify a probe-slot reservation by version, not by timestamp
ReleaseProbe recognised its own reservation by comparing NextProbeAtTicks to
now + _probeIntervalTicks. RecordInto's rearm-on-trip writes that identical
expression, so a concurrent RecordFailure on the same WindowState whose `now`
lands on the claimer's tick — routine at ~1 ms clock resolution under load — was
mistaken for the caller's own claim. The release then stomped the legitimate
fresh re-arm back to the stale previousProbeAtTicks, which is already due, handing
the next arrival a free probe the re-arm had just closed.

WindowState gains a monotonic ProbeVersion bumped by every writer of
NextProbeAtTicks (TryConsumeProbe's claim and RecordInto's re-arm alike).
TryConsumeProbe returns the stamp it set as part of a ProbeClaim; ReleaseProbe
restores the previous value only while the state's version still equals that
stamp, checking and restoring in one lock(state) section and bumping the version
again on restore so no other stale release can match either.

Test: ProbeSlotRestore_DoesNotStompConcurrentRearmAtSameTick, with the clock held
still so the claim and the interleaved failure necessarily share a tick. Making it
deterministic needed a seam — the claim-to-release window is a few nanoseconds and
racing threads do not hit it (an earlier thread-based attempt passed against the
defective guard three runs out of three, and its end state was ordering-dependent
rather than correctness-dependent, so it was dropped rather than shipped as
theatre). The seam is an internal ProbeReleaseInterleaveHook, null in production,
costing one null check on the already-refused path. Verified as a genuine red
against the timestamp guard: Expected ThrottledByPeer, Actual ProbeAdmitted.

Joseph Doherty acebe18773 fix(SEC-31,SEC-32): make probe admission atomic and stop Reset clearing a shared fallback partition
Two defects found in code review of the limiter rework.

Probe admission was check-then-act across two lock scopes: Check() read
"probe due" under lock(state), released it, then re-acquired to advance
NextProbeAtTicks. A burst of requests arriving together at an interval boundary
could therefore all observe the slot as due and all be admitted, handing the
verifier the very burst the interval exists to bound. The claim is now a single
critical section (TryConsumeProbe). The two layers are still claimed one at a
time — holding two per-state locks at once would need a global lock ordering to
stay deadlock-free — so a slot claimed on the composite partition is compensated
via ReleaseProbe when the aggregate then refuses, which otherwise silently spent
the partition's next slot and pushed the legitimate holder out by a full
interval.

Reset() removed whatever partition the caller resolved to, including the
address's shared fallback partition when the caller's key id had been collapsed
into it by the per-peer cap (or when the token was junk-shaped). That bucket also
carries failures contributed by other key ids from the same address, so one
successful authentication became a reset button for an in-progress spray. Reset
now clears only a partition the caller owns (effectiveKeyId == presented key id);
the shared bucket decays by window expiry instead, and the caller still recovers
through probe admission. The key's aggregate is cleared either way, as designed.

Also applied from the review: closure-free GetOrAdd overload on _partitions, and
a remarks paragraph acknowledging the best-effort O(n) eviction scan under
sustained overflow. Threading the resolved partition key from Check through to
RecordFailure/Reset was declined: Check resolves with mint:false and RecordFailure
with mint:true, and the two can legitimately differ when a concurrent caller fills
the per-peer cap in between — reusing Check's key would record into the wrong
partition and bypass the cap, which is not worth saving one string concat.

Tests (limiter suite 11 -> 14): ProbeAdmission_UnderConcurrentArrivals_
GrantsExactlyOneSlot (200 rounds x 8 barrier-released threads at the boundary),
ProbeAdmission_WhenAggregateRefuses_ReturnsTheClaimedPeerSlot, and
Reset_WithOverCapKeyId_DoesNotClearSharedFallbackPartition. The latter two were
confirmed as genuine reds against the unfixed code; the concurrency test is a
guard — it is deterministically green on the fixed structure but did not
reproduce the original nanosecond-wide window on its own.

Joseph Doherty df710e18a9 fix(SEC-31,SEC-32): re-partition the API-key failure limiter on (peer, key id) with probe admission
The gRPC auth failure limiter partitioned on the key id parsed out of the
*unauthenticated* token and rejected with ResourceExhausted before VerifyAsync
ran. Key ids are not secret — they ride in every token and are listed on the
dashboard — so any network peer could send 10 garbage-secret requests per minute
and deny that key indefinitely: the legitimate holder's correct secret was
refused before it was ever checked, and the success-path Reset that would clear
the block sat behind the verification the block prevented (SEC-31). The tracked
map was also flushable — any `a_b_c`-shaped junk minted a fresh partition (the
`mxgw` literal was never compared), so ~4096 throwaway tokens evicted a blocked
entry and reset the window (SEC-32).

ApiKeyFailureLimiter moves from IsBlocked/RecordFailure/Reset(string peer) to a
partition-pair API: Check/RecordFailure/Reset(ApiKeyThrottlePartition) with an
ApiKeyThrottleDecision result. Two layers share one sliding window — a composite
(transport peer, key id) partition at ApiKeyFailureLimit, and a per-key-id
aggregate across all peers at the new ApiKeyFailureAggregateLimit (default 30)
that bounds a source-rotating sprayer. An over-limit state is now a valve rather
than a wall: one request per the new ApiKeyFailureProbeIntervalSeconds (default
5) is admitted through to the real verifier, so the correct secret always reaches
the constant-time compare and resets both layers. Guarantees preserved: guessing
stays bounded per window, and the failure path still spends no store read per
attempt.

SEC-32 rides the same change set: the interceptor validates token shape (literal
`mxgw` prefix, >= 3 non-empty `_` segments, key id <= 64 chars) before minting a
key-id partition, each transport peer may mint at most 32 of them before the
overflow collapses onto its fallback partition, and eviction prefers fully
expired windows and never drops an over-limit partition below a 2x transient
overshoot ceiling. Throttled attempts increment mxgateway.auth.throttled, tagged
stage=peer|aggregate only — /metrics is unauthenticated (open SEC-14), so no key
material may appear there.

Docs in the same commit: GatewayConfiguration limiter rows plus the two new keys,
the Authentication hot-path paragraph, the Authorization SEC-11 section, and the
limiter / SecurityOptions XML remarks (the old NAT rationale described the
defective keying). Tracking rows flipped to Done with a change-log entry.

Tests: new ApiKeyFailureLimiterTests (11) covering window pruning, composite vs
aggregate trip points, probe cadence, absolute-block mode, reset across both
layers, junk-spray eviction resistance, the per-peer cap, and expired-window
eviction preference; GatewayGrpcAuthorizationInterceptorTests gains the four
SEC-31 contract tests plus NonMxgwToken_FallsBackToTransportPeerPartition (20
total); GatewayOptionsValidatorTests covers both new keys including 0 as a
supported disable value (66 total).
