feat(auth): rate-limit the unauthenticated /auth/* edge
Blanket per-endpoint limits would have been the wrong shape here. Every REST/WS/MCP surface is owner-only — an unauthenticated request is rejected by resolve_bearer/is_owner before any handler runs — so limiting them would mostly throttle the single legitimate operator, and real spend control for outbound calls is already max_concurrent_calls in gateway.make_call. What is genuinely exposed is the handful of /auth/* routes that must answer before an identity exists. /auth/callback and /auth/refresh-callback each make an outbound token exchange with Casdoor on every request; /auth/me opens a DB session and runs a token lookup. All are free to trigger and none are cheap to serve. /auth/logout is left unlimited — it builds a redirect URL and does no I/O. Not a defence against credential guessing: PATs are secrets.token_urlsafe(32) (256 bits) compared by SHA-256 digest, so brute force was never the threat. This is about unauthenticated work an attacker controls. Fixed-window, in-process, no new dependency — one operator and one process make a shared counter store infrastructure without a purpose. The bucket store is bounded and evicts oldest-first, since an unbounded map keyed by source address would itself be the exhaustion vector. The limiter keys on the socket peer and deliberately ignores X-Forwarded-For. That header is attacker-controlled unless a trusted proxy overwrites it, and this app establishes no such trust; keying on it would let one client present as thousands and make the limiter worse than useless. Behind the estate's reverse proxy the limit is therefore per-proxy, not per-caller — correct for exhaustion and honest about what it can enforce. Per-caller limits need an explicit trusted-proxy config, noted in CLAUDE.md so it isn't added silently. Verified against a real server: exactly 30 requests pass, then 429 with Retry-After: 60, while an owner-gated route serves 40/40. The 429s appear in the JSON access log with queryable status_code and client_addr, so an attack is visible in Loki. The wiring test identifies the dependency by qualname rather than string search, and was mutation-checked by removing the limit from /auth/me. Also documents 401/403/429 in the API reference — 401 and 403 have existed since auth landed but were never in the status-code table. Phase 4 is now complete.
