feat(adr-115): P9 — security audit (mqtt::security) + criterion benchmarks (15 tests)

## Security audit (`mqtt::security`) New module enforcing the ADR-115 §3.9 / §7 wire-level invariants as pure functions, callable from both the publisher hot path and the unit-test suite: - **Topic safety** — reject `+`, `#`, `\0`, `/` in segment-level identifiers (node_id, client_id, zone tag). Prevents a malicious upstream payload from injecting MQTT wildcards that would corrupt subscription semantics. - **Path safety** — reject NUL / newline in TLS cert / CA paths. - **Payload-size cap** — 32 KB hard limit per publish, well below broker defaults (most brokers cap at 256 KB). Lets the publisher drop oversized payloads with a WARN instead of crashing. - **Credential hygiene** — `password_via_env_only` is a canary: if the CLI ever grows an inline `--mqtt-password` flag, this test fails on purpose. Today we only accept `--mqtt-password-env <VAR>`. - **STRICT_TLS upgrade** — `RUVIEW_MQTT_STRICT_TLS=1` promotes the `PlaintextOnPublicHost` advisory from `MqttConfig::validate` to fatal. This is the planned v0.8.0 default per ADR §9.5. - **Discovery prefix sanity** — rejects non-alphanumeric prefixes outside [_-/], so a malformed `--mqtt-prefix` can't escape the HA topic namespace. 15 unit tests (mqtt::security) covering every invariant + 1 properly-`#[ignore]`d test for the env-mutating STRICT_TLS path. ## Criterion benchmarks (`benches/mqtt_throughput.rs`) Micro-benchmarks for the MQTT + semantic hot paths: - discovery payload generation (presence / heart_rate / fall event) - state encoders (boolean / numeric / event) - rate-limiter `allow()` decisions (first sample + within-gap) - privacy `decide()` (strip HR vs keep presence) - full bus tick across all 10 semantic primitives Bench targets (laptop-class release build): - discovery payload: <5 µs state encode: <2 µs - rate limit: <100 ns privacy decide: <50 ns - bus tick (10 prim): <10 µs Run with `cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server --bench mqtt_throughput --features mqtt`. Numbers will be captured into the witness bundle in P10. `criterion` 0.5 added as dev-dep. `[[bench]] required-features = ["mqtt"]` so default `cargo bench --workspace` doesn't try to build it without rumqttc. Lib test count: **372 passed** (357 → 372, +15 security tests). Refs #776. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>

+//! Security invariants for the MQTT publisher (ADR-115 §3.9 / §7).
+//!
+//! Everything that's user-facing on the wire must go through one of
+//! these checks before publish. The checks are pure functions so they
+//! can be exercised by both the unit-test suite and the integration
+//! test running against a real broker.
+//!
+//! ## Invariants enforced here
+//!
+//! 1. **Topic safety.** A node_id or zone tag that contains `+`, `#`,
+//!    or `\0` would corrupt MQTT topic semantics. We reject those at
+//!    config-validation time so a malicious payload from upstream can't
+//!    inject a subscription wildcard.
+//! 2. **Payload size.** HA's discovery schema doesn't have an explicit
+//!    cap, but most brokers default to 256 KB max message size. We
+//!    refuse to publish anything > 32 KB to stay well below that, and
+//!    log a `WARN` so the operator can investigate.
+//! 3. **Credential hygiene.** Passwords supplied directly via flag
+//!    (rather than via env) are rejected — they'd appear in `ps`
+//!    output, shell history, and (worse) syslog if a process supervisor
+//!    captures argv. `--mqtt-password-env <VAR>` is the only supported
+//!    path.
+//! 4. **TLS on non-localhost.** `MqttConfig::validate` already returns
+//!    `PlaintextOnPublicHost` advisory. This module promotes it to
+//!    fatal when `RUVIEW_MQTT_STRICT_TLS=1` (the planned v0.8.0
+//!    default per ADR §9.5).
