fix(homecore-api security): auth-gate GET /api/ (was unauthenticated) + recover WS subscription on broadcast lag (#1076)

* fix(homecore-api security): auth-gate GET /api/ (HC-API-AUTH-01, ADR-161)

`rest::api_root` took no headers and unconditionally returned
`200 {"message":"API running."}`, while every sibling REST route gates
on `BearerAuth::from_headers`. HA's `APIStatusView` inherits
`requires_auth = True`, so `/api/` must return 401 for a missing/wrong
bearer — HA clients use it as a token-validation probe, so a 200 told a
bad-token client its token was valid and let an unauthenticated party
confirm a live endpoint. LOW severity (static body, no data leak),
reported at true severity.

Fix: `api_root(headers, State)` validates the bearer like `get_config`.

Pinned by fails-on-old tests (200 -> assert 401):
- api_root_rejects_missing_bearer
- api_root_rejects_wrong_bearer
guarded by api_root_accepts_correct_bearer (still 200 with valid token).

* fix(homecore-api security): recover WS subscription on broadcast lag (HC-WS-LAG-01, ADR-161)

`subscribe_events`'s per-subscription task matched `Err(_) => break` on
both broadcast `recv()` arms. `RecvError::Lagged(n)` (a slow consumer
falling >EVENT_CHANNEL_CAPACITY=4,096 events behind) is recoverable —
the bus doc says "Lagged receivers must re-sync" and HA keeps the
subscription alive across a lag. The old code treated the first lag as
fatal, so after an event burst the client's stream went permanently
silent with no error frame — a self-inflicted event-delivery DoS under
load. LOW severity.

Fix: `Lagged(_) => continue` (skip dropped window, re-sync),
`Closed => break`, on both the system and domain arms.

Pinned by subscription_survives_broadcast_lag: subscribes, floods 6,000
filtered events past the 4,096 capacity to force a Lagged, then asserts
a subsequent subscribed event is still delivered (old code: 5s timeout).

* docs(homecore-api security): record HC-API-AUTH-01 + HC-WS-LAG-01 review (ADR-161)

CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Security entry + ADR-161 addendum documenting the
beyond-SOTA network-API review: two LOW bugs fixed (unauthenticated
GET /api/; WS subscription killed on broadcast lag) and the
auth/traversal/injection/info-leak/CORS dimensions confirmed clean with
evidence (no traversal surface — in-memory DashMap + EntityId allowlist;
HashSet token compare, not a byte-== timing oracle).

## Addendum — `homecore-api` follow-up security review (beyond-SOTA pass)
A later network-facing review of `homecore-api` (the remote REST + WS attack
surface) — independent of the ADR-154159 sweep — found and fixed two real
issues the original M7 pass (which focused on the WS auth bypass HC-WS-01, the
reply-theater HC-WS-02, and the bin token provisioning HC-WS-08) did not catch.
Both are LOW severity and reported at true severity.
### HC-API-AUTH-01 — `GET /api/` was unauthenticated (FIXED)
`rest::api_root` took no headers and unconditionally returned
`200 {"message":"API running."}`, while every sibling route gates on
`BearerAuth::from_headers`. HA's `APIStatusView` inherits `requires_auth = True`,
so `/api/` must return **401** for a missing/wrong bearer. HA clients use the
status route as a token-validation probe; a 200 told a bad-token client its
token was valid and let an unauthenticated party confirm a live endpoint.
LOW severity (the body is a static string; no entity/state data leaks).
**Fix:** `api_root(headers, State)` now validates the bearer like `get_config`.
**Pinned by** (fail-on-old, `tests/server_bin_auth.rs`):
`api_root_rejects_missing_bearer`, `api_root_rejects_wrong_bearer` (both 200→401),
guarded by `api_root_accepts_correct_bearer` (still 200 with a valid token).
### HC-WS-LAG-01 — `subscribe_events` killed the stream on a broadcast lag (FIXED)
The per-subscription task matched `Err(_) => break` on both broadcast
`recv()` arms. `RecvError::Lagged(n)` (a slow consumer falling
>`EVENT_CHANNEL_CAPACITY` = 4,096 events behind) is **recoverable** — the bus
doc says "Lagged receivers must re-sync" and HA keeps the subscription alive
across a lag. The old code treated the first lag as fatal, so after an event
burst the client's stream went permanently silent with no error frame — a
self-inflicted event-delivery DoS under load.
**Fix:** `Lagged(_) => continue` (skip the dropped window, re-sync),
`Closed => break`, on both the system and domain arms of the `select!`.
**Pinned by** `subscription_survives_broadcast_lag` (`tests/ws_handshake.rs`):
subscribes to a filtered event type, floods 6,000 unrelated events past the
4,096 capacity to force a `Lagged`, then asserts a subsequent subscribed event
is still delivered (old code: 5s-timeout panic).
### Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence)
- **AuthN/AuthZ** — all 7 other REST handlers gate on `BearerAuth::from_headers`
`LongLivedTokenStore::is_valid` before any work; the WS handshake validates
the `auth` token against the same store before the command loop, and
privileged commands are unreachable pre-`auth_ok`. Token compare is
`HashSet::contains` (content-independent timing — not the byte-`==` oracle of
ADR-157 §B4), so no timing-oracle finding. No route skips the gate; no
result-ignored check; no default/empty token accepted.
- **Path traversal** — no route maps user input to a filesystem path (state is an
in-memory `DashMap`); `:entity_id` passes through `EntityId::parse`, a strict
`[a-z0-9_]+\.[a-z0-9_]+` ASCII allowlist that rejects `..`, `/`, `\`, and
absolute paths. No traversal surface.
- **Injection** — no SQL, no shell/subprocess, no `format!`-into-response;
service/state bodies are typed `serde_json::Value` handed to the in-process
registry (HA-equivalent).
- **Info-leak** — `ApiError` maps to fixed status + a typed `{message}`;
`ServiceError::HandlerFailed(String)` is integration-controlled (HA surfaces
the handler error too), never framework internals/paths/stack-traces — no
ADR-080-class leak.
- **CORS** — explicit allowlist with `allow_credentials(false)` (HC-05),
not `permissive()`.
- **De-magic** — no bare security-relevant literals in the crate worth
extracting (`EVENT_CHANNEL_CAPACITY` is already named in `homecore`; CORS
dev-default ports are documented).
**Tests:** `homecore-api --no-default-features` **25 → 29** (+2 api-root auth,
+1 api-root accept-guard, +1 WS lag-survival), 0 failed. Workspace green.
Python deterministic proof unchanged (homecore-api is off the signal proof
path).
