docs: correct three doc-vs-code contradictions found by adversarial review
All three are my own drift — the exact failure this session criticised in other
repos' ADRs and then reproduced.
1. ADR-271 §2 still listed "`iss` matches the configured issuer verbatim" in the
accept-rule. That rule was removed from the code in 12635a85 because Cognitum
issues no `iss` and it rejected every real token. The ADR's own "Facts about
the tokens" section 30 lines above already said tokens carry no `iss` — the
document contradicted itself for a day. Also removed a claim that tests cover
"issuer mismatch including a trailing-slash-only difference"; that test was
deleted with the rule and no longer exists.
2. `ruview-auth/src/lib.rs:59` said "**No login flow.** ... this crate only
verifies" — 15 lines above `pub mod login;`. Now states the accurate thing:
the login flow is behind the non-default `login` feature, so a verifying
server never compiles it.
3. ADR-271's scope table still described the old prefix-denylist admin set.
Replaced with the fail-closed rule that actually ships, including why:
`/api/v1/adaptive/train` was reachable with `sensing:read`.
Also records a KNOWN INCOMPLETE that the ADRs previously implied was done: the
browser cannot obtain an OAuth token at all. `wifi-densepose login` writes
~/.ruview/credentials.json, which a browser cannot read; the UI reads
localStorage['ruview-api-token'], populated only by the manual-paste
QuickSettings panel. `grep -ril "oauth|cognitum|pkce" ui/` returns nothing.
So the WebSocket ticket mechanism ADR-272 introduces "for browsers" is today
only exercisable with the legacy static shared secret OAuth was meant to
replace. Server-side gating is correct and complete; the browser half of the
story these ADRs tell is not built. Recorded rather than left implied.
