baffaa46c9 feat(rust): identity — a link code from the game, and the Steam id inside core's user page
R1's identity link, site-side, and R13's first extension slot. A player types
/link in game, the plugin hands them a six-character code privately, and they
enter it here; the site records who owns which Steam account, and an operator
sees that on core's own `/admin/users/:id` page.

**The site is the author of record and the game holds nothing.** There is no
per-account store in Rust that survives a wipe, and phase 7 needs the site
authoritative anyway — it pushes permissions INTO the game keyed by Steam id. A
copy in the game would be a second thing to reconcile every wipe, for no question
it could answer better.

## D24 — a code is minted by ONE server, so every server is asked

Nothing in six characters says where it came from. The fleet is asked in turn and
the first `link.ok` wins; the others answer `unknown` and nothing happens there,
because a code is only spent at the server that actually holds it. Asking the
player to pick was rejected: a wrong pick would come back indistinguishable from
a wrong code, and that is the one refusal which must not be ambiguous.

**"Every reachable server refused" is not the same answer as "a server was
unreachable."** Collapsing them tells a player whose server is down that their
code is wrong — so they run /link again on that same server and are told the same
thing for as long as it stays down. `unsure` is that case, and it says to try
again rather than to fetch a new code.

## D23 — a Steam id another account holds is refused, never moved

The primary key is `steam_id`, and it is load-bearing rather than tidy: phase 7
grants permissions against a link and phase 13 hangs entitlements off it, so a
silent move is an account takeover performed by typing six characters. The
refusal names the holder, because the advice is unusable without it. The INSERT
is a plain INSERT for the same reason — `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` here would BE
that move — and the duplicate-key error is the refusal for the race the check
above cannot close.

The way out is `/unlink` in game, which reaches the site off the ingest feed
rather than through a route (the plugin has no link to delete). D25 adds the
other way out: staff can sever a link from the admin panel, for a player who
cannot reach that Steam account in game.

## The slot, and the hole it found in this repo's own generator

`admin.users.detail` is declared in `module.json` AND registered in `index.js`
AND filled by the chunk — three places, because the server half and the client
half are different registrations that share one name.

`swaggerFragment.js` knew only about tier routers, so the two routes under
`/admin/users/:id` were generated by nothing: a fragment that was internally
consistent and described two routes fewer than the module serves. A slot's mount
is core's and cannot be derived here, so it is a fourth constant beside
`TIER_BASE` — held to account by the frozen-manifest job, which was verified to
catch exactly this by removing the two paths and watching it fail.

## Smaller things worth knowing

- **Core's `useAsync` has no `refresh`.** A counter in the deps is how a page
  re-reads after its own write; it blanks while it re-reads, which is right here
  and is exactly what made it wrong for a poll.
- **Every player-portal nav row needs an `icon`** — core draws one on every row,
  and the client suite says so. This module had no icons file until now, because
  the public header is text buttons.
- The two new frame kinds are STAFF-only. Neither carries a code, but both name a
  Steam id beside a website account's activity, and that join is not a public
  fact about what happened on a server.
- The link code route carries its own rate limiter rather than core's
  `accountChangeLimiter`: this is guessing somebody else's secret, not changing
  your own password, and a shared counter would let one policy set the other.

Protocol 3 on all three declaration sites; 17 new tests, 136 green.

The module half of the read path. Seven tables, an ingest cursor, four public
routes, and one file whose only job is deciding who may see what.

**The record and the window are different things.** `rust_player_wipe_stats` and
`rust_gather_totals` are permanent and per-wipe, so all-time is those rows SUMmed
rather than a second set of counters that can disagree with them — that is R12's
"per-wipe detail plus all-time rollups" in one table instead of two.
`rust_events` is a bounded 30-day window of raw frames for the killfeed, and
`rust_presence` is a board: replaced wholesale, never appended.

**The feed is a cursor, not a socket, and the header says why.** Core runs Node
20, where a global WebSocket is still behind a flag, so a socket means taking
`ws` — against a release that asserts it has no runtime dependencies (D5). The
deciding argument is the other one though: a socket needs a cursor anyway, for
whatever it missed while the module was restarting, and the catch-up path is the
one that has to be right. A cursor alone is one mechanism exercised every five
seconds rather than two where the second only runs after an outage.

**The cursor advances after the batch, never before.** A crash between the two
re-reads events already counted, which inflates a total; the other order loses
them silently and for ever. One is visible and bounded, the other is invisible
and permanent, so the code fails in the visible direction. A server with no
cursor starts at the sidecar's current END rather than at zero — replaying a
fortnight of deaths into stats for wipes the site never saw is not a catch-up.

**`catalogue.js` is a security boundary, default-deny.** Protocol 2 carries IP
addresses (login attempts, approvals, bans), one player's report about another,
and the grid reference of somebody's base. They are stored, because an operator
chasing ban evasion needs them; they are not served below the admin tier. The
allowlist lives here rather than as a field on the wire, because a boundary
declared by the sender is one a compromised or merely out-of-date game host can
widen — the same reason core's own shard fan-out filters on the serving side. A
kind this build has never heard of is not public, and a test holds the list
against PROTOCOL.md §8.4 so that adding a kind to the protocol without
classifying it fails a build.

`PROTOCOL_VERSION` goes to 2 here in the same change as the emitters, though this
module consumes none of the new frames yet: the sidecar refuses a mismatched
client with a 409, so a module left on 1 would stop being able to read the board
it has been reading all along. A constant that lags the deployment is an outage
with a version number on it.

95 server tests, 20 client tests, every guard green, and `routes.manifest.json`
regenerated against a real core at the pinned ref: 10 routes, all documented,
none of core's moved.
