//! The fixed-window counting itself: which window a moment falls in, which
//! bucket a key gets, and whether a count is within its limit.
//!
//! Split from `mod.rs` when that file crossed the 500-line ratchet on gaining
//! per-tenant limits. A cohesive seam rather than an arbitrary cut: `mod.rs`
//! keeps the type, how it is configured, and the `ServerInterceptor` impl that
//! decides *which* limits apply; this file holds the mechanics those decisions
//! are expressed in. Nothing here knows about tenants or callers — every entry
//! point is given the key and the limit it should apply, which is what let the
//! tenant scope be added without touching any of it.
