//! **The metered appliance: verify, log, store, swap — and answer the front
//! door in nanoseconds.** Compiled only with the `metered` feature.

//!                                              │ 4. EntitlementCache::push                  (the arc-swap snapshot the front door reads)
//!                                              │ 5. caps["cache_bytes"] → Namespace::explode_budget_bytes

//!   authorise_service ──PlanGate::verdict──▶ EntitlementCache::allows   (one atomic load, one map lookup)
//! ```
//!
//! The order in `set` is the correctness argument: a fact is logged before it
//! is enforced, so there is no window in which the box acts on a plan its own
//! log does not show; and nothing at all happens to a fact that does not
//! verify — not a log line, not a store write, not a swap. Step 1 refusing is
//! the whole security property, and it is `monetize_embed::signing::verify_fact`
//! over `monetize_embed::signing::fact_message`: gunnar writes no canonical
//! form of its own, so there is no second encoding for a forger to aim at.
//!
//! **Step 1b is there because step 1 is not enough.** A signature says the fact
//! is monetize's; it does not say WHEN. Until 2026-09-17 an `EntitlementFact`
//! was replayable for ever — capture a `Paid` fact, wait for the tenant to
//! lapse, push the captured bytes back, and every check above passed, because
//! they were all real. `paid_until` cannot tell a replayed `Paid` from a
//! legitimate `Suspended` at the same date; that is what a lapse IS. So the
//! fact now carries `issued_unix_ms`, signed, and
//! [`EntitlementSlot::check_not_replayed`] refuses one that is not newer than
//! the fact this box holds. It runs under the same lock as the write, and
//! before the log, so a refused replay leaves no trace of having been tried
//! anywhere but the refusal line.
//!
//! # Boot
//!
//! [`EntitlementSlot::open`] loads every stored fact and pushes it into the
//! cache **through the same verification**. A fact that was accepted under a
//! key this box no longer trusts, or a control document somebody edited, is
//! refused at boot and logged by namespace; that namespace is then Free until
//! monetize pushes a fact that verifies. Refusing to boot would be the outage
//! that ends the relationship (the metered plan); serving a tenant for free until the
//! next signed fact arrives is the cheap failure.
//!
//! # What is NOT here
//!
//! No clock arithmetic: the state is monetize's verdict, stored, and the
//! ladder moves when monetize pushes the next fact. No network: monetize
//! reaches this box, never the reverse, and `git push` never waits on anyone's
//! uptime. No payment code, ever (the metered plan).

/// absent one" (its own doc). The engine agrees: `ExplodedCache::over_budget`
/// is `self.budget != 0 && ...` and `evict_to_budget` returns early on
/// `budget == 0`. So writing `Some(0)` for a suspended tenant would hand them
/// an UNBOUNDED cache — the exact inverse of the intent, silently, and the
/// symptom would be a suspended namespace growing on a full disk.
///
/// # The type cannot express "no cache", and this is said rather than faked
///
/// There is no value of `Option<u64>` that means zero bytes of cache, and
/// `1` does not become one by being small. What `1` actually buys, read out of
/// `exploded_cache.rs` rather than assumed:
///
/// * `segment_for(1)` = `(1/16).clamp(min(16 MiB, 0).max(64 KiB), 1 GiB)` =
///   **64 KiB**, so the lazy pool rotates every 64 KiB;
/// * `evict_to_budget` drops the cheapest segment while more than one exists,
///   so the pool converges on its single live segment — ~64 KiB per store, not
///   0;
/// * the **eager** pool is never evicted by either path, by design: it is the
///   commit-and-tree graph that `graph`, `reach` and a tag peel read, not a
///   cache. A suspended namespace keeps it.
///
/// So: a suspended tenant is held to ~64 KiB of lazily-exploded objects per
/// store plus their graph pool. That is the floor this appliance can express,
/// it is two to five orders of magnitude under a real budget, and calling it
/// "no cache" in a changelog would be the lie. Making a true zero expressible
/// means a new variant on the field — a schema change to a persisted control
/// document, which is not something a cache-reclaim change gets to do on its

    ///    fitted, and it would do so *mid-transfer*, which is the worst moment

    ///    refuses at `held >= cap`, so `held + n == cap` is a legal push; a
    ///    hard ceiling with no slack cuts it at its last byte.
    /// 3. **This is a backstop, not a meter.** Billing is `Usage.Read`'s job
    ///    and the polite refusal is `pack_quota`'s, before the bytes. What is
    ///    left for this to prevent is the *unbounded* push — 400 GiB, not
    ///    400 MiB — so it is set generously on purpose. A tenant who overshoots
