//! Per-account login lockout — defends against credential stuffing /
//! brute-force attacks that bypass per-IP rate limits.
//!
//! Backed by the cache layer (in-memory or Redis). Each failed login
//! increments a counter; once it crosses the threshold, the account is
//! locked for a configurable duration. Successful logins clear the counter.
//!
//! ## Quick start
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use rustango::account_lockout::Lockout;
//! use rustango::cache::InMemoryCache;
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! let cache: Arc<dyn rustango::cache::Cache> = Arc::new(InMemoryCache::new());
//! let lockout = Lockout::new(cache)
//! .max_attempts(5)
//! .lockout_duration(Duration::from_secs(900)); // 15 min
//!
//! // Login handler:
//! let username = "alice";
//!
//! if lockout.is_locked(username).await {
//! return Err("account temporarily locked — try again later");
//! }
//!
//! if !verify_credentials(username, password).await? {
//! lockout.record_failure(username).await;
//! return Err("bad credentials");
//! }
//!
//! lockout.clear(username).await; // success → reset counter
//! issue_session(username).await
//! ```
//!
//! ## Why per-account, not per-IP?
//!
//! Per-IP rate limiting (`RateLimitLayer::per_ip`) catches one attacker
//! pounding one endpoint. Per-account lockout catches a botnet trying
//! the same username from thousands of IPs — the *account* is the rate
//! axis. Both belong in your stack.
