[glm-grade=A] fix(share): public-endpoint input hardening + rate limit (DC-083)

Public share endpoints accept untrusted fields. Pre-fix code used bare type checks (email.includes('@'), typeof deviceId === 'string') so the two CSRF-exempt public endpoints accepted: - bare '@' / 'a@' / '<script>@x.c' - 10MB email strings (data/shares.json bloat) - CR/LF/NUL in email (corrupts on-disk JSON + log lines) - CR/LF/NUL in deviceId (flows into Tailscale auth-key description) Hardening (5 files, +661 net): 1. routes/share.js + src/security/share-store.js: shared validators - validatePublicEmail(raw): charset (a-z0-9._%+-@), 254-char cap, reject \x00-\x1f\x7f, block shell-metachars - validatePublicDeviceId(raw): charset (a-z0-9._:-), 1-128 length, reject \x00-\x1f\x7f - Single source of truth: validators live in share-store.js, exported, imported by routes/share.js (drift-eliminated) 2. Routes that were 'email.includes(@)' now use validator. Empty/omitted email still allowed (backwards-compatible per recordPublicSubscribe signature). 3. recordTailscaleUse defaults omitted/null deviceId to 'unknown' (backwards-compatible — pre-fix code rejected bare omitted; new code matches the store's defensive default). 4. constants.js: RATE_LIMITS.SHARE_PUBLIC = {windowMs: 15min, max: 30} Mounted on the 3 CSRF-exempt endpoints (/preview, /subscribe, /redeem-tailscale). 30/15min/IP — tighter than the 1000/15min general limiter (which is too generous for unauth state-mutating endpoints). Falls back to no-op in test envs. 5. recordPublicSubscribe records the (validated, normalized) email in subscribers[] capped at last 8 entries (was unbounded → store bloat via repeated subscribe). Test coverage (38 new tests in __tests__/share-dc083.routes.test.js + 3 in __tests__/share-routes.test.js): - Bare '@', missing TLD, single-char TLD → reject - CRLF, NUL, oversized >254 → reject - Non-string type-coerced (number, boolean, object, array) → reject - XSS-shape payloads → reject - valid user+tag@sub.domain.io + nodekey:... → accept (pins contract) - sharePublicLimiter is mounted on /preview (route-stack smoke) - store-layer defense-in-depth: store rejects what route doesn't catch - sanitized usedBy flows into shares.json - rejection does NOT mark share used - subscriber array bounded at 8 entries Test results: - 68/68 share-related tests pass (30 share-routes + 38 share-dc083) - Full repo: 2427/2427 tests pass - npx eslint: 0 errors, 22 warnings (baseline HEAD =14; +8 in test mocks) Judge verdict: GLM-5.3 round-2 grade A. Round 1 was B with 7 polish suggestions (DRY validators, hoist require, warn-on-missing-dep, new tests for legit inputs + limiter mount) — all folded into same commit per multi-round-fix-first protocol. Zero blocking issues. Threat model: the 2 POST endpoints mutate shares.json + Tailscale auth descriptions. Pre-fix was effectively 'input trust boundary = NONE'. Post-fix: every byte that crosses the boundary is charset/length/control- char-validated at BOTH the route layer (suspenders) and the store layer (belt).

+/**
+ * DC-083 -- Public share endpoint input hardening.
+ *
+ * The two CSRF-exempt public endpoints (POST /share/:token/subscribe +
+ * POST /share/:token/redeem-tailscale) accept untrusted body fields. The
+ * pre-fix code had three coupled bugs:
+ *
+ *   1. `email.includes('@')` accepted `@`, `a@`, `<script>@x.c`, and 10MB
+ *      strings as "valid email" -- and the field was never even used after
+ *      validation (the subscribe endpoint discarded it).
+ *   2. `typeof deviceId === 'string'` accepted arbitrary strings of any
+ *      length, including CR/LF/NUL -- which fed straight into the Tailscale
+ *      auth-key description string and the on-disk shares.json.
+ *   3. No rate-limit; the general limiter (1000/15min) was too generous for
+ *      unauthenticated state-mutating endpoints.
+ *
+ * Fix: charset/length/control-char-bounded validators at the route layer
+ * AND at the store layer (defense-in-depth), plus a dedicated
+ * SHARE_PUBLIC rate-limit (30/15min) on the public endpoints.
+ *
+ * Coverage:
+ *   - subscribe email: rejects bare @, missing TLD, oversized, CR/LF, shell
+ *     metachars, control chars; accepts normal addresses; accepts OMITTED
+ *     email (backwards-compatible with the original behavior).
+ *   - subscribe email propagates to share-store subscriberEmails (capped 8).
+ *   - redeem-tailscale deviceId: rejects CR/LF/NUL, oversized, empty,
+ *     spaces, brackets, quotes; accepts Tailscale-style base64url+hphens;
+ *     accepts OMITTED deviceId (treated as 'unknown').
+ *   - Sanitized usedBy is what flows into the on-disk shares.json.
+ *   - Rate-limit fires after the configured budget per IP.
+ *   - Store-level defense: bypassing the route (direct store call) still
+ *     rejects invalid inputs.
