[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).
