*
* DELETE /api/v1/tailscale/admin/devices/:id
* Revokes a device from the tailnet.
*
* # DC-080 input validation
*
* Three coupled gaps in the route layer pre-fix:
*
* (a) PUT /settings validated `apiToken.startsWith('tskey-api-')` but had
* no length cap — body-parser limit was the only ceiling. A 1 MB
* string starting with `tskey-api-` would be `.trim()`-ed, sent to
* Tailscale's /devices endpoint, and waste server-side CPU on a
* request that will always 401.
* (b) POST /settings/test accepted `apiToken` from the body with NO
* validation at all. The PUT route's prefix check is bypassed on
* the test path — an operator could submit any string and have the
* container ping Tailscale's API with it (low impact, but inconsistent
* with PUT and surfaces fingerprinting via the 401 timing).
* (c) POST /admin/keys validated `tags` as Array but NOT per-element
* type — `tags: ['tag:guest', null, 123, {injection: true}]` would be
* forwarded to Tailscale verbatim. Tailscale's API is JSON-strict
* and would 400 the request, but the bad shape reached the wire.
* Similarly `description` had no length cap (Tailscale caps at 120
* chars per their docs).
*
* All three are gated by TOTP — this is a logged-in-operator / phished-
* session threat surface, not anonymous-unauth. The fix is defense-in-
* depth: a bug in the auth path (TOTP bypass, session theft, future
* route handler trust-boundary drift) should not turn these endpoints
* into a "submit anything and forward to Tailscale" relay.
