[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-081: log-insights dispose path + keepDays input validation hardening.
+ *
+ * Two coupled bugs surfaced in the 2026-08-19 sweep:
+ *
+ *  1. log-insights.js hardcoded the audit-log.json + security-events.jsonl
+ *     paths to `/opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/data/...`, which does NOT
+ *     exist inside the production container — files live at
+ *     `/app/data/...` (mounted via the existing data bind). The dispose
+ *     endpoint silently no-op'd: `fs.readFile('/opt/.../audit-log.json')`
+ *     hit the `.catch` arm → `auditData = []` → wrote an empty file back.
+ *
+ *  2. `parseInt(req.body.keepDays) || 30` accepted negative numbers. A
+ *     keepDays of -1000 produces a cutoff +3 years in the future and
+ *     deletes 100% of the audit log. Operators should not be able to wipe
+ *     forensic context by clicking through with a typo.
+ *
+ * DC-081 fix:
+ *   - `_resolvePaths()` returns `{ auditPath, secPath }` from
+ *     `process.env.AUDIT_LOG_FILE || path.join(platformPaths.dataDir, 'audit-log.json')`
+ *     — same canonical resolution as the audit-logger module.
+ *   - `_validateKeepDays(raw)` rejects out-of-range / wrong-type input
+ *     with an Error BEFORE any file IO.
+ *   - POST /log-insights/dispose now requires `{ keepDays: integer 1..3650, confirm: true }`.
+ *     The pre-confirm preview is read-only.
+ *
+ * Verified live on DNS2 2026-08-19: `/app/data/audit-log.json` (318 KB)
+ * and `/app/data/security-events.jsonl` (15 MB) both exist; the old
+ * `/opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/data/...` paths are ENOENT in the container.

+/**
+ * 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.
