Add a prod-only, in-memory IP ban enforced at the edge, fed by three signals:
sustained rate-limiter rejections (the IP-keyed public/email/admin classes — the
user class stays the backend soft-flag's concern), a honeypot decoy-path hit (the
contour caddy tags decoys with X-Scrabble-Honeypot and routes them to the gateway),
and a honeytoken (a planted bearer, GATEWAY_HONEYTOKEN). A banned IP is refused with
429 by the abuseGuard middleware before any work — covering the Connect edge, the
live stream and the static SPA/landing the per-op limiter never gated.
The ban is off by default: it keys by the real client IP the shared-NAT test contour
does not expose, so a ban there would be self-inflicted; detection still logs in the
contour, only the ban action is gated (GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_ENABLED). Rejection bans last
GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_DURATION; tripwire/honeytoken hits are near-zero-false-positive and
earn longer fixed bans. Each ban increments gateway_abuse_banned_total{reason}.
Operators see and lift active bans on the admin console's Throttled page; the gateway
syncs its active set to the backend every 30s (POST /api/v1/internal/bans/sync,
backend/internal/banview) and applies the operator unbans the response returns.
PRERELEASE phase AG. Docs baked into ARCHITECTURE / FUNCTIONAL (+ru) / both READMEs.

`GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_WINDOW` (the IP-keyed public/email/admin classes — the user class

**honeytoken** (a planted bearer no real client holds, `GATEWAY_HONEYTOKEN`). A banned

IP is refused with **429** by an edge middleware (`abuseGuard`) before any work —

hit is near-zero-false-positive and earns a longer fixed ban (1 h / 24 h). The ban is
|

**in-memory, single-instance and resets on restart**, like `ratewatch`; each ban
|

increments `gateway_abuse_banned_total` (`reason` = rejections/tripwire/honeytoken). The
|

decoy paths live only in the contour **caddy**, which tags them with `X-Scrabble-Honeypot`
|
||||
(stripping any client-supplied value) and routes them to the gateway. It is **off by
|
||||
default and only enabled in prod**: the ban keys by real client IP, which the shared-NAT
|
||||
test contour does not expose (every client arrives as one address), so a ban there would
|

be self-inflicted — the honeypot/honeytoken still **log** in the contour, only the ban

*action* is gated. Operators see the active bans and lift them on the admin console's

(`POST /api/v1/internal/bans/sync`, network-trusted like the rejection report) and applies

the operator unbans the response returns, so a manual unban takes effect within the sync

interval.
