Merge pull request 'release: v1.16.0 — offer live pricing, bot health telemetry, edge blocklist' (#247) from development into master

Refuse a client whose IP is in a curated CIDR feed with 403 in the same
abuseGuard, before the fail2ban ban. Prod-only (keys by real client IP), off by
default.

- ratelimit.Blocklist: a sorted-range IPv4 matcher (binary search) with an
  allowlist checked first; ParseDROP reads the feed; ApplyRefresh keeps the
  last-good feed on a transient fetch failure and drops it fail-open once stale
  (better to under-block than block a legitimate client on a frozen feed). A
  separate static CIDR set, not the per-IP fail2ban store.
- gateway: a refresher goroutine re-fetches every few hours (bounded fetch + size
  cap); config GATEWAY_BLOCKLIST_{ENABLED,URL,ALLOW,REFRESH,MAX_STALENESS}.
  IPv6 is not matched (a v6 client is still covered by fail2ban / the honeypot).
- observability: gateway_blocklist_blocked_total + entries/age gauges; a Grafana
  alert warns before the feed is dropped; service-overview panels.
- deploy: compose env + write-prod-env.sh + prod-deploy/rollback wiring (opt-in
  via PROD_ vars).
- docs (ARCHITECTURE, deploy/README); unit tests (match, allowlist, IPv6 skip,
  parser, fault-tolerance) + a 403 abuse-guard integration test.

+**Status:** DONE · **Release 2** · depends on: E0, E1, E2, E4 · mechanics: PAYMENTS §9, §12.
+
+**Delivery & baked decisions.** Shipped as a linear PR stack (owner's choice), Robokassa first.
+Resolved: match the order by a Robokassa **`Shp_order`** custom parameter, not the numeric `InvId`
+(an order id is a uuid); idempotency key = the order id (`provider_payment_id = order_id`); the НПД
+receipt is formed **shop-side in the Robokassa cabinet**, so no `Receipt` parameter is sent; a
+chargeback **never drives the balance negative** (D27 stands, `balances_chips_chk` kept), so E5 is
+**schema-free** (no migration, no contour wipe). Delivered on `feature/payment-intake-robokassa`:
+the offer page (`/offer/`), the order/`fund` engine (idempotent, honours an expired order), the
+`internal/robokassa` adapter, the `POST /wallet/order` + internal Result-callback handlers (a D36
+confirmed-email gate on `direct`), the pending reaper, the `wallet.order` edge wire + the public
+`/pay/*` routes, the Wallet purchase CTA, the contour deploy env (IsTest forced), and the
+`payment_events` dispatcher — an in-app wallet-refresh push (KindNotification `"payment"`) with a
+self-closing provider-return page (the payment opens in a separate window) and a return-focus
+refetch fallback. The **VK Votes rail** is delivered too: the client opens
+`VKWebAppShowOrderBox({item: order_id})`; a two-phase signed server callback (`get_item` → the pack
+title + vote price; a chargeable `order_status_change` → the same `Fund` with source=`vk`, idempotent
+on VK's own order id) is verified at the gateway with the app protected key (`GATEWAY_VK_APP_SECRET`,
+already deployed) and proxied to the backend intake. The **Telegram Stars rail** is delivered on
+`feature/payment-intake-tg-stars`: only the bot reaches Telegram, so the **invoice is minted by the
+bot** — on the `wallet.order` path the gateway sends a new `CreateInvoice` command over the reverse
+bot-link and the bot returns the `createInvoiceLink` (XTR) in its Ack, handed to the client's
+`WebApp.openInvoice`. The bot answers `pre_checkout_query` via a new bot→gateway **`ValidatePreCheckout`**
+unary (backed by the backend: the order must exist, be still creditable and **not already paid** — the
+reusable-invoice double-pay guard — with a matching amount); the decline reason is localised to the
+order account's language. A completed `successful_payment` is persisted to a pure-Go **SQLite outbox**
+(`modernc.org/sqlite`) then forwarded by a new bot→gateway **`ForwardPayment`** unary into the same
+`Fund` (source=`telegram`, idempotent on `telegram_payment_charge_id`, honours an expired order),
+re-driven at startup and every 30 s. The rail is wired by `TELEGRAM_STARS_OUTBOX_DIR` (defaults to the
+bot `/data` volume) but stays **inert until a chip pack carries an XTR price**, so seeding a Stars price
+in the admin is the go-live. Finally **refunds** are delivered on `feature/payment-intake-refunds`: a
+single `Refund` engine (`internal/payments`) reverses a paid order best-effort, exactly once —
+idempotent on `(provider, provider_refund_id)`, revoking the funded chips **floored at 0** (never
+negative, D27), and recording the unrecoverable remainder (chips already spent) as a per-account
+**loss + abuse flag** in the new additive `payments.account_risk` table (read by the E7 report). The
+refund ledger row's chip delta is what was actually reclaimed (the ledger stays reconcilable); the
+full reversal rides in its snapshot; the order stays `paid`. **No rail pushes an unsolicited refund**
+— all are admin-triggered (E7): Robokassa refund API / cabinet (auto-polling deferred — a worker not
+worth it at low chargeback volume), VK via support, Telegram `refundStarPayment`. `failed` events are
+not wired (no rail signals a hard post-charge server decline). The migration is **additive** (a new
+table only), so E5 stays rollback-safe / no contour wipe. That closes E5. Deferred to a later stage:
+hiding the ad banner on a no-ads purchase (a spend-path `NotifyBanner`, with the owner's agreement).

+**Status:** DONE · **Release 2** · depends on: E2 (chips), E5 (rewarded credits via intake) ·
 mechanics: PAYMENTS §10.
 
+**Delivery & baked decisions.** Shipped as a linear PR stack (owner's choice): **rewarded first**,
+then interstitial. Baked: the interstitial cooldowns already exist in `payments.config` (E0) and the
+per-origin banner suppression is already done (E2 `AdFree`), so E6 is the two ad DISPLAY paths + the
+rewarded credit. **VK reality (checked live in the VK docs via Playwright):** VK Mini App ads
+(`VKWebAppShowNativeAds`, both `reward` and `interstitial`) expose **only a client-side `data.result`
+boolean** — no server verify, no signature. So **D29 is amended**: rewarded is **client-attested**,
+guarded by a server **daily + hourly cap** (config `reward_daily_cap` / `reward_hourly_cap`, default
+50 / 10) that is both anti-abuse and an economic conversion lever (limits free chips so players buy);
+the cooldown state for the interstitial is **client-mirrored** (owner's pick). Delivered on
+`feature/ads-rewarded` (the **rewarded** slice): the ads-network abstraction (`ui/src/lib/ads.ts`, VK
+impl) + the VK bridge (`vkRewardedReady` / `vkShowRewarded`), the backend `CreditReward` (VK-only,
+order-less, idempotent on a client nonce, floored by the caps, payout from config
+`rewarded_payout_chips` default 0 = off), the `wallet.reward` edge op returning the updated wallet
+(with `reward_chips` gating the "watch for chips" CTA), and a **contour test stub** (`VITE_ADS_STUB` →
+a toast instead of a real ad; prod always real). A temporary diagnostic confirmed on the contour that
+VK returns **only `{result:true}`** (no token/signature) — client-attested is final, no hardening
+possible; the diagnostic is removed. The slice also **corrects the VK-iOS freeze to purchase-only**
+(rewarded on VK-iOS earns chips, which the old blanket "spend freeze" then blocked from spending —
+Apple forbids only *buying* in-app values, not spending or earning them; `vkFrozen()` now gates only
+`CreateOrder`, not `spendableSources`, so VK-wallet chips spend on VK-iOS). Delivered on
+`feature/ads-interstitial` (the **interstitial + D31** slice): the post-move fullscreen interstitial
+as a **client-mirrored** gate — the backend `adsFor` puts the config cooldowns + a `suppressed` flag
+(the no-ads / `no_banner` gate, same as the banner) on the profile (`Profile.ads`), and
+`ui/src/lib/ads.ts` `maybeShowInterstitial` self-gates on the last-shown time per kind in
+`localStorage`, showing a VK interstitial (`vkShowInterstitial`) after a **confirmed play or a hint
+only** (never a pass / exchange / resign), VK-only, offline banner-only, with the same `VITE_ADS_STUB`
+toast on the contour. The slice also lands **D31 step 1 (contract-code)**: the domain no longer reads
+or writes the deprecated `accounts.hint_balance` / `paid_account` columns — the `Account` fields, the
+dead `account.SpendHint`, `account.GrantHints` and the admin **grant-hints** action are removed, and

+  3=friends), set on creation (`StartVsAI`=1, `Enqueue`=2, a friend invitation=3). Existing games
+  stay 0 and fall outside the gate.
+- **Limits are per-tier × per-kind**, in a **new single-row `backend.config`** table:

+  **`-1`=unlimited**), seeded `(1,1,0, 10,10,10)`. A guest is capped at 1 vs_ai + 1 random (friends
+  is moot — the guest gate blocks friend games); a durable account is **10 per kind** — the old flat
+  MaxActiveQuickGames=10, now split per kind. Editable in the admin.
+- **The old flat cap is removed** (option A, owner-agreed): `MaxActiveQuickGames`,
+  `CountActiveQuickGames`, `atGameLimit` deleted; the per-tier/kind config is the single mechanism,
+  enforced at the **same handler gate** (`ensureUnderGameLimit(kind)` for `enqueue`
+  random/vs_ai) plus the durable **friends cap** inside `CreateInvitation`. The gate stays out of the
+  game domain — `game.Service.AtGameLimit(account, kind)` only resolves tier + counts.
+- **A hot in-memory cache** fronts the config (read once on start, invalidated on the admin edit —
+  mirrors the payments read-cache) so a login / game-create never queries it.
+- **"Active" = `open` + `active`** (an open, unmatched random game holds a slot); the limit is on
+  **creation** — an existing game is grandfathered, never interrupted.
+- **Limits ride the wire (forward-compat, no double break):** `Profile.game_limits`
+  (`GameLimits{vs_ai, random, friends}` — the caller's tier resolved server-side) + `GameView.kind`,
+  so the client counts active games **per kind** from its lobby and locks the right start button. On
+  a guest → durable upgrade (register / link) the client **re-fetches the profile** so the new
+  (durable) limits apply. The client picks the lock's message by tier: a **guest** → the login funnel;
+  a **durable** account at its cap → a plain "finish a current game first" notice.

+  elsewhere, with two messages by tier: a **guest** sign-in funnel ("Войдите или создайте учётную
+  запись…", Отмена / Вход→`/settings`) and, for a **durable** account at its cap, a plain notice
+  ("Вы достигли лимита одновременных игр, сначала завершите текущие", ОК). The lock lifts via the

+  - **Decision (owner-agreed): the lobby's old `at_game_limit` New-Game tab-disable + notice is
