Security hardening: Address Phase 2 GAT implementation vulnerabilities

[bug-ops]

PR: Security hardening - Address Phase 2 GAT implementation vulnerabilities

Summary

• Implement bounded iteration for all filter operations with MAX_SCAN_LIMIT (10,000) and MAX_RESULTS_LIMIT (1,000)
• Add explicit NotFound errors for operations on non-existent resources
• Add input validation for Pagination, SessionQueryCriteria, and StreamFilter
• Document DashMap iteration consistency guarantees

Test plan

• All 2593 existing tests pass
• New validation tests cover edge cases (zero limits, overflow, min > max)
• Verified zero clippy warnings
• Clean Architecture maintained - no domain layer changes

Implementation Details

Phase 1 (commit c01046e) - Critical/High Priority Fixes

DoS Mitigation:

• Added MAX_SCAN_LIMIT: 10_000 and MAX_RESULTS_LIMIT: 1_000 constants
• Implemented bounded iteration in find_sessions_by_criteria with early termination
• Implemented bounded iteration in find_streams_by_session
• Added filter_limited() method to InMemoryStore<K, V>

Error Handling:

• Changed update_stream_status to return NotFound for non-existent streams
• Changed get_stream_statistics to return NotFound for non-existent streams
• Changed get_session_health to return NotFound for non-existent sessions

Input Validation:

• Implemented Pagination::validate() with MAX_LIMIT: 1_000 and MAX_OFFSET: 1_000_000
• Implemented SessionQueryCriteria::validate() with min/max consistency checks

Phase 2 (commit 4100aa5) - Medium Priority Improvements

Additional Validation:

• Implemented StreamFilter::validate() for priority range validation
• Enhanced validation with empty states check

Documentation:

• Documented DashMap iteration consistency guarantees in code comments
• Added RACE-001 documentation for concurrent access patterns

Memory Optimizations:

• Used fixed-size arrays for health metrics (MAX_HEALTH_METRICS)
• Implemented efficient saturating casts for integer conversions

Caching:

• Added session-level aggregated statistics caching
• Implemented incremental stat updates to reduce iteration overhead

Pull request overview

This PR implements comprehensive security hardening for Phase 2 GAT implementations, addressing 11 identified vulnerabilities related to denial-of-service attacks, error handling, input validation, and memory optimization.

Changes:

• Implements bounded iteration with MAX_SCAN_LIMIT (10,000) and MAX_RESULTS_LIMIT (10,000) to prevent DoS attacks from unbounded queries
• Adds explicit NotFound errors for operations on non-existent sessions and streams, preventing timing oracles and silent failures
• Implements input validation for Pagination, SessionQueryCriteria, and StreamFilter with range checks and SQL injection protection via field whitelisting
• Adds TTL-based session statistics caching to reduce iteration overhead for health checks
• Documents DashMap weakly-consistent iteration guarantees throughout the codebase

• Missing validation for StreamFilter parameter in find_streams_by_session. The filter parameter should be validated by calling filter.validate() before use, similar to how find_sessions_by_criteria validates both criteria and pagination parameters. This is especially important given that INPUT-003 specifically addresses StreamFilter validation for priority ranges.

Add validation at the start of the function: filter.validate()?;

    fn find_streams_by_session(
        &self,
        session_id: SessionId,
        filter: StreamFilter,
    ) -> Self::FindStreamsBySessionFuture<'_> {
        async move {
            // DOS-002 fix: Use bounded iteration
            let (streams, _) = self.store.filter_limited(
                |stream| Self::matches_stream_filter(stream, session_id, &filter),
                MAX_RESULTS_LIMIT,
                MAX_SCAN_LIMIT,
            );

            Ok(streams)
        }
    }
