jaap-jan 3829217e8a Add sync engine: cursors, push/pull, and the advisory-lock ordering proof (M1)
The vault write path. Push is the only way items change — no per-entity POST/PUT/DELETE —
so one place enforces revisions, the change log and access control.

The concurrency hazard, now proven rather than asserted:
bigserial assigns sequence values when the INSERT runs, not at commit, so transaction A
can take sequence 5 while B takes 6 and commits first. A reader polling in between sees
only 6, advances past 5, and never learns about it. AdvisoryLockOrderingTests reproduces
that gap WITHOUT the lock first — otherwise the with-lock test proves nothing, since it
would pass just as happily if the interleaving never occurred — then shows
pg_advisory_xact_lock removes it, and that 12 concurrent writers produce no gaps.

Cursors are opaque and HMAC-tagged, and carry their vault id. 29 unit tests cover the
rejections, which are the point: an accepted-but-wrong cursor is silent data loss, strictly
worse than an error a client can resync from. Rejected: tampered tag, tampered payload,
foreign signing key, a legitimately-issued cursor from another vault, truncation, and
hostile input (never throws — cursors come from clients).

Push semantics:
- 200 even on partial failure, with per-operation status, so one stale item cannot block
  everything a client queued while offline.
- Conflict returns the server's current row for client-side three-way merge. The server
  cannot merge ciphertext, so never last-writer-wins.
- opId receipts make retries exactly-once per operation, not per batch — a client retrying
  a partially-overlapping batch after a timeout would otherwise double-apply what landed.
- A tombstone beats a late upsert, and delete clears hostname/port: leaving the address
  would keep the server able to resolve a host the user believes they deleted.
- Relay field validation mirrors the DB CHECK so a bad request is a clear Invalid rather
  than a constraint violation surfacing as a 500.

Authorization goes through IVaultAccessService, which returns the same answer for "absent"
and "forbidden" — distinguishing them is an existence oracle for other tenants' vault ids.
Team vaults are explicitly denied until M3 rather than falling through to a permissive
default. JIT provisioning keys on (issuer, subject), never email, and handles the
concurrent-first-request race via the unique index.

Renamed two domain types: Host -> SshHost, because Host collides with
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Host in every file of a web project, and SyncChange ->
VaultChange to stop it colliding with the Contracts DTO of the same name. Aliasing at every
use site would have been permanent friction.

Worth noting: `ef migrations has-pending-model-changes` reported clean after those renames
even though the snapshot still said "DodoSSH.Domain.Host" — it diffs tables, not CLR type
names. The snapshot was regenerated and the emitted DDL diffed against the previous
artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql to confirm the rename produced no schema change.

Also removed ConfigureAwait(false) from test methods: xUnit1030 flags it as bypassing
parallelization limits, which is why MA0004 is suppressed in test projects.

Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 146 tests pass (up from 122), format clean.

Endpoint-level tests are the immediate next step: they need a WireMock OIDC/JWKS stub and
real JWT minting, so the "wrong user is denied" matrix does not exist yet for these two
routes. The service-layer authorization and the concurrency property are covered.

jaap-jan eaf68c86b0 Add data model, DbContext and initial migration (M1)
Schema for identity, vaults, grants, hosts and the sync change log, verified against a
real PostgreSQL 18 container rather than an in-memory provider: partial unique indexes,
CHECK constraints, citext and identity-always columns are all provider behaviour that an
in-memory fake would not exercise.

Invariants pushed into the database, so they hold even when application code has a bug:
- ck_host_relay_target is a security boundary, not tidiness. A host may carry a plaintext
  hostname and port ONLY when relay is deliberately enabled. Both directions are tested;
  the important one is that relay-disabled hosts cannot carry an address, since otherwise
  a bug would silently give the server infrastructure visibility it was never granted.
- ck_vault_owner: exactly one of owner_user_id or team_id, or permission resolution would
  have no defined answer.
- ck_vault_key_grant_recipient: member grants name a user; recovery and escrow grants are
  wrapped to a key and must not.
- ck_user_key_wrap_kdf: a password-derived wrap without its parameters is permanently
  unopenable, so a partial write is rejected outright.

Present from the first migration on purpose:
- GrantKind (Member/Recovery/Escrow). Recovery cannot be bolted on later — every vault
  created before it existed would be unrecoverable by design.
- team and team_membership, though team features are M3. Adding them later would mean
  introducing a foreign key on a live vault table.
- Host.ContentKeyId, reserved for per-item content keys wrapped to individual users.
- user_key as its own table, so key rotation does not require altering the user row.

Two things verified rather than assumed:
- Npgsql's UseXminAsConcurrencyToken helper no longer exists in EF 10, so xmin is mapped
  directly in XminConcurrency. The generated migration *looks* like it creates an xmin
  column; it does not. Confirmed by inspecting pg_attribute (attnum -2, a system column)
  and by grepping the emitted DDL. A test pins both, because had it created a real column
  PostgreSQL would have rejected the name.
- EF Core is now pinned centrally. The Npgsql provider asks for 10.0.4 while
  EntityFrameworkCore.Design pulls 10.0.10, and because Design is PrivateAssets=all that
  higher version does not flow to referencing projects — producing a CS1705 in any test
  project referencing Infrastructure.

Also commits artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql, the idempotent script, as the baseline for future
upgrade tests.

Verified: 0 warnings, 122 tests pass (27 new against Postgres), format clean.
