fix(a7-auth): publish dummy-key sidecar atomically and harden reads

Address review findings on the persistent dummy-key sidecar:

- Publish atomically: write a private same-directory temp file
  (<store>.dummykey.tmp.<pid>, 0600), fsync, then link(2) into place;
  fsync the containing directory and drop the temp name. A concurrent
  starter can no longer observe a zero/partial sidecar and fail closed.
  On EEXIST adopt the winner's sidecar; otherwise warn and use a
  transient ephemeral key.
- Harden the read path (initial and EEXIST-adopt) with
  O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC: reject planted symlinks
  (ELOOP fails closed) and never block on a planted FIFO.
- Require the exact owner-only mode (st_mode & 07777) == 0600 and make
  the rejection message truthful.
- Report a clear "short write" instead of a stale strerror(errno) when
  write() returns 0.
- Document the artifact and its creation-failure caveat (FIFO store
  path, read-only filesystem, missing directory) in README.md and
  RSYNC_COMPAT.md.
- Tests: known-key sidecar adoption (dummy salt KAT + reload), symlink
  rejection, and the exact-0600 rule (0400 now rejected).

(mode 0600) `<store>.dummykey` sidecar next to the store: it holds the store-wide
dummy key, is auto-created on first load, and must be preserved across daemon
restarts so the dummy challenge for an unknown user stays stable (the key is
never regenerated while the sidecar exists). One residual is accepted: the store
never regenerated while the sidecar exists). If the sidecar cannot be created
(process-substitution/FIFO store path such as `/dev/fd/N`, a read-only
filesystem, or a missing directory), the daemon logs a warning and uses a
transient key, so the cross-restart guarantee does not hold for those

- **Module selection & confinement:** the client requests a module with an rsync-style `host::module[/path]` destination. The module name crosses the wire as a trailing string on the config frame (bumping `PROTOCOL_VERSION` 2.14.0 → 2.15.0; the bump is required because the config-frame layout changed and the strict same-version handshake is what prevents a peer from desynchronizing on the new trailing field). The daemon looks the module up in ITS OWN config and uses the module's `path` as the authorized root through the exact same `configure_authorization` confinement the standalone server applies to `--destination-root` (`file_open_secure_parent`, `has_path_traversal`, `path_is_within`); the client never supplies the root, every client-chosen-ownership/super-user request is refused unless the module declares `client owner = yes` (the daemon's per-module opt-in, see below), and the operator `--no-super` veto forces super-user activities off for every daemon connection. The client's `/path` part is relative inside the module and is rejected if absolute or if it contains `..`. Unknown modules are refused before any data moves (the run fails cleanly at the config handshake). An absolute destination and a module request against a non-daemon server are also refused.
- **`client owner` (client-chosen-ownership opt-in):** by default a daemon module refuses every request that would let the client pick an owner or ask for super-user activities — `--numeric-ids`, `--chown`, `--usermap`/`--groupmap`, `--fake-super`, `--copy-as`, and an explicit `--super` — at the config handshake (before `STATUS_OK`), because a daemon has no per-module opt-in for client-chosen ownership and any anonymous client could otherwise force arbitrary owner ids inside the module root. `client owner = yes` opts a single module in, allowing those requests within that module's root (the standalone listener and the SSH `--stdio` server always honor them for their single operator-authorized root). Without the opt-in the daemon also forces super-user **device** activity off for that connection — char/block device-node creation (`--devices`) and `--write-devices` — even under the default `AUTO` mode, so a non-opted module can never be made to `mknod` or write a raw device; those entries are skipped (not refused) so an ordinary `-a` push still succeeds without device nodes. The opt-in does **not** lift the privilege requirement: `--copy-as` still needs a root receiver, and the operator `--no-super` veto still forces super-user activities off for every connection. The daemon logs a prominent startup warning for each `client owner = yes` module so the operator's deliberate choice is visible.
- **`read only` safe default:** every network transfer FastSync currently supports is a push that writes under the module root, so a `read only` module refuses the connection (clear server log "module is read only"; the client exits non-zero, nothing is transferred). A future pull/list operation can be opened up when it exists; the knob is already stored.
- **`auth users` (A7 SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication):** a module that declares `auth users` requires the client to present credentials. The config frame carries ONLY the username; the daemon answers an auth-required module with `STATUS_AUTH_CHALLENGE` (PBKDF2 iteration count, 16-byte salt, 32-byte server nonce), the client answers with `STATUS_AUTH_RESPONSE` (fresh 32-byte client nonce + a 32-byte ClientProof), and the daemon accepts only when the proof verifies **and** the username is **on the module's `auth users` list** and has a store entry, replying `STATUS_AUTH_OK` with a 32-byte ServerSignature the client verifies before proceeding. Verification is constant-time over fixed 32-byte keys (the compare runs even for a miss), username membership uses a constant-time full-length scan, and an unknown/off-list user still receives a challenge and runs the same math against a dummy verifier: a deterministic per-username salt (`HMAC-SHA256(store dummy key, username)`), the store-wide uniform iteration count and dummy keys. Re-probing the same unknown username therefore yields an identical salt and iteration count while a different username yields a different salt, so there is no user-enumeration or timing oracle. The daemon logs the username but **never the password, proof or keys**. A module WITHOUT `auth users` stays open (legitimate rsync configuration); credentials sent to such a module are ignored. Read-only is orthogonal: even a correctly authenticated push to a `read only` module is still refused (all FastSync network transfers write). Fail-closed policy: a daemon whose config declares `auth users` on any module refuses to start unless a credential store was given (`--password-file` and/or `--early-input`); a missing or empty store is never silently treated as "open". A failed handshake (missing credentials, unknown/off-list user, wrong proof or malformed data) yields a single generic `STATUS_AUTH_FAILED` and the daemon closes before any data moves. The dummy key is persisted in an owner-only `<store_path>.dummykey` sidecar (auto-created on first load, mode 0600) so the dummy salt stays stable across daemon restarts, closing the restart-gated enumeration channel. One residual is accepted: the store iteration count is observable pre-auth by design, since the miss path must match a hit.
- **Credential store format:** server `--password-file`/`--early-input` files are line-based `user:$fastsync$1$pbkdf2-sha256$<iters>$<salt_b64>$<stored_key_b64>$<server_key_b64>`, one per line (standard base64; 16-byte salt, 32-byte keys; `iters` in `[100000, 10000000]`, default 600000). Every entry in the resulting store must agree on `iters` (a store whose entries disagree, or where a layered `--early-input` disagrees with `--password-file`, is rejected). Generate lines with `fastsync-server --hash-credentials FILE [--iterations N]`; the emitted lines are secret material, so redirect them to an owner-only (mode 0600) file (the tool warns on stderr if stdout is a group/other-accessible regular file). Blank lines and lines starting with `#`/`;` are comments; the parser is strict (a malformed line fails the whole load, so a typo can never let a different set of users in). **The legacy `user:SHA256HEX` form is hard-rejected** with an actionable "legacy" error; there is no auto-upgrade, so a replayable bearer digest can never be loaded by a 2.19.0 daemon. The client `--password-file` holds `user:password` on its first meaningful line (the literal password, used only for the handshake then burned); keep both files readable only by their owner (mode 0600). Per-username wire length is bounded (256 chars) and every decoded salt/key length is validated. Loading the store also maintains an owner-only `<store_path>.dummykey` sidecar (auto-created, mode 0600, exactly 32 bytes) holding the store-wide dummy key that shapes unknown-user challenges; persist it across daemon restarts so those challenges stay stable, and treat a sidecar with the wrong owner, permissions, size or type as a fatal load error (fail closed).
- **`auth users` (A7 SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication):** a module that declares `auth users` requires the client to present credentials. The config frame carries ONLY the username; the daemon answers an auth-required module with `STATUS_AUTH_CHALLENGE` (PBKDF2 iteration count, 16-byte salt, 32-byte server nonce), the client answers with `STATUS_AUTH_RESPONSE` (fresh 32-byte client nonce + a 32-byte ClientProof), and the daemon accepts only when the proof verifies **and** the username is **on the module's `auth users` list** and has a store entry, replying `STATUS_AUTH_OK` with a 32-byte ServerSignature the client verifies before proceeding.

Re-probing the same unknown username therefore yields an identical salt and iteration count while a different username yields a different salt, so there is no user-enumeration or timing oracle. The daemon logs the username but **never the password, proof or keys**. A module WITHOUT `auth users` stays open (legitimate rsync configuration); credentials sent to such a module are ignored.

The dummy key is persisted in an owner-only `<store_path>.dummykey` sidecar (auto-created on first load, mode 0600) so the dummy salt stays stable across daemon restarts, closing the restart-gated enumeration channel. The sidecar must be preserved across restarts for that guarantee; if it cannot be created (a process-substitution/FIFO store path such as `/dev/fd/N`, a read-only filesystem, or a missing directory), the daemon logs a warning and uses a transient per-run key, so unknown-user challenges change across restarts and the cross-restart guarantee does not hold for that deployment. One residual is accepted: the store iteration count is observable pre-auth by design, since the miss path must match a hit.
- **Credential store format:** server `--password-file`/`--early-input` files are line-based `user:$fastsync$1$pbkdf2-sha256$<iters>$<salt_b64>$<stored_key_b64>$<server_key_b64>`, one per line (standard base64; 16-byte salt, 32-byte keys; `iters` in `[100000, 10000000]`, default 600000). Every entry in the resulting store must agree on `iters` (a store whose entries disagree, or where a layered `--early-input` disagrees with `--password-file`, is rejected).

The client `--password-file` holds `user:password` on its first meaningful line (the literal password, used only for the handshake then burned); keep both files readable only by their owner (mode 0600). Per-username wire length is bounded (256 chars) and every decoded salt/key length is validated. Loading the store also maintains an owner-only `<store_path>.dummykey` sidecar (auto-created, mode 0600, exactly 32 bytes) holding the store-wide dummy key that shapes unknown-user challenges; persist it across daemon restarts so those challenges stay stable, and treat a sidecar with the wrong owner, a mode other than exactly 0600, the wrong size or the wrong type as a fatal load error (fail closed). If the sidecar cannot be created (e.g. a process-substitution store path such as `/dev/fd/N`, a read-only filesystem, or a missing directory), the daemon logs a warning and uses a transient per-run key, so the cross-restart stability guarantee does not hold there.
- **Plaintext caveat:** over a plaintext (non-TLS) daemon a sniffer can read the challenge and response and mount an **offline dictionary attack** against a weak password, so use `--tls` for any real deployment. Unlike the old challenge-less exchange there is **no replay**: the proof is bound to the fresh per-connection server nonce, so a captured `STATUS_AUTH_RESPONSE` cannot be reused on another connection (an integration test proxies the daemon and proves this). The daemon logs a warning when an auth-required module is reached over plaintext. TLS client-CN (`--client-cn`) is an independent transport identity check and composes with password auth: both may be required on the same connection.
- **Wire/protocol:** the config-frame auth block is now `[int present][str_redacted username]` (the old digest field is gone), and the frame stream gains the challenge/response (`STATUS_AUTH_CHALLENGE` → `STATUS_AUTH_RESPONSE` → `STATUS_AUTH_OK`/`STATUS_AUTH_FAILED`) between the config frame and the `STATUS_OK` ack. Both are wire-layout changes, so `PROTOCOL_VERSION` is bumped **2.18.0 → 2.19.0** (see the A7 note in `src/shared/config.h`); the strict same-version handshake keeps a 2.19 client and a 2.18 server from desynchronizing.
- **Client side:** `host::module/path` selects the TCP transport and connects to `--server-port`; `host:path` stays the SSH transport; plain paths stay local TCP. The daemon username comes from `--password-file` (first `user:password` line), and `--password-file` without a `host::module/path` destination is a client error (fail fast). A `user@host::module` form is rejected with a pointer to `--password-file`. The client's plaintext password is wiped from memory (`config_burn_auth`) at transfer teardown.
