fix(security): cap recovery-identity state (Tier C F-01 follow-up)
Closes the remaining insider resource-exhaustion vector the Codex Tier C
audit flagged: the active-roster cap bounds the live peer map, but a member
could join (<=32), drop the link without a signed Leave, let the grace timer
expire, and repeat with a fresh identity. Each abandoned identity grew two
unbounded structures and kept doing periodic work forever:

  - known_peers[topic] (the retained rejoin/recovery dial table) was only
    pruned on a signed PeerLeft, so grace-evicted ghosts accumulated.
  - the recovery coordinator's active set + entries map had no identity cap
    and no terminal retry budget — backoff saturated at 60s and re-dialed a
    never-returning peer indefinitely.

Two non-breaking, dependency-free bounds (no wire/protocol change):

  - MAX_RETAINED_PEERS=64 per topic via pure admit_retained() — refreshing a
    tracked peer always succeeds, a brand-new identity is rejected when full.
    Set above MAX_ACTIVE_PEERS=32 so legitimate rooms never hit it.
  - RECOVERY_TERMINAL_ATTEMPTS=12 (~7 min) via pure recovery_is_terminal():
    the coordinator gives up, frees the active slot, and signals a new
    terminal channel; a small drain task forgets the retained address (so the
    table self-drains), scrubs seen-connected state, and emits
    PeerConnectionFailed.

Giving up never blocks a legitimate reconnect: a peer returning after a long
outage still rejoins on its own via a gossip announce — terminal eviction only
stops us from dialing a peer that is not coming back, which was a latent leak
even absent an attacker.

+2 pure-seam unit tests (admit_retained, recovery_is_terminal); 418 lib tests
green, clippy --all-targets clean.
