* fix(hub): constrain what a federated peer hub can do (MHP)Christophe Besson2026-09-011-0/+179
A registered peer was trusted with more than "advertise your own public groups": - `receive_directory` set `source_hub` from `body.hub_id`, so a peer could relay or spoof a third hub's groups into our directory. It is now bound to the token's verified `iss`. The push is also capped (500 groups/request, 2000/peer), rows are type- and length-checked, and a federated id that collides with a local group is refused so it cannot shadow one. - `receive_revocation` forwarded the peer's token to local nodes, which reject a token signed by another hub's key — a silent no-op, and there is no local node hosting a federated group anyway. It now verifies the inner token against the sending peer's key and, for `target == "group"`, prunes our copy of the peer's directory entry when `source_hub` matches. A peer cannot revoke our users or a group it did not advertise. - The state-changing endpoints (`POST /mhp/directory`, `/mhp/revoke`) now reject a replayed `jti` within the token's TTL. Audience binding is unavailable — the sending side that would set `aud` is unbuilt — and this covers the replay concern in its place; the idempotent `GET /mhp/directory` is not affected.
