2a602d5289 fix(tunnel): close the three leftovers from the renewal-deadlock fix
1. `.gitignore` swallowed a source file. `agent/src/dist/buildBinary.ts` is the
   packaging config, not build output, but the blanket `dist/` rule meant it was
   never committed — a fresh clone could neither typecheck `agent/src/index.ts`
   nor import it from the committed `agent/test/buildBinary.test.ts`. Re-included
   the DIRECTORY first (git does not descend into an excluded one, so un-ignoring
   just the file would not have worked) and committed the file. Verified build
   output under `agent/dist/`, `dist/`, `public/build/` is still ignored.

2. Tunnel logs named no host. `pair` learned hostId/subdomain from the enroll
   response and threw them away, so the long-running `run` process logged
   `{"subdomain":null,"hostId":null}` — including all 6380 warnings during the
   8-day outage, at exactly the moment you want to know which host. New
   `config/hostRecord.ts` persists them at enrol; `resolveHostIdentity` resolves
   config > record > the subdomain embedded in the leaf's SPIFFE SAN, so hosts
   enrolled before the record existed get an identifier back without re-pairing.

3. The phone track had no recovery path. Added `POST /device/:id/recover`,
   mirroring the host route: cert in the body, device-CA path validation, SPIFFE
   parse, `notBefore` never graced, and the full registry check (active + same
   account + `:id` matches the cert + same key) — only `notAfter` is relaxed.

Verified: agent 300/300, control-plane 296/296, tsc clean on both.
NOTE: the iOS/Android clients are not wired to call /device/:id/recover yet —
the server capability exists, the client-side trigger does not.

5509c81eee fix(tunnel): recover an expired leaf over plain HTTPS, not mTLS
Correction to the previous commit. Its recovery vhost could not work: nginx
will not forward an expired client certificate in ANY `ssl_verify_client` mode.
`optional` answers a bare `400 The SSL certificate error` before any location
runs, and `optional_no_ca` only tolerates CHAIN failures — see nginx's
`ngx_ssl_verify_error_optional()`, which covers self-signed / unknown-issuer /
unverifiable-leaf and NOT `X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED`. Verified live against
the deployed :8472 server, which rejected the real expired leaf.

So recovery drops mTLS instead of trying to bend it:

- agent: `buildTlsOptions` and the mTLS renew transport go back to being
  strictly fail-closed on expiry — the relaxation is gone from the TLS layer
  entirely. The rotator now decides per attempt: valid → mTLS `/renew`,
  expired-inside-grace → plain `/recover`, expired-beyond-grace → terminal
  `onExhausted` with no request issued at all.
- new `recoverCert` POSTs `{cert, csr}` with no client certificate. Possession
  of the private key is still proven: the CSR is self-signed by it and the host
  signer already enforces CSR PoP plus `CSR key == registered key`, so a
  replayed (public) cert without the key yields at most a certificate the
  attacker cannot authenticate with.
- control-plane: `/renew` is strict again (grace 0, matching the terminator).
  The grace lives on the new `POST /recover`, which reads the cert from the BODY
  and ignores the `x-client-cert` header, then runs the identical trust
  pipeline: X.509 path validation to the frp-client-CA anchors, SPIFFE parse,
  `notBefore` (never graced), registry `active` + account match. Revocation
  still bites.
- deploy: no new vhost, no new SNI, no DNS. One `location = /recover` merged
  into the existing enroll vhost, documented in
  `deploy/nginx/enroll-recover-location.md` with the nginx source citation.

The load-bearing new test is "a self-signed cert with a FORGED SPIFFE SAN is
refused → 401": nginx no longer validates the chain on this path, so that
assertion is what keeps `/recover` from being a cert vending machine.

Verified: agent 289/289, control-plane 290/290, tsc clean on both.
