Yaojia Wang f3f4d8baa6 fix(tunnel): break the expired-leaf renewal deadlock
`POST /renew` is authenticated by mTLS with the very leaf it renews, so once
that leaf lapsed the host could never renew it and the tunnel stayed down until
an operator re-paired by hand. Production hit exactly this: the Mac slept
through its 8h renewal window, the 24h leaf expired, and the agent then logged
`client certificate has expired; renew before dialling` 6380 times over 8 days
without recovering.

Three layers independently refused an expired leaf, so all three had to move:

- agent `buildTlsOptions` gains an opt-in `expiredGraceMs`. Absent/0 keeps the
  historical fail-closed behaviour, and the TUNNEL dial never passes it — only
  the renew transport does. Past the window it throws the new
  `CertExpiredBeyondGraceError`.
- agent rotator routes an already-expired leaf to a separate recovery endpoint
  and treats "beyond grace" as TERMINAL: report once via `onExhausted`, stop
  retrying, and name the fix (re-pair) instead of spamming warnings forever.
- control-plane `assertPresentedCertTrusted` grants a bounded grace on
  `notAfter` only. Chain validation, SPIFFE identity, `notBefore`, and the
  registry `active`/account checks are all unchanged, so revocation still bites.
- new `deploy/nginx/recover-mtls.conf` (:8472). The strict enroll vhost cannot
  host this: under `ssl_verify_client optional` nginx answers a bare 400 as soon
  as a presented cert fails verification, so an expired leaf never reaches the
  location — and the directive is server-level, not per-location.

Grace defaults to 30 days on both ends and is configurable (`RECOVER_URL`,
`expiredRenewGraceMs`). The honest trade is recorded in the code: a stale stolen
leaf stays reusable for the window, which widens an existing exposure (an
unexpired stolen leaf already renews indefinitely) rather than opening a new one.

Verified: agent 296/296, control-plane 286/286, tsc clean on both.

# Stream SNI additions (Native mTLS tunnel · V5)
Two SNI routes must be **merged into the existing** `stream { map $ssl_preread_server_name … }`
block on the VPS (`/etc/nginx/stream-relay.conf`). They add the frp control channel and the
`*.terminal` data path to the single shared `:443` `ssl_preread` listener.
> **This is a MERGE, not a file to ship.** Do **not** drop a full stream conf here — that would
> clobber the live one. Only the two `map` body lines below are new.
## The two additive lines
Add these **inside the existing `map` body** (exact match wins over wildcard, so order is not
load-bearing, but keep the exact `frp.terminal` line above the `*.terminal` wildcard for clarity):
```nginx
frp.terminal.yaojia.wang 127.0.0.1:7000; # frps control channel (TLS passthrough)
*.terminal.yaojia.wang 127.0.0.1:8470; # nginx :8470 TLS-term + device-CA mTLS (frp-mtls.conf)
```
### Later addition — expired-leaf recovery (recover-mtls.conf)
```nginx
recover.terminal.yaojia.wang 127.0.0.1:8472; # expired-leaf re-issue (recover-mtls.conf)
```
**Order IS load-bearing for this one**: it must sit ABOVE the `*.terminal.yaojia.wang` wildcard, the
same way `enroll.terminal.yaojia.wang` does. `hostnames` gives exact matches priority over wildcards
in nginx's `map`, so a correctly-placed line wins regardless — but keep the exact-match lines grouped
above the wildcard so a future editor cannot mis-read the intent. No DNS work is needed: the zone is
already served by the wildcard record `*.terminal.yaojia.wang → <vps>`.
## Coexistence warning (do NOT retype the existing lines)
The existing `map` body already contains — and MUST be preserved **verbatim**:
```nginx
# ... existing hostnames directive ...
*.term.yaojia.wang 127.0.0.1:8443; # E2E browser relay — DO NOT RETYPE / REORDER
default 127.0.0.1:10443; # xray Reality — DO NOT RETYPE / REORDER
```
- `*.term.yaojia.wang` (browser relay) and `*.terminal.yaojia.wang` (this tunnel) are **different
parent labels** — `term` vs `terminal`. `ssl_preread` matches the full SNI, so they never collide.
- Re-type nothing you did not author. Capture the current body first
(`nginx -T | sed -n '/map \$ssl_preread_server_name/,/}/p'`), then append only the two lines above.
## Deploy gate
```bash
cp /etc/nginx/stream-relay.conf{,.bak.$(date +%s)} # snapshot first
# ...edit: append the two lines into the map body...
nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx # NEVER reload on a failed -t
```
After reload, run the 4-zone SNI oracle (`openssl s_client -servername …` for
`frp.terminal` / `<name>.terminal` / `<name>.term` / default) to confirm all four routes still
resolve to the right backend (PLAN V5 / M1 #7).
