Bound the rate limiter's bucket dict (B-56)

_buckets is keyed by strings the caller chooses — any username, and (before
B-54) any IP — and only ever grew: decay_seconds aged a bucket's counter but
never removed the entry, so hammering login with random usernames was an
unbounded memory leak.

A bucket is "spent" once its lockout has expired *and* its failure count would
decay to zero on the next failure anyway — at which point keeping it and
dropping it are indistinguishable, which is what makes eviction safe. Those are
swept on record_failure (at most once every 60s) and on the read path, so a key
that's merely being probed never leaves an entry behind. That alone holds the
dict at the size of the genuinely active attack surface.

_MAX_BUCKETS = 50_000 is the backstop for a burst faster than the sweep
interval, when nothing has had time to expire. Over it, the entries closest to
expiry go first: what an attacker gets from a successful flood is the loss of
the shallowest, nearly-over lockouts, never the deep ones actually holding an
attack back.

## Project status
All 10 stages of the original build order are code-complete and unit-tested — 281 tests, all under `tests/unit/` (`tests/integration/` is an empty package). Beyond them: Docker + Caddy deployment, admin dashboard (`/admin`), static test UI (`/`), pending-inclusive balance display, an SSE push channel layered over the original polling, self-service password change + admin password reset, and the reconciliation/corroboration machinery below.

Verified on mainnet with real money: registration + address derivation, deposit crediting (1-conf), a real 10 PLM bet (broadcast → confirmed → change credited back), and one full round cycle (close → draw on a real block hash → 70/30 payout with sat math checked against the broadcast tx → confirmation → close → next round auto-opened). **Withdrawal and the RBF bump path have never been exercised against a live broadcast** — unit-tested only.
