Jinwoo Hong 8d61cb8b77 fix(relay): survivable mobile pairing recovery + desktop assign rate gate (#16659)
* fix(mobile): retry the stored assignment when the director reports no newer move

A director answering /v1/connect can only reply relay-moved with the stored
assignment; it has no 'assignment unchanged' verb, and sticky assignments make
equal-epoch replies the steady state. Treating every non-newer move as fatal
made pairing recovery unwinnable for any transient cell dial failure (DRAINING,
1006), which bricked off-LAN pairing on Android 0.0.44.

A non-newer move now confirms the stored assignment: the candidate re-dials it
with a 250ms floor instead of abandoning the relay path. The move is never
adopted or persisted, so the anti-rollback contract (requireStrictlyNewerEpoch
for persisted moves) is unchanged. 4429 stays out of director recovery: each
cell dial burns an invite attempt server-side and a director hop cannot relieve
cell load.

* fix(mobile): honor relay director Retry-After when pacing recovery

Mobile /v1/resolve collapsed every non-OK status into a generic error and
discarded Retry-After, so overloaded windows produced hammering instead of
paced retries. RelayDirectorHttpError now carries status and retryAfterMs
(clamped to 120s), and the reconnect controller floors its existing transport
delay with it — no new timers or retry state. The Retry-After parser is
extracted from the desktop relay client into src/shared and reused by both.

* fix(mobile): attribute pairing log lines to their candidate path

The pairing race interleaves the direct LAN and relay candidates into one
PAIRING LOG pane; direct lines (WebSocket closed, Reconnecting 10.x.x.x:6768)
carried no path label and repeatedly read as Relay retrying a private IP —
misleading users and two investigations. The coordinator now wraps each
candidate's sink with an idempotent Direct:/Relay: prefix at the one seam
where both paths are known.

* fix(relay): gate desktop /v1/assign at the per-host rate limit

The director rate-limits /v1/assign per host at 5s, but every desktop retry
path could fire immediately: both schedulers draw full jitter from [0, cap]
(floor 0), first attempts after a drain are undelayed, the 400-fallbacks issue
up to 3 assigns per round trip, and reconcile() cancels the armed Retry-After
timer from ~8 refreshDemand callers. Production shows hosts permanently
rejected at ~100-200 rejects per success.

A shared per-host gate now lives inside requestRelayAssignment — the single
assign call site — so every path books a >=5s (+jitter) slot. Retry-After
raises the gate persistently, surviving the coordinator's timer cancellation.
Concurrent callers serialize through a per-key chain. Callers with staleness
fencing pass isCurrent; a superseded caller aborts after the wait instead of
spending the host's slot. Internal 400-fallback retries stay one logical
attempt and do not re-enter the gate.

* refactor(mobile): rename the log-only assignment-echo predicate

isCurrentAssignmentMove no longer gates control flow — every non-newer move
retries the stored assignment — so the name overstated its role.

* fix(relay): honor mid-wait raises and cap the assign gate's inline wait

Review findings on the per-host assign gate: the deadline was read once
before sleeping, so a sibling's Retry-After landing mid-wait was ignored
(the exact storm the gate exists for), and the sleep was uncancellable —
a booked five-minute Retry-After could park pairing IPC, which awaits
reconcile inline, for its full duration.

The wait now runs in 1s slices, re-reading the deadline and the caller's
isCurrent fence each slice. Remaining waits beyond 15s fail fast as a
RelayHttpError 429 carrying the remainder, so the existing schedulers
pace with it while the gate keeps the deadline. Staleness aborts are
classified non-retryable. Also from review: the broker's isCurrent wiring
and the shared-gate default are now pinned by tests, the 4429 comment
states the reservation-order rationale precisely, the mobile Retry-After
ceiling is renamed to avoid colliding with the desktop's 5-minute one,
and a past-HTTP-date header case is covered.

* fix(relay): tag locally paced assigns and warn about frozen test clocks

Review polish: the synthesized 429 for a beyond-cap local wait now carries a
distinct message (relay_assignment_locally_paced_429) so log censuses can tell
it from a real director 429, with the comment stating the invariant that makes
the translation honest (local booking alone never exceeds ~5.5s). The gate's
sleep option documents that test fakes must advance the clock — the slice loop
re-reads it and never terminates against a frozen one.

* fix(relay): fence superseded callers at the assign send boundary

reserve() checks staleness while waiting, but a caller superseded after
booking — or between the 400 field-fallback retries — could still spend
one to two requests on an assignment nobody consumes. Re-check
isCurrent at the top of sendRelayAssignment so the fallback recursion
is fenced too.
