NeilandClaude 8da0ca52e7 perf(relay): release rejected first-frame connections [trade-off] (#23011)
* perf(relay): release rejected first-frame connections [trade-off]

* fix(relay): bound the director's rejected and redirected first-frame closes too

The parent PR routed four cell-side first-frame rejections through
closeRelayWebSocket but left two raw socket.close() calls in the same
handler. A real-socket probe shows both still pin a connection unit for
ws's full 30s close timer when the peer ignores the close frame:

- 'invalid invite' is reachable by an unauthenticated peer with a
  well-formed but bogus credential, so the exhaustion the parent PR
  claims to prevent stayed reachable on the director;
- 'connect to assigned cell' is the happy path for every phone's first
  director contact, so it is the highest-volume unbounded close here.

closeWithDrain gets the same treatment; host-session-registry already
closes the identical drain through the helper.

Also records that the bounded close is not a user-facing trade-off: the
close frame is written before the force-close timer can fire and TCP
delivers it ahead of the FIN, so an abandoned peer still reads code and
reason over a graceful close. The new regression asserts that, plus
exactly-once release across concurrent bursts and rejection racing the
peer's own disconnect (the ledger does not clamp at zero, so a double
release would surface as a negative count).

* refactor(relay): drop the unused closeWithDrain helper

`closeWithDrain` has no callers anywhere in the repo, and its `graceMs`
parameter promised a caller-supplied drain window that the body no longer
honours: routing it through `closeRelayWebSocket` force-terminates after 1s
regardless, so a future caller passing `graceMs: 30_000` would have had its
drain silently cut short while the signature still claimed otherwise.

The real drain path is `host-session-registry`, which sends the same
`resolve-director` drain and closes it there. Delete the dead duplicate
rather than bound a helper whose contract says "graceful".

* docs(relay): call the bounded close's rejection delivery best effort, not guaranteed

The helper claimed the forced terminate costs an abandoned peer nothing it can
observe, and the test presented its fast-peer assertion as proof. Neither holds in
general: `ws` writes the close frame to the socket and `terminate()` destroys that
socket a second later, so under backpressure the frame — and any `relay-moved`
message queued ahead of it — can go unsent even to a peer that never stopped
reading.

Qualifies both comments to describe delivery as best effort and name the
backpressure case. The fast-peer assertion is valid and stays exactly as it was;
only its stated scope narrows, and the test is renamed to say which peer it speaks
for. What the bound actually buys — a stalled peer cannot hold admission — is now
stated on its own rather than resting on a delivery claim.
