G3.2/G3.4: real EPT verification + wire the throttle, reopening agent auth

REOPENS the agent path — but only because possession is now actually proven.

EPT verification (api/app/ept.py): ES256 against Eternitas's published key set
at /.well-known/eternitas-keys. algorithms=['ES256'] makes alg:none and
algorithm confusion unrepresentable rather than merely unlikely; issuer and exp
are enforced by the library; an unknown kid is refused.

Order is deliberate: signature FIRST, trust lookup second. These EPTs live ~365
days and carry rev/tru baked in at issuance, so a year-old 'rev: false' proves
nothing — revocation and band still come from a live lookup on every request.

Found while building it: real EPTs put the passport in . The old code read
/, which no genuine EPT carries — so real agents were
never recognised and ONLY forged tokens ever authenticated. The bypass was not
just a hole, it was the only thing that worked.

Throttle (api/app/throttle.py): BAND_MULTIPLIER and rate_*_per_day were defined
and read by nothing. Now enforced on repo.create and grant.create, counted
against agent_actions (one source of truth, not a private counter that drifts
from the audit log). Fails CLOSED — a limiter that fails open protects you until
the moment something is wrong. Untrusted band is 403 read-only, not 429, because
'slow down' would be a lie.

Tests: 14 behavioral, signing real ES256 tokens with a locally-generated key so
they exercise the crypto path with no network dependency — genuine tokens
accepted, and alg:none / foreign key / tampered payload / expired / wrong issuer
/ unknown kid / missing claims all refused. 74 green.

+
+Trust is not authentication. A trust lookup answers *"is this passport
+reputable?"*; only a signature answers *"does this caller actually hold it?"*.
+Skipping the second question was a live impersonation bypass on 2026-08-13 — a
+forged `alg:none` token naming a passport read out of the logs returned HTTP 200.
+
+What this module refuses, deliberately and by construction:
+
+* **`alg: none`** — the original exploit. `algorithms=["ES256"]` makes it
+  unrepresentable rather than merely unlikely.
+* **Algorithm confusion.** Only ES256 is accepted. If an attacker presents an
+  HS256 token, PyJWT will not try to use an EC public key as an HMAC secret,
+  which is the classic way "verified" JWTs get forged.
+* **An unknown `kid`.** The key must be one Eternitas currently publishes.
+* **A wrong issuer or an expired token** — checked by the library, not by us.
+
+What it deliberately does NOT decide: whether the agent is *allowed* to act.
+The EPT carries `rev` and `tru` claims baked in at issuance, and these tokens
+live for a year (observed `exp` ≈ 365 days). A year-old `rev: false` is not
+evidence of anything. **Revocation and trust must come from a live lookup**, so
