G3.5: Eternitas revocation receiver — fail-closed, both signature traps avoided
When a passport is revoked, every credential it holds here dies in one
transaction: tokens revoked, grants revoked. A revocation that takes effect
'eventually' is not a revocation.

Avoids two traps that each cost a sibling service a subscription that looked
wired and never once delivered:
  1. strip the 'sha256=' prefix before comparing — comparing the decorated
     header against a bare digest returns 401 forever
  2. HMAC the RAW REQUEST BYTES, never a re-serialised body — JSON.stringify of
     a parsed body reorders keys and changes whitespace, so the digest never
     matches what the sender signed

Both fail silently from the sender's side: Eternitas records a delivery, the
receiver records a rejection, nobody notices for weeks.

Unset secret REFUSES rather than accepts — accepting unverified instructions
about identity is worse than missing them. And it never acknowledges a
revocation it could not apply; a 200 there is a security hole reporting success.
