feat(0003e/3): per-subject data-plane ACL from room membership (audit H4)
Closes the residual the 0004 hardening deferred: the NATS authenticator can now confine a registered peer to the subjects of the rooms it belongs to, instead of letting any registered identity sub/pub on any subject. The dynamic-membership reconnection model the audit named is provided by client.RefreshSession. pkg/busauth: - verifyNkey factors out the shared nkey verification. - NewNkeyAuthenticatorACL + PermissionsFunc: an authenticator that, after authorizing, derives and RegisterUser()s per-subject permissions. A derivation error denies the connection (fail closed). pkg/membership: - SubjectACLFor(store) maps a signing pubkey to the subjects it may use: the subject of every room it belongs to, plus the client infrastructure subjects (_INBOX.>, $JS.API.> for request/reply and the persisted plane). pkg/client: - RefreshSession() rebuilds the data-plane connection so the authenticator re-derives permissions after a membership change (NATS freezes permissions at connect time). It retains the seeds/options to reconnect; active subscriptions are dropped and must be re-made (documented). Tests (DoD: isolation + refresh): - TestSubjectACLIsolation: alice (member of room.A) may sub/pub room.A but is DENIED sub and pub on room.B (permissions violation), and never reads bob's room.B traffic; bob never receives alice's cross-room publish. - TestRefreshSessionGainsNewRoom: alice has no permission for room B until she is added and calls RefreshSession; the reconnect grants the subject and she then receives room B traffic. Scope note: the per-subject ACL authenticator is opt-in (NewServer/ membershipd keep the open authenticator by default) and is wired in with the decentralized boot path; auto-RefreshSession on every membership change (fully transparent) remains for 0003f. Master behavior unchanged.
