jml 3e7eddc074 feat: add enterprise production readiness infrastructure
This commit implements comprehensive production hardening across multiple
layers to prepare StemeDB for enterprise pilot deployments:

## API Layer
- Add rate limiting middleware with configurable limits per endpoint
- Enhance error handling with detailed context and proper HTTP status codes
- Add security hardening tests for input validation and boundary conditions
- Create store_helpers module for defensive storage access patterns

## Storage & WAL
- Optimize group commit batching for higher throughput
- Add defensive error handling in hybrid backend with proper fallbacks
- Enhance WAL journal durability guarantees with fsync validation
- Improve index store query performance with better caching

## Operations & Deployment
- Add comprehensive operations documentation (deployment, monitoring, DR)
- Create systemd units for backup, WAL archival, and verification
- Add monitoring configs (Prometheus alerts, metrics exporters)
- Implement backup/restore scripts with verification and S3 archival
- Add DR drill automation and runbook procedures
- Create load balancer configs (nginx, envoy) with health checks

## Documentation
- Update CLAUDE.md with operations and troubleshooting guides
- Expand roadmap with production readiness milestones
- Add pilot success criteria and deployment reference architecture
- Document TLS setup, monitoring integration, and incident response

## Configuration
- Add .env.example with all required environment variables
- Document resource sizing for different deployment scales
- Add configuration examples for various deployment topologies

This positions StemeDB for successful enterprise pilots with proper
operational discipline, monitoring, backup/DR, and security hardening.

## Verification Areas
### 1. Data Integrity & Durability
| Check | Command | Expected |
|-------|---------|----------|
| WAL crash recovery | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_crash_recovery` | All pass |
| No duplicate assertions | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_p0_crash_recovery` | All pass |
| Cursor checkpoint | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_cursor` | All pass |
### 2. Signature Verification
| Check | Command | Expected |
|-------|---------|----------|
| v1 signatures (legacy) | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_ingest_assertion` | Pass |
| v2 signatures (enterprise) | Pharma-ingest with real keys | All assertions accepted |
| Invalid signature rejection | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_rejects_invalid` | Pass |
| Unsigned assertion rejection | `cargo test -p stemedb-ingest test_rejects_unsigned` | Pass |
### 3. End-to-End Pipeline
| Check | Command | Expected |
|-------|---------|----------|
| API server starts | `cargo run --bin stemedb-api` | Binds to :18180 |
| Assertion ingestion | `POST /v1/assert` | Returns hash |
| Query returns data | `GET /v1/query?subject=X` | Returns assertions |
| Skeptic conflict analysis | `GET /v1/skeptic?subject=X&predicate=Y` | Returns conflict_score |
| Health check | `GET /v1/health` | assertions_count > 0 |
### 4. Load Testing
**Tool:** `cmd/load-test` (Go-based with native Ed25519 signing)
| Scenario | Command | Target | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| Baseline latency | `--scenario baseline` | 10K assertions, p99 < 200ms | Ready |
| Sustained writes | `--scenario sustained` | 1K/sec for 1 hour, p99 < 200ms | Ready |
| Concurrent readers | `--scenario concurrent` | 100 readers, <2x degradation | Ready |
**Quick Start:**
```bash
# Run all scenarios (5 min sustained by default)
./scripts/run-load-test.sh
# Run full 1-hour sustained test
LOAD_TEST_DURATION=1h ./scripts/run-load-test.sh
# Run specific scenario
./scripts/run-load-test.sh --scenario baseline
go run ./cmd/load-test --api-url http://localhost:18180 --scenario sustained --duration 10m
```
**Prerequisites:**
- Set `STEMEDB_METER_ENABLED=false` for accurate sustained test results
- Ensure ~10-20GB disk space for 1-hour tests (~3.6M assertions)
- Results saved to `uat/production-readiness/results/`
### 5. API Security
| Check | Implementation | Status |
|-------|----------------|--------|
| Authentication | `X-API-Key` header, BLAKE3-hashed storage | Implemented |
| RBAC | 3 roles: admin, write, read-only | Implemented |
| Per-key rate limiting | Token bucket per API key (separate from per-agent quota) | Implemented |
| Key management | 5 CRUD endpoints: create, list, revoke, rotate, update | Implemented |
| Bootstrap | `STEMEDB_ROOT_API_KEY` env var creates admin key on first start | Implemented |
| Input validation | Oversized payloads rejected | Partial |
| TLS in transit | HTTPS termination | External (nginx/LB) |
**Key files:**
- `crates/stemedb-api/src/middleware/api_key.rs` X-API-Key middleware + RBAC + per-key rate limiting
- `crates/stemedb-storage/src/api_key_store/` Storage trait + implementation
- `crates/stemedb-api/src/handlers/api_keys.rs` Create, list, revoke, rotate, update endpoints

### 6. Backup & Restore
| Check | Procedure | Status |
|-------|-----------|--------|
| WAL backup | `./scripts/backup-stemedb.sh` rsync WAL + DB, timestamped | Implemented |

| Safety checks | Server-not-running check, non-empty dir protection | Implemented |
| Force restore | `--force` renames existing dirs (never deletes) | Implemented |
| WAL verification | Magic bytes (`STEM`) checked on restore | Implemented |
| Metadata | `backup-metadata.json` with timestamp, file counts, sizes | Implemented |
**Usage:**
```bash
# Create backup

pkill -9 -f stemedb-api
STEMEDB_DATA_DIR=/tmp/stemedb-prod-test cargo run --bin stemedb-api &
sleep 3
curl http://localhost:18180/v1/health # Should show same assertion count
```

## Next Steps
**After passing verification**, follow these steps to deploy to production:
1. **Choose Architecture:** Review [Reference Architectures](../../docs/operations/reference-architecture/README.md) to select single-node pilot or three-node cluster based on scale and availability requirements.
2. **Set Up Monitoring:** Deploy metrics collection and dashboards per your chosen architecture:
- Single-node: [Docker Compose with Monitoring](../../docs/operations/deployment/docker-compose/pilot-with-monitoring.yml)
- Three-node: Configure Prometheus to scrape all nodes
3. **Review Runbooks:** Familiarize on-call team with [Operational Runbooks](../../docs/operations/runbooks/):
- [Server Won't Start](../../docs/operations/runbooks/server-wont-start.md)
- [High Query Latency](../../docs/operations/runbooks/high-query-latency.md)
- [Quarantine Overflow](../../docs/operations/runbooks/quarantine-overflow.md)
- [Restore from Backup](../../docs/operations/runbooks/restore-from-backup.md)
- [Add Node to Cluster](../../docs/operations/runbooks/add-node.md) (cluster only)
4. **Validate Pilot:** Run [Pilot Success Criteria](../../docs/operations/pilot-success-criteria.md) validation suite:
- All 15 "Must Pass" criteria
- At least 4/6 "Should Pass" criteria
- All 5 "Amazement Moments" demonstrable
5. **Deploy:** Follow deployment guide for your chosen architecture:
- [Single-Node Pilot](../../docs/operations/reference-architecture/single-node-pilot.md)
- [Three-Node Cluster](../../docs/operations/reference-architecture/three-node-cluster.md)
6. **Monitor:** Set up alerts based on [Resource Sizing Guide](../../docs/operations/reference-architecture/resource-sizing.md) thresholds (disk >80%, CPU >70%, latency p99 >1s).
