xarmian ea139272ce fix(server,watchevents): shared session presence + honest push acceptance (BUG-2698, BUG-2699) (#1175)
Two coupled defects in the push path, fixed as one unit because 2699's honest-acceptance signature is the substrate 2698's fix reports through.

BUG-2699 — Bus.Publish reports acceptance. The endpoint returned 200 pushed:true
for a publish that was dropped, because Publish returned nothing and swallowed
every failure. An error is two outcomes and they are kept apart: ErrBusClosed
proves nothing was published (503 unavailable, safe to resend), while any other
error means UNCONFIRMED — go-redis retries a command whose reply was lost, which
is why the publish script already carries a dedupe token — and gets 502
push_unconfirmed, deliberately off the web client's safe-to-resend list.
MemoryBus was the worse case, not the exempt one: neither implementation checked
`closed`, and the in-process one dropped silently with no log at all. Seven
production call sites, not the six the item named; the six best-effort producers
discard through one named helper, and an AST-based test fails when a new
producer publishes directly.

BUG-2698 — RedisSessionPresence. A session-targeted push was resolved against
the answering replica's presence registry, and the handler skips the publish
when the target is absent, so a POST landing on A for a session held on B
dropped the instruction and answered delivered_sessions:0. Fixed at the REGISTRY
rather than the gate: a shared registry makes the snapshot right, which makes
the picker complete and restores the gate's original premise, so the existing
skip becomes correct for the reason it was written. Entry and index are written
atomically under a TTL renewed by a goroutine that lives exactly as long as the
connection; a crashed process stops renewing and Redis clears it. Staleness is
unchanged and now stated in full: ~30s for a dropped client, ~90s for a dead
instance.

delivered_sessions becomes nullable — null means published-but-uncountable,
never zero — documented as three states at every consumer.

35 Codex review rounds. Notable: a per-user registry cap was added and then
removed after three consecutive rounds found defects inside it and a fourth was
asked whether it belonged in this PR at all; a context bound was documented,
disproved by its own test (go-redis does not apply a command context to
connection establishment — 5.0s measured against a 150ms ctx), and rewritten to
say what is true. Every fix was mutation-checked; one instrument was deleted for
passing on broken code and one for not asserting its own premise.

Filed rather than folded in: BUG-2724 (Redis keyspace namespacing + Cluster),
BUG-2725 (delivered_sessions is an estimate with error in both directions),
BUG-2726 (no concurrent-connection limit on the watch stream), BUG-2727 (Redis
absent from readiness/metrics; silent subscriber loss), BUG-2728 (epoch-reset
resume lead).
