peter fac5c4465a fix: stored logs keep bad rows, erased accounts and unconsented queries out
Deep-review round 1 of E22.

- A NUL character (`GET /assets/%00` logs the decoded path) made Postgres
  refuse the row and with it the sink's whole batch, every user's rows
  included. `to_row` replaces NUL in every text column and in attrs.
- An erased account's lines kept arriving after purge_user's DELETE: the
  erasing request's own access line, a queued row, a background task.
  `logs.forget_user` runs first; later rows are stored without the account,
  and the check and the insert share a lock with the erasure.
- An admin setting the whole process to TRACE logged every user's query
  string. The query is now logged only under the user's own Teljes consent,
  and decoded before redaction, so `%40` no longer hides an address.
- The browser log ingest has an hourly storage budget per account (5 MiB,
  one notice when spent) and reads only a JSON Content-Type, so a
  same-site text/plain form post cannot write into a user's log.
  RateLimiter takes a per-attempt cost for the byte budget.
- The root level is applied under the elevation lock: two concurrent
  changes could leave it at the base while an elevation was active.
- Tests for the running sink (level gate, drain on stop) and for the
  admin log level applied at runtime and at boot.

"""The `log_events` sink (E22 S3): the stored copy of the log the diagnostics console reads.
stdout stays the complete log (docker keeps 3×50 MB of it); this table keeps the part worth querying
for `log_retention_days`:
* every WARNING and above,
* the `http.request` line of every request at INFO or above (not the DEBUG-level health checks and
static files),
* every line of a request whose user raised their diagnostics level (E22 S5 — `logs.LevelGate`
marks them), which is the detail they consented to have kept,
* nothing a caller marked `extra={logs.PERSIST: False}` — how the request log caps anonymous
traffic per client.
What the table must never do is slow down or break the code that logs. So a line is redacted and
turned into a row on the CALLER's thread (the same `logs.record_fields` the stdout line is built
from), put on a bounded queue without blocking, and written in batches by one background thread
on its own connection — never inside a request's transaction. A full queue drops the row and
counts it; a failed write drops the batch and says so on stderr. Both are reported rather than
retried: a log that retries into a sick database is how a small outage becomes a big one.
Flood control is the second half. On 2026-09-16 a YouTube RSS outage made prod log 11k near-identical
warnings in four hours. stdout keeps them all; the table keeps `REPEATS_PER_MINUTE` of each message
template per minute and one `log.repeats_suppressed` row saying how many more there were.
Core layer: imports `logs`, `db`, `models`, `config` — nothing above them.
