Juan Castro b8fcbffe3f fix: the five remaining review findings
**The path oracle was not closed.** The rewrite only remapped the *error*, so
success-vs-403 still answered whether a foreign path exists. Narrower than
reported: every other grant path already gates on `canManagePermission`, and
only `grantUserAppPermission` has no authority check -- deliberately, since
granting your own app something you don't hold is inert. It now refuses a
foreign path the actor cannot see, with the same error a missing one gives.

My first test for this passed without the fix: `makeUserActor` creates no
fsentries, so both paths 404'd and nothing distinguished them. It inserts a
real entry now, and the control fails with "expected null to match 403" --
null being the grant that succeeded, which is the oracle.

**`#validateEmail` still failed open** on the main signup / change-email /
confirm path while its OIDC twin was hardened. Same shape as OIDC now: a gate
that did not run is not a pass.

**The 16-permission cap broke `puter.perms.check()`** for longer lists. The
SDK's own docblock promised "one round trip however many are asked about",
which the cap made untrue, so it batches instead. The reported second half --
the UI grant poller burning its timeout -- is not reachable:
`MAX_REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS` already caps that path at the same 16.

**`listener_failed` was set by wildcard listeners.** An unrelated observer on
`email.*` throwing would refuse every signup. Only an exact-key listener
implements the event, so only that one speaks for the gate.

**`whoami()` labelled everything `Unauthorized`.** A 502 with an HTML body is
not a 401; the server's `code` now rides along and the fallback names the
status.

Puter provides everything you need to build and publish web apps and games. From AI to Cloud Storage and Database to Serverless Workers, Puter has you covered. Puter also helps you get users! Once you build your app, you can publish it on our App Store to reach and monetize users.


Getting Started

💻 Local Development

git clone https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter
cd puter
npm install
npm start

→ This should launch Puter at http://puter.localhost:4100

To run this checkout with Docker, follow Building from source. Create a local docker-compose.override.yml to select the local build; keeping these settings out of docker-compose.yml avoids conflicts when pulling updates and keeps local configuration out of pull requests.
