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.
