ConnorYohandGitHub 84aca12055 PR-S4: shadow-mode hardening (review follow-ups) (#6523)
## What this PR does

Bundles the **low-risk polish items** from the [multi-agent review of
#6519](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/6519). Each
change is independent, mechanical, and ships with focused unit-test
coverage.

The medium-severity items (\`?async=true\` OUTPUT recording,
JSON-consumes endpoint coverage, SpringBootTest harness) are tracked
separately in [\`notes/PAYG_DESIGN.md\` §7.5
PR-S4](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/payg-s4-hardening/notes/PAYG_DESIGN.md)
— they need design decisions + bigger infrastructure work, so this PR
sticks to the mechanical wins.

Stacked on #6519. When that merges to main, this rebases cleanly — no
code changes.

## Changes

| Area | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| **\`tool_id\` becomes route pattern** |
\`PaygChargeInterceptor.resolveToolId()\` prefers
\`HandlerMapping.BEST_MATCHING_PATTERN_ATTRIBUTE\` over
\`request.getRequestURI()\`. Truncates to 128 + WARN log +
\`payg.filter.errors\` increment when truncation fires. | Audit rollups
aggregate by endpoint instead of by every individual request's
path-variable / matrix-param variant. Silent truncation now louder. |
| **Direct PDF magic-byte check** | \`PaygOutputExtractor.extract()\`
magic-checks the body even for direct \`application/pdf\` responses. |
Asymmetric with the ZIP-entry path which always magic-checks. A tool
that emits \`application/pdf\` for a JSON / HTML payload would otherwise
pollute \`job_artifact_hash\`. |
| **DESKTOP_APP detection** | \`X-Stirling-Client: desktop\` header →
\`JobSource.DESKTOP_APP\`. | The enum value was unreachable from
\`determineSource()\`; Tauri shell traffic was mis-classified as WEB. No
anti-spoof — V12 step limits are identical for WEB/DESKTOP_APP so the
worst-case abuse value is zero today. |
| **\`max-bytes\` sensible default** | 500 MiB instead of \`null\`
(unbounded). | Covers the largest realistic Stirling responses (full
split-to-ZIP on a 1000-page document) while preventing pathological
cases from tying up the interceptor for minutes. Set to \`null\` to
disable. |
| **\`BufferedOutputStream\` for spill** | Wraps the spill
\`OutputStream\` in 64 KiB \`BufferedOutputStream\`. | Previously every
Tomcat chunk (default 8 KiB) was a separate syscall. Big spilled
responses get a syscall-bound speedup. |
| **Duration timer per phase** | \`payg.filter.duration\` tagged
\`phase=preHandle\` vs \`phase=afterCompletion\`. | Two distinct latency
distributions were blended into one histogram; hard to alert on. |

## Tests

| Test | What it covers |
|---|---|
|
\`PaygOutputExtractorTest.pdfContentType_butBodyMissingPdfMagic_returnsEmpty\`
| New direct-PDF magic-byte gate. |
|
\`PaygChargeInterceptorTest.preHandle_desktopClientHeader_setsJobSourceDesktopApp\`
| New \`X-Stirling-Client: desktop\` → DESKTOP_APP path. |
|
\`PaygChargeInterceptorTest.preHandle_toolId_prefersBestMatchingPattern\`
| Route pattern wins over URI when both are set. |
|
\`PaygChargeInterceptorTest.preHandle_toolId_truncatesAndCountsWhenLongerThan128\`
| Oversized values truncate + increment errors counter. |

Full saas suite green (210 tests), coverage targets met.

## What's NOT in this PR (deliberately)

- **\`?async=true\` OUTPUT recording.** The JobExecutorService returns a
synchronous \`JobResponse{jobId}\` body before the async tool actually
runs; \`afterCompletion\` fires too early. Needs a design decision:
short-circuit PAYG when \`async=true\` OR hook into \`TaskManager\`
completion. Tracked in PR-S4 design doc.
- **JSON-consumes endpoint coverage.** The
\`MultipartHttpServletRequest\` cast skips endpoints with \`consumes =
APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE\` (e.g.
\`ConvertPdfJsonController.exportPartialPdf\`). Fix is either extract a
request-body hash for JSON or add a CI lint forbidding non-multipart
\`@AutoJobPostMapping\`. Design discussion needed.
- **SpringBootTest harness for filter + interceptor wiring.** Saas
module doesn't have one yet. Separate work — PR-S3 takes a different
approach (docker-compose + Behave); a SpringBootTest layer would be
additive in-process coverage.

These are tracked in \`notes/PAYG_DESIGN.md §7.5\` so they don't slip.
