A node signed its changes no rule signs a while after them (--sign-every
1s): the change left at once, unsigned, and its signature followed on
its own a second later, to every neighbour, over every link. A few
writes made a cascade of SIGNATURES. Under a policy requiring
signatures it signed every change as it was made instead.
A node now signs its latest change, if no signature vouches for it, as
a sync message takes it (--sign-every sent, the default): the
signature leaves in the same message, and goes where the change goes.
One signature per message, however many changes it carries, each
vouching for those before it: a slow writer's every change is signed,
a fast writer's batches are, at no threshold to pick. A policy
requiring signatures signs what is sent too, even with `none`. `all`
still signs every change as it is made; changes to protocol data,
listed paths and ?signed=true writes are signed as they are made, as
before. The interval, and the task signing on it, go.

Review 3, R5: --refused-writes-per-minute bounds each user, but the
cost it guards, a document copy under the write lock, is the node's:
ten users, or ten accounts of one, are ten times the budget.
The node now takes six times a user's limit within a minute in all
(refused::NODE_FACTOR); past it, every user with a write refused
within the minute is answered 429 untried, until the oldest leave it.
A user none of whose writes was refused writes on, so honest writers
aren't held up by others' refusals.

Review 3, R2: the root pin was set by the first HELLO_REPLY, and the
first sync, a round trip later, took that root; a peer naming another
afterwards was refused as another history. So the seed that answered
first decided, not "none while they disagree", and a malicious seed
makes itself fastest.
A node joining with an empty document of the first epoch now takes no
root (RootPin::Awaiting, roots left for later) until each of its seeds
named one, or ROOT_WAIT (10 s) passed since the first did; then the
one they name, none while they differ, as before. With --genesis-root
it takes that one alone, at once. access.md, the option's help and
example.toml say so; switching roots later, while the joiner holds
nothing of its own, is postponed.

A write every node would refuse is rolled back by forking the document
at the heads before it, under the write lock, at a cost that grows with
the document's history. A user could ask for such writes in a loop.
Count each user's refused writes over the last minute. Past
--refused-writes-per-minute (default 10), its writes are answered 429
without being tried, until the oldest refusal leaves the minute.

Review 2, N7, the care it raised: a joining node's empty document took
as the first epoch's root whatever dependency-less change came first,
from whichever peer it joined through; the first epoch's ID is all
zeros, so nothing pinned it. A remake's epoch has its ID, the snapshot
change's hash, which the rules hold its root to.
* Every node names its epoch's root in HELLO and HELLO_REPLY (the
epoch's ID for a remake's, its genesis change for the first; wire
version 45). A node whose document starts from another root of the
same epoch refuses the handshake, logging it: another history under
the swarm's ID, a forged root or a genesis started again.
* A joining node with an empty document takes as its root only the one
it was given (--genesis-root, new), else the one its peers name, and
none while they name different ones (access::screen::RootPin, kept
in Screening across documents): one peer hands it another root only
if it is all the joiner hears, or never, with --genesis-root. A root
refused is listed with the refused, what builds on it with it.
* The genesis node logs the root (`The swarm's root`); GET
/admin/epochs shows it (`root`).
A genesis started again under a remembered swarm ID used to merge with
the nodes of it still running; they now refuse it (another root), and
the docs say to join them with seeds instead.
The epoch's identity stays as it is (generation 0 all zeros): records
and epoch metadata name it so, and every comparison of epochs with
them.

A strict remake takes a majority of members whose --strict-keys take
its manifest's signer: no node votes for one without, so
--follow-strict-remakes (1173) goes. A node that doesn't vote still
switches once the others commit, as with any remake.
So that an operator can tell why one fails: a strict remake aborted
for want of a majority (the voting period over, or a majority out of
reach) says in its reason (GET /admin/remakes/{id}, and the
coordinator's log) which members didn't vote, and that a member votes
for one only with its manifest signed by a key of its --strict-keys.
Each of those logs why itself (`Not voting for a strict remake`).
The sim a_strict_remake_too_few_take: only a takes the manifest; the
remake aborts, naming b and c.

Until a swarm is strict, the user a change names is its node's word, so
any member could have planted registry entries, policy, bans or
user-signed values as any user, plain or signed by a key it put there
itself; writing the strict policy trusted all of it as it was.
A remake of a new kind, `strict`, turns a swarm strict instead:
* Its content is a manifest (access::strict): the swarm, the strict
policy, and each value kept at the places values are signed, by the
SHA-256 of its JSON, signed by an operator (ssh-keygen -Y sign -n
continuum-strict).
* Every node builds the next epoch as compaction does, keeping at the
signed places only the values the manifest names, as they were at
the base, and writing its policy (RemakeKind::protocol, the one kind
that changes protocol data). Writes after the base reach the new
epoch only by replays, judged by the strict policy.
* A node votes for one only with its manifest signed by one of
--strict-keys, keys given out of the document; without any, for none
(logged once, `Not voting for a strict remake`), unless
--follow-strict-remakes. A coordinator proposes only what it would
vote for (403). Once a majority commits one, every node switches, as
with any remake: refusing to switch would only cut a node off.
* GET /admin/strict-manifest gives the manifest keeping everything held
now, the values for review and the heads they are at;
continuum-signed strict shows them, signs once confirmed and proposes
at those heads.
The sim a_swarm_turning_strict_through_a_remake: a member plants a
registry entry as a manager; the operator's manifest leaves it out; a
and b, given the key, commit; c, without, follows; the entry is gone
and the policy strict everywhere.

Review 6: a node remembers the challenges used until they expire, 10 000
at most, and refused every login by key once full. One user holding a
key could make 10 000 logins within five minutes and keep everyone else
out.
A user may now log in by key at most --key-logins-per-user times (100)
on a node within a challenge's lifetime, past which that user waits and
others don't; the 10 000 stay as the cap for all users together. The
lifetime, five minutes until now, is --challenge-lifetime.

Changes left unsigned are vouched for by the node's next signature:
--sign-every 1s (default) signs the latest within a second, all signs
every change, none only those that must be.

Swarms started before the registry keep working without one; the
genesis node's options for a registry apply only to new swarms. What
tests and migration leave is noted in future-work.

Every request is judged by the registry the node holds: store reads
pruned to what the user may read, writes refused where it may not,
admin endpoints by protocol capabilities. Without a registry, as
before (--protocol-writers for protocol data).

--bootstrap-users gives a new swarm a registry from its first change,
each first user with everything; other users may do nothing until
added. Without it the swarm has no registry and works as before.
