Tamid §1.1 wrote the pe'ah's limit (10/min, 100/h per IP); nothing
enforced it, on any tier, and every admitted request spends manna.
VavPipeline.BigdeiKodesh.Mishmar: fixed minute and hour windows per
subject in ETS, the subject stored only as sha256(boot salt, tier,
subject) — no IP and no key is ever in memory as itself, the sweep
drops closed windows, nothing survives a restart (the Tamid's "not
logged beyond the current request", kept in memory too). A refused
knock is not counted. 429 RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After and the manna
explanation (Shemot 16:18). Pe'ah per peer address; courtyard and
chatzer per key, after the gate (a wrong key is 401 and never counted).
Numbers: pe'ah 10/100 (Tamid), courtyard 20/200 and chatzer 5/60
(from Construction §2.3; config :rate_limits).
Service shorashim-external: externalTrafficPolicy Local. With Cluster
the pod saw every caller as the node, 91.92.153.113 (observed via
/proc/net/tcp) — a per-IP limit would have been one bucket for the
world.
Spec: tamid §1.1 (watch, 429 rows, the Service note), KOHEN.md.

/courtyard/* and /chatzer/* admitted any `Authorization: Bearer <x>`.
Every test sent `Bearer test-token`; none sent a wrong one. Every
admitted request spends the day's manna.
VavPipeline.BigdeiKodesh.Gate: keys are a file (Construction §4.6 —
never env, never config, never git), one `tier key` per line, tiers
courtyard < chatzer (the inner ring opens the outer). Constant-time
compare against every line; no file / empty / unreadable → nobody
passes, GATE_NO_KEYS in the log, the caller told only "missing or
invalid". 403 FORBIDDEN for an outer key at an inner gate. Read on
every request so a rotated key is live in ~1 min without a rollout.
Deploy: Secret shorashim-api-keys projected at
/etc/shorashim/secrets/api_keys (vav-pipeline only, 0440),
API_KEYS_FILE in the configmap, template + issue/rotate recipe in
secrets.yaml and KOHEN.md "Issuing a key". Spec: tamid §1.1 (gate,
403), vayakhel §4.6. Doorpost 91d09d8d… → 42b38626….
Tests: tablet45_gate_test (parse, tiers, wrong/near/empty/no key, no
file) — Elixir 527/0.
