A coding agent's traffic differs from a hand-made request: with a
subscription Claude Code authenticates with an OAuth bearer and sends
anthropic-beta; it counts tokens at /v1/messages/count_tokens; it makes a
request per tool call; its tool-only turns have no text; its context runs
to megabytes. So: with the courtyard key in X-Bikoret-Key, the caller's
Authorization: Bearer is forwarded to Anthropic as its credential, and
anthropic-beta with it; count_tokens is carried through unexamined and
uncharged; the watch counts the gate at its own windows (120/min,
2,000/h per key — tier :gate); a reply with no text is delivered as it
came with bikoret.verdict "none" and no fringe block (stream and
non-stream); the sources keep the newest user turns whole and drop the
oldest past 1 MiB. Ingress body 32 MiB; ConfigMap manna amounts raised
to 5000/5000 (the kohen's lever). Tamid §1.1, KOHEN "Claude Code behind
the gate". Doorpost re-pinned. Elixir 617/0 read before this commit;
gate_test 25.

Bamidbar 15:39 u'reitem oto — the fringe must be seen, so a streaming
client gets it too. With "stream": true the request is opened
asynchronously (Gate.Upstream.open_stream/4, httpc stream: :self) and
Gate.Stream relays every complete SSE event to the caller unchanged
while gathering the text deltas; the terminal events (Anthropic
message_delta + message_stop; OpenAI the finish_reason chunk + [DONE])
are held until the gathered text has been examined, then released
behind the fringe sent as one more text block, with the `bikoret` object
added to the terminal event the client already parses. No X-Bikoret-*
headers on a stream (they leave before the model speaks); no rebuke on a
stream (nothing streamed can be taken back — 422). An examination that
fails after the stream began is said in the trailer ("— bikoret: not
examined (…)"), never silent. One api_calls_external gathered before the
call, as for any pass. Tamid §1.1, Construction §3.10, KOHEN. Doorpost
40e7d7d1…. Elixir 612/0 (read before this commit).

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.
