Caught verifying the gate fixes on archi-dev-box: [fips0-ULA]:32838
answered HTTP 200 straight from nbxplorer with no credential. The
catalog declares that port auth: local — host-local by intent, pinned to
loopback, the gate deliberately keeps its hands off — but the mesh relay
bridges a STATIC port list to 127.0.0.1, so it republished it to the
whole mesh. Same bug class as the Tor onion gap: a transport that
converges on the app loopback without consulting the declaration.
PortMap now records declared-local ports and the relay withholds them
(tearing down an existing bridge if a catalog refresh newly declares
one), alongside the declared-gated withhold. Undeclared ports keep
todays behaviour — silence is not an instruction in either direction.
