* fix(photon): override transitive CVEs in the sidecar deps
`npm audit` flagged 7 high-severity transitive CVEs (protobufjs code injection
GHSA-66ff-xgx4-vchm + outdated @opentelemetry OTLP exporters) pulled in via
spectrum-ts -> @photon-ai/otel. npm's suggested fix downgrades spectrum-ts to a
version that targets the decommissioned spectrum host, so instead pin patched
versions via `overrides` (protobufjs 8.6.1, @opentelemetry/* 0.218.0) without
touching spectrum-ts. `npm audit` -> 0; spectrum-ts + provider still import.
* fix(photon): harden the sidecar bridge + bound the dedup cache
- constant-time sidecar control-token comparison (was `!==`, timing-attackable).
- cap the control-channel request body (2 MiB) so a compromised local peer can't
OOM the sidecar.
- wrap the inbound gRPC stream consumer in a re-subscribe loop with capped
exponential backoff + jitter — if the async iterator throws/ends it would
otherwise stop inbound forever (the adapter dedupes any replay).
- add an unhandledRejection handler so a stray rejection logs instead of killing
the process.
- dedup cache (adapter) was a true bounded LRU only for expired entries; a burst
of unique ids within the window grew it without limit. Evict oldest at the cap.
