atlas b03549fde6 snapshot store: bound the transfer on both ends
The receiver blocked in read until a peer sent a header, and a stalled
btrfs receive was never reaped, so a silent or stuck connection held a
root service instance indefinitely. The receiver now gives the header 30 s
and the unit has RuntimeMaxSec=6h.

The sender had no deadline on the TCP connect or the header write, so an
unreachable mesh address held the admin-socket handler until the kernel
gave up. Both now time out after 15 s and report it like any other
failure. The stream body stays unbounded on the sender: the receiver's
RuntimeMaxSec already caps it, and btrfs send writes it outside this
process.

# swarm-snapshot-store — the swarm's `btrfs receive` endpoint. Hives push
# agent snapshots here over the existing WireGuard mesh; a destination
# hive later pulls one back to complete a migration. Only the receive
# half exists today — the pull side needs an authorisation model for
# "which hive may fetch which agent's state", which lands with the
# swarm controller.
#
# This is NOT the swarm controller and does not depend on it: a btrfs
# subvolume tree, a socket-activated receiver, and the `wg-hive`
# interface `swarm.nix` already brings up. Deliberately no WireGuard
# config of its own --- the mesh's cryptokey routing
# (`allowedIPs = [ peer.wireguardAddress ]`) already binds a peer's
# source address to its public key, so the mesh IS the authentication
# and adding certs here would authenticate the same fact twice.
#
# Confinement is a property of the DEPLOYMENT, not of this unit: in a
# real swarm the store is its own small VM (the machine is the
# boundary); in the all-local case it's a container on the c0re host.
# The module hardcodes neither. docs/networking/snapshot-store.md covers what the
# deployment is expected to provide.

# ⚠️ The security rule, stated precisely, because the absolute form
# ("the sender never names its destination") is not achievable with
# btrfs send/receive: the RECEIVER owns the destination ROOT, and any
# sender-supplied component is VALIDATED, never used as a path. The
# name must match [A-Za-z0-9_-]+ exactly --- no slash, no dot, so no
