+ * IP-INDEPENDENT, CLUSTER-WIDE per-workspace cap on anonymous public-share AI
+ * calls.
+ *
+ * The route is also IP-throttled (@Throttle, ~5/min), but the app runs with
+ * `trustProxy: true`, so an attacker who rotates the `X-Forwarded-For` header
+ * can present a fresh "client IP" on every request and evade the per-IP limit.
+ * Each evaded call still spends REAL tokens on the workspace owner's paid AI
+ * provider (stepCountIs(5), up to ~240KB of transcript), so a spoofing attacker
+ * could run up the owner's bill without bound.
+ *
+ * This is the SECOND limiter contour: it is keyed by WORKSPACE id (server-
+ * resolved from the request host, never attacker-controllable) and therefore
+ * caps the owner's bill even when the per-IP limit is fully evaded via XFF
+ * spoofing. It is defense-in-depth, NOT a replacement for the per-IP throttle.
+ *
+ * NOTE: in production this endpoint should ALSO sit behind a trusted reverse
+ * proxy that overwrites (not appends) `X-Forwarded-For` with the real client
+ * IP, so the per-IP throttle remains meaningful; this per-workspace cap is the
+ * backstop for deployments where that is not guaranteed.
+ *
+ * SLIDING window, CLUSTER-WIDE via Redis.
+ * - SLIDING (not fixed) so the true rate over ANY 1h window is bounded. A fixed
+ *   window lets ~2x the cap through across a boundary (cap in the last second of
+ *   window N + cap in the first second of N+1 = ~2x in ~2s); a sliding-window
+ *   log has no such boundary burst.
+ * - CLUSTER-WIDE because the state lives in the shared Redis (the same client
+ *   that backs the other anti-abuse limits in the repo, e.g. the page-update
+ *   email rate limiter), so K app instances share ONE budget instead of each
+ *   enforcing its own K x cap.
+ *
+ * Implementation: a per-key Redis sorted set used as a sliding-window LOG. Each
+ * accepted call ZADDs a unique member scored by its epoch-ms timestamp; on every
+ * attempt we first ZREMRANGEBYSCORE away entries older than `windowMs`, then
+ * count the survivors. The whole check-and-add is one atomic Lua EVAL so two
+ * concurrent instances cannot both slip past the cap. The key carries a PEXPIRE

+ * Why this is a SOURCE-LEVEL (AST) contract test rather than a live AuthService
+ * unit: AuthService cannot be constructed — or even imported — under this jest
+ * config. jest is rooted at `src/` with no `^src/(.*)` moduleNameMapper, so the
+ * transitive `import ... from 'src/integrations/queue/constants'` chain
+ * (AuthService -> SignupService -> WorkspaceService -> SpaceService) does not

+ * graph, which jest's ts-jest transform (with the repo's transformIgnorePatterns)
+ * cannot load. (The pre-existing auth.service.spec.ts placeholder fails to run
