94091a8795 fix(hub): device binding is a provider contract, not a BuiltinAuth field (#147)
ownJournal refuses a journal write unless the device id is bound to the
caller's account, for EVERY provider — it asks only whether s.Devices is
nil. The only thing that creates that binding is DeviceRegistry.Bind, whose
only caller is BuiltinAuth.finishLogin, and that hook was wired behind
`if a, ok := s.Auth.(*BuiltinAuth); ok`.

So a hub running a managed AuthProvider — the deployment the seam exists
for — bound nothing, ever, and refused every journal push from every device
forever. Everything around it read healthy: /api/auth/me answered, project
permissions said write, and blobs (content-addressed, so ownerless) uploaded
fine. Only the journal PUT died. Signing in again could not help, because
signing in was the step that was supposed to bind.

UseDeviceBinder moves the hook onto the AuthProvider interface — a breaking
change for an out-of-tree provider, deliberately, so one that ignores a
precondition of a gate the hub enforces for it does not compile. The hub
cannot bind on the provider's behalf: a bind must be reachable only from a
completed authentication, and Authenticate reports who a request is, never
which credential class it presented. A device token still cannot reach a
bind; no new door was added, and every /store/* door still creates nothing.

Bind also reported success for a row the store had refused — observeLocked
logged the write failure and swallowed it — so a login could hand back a
token whose every push was then denied, with nothing in the hub explaining
why. It now propagates and the login fails honestly.

And a hub that refuses a journal write while holding no binding at all logs
that its provider is not calling the binder — the sentence that would have
ended this investigation on day one instead of day two.

Tested by driving the real binary against a hub with a managed provider
(cli_provider_e2e_test.go), which is the configuration no test in this repo
covered and the reason this shipped: every existing test used BuiltinAuth,
where the wiring happened to work. Both directions are pinned — a provider
that binds pushes, one that ignores the binder reproduces the reported
symptom exactly.
