fix(federation/client): serialize cache fills, destroy evicted Agent, cover env-var guard
- HIGH-A: resolveEntry now uses promise-cache pattern so concurrent
  callers serialize on a single in-flight build, eliminating duplicate
  key material in heap and duplicate DB round-trips
- HIGH-B: flushPeer destroys the evicted undici Agent so stale TLS
  connections close on cert rotation
- MED-C: add regression test for PEER_MISCONFIGURED when
  STEP_CA_ROOT_CERT_PATH is unset

/**
* FederationClientService — outbound mTLS client for federation requests (FED-M3-08).
*
* Dials peer gateways over mTLS using the cert+sealed-key stored in `federation_peers`,
* invokes federation verbs (list / get / capabilities), and surfaces all failure modes
* as typed `FederationClientError` instances.
*
* ## Error code taxonomy
*
* | Code | When |
* | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
* | PEER_NOT_FOUND | No row in federation_peers for the given peerId |
* | PEER_INACTIVE | Peer row exists but state !== 'active' |
* | PEER_MISCONFIGURED | Peer row is active but missing endpointUrl or clientKeyPem |
* | NETWORK | undici threw a connection / TLS / timeout error |
* | HTTP_{status} | Peer returned a non-2xx response (e.g. HTTP_403, HTTP_404) |
* | FORBIDDEN | Peer returned 403 (convenience alias alongside HTTP_403) |
* | INVALID_RESPONSE | Response body failed Zod schema validation |
*
* ## Cache strategy
*
* Per-peer `undici.Agent` instances are cached in a `Map<peerId, AgentCacheEntry>` for
* the lifetime of the service instance. The cache is keyed on peerId (UUID).
*
* Cache invalidation:
* - `flushPeer(peerId)` — removes the entry immediately. M5/M6 MUST call this on
* cert rotation or peer revocation events so the next request re-reads the DB and
* builds a fresh TLS Agent with the new cert material.
* - On cache miss: re-reads the DB, checks state === 'active', rebuilds Agent.
*
* Cache does NOT auto-expire. The service is expected to be a singleton scoped to the
* NestJS application lifecycle; flushing on revocation/rotation is the only invalidation
* path by design (avoids redundant DB round-trips on the hot path).
