glm-5.3-flash 12b35e2c5f docs(tasks): decompose review 001 remediation Units 1-5 into taskgraph tasks
21 review-001 tasks across server/adapters/client/gateway/websocket/infra,
chunked from the 7-unit remediation plan in
docs/reviews/001-initial-implementation-review.md.

- Scope split by mechanism, not one-per-finding: 15 tasks in generation 1
  (parallelizable), 6 sequenced after their file-sharing precursors
- Deliberately deferred until dependent fixes land: projection/doc
  fidelity partial (Unit 6 beyond dependency hygiene), coverage backfills
  (COV-01..07 via in-task acceptance for forward.rs), and per-finding
  minors (OAI-06/07, HY-02/04/06/10/11, CON-08)
- Cross-crate WS-12 (alkcall demux 4 GiB discard alloc) noted for filing
  in alkcall, not here

taskgraph: validate clean, no cycles, 6 generations

## Description
Review 001 findings on `src/adapters/forward.rs`'s response-decode paths
(`forward`, `forward_stream`), minus the SSE parser (its own task):
- **FWD-07**: `content_type.contains("application/json")`
(`forward.rs:236`) misses `application/vnd.api+json`,
`application/problem+json`, etc. → vendor JSON decoded as a `Value::Array`
of one `Number` per byte. No response size limit on any read path
(`json()/text()/bytes()`) — a hostile upstream controls caller memory.
`forward_stream` never checks content-type (200 HTML → empty stream, no
error). Fix: mime-essence matching (`application/.*+json` suffix
semantics), response size caps on all read paths, and a loud error for
non-SSE content on a Sub op.
- **FWD-08** (`forward.rs:104-126`, `:87-94`): invalid credential values
(control characters, typo'd header name) silently drop the header —
the request goes out unauthenticated and the caller only sees the
eventual upstream 401. Fail loudly at call time. (No leak risk today —
nothing is logged; keep it that way.)
- **FWD-10** (`forward.rs:215-227`, `:333-346`): upstream error bodies
discarded — surfaced message is only `"HTTP {status}: {reason}"`;
upstream diagnostics never reach the caller and unconsumed bodies
hinder connection reuse. Surface a bounded error-body echo on the error
path; keep the `HTTP_<status>` mapping as is (correct).
- **FWD-12**: byte-identical duplicates `value_to_path_segment`/
`value_to_query` (`:133-151`); `forward`'s `op_type` parameter only
toggles `ACCEPT` and its `text/` branch would buffer an entire SSE
stream if a Sub were ever routed here (currently unreachable, inviting
misuse — remove or make safe); the `unwrap_or_else(|_| "null")` at
`:197` masks an unreachable serialization failure with a null body;
`SharedHttpClient::reload` performs two separate `ArcSwap::store` calls.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `application/vnd.api+json` (and `application/problem+json`) decode as JSON, not byte arrays (test)
- [ ] Response size cap enforced on JSON/text/binary read paths (test)
- [ ] Non-SSE content-type on a Sub op produces a loud error, not an empty stream (test)
- [ ] Invalid credential values fail loudly at call time (test), no credential material logged
- [ ] Upstream 4xx/5xx bodies surface bounded in the error envelope (test)
- [ ] Duplicate `value_to_*` helpers collapsed; `text/` buffering branch removed or safe; reload atomic
- [ ] `forward.rs` COV-01 uncovered regions (binary branch, auth arms, non-2xx mapping, content-type branches) substantially covered
- [ ] `cargo test` and `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` pass

## Notes
> Agent fills during implementation. Shares forward.rs with
> review-001-forward-url-safety (request side) and
> review-001-sse-parser — sequence those first or coordinate.
